What does it mean if the system "cannot find driver for console framebuffer"?

I've just installed Solaris 7 on a SparcStation 20 with 256 MB RAM, 1 + 2 GB hard drives, 1xSuperSparcII. When I boot up it says "NOTICE:Cannot find driver for console framebuffer". I can't run the CDE, and I assume this is because there is no graphics driver. The graphics card (it's an add-on but by Sun) presumably needs a driver and I would have thought that this would have been included with the Solaris 7 CD. The whole thing worked fine when it was running Solaris 2.5.1 and now I've installed a new OS (initial as opposed to upgrade) it just don't work. Any ideas?

The "output-device" parameter may not be set properly in Open Boot Prom(OBP) and hence during installation, the driver may not be installed. To fix this, try the following steps.
1. Note down the current value for output-device. This value is to be restored later.
printenv output-device
2. Set the "output-device" parameter to "screen" in OBP
setenv output-device screen
3. Perform a reconfiguration boot using the command "boot -r"
4. The error will not appear. Verify that /dev/fb refers to a device link.
5. Go to ok prompt again and restore the output-device to its original value (as noted in step 1). The reason for doing this is that some resolution parameters would have been set earlier for your output-device.
6. Reboot the system again. The error may appear again but since the device link is already created, the CDE will work.
Please contact us if there are any issues.
Thanks

What does it mean when the usecounts of Parse Tree for a view is incrementing when a select query is issued against the view?

I'm using SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.50.4033) and I'm troubleshooting an issue that a select query against a specific view is taking more than 30 seconds consistently.   The issue just starts happening this week and there is no mass changes in data.
The problem only occur if the query is issued from an IIS application but not from SSMS. One thing I noticed is that sys.dm_exec_cached_plans is returning 2 Parse Tree rows for the view - one created when the select query is issued
1st time from the IIS application and another one created when the same select query is issued 1st time from SSMS.   The usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view (the IIS one) is increasing whenever the select query is issued.  The
usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view (the SSMS one) does not increase when the select query is issued again.
There seems to be a correlation between the slowness of the query and the increasing of the usecounts of the Parse Tree row for the view.
I don't know why there is 2 Parse Tree rows for the view. There is also 2 Compiled Plan rows for the select query.
What does the Parse Tree row mean especially the usecounts column?

>> The issue just starts happening this week and there is no mass changes in data.
There might be a mass changes in the execution plan for several reason without mass changes in data
If you have the old version and a way to check the old execution plan, and compare to the new one, that this should be your starting point. In most cases you don't have this option and we need to monitor from scratch.
>> The problem only occur if the query is issued from an IIS application but not from SSMS.
This mean that we know exactly what is the different and you can compare both execution plan. once you do it, you will find that they are no the same. But this is very common issue and we can know that it is a result of different SETting while connecting
from different application. SSMS is an external app like any app that you develop in Visual studio but the SSMS dose not use the Dot.Net default options.
Please check this link, to find the full explanation and solutions:
http://www.sommarskog.se/query-plan-mysteries.html
Take a look at sys.dm_exec_sessions for your ASP.Net application and for your SSMS session.
If you need more specific help, then we need more information and less stories :-)
We need to see the DDL+DML+Query and both execution plans
>> What does the Parse Tree row mean
I am not sure what you mean but the parse tree represents the logical steps necessary to execute the query that has been requested. you can check this tutorial about the execution plan: https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/performance/execution-plan-basics/ or
this one: http://www.developer.com/db/understanding-a-sql-server-query-execution-plan.html

What does it mean when the error code says:

what does it mean when it says: cannot get mail-connection to server failed?
I'm talking about my Ipad 2

It means that the iPad cannot connect to the company that serves your email to you.
This can be cause by incorrect settings on your iPad. But if you were able to get mail regularly iprior to this on your iPad it could be a problem with your email provider that is causing the problem.
We're you able to get your email previously with the same device?

When creating installer files, there is an error:the system cannot find the customResource2052.dll file, what's the problem?

I am using labview2009, when I create a installer, there is an error report as blow:
Error: Windows SDK function returned an error. (Error code -12)
Error accessing a resource module "E:\工作资料\项目资料\绿盾\builds\Untitled Project 1\...\Volume\supportfiles\customResource2052.dll".
The system cannot find the file specified.
*** Error Details:

Error in MetaToolbox::UpdateResourceString.
strId: 3; New String: ; LangId: 2052
Windows function LoadLibraryEx returned an error. Error code: 2
*** End Error Report

Hi super008,
The error can be due to some improper installation of a driver or any NI SW that the Installer requires.
Have you recently installed or Uninstalled any NI Software ?
Also -
You can see in the KB below -
That it could also happen due to some incompatibility with the .NET framework or adding exception in the AntiVirus.
SDK Error Code -12 When Building a LabVIEW Installer or Installing LabVIEW

One more question :
Do you have any idea what is this resource :
E:\工作资料\项目资料\绿盾\builds\Untitled Project 1\...\Volume\supportfiles\customResource2052.dll ????
is "Untitled Project 1" your project ?

What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?

What does radio mean in the contact selection instead of mobile or home, and why is it the default?
When adding a new contact, the number shows up as "radio" instead of "mobile" or "home" and I have to change it every time. What does "radio" mean and why is it the default? can that be changed?

Radio is a type of phone service offered by certain carriers. Sprint for instance offers their Sprint Direct Connect Phones (a.k.a Nextel) which have built in Radios. Short Wave or CB radio type features. Also referred to as Push to Talk services.
http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/services_solutions/category.jsp?catId=solution_s dc&catName=Sprint%20Direct%20Connect
Think a walkie talkie in your Phone.
I get the Radio option when using Hotmail contacts as the default Contact creator. If I change it to iCloud or Gmail I no longer get the Radio option in the labels.
If you are using a service such as Hotmail/Outlook.com for your contacts the radio option may be present.
You can change which service is the default service to create new contacts with by going to Settings->Mail Contacts & Calendars->Contacts->Default Account
The Radio label is just an identifier for those types of Phones so you know its a number for a radio phone.

What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

What does "other" mean at the bottom of the sync page? It is taking up a large amount of space on my phone.

The other section contains temporary files, such as text messages, iMessages, voicemail, and other storage that is meant for small short term use. If the other section of your phone has grown quite large and you can't account for what it could be then you may have experienced a syncing error to iTunes.
I have experienced this problem frequently during my years with the iPhone. The other portion of my phone grows with every sync of my phone to iTunes. There comes a point where it takes up the majority of the space on my iPhone, making the device near unusable.
When it grows to this extent is usually cased by an error during the syncing process. Any information iTunes can't reconcile during the syncing process is saved out of sight, out of mind, in the 'other' section.
You will never be able to see or recover this section unless you are very savvy and know how to poke around the archived iPhone back-up on your computer. (if you are thinking of trying, stop. It will not be worth your time and effort, or if using third party software, the money or spyware associated with it *cough* iTools *cough*).
The only fix I have found that works is to back up your phone to iTunes, and preform a 'restore'. This erases the content of your phone, and restores it to factory settings.
That is you phone will be as if you took it fresh out of the box. You can preform a restore from back-up through iTune, or iCloud to get your content back.
Lo and behold your have trimmed the mystery meat.
