Mavericks - CC & CC 2014; local vs network home dirs | ||||||

| Hi, I think Im going nuts. I can launch CC apps on a network mounted home dir but cannot launch CC 2014 on the same. I can however launch CC 2014 if that home dir is local which is also non case sensitive if that even matters. Would any one mind telling me what Im doing wrong here. The oddity with Chrome and Earth which also work on a local home dir but not on a network mounted one got me going down this path. Im NFS BTW and have been running NFS mounted home dirs on our Mac fleet since, oh I guess 09. Nuggets of wisdom are hugely appreciated. - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore.

I'm in the UK and I see a road lined with some palm trees and a pedestrian bridge going over it. I've got no idea where it is but judging by the ridiculously low speed limit and number of SUVs I suspect it's in the USA somewhere. When I first saw it I thought it was a bizarre choice to have a photo of a road on the login screen. Shane.

Do you get any error messages? Check /var/log/system.log and try opening from the terminal.. Assuming you've ruled out permission issues and such, there is probably an error message getting sent somewhere. If you're really desperate, try ethereal or wireshark (or whatever it's called these days) to trace the network file system traffic for files opened, and see where it stops, and if it stops due to an error. It's possible that CC 2014 is not opening due to a file or resource it can't access for some reason, and perhaps isn't being as user friendly as it could about popping a dialog when it encounters a problem, but you can maybe find out the issue it by looking at all the files it opens over the network while it's loading up, and focus on the ones it tries to access just before it dies. Or compare the list of files it opens between CC (which works) and CC 2014 (which doesn't) to see what it might be having trouble with.

| Well, to be more exact, the EULA keeps cycling upon agreement. No errors in log as those are the very first I check. Good call on the sniffer, I briefly did tcpdump but frankly tire of this stuff already. I used to run tcpdump and pipe to barnyard which slowed things down for me to read properly (gleaned from ISSA-LA magazine a very long time ago) but Ill attempt a GUI sniffer. What was supposed to be a simple setup turned into something that is well... that which is not a simple setup :) At any rate, since Im working today, Ill use a better sniffer (one easier to read like Wireshark) and report back. Happy 4th dude. Much appreciate the replies. - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore. More Grit For Less Green.

Hola list. We're looking at MS PlayReady DRM. I.e. running the whole infrastructure inhouse: transcode, packaging, licensing and the domain management (i.e we'll handle subscriber licensing requests in a DC). Anyone got any hands on with it? Thus far I have not found much in the way of technical papers or even consulting professionals in this area. Julian FirmingerSnr.

All, It is that time again, looking for some help from within our community. We would like to start getting our meetings going again in all locations around the globe.

Looking for people and locations to hold meetings in TORONTO, LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANSICSO/BAY AREA, LONDON, and SYDNEY. Looking for locations only in NEW YORK, MONTREAL, VANCOUVER, and PARIS
While we are at it... If you have suggestions on what topics you would like to hear about etc - Please let me know.

Forgot to mention in my previous post, I removed a ton of users from the website that no longer had valid e-mails accounts...
Please login to the website and update your profiles. If you need help, just ask, but it is pretty simple. If you had an account but your old e-mail is no longer valid, please send me an e-mail and I can help you fix that up.

Hiya all. I mentioned MS PlayReady in a previous post and was understandably ignored. :) So, of you all: 1) Are you doing DRM on content going out of your studios, are you providing unprotected masters only or are you using an external provider for DRM? 2) What DRM systems are you using? 3) Is it all a waste of time?

So, lets combine a couple of threads into this one so I can keep track... We are ramping up to kick off our StudioSysAdmins events after SIGGRAPH (working on a SIGGRAPH event at the moment), and we are looking for your help to make sure we can get as many people out to each event and make sure cover the topics you want to see and/or hear about... I would also like to see the events take place in different locations so people get a chance to see something new :) So if you could send an email to me directly... john.hickson@studiosysadmins.com
With as much of the following information as you can... 1) Would you like to help organize meetings? yes/no + location 2) Would we be able to use you facility for a meeting? yes/no + capicity 3) What topics would you like to hear/learn about? (list as many as you like) 4) What days to you prefer to have meetings? 5) What time should meetings start? 6) How long should meetings be?
Thank you and as always your help is appreciated... :) |

Hello all Does anyone on the board use Google Apps for Business? I've used it in the past and found it very functional, simple and a suitable replacement for Exchange. But that was many years ago. Question is: Is it still good? How was the transition from previous mail solution to Gmail? What's the general feeling on features? Do your staff like it? Thanks Jason |
Adobe CC updates require a whole new package? | ||||||

Hey all,
We had a look at the new package updates for CC and it seems the new updates are actually whole new applications. In the package manager the ones we packaged before have gone to the archived versions section.
We have the package as part of our Mavericks deployment in order for everything to be available to anyone needing the CC apps.
If we can't update the package it looks like we are going to have to re-install the whole lot, quite time consuming.
Has anyone else seen this or know of a way to inject the app updates into a current CC package?

Hi list, About to roll out a Nucoda cc suite. Local disks, looking at 6 spindles in a RAID0 for the time being while we run in the system. LSI MegaRAID 9280. My question is, the plan was just hw raid and an NTFS volume. nothing special. Any reasons NTFS is a bad idea? In the past I've always provisioned fast SAN or other centralized storage for this kind of thing. Havent done it locally in donkeys years. Julian FirmingerSnr.

I recently inherited two Gen 1 (2008) Dell PE 1950 servers from a client that just upgraded. Since I dont have a need for them I am wondering if any one local to LA might (I cant ship).
Below are the specs of the first system:
The second system has only 2 GB of RAM, a single PS, and one drive sled. These could be useful in low traffic environments for something such as a license server, DNS or some other low impact application. Just pop in your drives, load up Linux and away you go. Let me know if anyone might be interested. You can email me directly. Cheers! Jeff |

I know the solution can be anywhere from 'zero' dollars to the sky. rsync, Avere, Riverbed, ( an endless list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_synchronization_software ) etc... lots of choices but I'm wondering what is working for you and why you may of went with a commercial solution as opposed to one which is not, or the other way around. |
