X fails with 'can't move xfree86.0.log.old' [FXx]

Hello,
I already tried to find this topic on the forums but couldn't see it - so sorry if it's been discussed before.
I recompiled the kernel26 package, and installed the latest nvidia driver and everything was working beautifully.
Suddenly this morning when I startx as user it fails saying that it can't move xfree86.0.log.old. I changed some permissions in /var/log then it started to fail with 'can't open xfree86.0.log' instead.
I have no idea why this is happening, considering it was perfectly fine yesterday!!
If anyone has any advice I'd be very grateful...
(why is the log important anyway??I wouldn't have thought it has any bearing on whether x starts or not)

Thanks for the reply - still not working, tho. Removed the xfree86 logs, now when I startx as user I get
Fatal Server error:
Cannot open /var/log/XFree86.0.log
I can startx as root, so maybe it's a permissions thing. I'm totally mystified about this...
this is my /var/log...

When I startx as root it's creating another log file with root permissions...maybe that is part of the problem. Any ideas??

IMovie 11 event rename fails with "Can't Move error" -5000

I finally found the answer to this but thought I'd post in case anyone else saw this and could not work it out.
I tried to rename an Event but the rename failed with this error
Move Failed:
This file could not be moved:
/Volumes/Data/iMovie Events.localized/Lib
(-5000)
I was not tryign to move anythign , jsut change the name from within iMovie events library.
It turns out it was a permissions issue.
The event had been created whiel logged in as the other user on the machine and we use a common 'Input data HDD'...
Filling up quick...just got two new 4GB HDD's on the way

Just to be clear, I followed the instructions at the link below to try and move the events to an external drive. The external drive is formatted per Apple's recommendation and is connected via Firewire:

Mx.services.WebService() fails with Can't Find Method in Service

When I test in debug mode, my webservices fail with can't
find method or can't find URL. When I test on the very same
webservice with the SWF file embedded in an HTML file, it all works
fine!
This all worked before I updated to Windows Vista last week!
Any ideas? How can I troubleshoot this?? (I'm using a
mx.services.Log when running in Debug)
TIA,

Scoket connect fails with: Can't assign requested address

Hi All,
I am running Java on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Intel). I run the following code:
for (i=0; i<20000; i++) {
     java.net.Socket socket = new java.net.Socket();
     socket.connect(new java.net.InetSocketAddress("localhost", 80));
     socket.close();
After about 16380 local TCP connections, connect is failing with the error message "Can't assign requested address".
After waiting for a while, I can connect again.
It looks like Java is consuming all client-side TCP ports. When the error occurs, I also start to have problems connecting from my browser to any Web-page.
Am I having to wait for the garbage collector to free the ports, or is this an OS X problem?
Any help or ideas would be welcome.
Thanks,
Paul

It looks like Java is consuming all client-side TCP
ports. When the error occurs, I also start to have
problems connecting from my browser to any Web-page.I would take this as an indication, that the problem is on the server side and the web server might keep some resources after the client disconnects from the socket. You could verify that if you run your test program from another computer after the error occurs. If that program is again able to open connections, then this might indicate that the problem is in fact on the client side. However if also access from another machine is blocked, then I would guess it is a server side problem.
Am I having to wait for the garbage collector to free
the ports, or is this an OS X problem?Garbage collection is not an issue here.

CryptAcquireContext failing with ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2L) when user not logged on Windows 8.1

