X user issues[SOLVED]

After many hours of work, I have finally managed to get X working on my Arch install, and got it working with GNOME, and even (finally) got the trackpad and keyboard to work. in Root.
Now, finally satisfied with all i managed to get accomplished, I set out to set up a user account (#adduser joe) After logging into this user account, I find that #startx doesn't start up...
I know I'm probably just missing something stupid, but im exhausted from getting everything else working... so any ideas what could be wrong?

Perhaps putting in your own ~/.xinitrc will work as expected. You might be able to get away with just making it and putting
exec gnome-session
in there and trying again. The recommended route though is to copy the skeleton file /etc/skel/.xinitrc and edit accordingly. Also be sure you are in the correct groups.
I am in (trimmed for overkill):
(first and foremost, "users" group.. then..)
disk lp mem kmem wheel log games network video audio optical floppy storage power policykit
All of the above might not exist for you, but if the xinitrc doesn't help, it couldn't hurt to add yourself.

OTA Update 4.08.605.2 "Rebooting Now..." Issue - SOLVED!

After so many tries and frustration I finally came across the information below and it worked like a charm
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible/134246-second-gb-update-patch-wont-reboot-issue-solved.html
Can't say this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
Boot into recovery
Press and hold Power, Choose "Restart" option
When screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power
When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
Select "Reboot system now"
You can now wait for the update to show up again, or try one of the methods in the post: For those who want the second GB update/patch to get the update again. It should reboot this time. Beware, it will stay at the Droid Eye screen after reboot for a while (~5 mins), but eventually, it did get installed. Be sure to make a lot of space for it though...

The restart option that AmDroid is talking about is not on the regular phone menu. Please read his post carefully. What he is talking about is in an advanced recovery based menu option.
Also, I was on 2.2 and the clear cache set date and time forward trick did not work for me to get the udpate. The clear cache and set date and time forward trick seems to mostly work if you are already on 4.06 software version and want to get the 4.08 software version.
For those on 2.2, patience is warranted! However, if you really cant wait and want to go the 4.06 update manually, you can search Android Forums dot com for manually install gingerbread. And don't worry about the article talking about being rooted. You dont need to be rooted. The instructions will work for a stock phone too. As soon as you do the manual 4.06, the 4.08 update will show up immediately.
Hope this helps!

Bridge CC performance issue - SOLVED

I am running Photoshop CC, which includes Bridge, on a new Windows 8.1 computer. Everything, except Bridge, is lightening fast
Bridge CC would take up to 5 seconds to respond to a click on a menu item and 10 seconds to respond to a right mouse click on a thumbnail. I contacted Adobe 4 times and had 4 different answers from them: none of which worked.
So, come on Adobe. It is nothing to do with the size of the cache, the ABDATA file, the other links regarding Bridge freezing you sent me. Yes, a new user account solves the problem as well, but who wants to run Photoshop as a different user?
Running Bridge CC in Vista compatibility mode completely solved the problem. It is now as fast as everything else on my machine.

Hi,
not sure if this was addressed because without a bug number its hard to track what has changed since then. We have customers deploying ADF JClient with remote BC and they have reasonable performance. Steve Muench wrote a whitepaper about JClient performance and best practices which is available on OTN.

Dynamically Identifying user issuing SQL statement

Client wants to provide security to certain data by first capturing the identity of every user issuing a SQL statement, then, based on the user and a security table, allow access to certain data. Is this doable? TIA...

