ODI 12 c not dΘmarre after the Linux kernel update

Hi all

Currently, I am having trouble starting my 12 c ODI after that I updated a bunch of kernel and rebooted the machine.

The work formerly configuration was as follows:

Linux oraclelinux6.localdomain 3.8.13 - 35.3.4.el6uek.x86_64 #2 SMP Wed Jul 30 00:59:13 PDT 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

ODI Standalone Edition Version 12.1.3

Build ODI_12.1.3.0.0_GENERIC_140617.0542

Java (TM) Platform 1.7.0_67

Then I updated the package kernel - uek.x86_64, the output of the command "yum update" was the following:

sudo yum update kernel - uek.x86_64 - y

I already tried to reinstall ODI 12 c 12.1.3, but the error message is always the same. However, ODI-Studio run as superuser (known) does not work, even if the entire configuration is lost, for example repository connections.

Sorry for the wall of text, I thought that some details could be useful. Someone at - it never have a similar problem? Is this a known issue? How can this problem be solved? I have found no information about it until now.

Thanks in advance and greetings
Thomas

Remove the following the user-home directory:

/. ODI/system12.1.3.0.0

and try again.

You will lose some preferences. But this shouuld not to be a problem.

  • PC has not successfully restarted after the installation of updates

    Hello

    I have been updated with Windows Update and asked to restart my PC after the installation is complete, however, my computer froze just at that moment, so I had to press the power button to force it to close. So I don't a not properly restart but forced my PC to stop and I have not a screen saying "Configuring updates" as usual (because there is no restart appropriate but just a forced to close). When I turned on my PC back, I thought that all updates have been lost or screwed up because I don't restart the PC correctly, however, instead, windows said it was "Configuring updates" (from 0% to 30%) and 30%, he said he has been stop and then rebooted my machine and these updates have been 100% configured/installed.

    So my question is, were all 100% installed as said windows updates or was it just a fake reviews? Because I forced my PC to stop rather than restart it when all updates to complete the installation.

    In addition, argues that all updates have been installed successfully in the "Installed updates" menu, too. Please let me know if it of a false notice or not.

    Thank you

    T.

  • Does not start successfully after the installation of updates.

    My sister has installed about 16 updates to windows on his computer. For some unknown reason after these updates, the police on the websites was different (a bit pixelated). She could not know how to solve this problem otherwise that restore to before the update. Then she started to install updates in the sections. She installed upgrading Cumulative security for Internet Explorer 8. He said she needed to reboot to complete the update, so she hit the button to restart. It began to restart and but just sat there for about 8 minutes approximately. She hit the power button to turn it off and then turned back on. The windows icon appeared and the fully charged status bar but then he just sat there on a white screen. We turned off and on again and it has always the same thing. I tried hitting F12 and it did nothing. I hit F2 and it went to the options but I have no idea what I should do, if anything.

    So, can you help me? What should I do now?

    EDIT: I tried a few times to press F8 to boot into safe mode, and it does nothing. I also hit F12 and it brought me to a start menu. I hit "diagnoses" and it did nothing.

  • Flash CC not dΘmarre after update

    Flash CC not dΘmarre after update. He said 'En zelfstudie training' (training and auto-stufy in Dutch) for the update.

    Everything worked fine before the update, now, if I try solo start Flash,.

    It is said: 'Flash works niet meer' (Flash has stopped working) and closes.

    As you can probably message, I am on Windows 7.

    Now here's something interesting: if I double click on a previous film, then Flash starts well and load the previous movie.

    However when I close it and the screen that should appear is the 'new film' dialogue, flash crashes again.

    So obviously something was not install the new update, or the update does not work properly.

    I'm working now with my pre version of flash5.5 cc, I have re-installed to avoid crashing flash whenever I close a file.

    My questions:

    1. where can I connect this problem? (Or am I in the right place?)

    2 can I re - install the previous version, what worked well? (I can live without tutorials etc.).

    3. can try to re - install this version if the above is not possible and how do I do this?

    What fixed the problem for me was just to reinstall Flash CC. I thought I would give it a try, because I couldn't find a message from someone having the same problem.

    So I used the control panel to uninstall Flash, then I tried to reinstall.

    Creative cloud kept saying that Flash is updated, so you can not reinstall. If you click on the gear and choose Exit and then restart creative cloud it will take a few seconds, but we will see the situation as it is and you can reinstall Flash.

    After the relocation, the problem was gone.

    Thanks for the other solutions, I think that it is a practical resource to help reduce Flash if I ever need

    and gives me more confidence in the creative product of cloud.

    Maybe Adobe will pick it up and make it easier for us "normal" users to creative-cloud of

    Choose the version we want. As you can do in CVS systems.

  • PP 2015.3 Edit to tape function suddenly not working properly after the update

    I have maybe in a small percentage. I have grown to love PP and have been using it for controlling certain emissions tape HDSR. I think I went from 2015.0 a.3. The reading seems to have suffered in this update. I get now loss of images of PP did not keep in touch with the reading. So put together it on tape fails and insertion don't will go not to the point where there was a framework has fallen.

    There are a few other issues that are easy to manage, but tried to go through telephone support on this issue.

    -Insert video or audio over half the time after insertion is finished, PP gets stuck. The Strip was inserted but the glass remains and to pass to the next punch that I have to cancel the dialog box.

    -PP will are not more than 8 channels of audio. -Final Cut 7 can arm all12, available on our SONY SRW-5800.

