According to these pages it might be possible, but so far my changes seem to be ignored. Is it even possible, and if so how?

No - and if I did, I changed it back. The rotation doesn't even happen between my account and the login screen. I can verify the resolution/ refresh are the same, and I've tried multiple bit depths - still no rotating cube effect. -Conrad -- Eternal vigilance is the price of prosperity.

These files are owned by all the syste users, so scanning them as root would be much more convinient. When I issue a simple command such as # clamscan -l /var/log/clamscan.log -r /Volumes/RAID/ I get an error stating : ERROR: Can't get information about user 0 This is problematic as I really need to scan this volume as root user (because of multiple permission on the directories scanned). I am using OpenDirectory with LDAP. If this could help? ? But I have seen that user root is both in Local Netinfo DB & on the LDAP directory.

Have you repaired permissions? Often the Server Admin files and modules get munged. >May! what did I break here? I can manually start/stop Apache from >the command line and everything is fine. Ah, then this isn't a web server problem but a Server Admin problem like I suspected. Again, try repairing permissions and/or make sure the module for the web in Server Admin is OK. > All the virtual hosts are reachable and everything looks good.

Downloaded disk images (.dmg files) fail to verify; the error message in the warning alert is simply "codec overrun". This happens regardless of the browser used for the download. The same problem is present when curl is used for the download. (Locally created .dmg images are OK.) A (possibly related) problem is that, again regardless of the browser, downloaded movies fail to complete. It appears that the problem is related somehow to network download but I have no idea where to look for a fix. thanks, --dick peskin ____________________________________ Richard L.

No, it did not become lame - things are much weirder, but I cold fix things. So let me tell you, what really happened: When I was going to run my little experiments with Tomcat I realised that I needed version 5+ of Tomcat but Tiger Server is on version 4.1. So I simply downloaded the V5 distro and put that into /Libraray/ Tomcat on the server after renaming the original Tomact to Tomcat_41. Created a symlink to v5. When I started Tomcat from the ServerAdmin.app it came up nicely and worked as advertised. After my little experiments (for which i had not much time, thus I did not go further after having verified that things worked) I shut down Tomcat from ServerAdmin.app. Well, that was it then - the Web-part of ServerAdmin did not work anymore. Many experiments later (including reinstalling the latest combo update in the hope it would fix corrupt server admin stuff) I had the idea to try out the command line serveradmin. Immediately I got a Cocoa exception. Now I was off to fs_usage and all the Apache config files showed up as being read. One of the last files in the output of fs_usage was a file in the / Library/Tomcat directory tree. This was the indication I needed. After restoring the symlink /Library/Tomcat to the version 4 variant ServerAdmin.app is up and running again. Here is the transcript from the command line: g4server_ROOT> ln -s /Library/Tomcat-5.5.20 /Library/Tomcat g4server_ROOT> serveradmin status web 2007-01-19 21:55:48.114 serveradmin[1697] Exception in doCommand: *** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value web:error = "NIL_RESPONSE_ERR (*** -[NSCFDictionary setObject:forKey:]: attempt to insert nil value)" g4server_ROOT> rm /Library/Tomcat g4server_ROOT> ln -s /Library/Tomcat_41 /Library/Tomcat g4server_ROOT> serveradmin status web web:state = "RUNNING" g4server_ROOT> and the relevant line from fs_usage output 17:44:51.970 open [ 2] /Library/ Tomcat-5.5.20/blojsom_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/ bootstrap>>>>>>>>>> 0.000177 serveradmin Due to time constraints I did not investigate further but I am happy that everything is fine again. ---markus--- Don't miss my latest project at http://blindpromo.com Markus Ruggiero rucotec consulting and technologies email mailto:markus.ruggiero@rucotec.ch rucotec GmbH web http://www.rucotec.ch Steinentorstrasse 8 4051 Basel Mobile +41 (0)79 508 4701 Switzerland Phone/Fax +41 (0)61 271 4990 From rpeskin at rlpcon.com Fri Jan 19 21:40:15 2007 From: rpeskin at rlpcon.com (Richard Peskin) Date: Fri Jan 19 21:40:37 2007 Subject: checksum problem with downloaded disk images In-Reply-To: <923269.14922.qm@web33313.mail.mud.yahoo.com> References: <923269.14922.qm@web33313.mail.mud.yahoo.com> Message-ID: As I expected, the problem was some sort of kernel corruption, possibly the result of panic crash.

Sometimes if I delete it multiple times in a row while jobs are started, it appears to go away, but then comes back. This is all in the printer queue UI. It's an HP LJ1022, and it's shared. Any hints on how to find the underlying files so I can sudo rm them? -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@killerbytes.com http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice From scott_ribe at killerbytes.com Tue Jan 23 12:48:51 2007 From: scott_ribe at killerbytes.com (Scott Ribe) Date: Tue Jan 23 12:48:55 2007 Subject: Undead print job In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Never mind. The Mac in question is now proceeding to totally go down the tubes. Apps semi-hung (taking no input, but able to switch windows), Finder hanging repeatedly, menubar clock stopped, after force relaunch Finder is EXTREMELY slow, but Activity Monitor shows very little CPU, disk or network usage. Can't shutdown because Entourage won't quit. Can't even switch to Entourage to quit. Activity Monitor item in menu bar still highlighted 5 minutes after I quit it. Got terminal up, but sudo reboot hangs. I don't think the zombie print job is much of a problem in the big picture ;-) -- Scott Ribe scott_ribe@killerbytes.com http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice From scott_ribe at killerbytes.com Tue Jan 23 14:09:26 2007 From: scott_ribe at killerbytes.com (Scott Ribe) Date: Tue Jan 23 14:09:43 2007 Subject: Undead print job In-Reply-To: <5ECEC9C8-F595-4D37-8AF2-61529E71DE13@gmail.com> Message-ID: > i've seen this sort of thing happen when a hard drive was about to > crater...

Thanks for the tip.

I'm sure there is an underlying file/files somewhere but even deleting files in the spool directories doesn't seem to help.. cheers Michael From u.hoffmann at tt-pixelmind.com Fri Jan 26 01:31:19 2007 From: u.hoffmann at tt-pixelmind.com (Ute Hoffmann) Date: Fri Jan 26 02:20:27 2007 Subject: Fwd: Lost Emails after crash Message-ID: Anfang der weitergeleiteten E-Mail: > Von: Ute Hoffmann > Datum: Fr, 26.

Look in ~/Library/Mail. Your inbox folder will be named 'INBOX.mbox' and will be found inside a folder named according to the account type and account name (perhaps something like 'POP-hoffman.ute@t-online.de'). The actual messages are in a folder named 'Messages' inside 'INBOX.mbox'. If your emails are there, I'd suggest making a copy of the 'Messages' folder (somewhere outside ~Library/Mail -- just in case). Then try recreating the account to see if your emails are magically returned to you. If not, I *think* you can just copy all the messages from your just-in-case copy, and paste them into your inbox. Lemme know if it works ;-) Either way, perhaps now is a good time to look into backup schemes... God luck!

The crash stack has routine ServerSerialNumStr_Validate_Internal as the culprit. Is this a case of a corrupted file, perhaps?
