Using Mac Terminal window in combination with X11

I'm trying to log into a remote computer and bring up X11 applications
to display on my laptop, from within the Mac Terminal window. I
was able to get it to work on MacOSX10.3 by typing in
"export DISPLAY=:0.0" on the remote computer after logging in, but
the same trick isn't working on my MacOSX10.4 machine. I'm using
the "-Y" option to ssh on the 10.4 machine, following an earlier query
on that topic. If I do the ssh -Y from an X11 xterm, everything works fine.
Thanks,
Catherine

Set DISPLAY=:0.0 on the local shell (verify that 'xterm' brings up a local-machine window) before ssh'ing to the remote machine. When you use a local xterm, the DISPLAY is already set to the local screen by default (duh...xterm is an x11 thing:), but Terminal is not an x11 thing so you have to set DISPLAY manually. W11-forwarding works by having the remote machine's x11 come back to "wherever the local shell had its x11 directed".

    Setting up a small business network using mac and windows??

    Ok that sounds great. What is your actual question as it relates to AirPort networking? Is it: Can I set up a wired/wireless network with an AirPort base station that support multiple Mac & PC clients? If so the answer is yes.
    If, instead, it is how to I configure an AirPort network to support a small business you will have to provide more details on both your networking & computing equipment in order for any of us to help you.

  • Using own SQLite DB in combination with Data Management

    Hi,
    Currently on a huge project we're we are using LCDS 3.1 in combination with a AIR 2.5 client.
    I've been reading "Using Adobe LiveCycle Data Services ES2 version 3.1" and I have a question. In the chapter "Building an offline-enabled application" it says on the very first line:
    "You can use an offline adapter with an AIR SQLite database to perform offline fills when a desktop client is disconnected from the LiveCycle Data Services server. An offline adapter contains the SQL queries for AIR SQLite for retrieving cached items like an assembler on the server retrieves items from the data source."
    However, in my experience that AIR SQLite database is not just any DB but one that Datamanagment designs and generates itself, based on the Dto the DataManagement destination is managing. The offline adapter doesn't work like an assembler at all, because the documentation says you can only override the methods pertaining to constructing the WHERE, and ORDER BY parts of the queries, not the SELECT, CREATE, FROM,... parts.
    In our case, we have a database on the server, constructed according to a very specific ERD, and we have a SQLite database on the client, also constructed according to a very specific ERD. What we want to do is execute every fill, create, update, delete against the offline cache and only synchronize with the backend when we want it the synchronize (technically possible by playing with the autoMerge, autoSaveCache, autoConnect,... properties). So what part of datamanagement can we customize to use our DB instead of a generated one?
    Thx in advance!

    You are correct in noting that Data Management does not allow you to use your own database to store offline data.  This data is exclusively managed by the LCDS library for the developer.  The intent is that the local cache is a reflection of the server data, not an independent copy.
    If you have an existing database in AIR, then you will have much more direct control over the querying and updating of that data by using the SQLite APIs directly.
    That being said, you can in essence replicate the data stored on the server, managed by Data Management, in the offline cache.  In an upcoming release (winter 2011) we will have a few features ('briefcases' and a 'changes-only' fill) that will make this story even more compelling for your use cases.  But even with the 3.1 functionality, you can do something like the following:
    Perform a fill() to collect the data you want to have available on the client, save this in the offline cache
    Construct an Offline Adapter Actionscript class that implements the fills you want to perform on the local data
    Use the DataService.localFill() API to perform all of the client application fills, turn off autoCommit.
    When the client is online, call commit() to store client changes and call fill() to refresh the cached data.
    This should give you some ideas on how you could go about constructing your app to leverage the offline features of Data Services.

  • Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.

    Using Lightroom for Windows 8.1 with Epson Stylus Photo R3000 printer.  From PRINT section, if I click either "Page Setup" or "Printer" I get the Epson printer dialog box, drill down, change settings- so far so good.  When I'm finished with the settings and close the dialog box (hit OK) the print job starts immediately; I never get a chance to hit the Lightroom "Print" button.  Question: does this bypass any Lightroom processing or control of the print job?

    Even if I just click the Printer button to verify my settings I should then return to Lightroom, and then click Print to start the job.  This does not happen, the job starts as soon as I close the properties dialog box.  Again, is any Lightroom processing or control being bypassed because of this?

  • Mac Terminal: computer name replaced with "virus"

    Hi, I'm having an issue where, in my Mac terminal, the space where the computer name is shown is instead replaced with the word "virus".
    virus:~<username>$
    Additionally, my internet connection either works terribly or not at all, and this only seems to happen at night.  I have no idea what's going on, but maybe somebody can shed some light on this?

