Oracle VirtualBox stuck installation

When re-installing Virtualbox, it hangs and nothing happens.

Googling I found the solution:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/38226-63-problems-oracle-virtualbox

Pasting the answers here:

VirtualBox doesn't install startup items or services on Windows host, rather it installs several device drivers which may be the ones giving you problems. Depending on your settings during the installation, these drivers should be in your system:  

VBoxDrv VirtualBox Support Driver Oracle Corporation c:\windows\system32\drivers\vboxdrv.sys  

VBoxNetAdp VirtualBox Host-Only Network Adapter Driver Oracle Corporation 

c:\windows\system32\drivers\vboxnetadp.sys VBoxNetFlt VirtualBox 

Bridged Networking Driver Oracle Corporation 

c:\windows\system32\drivers\vboxnetflt.sys  

VBoxUSBMon VirtualBox USB Monitor Driver Oracle Corporation c:\windows\system32\drivers\vboxusbmon.sys 

TAP-Win32 Adapter V9 - VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver Miniport  

Try using a program like Autoruns to disable those drivers and check the Device Manager for any VirtualBox related entries that may be marked as a problem. If the failed installation still shows on in your Programs and Features, try using CCleaner to remove that entry from the list. Before trying to reinstall again, download the latest release of VirtualBox and make sure the installer's checksum is correct. 
Post a reply if this helps you or not. 

--------

Thanks for those pointers - I think I have now solved the problem!  

Starting with a system that has VirtualBox installed and was thus hanging on reboot I did several 'shutdown->restart's to prove the frequency. I got 4 hangs out of 8 reboots.  

Then I looked for the drivers. I could only find 3 - VboxNetAdp, VboxUsbMon and VboxDrv. (The last 2 are 'hidden - non PnP drivers' you have to enable hidded drivers to see them. I disabled all three and repeated the restart tests: 8/8 success!  

Now I changed the status of VboxDrv and VboxUsbMon from 'system' to 'demand'. That failed first time so I tried 'automatic'. Then I did the restart tests again: 8/8 success. Re enable the VboxNetAdp as well... again success!  

Now I had re-enabled all the drivers so I tried running Virtualbox again with complete success. So far I have had no hangs on restart with those two non PnP drivers set to automatic. (See here for an explanation of driver startup types http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us [...] 25630.aspx )  

BTW the checksum on the package is wrong! Oracle have released a new version of the VirtualBox without updating the MD5 page. You can see the release number of the installer is different from that quoted on the checksum page!  

Thanks again - problem solved!

RegExp Q*Bert

I was reading the famous Coding Horror and his comparison between RegExp and Q*Bert languages is very funny and "accurate".

This remains me the post of the new book of RegExp cookbook 2nd ed :

(?:429496729[0-5]|42949672[0-8][0-9]|4294967[01][0-9]{2}|429496[0-6]?[0-9]{3}|42949[0-5][0-9]{4}|4294[0-8][0-9]{5}|429[0-3][0-9]{6}|42[0-8]?[0-9]{7}|4[01][0-9]{8}|3[0-9]{9}|2[2-9][0-9]{8}|21[5-9][0-9]{7}|214[89]?[0-9]{6}|2147[5-9][0-9]{5}|214749[0-9]{4}|214748[4-9][0-9]{3}|2147483?[7-9][0-9]{2}|21474836[5-9][0-9]|214748364[89])

Still I think there must be a better solution for it. Anyone ?

Bobby Fishcer jugando tenis de mesa

Estas fotos de Bobby Fishcer jugando ping-pong son de culto:

Imagenes del documental de HBO: Bobby Fischer Against the World (2011):

Documental de uno de los mas grandes jugadores de ajedrez del mundo, Bobby Fischer. Muestra de forma agil y entretenida la vida inicial de este genio que de forma autodidactitca aprendio y supero las tecnicas de la epoca ajedrecistica.

Entrevistas a los principales actores del gran bullado campeonato del mundo de 1972 contra Spassky. Filmaciones de la epoca y como algo tan lento pudo tomar tanta atencion, que claro que por el tema de la guerra fria, hizo un impacto global.

Despues de llegar a una cuspide insuperable se ve la caid libre de este gran jugador que años despues pudimos ver por enfermedades mentales no tratadas cayo en un decadencia sin retorno. Entrega una triste y real vision de lo que sucedio con él y quizas deja un espacio al libre albedrio para imaginar si hubiese jugado contra Karpov y seguido una vida mas racional.
Curioso detalles es la locura de varios grandes jugadores mencionados en el filme... será un patrón o mera coincidencia ?

Para cuaquier persona que haya jugado a algun nivel o respete este deporte-ciencia, es una manera fresca y dinamica de ver esta biografia del mas grande los los jugadores norteamericanos.

