If ssh/nano isn't working correctly for you in Lion, check this out: http://www.vanlune.com/2011/08/skipping-or-jumping-characters-via-ssh-in-nano/ quote:I ran into irritating problem editing a file with Nano over SSH using Terminal. Characters repeats or skips when typing rapidly, deleting or using the backspace. Neither my remote server was updated neither nano so I concluded that it was caused by my newly installed OS X Lion - 10.7. I found a solution by going the the Preferences of the Terminal.app and going to the Settings tab. I use the Basic Profile. I opened the Advanced tab of the Basic Profile and changed the "Declare terminal as" combo to xterm-color.

I understand that iTunes Match is in beta, but is anyone having issues where, after uploading/syncing songs, you get duplicates in the list which are entirely grayed out and unable to be downloaded? A couple albums work perfectly fine, and if you delete the local files, they are able to be downloaded from iTunes, but in a lot of cases, you get this other issue. I wonder if it's because the system can't detect the album yet or what, but I figured I'd check to see if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

What's the hotkey for bold/italics/underline in Word 2011? I've googled this and found it's supposedly the same as in the windows version (ctrl + b etc) but it just won't work. Anyone know how to fix this?

Sulk posted:I wish Active Directory binding worked correctly in Lion. I've been having a lot of trouble setting it up on a number of machines; a bunch connected after I found some workarounds, but now I have at least a couple which are giving me trouble and won't connect to the authentication server. From developer chatter, I've heard that 10.7.2's fixed a lot of this (and apparently has drivers for the new MBA's and Mini's, which is nice) and that binding works properly again, although search paths working properly is still touch and go. Out of curiosity, what workarounds were you using to bind onto AD?

Is there a way to make mounted disk images always open with a full toolbar? I remember in 10.5 they did this, but starting in 10.6 I would have to manually turn that view option on.

Mercurius posted:I've been having problems binding to AD at all since I updated to 10.7.1. In 10.7.0 I could bind to AD fine but had to manually set the search paths or it'd never authenticate. 10.7.1 can't even find a DC to bind to at all. I did a whole step-by-step write-up in case co-workers in my department needed help, but funny enough, I found that when it worked, it was in 10.7.1, but here's what I wrote: 1) Ensure that all system software is up-to-date. As of this writing (8/26/2011), the most recent version is 10.7.1. 2) Set up the computer's name via Sharing in the System Preferences. Turn on the options for Remote Login and Remote Management (all options under this should be fine to check off), asll well. 3) The next step is critical and is seemingly necessary to do, as of the present: as the admin account hosted locally on the machine, open Terminal and type sudo bash. You will be asked for a password; enter the admin password. Next, after passing through authorization, enter the following command: scutil --set HostName "[computerName]" This will set the host name, the same as what you entered before, into the system. A current issue with Lion seems to involve the host name not changing, and it must be done at a root level. You can verify the name change by entering hostname into the prompt. 4) Restart the computer and log in as admin again. This restart allows the system to refresh with the local, correct hostname being used. 5) Open System Preferences again and go to Users & Groups. Select Login Options on the panel (you will likely have to unlock it by clicking the lock in the bottom left to gain authorization). First, under the two radio options for 'Display login window as:," change it to the second, which is 'Name and password.' This will allow for login from anyone on the domain (or locally). 6) then click Join next to 'Network Account Server.' A window will drop down and ask for input for the Active Directory Domain; enter baldwinschool.org. The Computer ID is the same as entered the prior two times; it should already be entered into the field. In the Advanced Options beneath, under the Administrative tab, the 'Allow administration by:' option can be checked off. This allows for administrators to authorize changes on the computer by using their domain username and password instead of requiring the local administrator account. 7) Click 'Bind...," and the system should connect to the network after a moment. These System Preferences windows can then be closed. 8) Restart if desired; users should now be able to log in to the network remotely. If a red dot appears next to the user name in the login window, it should go away after a moment, if the network is connecting wirelessly.

Authentication happens on the directory itself, not the connecting client, right? I must be misunderstanding the problem. (Note: I don't really have any experience with LDAP beyond Active Directory, which is a whole different beast)

Without much ado posted:I've not used Boxee, but with Plex there is a preference that allows you to capture the IR remote. If Boxee doesn't have that option I think there are some third party apps that can do that sort of thing, but I have no experience with them so I can't really address that. Turns out there's an option in Boxee that turns it's IR support as "always on" which makes menu load it rather than Front Row. So I'm just dumb.

