Abiword died with exit code 127 in a Etherpad Lite installation

Posted in Ubuntu on September 28, 2011 by aandersen

I’ve just made a Etherpad Lite installation on Ubuntu server 11.04

Its a very simple install, but if want to import/export files you need to install AbiWord

see:

https://github.com/Pita/etherpad-lite/wiki/How-to-enable-importing-and-exporting-different-file-formats-in-Ubuntu-with-AbiWord

 

However it did not work at my installation, got a:

Abiword died with exit code 127

error. It turns out you also need to install Libpng

 

How to install Libpng on Ubuntu see:

Custom Attributes tab missing from Active Directory

Posted in Active Directory, exchange2007, Windows, Windows 7 on August 23, 2011 by aandersen

Sometimes I need give a user a certain value in the ”Custom Attributes” field in

Active Directory, since we don’t have a Exchange server anymore (all mails are moved to Microsoft BPOS),

the ”Exchange Advanced”  tab are not visible anymore when a new user is created in our A.D.

The ”Exchange Advanced” tab holds the ”Custom Attributes”.

Here is a screen-shot with the tab:

Active Directory With the Custom Attribute tab

And without the Exchange Advanced / Custom Attribute tab

There is serveral “work-a-rounds” to solve this, the easiest I found is to use a Microsoft product called “ADSI Edit ” (adsiedit.msc)

see :

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773354%28WS.10%29.aspx

or download it from (Win2003  server SP-2

http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?DisplayLang=en&id=15326

Be sure to download both files (support.cab & suptools.msi)

Once installed , the program can be found :

c:\Program Files\Support Tools\adsiedit.msc

When started find the user you whoms Custom Attributes you want change

Right click at the user and choose ”Properties”

and you can scroll down to the ”ExtensionAttributeXX” and press “Edit” to change it.

Easy way to put a ISO image on a USB Stick (bootable USB drive)

Posted in OSX, Windows, Windows 7 on August 16, 2011 by aandersen

From time to time I need to test out a live (Linux) system on a PC , without erasing the

Current OS (typical Windows).

I found a free great cross platform (Mac,Pc,Linux) program called UNetbooting that

does this.

Instead of downing a live ISO system and burning it on a CDROM its much easier just to put it on a USB drive.

I also use Clonezilla to clone PC’s (and Mac’s) they quite often release new versions,

So in this case its very nice to be able (re)use a USB drive.

Remember everything on the USB drive will be deleted – backup !.

In this example I am going to “burn” a Clonezilla ISO to a USB Drive.

Download the CloneZilla ISO from the “live” section on their homepage

Before starting the program – insert the USB Drive in your computer

Choose the “DiskImage” option (since we want a ISO file on a USB )

Click on the “browse” button and choose the ISO – and click on “OK

The “burning” process takes about 30 sek. for the Clonezilla ISO

All Done, press “Exit

Before turning on the PC- insert the USB drive and remember to choose to boot from the USB device,

when starting the PC.

On a DELL – you press F12 to choose this.

Console filling up with com.apple.launchd[1] or com.apple.launchd.peruser

Posted in OSX on July 6, 2011 by aandersen

My ‘Console’ (Applications ->Utilities->Console)  where showing a lot of issues related to a old, long gone program

Showing the entrys in my Console

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The issue above was related to a program I once installed called’ SyncMate’, this program was clearly not uninstalled the properly.

(Launchd is a unix service which load/unload daemons or programs)

The fix this , start the “terminal” and launch the ‘launchctl’ command

launchctl list

This will give you list of autostart services (not programs)

Notice the line marked – this relates to my error,

Start your ‘Terminal’ and remove the deamon with:

launchctl remove com.Eltima.SyncMateServer

You could run launchctl list once again to make sure the deamon is gone.

Last step is to remove the plist related to this in the ‘LaunchAgents’ folder.

(or from Finder choose “Go to folder ” from the “GO” Menu)

In terminal cd to:

/Library/LaunchAgents

I got several files there – the one related to my issue is called

syncmateStarter.plist

Delete this.

Other places to look are:

~/Library/LaunchAgents                     Per-user agents provided by the user.
/Library/LaunchAgents                     Per-user agents provided by the administrator.
/Library/LaunchDaemons                 System wide daemons provided by the administrator.
/System/Library/LaunchAgents      Mac OS X Per-user agents.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons  Mac OS X System wide daemons.

 

The user name or alias that you entered in the e-mail address is already in use in one of your domains.

Posted in Microsoft BPOS, Windows on June 29, 2011 by aandersen

Today at BPOS – Hosted Exchange I saw this error when creating a new user (newuser@domain.com):

“We were unable to create the user requested.

The user name or alias that you entered in the e-mail address is already in use in one of your domains.

Enter a unique name that is not already used in any of your domains.”

We had once a user with this e-mail adr (newuser@domain.com) – but he where long gone.

It seems like BPOS keeps a history of used e-mail address, the solution where to create newuser1@domain.com and then rename this user to: newuser@domain.com

Invalidfont Error when printing..

Posted in Windows 7 on March 17, 2011 by aandersen

After upgrading to Windows 7 a couple of users had this error when printing om a Dell 5310n :

Error:Invalidfont
Offending command: Show

More programs was affected(e.g. Acrobat , Powerpoint etc.)

Typical the print would print some pages e.g 1-7  and then stop with the error above.

The solution was (on the printserver) to “Download fonts as Type 1” insted of “Choose Download type automatically

On a DELL 5310 you have to right click on the printer and choose

"Properites"->"printing Preferences"->"Other Options" ->"More Options" ->Fonts

(I tried the option to "Download as Type 42" it did not work .)
