WICDs postconnect script and Openntpd strange problem.

I am using Openntpd to set system's clock. I am using the postconnetc script WICD offers (/etc/wicd/scripts/postconnect/). The script I am running is
#!/bin/bash
/etc/rc.d/openntpd start
Everything was working just fine.
The day before yesterday I booted my pc and saw that WICD couldn't connect with the wireless network. I pressed connect but it was disconnect immediately after acquiring an i.p. address. I restarted wicd daemon and it connected. Next time I rebooted the pc the same thing happened. After that I completely removed wicd (including /etc/wicd folder) and reinstalled it. Everything was ok until I placed my openntpd script to the postconnect folder. The same problem occurred. I thought it was a general script issue. I tried several "random" scripts and every time I had a reference to openntpd (e.g. /etc/rc.d/openntpd start or /usr/sbin/ntpd -s) wicd needs to be restarted in order to maintain the connection.
WICD's log entries.

I have tried two wireless cards (b43 based and rt73usb one). Removed and reinstalled everything associated with wicd,dhcpcd,openntpd. I used dhclient instead of dhcpcd. The problem remains.
The same method I am using to my laptop and everything works fine.
Any thoughts?

Hi,
  First make sure your debugging client and development client is same or not. I not try to copy the same using below options:
1) Just use SCC1 in destination client & give source client name in the space provided..........
check the check box for include sub task ..& click on transpost immediately.......
2) If the destination client is on the same server of original client, you can copy the script directly by trx SE71.
In transaction SE71 goto
Utilities -> Copy from client -> Give source form
name, source client (000 default), Target form name

  • 10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

    Dear All,
    I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
    My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
    I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
    The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
    Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
    What do you think about it???
    MacBook and MacMini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
    I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.

    Make sure none of the boxes on the left under: *Select a proxy server to configure* are not selected.
    If proxies aren't the issue, and it's the same in all accounts, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk, help here for that.

  • Log in and other strange problems

    I have run this computer since '03 with no problems. I am using 10.3.9. At start up, I started hanging on the blue screen. I discovered if I disconnect my ethernet line to the internet, I was starting just fine. This is still basically the situation. I have run permissions and disk utility as well as single user repairs. No real problems found. Soon after this problem, another one creeps in - if I try to move a window, I get latent images of the window all across the screen - and it has now started freezing on me.
    Without more lengthy explanations, does anyone have a clue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary

    Hello! Several things such as if the system prefs might be set to look for a network disk at startup and an internet line that may be flakey or the disk drive directory being corrupt. I've recently been affected with a flakey dsl line and noticed that it was slowing down when it started network services. The telephone company said their line signal was good and strong so it wasn't there problem. I kept trying to tinker with my settings but finally gave up and finally after a month it's settled down. Diskwarrior is a must have Mac utility for directory structure maintenance. Tom

  • WLC 5508 and IPv6 strange problem

    Hi All,
    I recently migrated APs from a 4400 to 5508 which had the 7.4 code and encountered an issue that I haven't
    see before, in short the APs would never join the 5508 even when the selction rules said it should.
    The AP would get a discovery response from both controllers and even though the 4400 had 98 APs attached
    and the 5508 just 1 and a factory reset was made on the AP, it would always join the 4400.
    A packet capture showed that the first CAPWAP address from the 5508 was always an IPv6 whilst the 4400
    always sent IPv4 CAPWAP control adressess, disabling the global IPv6 option on the 5508 ensured that the the first CAPWAP control
    address was now an IPv4 and the AP then happily joined the controller, IPv6 addresses were still showing up in the discovery responses
    but since it was no longer the first one in the packet the AP didn't mind.
    Anyone else seen this kind of behaviour before ?

    That is weird because I have done many remotely with console access also. The image takes 35-40 minutes to complete so if you reboot the WLC within that time period, the FUS didn't complete. It will seem like the WLC is down, but it truly is until it completes.

