Firefox on OSX will run with sudo, but not without. Without sudo, a standard "Profile missing" error.

I recently moved to a new Macbook, and I can't get Firefox to start unless I run it with sudo.

Under osx, I looked in Users/steven/Library/Application Support/Firefox as well as the profile was there, but still does not work. I tried to remove the folder of Firefox and the .plist file, and it has always failed.

I looked at other issues of support that are similar, especially https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951989?esab=a & as = aaq - but it's bad for me operating system.

What I need now, I think, is a list of what folder locations and permissions * should * be defined on osx, because I know he'll be permissions since it works perfectly as root. If anyone of you have encountered this particular scenario before, and if yes, how do solve you this problem?

Solved!

Jscher2000 is right. Even if everything that said "steven: Editor", it wasn't very happy. It's what finally fixed it:

Yori - 20:Firefox steven$ sudo chown-r steven: staff ~/Library/
Yori - 20:Firefox steven$

After that, it loaded perfectly.

  • Z22 will be with Desktop but not Outlook hotsync? Why?

    No device

    Microsoft Outlook has added to my PC, so it would be ready for the possible purchase of the iphone - my first smartphone.  Was so excited that I was able to port over my calendar information and address book of my Palm Z22 to the new smartphone.

    uninstalled (using revouninstaller) Palm Desktop, given that I read that I must have Outlook installed clean install first and necessary to be able to change the method of hotsync from palm desktop to outlook

    Reinstalled 6.2 Palm Desktop and when I got to the screen with the choice between Palm Desktop and Outlook, I clicked on the option I wanted to sync using Outlook.

    First hotsync went to Palm Desktop and Outlook calendar left et al. empty.  ??? Why?

    Even second HotSync problem.  ??? Why?

    Impossible to find anywhere in my hotsync Manager in the office or on the Z22 where I can make changes to the hotsync...

    So now I have handy dandy new version of Palm Desktop which is (still) syncs perfectly with my z22, but doesn't help me prepare for the Iphone, because I will need my calendar/address book/notes data in Microsoft Outlook in order to transfer to the iphone (or any other smartphone also)...

    Just to remind, never had / have problems with the hotsync process, just try to change when the data is intended.

    Using Windows XP and HotSync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm Desktop 6.2 with Palm Z22

    Want to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook 2007 (a SP2 already installed)

    Help!

    I did some research on Google more and FINALLY found some instructions that actually worked!  What are eHow entry titled "How to move a calendar from a Palm Desktop for Outlook".  I did NOT find it directly from Google, but rather as something in another post that brought me kind of by chance for this post...

    Anyway, everyone should carry out this manoeuvre, here are the instructions:

    Go to the start menu and select programs.

    Move the slider to the Palm folder in the menu programs

    Click on the choice "enable the palm outlook conduits".

    Bingo!  He corrects the outlook conduits, and then you are set.

    DON'T FORGET, IF YOU ARE NEW IN OUTLOOK AND YOU WANT TO TRANSFER INFORMATION FROM YOUR PALM, YOU MUST GO INTO MANAGER HOTSYNC IN APPLICATIONS AND ALL SET TO GO THE OFFICE RATHER THAN SYNCHRONIZE POCKET.  synchronize is the default value.  This gives you all this emptiness, that is losing your data... not a good idea.

    Beware that the first synchronization of your handheld to an empty outlook may take time LOOOOONg, if your calendar years ago your Palm like mine don't...

    Now, I have everything in Outlook.

    Case solved!

  • Java Web Start application runs under jre8u40 but not jre8u51

    We have a Java web application that uses javaws. It runs very well under the update of Java 8 40, but under the update Java 8 51 jp2launcher.exe stops right, without launching the application.

