netbeans Failed to connect to device 6! Reason: Emulator 6 failed to register in time

Failed to connect to device 6!
Reason:
Emulator 6 failed to register in time!
 
So you encounter this error when you are run netbeans right?
This is normally a data execution prevention issue. DO the ff.

Goto
control panel>>system>>advance system settings>>advanced tab>>settings under performance field set>>data execution prevention tab>>Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select

add "runMidlet.exe" as an exception by navigating to its directory in your netbeans installation folder
in my case it was located here

NetBeans/mobility/Java_ME_platform_SDK_3.0/runtimes/cldc-hi-javafx/bin

Restart your PC and you are good to go.
Sometimes you may have to go on to disable your firewall and antivirus if it is still not working.

If still not working, you are not out of luck...
In your netbeans, go to tools>java platforms>>CLDC Oracle Java(TM) Plaform Micro Edition SDK 3.0.5>>Click refresh
Do it again if it fails.
Then you should be good to go.
Hope this helps someone. :)

MSSQL Server: Database (In Recovery)

This can happen when the SQL Server Service has gone down hard in the middle of write operations and sometimes during mode during server startup

It means the database is still recovering and if the database is huge, it will cost a long time to finish the recovery. When this happens, it is advisable to remain calm and wait till the recovery is done.

Below is a script to help monitor and determine how long the database will be in recovery..

DECLARE @DBName VARCHAR(64) = 'GED_DRILLHOLES'

DECLARE @ErrorLog AS TABLE([LogDate] CHAR(24), [ProcessInfo] VARCHAR(64), [TEXT] VARCHAR(MAX))

INSERT INTO @ErrorLog

EXEC sys.xp_readerrorlog 0, 1, 'Recovery of database', @DBName

SELECT TOP 5

       [LogDate]

      ,SUBSTRING([TEXT], CHARINDEX(') is ', [TEXT]) + 4,CHARINDEX(' complete (', [TEXT]) - CHARINDEX(') is ', [TEXT]) - 4) AS PercentComplete

      ,CAST(SUBSTRING([TEXT], CHARINDEX('approximately', [TEXT]) + 13,CHARINDEX(' seconds remain', [TEXT]) - CHARINDEX('approximately', [TEXT]) - 13) AS FLOAT)/60.0 AS MinutesRemaining

      ,CAST(SUBSTRING([TEXT], CHARINDEX('approximately', [TEXT]) + 13,CHARINDEX(' seconds remain', [TEXT]) - CHARINDEX('approximately', [TEXT]) - 13) AS FLOAT)/60.0/60.0 AS HoursRemaining

      ,[TEXT]

FROM @ErrorLog ORDER BY [LogDate] DESC

Please note that towards the final completion(SAY 95%) of the recorvery, the file might not be updated anymore and this will indicate the end. Just REFRESH the DB and you are good to go

 

php twitter: undefined index: oauth_token_secret

The problem is that there is an error in the request so you don't get oauth_token_secret in the respond from Twitter. Instead you get an error message.

Turn of php notice by typing the following at the top of the page
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

print_r() the $request_token or $request variable to the screen. It will show you the type of error returned by twitter
print_r($request_token );

An example of the error message when you print the array is "Desktop applications only support the oauth_callback value 'oob' /oauth/request_token?oauth_callback=...."

Go to your app settings on twitter and make the correct settings.
In the case of the above error, set the callback url to the one you send in the request and try again!!

Good Luck.

svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use

I was done setting up svn and i ran "svnserve -d -r path"  and got the following:


svnserve: Can't bind server socket: Address already in use.

In my case I had previously set up svn which was already listening on the default port 3690.
I solved this simply by looking for that svn process and killing it.
Grep it on commandline with;
ps -ef  | grep svnserve

This will show the running svn process. Just get the processID/number and kill it and you should be set..

e.g sudo kill processID.