I am having a hard time migrating a C++ CryptoAPI-based application that currently runs on Windows Server 2008 to Windows 8.1. The scenario is:
This application is eventually triggered by WatchDog.exe, which in its turn is triggered when the computer is started by Windows' Task Scheduler.
Task Scheduler uses the following rules to start the WatchDog.exe:
A Administrator User Account;
Run Whether user is logged on or not;
UNCHECKED: Do not store password. The task will only have access to local resources;
Run with Highest Privileges;
Configure for Win 8.1;
Triggered at system startup.
The server sits there, nobody logged, until in a given scenario WatchDog.exe starts the application. Application log confirms that the owner of the process (GetUserName)
is the very same user Task Scheduler used to trigger WatchDog.exe.
It turns out that this application works fine in Windows Server 2008, but in windows 8.1 a call to CryptAcquireContext fails
with return code ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2L). The odd thing is that the application will NOT fail if, when started, the user is physically logged
on the machine, although it was not the user who started the application manually.
I took a look at the documentation and
found:
"The profile of the user is not loaded and cannot be found. This happens when the application impersonates a user, for example, the IUSR_ComputerName account."
I had never heard of impersonification, so I made a research and found the APIs LogonUser,ImpersonateLoggedOnUser and RevertToSelf.
I then updated the application in this way:
HANDLE hToken;
if (! LogonUser(L"admin", L".", L"XXXXXXXX", LOGON32_LOGON_BATCH, LOGON32_PROVIDER_DEFAULT, &hToken))
logger->log (_T("Error logging on."));
else
logger->log (PMLOG_LEVEL_TRACE, _T("Logged on."));
if (! ImpersonateLoggedOnUser(hToken))
logger->log (_T("Error impersonating."));
else
logger->log (_T("Impersonated."));
err = XXXXXXXXX(); // calls function which will execute CryptAcquireContext
if (! RevertToSelf())
logger->log (_T("Error reverting."));
else
logger->log (_T("Reverted."));
Excerpt with the call to CryptAcquireContext:
// Get the handle to the default provider.
if(! CryptAcquireContext(&hCryptProv, cryptContainerName, MS_ENHANCED_PROV, PROV_RSA_FULL, 0))
DWORD e = GetLastError();
_stprintf_s (logMsg, 1000, _T("Error %ld acquiring cryptographic provider."), e);
cRSALogger->log (logMsg);
return ERR_CCRYPT_NO_KEY_CONTAINER;
cRSALogger->log (_T("Cryptographic provider acquired."));
As the result, I got the log:
[2015/01/08 20:53:25-TRACE] Logged on.
[2015/01/08 20:53:25-TRACE] Impersonated.
[2015/01/08 20:53:26-ERROR] Error 2 acquiring cryptographic provider.
[2015/01/08 20:53:26-TRACE] Reverted.
That seems to show that impersonation is working properly, but still I get Error 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) on CryptAcquireContext.
Summary:
On Windows Server 2008, the very same application runs properly even without the calls to LogonUser/Impersonate/Revert.
On Windows 8.1, the application, with or without the calls to LogonUser/Impersonate/Revert, will only work properly if the user is logged on (which
is not acceptable).
Any thoughts where I can run to in order to get this working on windows 8.1?
Thank in advance,
Dan

There are a couple of issues.
Based on the parameters being used in CryptAcquireContext(). A profile needs to be loaded and your app has to be running as the same user who created the keyset. (which is why it works when a user is logged on Windows 8.1) Also, impersonation
does not load your user profile, you need to call LoadUserProfile(). It seems like you should be using a machine keyset for your scenario if you want to do this when nobody is logged on.
Take a look at the following KB article for more information.

LogProviders.Add fails with "not recognized as a valid log provider type." in Data Tools but not BIDS

In attempting to add standard DTS logging to a package via Data Tools, I found that my attempt to execute:
Dim provider As LogProvider = p.LogProviders.Add("DTS.LogProviderTextFile.2")
(or any other log provider type,) resulted in:
The log provider type "DTS.LogProviderTextFile.2, {0A039101-ACC1-4E06-943F-279948323883}" specified for log provider "{CC5CB9A4-E0D5-4ECD-8F4E-1E8FB9BDE8A6}" is not recognized as a valid log provider type. This error occurs when an
attempt is made to create a log provider for unknown log provider type. Verify the spelling in the log provider type name.
I created a new package with a single script task using only the example code from the MS documentation for Embedding Logging Programmatically at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms136023(v=sql.110).aspx
consisting of:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim p As Package = New Package()
Dim loggingConnection As ConnectionManager = p.Connections.Add("FILE")
loggingConnection.ConnectionString = "C:\SSISPackageLog.txt"
Dim provider As LogProvider = p.LogProviders.Add("DTS.LogProviderTextFile.2")
provider.ConfigString = loggingConnection.Name
p.LoggingOptions.SelectedLogProviders.Add(provider)
p.LoggingOptions.EventFilterKind = DTSEventFilterKind.Inclusion
p.LoggingOptions.EventFilter = New String() {"OnPreExecute", _
"OnPostExecute", "OnError", "OnWarning", "OnInformation"}
p.LoggingMode = DTSLoggingMode.Enabled
' Add tasks and other objects to the package.
End Sub
End Module
I get the same error as listed above in SQL Server 2012 Data Tools on three separate machines. On my primary dev box, where the code fails in Data Tools, running the exact same code in BIDS runs without problems.
Importing the working BIDS package into Data Tools also fails with the same error.
I have not encountered any other 2012 Data Tools issues, but logging is a core pattern that makes me worry that this is a problem that may emerge with other functions in the DTS toolset.
Thanks for any help!!

