X doesn't start in Vbox with guest additions installed (Solved)

Hi all. I just installed Arch in Vbox and all went well until I installed the guest additions package with pacman. Now X won't start. I uninstalled the guest additions package and X starts normally.
Any ideas?

Azure In Role Caching Doesn't start on server with "Not running in a hosted service or the Development Fabric."

I started to use Azure in-role caching and everything works great in Azure compute emulator on my local machine, but not on server. I've already dealed with some problems, like lack of msshrtmi.dll on server, but now can't understand why get this error:

All I found about this error is that it occurs if you start local Azure compute emulator with in-role caching and without administrative rights. But in emulator everything works fine and problem occurs only after I publish to staging environment. (if switch
to production, error remains).
I use cache for resolving routes like /username and /countryname etc. So available usernames and country names will be cached and updated on changes in database. I have static class with static DataCache object which is created on first request to cache. But
even home page doesn't start so error occurs before I try to create cache object.

Hi Jambor, I don't have reference errors. I had them before but already fixed with copy local = true for few references.
I receive error only on azure host service. In local everything works great, app starts, cache works and I can see data in cache. Yes, in local mode cloud project is set as startup and VS runs as administrator.
I've added TraceListener creating code you suggested:
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
System.Diagnostics.Trace.Listeners.Add(new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics.DiagnosticMonitorTraceListener());
and error code changed a little. But as I see problem is the same but caused when creating TraceListener from Application_Start instead of when initalizing cache:

VirtualBox Guest Addition install failed

Hello,
I just build a linux-guest virtual box and I am trying to install the guest addition and the first step is to run "/etc/init.d/vboxadd setup". I got the following error:
+"The heaers for the current running kernel were not found. If the following module compilation fails then this could be the reason. The missing package can be probably installed with+
+yum install kernel-devel-2.6.18-194.e15+
+You system does not seem to be set up to build kernel modules. Look at /var/log/vboxadd-install.log to find out what went wrong. Once you have corrected it, you can run /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup to build them."+
And the log file reads:
+"*** Error: unable to find the sources of your current linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.. Stop"+
I then tried "yum install dkms". This time no error but it says +"No package dkms available . Nothing to do".+ Also, my /usr/src/kernels directory is empty. I dont know if this is part of the reason.
Thanks for the help.

OpenLDAP doesn't start – it quits with error "Segmentation fault"

I tried do set up and start the OpenLDAP server as it is delivered with my iMac and OS X Tiger 10.4.5.
$ sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -d 255
...prints a lot of stuff (reading config file and core.schema) and then quits with:

Even "sudo /usr/libexec/slapd -V" ends with that error message:

Firefox won't start on computer with Windows x64 installed

Thank you for your help!
I have been having trouble with Firefox starting on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer for months now. It opens the process, but the browser window doesn't appear. Sometimes I have to close the process and restart it multiple times before the browser window opens. The browser process does in fact close when I exit the program, so this isn't the issue.
I have tried everything on the following webpage, as well as other suggestions posted on the Internet to no avail.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues:_Firefox_Won%27t_Startup
In addition, I have had the exact same profile installed on two separate computers running 32-bit Windows XP and they have never experienced this problem.
I'm really frustrated by this, because I absolutely love Firefox in every other regard. I must, given I'm still using the browser, despite dealing with this nuisance for so many months.

it does not work even in windows safe mode with networking. same issue. if i wait for some time firefox comes but in not responding mode. then a pop shows up with - script: chrome//browser/content/tabbrowser.xml 2123 .

Increase screen resolution in VBOX using Guest additions

Dear all,
I have installed SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 11 as my VM in VBOX. NOw i want to increase my screen resolution from 800*600 to 1024*768.My base machine is MAC.Please help me. I have installed all packages.
Regards
Bobby

Screen resolution are two things: Monitor and Video driver. You will probably have to change your installed virtual monitor to a monitor that supports your desired resolution, in addition to changing the resolution of the video driver. Also in VM make sure you assign enough video memory. Normally 8 MB should be more than enough for true color SVGA.

Yum config, kernel-header, and VBox guest additions

It appears that I've entered the Twilight Zone in dealing with kernel-header issues and installing OL 5.7 under VBox.
After using VMWorkstation quite happily for a few years, I've decided to give VBox a try. First I struggled with the differences in the way the two products handled networking (host-only and NAT), now I am struggling with getting VBox Guest Additions installed.
The first thing I do after initial OS installation is configure for the public yum server. Next I try to install the Guest Additions - mostly so I can share a directory with the host OS (Win 7) and pull in a bunch of standard scripts, Oracle DB install media, etc. Running the Guest Addition install - VBoxLinuxAdditions.run - complains about packgages, so I get them installed, and finally it complains about the kernel headers - unable to find source of kernel.
Looking around the web there seem to be a lot of 'this worked for me' -- with every solution being a bit different in critical details. I'd like to find not only a solution that will work for me, but also some explanation of the principals involved.
I'm beginning to suspect it may have to do with exactly how one configures 'public-yum-el5.repo'. I've always just enabled the section [el5_u7_base] (enabled=1) and left all other sections with 'enabled=0'. (and the 'u7' could vary, depending on what version I'm working with -- I've used 5.5 and 5.7). I just now built a new machine to try to crack this problem, and this time paid a lot more attention to what else was in the yum repo file. I noticed that not only are the '[el5_u(something)_base] sections:
[el5_latest]
[el5_ga_base]
[el5_u1_base]
[el5_u2_base]
[el5_u3_base]
[el5_u4_base]
[el5_u5_base]but also "ol" sections and "ol - UEK" sections:
[ol5_u5_base]
[ol5_u6_base]
[ol5_u7_base]
[ol5_u8_base]
[el5_addons]
[el5_oracle_addons]
[ol5_UEK_latest]
[ol5_UEK_base]
[el5_unsupported]I'm guessing that since "Oracle Enterprise Linux" is now simply "Oracle Linux", I should be using one of the "ol5" sections, and probably the 'ol5_UEK_latest'. Here's what I have actually installed for an OS:
[root@vblnxsrv01 yum.repos.d]# uname -a
Linux vblnxsrv01.vbdomain 2.6.32-200.13.1.el5uek #1 SMP Wed Jul 27 21:02:33 EDT 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxCan anyone clarify how these fit together, or point me to documentation to do so?
thanks.

