Using X11 and Fink/Fink Commander to run Compiz Fusion?

Hi! One of my friends who loves Ubuntu Linux showed me some weird app called Compiz Fusion and im like ooo... i wanna play wiht that. And I remembered that OS X had a way of installing Linux apps.. so I downloaded the .tar of compiz fusion and I also downloaded and installed Fink and Fink Commander for OS X 10.5.2 but um.. yeah Im not very good with running terminal and junk.. I was following directions so I checked my list of app packages Fink could install in Terminal but either I didnt see compiz or it came up as a name I didnt understand.. does anyone here have experience running X11 and Fink? Or if you have a link where I can teach myself X11 and Fink that would work too! Thanks in advance!

Not to worry. I would lose interest long before that happened
I didn't knock OSX except to point out an actual bug with X11.
But it is not a bug with OSX if some 3rd party tool is not compatible. It is a Mac, not a Linux workstation. If you want to run Linux on it, you can install Linux on it. The Mac has its own window manager designed to allow most X11 apps run and not look too bad alongside the Mac apps. It really is a design feature.
Personally, I like both.
I like UNIX - a lot. But I'm not too fond of Linux. It is for people who do want to build their own machines out of components. I'm a software person, not a hardware person. That doesn't interest me in the least. As a software person, I have little interest in developing software for Linux because every single Linux box is unique. That is a hassle I don't want to deal with. That is why I like MacOS X so much - all the power of Solaris with the beauty and easy-of-use of a Mac.
In the past there were tons of issues doing linux installs, and linux was fairly labeled as finicky and difficult. By the same token, when I was trying to upgrade to Leopard recently, I got a warning that my only option was "erase and install".
You lucked out. Erase and install is the best way to install a major OS upgrade.
No other options, no explanation why, no suggestions for fixing it -- it was as mysterious as a Linux install from 1999, albeit with a much prettier formatting error message.
In 1999, I didn't even get that much from Linux. The X server just crashed as soon as the install was done and took the boot partition with it - reinstall from scratch. I have VectorLinux running in Parallels, but I never use it.

Getting error when using the "/parameter" switch in command line run

Has anyone experienced this problem before?
My report queries over 100,000 records from a view. When the report is run from the command line every thing works fine.
But when I add a condition using a "parameter", although the report still runs fine from the destop, when launched from the command line it errs.
"Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and needs to close. ..."
"The instruction at "0x0044397c" referenced memory at "0x0000004e". The memory cound not be "read"...."
I'm guessing its a memory issue with my PC. I've tested using a parameter with other reports using fewer records and it doesn't err from the command line.
I can work around the issue by not using a parameter but then I have 20 versions of the same report each with a different condition.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Lise McGillis

Hi Michael,
I'm using an DELL Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00 GHz with 1 GB of RAM. We use Microsoft Windows XP Prof version 2002.
As for Discoverer we are using 10G, Desktop Client 10.1.2.48.18 - 1047500 KB available memory , 2099744 KB Free disk space.
I'm not sure I have acess to a computer with more RAM but I'm looking into it.
What I'm frustrated by is the fact that the parameter works fine when run directly from the desktop but when passed from the command line it bombs... but only when dealing with mega records.

Error when using try catch inside oledb command to run stored procedure

Hi,
i'm using the below command to run some jobs using OLEDB Command
exec sp_start_job @job_name =?
and it runs successfully
when i put this code inside try catch block as below , it generates error and don't accept it
begin try
exec sp_start_job @job_name =?
end try
begin catch
end catch
the error message is "Syntax error, PErmission vaiolation or other nonspecific error"
do you know is there any problem using TRY catch insdie OLEDB command ?
Thanks ,
Ahmed Salah

Hi Ahmed,
According to your description, if an error raised that fails the package, then you want the package to continue execute.
To achieve this requirement, we can use Integration Services (SSIS) Event Handlers that we can create custom event handlers for an OnError event when an error occurs to continue processing rest of the package. For more details, please refer
to the following blog:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

I am downloading a digital album and i have to choose between apple lossless, flac, and high quality mp3. i am using itunes and i have a pc running windows 7 does that make a difference?

I am downloading an album and I don't know which format to choose. Flac, apple lossless, or high quality mp3. I want to play it in itunes, on my iphone and i have a pc running windows 7. Does that make a difference?

Go with Apple Lossless. It will play readily in iTunes vs. FLAC. You can convert it later to mp3 if you wish but you cannot convert mp3 to ALE or FLAC and get back the quality that was lost. You can also convert ALE to FLAC if you need to.

