/var/run/gdm.pid doesn't exist, perhaps GDM isn't running
I'm getting this message when I'm trying to turn off deamon manualy. There is a file in /var/run/ called gdm.pim . It's started after gnome upgrade. What's wrong with this ?
Thanks for your help

  • Characteristic doesn't exist in planning area when running hierarchy STS.

    Hi All,,
    Could anybody help me regarding this problem please ???
    In STS Customizing - IP, i'd like to determine Hierarchy for Subplan, but I always get this message: " Characteristic ZSTSHIER doesn't exist in planning area ZPA01".
    Prior to determine Hierarchy, I've already defined Subplan, Planning Session. I also have already created Planning Area containing characteristic: ZSTSHIER (but I only create for planning area).
    In the prompted window of determining hierarchy, after I define the planning area, I can see the respective Hierarchy Characteristic.
    But when I execute it, It always says " Characteristic ZSTSHIER doesn't exist in planning area ZPA01" .
    Could somebody help me please ??
    Is it SAP Bugs / Do I miss one thing to do ?
    Thanks a lot
    Best regards,
    Daniel N.

    Hi Andrey,
    Thanks so much for your respond.
    The "execute it" means when i'm determining Hierarchy for Subplan.
    It always says "Characteristic ZSTSHIER doesn't exist in planning area ZPA01".
    However, I can see the hierarchy ZSTSHIER in Planning Area inside Master Data tab. I have already created the Hierarchy within ZSTSHIER using RSA1.
    The weird thing that I'm able to define Hierarchy Basic Characteristic and Hierarchy Name within under respective Planning Area.
    Would you kindly help me please ?
    What's going wrong here ? Is that something missing yet to be done ?
    Really need your guidances.
    Best regards,

  • OnLoadError won't run when MC doesn't exist

    Can anyone help me?
    I am using a movieClipLoader & listener object to
    dynamically load a SWF. If the SWF exists onLoadComplete and
    onLoadProgress work just fine (but only if they are not within an
    "if" statement, for some reason) but if the SWF does not exist
    onLoadError does not get called.
    My MovieClipLoader is attached.
    Like I said, everything works but the onLoadError function.
    Any idea why? I need to run my function "showRoute" if the map file
    does not exist. Is there a work-around?
    Thanks for all your help!

    p.s. This is for an interactive acccessibility map I am
    building for my campus.
    You can see this project in progress at
    www.humboldt.edu/~jmr74 and clicking on
    the "Interactive Accessibility Map" link. The above command
    executes when the
    user selects a starting and an ending location from the first
    two drop-down
    menus, then clicks the "Info" button and then the "Route"
    tab. If there is no
    route between the locations the user has selected the
    onLoadError function
    needs to be called to provide other ways to get from A to
    B.

    Not sure. My guess would be that you should move the loadClip
    to after the listener code has been defined. Also it is kind of
    strange – from my perspective – to have all this
    defined inside the button onPress event handler. I would have it
    all outside of that and only have the loadClip in there.
    Again and also odd, I have no idea why you would try and put
    events inside a conditional. What is that about?
    the good/bad thing about Flash scripting is that you can be
    sloppy coding and everything works fine. But as soon as you apply
    strict type programming, all hell break loose
    But yeah, any sort of listener should be created outside
    under the main movie timeline frame on its own. Makes a lot more
    sense.
    Other than that, have you tried create a simpler stand-alone
    flash file specifically only does this MCL? try that and see what
    happen

  • Correct entry for /var/run/slapd.pid

    my os x did not come with slapd.pid so I'm

    know what I'm supposed to use.
    When slapd is running it saves its pid in the file /var/run/slapd.pid
    This allows other processes to find its pid to use to communicate with it.
    You do not need to create this file.
    also any one know the correct entry for
    /var/run/slapd.args?
    Similar to above, this is created by slapd. You don't need to worry about it.
    The better question is why is slapd not running (assuming your machine is set up to be an OD Master).

    I'll assume that's a Mac-Intel machine, as I'm not familiar with macbooks or laptops in general.  Obviously, if it were a PPC you would not need Rosetta in the first place.
    Well, here's what I would do:
    I'd re-install CS4 in the hopes that will solve the problem;
    Second, I'd stop listening (and probably even speaking) to the misguided soul who recommended CleanmyMac to me;
    Third, delete all traces of CleanmyMac; and
    Fourth, I'd reinstall the OS and all applications on my machine.
    But that's just me.