I could really vent, but I dont' want to come off sounding like some of the vistors to the db forum that complain because Oracle isn't just re-badged SQL Server. But every step has been a struggle for what appears to me to be no good reason. When I first started building personal test systems with VMware, I'd never built a *nix system for myself, and had a lot to learn. But I pretty well had it down in a weekend. This struggle with VBox has been much more difficult.

OUI doesn't start!!!

Hi
I'm trying to install Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows Server 2003.
When I run the setup.exe file, the Oracle Universal Installer runs in a command window, then it starts to check the installer requirements, and all requirements are passed. I get the message "All installer requirements met.".
After that, it displays the message "Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from %TEMP%\OraInstallTimeStamp. Please wait ..."
Then this window is closed and the Java OUI doesn't start.
I had tried to install on a machine with Windows 2003 and another one with Windows 2000, and the installation started in both cases.
Please I want to know, what could block the OUI and prevent it to start?

That's it.
I was installing from a long-path location with spaces. And when I strated the installation from a short-path location and remove all spaces of the path, the OUI started the installation.
Thank you for reply.

Mac OS X 10.4.8 doesn't start after upgrade to 10.4.10

Hi everybody!
I've upgraded my Mac OS X 10.4.8 to 10.4.10 and after restart it doesn't start anymore I also have BootCamp installed and Windows boots now even if I choose to start Mac OS. I've tried boot it in safe and verbose mode but computer boots Windows instead (
How could I run Mac OS? Maybe it's possible to return to the "before update" state?
Thanks in advance!

To return to the before state you need to boot from your Tiger installer disk. Run Disk Utilities and Repair Disk. Then choose to do an Archive & Install.

Final Cut doesn´t start

Hi:
I´ve recently purchased Final Cut Studio (FC Pro-7-0). So I´m new in this matter. After installing the product in my I-Mac, I created a Project and captured some miniDV tapes and even started editing a little bit. It seemed to be working perfectly, but today I can´t open FC. The message below appears on screen:
External A/V
Unable to locate the following external devices:
Apple Firewire PAL (720 x 576)
Your system configuration may have changed, or your deck/camera may be disconnected or turned off.
Please, check your connections and click “Check again”, or click “Continue” to set external devices to None.
If I click "Check again" I get to the same point and if I click "Continue" the FC icon dissappears and the software doesn´t start.
Do you know how to solve this inconvinience? Thanks a lot.

Deleting FCP Preferences:
Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
Move the files "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up.

How to run application on comp. with only jre installed?

Hi guys! I've written an application and somebody wants to use it. I have an applet too but it does not have full functionality and slower.
I am running applications from my desktop using shortcut on javaw.exe file located in jdk/bin folder. No problem with it.
But if person does not want to instsall jdk? I know that jre has javaw.exe in its bin but it does not work that way.
My question is: how to run application for domestic use without all this web start hassle and with only jre installed? Is it possible? If yes, how to do this?
Regards

Download the JRE redistributable from Sun. It is self installing and will allow the user to run your app using a regular shortcut to javaw.exe.

Network issues with Leopard fresh install

I have an iBook that I was running Leopard on with no issues yesterday. It is no longer my main computer, so I wanted to wipe everything and start from scratch with a fresh install of Leopard. The install went smoothly. I did an Erase & Install setup from a Leopard Upgrade disc (but already had Leopard on my system so upgrade verified OK). When I booted up for the first time, it appeared everything was working normally.
I went online, downloaded a couple pieces of software I frequently use, and then started to set things up. This is when I ran into issues. I could browse the web without a problem. I could set up email with POP access, but not IMAP. AIM with Adium connects just fine. Tweetie won't connect. Dropbox won't connect. It's like some ports are being blocked, but others aren't, and I can't figure out why.
I have tried/verified:
OSX firewall is off
Restarted router/cable several times
iBook is in router's DMZ- outside of router firewall
Repaired permissions
Reset PRAM
Anyone have any suggestions or other troubleshooting ideas?

Here are the steps to selling*:
http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
Mac Pros that shipped with Leopard should install from the Mac Pro labelled discs. Those that came with pre-Leopard, you should still include the Mac Pro discs, though if you desire to install Leopard on them, you should also include the Leopard discs that are retail. Leopard retail looks like * and do not say Upgrade, DropIn, or OEM.