Use Siri and older voice command at the same time?

Hi all,
It is my understanding that Siri cannot be used simultaneously with the older version voice command.
If I wish to use the older voice command function, I have to deactivate Siri, which is terribly incovenient.
Is there any way I can use both simultaneously?

No, it's not normal. You should be able to send and receive from any mail account set up on your device, whether the account is also set up on another device or not. Have you tried sending email from your @me account on your Mini? Does that work properly?
Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try on your Mini:
On Safari and go to www.apple.com to confirm that your connection to the internet is working properly
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Fetch New Data, make sure Push is set to On, tap Advanced at the bottom, tap your @me.com address and make sure Push is checked.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Mail section) and confirm that you have selected your @me.com address as your defalut.

Using x11 and Gimp

I started to download Gimp and was given a message that I needed to install x11. I have a MacBook Pro with v 10.4.11. When I tried to install x11 a message popped up that I had a newer version on my computer. What version do I need to install and how do I go about it to get Gimp to work?
Thank you for any help

Sorry to digress from the OP question...

But only the newest developer version of X11 seems to work with tablets and Gimp. And that version is only for the very newest update of Leopard. Anyone know if there will be a X11 compatible with OSX 10.4 regarding the tablet functionality?...
Well, that is not entirely correct. I am using a Graphire4 Wacom tablet and the basic mouse/pen functionality works in X11 (GIMP, GIMPshop) for pointing, clicking, drawing, etc. The main (essential) feature that is not supported in 10.4.11 version of X11 is pressure sensitivity. There are some linux drivers that support pressure sensitivity, but I think the X11 version in 10.4 still won't support it. (You might be able to find some open-source version of X11 as an alternative and compile and build it yourself if you are a developer) If anyone is aware of an update to X11 available for 10.4 that works with pressure sensitivity, please correct me if I am wrong. (Of course the pressure sensitivity works with the bundled tablet software Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter Essentials, so you can always make some layers/masks with the pen tablet using that software and then export those to your GIMP project to add more effects or to the use the tools that are missing from the bundled software)
Has pressure sensitivity support been introduced to X11 in 10.5, or is that still in development?

Why use FNDCPASS and not Alter command

FNDCPASS is used to change in application users' password
I was told that if we logon to db and use "Alter user identified by password", this change wont be reflected to applications...
Is this true? what exactly happens in these two cases?
Need ur help....
Regards
Bipin

Once You change the password using FNDCPASS...it will change the password in all
places...it will take careWhen changing the password for APPS using FNDCPASS, you need to run AutoConfig
If your system is NOT AutoConfig enabled, you need to change change the APPS password in the following files manually:
1. $ORACLE_HOME/listener/cfg/wdbsvr.app file as well. (Otherwise users will not
be able to login to the Personal Home Page or Self-service web apps.) This may also be necessary in the $IAS_ORACLE_HOME\Apache\modplsql\cfg\wdbsvr.app file
2. Workflow Notification Mailer - $FND_TOP/resource/wfmail.cfg
3. The concurrrent manager start script.
4. $OA_HTML/bin/appsweb.cfg
5. $AD_TOP/admin/template/CGIcmd.dat may contain the password if it is being used.

How to use SET and GET parameter commands ?

Explain these two giving an example?As which is used for what?

