JEdit plugin error while loading Isabelle - isabelle

I am working with a Windows 10 device and after some work with Isabelle I get the following error:
The following plugin could not be loaded:
C:\Users\PC\Desktop\Isabelle2018\src\Tools\jEdit\dist\jars\Isabelle-jEdit.jar:
Cannot start:
*** [line 1 of "preferences"] error: bad input
I note this problem appears in this version and in a previous Windows 8 version when not switching off properly the machine.

In the Isabelle list I got an answer to this problem:
The error indicates that the $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/preferences file is in a bad state: the file is written each time Isabelle/jEdit shuts down, and switching off the computer in the middle might have corrupted it.
You can try to repair or delete that file. The location of $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on Windows is usually something like C:\Users\my_name.isabelle\Isabelle2018.
I think this problem may be encountered by other people in the community and this answer may save some time to them.

Error: "Windows can't find 'C:/PROGRA~1/'. Check the spelling and try again."

I am getting an error in R in Windows 10 about finding a directory while trying to install a package from GitHub*. Trying to troubleshoot this error led me to a few observations.
For example, both Windows Explorer and my browser can find C:/PROGRA~1, but only my browser can find C:/PROGRA~1/R, where R is installed. The specific Windows Explorer error is:
Windows can't find 'C:/PROGRA~1/R'. Check the spelling and try again.
Yet, Windows Explorer can find C:/Program Files/R no problem. And the error above is the same with C:/PROGRA~1/Adobe, C:/PROGRA~1/Google, or any other. Even more interesting, Windows Explorer can't even find the raw program files path as long as we add a simple slash at the end! So C:/PROGRA~1/ will output a similar error.
So can anyone explain to me why Windows Explorer is not able to find C:/PROGRA~1/R or C:/PROGRA~1/? Is this normal/expected? If I solve this, I can probably resolve my R error too. Thanks.
*Here is the full original error in R:
Error: Failed to install 'package' from GitHub:
create process 'C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-40~1.3/bin/x64/Rcmd.exe' (system error 267, The directory name is invalid.
) #win/processx.c:1040 (processx_exec)
Edit: My investigation revealed that it might be related to the direction of slashes... So for instance, C:/PROGRA~1\R (or even C:/PROGRA~1\) works in Windows Explorer, but only as long as the second slash is a backslash... Can this be of any help in resolving this issue? Doesn't seem like R wants to put that second slash as backslash...

I can't get Atom text editor + leiningen + proto-repl to work (for programming Clojure)

Anything that Atom + proto-repl does involves lein, so I decided to check out lein. 'lein help' works, but attempting 'lein repl' gives the following errors:
gw-mac-pro:~ gr$ lein repl
Could not find artifact proto-repl:proto-repl:jar:1.4.24 in central (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/)
Could not find artifact proto-repl:proto-repl:jar:1.4.24 in clojars (https://repo.clojars.org/)
This could be due to a typo in :dependencies, file system permissions, or network issues.
If you are behind a proxy, try setting the 'http_proxy' environment variable.
Could not resolve dependencies
I get the same set of messages when I attempt to run code from within Atom.
I've searched for hours for any kind of arcana about Atom, lein, or proto-repl, and I'm amazed that searching on 'lein error could not find artifact' continues to find nothing useful.
I'm surprised that no one has encountered this same problem. I'm running on macOS Mojave (10.14.6). Can you help me? Thanks.

Pintos - UserProg all tests fail is_kernel_vaddr()

I am doing the Pintos project on the side to learn more about operating systems. I had tons of devops trouble at first with it not running well on an 18.04 Ubuntu droplet. I am now running it on the VirtualBox image that UCCS tells students to download for pintos.
I finished project 1 and started to map out my solution to project 2. Following the instructions to create a file I ran
pintos-mkdisk filesys.dsk --filesys-size=2
pintos -- -f -q
but am getting error
Kernel PANIC at ../../threads/vaddr.h:87 in vtop(): assertion
`is_kernel_vaddr (vaddr)' failed.
I then tried running make check (all the tests). They are all failing for the same reason.
Am I missing something? Is there something I need to implement to fix this? I reread the instructions and didnt see anything?
Would appreciate help!
Thanks
I had a similar problem. My code for Project 1 ran fine, but I could not format the filesystem for Project 2.
The failure for me came from the following call chain:
thread_init() -> ... -> thread_schedule_tail() -> process_activate() -> pagedir_activate() -> vtop()
The problem is that init_page_dir is still NULL when pagedir_activate() is called. init_page_dir should have been initialized in paging_init() but this is called after thread_init().
The root cause was that my scheduler was being called too early, i.e. before the call to thread_start(). The reason for my problem was that I had built in a call to thread_yield() upon completion of every call to lock_release() which makes sense from a priority donation standpoint. Unfortunately, locks are used prior to the scheduler being ready! To fix this, I installed a flag called threading_started that bails in the first line of my thread_block() and thread_yield() functions if thread_start() has not yet been called.
Good luck!