    I have the same issue with kernel26-lts-2.6.32.41-1.
    Recent Arch updates made my favourite operating system of the worst kind: flashplugin freezez in 5 seconds, mozilla gets some freezes as well,
    copying files from one drive to another takes like 1.5h and many more weird things including some frequent performance abuses by the processes.
    I see Arch behaves like old Microshit products. Sad thing but I move to more stable distro very soon, because I have enough of fixing bugs 3 times a week, to make my Arch usable again. Before like 6 months ago updated were less frequent and surprises were once a month not twice a week. Outrageous.
    Perhaps Arch crew is overrun by the Apple guys, to compromise this distro, to encourage people to buy Apple products instead of using faulty Windowses or from day to day more troublesome Linuxes.
    Going to the point.
    So in response I wanted give LTS a try, but it drops me to recovery console (ramfs) saying that "Root device doesn't exist"

  • [Solved]Boot from USB HDD - Root device doesn't exist. Major/minor

    My problem is that the kernel seems (or starts) to load, but then I get an error:
    Root device 'UUID=1234 . . .' doesn't exist.
    Attempting to create it.
    ERROR: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device "UUID=1234 . . .'
    You are being dropped into recovery shell
    I found a few links on the web and in the forums, but nothing that really solved it for me. The solved ones usually downgraded the kernel.  I haven't done that yet.  I thought I'd try here first.
    I have a 320GB USB HDD that I have been using to experiment with different linux distros.  I have a few working successfully (OpenSUSE,Mint,Ubuntu,Debian,Fedora,etc).  I'm very new at this but have been reading a lot and putting a lot of time into it.  I have legacy grub loaded on the MBR and use the menu.lst on my openSUSE partition to boot everything.  Because the partitions for some of the distros are so far into the disk I needed to create directories on openSUSE's /boot directory to contain the kernel and initrramfs files (like /boot/fedora).  This seems to work for the other distros.  I did the same thing for Arch.
    So when I installed Arch I haven't used the bootloader section of the installation.
    I'm using the 2011.08.09-netinstall-i686.iso Live CD.
    I tried a few things including:
    1.    changing the HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
        a.    adding usb to the "HOOKS"
        b.    removing and adding autodetect
        c.    adding and removing "sata_sil" (although I'm not even sure if my device uses it)
    2.    changing the kernel line:
        a.    from using "UUID=" to (hd0,1) to sdb1.
        b.    added rootdelay=8
    3.    repartition all of my arch partitions using cfdisk from my Live CD and reinstall. I used gparted on OpenSUSE to do it the first time.
    This may be connected. When I fdisk -l from the Arch Live CD I get extra data and an error for each of my arch partitions (and only my arch partitions):
    Disk does't contain a valid partition table
    When I fdisk -l from OpenSUSE I don't get the data paragraphs or errors about the arch partitions?
    Here is my /etc/fstab:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information

    I'm IN!  Thanks everyone for your suggestions!
    The arch system didn't like the identifier I was using for the root partition. By looking at the /dev/disk/by-id while the arch system was running, I could see what the system wanted me to call the partition.  So after the system error'd-out and I was in the recovery shell at the [ramfs /] prompt:
    # ls -lF /dev/disk/by-id > by-id.txt
    # vi by-id.txt
    I could have used any of the identifiers listed in the by-id (there were 3), by-uuid(1), by-label(1) or by path(1). I tried them all. I had to write these down by hand because it is a ram filesystem.
    The article that finally got me there is:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pe … ice_naming
    Anyway my openSUSE grub menu.lst ended up like this:
    ####arch on sda10 - legacy grub
    title ARCH
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /boot/arch/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/510bb601-13c1-46ec-87c0-a800dd2efb8b ro rootdelay=8 rootfstype=ext4
    initrd /boot/arch/initramfs-linux.img
    savedefault
    boot
    It's easy once you: 1. beat your head against the wall
                        2. read further
                3. repeat 1 and 2

  • ITunes doesn't load - saying "Directory iTunes doesn't exist" ????

    Dear all,
    I have reinstalled iTunes 7.xx and get the same error when trying to start iTunes. The error message tells me: Directory "iTunes" doesn't exist in Dir: "Eigene Musik", but it exists. What am I doing wrong ?
    Could I please get some help ?
    Thanks in advcance.
    Best regards,
    Manfred

    hmmmm. does that message seem like a German version of the following message?
    "The folder iTunes cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the Music folder."
    if so, the following document is the best place to start:
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
    ... but if you run into the complication where "My Music" doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI, perhaps try the alternate procedure from the following Nigel Carpenter post:

  • C:\programdata\apple computer\installer cache doesn't exist

    I can't uninstall or upgrade QuickTime.  The installer alerts with "Error getting file security: C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\  GetLastError: 5".
    The C:\ProgramData\ directory doesn't exist on my system (Win 7 Prof 64 bit on Dell laptop).
    How can I get this program uninstalled and/or upgraded?
    Thanks