Oracle has a whole product centered around this called "Label Seurity", which I'm guessing may be too much for your needs. Check out this marking shag for info about "virtual private databases" http://technet.oracle.com/deploy/security/oracle8i/pdf/vpd_wp6.pdf
Basically, the idea is that the "old school", but still perfecly fine, way to do it is to create views for each group of users and grant permissions to the views for the appropriate users. Optionally using synomyms into their schemas to give users the same name for the different views.
The virtual private database and similar stuff is hard to explain. I think of it as the db engine auto-adding a where clause to each sql statement based upon who you are. If that makes any sense.
I've tried this a couple of different ways, but have yet to hit upon one that seems easy & generally applicable.
Good Luck -d

Multi-User Issues

I've taken over development of a Vs2003(vB)/MsSql2000 application which usually runs in on a Windows 2000 server with multiple workstations running the application simultaneously in Remote Desktop Sessions.
The central user interface element of the application is an un-databound grid (actually a farpoint spreadsheet) which displays sql table rows that are accessable from every workstation. The grid refreshes its content whenever a specific subroutine is called. That subroutine performs a query which loads its results into a collection which is then loaded into the grid. The subroutine is called during startup and at other times using the rather elaborate mechanism described below. Each workstation also has the ability to modify any row in the grid via a dialog-based editor. The grid itself is not setup to allow inplace editing.
The grid usually contains about 200 records and 20-50% of these records get modified (some repeatedly) every hour.
My question involves the classic multi-user issues of keeping all of the seperate workstation's grids current as individual workstations make modifications to the data.
What is Microsoft's recommended method for handling multi-user data-refresh requirements in custom applications written in VB.NET2003 with MsSQL2000?
Now that you know what I'm looking for, let me add a little more detail. The existing code handles this multi-user refresh issue in the following way...
A SQL Trigger is attached to the SQL Table's Insert/Modify and Delete events. That Trigger calls the xp_logevent built-in stored procedure to make an entry in the NT Event Log.
The application contains a subroutine to handle EventLog("Application").EntryWritten messages. That subroutine calls the subroutine (mentioned earlier) which refreshes the grid contents through a new SQL query.
In this way, whenever any workstation changes the table data, a trigger fires which makes a log entry and broadcasts an EntryWritten message into the global windows environment. The individual applications (each running in their own RDP session) hear the message and respond by refreshing their grid.
This all seems a little "rube goldberg" to me, but it has worked for many years.
That is, until we moved the SQL2000 server to a seperate machine to improve program responsiveness.
Now when the trigger is fired and the log entry is made, the EntryWritten message is broadcast into the windows environment of the dedicated SQL server where there are no applications listening for it. Meanwhile, the applications continue to run with unrefreshed data on the (now) dedicated RDP server from where the EntryWritten messages cannot be "heard".
So my question really comes down to this...
In an environment where the SQL server and the RDP server are two seperate machines, what is the best method for coordinating multi-user screen refreshes across seperate applications running in distinct RDP Client sessions?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Peace,

Color Management Issues Solved in LR 1.1?

Long tempted to switch from Elements 5.0 to LR (or to integrate the two), I have held off because I've read on this forum dozens, probably hundreds, of complaints about LR 1.0 and color management. Some of these questions were clearly from ignorance, I know (such as not understanding the difference between the color space used by monitors and that used by printers). But many other were from sophisticated users all of whom began their comments or questions with "Works perfectly in Photoshop, but in LR ..." See, for example, http://adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc41850/39 , which describes difficulty in getting LR to produce acceptable prints. To my mind, LR 1.0 had color management problems even if the highest end users managed to work around them. I don't want to buy into problems, not being a sophisticated user yet myself. So here is my queston: Does LR 1.1 solve these problems? That is, does LR 1.1 work as easily, or almost as easily, as Photoshop (say with the HP b9180, which has a PS plugin)? Thanks in advance.

