What's with the empty file

Just finished cleaning out /etc of all the saved and obsolete files. What's with the empty file. arch-release. Does this serve a purpose or do send it to where the sun don't shine.

it's empty because arch is not based on releases .. basically, it has no version ... this point has been rectified some time ago .. i don't know why the -release file is there, but it serves no purpose as far as i can tell

  • What's with the HUGE file sizes for patches

    Hi gang,
    Every time I install a patch my Staroffice directory bloats back up. When installing for the first time, I select english only and it only installs english but when I install the patches it installs about 5 different languages which fattens up the installation. Can't it be smart enough to realize that I only want English or just give me the option during install for English only or better yet, let me download an english only install.
    Now for Linux it is even worse as the "patch" is about 500MB and includes MANY more duplicate files by language.
    Some of us don't have the bandwidth OR HD space to spare on all of this.
    IS Sun at all concerned? Does anyone else care?

    Saturday 13 January 2007
    With the exception of the patches for 1.1.5, which are available as a total of three files, SO is following OOo which includes all files in its updates.

    Make sure you are updating your phone the correct way, by connecting to iTunes and clicking Check for Updates on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings.  Do not try to download the firmware file from the internet first.  Also be sure iTunes is up to date before updating.
    Delete the existing firmware (.ipsw) file and try again.  You will find it at one of the following locations:
    Mac OS X: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
    Windows XP: %AppData%\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows Vista: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Windows 7: %AppData%\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup

  • OSB File polling working twice with the same file

    I have a problem executing a proxy service that get files from a file system. Everything in the flow works as expected, but at a certain point I must wait an update on a database and the process awaits for that change. Everthing goes normal if the update comes within the next 1-7 minutes, but after that if the process is still there(generally 9-11 minutes), a second process is called and the file processed is the same. After the first process is called the folder is empty so I can not understand why the proxy is called again with the same file, since there is nothing on the folder. This can happen since I am doing database modifications.
    The process is only invoked twice with the same file, no process is called again(A Third one) if the two processes are still working, wich is weird. since nothing in my proxy logic returns to the beginning.
    Does "Weblogic/OSB" tends to free resources on a specified time, such as "Max Stuck Thread Time" but for files or other resources?
    Any ideas why this is happening
    Thanks in advance.

    I think this is due to transaction timeout. The PolledMessageListenerMDBEJB under File Transport provider has a transaction timeout of 10 minutes. So if you are having a very long running transactions which spans more than the 10 minutes, you might see the rollback happening due to timeout.
    To confirm is this is the case, when this issue occurs, Go to JMS Modules >jmsResources >wlsb.internal.transport.task.queue.file_auto_n >Monitoring. You should see messages in messages pending column.
    click Show Messages. Click on a message and check Delivery count. This should have a value 1 or more which should mean message has been rolled back atleast once before.
    if it is the case you can try modifying the transaction timeout value of PolledMessageListenerMDBEJB under File Transport provider in deployments and then update the file transport provider deployment. Parallely check with support on what is the official recommendation for increasing timeout.

  • When saving a File OS Is Creating Multiple Folders With The Same File Name

    Not sure what I changed but, now when I save a any file (ppt. word, Keynote,Pages e.g.,) to the desktop or any other location the OS will also create multiple file folders with the same file name as the file I'm saving. Inside the folders are what appears to be files locating the saved files. What can I do to fix this problem?
    I'm using the 10.7.2 version

    It looks like a finder bug. To replicate, I surf to any website, I right-click on a jpg image, select "Save Image As" and in the window that pops up I type in the filename "000.jpg", I select the folder Pictures, and click on Save.
    BTW, I don't know why, but the file was saved only as "000" without the file extension ".jpg". Does anybody know why?
    the extension is simply hidden. go to the get info panel for the file and uncheck the option to hide the extension.
    Then I surf to another image, and again I save it as "000.jpg" and now it asks me if I want to replace the existing filename, although the existing one is "000" and I try to save as "000.jpg", so I say yes, and then magically the file is saved with the full filename including the extension "000.jpg"
    When I did it a couple of times, always saving image as "000.jpg" from various sources, I ended up with two distinct files named "000" and both in the same folder Pictures.
    Please advise.
    it sounds to me like you saved one file as 000.jpg and the other and 000.jpg.jpg.
    check the info panels for the files for full names to verify if this is the case.

  • Where does Lightroom put HDR in the grid view? Is there anyway to have Lightroom stack the HDR file with the source files?

    I can't decipher where (and why) the program is putting the HDR image in the grid. I stack all of my HDR source images so they are easy to track and manage. Other apps/plugins allow you to stack resulting images with their source image. That would be great if there's a way to set that in LR preferences.