Hi Albert,
         SAP allows you to make use of SPA/GPA technique to fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program.SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs. A user can access the values stored in the SAP memory during one terminal session for all parallel sessions. Each SPA/GPA parameter is identified by a 20-character code. You can maintain them in the Repository Browser in the ABAP Workbench. The values in SPA/GPA parameters are user-specific.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.
To fill the initial screen of a program using SPA/GPA parameters, you normally only need the SET PARAMETER statement.
The relevant fields must each be linked to an SPA/GPA parameter.
On a selection screen, you link fields to parameters using the MEMORY ID addition in the PARAMETERS or SELECT-OPTIONS statement. If you specify an SPA/GPA parameter ID when you declare a parameter or selection option, the corresponding input field is linked to that input field.
On a screen, you link fields to parameters in the Screen Painter. When you define the field attributes of an input field, you can enter the name of an SPA/GPA parameter in the Parameter ID field in the screen attributes. The SET parameter and GET parameter checkboxes allow you to specify whether the field should be filled from the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter in the PBO event, and whether the SPA/GPA parameter should be filled with the value from the screen in the PAI event.
When an input field is linked to an SPA/GPA parameter, it is initialized with the current value of the parameter each time the screen is displayed. This is the reason why fields on screens in the R/3 System often already contain values when you call them more than once.
When you call programs, you can use SPA/GPA parameters with no additional programming overhead if, for example, you need to fill obligatory fields on the initial screen of the called program. The system simply transfers the values from the parameters into the input fields of the called program.
However, you can control the contents of the parameters from your program by using the SET PARAMETER statement before the actual program call. This technique is particularly useful if you want to skip the initial screen of the called program and that screen contains obligatory fields.
If you want to set SPA/GPA parameters before a program call, you need to know which parameters are linked to which fields on the initial screen. A simple way of doing this is to start the program that you want to call, place the cursor on the input fields, and choose F1 followed by Technical info. The Parameter ID field contains the name of the corresponding SPA/GPA parameter. Alternatively, you can look at the screen definition in the Screen Painter.
The SPA/GPA parameter for the input field Company has the ID CAR. Use this method to find the IDs CON, DAY, and BOK for the other input fields.
The following executable program is connected to the logical database F1S and calls an update transaction:
REPORT BOOKINGS NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
TABLES SBOOK.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: 'Select a booking',
SKIP.
GET SBOOK.
WRITE: SBOOK-CARRID, SBOOK-CONNID,
         SBOOK-FLDATE, SBOOK-BOOKID.
HIDE: SBOOK-CARRID, SBOOK-CONNID,
         SBOOK-FLDATE, SBOOK-BOOKID.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
SET PARAMETER ID: 'CAR' FIELD SBOOK-CARRID,
                    'CON' FIELD SBOOK-CONNID,
                    'DAY' FIELD SBOOK-FLDATE,
                    'BOK' FIELD SBOOK-BOOKID.
CALL TRANSACTION 'BOOK'.
The basic list of the program shows fields from the database table SBOOK according to the user entries on the selection screen. These data are also stored in the HIDE areas of each line.

How can I use undo and redo with run time menu?

Hi..I try to built my own menu for graphic programming. How can I use undo and redo in labview with run time menu?

filozof-
During runtime, by default, LabVIEW has undo/redo data changes under the edit menu. This will undo/redo changes made to controls during runtime. If you want a more extensive undo/redo (custom for your application), you are going to have to do quite a few things
1) Create a custom runtime menu (Edit>>RunTime Menu) and place your own undo/redo controls on it
2) Keep an action history in your program
3) Catch the Shortcut menu event for your custom undo/redo controls
4) Reverse the last action in your histroy when you catch the event
This method would allow you undo entire operations (like resize, move, or whatever kind of functionality you are building into your application) unstead of just undoing data changes.

Syntax errors using sql and java

Could somebody inform of the correct syntax for using UPDATE and INSERT SQL commands in a java program? Any information I can find demonstrates this with:
INSERT INTO table_name(column_name, ..., column_name)
VALUES(value, ..., value)
However - this isn't working? any suggestions - and I know its very basic, but I'm just learning.
String query = " INSERT INTO SESSIONS (" +
                    "id,module_name, module_number, level, session " +
                    "term, class_list, location, lecturer" + ")
VALUES('"+
                    fields.id.getText() + "', '"+
                    fields.module_name.getText() + "', '" + fields.module_number.getText() + "', '" +
               fields.level.getText() + "', '" fields.session.getText() "', '" +
               fields.term.getText() + "', '" fields.class_list.getText() "', '" +
               fields.location.getText() + "', '" fields.lecturer.getText() "')";
          output.append( " \nSending query: " + connection.nativeSQL(query)+ "\n");
          output.append( "query sent");
thanks
          int result = statement.executeUpdate(query);

With all those quotes and apostrophes and string concatenations, I'd be surprised if you got it right by the fourth try. (By the way, you appear to have missed a comma between "session" and "term".) Are you planning to insert more than one record in your program? If so, you should consider using a PreparedStatement. This will likely run faster, and your program will definitely be easier to read. Also, you won't have to come back here later to ask how you deal with data that includes apostrophes (the notorious "O'Brien" problem). Here's how you do that... you define the PreparedStatement only once:
String query =
"INSERT INTO SESSIONS (id,module_name, module_number, level, session, term, class_list, location, lecturer) " +
"VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement insert = connection.prepareStatement(query);and then every time you want to insert a record you do this:
insert.setString(1, fields.id.getText());
insert.setString(2, fields.module_name.getText());
// and so on...
insert.executeQuery();

X11 and Remote KDE desktop

I have started using my Mac for Unix systems administration using X11 and XDMCP (??) to a local linux box running KDE. I start X with -query a.b.c.d and running fullscreen I get a nice fullscreen desktop login. Everything was working fine until I realised that I was still running the Panther version of X11 on my Tiger system. I have upgraded from the install CD and now have a minor but impossible problem.
Everything works as before and I can login to the box. I open a Konsole session on the KDE desktop and suddenly discover that the "e" key on my keyboard has become a backspace key!!! Every other key seems to work fine!!
I cannot figure out what is causing this and how to fix it any and all advice/suggestions would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.