  • Satellite A300 and Win7 - Strange problem with speakers\sound card

    Hello everyone,
    I am working on a - A300-1MO with win 7 ultimate 32 bit
    In the last few days (since I have installed the Bluetooth driver but I dont think it matters), the sound card, and therefore the laptop speakers, switch from being mute to being active, sometimes in high volume.
    It disturbs me a lot because my computer is making sounds while I am in classes (from apps running\web sites etc.). I almost got kicked out of class several times because of it.
    I tried muting the sound card from the windows mixer and from the sound card application, it's no use.
    I will appreciate any help.
    Thanks a bunch
    Roi.

    Hi roibs,
    > It disturbs me a lot because my computer is making sounds while I am in classes (from apps running\web sites etc.). I almost got kicked out of class several times because of it.
    Maybe you should leave your computer at home and not play with it in your class ;)
    Anyway, I would recommend disabling all Windows sounds in control panel. That means no sounds will be played while you navigate through the Internet or use the Explorer.
    Check this!!!

  • SAFARI crashed and now strange problems

    When Safari crashed all the topics in the "collections" bar that I had deleted returned. They also had all the websites that were listed originaly, and I had deleted, back in addition to the ones I had added. The bar on the bottom of the page (forget what it's called) Is also gone. Don't know where it went or how to get it back.

    Hi Captfantastic, welcome to Apple discussions.
    When Safari crashed all the topics in the "collections" bar that I had deleted returned. They also had all the websites that were listed originaly, and I had deleted, back in addition to the ones I had added.
    Do you mean your deleted bookmarks are back? Hmm not sure what would cause that, did you remove any files? Any more info it may help, or perhaps some ones else knows why & will chime in.
    Try this, Quit Safari, go to your username Home~/Library/Preferences/find the file com.apple.Safari.plist, move that to the trash..
    Do not empty the trash if it doesn't help you can put the file back restoring you preferences overwriting the newly created one.
    The bar on the bottom of the page (forget what it's called) Is also gone. Don't know where it went or how to get it back.
    That's the Status bar, on the Safari menu bar, under "View" click show Status bar.
    Hope this helps some. Let us know.

  • Facing Strange Problem in DIR HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR? (through parent script/ movie?)

    Summary : HARD QUESTION : In the DIR file, the game runs well, right click = no effect. Coz I'm not making right click scripts. BUT in EXE file, right click = ERROR.
    Explanation :
    In the Adobe Director screen, this DIR file game is worked 100%.
    I tested right click EVERYWHERE... NOTHING HAPPENS.
    Because I don't make any programming with "on rightmouseup" or "on rightmousedown" command.
    THEN, I published it into EXE...
    I tested right click EVERYWHERE...I hoped the result will be the same as DIR tests....
    WHEN I RIGHT CLICK IN THE AREA THAT'S GIVEN ON EXITFRAME ME, IT SHOWS ERROR, CHANGING PICTURES.....
    this does not happened in the DIR file...
    I didn't make a runmode program or anything else.... This is awkward... mystery for me...
    WHY THERE'S A DIFFERENCE IN DIR and EXE... it should be exactly the same result.
    I have used Director for years.... This is really strange for me...
    >>>>>>>>HOW TO DISABLE THE RIGHT CLICK MOUSE IN THE DIRECTOR?
    THIS ONE is useless.... It doesn't prevent the rightmouse click,...
          on rightmouseup me
                 nothing
         end
          on rightmousedown me
                 nothing
         end