    The most plausible explanation is that someone with access to your computer is messing with you. There's a number of ways of changing the computer's name shown at the command prompt (at least one doesn't involve touching your computer at all):
    1. If your computer is given a name by the DHCP server (your Internet gateway, or whatever you are using), an individual can modify the name that the DHCP service gives your computer and your computer will simply adopt that name when receives its IP address assignment. (Doesn't require access to your computer.)
    2. If your computer didn't get assigned a host name by DHCP, then the system will do a reverse DNS lookup on the IP address it gets. If the DNS server (or /etc/hosts) returns 'virus' as the host name for that IP address, then your system will use that name. (Doesn't require access to your computer.)
    3. If neither of the first two things happened, the system will use the name you set in the Sharing pane of System Preferences. (Someone can set this by simply walking up to your computer and setting it, or by logging in with an admin account and editing /Library/Preference/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist).
    4. Someone could also edit the default prompt used by bash. The environment variable PS1 contains the prompt template string, the default being PS1='\h:\W \u\$ ' -- the '\h' means host name. You can do
    'echo $PS1' to see if it's set this way. PS1 can be set in /etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.profile, and ~/.bashrc
    There's a couple of other possibilities if you are integrating with Active Directory or Open Directory

  • Mac to Windows, taking iTunes with me?

    Switching from OS 10.4.9 to Windows Vista (tired of cross-platform issues at the office). How do I transfer my library from the G4 to the PC? If I sync my iPod to the PC Will I lose everything? Miss my Mac but Vista seems pretty Mac-ish.

    If everything is on the iPod you could copy the songs from there. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

    iRepo Windows Only

    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod

  • Use of action links in combination with hierarchy object in analysis

    Hi All,
    From OBI 11g release hierarchy objects are available in the presentation layer of OBI. We make often use of these hierarchy objects. We also make use of action links to drill down to a analysis with more detailed information. This more detailed analysis should inherit the values of the higher-level analysis. In combination with the hierarchy objects this can give problems.
    An example:
    Let's say we have the following atttributes:
    Hierarchy object date (year, quarter, month), a product column and # of units shipped measure. On the column # of units shipped we have defined an action link to a more detailed analysis.
    Now, let's say the user clicks on the year 2011 in the hierarchy object. The quarters for 2011 are shown. The 'normal' product column attributes contains 'Product A'. The user makes use of the action link that is available by clicking on the measure value of # of units shipped. He clicks on the value that is based on quarter 2 of 2011 and 'Product A'. The detailed analysis is set to filter the analysis on the product and date dimension. In this example the analysis is filtered on 'Product A' but not on the value Quarter 2, 2011. Hierarchy object values are not passed through on clicking on a action link.
    Is there any workaround for this issue? We want to make use of the hierarchy object but users expect to also pass the hierarchy object value to the underlying detailed analysis

    I am facing the same issue...
    First check it out:
    http://prasadmadhasi.com/2011/12/15/hierarchicalnavigationinobiee11g/
    http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/10/oracle-bi-ee-11g-navigation-passing-parameters-using-hierarchical-columns/
    I solved it by using Go URL link. I pass value of hierarchy level (whichever level it is). For Year it is 2012, month: 2012-03.
    Now ugly part: in url I pass 2 parameters that refers to the same value : "Time"."Year"="2012", "Time"."Month"="2012"
    In target report I apply filter: "Time"."Year" "Is Prompted" OR "Time"."Month" "Is Prompted"
    This way in target report only one of filters will work : depending from which level you navigated from source report.
    If you decide use this approach be carefoul with URL syntax, remember about double quotes etc. In my case it was:
    Parameter : value
    PortalGo : [LEAVE EMPTY]
    path : %2Fusers%2Fweblogic%2FMIS%20EVAL%2FT_Target
    options : dr
    Action : Navigate
    col1 : "Time"."Year"
    val1 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
    col2 : "Time"."Month"
    val2 : [SELECT TIME HIERARCHY COLUMN]
    Remember to:
    Remove “=” after PortalGo
    Surround value attribute with double quotes - e.g. @val1=”@{6}”
    After you "adjust" your URL text manually (unfortunatelly it won't be done automatically) it should look like:
    http://10.10.10.100:7001/analytics/saw.dll?PortalGo@{1}&path=@{2}&options=@{3}&Action=@{4}&col1=@{5}&val1=”@{6}”&col2=@{7}&val2=”@{8}”

  • 285 GTX Mac and Windows XP booting with Boot Camp - Black Screen

    I decided to update my 8800GT to the newer 285 GTX. Loaded the drivers, a must first, then installed the card. Booted the Mac and wow what an inprovement.
    Here's where the problems start. I used Boot Camp to boot to my Windows XP 32 install in Bay 2. Got the Windows Start Up screen then nothing but black.
    I reinstalled my 8800 GT and restarted the computer. I installed the latest nVidia drivers (190.38) in XP.
    I reinstalled the 285 GTX and tries again. Mac worked fine when I restarted in XP got the Windows startup screen then nothing but black.
    I could use some answers to solve this problem. I believe the 285 is supposed to work booting Windows from Boot Camp but I can't figure out how to make it work.
    Thanks in Advance

    I know I saw, and tried to help, someone else with the same questions. At that time I think tried to get them to use Driver Sweeper 2.0 and really uninstall drivers and any leftovers.
    So there should be another thread here, but maybe also on eVGA forum.
    And it doesn't make sense, unless XP or even Apple's leftover Boot Camp drivers. So look for Driver Sweeper 2.0, works better; and there is a thread on evga for removing graphic driver and upgrade.