    • I found the papers in C:\Users\me\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\log, but they are identical between j8u40 and j8u51 (except of course for the order of pots are loaded, the version of jre and the start time).
    • I connected the launch using Process Monitor for the two versions of jre. Under j8u51, jp2launcher.exe ends with just the result of 'SUCCESS' Comparing the two newspapers procmon, I can't choose anything unusual. They have both search in the directory C:\Users\me\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment and their respective C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_XX\lib directories and others like, but then the j8u51 there is only.
    • The Windows event logs show any what that touch of Java.
    • I managed to run the jnlp whose value "JAVAWS_VM_ARGS = - Xcheck:jni - XX: - TraceClassLoadingPreorder - XX: + PrintCommandLineFlags-verbose: jni-verbose: class - verbose: gc - XX: + PrintGCDetails-Djava.util.logging.config.file=C:\misc\logging.properties" and connect the stdout/stderr. It looks like an end to newspapers javaws and jp2launcher for versions of the output, then both jre8u40 and jre8u51. Probably in the j8u40 version it launches another jp2launcher.exe to run the application.
      • Comparing newspapers two output gives nothing interesting. Classes are loaded in almost the same order, for the most part identical classes other than the few differences that are explained easily by just be more up-to-date used classes.
    • Finally, I was able to launch the application directly, using java.exe, by getting the customer their unpacking and installing the server files. The application itself works fine in jre8u51, so the problem is definitely javaws himself.

    I find very little documentation on the inner workings of Java Web Start and no documentation at all on jp2launcher.exe. Can anyone suggest what could go wrong here, or other diagnostic measures I can take?

    e: sorry for the strange user name. I tried to change it in my profile, but the forums don't seem to accept the change.

    Hi people.

    I managed to find the solution. There are several factors that interact and I think one of them is a bug in Java Web Start.

  • I can't enter in gmail. Error "page is not redirecting properly" is displayed. I can access gmail on my phone and with IE, but not firefox.

    I tried to clear the cache and delete cookies from gmail, but none worked. I can access gmail from my phone and through IE but not firefox. I also use the gmail gadget to my igoogle page and it does not work either.

    Tried all that precedes, and nothing has worked. I don't think it would be though, it is a new installation of windows 7 with very little installed. I wasn't expecting to find any virus/malware. The only thing found was an adware but removing those does not solve the problem.

    Edit: Uninstall and reinstall firefox did not work either.
    Edit2: I initially deleted all cookies associated with google and it does not work. I went back and remove all cookies, and it works now. Sorry I don't know what cookie was the cause of the problem.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 fan running full speed but not overheating

    Hello everyone, Ihad a fear a while ago and I was freaked out. I only am not much with the material so I came to you all.

    I had absolutely nothing on except a browser and youtube. There is no intensive program or anything running in the background when all of a sudden the fan running at full power. It was extremely noisy and scary since it's my first to deal with this. I had the computer for 4 years and I have never rough with her, but a week ago I had someone try to clean, but they have managed to take off the keyboard and that's all.

    I panicked and turned it off only to turn it back on, the problem is that I don't remember the error message I thought it was 90 b and he says that the fan was not working properly

    However this site says the fan was not working or he fell from the tree, which may be the case for them, but for me it worked as hard as possible.

    What should I do?

    I was going to borrow a Tablet, so I can use internet to disassemble and clean.

    However, from time to time I spray outside with the aircan and I have the laptop on stilts, so it is triggered on an angle. I put it down for the first time today to do this.

    ANY suggestions?

    TL; Dr

    Fan worked at maximum capacity

    I think I have an error which I think has identified as 90 b and he said that the fan is not working properly

    I use a Presario CQ62

    Before hand, he worked at the same max thought that the laptop was > warm just a little hot.  AND none of the intensive programs ran

    If they are all the same part I linked will work for you. It's the radiator and fan. You can buy just the fan and replace in your radiator but if all this is so cheap, why go to the extra trouble?

  • Computer will display the text but not the graphics

    I have a computer that is running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit that will display the text, but will not be graphic print (what I get is several pages of garbled text and what looks like Morse code).

    The problem is the same with a HP Officejet Pro 6230 or an Officejet Pro 8100.

    The problem occurs if I am connected with a domain users account or the local administrator account.

    The problem occurs using the re-discovery of HP network port monitor or the standard TCP/IP port.

    Two other computers connected to the printer and also running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, you do not have the problem.

    HP printing and doctor Scan didn't find any problem and is not the problem of printer Microsoft Fixit fix anything.