Aptana returns "Malformed \uxxxx encoding." when debugging with PHP 5.4.x

When I try to debug or run a PHP script on my test Windows server using Aptana and PHP 5.4.24 (or the latest 5.4.x, 5.4.40), I am told "Malformed \uxxxx encoding" has occurred.
Given most material online about this error (with any Java code) refers to paths, I've tried installing this PHP version in two locations (and with an additionally different path), with no change. None of the paths contain the string "\u".
If I use PHP 5.5.12 instead, there's no error.
My production server uses 5.4.24, and I would prefer to leave it the way it is for the time being. I would like to debug using the same version of PHP.
A certain Igor appears to have had the same problem as me in July 2014: http://php.tutorialhorizon.com/how-to-debug-php-in-aptana-studio/#comment-2225
The offered solution "check your paths" hasn't helped me.

Look at the property file or the file displayed in the error message and change the backslash to forwardslash:
...\user_projects... to .../user_projects...
Or
...\uxxxx... to .../uxxxx...
\u is a reserved keyword and throws the system off.
Note: "..." and "xxxx" are depicting anything in this case. Usually the error displays a line number one line below the actual line with the issue or so-called ...\u...

It is really disappointing that so many of these issues with java plague many of us and so many articles send people on a wild goose chase. Hope this helps someone.
Are there paths with /usr in them somewhere? The windows version of PHP can do odd things with slashes and backslashes. Without seeing your config it is hard to say.

How can I resurrect my Windows Store app after several packages fail to load?

The last time I had my Windows Store app open (last night), I had a XAML error in it. I (tried to) open it tonight to try to fix it, but got all kinds of errors about things not being able to be loaded. Here are the important excerpts from the ActivityLog.xml file:

I shut VS down, reopened it and the project and, although I didn't see all those err msgs, and the project was ostensibly open, there was nothing in the Solution Explorer (no files displayed). I tried opening MainPage via File > Open, but that just resulted in another err msg.
The only other thing that changed the last time I had the project open was that I updated SQLite from version 3.8.7.1 to 3.8.7.2
What could be the solution (no pun intended)?
UPDATE
On trying to shut down Visual Studio, I got over and over again: "No exports were found that match the constraint...(bla bla bla)" until I had to stop it via Ctrl+Alt+Del
UPDATE 2
Here's what's even more bizarre: I can open the project and, although Solution Explorer is completely empty/no files
visible, if I build the project via Ctrl+Shift+B, it does give me the errors in the Error List (XAML errors in MainPage.xaml).
2-clicking them brings up nothing in the editor, though.
If I try to open MainPage.xaml, I get this:
But, although I just saved this file (the screen shot above), the date on it is 10/19/2014 - more than two months in the past. What the...?!?
What must I do to get this back to normal?
UPDATE 3
I do see this with the Team Explorer tab open (this app is not under version control):
Page '3185ed96-1cbd-4381-a439-636973542e50' not found.
I fixed the XAML issue by opening MainPage.xaml in Notepad ++ and changing the XAML around. I was then able to successfully build the app in Visual Studio, but trying to run the app caused VS to crash and then start up again (still with no files in Solution Explorer).
UPDATE 4
Now I get, "Package Designer Package failed to load" when I try to open MainPage.xaml via File > Open in VS 2013...
UPDATE 5
Now I can run the app (sort of); F5 causes the splash screen to display, and then it just goes gray-black. When I Alt+F4 to shut that down, VS starts back up again (apparently after shutting down - I intended to only shut down my running app, not Visual Studio.
AutoHistory tells me:
An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\Clay\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml".
Exception details:

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Platform.WindowManagement.WindowFrame.ConstructContent()
Anyway, I then notice that I do have a (literal) red flag, and mashing it shows me an "Renew your developer license" message.
I was able to update my dev license, but my solution is still wacky in the same ways as before.
UPDATE 6
Answering Walt Ritscher, I get this in AutoHistory on starting VS (no solution opened):
An exception was encountered while constructing the content of this frame. This information is also logged in "C:\Users\Clay\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\ActivityLog.xml".

Then, when opening another project that was working fine the last time I had it open, it, too, shows no files in the Solution Explorer. If I try to run it, I get that same "No exports were found" err msg.
So VS itself is hosed, it seems. What need I do? Uninstall/reinstall?
It seems likely that your VS install is hosed. You can try a repair first, before doing a reinstall.
last week I have faced the similar problem with my Visual Studio . I think these problems occurs due to the Pc Cleaners/Pc problem fixer and others like that. I just reinstalled the windows and visual studio and the same code executed fine.
So VS itself is hosed, it seems. What need I do? Uninstall/reinstall?
I would definitely try that. However, first I would copy the project to another machine with VS installed and try there. If it works on another machine then there is a problem on the first machine, possibly VS, possibly some extension or add-in. If it doesn't work on another machine then there is a problem with the code.
