What to do when the AUR is down

From time to time the AUR, like any website, goes down.
When that happens, there is a simple, three point checklist you can follow:
1. Check that it is not just a local issue with downforeveryoneorjustme. If it is just you, then troubleshoot your machine/network/typing skills. If it appears to be global, proceed to point two.
2. Do not, under any circumstances, open a thread here. If AUR (or any Arch site is down), rest assured someone is working hard to bring it up. If you have reason to believe that you may have discovered this outage, check on IRC or the ML to see if it has been mentioned. At this point, remain calm and do not panic; proceed in an orderly fashion to point three.
3. If you must have access to the AUR because your pacemaker is running on unsupported software, you have two choices;
one: use the AUR git mirror, http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur-mirror.git, which is in all likelihood still up (for more info and discussion, see this thread)
two: take the time to learn how to write a PKGBUILD to free yourself from the tyranny of reliance on the AUR. Then, when it does come back up, you can contribute your own which, rest assured, will in due course be unavailable to some pooor soul next time the AUR is down. This is the wheel of life...

I guess you are trying to download from Adobe web site. if you are using Mac OS X 10.6.8 or WIndows Vista/XP .
Install Adobe Application Manager and update and Sign in.
It will auto detect the version of Illustrator which is compatible with your computer and list the same .
Then you can go ahead and install the same .
You may download Adobe application manager using below link :
Windows :

Memory content lost when the battery runs down

My computer sometimes saves memory content when the battery runs down, as it is supposed to, so that when it restarts it is restored to the state it was in, but at other times it does not.
Is there a way to find out why this is and fix it?

Thanks for the reply.
Doesn't Apple recommend that you do exercise the battery by using its full capacity? They even recommend running it down from full until the computer saves the contents of memory to the special file, then leaving it 5 hours before charging fully again.
I have never heard of the 20% threshold before.
The odd behaviour in my case is that the computer sometimes does what is should: saves the memory then shuts down and when started restores that data, but at others does not save the data first, and starts up normally when I plug in the power and switch on.

Is there a requirement to restart the JMS/Weblogc Server everytime when the DB goes down?

Question:
When the Database is shutdown gracefully everything was fine.
But when the Database is brought down with shutdown abort the MDB consumer will never consume messages from the topic again. And we need to restart the WebLogic Server in order to get the messages consumed again.
So is there a requirement to restart the JMS/Weblogc Server everytime when the DB goes down? If not, what type of failures will require the JMS/WLS restart?

On a DB failure, a WL JDBC store service will make a brief attempt to reconnect before shutting itself down along with any services that depend on the store.
It isn't necessary to restart the entire WebLogic Server JVM to bring the affected service(s) back if you can use the Automatic Service Migration feature. ASM can automatically restart a failed service on a different WL Server in the same cluster, and/or can try a restart-in-place for the service if the service's original host WL Server JVM is still running. The Automatic Service Migration (pdf) white-paper has a thorough discussion of this area.
In addition to ASM, there's also a "whole server migration" option that can automatically restart or migrate an entire WL server.

Shouldn't ACE 4710 ignore cookie stickiness when the server is down?

Hello,
I have implemented sticky load balancing with cookies. The problem is that if one of my two servers in the server farm is down (and even if the ace recognizes it as down via a probe) it keeps sending the requests to the server that is down, obviously because it has set a cookie for this server,
Shouldn't the ACE ignore the cookie when the server is down?
Is there a command to ignore cookie stickiness if the server is down? Is there another workaround?
an example of my config is
serverfarm host SF_Ebanking
rserver RS_IAS_1 XXXX
    conn-limit max 4000000 min 4000000
    probe http_probe_ebanking
    inservice
rserver RS_IAS_2 XXXX
    conn-limit max 4000000 min 4000000
    probe http_probe_ebanking
    inservice
sticky http-cookie ACE_COOKIE ebanking_sticky
cookie insert
replicate sticky
serverfarm SF_Ebanking
16 static cookie-value "server01" rserver RS_IAS_1
24 static cookie-value "server02" rserver RS_IAS_2
thanks,
george

This is not as obvious as you seem to believe.
ACE will not select a server that is down !!!! Even if the cookie points to that server.
What might be happening is that the connection from the browser to the ACE has not been killed, so when client sends a new request it reuses the existing connection and ACE does allow an existing connection to be maintain with a dead server by default.
Try the command 'failaction purge' under the serverfarm.
This should kill the active connections with the dead server and allow a new connection to be open with the other server even if the cookie points to the dead one.

Gilles.

How to show an error Page in Weblogic when the server is down

Hi ,
I heard that every container has the facility to show an error page when the server is down and (when the request has arrived at that time ).
Please tell me how to configure this in BEA weblogic ??
Thanks .

Hi,
From my understanding weblogic dose not provide the thing which you are asking for, reason is given below.
- An application is deployed only on managed server one (MS-1)
- Now if the request comes to the server (MS-1) when it was running and then for some reason MS-1 goes down then weblogic server would be able to send any response back to the client as its down.
- Hence nothing can be done as the request object is been lost when the server goes down or even cant redirect to an error page as for doing that too the server has to be up and running.
However there are other way round which can help you overcome this issue as shown below
- Use Clusters with few managed servers in it which gives you high availability and load-balancing.
- Use any web servers like Apache in front of weblogic servers.
Using the above things you can also use customized HTTP Error Responses with error-page element in web.xml and create your own error pages which can be re-directed for the web server side also. For more information go through the below links

What has occurred when the IPhone has gone blank?

hi please repost your answer...not sure what you are saying...ps: the old iphone didn't have this problem and the cases were the same so not sure this is a valid reason!?
I was trying to indicate that I have noticed the upp part of the iPhone 3g has a sensor(s) above the ear piece. If this area is covered while talking on the phone I have noticed that when the conversation is over. The iPhone is blank. If I expose this area, the iPhone screen is once again visable.
Here are links of what I am explaining:

iPhone 2gs have the area above and around the ear piece covered. The manufacturer of the case has redesigned the case exposing this area on the 3g's look here:

I have figured out that in using my old case I must push the iPhone 3g up and out of the case enough to wake the screen.
I hope this helps.