    I will try to assign another driver by following the instructions at:

    but I do not know what driver to use.

    This Technet article:

    http://blogs.technet.com/b/perfguru/archive/2008/08/06/print-spooler-crash-troubleshooting-steps.aspx

    suggests that a third-party port monitor may be to blame. I tried to remove the rediscovery of HP Network Monitor, but I get an error and I can't remove it. As far as I can tell, this is the third port only installed on the computer monitor.

    I have searched this forum, but could not find a similar problem that has a solution.

    What other information should I provide?

    Thank you!

    ELSA:

    Further investigation of this issue today, I learned that probably, printing problems don't were not due to the computer or printer, but a bad pass that the computer is plugged into. I ordered a new switch, and I hope that it will be the end of my troubles. Thank you for the help that is available to you.

  • Audio works with headphones, but not the speakers

    Hello, I have a DELL XPS17.  The sound works fine with headphones, but no sound when the headphones are disconnected.

    Note that I had the opposite problem (its good speaker, but no helmet) and then updated the driver.  Once the new driver has been installed, the problem was reversed.  Very strange: Pei

    Last driver installed is Audio_RLTK_W7_A05_Setup-J3VMR_ZPE

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello. You can test your speakers by running test audio fast ePSA or PSA tests.

    You can test the audio driver by opting for the native Windows audio driver. If you get the same symptoms with the native driver, then you can exclude a bug in the driver from Realtek. This Realtek driver has been around for awhile now and has no bugs that I know.

    • 1. open Device Manager (found in the Control Panel, or type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    • 2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    • 3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    • 4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    • 5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    • 6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    • 7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    • 8. click on "next".
    • 9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    • 10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    • [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse steps 2-7 names].

    If the speakers and the driver to pass the tests, you might have failed to sense pin into the headphones Jack, explained in the FAQ of Jack for headphones.

  • Label and Format data binding work when running in JDev, but not deployment...

    Hello world:

    We run JDeveloper 10.1.3.42.70
    JHeadstart 10.1.3.2.51
    Our Oracle 10 g database is.

    I've been shooting some modifications of an existing Web page. Changes in which I remove an element of the page, or remove a box, this works fine running within JDeveloper (execution ViewController right-click menu arrow) and in the later deployment.

    But what I feel is anything in EO/VO data links - such as the format of a digital or a label behave differently when running in JDEV, then running deployed.

    When I change a label, or in a digital format in the folder of the local editor control tips entity/View, then run the application using the 'performance' within JDeveloper arrow, the changes appear as I expect.

    But I deploy this application, then run and formats and the old labels appear, but the new withdrawal of parts or elements is such that I wait for him. The new formats of labels / is displayed when the server is restarted. I'm testing if we can bounce the app, or bounce the container, but I wonder why these properties of the editor view/entity control Hint may not behave in the same way as other changes (deletion of point or region).

    I tried the model of cleaning & rebuild each time. I tried to clean the ViewController and rebuild each time. I closed my browser and deleted all the cache, then re-opened to make sure that I didn't put one old cached.

    After searching this forum, I tried the check from the "Bind prompt element to ADF BC control indication"Label text? '" under Tools - Preferences - settings of Jheadstart. Who hasn't made a difference.

    I do not understand why these changes form appearing when I run inside the JDEV app, but not when I deploy this application until the server is stopped. I hope certainly that I did not restart the server whenever I want to re - deploy.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? To try to understand what is happening here, I would also like to know where the text is generated when I make a change to a format or label. I can find references to the link in several files, for example ("#{bindings.") PersonLastName.label}'), but where is the actual location of the file that contains the label of 'Name' that I put in the entity control tips Editor folder in the "Text of the label" box?

    Is there a setting on the server? Is there something else I'm supposed to do?

    I appreciate any assistance.

    Mary,

    As long as the app server JAVA virtual machine is running, the adf business components are not reloaded. There is no mechanism for reloading available for business components on a JAVA virtual machine running. So, I'm afraid you will have to continue to restart the server. This also occurs when you run the application in JDev. She always starts a new OC4J instance, that's why you see the changes immediately JDev.

