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.

Skype Now Supports Emergency Calls In the US

With the latest round of updates to Skype , it was noticed today that the instant messaging and VoIP phone service now supports emergency calling in the United States. The release notes for the most recent update to the Android version of Skype indicated that the service now allows calls to be made to US emergency calling systems via 911. Telephony services like Skype, Google Voice , and Vonage typically don't offer this emergency calling ability without some sort of intermediate step like deferring to the phone's default dialer, as is the case with Voice, or setting up a physical address location ahead of time which is how Vonage handles it. The indication is that Skype will handle the 911 calls natively, but when verifying with an account that does not have a Skype phone number assigned to it, it was found that the instructions in the FAQ explaining how to turn on emergency calling are not accurate. Emergency calling support in Skype for the United States Interestingly, th...

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.

Chrome Itself Logs Into Google When Logged Into Company's Services

Google has taken the liberty of logging Chrome into the user's account whenever logged in to any Google service. Some time ago, Google introduced the ability to have its browser, Chrome, log into the user's Google account whenever the user authenticated for any Google service. That is, log in to Google Docs, for example, and the browser would be logged in as well. The pitch was that this relationship between being logged in to a service and the browser also being logged in, can help mitigate confusion when a user logs out of a Google service but fails to realize the browser is still logged in. The mystery can be eliminated if the browser keeps the two in the same state automatically. There is the added benefit that the browser would be better able to synchronize the user experience across each browser that was also logged into the user's account. For example, Chrome on a mobile device could have access to the history from Chrome on a laptop. The idea is not nove...
