Can no longer copy paste since installing High Sierra - macos-high-sierra

This apply to all the applications I've tested.
Command V / Command C doesn't work. Nor does using the Edit -> Copy/Paste
The only suggestions I found was to boot in safe mode, but this didn't resolve the problem.

Pentaho 5: Repository connection window not showing up

I am able to open a Pentaho version 5 Spoon session on my new laptop but when I clicked on Tools -> Repository -> Connect, nothing comes up (no connection window).
However, I am using the same executable on my old laptop and there its working without any issues. I have also downloaded a fresh executable of version 5 on my new laptop but it didn't work as well. I am wondering what could be causing this.
Any pointers will be very helpful.
Thanks.
As suggested by #Working Hard.. in the comments, I installed jdk8 (I was using jdk10 earlier) and created a new environment variable PENTAHO_JAVA_HOME as explained in the below URL and added the path accordingly.

How do I setup and run gfortran on Xcode 8 and Sierra

I modified my old fortran code to run on my Mac. Not having an application to develop I left it alone for the last 2.5 years. Now I have an application that I want to write but find that I am generating some error messages. I assume that Xcode and Sierra have changed things enough that the gfortran I am trying to run is not configured correctly, or they just don't match.
I know Xcode was not written for fortran but some of my old code is in a project. I have no idea if was an attempt to use it as a development spot or just a holder for the code. Can someone point me in a direction that will get me going again. I am presently trying to use Terminal but without full success.
The best way to get your code running is to compile gfortran. It will work just fine with macOS Sierra - I have tested it in the past.
All you have to do is to go here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortran
And compile the code. Simply download sources:
https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranSource
> ./configure
> make
and that's it. You can also take a look here:
gfortran is not working on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

Problems with Octave on Windows 8: crashes after any error

I have installed (and re-installed) Octave 3 times on Windows 8, and I still can't get it right. The first and most obvious problem is that the prompt is missing; the screen only shows the flashing underscore that follows the prompt. This is not a major problem since the system properly responds to commands.
The major problem is that Octave crashes whenever it encounters a syntax error, instead of politely giving a diagnostic. This makes for extremely tedious software development.
Is there a way around this problem, or do we just have to wait for one side or the other to come up with an accommodation?
I encountered the same problem. I solved it by this:
create a shortcut to octave.exe, then right click->property-> change the "target" to something like:
C:\Program Files\Octave\Octave3.6.*_gcc*.*.*\bin\octave.exe -i --line-editing
Then it won't exit if u have syntax errors.
I don't understand the meaning of the parameters yet.
reference:
http://exciton.eo.yzu.edu.tw/~lab/?p=1121
Type octave --help can check the meaning of parameters.
-i also --interactvie, to force Octave interactive behavior.
Maybe Octave run at non-interactive mode at default, that means prompt should not be shown and it should terminate immediately when encountered error when reading a file.
I don't know if this will solve your problem, or if this is too bloated of a solution for you, but I use Octave on Windows 7 through Cygwin without any problems.
If you can't get Octave to run on Windows 8, you may consider running Octave through Linux via computer virtualization technology (virtual computer). Two, off the top of my head that you could use are VirtualBox by Oracle or VMWare Player
Once you have it installed, you can go to any number of sites that have pre-built Linux images that you can download and then run inside of Windows 8.X. Do a Google search of for 'Virtualbox images' or as 'VMWare appliances'. You can then download and use that to run the lastest version of Octave. I hope that helps.
Cheers,

