That's what I call an accurate error message!

Grawl posted:Thanks Microsoft, now I know what to do... Let me guess: If the icon on that line is a green checkmark it would say "Computer is a domain controller", and they didn't think that a red x next to "computer is a domain controller" would convey adequately that the computer failed this criterion. To think that we use MS's style guide for our documentation.

See the error? Can't be installed on a DC. I think it's an affirmative test that the machine is NOT a DC. So the red X is a double negative - it's not not a DC, or, rather, it is a DC.

Makes perfect sense to me as well, it failed the check "Computer is not a domain controller" Funny that it didn't check that right at the beginning before installing a bunch of .NET stuff though.

No keyboard found. Press F1 to continue. That one will actually blow your mind if you think about it too hard. Ok, so I plugged in a keyboard, is the message still valid? No? THEN WHY IS IT THERE *head explodes*

Grawl posted:Thanks Microsoft, now I know what to do... 1. It lists .NET, PowerShell, and joined-to-a-domain as the requirements. 2. Then the "readiness tool" evaluates your environment and gives you a day's worth of work making small modifications, making no complaints whatsoever about the machine itself unless you're missing .NET or PowerShell or whatever. 3. Then the installer runs, and everything goes fine. 4. Then the setup wizard says "gently caress you, go get Windows Server 2008."

"Execute BlindHO!" Awfully funny given the vendor, not so funny when you understand the BlindHO status. "Highdog is starved" makes no sense though.

I don't have a screenshot but ran into one on a webpage internal to the company I work for. A user accessed the page and tried to search for someone by name, but instead of clicking the "Click Here to Search" button, hit Enter on the keyboard and got this message: 405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. My brain stopped working for a few seconds while I tried to process exactly what the gently caress that meant. The search button still worked fine when clicked, however.

There are two different methods that are used for sending data to a server: "PUT" and "POST". Whoever coded the page is bad and somehow hosed it up, so pressing Enter uses one method and clicking Search uses the other one. It may also be differences between browsers causing the problem, but it's more than likely incompetence from your developer.

Most likely a dev issue, since everyone in our company uses IE 8 (some have other browsers but we highly advise against using them since some of our sites don't work right with them).

A ticket a friend got today: Title: Exception thrown in destructor Description: Should I be worried? gently caress you, Quickbooks. That is not a user-friendly error message, and your KB article on the supposed cause is even more wallpunch-worthy. quote:This error usually occurs when Internet Explorer is open while using QuickBooks. To avoid this error you can use a different browser such as Mozilla Firefox, if you need to use the Internet while QuickBooks is open. Sometimes changing your default browser in Windows can resolve this problem.

More errors I understand that most people probably wouldn't because they should never have to! That's an odd way of putting it, but that probably means the site is doing something in the background, like uploading a file. I get a similar error in Gmail all the time. xov posted:A ticket a friend got today: "Destructor" is programmer jargon. A destructor is what runs when a program is done with some object and needs to clean up. Probably what's happening is Quickbooks is trying to overwrite some temporary files for security, but the files are in use by Internet Explorer. Of course, that should not be happening. Quickbooks should be using its own temporary files and giving a meaningful warning if it can't delete something.

This happened when I opened Killing Floor once. This popped up instantly and then it crashed with some Steam API error. Good to see decent progress being made on that achievement though!

This appeared only once in my logs on a Cisco 6500 series switch: Apr 2 19:09:33.705 CDT: %SYSTEM_CONTROLLER-3-ERROR: Error condition detected: TM_DATA_PARITY_ERROR Apr 2 19:09:33.705 CDT: %SYSTEM_CONTROLLER-3-EXCESSIVE_RESET: System Controller is getting reset so frequently Cisco Output Interpreter: Recommended Action: If this message occured once, it is a Software parity error and then it was probably caused by some external radiation.

bort posted:This appeared only once in my logs on a Cisco 6500 series switch: Random cosmic rays are responsible for like 30-60% of all random bit flips in RAM. Regular radiation like gamma or beta can also cause this, so if your Cisco is wedged against a coolant tank of unknown provenance, you should probably check that.

One of my colleagues was working on it shortly afterward. We've all accused him of having superpowers and demand that he take on the greater responsibility of fighting crime.

I'm not surprised at how many error messages say something along the lines of "Never should have gotten here". I wish more programmers would tidy up their error handling instead of assuming that some outside side-effect could possibly cause the code to reach where it shouldn't. I bet that kind of mind-set would have programmers handle errors that should be handled but actually were not.

Zabbley posted:I'm not surprised at how many error messages say something along the lines of "Never should have gotten here". Like all things, you can make software as reliable or as brittle as you want; if you are willing to pay the costs. I was interviewing for a position at Lockheed a while ago, and the amount of code that made it to "production" was about 200-400 lines of C code per month per dev because of the insane amount of validation that goes into things like missile guidance systems. On the other hand, when prototyping where I'm willing to skip almost all error handling since to goal is just to see if there is any value, you could do that in ten minutes. Project Managers need to pick a happy compromise. Chuu fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Apr 20, 2013 |