Running OpenOffice using X11?

I have a couple of problems running OpenOffice using X11 with Leopard 10.5.1. When I try to start OpenOffice from the dock, it opens an X11 window but then says "Command timed out." before launching OpenOffice. OpenOffice then launches when I click "O.K." in the message window but the wizards (e.g., fax wizard in Writer) don't work. I get a message saying, "OpenOffice.org requires a Java runtime environment (JRE) to perform this task. Please install a JRE and restart OpenOffice.org." I thought I had a JRE installed with Leopard. No?
Any help with either of these issues would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to get away from MS Word and like that OpenOffice is free and available in the Windows platform as well. Thanks.

It's an X11 issue.
See this article:
http://homepage.mac.com/sao1/X11/index.html
I installed the lastest version of xquartz - http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/xquartz
but it did not help much with open office.
For now NeoOffice 2.2.2 patch 8 is the cat's meow.

Firstly, what is the source of the 10.6.4 disc? Is it the original installation disc for your MacBook, or one 'borrowed' from another computer?
It isn't the retail version, because that's 10.6.3.
Assuming it's the correct disc (i.e. the one that shipped with your Mac), you need to boot from it again.
OK the language page.
From the installer screen, ignore the continue button, go to the menu bar and choose Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
In DU, select your internal drive in the sidebar (the top item with the makers name and serial no.).
Run Repair Disk. If that comes up as disk OK, click the partition tab. Select the partiton from the drop-down above the graphic; 1 partiton is all you need.
Go to the options button and ensure that the partition scheme is GUID and the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journalled). Name the partiton (usually Macintosh HD), click Apply.
When the Macintosh HD volume appears below the drive name, quit DU and see if you can then install.
If the screen after the language screen doesn't show the menu bar, it may be necessary to use another Mac to do the job with the MB in Firewire Target Disc Mode. If it won't boot in TDM, or the MB doesn't have FireWire then it's getting very difficult.

Unable to configure Reporting Services 2012 after using 'netsh http delete urlacl' command and .EXE file also.

One of my servers quit responding during some troubleshooting of another issue and when I try
to reconfigure it I am receiving Results as follows:
Reserving url http://+:80
The URL has already been reserved.
It appears to me that there is something with the Virtual Directory that is not allowing me to use it or
overwrite it. If I change the name or the port the new configuration works fine, however this is part of a scale-out test environment and I need to keep the virutal directory names the same.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled SSRS in an attempt to resolve, but that did nothing to this issue.
I have used 'netsh http delete urlacl' command and deleted saved urls also but still am facing issue.
How can I manually list, delete, or edit Virtual Directories in SSRS 2012?

Hi Syed,
Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the default values for Report Server Web Service and Report Manager has already been reserved. In order to trouble shoot this issue, please refer to the following steps:
To check this issue, we can run the following command in the command windows:
netsh http show urlacl | find "Report"
It should returns the reserved URL as below:
Reserved URL :
http://+:80/ReportServer/
User:
Reserved URL :
http://+:80/Reports/
User:
Then we can delete the reserved URLs with the command below and recreate them to fix this issue:
netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/ReportServer/
netsh http delete urlacl http://+:80/Reports/

I want to be able to run firefox on one Mac with its window displayed on another (using X11?), can I do this?

I have an Apple Mac (running MacOS 10.6.8) at a remote location. I want to be able to run Firefox on this machine but with the Firefox display window redirected to my local Mac. I used to be able to do this with UNIX (e.g. LINUX etc.) systems running X11 by setting the DISPLAY variable on the remote host. Is it possible to do this using the X11 on the Mac? and, if so, do I need to rebuild Firefox to display using X11? At the moment, whatever I try, Firefox just starts its window on the system on which it is started.

Dear finitarry,
The X windows system was developed in the 1980s at MIT (I seem to remember that it was called X because it was based on a window system developed for use on Xerox graphics terminals). X11 is used by Unix based devices to control their windows, so is used by Linux (a free version of Unix), but is not part of it. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to post this query on a MacOS forum.
Cheers
