GitEye KB: Version 1.9 update fails


Issue

GitEye version 1.9.x may fail with a time out error during its update procedure.

The error reported may resemble the example below.
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Unable to read repository at http://downloads.open.collab.net/git/giteye/release/plugins/org.eclipse.core.databinding_1.4.2.v20140729-1044.jar.
Read timed out
Unable to read repository at http://downloads.open.collab.net/git/giteye/release/plugins/org.eclipse.core.filesystem_1.4.100.v20140514-1614.jar.
Read timed out

Cause

The reason why this happens isn't easily identified.  The indication of a timeout issue though leads suspicion towards things like a slow data connection or too many packages to update for the allotted time the package manager has specified.


Solution

Repeated attempts to update the software may eventually resolve the issue.


Environment


Version GitEye Version 1.8.x
OS Windows 7
Browser Not applicable


Details

The issue doesn't appear to be stemming from a problem with the code since eventually the packages are able to finish installing and the program works once completed.  The URLs indicated in the error messages are downloadable directly from a Web browser.  This goes to support the execution time running long more than an attempt to retrieve the necessary JARs failing.

Depending on how far the current update is advancing your install, there may be quite a few entries in this error message.  Dismiss the dialog and repeat the update process.  With each successive attempt, the listing in the error dialog should shrink.  Eventually, the update will complete successfully.

PHP built-in webserver and IPv6 addresses

Though it's difficult to confirm around the Web, it appears as though the IP address scheme the built-in PHP server uses depends on the host name that's provided.  If a fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) is used, such as server.domain.tld, then the built-in server will be listening for IPv6 based requests.  If the server is started with an IPv4 address identified as the host, then it will naturally listen for IPv4 based requests. The closest to anything official around the Web was a comment in the PHP docs that only seeded this conclusion, at best.  But here it is in any case. Built-in web server http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php#120449 Ultimately, the following answer from Stack Overflow held the "universal" solution.  Thank you dew010.

HP webOS interface kudos

UPDATED 06/07/2013 Pandora no-longer makes the webOS version of its player available. While quite obviously a piece rooted in opinion, a subtle nod is offered to Palm for the excellent interface work it did with webOS .  Since it’s initial release with Sprint in June 2009, Palm quickly slipped into relative oblivion.  With the recent purchase of the company by HP coupled with new product releases set for the summer, webOS may become relevant once again.  If so, then perhaps a whole new lot of users will come to appreciate the consideration that was taken with the webOS user interface (UI). An example is the popular webOS application for the even more popular Pandora Internet radio service.  And as it turns out, the company has a collection of screen captures for the various mobile platforms that have native applications for the service.  This happens to double as a quick way to compare the interface elements of other platforms by using the same applic...

Allow Windows authentication using SQL Server driver with DBeaver

DBeaver will allow Microsoft Windows single sign on access when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server using the SQL Server driver (rather than jTDS ).  From the driver properties settings, set the integratedSecurity flag to true . Open the Connection configuration panel and choose the Driver properties section. Set the integratedSecurity flag to true . A subtle, but important step is to not provide username and password credentials to the connection.