    -After the 2015.3 update the PP would go through the motions of insertion on the Strip, but it would not actually insert audio, so if I was not paying attention you'd think they had set just a note QC. But no! PP just doesn't work. This problem has been resolved by removing the preference PP folder in My Documents on Mac OS X.

    So my main problem still remains that reading is basic and is no longer usable for laybacks professional Ribbon. I had to go back to Final Cut 7 and snap a simple 422HQ to tape. There must be something that I am missing, but the time allotted to me to troubleshoot this with time etc etc is limited. What could have changed in the update for the functions to change the band which makes it unusable now?

    I want to really just to install the old version, but phone support wasn't helping me with that and said I couldn't.

    Mac Pro 5.1 12 Core

    OS X 10.10.5

    Black Magic Decklink Extreme 3D +.

    Video Fund 10.6.2

    Tape recorder plugged with cable RS - 232 9-pin

    Adobe must have heard our complaints.  The new update of PP 2015.4 seems to have resolved most of the questions that we take.  I always have a random frame dropped here and there.  Export to tape option is viable again in PP 2015.4.  I'm under PP 2015.4 with the latest drivers from the AJA.

  • Windows 7 does not start after the installation of updates - sounds familiar!

    Apparently, I have another system that no longer starts after you install an update to Windows 7. New kick computer _ I have to disable the automatic update of windows. Twice I had to restore the system in the first week because he hung up after the installation of updates for windows 7. I have no idea what update is the cause of the problem.

    Essentially, start the screen goes black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner of the screen. The only way out is to restore the system.

    Does anyone know what update is the culpret? HP support has no idea. Their only solution was to update windows 7 to 'never download an update from windows '. It is a terrible thing to be underestimated solution.

    Here's the resolution...

    I installed all the updates except KB2284742 954430, 973688 and 971033. So I decided to install these 1 4 at a time in the order shown. I installed successfully 228472 and 954430 and 973688 disappeared from the list of available updates. So I installed 971033 and it installed successfully and I was still able to restart.

    My conclusion is that there is a conflict between the first 3 updates when they are installed at the same time.

    Now my system is up to date with all windows updates and I'm able to restart without any problems!

    Attn: Microsoft Brainiacs; IT IS VERY ANNOYING!
    attached pps files won't open if clicked in outlook express/ie8 after automatic update more recent.
    When I try to open files pps attached, this is what I get.

    Also, the association for pps files is still there in the Folder Options Control Panel.
    and more if I save the pps file attached somewhere / anywhere and then click on it, it opens fine.
    .. This failure to launch opening pps files attached, that happened after the latest Automatic update,
    .. just one more why people hate automatic updates or updates of any kind.

    Hi wwollmuth,

    I'm not sure from your post what version of Vista you are using or if you use the Viewer for Powerpoint as opposed to full Powerpoint (2003 or 2007?), but I can try to give you help to fix.

  • All the data disappeared after the installation of updates! Help!

    Hoping someone can help with this
    Last night I installed updates KB961371, 973346 KB and KB 890830 for Vista Home Premium and they seemed to have been settled... my computer turns off fine. But when I started today and connected to my usual user, I got a pop-up message from the tool bar by saying "your user profile was not loaded correctly, you have been logged on with a temporary profile, cnanges do you will be lost when you log out." Check the log of the events for more information or contact your administrator." I then found that all my data was away from all my files (music, photos, Documents, analyses)... everything was gone. I then logged out of my user every day and in my admin to have a snoop around and all the data disappeared from there too. While in admin I also looked in the update section to see if the updates have not been installed correctly, but he said that they had been installed successfully.

    I then rebooted, as I thought that it might help, but everything remained the same.

    After the reboot, I clicked through 'my computer' and hard the news here on the disc wrote I have 89 GB of 147 GB free, which I think is consistent with the amount of data I have stored. This made me think that the data is always there somewhere, but I can't access it at all thanks to my user every day or my administrator.

    As far as I can see, all the programs that I installed myself (such as Skype, open office software for my printer hp) are all present, but some of the shortcuts are out of the office. Also, when opening, they "behave" as newly installed programs. for example: Open Office writer guide me through a license agreement and registration rather than simply open a new document, and also firefox behaved in a way similar "new". Also, on commissioning today (after the installation of update yesterday), the window "welcome center" popped up, as did a window asking to save the "synaptics pointing device.

    In short, the system "behaves like new", remembers none of my settings etc, but it is still a my programs installed and most of all, I can't access any of my data! I have a Toshiba Equium P200-178 (use vista Home premium service pack 1 32-bit), I use AVG anti virus (8.5) and Ad-aware software anti spyware. These are updated every day and I run scans on a regular basis (last analysis aware ad probably about a week ago) so I'm not sure it's associated virus.

    Ask yourself what is this "temporary profile" and how to return to my old and my data! Help, please! Thanks :)

    Difficulty of a corrupted user profile

    After creating the profile, you can copy the files from the existing profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.

    Good luck with it.

  • My Windows Update does not seem to recognize the need for updates

    My Windows Update does not seem to recognize the need for updates to the programs... This has happened for a long time. It will only recognize the updates of Microsoft Security Essentials, but when he checks the updates it points only to the basics of security. I don't know there are updates that Microsoft Updates jumps...

    msft777jf,

    Check the 2nd Tuesday of each month - later in the day. (after 10:00 Pacific time)