    Steven Davelaar,
    JHeadstart team.

  • HP8600 Server2003 shared printer will install in XP but not Win 7 profiles

    Printer is shared on a Windows Server 2003 box. The driver provided by the Web site does not work with Win 7 profiles, XP only. I found another issue even in the printer forum installation/configuration:here where a HP technician recommended to use the 990 c drivers. This solution did not work for me.

    The printer can be seen by areas of Win 7 and installed manually (only manually in sofar as to find the part and double click on the printer), but does not fill the devices section and printers automatically as it should.

    Errrmm... they are implemented this way to allow the server to manage the print queue. There is no working groups. It is on a domain.

    Often problems such as this could be solved through drivers HP Universal type but not in this case. I think we just return the printer and goes with those must have stable and drivers work.

  • Why Canon does not have old adapters for my SLR camera lenses? I can get them with Sony, but not for Canon

    I have an old Canon Ftb with a goal of 1.4 fd. I'm getting into digital cameras now (just to have a 12 G for now, mainly used for underwater photography). I would like to stay with Canon, but I'm very annoyed that Canon doesn't have a way to continue to use their old lenses. Nikon, for all their flaws are much better at you can continue to use your old stuff.

    Then I find that if I'm going to Sony (Yes, really, Sony) can I use my lenses from Canon ol via an adapter. This my Canon, tell me it ain't so. You must have a way, I just have not yet discovered.

    There are many challenges with this and the "adapters" are to be considered with a certain scepticism.

    The FD lenses are mechanical - no electronics.  The case of the unit, on the other hand, has an electronic interface for the lens - nothing of mechanics.   This means that if you set the goal, you would have to manually set the aperture but also of manual focus of the lens.

    Your Canon DSLR had a split Prism focusing in the viewfinder to help.  A new camera does not work.  The reason why there is no help from the development is because most of the lenses are autofocus so it is simply not necessary.  This makes it particularly difficult to tell when you've worn exactly the goal.  Making it even more difficult is that any device with a sensor size of APS - C (most of them) have a small viewfinder that you had on your Canon SLR photography.

    In addition, the lenses are optimized for a specific back focus distance.  Canon's EOS cameras have a depth of 44 m from the mounting flange of lens at the front of the body at the level of development within the body.  When you use an adapter, it modifies that distance.  If you change too much, the lens behaves as if it is mounted with extension tubes, the entire range of focus is moved closer to the camera, and it can be is no longer able to focus to infinity.

    There are 3 parties that make these lenses... conversion kits but they do them for a few drinks (not all) and that they require a bit of surgery on the goal (e.g. this level which protrudes beyond the rear of the lens used to set the aperture value should go).

    But... the modern lenses are just so much better than the old FD lenses.   Requires really quite the dozen FD lens to make it interesting this fuss.  Also, I own a Canon SLR (AE-1) and a few glasses of FD... but have no interest in trying to use one of these lenses on my EOS DSLR cameras.

    I think that this question almost as Ford asking why they do not wheel adapters let wheels it T model mount on a Mustang of 2015.  The new wheels are so much better than the old wheels, you want to continue to use the old wheels.

    Leave your old lenses in the past.  Mine are on the shelf alongside my AE-1... body as a conversation piece.  I don't actually use them.

  • [g 11] can create xmltype holding 'forrest' with xmlagg(), but not with dbms_lob.append)

    (I'm testing the aggregation of xmltype items one by one) xmlagg() vs dbms_lob.append (b)).

    Well, this depends on the number of items of xmltype and their structure and size, which is more efficient.

    But what makes me mad, is that I am allowed to create some xmltype which is a 'forrest' (not a SINGLE root node, but a NUMBER OF knots of roots) using xmlagg().
    But when I do the aggregation via dbms_lob.append (), I can't create some xmltype of the result, because it contains a 'forrest '.

    So why is he allowed to go but not allowed the reverse?

    Kind regards

    Frank

    It's the way it works.  You wouldn't be able to save your forest in an XML document and treat it as XML valid because it is not.

    When you work with XML, you should always use XMLTYPE and XML functions, rather than manually stringing things together using DBMS_LOB.