The problem is that lightroom is somehow throwing the default profile that is set in colorsync into the mix. Which is something that Photoshop is not doing. So any printer profiles built by printing a target with PS is not going to be accurate when printed through Lightroom unless the default profile for you printer is Generic RGB Profile or something close.
Here is what I have posted elsewhere about my discovery of this issue.
I discovered something today that just might be the answer to the color printing problems from Lightroom.
First of all, all prints from PS and Lightroom was done with the same color management workflow with the profiles set in the application and color management turned off in the printer driver. This was to a Canon iPF9000.
Started when I tried to print from a new MacPro with Lightroom. Colors were not right.
Went to the G5 and printed from lightroom same file same settings same profile, color was correct.
Printed same file same setting same profile from PS on the MacPro. Color was correct.
So started printing and saving as PDF from the print dialog. Open the PDF files in Acrobat and checking embedded profile with Pitstop.
Here are the results.
Lightroom on Macpro: iPF9000 Paper profile. This was much darker with way to much yellow.
Photoshop of Macpro: Generic RGB
Lightroom on G5: sRGB v1.20 (Canon)
I had uninstall the sRGB v1.20 (Canon) profile from the colorsync folder on the MacPro. Added sRGB v1.20 (Canon) back in and guess what. sRGB v1.20 (Canon) in the PDF now generated from Lightroom. Print to the printer from Lightroom on the MacPro and it now printed correct.
Now got to thinking were does Lightroom get this (sRGB v1.20 (Canon) profile from. So checked in the Colorsync utility to see what the default profile for the iPF9000 is and sure enough it was sRGB v1.20 (Canon). Ok so what happens if I change the default profile in the Colorsync utility to Adobe RGB. Now guess what the Lightroom generated PDF now shows Adobe RGB as the embedded profile.
PS printed to PDF showed Generic RGB profile no matter what I set as the default profile in the Colorsync Utility.
Clearly Lightroom behaves differently when printing when a different default profile is selected for a printer. On Windows this could be the same as one can set in the printer properties (at least for the iPF9000) the default profile to automatic or set a different default profile manually.
This raises an interesting question as to what is really going on with print files set to a printer. Especially printers with much larger gamuts than sRGB.
Could this be the source of the strange Lightroom printing problems?
I do know when I have tried to make a profile from a printed target in LR I could not get accurate color. But the profile generated for a target printed in PS works fine in LR.

Modem issues solved with 10.4.8?

Hi all,
As the Apple USB modem users know, there was a serious issue with the IOUSB kernel in 10.4.7 that made the external Apple modem very unreliable. This issue was solved by downgrading that kernel to the 10.4.5 version. I've not done the 10.4.8 upgrade (mostly cause my MB is at the shop for RSD) but I don't want to mess with a perfectly working modem right now. Does anyone has tried the upgrade and found that the modem is working allright?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for this insight. I had the same symptoms as yours after installing 10.4.7. I couldn't maintain a connection.
My left USB port was malfunctoning. Apple's advice was to use the right one and wait for an update for this known issue. I did so for some weeks with relative success.
It seems that there is more than one way to lose a connection.
Just yesterday I experienced a panic, a disabling bout of conection failures and then "power management" problems. Those were resolved for the moment by reseting the power management and PRAM. 3 times.
Today I have developed a previously unknown to me "known issue" - booting to a gray screen. Video fails to mount? The PRAM must be reset at every start up.
Apple's advice is to upgrade to 10.4.8. I am trepidatious and hungry for reports from others with any of my sympoms and their experiences with 10.4.8.

Managed System Configuration Super User Issue

Hi folks ,
I have a strange error in Solman SP8 Managed System Config .
In Step 5 : "Enter System Parameters" , for entering super user , it throws an error even though the user credentials are valid.
This happens for some of the managed systems only . The error says : " Issue with connection to system <SID> <Client>".
It does not seem to be using the right RFC and I feel it is checking for the user in 000 client , regardless of which client we give . Because if we give 000 credentials it works.
Please help . As without this I cannot save any of the system parameters like Load Balancer URL etc.
Thanks,
Shaswat

I have seen this exact issue when my IE cached the page and was stuck with the client 000 RFC's selected on step 3. I just exit managed sys config and clear my cache and start solman_setup again. To avoid this all together I set my IE to check for newer versions of stored pages every time I visit page. (under internet options -> general -> browsing history -> tempory internet files)
Then
In step 3 create the user to avoid security issues or auditor problems later on. This way the SM_ADMIN_XXX will have the proper roles required. Please note (The user is not authorized to use a Trusted RFC (authorization object S_RFCACL). To authorize the user, assign the role SAP_SM_S_RFCACL manually).
Confirm there is no error and hit next. For an explicit save.
Now go to step 5 and select the client that the RFC's were created on and hit test credentials.
This should solve your issue.

