I got this error and found the solution on winscp.net docs.
Edit the session
Change File Protocol to SCP instead of SFTP

Yeah! Might have to do something with the Audio Settings. Go to Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings and change the Speakers setting from Headphones to Speakers (or vice versa). In my case I was on a Docking station and had headset connected to it and I needed to have it set to speakers.

Pretty simple. You need to Bookmark the FTP site and then open it from GEdit.
On Ubuntu 12.04
- Open the Home Folder
- Go -> Location…
- Enter the FTP site [ftp://www.someftpsite.com]
- Enter credentials [select Remember forever according to your choice]
- Bookmark -> Add Bookmark…
- Save this location as a bookmark
- From GEdit Text Editor, you will now be able to Open the files from the FTP site
You will now be able to from GEdit, open and edit remote files and save them directly to the FTP Site

Thinking of upgrading your old 80’s style Kitchen and need an Ikea style Kitchen? Or is your wife pressuring/whipping your butt to take on this new project? Well, it’s quite a process and here’s a breakdown. And it’s NOT Cheap either (just so you know)
So here are the people involved (at least in the Bay Area – Silicon Valley, CA):
- Your General Contractor
- Traemand – Ikea Partner for Design & Cabinet installation
- United Marble & Granite – Ikea Partner for Countertops
- Plumber, Electrician or your General Contractor
Now here’s the step by step process – Yes. It has to be in this order and can take several weeks.
- DESIGN : Get a designer (Ikea partner – Traaemand) to design the Kitchen and come up with parts — $200 just to design it
- MATERIALS : From the design, buy all the cabinets etc. from Ikea and have it delivered (Best time is when Ikea has a 20% discount SALE)
- APPLIANCES : You might need to buy appliances from Ikea, Fry’s, Sears etc.
- DEMOLITION : (Week 1) Get a contractor to demolish your current kitchen
- NO KITCHEN : (Week 1-4) Prepare to live on Junk Food/Take Out
- CABINET INSTALLATION : (Week 1) Get Traemand folks to install the cabinets (or have your contractor do this)
- COUNTER TOP/SINK INSTALLATION : (Week 2-4) Work with UM&G to template the counter top and then have it cut and installed. You can find “other” places to speed up this step.
- APPLIANCE INSTALLATION : (Week 1-3) Have your General Contractor or the Store (Fry’s/Sears) install appliances
- PLUMBING : (Week 4) Get water to your sink and refrigerator. UM&G will not drill holes that go past the granite. So if there’s plywood your General Contractor need to take care of it and do the plumbing.
- ELECTRIAL : (Week 2-4) Gas/220V power supply etc. depending on your situation. Pain in the a$$ – Involve your General Contractor or Electrician
- BACK IN BUSINESS : (Week 4) Now you can cook at your own place
- BACKSPLASH : (Week 4-N) You might need to Home Depot this and have your contractor install it or do it yourself.
- PAINTING : (Week 4-N) Just do it yourself. Enough money spent alreadyl
There you go – Freaking pain in the a$$. It’s a complicated process, but Ikea is a name you can trust and it looks pretty cool (to me) in the end. So it’s worth the wait and the pain. Things can be buggy at times, but yeah just manage the project well and if you have a good contractor you should be good to go.
Here are the photos.

It’s not surprising to me that after the pain of setting up Oracle, I would be running into further errors at random periods.
[oracle@sk-redhat bin]$ ./lsnrctl start
LSNRCTL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.2.0 – Production on 03-AUG-2012 10:44:45

System parameter file is /home/oracle/OraHome11g/network/admin/listener.ora
Log messages written to /home/oracle/OraHome11g/log/diag/tnslsnr/sk-redhat/listener/alert/log.xml

TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
TNS-00584: Valid node checking configuration error
Listener failed to start. See the error message(s) above…
This time the fault was NOT on ORACLE issue, but rather the IT folks that had made some changes to the VMs and IP addresses etc. and my Invited nodes were not being recognized.
Check whether the entries in the following files are correct.
[oracle@sk-redhat bin]$vi /home/oracle/OraHome11g/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
[oracle@sk-redhat bin]$ su root
[root@sk-redhat bin]$ vi /etc/hosts
Ensure that IP Addresses and Hostnames and respective mappings are all accurate and everything is reachable.

I Did NOT have this problem when my Synergy Server was on Windows. When I switched my Synergy Server to my Red Hat Linux box, I noticed my Back/Forward mouse buttons didn’t work.
After searching around for a bit, adding the following lines to your synergy.conf file fixed this.
$ sudo vi /etc/synergy.conf
section: options
mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
mousebutton(4) = ;
mousebutton(5) = ;
end
So with my current setup (sk-win7 <-> sk-redhat <-> sk-ubuntu) with sk-redhat being my Synergy Server, my /etc/synergy.conf looks like:
section: screens
sk-redhat:
sk-win7:
sk-ubuntu:
end
section: aliases
sk-win7:
10.4.1.1
end
section: links
sk-redhat:
left = sk-win7
right = sk-ubuntu
sk-win7:
right = sk-redhat
sk-ubuntu:
left = sk-redhat
end
section: options
mousebutton(6) = keystroke(WWWBack)
mousebutton(7) = keystroke(WWWForward)
mousebutton(4) = ;
mousebutton(5) = ;
end
After adding this section, I was able to get my mouse back/forward buttons to work on all of my boxes.