  • Can I use an old Windows hard drive with Boot Camp?

    I have an old windows desktop that has FL Studio files I want to transfer to Logic Pro. I'm working on a Mac Pro with 4 hard drive bays and only 3 hard drives.
    I understand that Boot Camp lets you boot Wndows, but can I install Boot Camp without erasing the hard drive? I just want to be able to plug my PC drive in, hold the option key, and choose to boot the Windows drive from time to time.
    Alternately, could I make a disc image of my PC hard drive, reformat it to FAT and reattach the disc image?
    Thanks,
    Jon

    You can, but it's illegal. A OEM version is designed to be installed on a new computer, not on a computer with an existing operating system, so you can install Windows from there but you should know that's illegal, so Apple doesn't support it. To do this legally, you have to get a full Windows 7 disc version and use it to install Windows.
    If you need the steps to install Windows on the MacBook, read > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf

  • Mac in Windows server environment with SMB shares

    Hello Apple Support Community,
    This is my first post here, so take it easy on me.
    Here is a brief background before I explain the problem. I'm currently in an environment that has about 35 various Mac computers (Mac Pros, iMacs, Mac Book Pros, etc) from many different generations, but all running 10.8.2 or newer. The enviornment also has several Dell Servers running various OS versions (2003 Std, 2008 Std, and one 2012 Storage Server). Active Directory is currently in place and healthy. The 2012 Storage Server is where we are hosting all of the file shares. Users are connecting to these shares via smb.
    We are experincing two problems that may or may not be related.
    Problem #1
    Occasionally (I have yet to find consistency), when we drag and drop a folder from one location to the other (on the same server, in the same share, and usually source and destination reside in the same parent folder) or if we rename a folder, we'll be prompt for credentials with the message "Finder wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."
    Since our local username and password are different then the Active Directory username and password used to connect to the share, I have observed that usually typing in the local username and password allows this prompt to go away. Any other username or password does not work. However, once the prompt goes away, the folder never actually moves on the share or is renamed. This prompt for a password will repeat over and over until you go away, do something else in a different folder, then come back after a while, then it won't prompt you for a password for the same move or rename operation.
    I thought this might be related to permissions at first as we just migrated the data from an old Mac Server to this new 2012 Storage Server, but I have since replicated the scenario with a test share and a series of test subfolders that I just created (no files were involved in the test, just folders). I have also opened permissions to everyone for both the share and the folder structure for this test.
    Problem #2
    Similar to the scenario above, but rather than moving or renaming a folder or file, when we attempt to delete a folder it will occasionally pretend to delete, then appear back in the share as a folder that no one has permissions to. If you navigate away for a while and then return, the folder has actually been removed.
    If anyone has any insight as to why we might be experiencing any of this behavior or direction for how to troubleshoot or solve this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Hello?
    Anyone?
    Bueller...Bueller....Bueller
    It's been a couple of weeks now and no one has any input to help me? Is there something I can provide to get some additional help?
    I've done some research over the past couple of weeks and ran into an article (sorry, I have misplaced the source) that indicated adding the Mac to the windows domain would help with Problem #1 by providing single sign-on functionality. I bound all of the macs in the network to the domain and changed all of the user profiles from local to domain. They are now logging in with their domian credentials. For the most part, this appears to have solved the problem. I will find out more tomorrow as there appears to still be one user experiencing the same behavior even after adding his Mac to the domain and having him log in with his domain account and credentials.
    This is, however, how the problem started in the first place. It began with just this one user reporting the problem, then eventually everyone was having the problem. I'm no longer feeling confident that this has actually solved the problem.
    I've implemented ExtremeZ-IP on the storage server and have redirected the users to using AFP again. This appears to have solved Problem #2.
    We now have two additional problems showing up on the network.
    Problem #3
    Occasionally (again, having a hard time finding any consistency), after opening a file and working on it for a while, we are being presented with an error that a file cannot be written to. Once the error shows up, the problem is persistent. You can save the file as a different name in the same location, and it will take without error. You just can't save the file with the same name. It's as if the file is locked. If I reboot the windows server at the end of the day, the file that was locked no longer has a problem being written to.
    We also see this problem with moving/renaming folders on occasion.
    Problem #4
    Users are reporting that files in a folder sometimes do not appear (the folder appears as blank), but appear fine for others.
    I have seen this issue when users connect with different protocols (one with smb and the other with afp - the smb connected user usually doesn't see the file) but in the process of changing profiles from domain to local, I have switched all users to AFP.
    I could really use some help with this situation. Anything this community has to offer, suggest, or otherwise help me find resolution would be extremely appreciated.