Error -50 + HDD issues [Solved]

Hello!
I want to share some issues that I've had with my Macbook pro, which I've now solved, and I hope it can help others experiencing the same issue. Alright, first an overview of my problem (you can read the summary at the end of the text to skip the details):
Problem History:
I have a Macbook pro medio 2009 15", 2,53 gb HDD. My Macbook worked just fine until about 4 months ago. While working on my mac, suddenly I could'nt delete or download any files and an "error: -50" showed up. Then, I rebooted my mac and several things happened. In the first 5 or so reboots I could log into my account but the -50 error was still there - meaning I couldn't use "finder" properly and basically no applications. Then, after a while, my mac couldn't start up - it showed only a white screen loading and never moved on. So, I put the mac into recovery mode, which worked after several times and diagnosed my harddisk drive and the diagnosis showed a normal functioning harddisk. I wasn't able to run a hardware test for unclear reasons. After several tries, I installed Mountain Lion OSX (had Lion before) through the harddisk recovery mode and my mac worked fine - until 9-10 hours later where the same issues mentioned above arose anew. Now, I did not have any access to my mac at all - besides the harddisk repair mode (Don't remember the exact name of it), which was usel
Now here's what I did:
1: I bought a new Harddisk drive and replaced it - that didn't work out!
2: I bought an external harddisk drive connector. Meaning, my internal harddisk worked as an external harddrive and I ran my OS through USB. I booted my mac holding "option" until it showed the harddrive. And it worked! - Although my mac became slower.
3: Even though my mac worked fine now - it was annoying having to carry an external drive all the time and holding the option button every time etc. etc. So, I figured that the problem is either with the logic board or the harddisk connecting cable. The logic board is the last thing one must rule out - because if it is faulty - you're kind of screwed. So, I went ahead and ordered a connecting cable (approximately 60$). The cable was faulty and didn't work! I returned it and got a new one instead (same company and same quality) - and now my mac is working again!!!
Summary:
1. Had error -50 and harddrive issues; couldn't delete, download or even use any apps or files.
2. Mac wouldn't start up.
3. Tried disk repair + fresh OSX install. Did'nt work
4. Replaced harddisk - didn't work.
5. Replaced Harddisk connecting cable: PROBLEM SOLVED!
A piece of advice:
If you have any problems, then try to test one thing at a time. Run a hardware test from apple or other sources. Have an expert checking your mac - it might cost a little but it's worth it if you find out what the problem is. Buy quality parts for your mac if you have the money (I bought a cheap connecting cable :/ ).
And lastly: I hope this was helpful to other mac users!
Have a great day/evening/night!
- MS

THANK YOU. Saved me a few hours, this did.
This is stil not fixed in the latest iTunes, MobileSync, or iOS 6. Whichever piece has the problem is still badly broken, and in this age of 64 GB flash drives in MacBook Air models, surely we're not the only two that have moved that monstrous folder out to an external drive....