What to do when the ssd "wears out"?

I recently bought a Macbook Pro with Retina Display, 256gb ssd, 8gb memory. However, after reading into the difference between hdd and ssd, I noticed that ssd's have a shorter lifespan because of each cell having a read/write limit. my question is what to do when the ssd "wears out" or dies? Is it impossible to fix or can I just buy another ssd? Thanks in advance.

Depending on the brand and technologies used by the maker, you can get a fair build
and a better guaranty or warranty with a product such as OWC offers. However one
has to always maintain suitable backups and duplicates, not just timemachine effects
but also complete bootable full system clones in external drives that don't use the
computer's port power to sustain or run them.
And also backup power supplies that filter grid power to limit damages from high and
low voltage, along with other effects of nature and man that can destroy electronics.
The backup scheme of over-redundancy is the answer to the problem of when product
failure can cost you not only a livelihood, but perhaps a few years of your life, too. And
not everyone can use the Cloud backup, some ISPs are incapable of troublefree file
handling and a local backup is a better use of your time if something happens.
SSDs wear out. Expect them to and be ready for that to happen. Mark your calendars!

How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

How can I create a scrolling effect where when the user scrolls down the image will blur out?

Hi there,
You can create a scroll motion where the image will fade out on scrolling, you need to use the Opacity tab under Scroll Effects Panel.
If you particularly need the image to be blur out, then you need to edit that image in any image editing program and make one copy of that image as blurred, then place both images (actual and blurred) on that page and use scroll motion or fade option to replace images.

Follow sprite when the mouse is down, but randomly move when mouse is up?

I have a sprite that has a Random Movement behavior.
While the mouse is down, I want it to stop this behavior and initialize a Follow Sprite behavior instead.
When the mouse is lifted, I want to stop the Follow Sprite behavior and reset/restart the Random Movement behavior.
Openspark helped me out with a different version of a very similar behavior a long while back, which worked. It switched between Random Movement and Draggable. I tried to edit the code so that it would apply to Follow Sprite instead of Draggable, but it isn't working the way I thought it would.
The order of behaviors on my sprite is as such:
followSprite (Follow Sprite)
moveToward (The behavior described above)
randomMove (Random Movement)
turnTowardsMouse (sprite faces mouse when it is clicked)
Face Destination (if not facing mouse, sprite faces toward the randomized endpoints generated by randomMove)
This is the moveToward behavior - the middleman that's supposed to be swapping between the two:
property pSprite
property pTouching
on beginSprite(me)
pSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
end beginSprite
on mouseDown(me)
-- Overrule the Random Movement and Rotation behavior until the mouse
-- is released. See the on prepareFrame() handler for the effect.
pTouching = TRUE
end mouseDown
on prepareFrame(me)
if pTouching then
    -- Block the event from reaching the Random Movement and Rotation
    -- behavior, so that only the Draggable behavior will work.
    if the mouseDown then
      stopEvent
    else
      -- The user has released the mouse.
      -- Start a new movement in the Random Movement and Rotation behavior.
      pSprite.pPath = VOID
      sendSprite(pSprite, #mNewPath)
      pSprite.pRotate = VOID
      sendSprite(pSprite, #mNewRotation)
      pTouching = 0
    end if
end if
end prepareFrame
Can anyone help me figure this out?
If you want to imagine a visual, it's essentially a touchscreen fish tank. Fish swim around randomly, but when someone is touching the screen, they approach the point of contact (which is defined by a tiny invisible sprite centered on the cursor).
Once again, thank you so much to anyone who can help me out. This is part of a capstone undergraduate art project I am doing - and I am far more experienced in making the visuals than I am in coding. I am having to mostly tackle Lingo on my own. Any coding help I've received will be recognized (with permission) on my artist website as well as a thesis paper I am writing that will be published in May.

As first steps at troubleshooting you could try an SMC reset and a PRAM reset:
SMC Reset
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer’s power cord and disconnect peripherals.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Attach the computers power cable.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If that doesn't help, what OS are you running? Depending on the OS (Lion/Snow Leopard) will help determine the next step.

[SOLVED] No new window when the network is down

Hi all,
My problem is quite simple: when my network connection is down, every application I try to launch take ages before the new window appear (whatever the application is: xterm, firefox, ...).
I suppose that it's due to a bad configuration of my local loop but I can't understand where is the problem. I'm behind a NAT, here is what ifconfig says:

(Note that I don't have any idea of why the 169.254.0.0/16 route is there as it's absolutely not a part of my network).
I tried to add a route for localhost using lo but nothing changes.
my hosts.allow contains all my local IP addresses (127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.2) and all the iptables policy are ACCEPT without any other rules.
Can someone explain to me why I can't use my computer when my network is down ?

Do you have a proper localhost entry in /etc/hosts?