    Thanks, but this doesn't really answer the question about stacking the HDR file with the source files. Yes, it does put the file in the same folder, however many of my folders have 100s of images (that often look similar) and as far as I can tell, LR places them randomly in the sort order. It doesn't appear to put them at the beginning or end of the sort (usually by date), but somewhere randomly in the middle. Even if it could be made clear what method it is using to sort them, that would help locate one file among hundreds.
    Ideally, however it should allow you to stack with the stacked source files. Is there anyway to do this? If not, is it a feature that could be requested?

    Not a nice answer!
    Posting "Check the 'More like this'" area and not simply providing the answer is a great way to make these groups worthless.
    You're ignoring context.  On the old Apple Discussion Groups I never posted replies like that, instead giving people relatively detailed answers.  The new Apple Support Communities made things worse by introducing certain inefficiencies.  Then came Lion.  The flood of messages that came with Lion required a painful choice for any of the people who had been helping here: (1) Give quality responses to a few questions and ignore the rest.  (2) When applicable, give a brief answer such as the one that you found objectionable.  (3) Give up all the other normal activities of life and spend full time trying to answer questions here.
    People who needed help with Lion problems seemed to have trouble discovering existing message threads that described how to solve their problems.  I never posted the suggestion of "Check the 'More like this' area" without verifying that the help that the poster needed could be found there.  Even doing that, what I posted saved me time that I could use to help someone else.
    The people helping here are all volunteers.  None of them is being paid for the time they spend here.  They all have a life outside of Apple Support Communities.  It's arrogant of you to demand that people helping here spend more time than they already do.

  • FCC file channel cannot process the empty file

    Hi,
    My requirement is like that a msg mapping getting two files from different sources and combining into one file and send to the receiver. There is a possibility that any one of the file can be empty.. now  problem is how to process the empty file in FCC file channel. When we trying to process the msg we are getting the error msg like "file end of exception". we already check the option empty file in file comm channel....under processing tab. But no use.Though we achieved through a module in sender channel. i want to know how to achieve this through simple content conversion by the FCC channel.
    In Content conversion. Record----> item,.. here what is mean ''? 0 to outbound or 1 to outbound?
    Regards
    Balaji

    Hi Balaji,
    here what is mean ''? 0 to outbound or 1 to outbound*
    means 0 to unbounded.
    Let me remind u ... the requirement cannot be achived in this way.. if file is empty.
    I hope u already checked the option..
    process empty files.
    I think u can handle this by, using a adapter module, in which..
    if file size(ASMA) is zero.. create a empty message and send it
    to the PI.

  • Can I import 2 sets of photos with the same file name numbers?

    I've inadvertantly not had my camera set to "continuous" for file names and now have 2 memory cards with 2 different sets of images with the same file names.
    Can I still import both into Lightroom 2 without problems?
    What are the consequences?
    Thanks
    Stuart

    Yes. Of course, two files with the same name cannot be in the same folder. And don't forget to uncheck Don't import suspected duplicates during import.
    Another thing is that's not a good idea for good asset management, because someday you'll make some mistake because of this ambiguity. Good DAM practices suggest renaming your files after or during import, so that each files has a unique name across your entire image archive.

  • Opening 2 PDF's with the same file name

    I have someone who has difficulty opening two PDF's with the same file name. They had a file open, then try to open another PDF document with the same file name as the original document, however it will not open (and no error displays) and reverts back to the "old" document. Any ideas?

    Are this diferent documents? What version of Adobe Reader?

  • Newbie, what to with the project after it's finished?

    total newbie here... I just finished my first DVD using FCE. Once you're done, what do you do with the project file and all the associated files?
    Is there a way to have everything archived into one folder (i.e., like InDesign's "Pre Flight" and "Package" features)?
    What happens if my source files are in different places on my computer, and after I archive it, I open it? Won't the mapping to the files be off, FCE can't locate them?
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    My back-up methods for FCE projects:
    1) I blow up all my Capture Scratch clips. I save the original DV footage, and since I am careful about my reel numbers, I can re-capture it later
    2) I copy all my other media: music, Photoshop files, LT projs, etc onto a DVD.
    3) On the DVD I also store my FCE project file and my iDVD project file if I have one. Also include any drop zone movies I may have made .. sometimes this eats up a couple DVDs
    Once I have all this, I can easily re-create the projects through Capture Project in FCE or by loading up the iDVD project
    I also record the Timeline of the FCE project to DV tape, to make copies, etc
    Also nice to save a Disk Image of your iDVD project, for later copies