Arthur,
Great idea, I verified that the Integration Services for 2012 was not installed. I installed the new SSIS service and verified that SQL Server Integration Services 11.0 was running (previously only 10.0 was running.)
Initially, I experienced an error message trying to run my simple script above:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Core, Version=10.0.0.0,...
I followed the steps at the MS link for Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.Tools.Applications.Core’
and loaded the missing x64 runtime from edist/VSTA/runtime/x64/VSTA_RT30.msi
on the distribution media as recomended.
The script ran, but returned the error listed in the beginning of this message. I then tried:
- turning off the 10.0 service
- setting the project's Run64BitRunTime value both false and true
- changing the reference to Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\SDK\Assemblies to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS\v4.0_11.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91
all of these resulted in the same failure.
Thank you for the suggestion, I really thought it would be on target. Alas, it wasn't the fix.
It is so weird that all the other stuff I'm doing (a very elaborate programmatic package generator doing some tricky stuff,) works fine and only this super basic logging fails!!!!
Thanks again,

Can I move Photoshop from my old to my new computer?

I purchased a new computer. Can I uninstall Photoshop from my old and install it on my new computer?

you are licensed for two concurrent installations/activations so you do not have to uninstall it.
but, if you no longer have use for the previous install then, before you uninstall it, you should deactivate (help>deactivate) it.

Encoding failed with "Error Compiling Movie, Unknown Error"

Hi,
I have come across this error while encoding an NTSC STD sequence to H.264 format, NTSC STD preset. The sequence has few simple effects and titles and its lenght is approx 2min. When same sequence is encoded to FLV, the encode passes. Also, when i encode using inline AME through Export Now, the encode passes. The failure is seen when i encode this sequence using Dynamic Link.
System Configuration :
4 GB RAM, Intel I 3 processor, 64bit Win 7, nVidia CUDA card with 512 MB memory.
If any other information is required, please let me know.
Thanks,
Prateek

I forgot to mention in my original post I was able to export a microsoft avi file of the movie before I added the after effects sequences it appears the AE portions are causing the encoding errors.

Inserting XML document into XDB fails with can't convert to OPAQUE

Hi,
When I try to insert a document using oracle 9.2.0.5 client software into a 9.2.0.5 database, with the following code:
void insertDocument(String document) {
XMLType xt = XMLType.createXML(connection, document);
PreparedStatement ps = connection.prepareStatement("insert into xmldocuments values(?)");
ps.setObject(1, xt);
ps.executeUpdate();
The setObject function always throws an exception (after a very long time) with:
java.sql.SQLException: Fail to convert to internal representation: OPAQUE()
This also fails when we use the InputStream and org.w3c.xml.Document variants.
We use the OCI driver, otherwise we get errors retrieving the documents from XMLDB.
What is going wrong here?

David,
If you search through the historical data in this list there are previous post regarding opaque.
These may be useful. Possibly your reaching the size limit.

Check Event Alert failed with error - No errors in the log file.

Hi All,
I am developing a simple event based alert on PO_HEADERS table. I want to send alerts when a PO is created.
I did all the steps according to the metalink note How To Send An Email In A Simple Periodic Or Event Alert? [ID 1162153.1]
When i create the PO, the alert is triggering, and Check Event Alert concurrent program is running. But the program completes with error.
Checking the output file (empty) log file (no errors)
What can i do here to find out what is the problem? There is nothing in the Alert Manager - History form also. I have kept 7 days as days to keep.
Thanks!
M

Can you find any details about the error from the "View Detail" button (the same window where you check the log and output files)?
I found the Workflow logs, I am not sure what I am looking for, but i am not seeing any errors reported.The event viewer is supposed to send an email, so do you see anything in the logs that could be related?
Thanks,
Hussein

Can I move storage purchased under old MobileMe account to my AppleID account?

Can I transfer the extra storage purchased on my old MobileMe account to my AppleID account (which is my primary account for iCloud)? If not, can I get a refund for the MobileMe storage to use toward my AppleID account?

This can't be done: and you aren't due for a refund because your MobileMe account was extended for free from the date of its last renewal coming due up to the service closing in July, so you haven't been paying for it.
As an ex-MobileMe user your migrated iCloud account (signed into with your ex-MobileMe address) storage has been extended by 20GB for free but only until the end of September - at that time it will revert to 5GB unless you purchase additional storage.

Can i move my itunes from old laptop to mac using my ipad??

I recently purchased an imac and want to move my itunes to the mac but am having trouble. Since my iPad has everything that my Itunes account has I was hoping to simpy sync it with the iMac. From what I have learned it doesn't appear to be that easy.
I followed the steps to use and external drive but get an error message when trying to access that drive from itunes.
Should I uninstall itunes on the imac and reinstall??

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. You would use your backup copy to move everything.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipad. The exception is itunes purchases. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

How fix this issue?

What can you say about error TcCtx. TransactionContext Object was not found in registry
I know answer!!!
If somebody get this error you need:
Open ToCtx. TransactionContext properties
Find CLSID value (in this case {7999FC25-D3C6-11CF-ACAB-00A024A55AEF})
Export registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{7999FC25-D3C6-11CF-ACAB-00A024A55AEF} from healthy machine
Import this key to unhealthy machine. And problem will gone.