I have an incredibly "newbie" question since I'm still learning OSX: When I upgraded Skype to the latest version on OSX Lion, Launchpad decided to display two Skype icons: 1. Skype 2. .skype_upgrade How on earth do I get rid of #2? See screenshot for what I'm referring to. I tried dragging to the trash, I tried holding my mouse on it like you would on iOS, I tried Googling - nothing.

That or see if Skype deletes it on next launch. In theory that file is located in an Applications folder somewhere, either in the root of your hard drive or your user folder.

@chimz - I tried clicking and holding and it doesn't allow me to do anything with the icon (like SWSP said, it's just for App Store apps). @SWSP - That's the weird thing: it wont actually show me any files in Spotlight. When I open the applications folder the file isn't there. It's only appearing in Launchpad. EDIT: Okay this is odd. So I decided to just uninstall Skype. This left the .Skype_Upgrade icon in Launchpad but removed the main Skype icon. I then tried clicking and holding the icon, and now it shows a little X that allowed me to delete it. It did not allow this when Skype was still installed! Jeratain fucked around with this message at 06:08 on Aug 31, 2011 |

The reason you couldn't see the file anywhere was because it's a hidden file, as all files whose names begin with a "." are. I have no idea why it let you delete it only after you uninstalled Skype, however.

It reads like Lion is letting people access the LDAP directory without verifying credentials, but I don't see how that would be possible. Authentication happens on the directory itself, not the connecting client, right? I must be misunderstanding the problem. Yeah, that Reg article is terrible. Apparently what's actually happening (putting together the pieces from several other sources and a couple colleagues who have tried reproducing it) is that Lion isn't validating the password again for repeated logins on the same client system. So your machine's bound to an LDAP server, and you sign in as network user bobdobbs with password splendid. Lion will verify that splendid is the correct password and allow you to log in to the client machine. You're done, you log out. You/your coworker/Julian Assange come along to the same client machine and log in as bobdobbs. This time, no matter what password is entered, Lion will accept it and log you back into the client machine. Or at least that's what I've pieced together. From my understanding, this doesn't affect anything except client machine logins where you're using LDAP as the auth source. If you're storing sensitive files on local machines or doing something stupid with network shares it may become a wider issue, but from the sound of things this isn't nearly what the Reg and the echo chamber it's created are positioning it as. Still a stupid problem and a security issue. Molten Llama fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Aug 31, 2011 |

Sulk posted:Great List of steps  In my specific case, it fails at the Bind step with either a 'can't find a valid authentication server' error or an 'unable to bind to the specified domain' message, even when I specify a DC to bind to. Edit: Actually, I figured I'd give this a go on my own laptop (also running 10.7.1) over VPN and it's worked fine without me doing anything other than opening Directory Utility and binding through there. Maybe I've broken something when building our SOE image that I deploy through NetRestore. Time for more testing tomorrow. Mercurius fucked around with this message at 10:15 on Aug 31, 2011 |

Mercurius posted:That's a really awesome guide for binding a Mac to AD, but unfortunately for me, I'm already doing all of that stuff and still no dice I get similar error messages, unable to connect to with server or can't store password. Repairing permissions does nothing, it seems, unless it can't be done from an account. It's really frustrating because I really want/need to get them more easily connected. It seemed like a bunch of them conneted at first, and then the rest didn't. I have no idea what the deal is and how to resolve it barring waiting for 10.7.2. What do you do for VPN? Cisco or something? The VPN we usually use is Windows only so I need another solution. double sulk fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Aug 31, 2011 |

That would probably explain why this hasn't completely exploded wide open. I'm still shocked that it's taken Apple this long (and counting) to address the issue. As big of an Apple "fanboy" I am, there's no white knighting this one.

I'm not sure if this has to do with upgrading to Lion or my college's network, but for some reason Mail.app has been taking forever (up to an hour for a 5Mb file) to send email attachments. It receives just fine, but my outgoing bandwidth has come to almost a complete stop. Even emails without attachments take between 20-30 seconds to send. Can anyone recommend a fix to this? I know it's not our upload speed, because the dropbox I set up to get around the problem (I send larger PDFs and Vectorworks files to my office on a daily basis) has been uploading just fine.

Is there a webmail interface to test out? And what does the Activity window show (cmd-opt-0 [zero])? My wild guess would be that maybe you hit some quota or limit for mail clients and you're getting capped. Perhaps something is stuck in the sent mail queue and loving things up, I know that's been an issue on Mac and iOS Mail at times for some people.

It could also be your campus mail server. Might be worth a call to the local helpdesk to see if they have any other users reporting the same issues. They are probably going to have you try a different mail client, so I would recommend setting up Thunderbird and trying there so that you can beat them to it.