Front row in Lion 10.7 issue (-70012) and video_ts not playing issue -solved

Hi all,
thought I just post my solution to the front row issues in 10.7. I looked for a solution for days, and when I found it, I thought it would make other peoples live easier if I combine everything in one post.
I actually had a couple of issues:
PROBLEM:
first front row stopped playing VIDEO_TS files in 10.6.
the second issue occurred when I thought upgrading to 10.7 would solve the issue; Front row still couldn't play the VIDEO_TS, because FRONT ROW was gone...
SYMPTOMS:
both issues always showed the same symptoms:
when a dvd-back folder was selected, front row would show a black screen, and then, caused by my frantic pushing the ESC button, front row would give me the dvd player not valid -70012 error.
CAUSE:
so what happened? I chose to buy my MBP 17" with the smallest HDD (yep sorry, was cheap-s-ing). Then later that year, I decided to buy the HDD caddy and switch my internal superdrive for a SSD. I ended up placing the original HDD in the hdd caddy, which I then put in the Superdrive's slot, and I placed the SSD in the slot where the original HDD was residing first. I now had a MBP 17" late 2011, with vertex3 SSD. I forgot, I also put in 16 GB, replacing the 8 GB.
So, when I back-upped all my favorite DVDs as VIDEO_TS files, (no I did not download dvds through usenet), grabbed the popcorn, and started Front Row, the disappointment began. No VIDEO_TS file would play, always the same -70012 error message. So after a lot of internet research I stumbled upon a guy who said: yeah, you have to upgrade to 10.7. After the upgrade my FRONT ROW was gone.
SOLUTIONS:
In 10.6:
As Apple's DVD player is always looking for the internal dvd player as a prerequisite to start, Front Row, which uses Apple's DVD player as video player, will throw up the -70012 error. 'Cause it finds the HDD in the HDD Caddy instead of the SuperDrive. So in 10.6 (and in 10.7 also) you can use the following solution:
(I got this solution partial from http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20070591-263.html)
1: modify the DVDPlayback framework that the DVD Player uses so that it will recognize external drive as a valid DVD playback device. (The HDD Caddy came with an external casing for the SuperDrive)
2: download a hex editor (I used Hexedit 220 from http://hexedit.sourceforge.net/ )
3: Go to the folder /System/Library/Frameworks/ and back up the file "DVDPlayback.framework."
4: Open Hexedit_220 and use it to open the following file:/System/Library/Frameworks/DVDPlayback.framework/Versions/A/DVDPlayback.
5: Using the editor's find&replace through COMMAND-F, replace "Internal" with the text "External" and save the file. Note that Hexedit also saves a backup automatically.
6: Close the file once saved, and then run a permissions fix on the boot drive using Disk Utility. Then restart the system and you should now be able to play DVDs off the external drive using DVD Player. That is, If you use an external dvd player (which I don't use).
7: I inserted a very small USB stick in the MBP with no data on it, and Front Row and Apple DVD Player accepted this. I could now play my backupped DVDs.
ofcourse, I still wanted to upgrade to 10.7, so here's the solution to 10.7
10.7:
upgrading was a simple click with the mouse, worked like a charm, Office still worked, and some minor updates installed through software.
Front Row however, gone...
I used the steps outlined in http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/21/front-row-for-mac-os-x-lion/ to get Front Row back:
- first get the package from Madhatter: Download the free package installer by MacHatter
- install, or customize the install
- all done.
Then I used the steps from step 3 through 7 outlined above in solution 10.6.
Catch:
So I did not find a solution to fooling the DVD Player / Front Row with the USB stick. So everytime I watch VIDEO_TS in Front Row the USB stick must be inserted. But, the good news, I can still use my remote control for something.
Hope I helped some guys out there with this solution.
Regards,
Johnno

The issue has previously hit Apple TV owners. I think people came to the conclusion that it was a HDMI handshake problem. Basically the process where the device and TV greet each other, make up some rules about communicationg and what their secret key is and so on.
I haven't tried this yet, but my local service center says that basically I can do one of two things:
- Downgrade to 10.7 and then download the 10.7.1 update from Apples website. To do this without having a Mac OS X Lion disc, you can hold down CMD + R when the computer boots to be able to access the recovery partition on newer Macs that come without the OS disc.
or..
- Put something in between the computer and TV. For example, if you're using an amplifier as a part of your home theather set up, this will probably work. The service guy said he has his Mini connected to the amplifier, which in turn is connected to speakers and a projector. The inverted colors still appear, but only once per night (i.e. after the first problem is reset by resetting the link then it's fine).
For now, I'll do my little dance of changing the source on the TV from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 and then back again to reset the link... But, I'll probably try downgrading in a few days.

