How to go back to the old console? - ibm-cloud

I've been using the old console for quite some time.
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/
I tried the new console, by clicking in the banner link, "New Bluemix". But would like to go back the old console again. I've tried ?direct=classic but that doesn't work. The old console is still around, but I know that eventually I won't be able to go back to the old version. I just would like to use it for now.
How do I go back to the old console?

I did some digging the the exact cookie you can delete is called bm_newexperience which has the value new. If you delete that one cookie then you can go back to the old classic experience at https://console.ng.bluemix.net/

Going incognito works for me. Not sure it's the correct route though.

I checked with the Bluemix console team and verified that the only way to revert back to the "old console" is to delete all your browser cookies.

Bluemix Blockchain Marbles app is hanging

I've gone through the steps to deploy the marbles app on Bluemix and it's running but when I go to 'create' it the 'colour' pull down doesn't populate, the 'create' button doesn't do anything and there is a 'loading...' message in the top right corner. I've tried looking at the logs but can't spot anything. A blockchain entry keeps appearing and disappearing. Any ideas?
Open the client side console logs in your browser and look for clues. Right click the page, inspect, click on the console tab. Should be something helpful in there.
Details debugging can be found here:

I managed to get it working by reinstalling it on a US instance instead of the UK one. Maybe its something to do with time zones as it was the display of the time that wasn't working even though it's UTC. I wasn't getting anywhere with devops services in the UK either.

Unable to uninstall github for mac

Github for mac is completely not working. It just brings up an xcode window with a 9 month old file in text editor.
So I tried to uninstall it using this gist:
https://gist.github.com/naomik/11245234
but it did not help: every time I go to a github link the same xcode useless window comes up.
When I click on Launch Application then the empty xcode window comes up.
If I click on Do Nothing then .. well nothing happens (it does not navigate to the github page !!)
Help needed badly on this.
Did you try to uninstall with CleanMyMac? I think it should clear all depending files so i think it can help.

Umbraco - Unable to navigate to sections other than Content after upgrade to 4.5.2

I've tried posting this on the Umbraco forums to no avail. Hoping to find some help here.
I thought I upgraded successfully from 4.0.4.2 to 4.5.2 (on my way to 4.8...) as I received no errors and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, in the backoffice, when I click on any section other than Content, I get redirected back to Content. I can manually reach each section by typing in the name of it after the # sign like: #media, but as soon as I click on a tree item, it redirects me back to Content. Any ideas would be appreciated.

You're cacheing some of the old javascript in your browser. Try clearing your cache. IE can be stubborn in this regard; preferably try in Chrome.
Personally, if your site is working under 4.5.2, I wouldn't sweat the back office issue and just continue with the upgrade to 4.8.1. There will likely be new problems to solve there anyway :) and the backoffice issue may go away.
Updating the icons via the following script fixed this problem. Links must run off the appIcon field. Not sure why this is not executed when the database is updated via the 4.5.2 upgrade.
update umbracoApp
set appIcon = '.tray' + appAlias
where appAlias IN ('content','media','users','settings','developer','member')

eclipse stop popup "Web launch already running"

I am developing in PHP with Xdebug and for some reason every now and then the debug session stops working, so i click again the debug button but it gives me this error all the time "Web launch already running", so i have to go to Debug Perspective and click "Terminate and Relaunch".
Is there a way to make eclipse automatically terminate and relaunch or launch two sessions or don't show this popup, for 2 years this popup has been bugging me xD
As noted in response to questions like this one and this one, the best current solution appears to be binding "Terminate and Relaunch" to a keyboard shortcut.
Not automatic, but at least a lot less clicking around.
I have taken care of pesky popups in Eclipse with AutoHotkey script which have worked very well. I could create an AutoHotkey script which sends specific keystrokes automatically every time there is a specific pop-up.
So the flow I had in mind was as follows :
You click on the debug button -> The Error popup appears and as soon as that happens the AutoHotKey script kicks in and automatically does what you have to do manually.
If you think that might be worth looking into then we can talk more in a Chat session somewhere. I would need some information about the Pop up using the AU3_Spy.exe bundled with the AutoHotkey Installer.
Searching on Google, I found that many people have the same problem.
Bellow are some links that help you, I think:

A good article: http://www.latenightpc.com/blog/archives/2008/05/24/a-complete-lamp-development-environment-xampp-eclipse-pdt-and-xdebug
See this, too: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/57493/
Take a look here, too: Getting error in XDEBUG
So, read and try, read and try.

ClickOnce and UserSettings

Ok, I have a ClickOnce app that I'm testing and I ask the user for a couple of pieces of information the first time they use load the app; Customer Id and Name. I then set the Properties so that they'll be saved across sessions. The property is Properties.Settings.Default["Customer ID"] and similar for name.
So I uninstall the application through control panel and reinstall the application but the settings are still there! I go and find all directories for my application and delete out the settings but the application acts like it still has them. I can even step through the debugger and see that they are still there.
How do I get rid of them all? This is very frustrating since it makes it almost impossible to test new data and to debug any first time installs.
Thanks...
I believe the user config values are stored in this location:
%APPDATA%\<AppName>\<AppName><AppConfigName_GUID>\<AssemblyVersion>\user.config
Have you checked there?
ok, in case anyone has the same problem in the future. I had set the properties in Visual Studio through the Settings.settings editor. I removed them and everything was normal again...
In answer to the general problem of removing settings when the program is reinstalled, you could add unique piece of data as well, such as the date of the executable, its checksum, or something similar.
Then check that against the saved data when you program starts. If they don't match, it's a reinstall and you can delete the stored data.
