  • ESXi 5.0 can join vCenter, vpxa rogue folder cannot be deleted

    Hello

    We have an ESXi 5.0 that cannot be joined to vCenter 5.1

    It fails with timeout of waiting for vpxa start.

    the problem seems to come from:

    / opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx # ls - lah

    drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 512 Mar 12:40 8.

    -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 29.7 k August 19, 2011. #vpxResultFilter.xml

    / opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx # rm-rf.\#vpxResultFilter.xml

    RM: cannot remove the '. #vpxResultFilter.xml ': operation not permitted

    This file cannot be deleted.

    The host has failed to join vCenter previously and the vpxa could not be uninstalled or installed.

    Please help

    Thank you

    Hi all

    I managed to solve the problem.

    It was so simple:

    Newspapers, I noticed that: when you try to join the host to vCenter, he was questioned on the vpxResultFilter.xml file and could not find it. (the file was somehow been renamed. #vpxResultFilter.xml)

    I copied. #vpxResultFilter.xml to vpxResultFilter.xml as below and voila, it worked.

    / opt/vmware/vpxa/vpx # ls-l - has

    drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 512 1 Aug 13:29.

    -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 30384 August 19, 2011. #vpxResultFilter.xml

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Thank you all.

  • Web cam problem, using Skype... I can see other people, but they cannot see me...

    original title: web cam problem

    using Skype... I can see other people, but they cannot see me...

    Hello

    Be sure to contact the Skype Support like this might be a known issue and they might have the solution.
    There is also information and on the Skype Forums.

    Skype - Support
    https://support.Skype.com/en-us/

    Skype - Forums
    http://Forum.Skype.com/

    Also check with the manufacturer of the system, their drivers and documentation support online and ask
    their forums (if any).

    ============

    You will probably need to reload the drivers of the device and any camera control software.

    Login as an administrator.

    Double-click Control Panel / Device Manager - Imaging - writing down of the brand and model of camera.
    on this subject and on the tab of the driver is version. Now, click on update drivers (who are unable to do anything as MS
    is far behind the pilots of certification). RIGHT click on the camera - UNINSTALL - REBOOT - it
    will update the driver stack.

    Now, go to the system manufacturer's website and download the latest driver for the camera and the other related camera
    software (if not more recent get the same).

    Download - SAVE - go to them and RIGHT CLICK - RUN AS ADMIN - reboot after each driver.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    before the update of Skype, it was working fine,

    to try to solve this problem, I did all the following:

    start/stop, given the time just incase it was problem maintence

    uninstalled/reinstalled

    (would of downloaded a previous version, but they abandoned their) so it is a no

  • Can I update the image of factory restore?

    Hi all

    I recently had the pleasure to make a 'factory restore' on a M100 and an A300.

    While the process went smoothly (even if the A300 recovery disk creator should not be put back first to make it work), data that has been restored were, of course, obsolete because he didn't understand not updates either the operating system (Vista Home Basic) or to one of the Toshiba Software (including drivers and tools utility).

    I know that you can return the system to Toshiba for a new image of the HARD drive by them (at great cost), but I don't know if that provides a picture of 'update' or if she simply replaces the original image (obsolete).

    Is it possible the 'factory restore' image stored on the recovery partition can be updated and a user, or a technician of the 'non-Toshiba"without having recourse to external software such as Acronis?

    Thanks in advance for all advice offered.

    Hey Buddy,

    No, you can update the image of factory restore t. Settings (Windows, driver, etc.) are stored in an image that can t be changed or updated because these settings are pre-tested on your laptop computer and any change would be not compatible. In addition, I think that Windows updates are made with two or three clicks, you need just to a good internet connection. Alternative, you install Microsoft's latest Service Pack which contains many important updates ;)

    By the way: I made my own image using Acronis image. After the installation of recovery disk Toshiba I removed all applications that I n t need (ConfigFree for example), installed the Windows updates and my other apps that I need (Skype, Office, etc.). After that, I tested the laptop a bit and finally and especially that I created an image with Acronis. So I can restore my own settings every time too. ;)

  • Skype cannot find my sound card

    Skype cannot find my Sound card - when I run the test of the Echo - it I heard say 'Hello' then it dies.

    I have a brand new Thinkpad (T420), Windows 7, internal camera and microphone, Windows loaded all drivers.

    I tried to find the communication helper.exe someone suggested, disable it - can't find it.

    I hope someone can help!

    Thank you-

    Sorry - it took me a while to get to try everything.

    I tried all that and it didn't work.  Then I found the 'Lenovo' tools/help - no matter what and let this process of updating everything, and now it works.  I'm guessing it drivers that needed to be updated, but I'll probably never know.

    I wonder now if I have to go back and "A" check that you have suggested, although it works.  It doesn't seem to be a good idea to allow applications to take control of my speakers and microphone - but I do not know!

    Thank you!

  • 'Skype cannot connect' on Windows 10, Skype 6.2

    Hey there!

    I always use 6.2 and refusing to upgrade and it has always worked well, no matter what I did. It was all just 'good '. Today however it upgraded to 7. something without my consent. Immediately, I uninstalled and reinstalled 6.2. As he finished installing it I logged into my usual account, with all my friendslist be there. Suddenly it start my account and says 'Skype cannot connect' (Yes, of course, I saw how it could not connect...).

    Now to my actual question: is there a known way to always keep my old version and connect? To be honest, I stopped rather using Skype as a whole rather than updating to 7.Bloatware' only Adds * beep * (also suck some avatars round).

    6.14 Skype versions are now disconnected and will not be able to connect to the servers of Skype.

  • Skype cannot connect problem

    Skype cannot connect!

    I use OS 10.6 or higher. Redownloaded last Skype for Mac.

    Still get same message "unable to connect".

    What is the problem?

    Thank you

    AMIINC2

    Ahhhh. Now how the hell I guess than that?

    I discovered by chance after the update my version of Skype 3 times, including recognizing the "this version will replace the older version on your computer", he has done far not at all! When I finally thought to check the version after opening I thought it was the updated version, it was still the old version numbers... I had to drag the Skype Application to the trash icon and "empty trash" to delete the old version completely. Then, when I downloaded the app even for the fourth time, he has worked very well and I managed to connect on the first try. Clear Skype should let people know, but apparently they did NOT! Hope this helps some of you with similar problems.

  • Cannot use Skype more-"Skype cannot connect.

    I use Skype 6.18. I received an email that my credit was about to expire, so I launched Skype to make a brief phone call.

    Try to connect, I'm me "Skype cannot connect."

    So I clicked on "Can't access your account?" and changed the password.

    This process takes me to a page where my account info is displayed. On this page, I clicked on "Make a call." Nothing at all.

    I went through the whole new process - all the steps described above, including changing the password again.

    Same result. I click on "Make a call" and nothing happens.

    I restarted Skype on my desktop and tried to login with the new password and got "Skype cannot connect."

    As far as I know, I will not be able to use Skype anymore.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled Skype.

    That seems to have fixed everything that was the problem.

    Thank you.