    Dear Adobe Forums friends
    I need your help and guide through this problem...
    In the game's dir file that is run on the DIRECTOR softwawre,
    the game runs perfectly, I can do LEFT CLICKS (coz I programmed the script)
    and when I do RIGHT CLICKS = there are no effect ( coz I don't do script for it)
    LATER THIS GAME TURNED INTO EXE.
    It supposed to run like the dir file as ABOVE. BUT STRANGELY, WHEN
    I DO RIGHT CLICKS, it turns Error and showing as the picture attachment.
    The right clicks that goes error are above the picture of numeric button only. (in DIR file
    this run normal). I looked into the script behind the numeric button picture, there are only "on exitframe me", there are no script I made inside the "on exitframe me" that is triggering RIGHT CLICKS.
    1. I wonder why there are differences in DIR and EXE effect
    2. Why right click? Left click effects are all normal.
    3. IS THERE ANY WAY TO DISABLE ALL RIGHT CLICKs since the beginning of EXE. So the game will be run normal. I don't need right clicks anyway, but whenever people do right click there will be ERROR.??
    4. Is there any way to STOP THE MESSSAGE BOX TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THE GAME? (I hate the Dirrector Error Message Box), or auto press OK.
    NB: this game uses Buddy API Xtras, File IO Xtras.
    Thx

  • Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

    Hi all,
    About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
    1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
    2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
    3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
    4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
    5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
    I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
    Thanks,
    Nathan
    Message was edited by: nateeanes

    I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
    I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
    1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
    2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
    3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
    Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

    Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
    I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
    I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
    Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
    Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.

  • Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

    Here`s the screenshot.
    But anyway:
    The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
    So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
    If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

    Hi
    I have a problem with color prints from photoshop elements 12. The pictures are too light and with strange colors. I have a Canon pixma mg615I0 printer and use mac os X yosemite. The pictures are taken with a coanon eos 550d in the color space sRGB. I have followed adobes recommendations and have tried both letting the printer respektive photoshop manage the colors. But nothing works. I see that there are different opinions about which is best to do so I tried both. I have the latest printer driver installed. Can anyone help me with this?

    Do the following:
    Print a test page from the printer. Perhaps the print head needs cleaning via its maintenance facility.
    Let the printer manage colors, not PSE
    Calibrate the monitor

  • Strange problem pasting and backspacing in Mail.app

    I've been having a strange problem in Mail.app when composing messages.  Suppose I have a short, three-line message like this:
    Hi John,
    Here's the quote from Einstein:
    Simple enough, right?  So then I go to another application -- for example, Firefox -- to copy some text that I want to paste in.  I put the text cursor at the point where I want to paste the text; in this example, after "Einstein:".  I paste.  And then it looks like this:
    Hi John,
    "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
    Here's the quote from Einstein:
    That's right: it pastes the text ABOVE the line where I want it, instead of just on the same line.  It doesn't matter if I choose regular "Paste" or "Paste and Match Style."
    Now, I tried to be smart, and put a blank line below where I wanted to the text.  When I paste it in, I get the pasted text below "Einstein:" just as you would expect. But if I click at the beginning of the pasted text, and then press backspace so it goes up to the previous line, then it jumps ABOVE the line I want and the result is identical to the one illustrated above.
    Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. When I have copied text that I want to paste into an e-mail, I have to compose my messages elsewhere (usually BBEdit) and then paste them into Mail.app in their entirety.  HELP!
    Also, no: I have zero copy/paste problems in any other application.  I have no clipboard add-on software, either.

    I have the same problem. It also happens in notes.
    Now I created a note in Mail on my Macbook and had this problem: Backspacing a line moved it above the previous paragraph. Then I opened the same note on my Ipad, and I did not have the problem, I could simply backspace the same line and it was connected to the end of the previous paragraph. What I did see in my Ipad note however was that the two paragraphs had a different font (which was not visible on macbook, until I edited it on my Ipad). Somehow my macbook mail creates unsolicited separate paragraphs, which use different invisble fonts, and these paragraphs may not be merged.
    The same problem probably also causes email messages that I compose on my macbook to end up at the recipient in a very different font (i.e., lines/ paragraphs are larger and/or in different font.) than what I see when composing the message. This is really annoying, because it makes you look like a complete moron who is unable to compose a properly edited message.
