Comment on Migrate OS X to a bigger hard disk by Michael

Michael — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 06:40:46 +0000

Thanks for your feedback.

I booted from a backup so I had sudo. Don’t know why it isn’t on the install disc.

Have a nice day!

Comment on Migrate OS X to a bigger hard disk by Nividica

Thank you very much for sharing this. After upgrading my hdd I found myself with this little issue.
I also wanted to add a couple of notes about my experience, as I booted from the installation disc. I ran into an issue with the gpt commands.
#1) Sudo doesn’t exist, so everything runs with su privileges (not really reading the error can lead you(me) to believe you typed it in wrong, and thus typing in the wrong command 4 times in a row)
#2) For reasons I can’t even begin to understand, after any command in the terminal, besides umount, my partition was re-mounted automatically. (Ran in circles for a while with this one)

So my ending commands were:
umount /dev/disks02
gpt show /dev/disk0
umount /dev/disk02
gpt destroy /dev/disk0
gpt create -f /dev/disk0
gpt add -b 409640 -s XXX /dev/disk0

Comment on Old and tired? by cuchulin

In some points I agree with You: Always new tooling new frameworks and new kind of “swiss army knifes and forks”.
But what is the problem to solve ? Isn’t the problem the important thing which has to be solved ? You say it Yourself, that we should focus on the things we want to create.
I felt the spirit of people in Railscon or Webinale on the on side and feel the tiredness on the jaxcon.
I am a long time in enterprise development and I feel the same thing I felt 10 years ago with cobol and the brand new java. I think: “java the cobol of today” (By the way Cobol still exists in your company). The arguments and discussions are the same we made 10 years ago.

Comment on On writing binary data from within Oracle Forms 6i by mls

mls — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 09:11:35 +0000

Well, I’d really like to see a working example.

I tried to do quite the same thing, well, reading a client file in Forms 6i instead of writing. I used native Windows I/O functions and ORA_FFI package to make them available in Forms 6i. However, I just couldn’t make them work properly: the “ReadFile” function always set the error code to 998 which would be “Invalid memory reference” or something like that, and nothing was returned. (Despite that the file was opened (“CreateFile”) and closed (“CloseHandle”) successfully.) I just don’t know what the heck was not working OK—wrong declaration of “ReadFile” or what? The test file for reading is OK and resides in the local machine with ORACLE client and Forms 6i. Everything seems allright, only reading the file fails and I don’t know why.

Thanks for any reply.

If you receive an error or alert after this process after rebooting back from the HDD specifying “Partition map check failed because no slices were found” then don’t panic.
Simply reboot to the installation disk and run the Repair Disk from there to restore the slices.

Comment on PDF::Writer and Ruby on Rails 2.2.2 by Michael

Michael — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 07:21:31 +0000

Hi Jonathan,

the short answer is now, sorry.

The longer version:
i’ve stopped using Rails with version 2.3.5. Rack and Rails have severe bugs that didn’t get fixed and with 3.x i wdidnould have to rewrite at last halve of my application. Pdf-Writer was one of the things that didn’t work anymore.

I don’t suppose you have some insight on how to get pdf-writer templates working on rails 3.1? I was getting the errors to change but not able to actually get PDFs to render.

Thanks,
-Jonathan

Comment on Creating a better PathMatcher for Spring 3 by Matteo

Matteo — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:06:24 +0000

Thanks for this! You saved me a lot of time!
To be honest, I had a different need, not one concerning the path matcher.
I had to replace the DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping with a custom one (and yes, you must get rid of the in order to do so). Very useful article anyway