Salesforce IDE starting error

I have installed the standalone IDE for salesforce force.com platform. On trying to start the ide i am getting "JVM terminated. Exit Code=-1" error. Any idea what this error code means ?
This is a common loading error for force.com IDE.
There are different solutions. Try anyone of these:
A) Change the workspace location.
OR
B) (i). Install Eclipse 3.6 for Java Developers (Helios) from the link http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-developers/heliossr2
Click your operating system from the window on your right.
(ii). Using the below link, follow the instructions to install Force.com IDE plugin for Eclipse 3.6 http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Force.com_IDE_Installation_for_Eclipse_3.6
OR
C) In the default Force.com IDE install directory:
C:\Program Files\salesforce.com\Force.com IDE
Locate the config file:
forceide
And comment out the following at the end of the file (note the leading #):
#-vmargs
#-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
#-Xms256m
#-Xmx1024m
#-XX:PermSize=128M
#-XX:MaxPermSize=512M
I hope it works now.
Cheers!
This could be because of various reasons. Say, if you do not have enough memory (RAM) as specified in config file(forceide.ini). As said in this link Force.com IDE – JVM terminated , probably reduce MaxPermSize in config file to say 256M and check.
This exact thing happened to me a few days ago.
My setup is:
Windows 7 64 bit
jre7 64 bit
Force.com IDE 64 bit
When I ran the java auto update to update my jre it installed the 32 bit version (a whole other gripe). So I manually downloaded the 64 bit version of the jre installed it over the top of the 32 bit version and the IDE started working again.

MonoDevelop -- GTK Designer just shows a blank square?

I am having problems getting the GTK designer to work with MonoDevelop. I tried 2.4 on Arch Linux and it gave this problem. Then I tried 2.2 on OpenBSD and it gives the exact same problem. Both machines are 64bit.
Instead of having a window to drag things on I just have a blank square:
alt text http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4766/monodevelop.png
The tutorials I've seen look similar to this though:
alt text http://monodevelop.com/#api/deki/files/142/=Stetic_Tutorial_06.jpg?size=bestfit&width=700&height=425
So what gives? With my blank square I can't drag anything onto it, not a VBox or other container even. It will not react to anything.
Am I missing some sort of GTK# configuration or what? I find it highly improbable that both OSs' packages I tried are broken. Also, I've attached a (huge) bounty to this because this is a pretty big issue for me.
The console output from the starting of Mono and including me trying to drag an element onto the gray box is here
Update
Ok, so I've finally gotten a bit closer to solving the mystery. I use Fluxbox as my window manager usually. Well I tried using both KDE and Gnome-Session and both of them cause MonoDevelop to work properly(though still missing the window border, you could at least drag components onto it). Now my question is what makes Fluxbox not work for it?
I have the same problem in openSUSE 11.3 x64 KDE using Mono JIT compiler version 2.6.7 (tarball Wed Jul 14 18:00:23 UTC 2010) downloaded from here
type -a monodevelop returns:

This can be solved by adding an environment variable in your .bashrc file from your home directory.

To find if that library exists on your systems use:
sudo find / -name libgtkembedmoz.so

(from this bug report this library is contain in the Mozilla's XUL Runner package, but in newer versions I don't know if it's still there, I had to use libgtkembedmoz.so provided by Slickedit which was installed in /opt/slickedit/bin/mozilla/)

I get the exact same error using Monodevelop 2.4, and I think this could be either from a broken GTK# installation or from a bug in Monodevelop,
Your result is the same as mine, see here. I suggest compiling MonoDevelop from Github and/or using a newer version of gtk-sharp/gdk-sharp
This part

If this does not resolve the problem submitting a bug report is the next option. Although this is somehow strange, since I managed to complete the same tutorial using Kubuntu 10.04 LTS 64 bit a few weeks ago.
Uh, that is the designer. If the toolbox didn't show up, go to View->Pads->Toolbox to bring it up.
Note that this Gtk, you can't just drop a button or textbox on the design surface. You have to drop a container control first, and then can place buttons and such inside the container.
set global gtk theme to default
check all bindings depends
try start monodevelop from console and post output on pastebin
"Now my question is what makes Fluxbox not work for it? " remember the GTK protect was made for GNOME project, all the libraries are made to work on that Desktop. so need to see all the dependencies to run it property