Issues solved after a second install of Belle

Hi.
I have been advised to reinstall Belle on my Nokia E7.
I've been told that after a second install of Belle most issues are gone.
Do you know what specific issues are solved after that reinstall?
I'm curious because I want to know if it is worthy to reinstall Belle.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Greetings from Paraguay.
Claudio Bogado Pompa.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Claudio,
I upgraded from Anna to Belle on the first day that Belle was available. Yesterday I re-installed Belle.
Since updating my E7 from Anna to Belle I have had mixed opinions as to whether that was wise to do.
Though Belle has a lot to like about it in features and speed, there are many things that were really good in Anna but have been degraded or are even missing in Belle. See this list which many people have contributed to:
/t5/Software-Updates/List-of-Belle-additions-corrections-needed/td-p/1328167/page/3
I have customized the home screens (use three) quite a bit and have added a number of free apps for more convenience in use of the phone.
Before I tell you my experiences and give you my reasoning I should give some background about myself and my Nokia E7-00. Note that though I am very competent with computer hardware and software I have much less knowledge and skill with cell phones.
My E7-00 is my second Nokia phone experience. I also bought an E6-00 for my wife. I got the E7 for myself because I need the large keyboard for my large fingers and I like the GPS/maps capability. I got the E6 for my wife because she was unhappy with the touch screen on her Nokia 5230 and is more comfortable with a keyboard.
I have owned my E7 for less than a year, use it primarily for my small business, and upgraded to Anna immediately after purchasing it. Though I tested using a data connection for WEB browsing for a couple of months I don't subscribe to a data service now because I found little use for it and it is (in my opinion) very expensive here in Canada. I do connect my E7 to the Internet often using WIFI through my home or business routers, and occasionally through WIFI connections at hotels and other locations when I travel.
Since upgrading to Belle I have had many occasions when my phone would freeze either momentarily or permanently (necessitating powering it off) and a few times it has completely shut off for no reason. I have had a number of occasions when I have been unable to answer an incoming call because the touch screen was unresponsive.
In trying to determine the cause of the problems with the phone I have removed apps and done soft resets of the phone.
I thought about re-installing Belle but was loath to do it because of the bad experience I had when I first upgraded from Anna to Belle. At that time I did a backup of my phone using the latest version of Nokia Suite. The download and install of the Belle update went very smoothly. But once the phone was functional again I found that I lost many things including all my customizations, my WIFI settings, and all the many map favorites (GPS coordinates) I had collected when traveling and calling on customers. The backup that the Belle installation software performed did not restore these things, and the same was true of the backup I did with Nokia Suite.
Yesterday my frustration level with the phone was such that I decided I had to try a re-install of Belle. I did another backup up the phone with Nokia Suite and synced the map favorites with Nokia's on-line service. But I also had the inspiration to download the latest version of Nokia PC Suite and do a backup with that too - a good thing I did!
I used Nokia Suite to re-install Belle. After the reinstall I again had lost all my customization, some installed apps, and all map favorites. I tried to restore things by using the backup I had done with Nokia Suite, but that did not work.
Then I restored the backup I made with Nokia PC Suite and EVERYTHING was back. I could hardly believe my good fortune. Even my map favorites were back.
Since it is little more than 24 hours since my re-install of Belle I cannot say whether it was really worth the effort. But so far the phone does seem to be behaving itself. It is a little smoother in operation with less delay and I have not had any freezing. On the other hand it has been a quiet day and the phone has not had a good workout. Still, I am hopeful.
This most recent experience makes me wonder if Nokia is making improvements in Belle without giving notification. I am wondering if the version of Belle that was used for the re-install is different from the original version I installed about a month ago.
I will not upgrade my wife's E6 to Belle until I know that the problems with Belle have been fixed.
I hope you find this information useful.