Oreilly Second Edition of Regular Expressions Cookbook

I was reading the free sampler of this new edition and paid my attention the reference to Recipe 6.7:

So I tested it, but it doesn't work as expected:

String regexp = "(?:429496729[0-5]|42949672[0-8][0-9]|4294967[01][0-9]{2}|429496[0-6]?[0-9]{3}|42949[0-5][0-9]{4}|4294[0-8][0-9]{5}|429[0-3][0-9]{6}|42[0-8]?[0-9]{7}|4[01][0-9]{8}|3[0-9]{9}|2[2-9][0-9]{8}|21[5-9][0-9]{7}|214[89]?[0-9]{6}|2147[5-9][0-9]{5}|214749[0-9]{4}|214748[4-9][0-9]{3}|2147483?[7-9][0-9]{2}|21474836[5-9][0-9]|214748364[89])"; 

String text = "214748364 8 2147483648 2147483650 4294967295";

I get the following results:

214748364
214748364
214748365
4294967295

is this a typo in the book or maybe RegexMagic is wrong.

How to retrieve XML sent into SOAP Payload

Using WebLogic Server 10.3.5 , we need a way to retrieve XML payload that is not sent between CDATA:

<foo>
<bar>
foobar
</bar>
</foo>

To implement the solution, please use the following snippet code to achieve the requirement:

To achieve this, we use JAX-RPC and following webservice endpoint:
in the method nodeToString() we are getting the XML as String:

@WebMethod()

public String sayHello(javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement message) {

System.out.println("**************************ENDPOINT**************************************************");

System.out.println("sayHello:" + message.toString());

System.out.println("sayHello:" + message.getClass());



printNodeToConsole(message);

String xml_str = nodeToString(message);



System.out.println("****************************XML**********************");

System.out.println(xml_str);

System.out.println("****************************XML**********************");



return "Here is the message: '" + message + "'";

}





private String nodeToString(Node node) {

StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();

try {

System.out.println("Start string conversion...");

Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();

t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");

t.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(sw));

} catch (TransformerException te) {

System.out.println("nodeToString Transformer Exception");

}

System.out.println("end string conversion...");

return sw.toString();

}

There is a workaround escaping the XML with CDATA or XML entities < >
but the solution would be to use javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement as parameter of the webservice endpoint

ADVAN COMPILER BASIC
http://www.atarimagazines.com/v4n12/Compiler.html
Advan BASIC is filled with shortcuts like this. By the way, it ran my version of the Sieve of Eratosthenes in 13.8 seconds. The MMG compiler took 9 seconds, BASIC XL took 67 seconds and Atari BASIC hasn't finished yet. If that isn't fast enough, you can rewrite key routines in assembly language from within BASIC. Advan BASIC recognizes assembler mnemonics almost as if they were BASIC keywords. Not only is this great for people who know assembly language, but it can be a teriffic learning environment too.

ADVAN OPTIMIZER
http://www.atarimagazines.com/v6n2/BASICBonanza.html
Advan BASIC was already pretty fast. Now it's the fastest BASIC in Atari history. In our Sieve Benchmark, the Advan Optimizing Compiler is about four times faster than the MMG Compiler, six times faster than regular Advan, 20 times faster than compiled Turbo-BASIC XL and 120 times faster than uncompiled Atari BASIC. In fact, it's more than half the speed of ACTION!- that's getting real close to pure assembly language.

Cause

This occurs when classloading filtering is being used for the packages java.* or javax.*

Although this was common in 10.3.x, this is no longer supported since 12.1.1

i.e.:

<prefer-application-packages>
<package-name>javax.jws.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.xml.ws.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.annotation.*</package-name>
</prefer-application-packages>

Solution

remove the following tags from weblogic-application.xml and redeploy the application again:

i.e.:

<package-name>javax.jws.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.xml.ws.*</package-name>
<package-name>javax.annotation.*</package-name>

WebLogic Startup Mode: DEV v/s PROD

It is known that several features changes between development or production startup mode on WebLogic Server.

There is an interesting post at Frank Munz blog about it.

Until now, I have suggested about resource-reload-check-secs, webservice test client & CAT.

Probably still there are some features missing, so everybody is invited to comment.

Cause
Customer has upgraded schema header Deployment Descriptor to EJB 3.1, provided by DDConverter.
however the EJB still is 2.1 therefore it is not good practice to give the 3.1 schema.

Solution
1.
Change the ejb-jar.xml Deployment Descriptor Schema to:

<ejb-jar < xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd" version="2.1">

then recompile the EJB again.

¡ Puzle !

Increiblemente vi en un libro infantil el siguiente angloamericanismo:

Asi que desde ahora seguire escribiendo: Puzle, Manayer y algún otra palabra novedosa aceptada por la RAE.

puzle.

(Del ingl. puzzle).

1. m. rompecabezas (‖ juego).

WLS extensions: JRF, OWSM, etc.

WebLogic Server 10.3.6 brings bundled JRF, OWSM and other extensions that many times are necessary for integration with other technologies.