    It will most likely be there. (It's hidden by default on a Windows Vista or 7 system.)
    The 5 suggests either permissions trouble or file damage. Perhaps let's first try checking on disk damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • /dev/sda1 doesn't exist

    Hello,
    Whenever I try to mount my flash drive I use this command:
    #mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb
    For some reason, it says now that /dev/sda1 doesn't exist.
    I think my flash drive itself is dead but it's not inserted when the computer starts so I don't know why the device isn't in /dev.
    I'm currently at school so I can't give the exact error. Tell me if you need the output of any command.

    I do have other things in the usb ports. They're a brother printer and a wireless mouse piece. Here is the output of dmesg:

  • I am having a hard time with a page that is working for everyone else. When I click on anything in the site I get a message that says "The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This is happening on both my ipad 2 and my iphone 5. I cleared my cache

    When I click on anything in the site I get the message " The page you were looking for doesn't exist."  This website works for everyone else, but not on my iPad 2 or iPhone 5. I cleared my cache and history on the iPad, but it still isn't working.

    I live in Germany and my credit card is in my native country of Holland .. then it
    doesn't accept my credit card.
    Your first statement explains the second statement. To use the German iTunes Store, you need to prove that you're a resident of Germany (that is required by the content owners who will not allow cross-border sales) and the only way Apple can provide such a verification is by requiring that you enter in either a German credit card or a German-purchased iTunes prepaid card. Since I presume the former is not a possibility, you'll need to do the latter if you wish to purchase content from the iTunes Store. Again, this is not Apple's choice but is forced on them by the content owners as a requirement for Apple being allowed to sell the content. The EU is working on regulations that would force the content owners to allow access pan-EU, but that's still in the works.
    You do not need an iTunes Store account to activate and run your iPad, though; at least, I didn't need one for either of my two iPads. If you only want to set up an account so you can get free iPad apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    As to the German iTunes Store in English, you can comment to Apple on that via their feedback pages:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback
    Regards.
    P.S. Regarding "this is the only place for a complaint and that will no doubt get removed because
    I'm not full of happy joy sparkles.
    As stated in the terms of use to which we all agreed, this isn't a complaint forum, it's a technical support forum. You don't have to be full of "happy joy sparkles", but posts that are nothing but complaints may indeed be removed. If you want to complain to Apple, use the feedback pages.

  • ICloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist

    iCloud has my old Apple ID and is prompting for a password, but I want to put in the new id, I can't because it is grey and there is no edit option.  I'm prompted for a password to an account that doesn't exist.  Anyone know what I can do to fix this or why this is happening.?  I had no issue putting in my new Apple ID everywhere else, I could sign out of the old and inactive account and then sign back in using my new and proper one.  However, after the update to 7.3 it did a whole welcome to yr iPad and a set up thing and it went to set up iCloud and had my old Apple ID in grey where I can't change or edit it, it wants the password, when I put in the old password, it say yr Apple ID is incorrect but yet it won't let me change it??????? Anyone???

    Sign out and back into your apple id from Settings>iTunes and App stores>(Your apple ID)>Sign Out and then sign in again with the new address. Close app store from running in the background (or restart the phone if your unsure how to do this). If when trying to update any apps they are still asking for the old apple ID, delete and re-install those apps.

  • Can I run two PIDs from the same vi?

    Hi
    I want to control speed of the rotating shaft and force applied by the pneumatic cylinder using two different PIDs from the same program.
    I managed to get two PIDs to work separatly using PID control loop VI`s supplied with labview 6.1 (I got Kc, I and D right, so there is no overshoot). When I try to run both PIDs within my vi they don`t work. I again tried various gains and managed to get one PID to work but not the other. Then through trial and error I managed to get a second PID to work but I had to change refresh time of the FOR loop from 100msec to 1msec.
    Does anyone have experience with running two PIDs in the same program? Does the timing of the FOR loop influence PID contorller? Does equiring of other data while run
    ning PID has effect on the PID?
    I would really appreciate any comments/help. I am pretty thrustrated at this time
    Thanks"

    The timing of the FOR loop will influence your PID control, which is a fundamental part of PID control. Acquiring data doesn't affect the PID although it could affect the timing of the loops. For instance if you only have one DAQ card you would want to have it all in one loop because you can not have two AI sessions open to the same card.
    For more detailed information on PID I would recommend reading the "PID Control Toolset
    User Manual" which should have been installed to your machine but can also be found at : PID Control Toolset User Manual"