Usually was necessary to install the whole Fusion Middleware, now it is much easier for development to obtain those libraries.

ImageMagick Cheat Sheet

The following commands were taken from the internet, I will give acknowledge when found:

Windows version now uses "magick" as the command:

magick vlcsnap-1280-07-14-21h45m00s867.png -crop 400x360+0+0 i1.png

magick ... # in place of `convert`
magick identify ... # in place of `identify`
magick mogrify ... # in place of `mogrify`
magick compare ... # in place of `compare`
magick compose ... # in place of `compose`


--------------------

create thumbnail:
convert -geometry 100x100 -quality 100 orgfilename.jpg thumbfilename.jpg

rotate an image:
convert orgfilename.jpg -rotate 60 rotated60.jpg

croping an image:
convert orgfilename.jpg -crop 128x128+50+50 cropped.jpg
magick filename.jpg -crop 128x128+50+50 cropped.jpg

croping an image for several files:

for file in *.png; do convert -crop 863x675+227+51 "$file" "x6/$file"; done 

convert a directory of png images to gif:
mogrify -format gif *.png 
mogrify -format webp *.png 

watermarking with text:
convert orgfilename.jpg -font Arial -pointsize 20 -draw "gravity south fill black text 0,12 'Watermark' fill white text 1,11 'Watermark' " wmark_text_drawn.jpg

convert pdf to png
convert pdffile.pdf -colorspace RGB -resample 72×72 -units PixelsPerInch -quality 90 -resize 500×500 -size 500×500 pngfile.png

Convert jpg to pdf
convert *.jpg output.pdf 

convert input.png PNG24:output.png

convert i00.png -crop 319x160+8+24 PNG24:r00.png

For several images to a single PDF: (yeah, not magick)

img2pdf --out z2.pdf *.png

 

Compression for PNG:

pngquant *.png

PDF too big (from jpg)
convert -quality 60 *.jpg output.pdf

Resize an image:

convert image.jpg -resize 800 image.png

(porcentaje no me funco bien)

mogrify -path xx -resize 800 *.jpg

cd to the directory where your images are located (temp) after creating a new directory to hold the changed files (say, temp2)
mogrify -path fullpathto/temp2 -resize 60x60% -quality 60 -format jpg *.png

Compare to images:

compare image1 image2 -compose src diff.png

estas imagenes pueden ser en diferente formato inclusive ! 
compare PC-200617-1248-30.pdf PC-270717-1119-53.pdf diff.pdf (pdf)
 

Append two images:

convert image1.jpg image2.jpg -append result.jpg 

To verify ImageMagick is working properly, type the following in a Windows Command Prompt window:

convert logo: logo.gif 
identify logo.gif
imdisplay

To see details of the image: (information) 

identify image.ext

identify dp1.jpg
dp1.jpg JPEG 300x374 300x374+0+0 8-bit sRGB 34082B 0.000u 0:00.009

magick identify image

magick identify -verbose r00.png

Invert colors:

convert input.png -channel RGB -negate output.png 

Black & White colors:

convert input.png -colorspace Gray output.png 

Problems with spaces and hyphens in filenames

find . -name "* *" -type f | rename 's/ /_/g'

 

 

Robocopy

un muy buen copiador para perifericos que esten con problemas

ROBOCOPY source destination /MIR


   /MIR :: Mirror a complete directory tree.


   /R:n :: number of Retries on failed copies: default 1 million.
   /W:n :: Wait time between retries: default is 30 seconds.


   /S :: copy Subdirectories, but not empty ones.
   /E :: copy subdirectories, including Empty ones.

i.e.:

robocopy C:\development F:\backup\development /r:2 /w:2 /s


(este copia recursivo, reintentando solo 2 veces y si se ejecuta de nuevo excluye a los archivos ya copiados ~mirroring).


Un buen resumen aparece al final:
(tambien podria ser mas verboso)

hay varias GUI no-oficiales y una oficial para robocopy, entre ellas: http://betterrobocopygui.codeplex.com/

JDK 7 8 9 10

The new JDK's will have a new version every two years... now we won't wait for a unknown long time for a new version. Is that good ?

So you can correlate that JDK 10 will be on 2017

Why is this new frenzy creating new version numbering system?
FireFox and Chrome are running fast under this agile versioning...

Certificaciones Java

Hubo un cambio importante en las certificaciones de Java, ahora hay mas subtipos, aun se mantienen las version par EE5 (siendo EE6 la actual), tambien se agregó J2SE 7, por unz razón obvia se cambió las siglas de ellas (usando el prefijo OC en vez de SC), etc.

Como ya es de costumbre (o mala costumbre) Oracle tiene un nuevo URL para la información de las certificaciones, divididas por capas de negocio: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=39

Por ejemplo, la antigua SCWCD ahora se convirtió en OCPWCD y su URL es: http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=458&get_params=p_track_id:JEE5WCD
