Are you guys serious about supporting Red Hat EL?

Then make your software into .rpm format
While I can understand that it would take a fair bit of effort to put the whole of oracle server into .rpm format, the instant client, version 10.2.x.y has been out for a YEAR and it's still not available as an rpm file.
If you can't be bothered to support rpm format, how can you honestly expect me to take your pronouncement that you will be "supporting" RHEL seriously.
We've got a RHCE working here that made an RPM for us in an afternoon, and Oracle hasn't managed to do it in a year. I can only imagine how slow REAL support for REAL problems will be with RHEL.

Three notes.
1) Nothing against Oracle, or their commitment to this, but the rpms listed above are part of the install for Enterprise Linux, which is really just a copy from source of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (with some extras like OCFS), including their installer and everything, just rebranded and repackaged. Now Oracle would definitely not go through the hassle of changing the delivered format, as there is no reason to do so, as it means changing the entire install AND update architecture.
2) If you look on the install listing, you will see the OCFS, which means it is delivered as an RPM...so this answers the, "yes, Oracle knows how to produce an RPM".
3) I personally would love to see at least the major product lines be deliverable via RPM or some text based installer method. I do a lot of remote work...remote GUIs are not kind.

  • CS 5.5.2 and still no GTX480 support for Mecury Engine?What are you guys smoking when supporting 470

    Never buying a Adobe product again. I'm in supporting for death of Flash. This is gone too far. I'm pissed to the core with Adobe. I would rather have FCP do the job than this crap where i don't get support.

    Meetajhu,
    MPE with GPU acceleration does indeed speed up both renders and encoding (when exporting from Premiere Pro 5/5.5) by a factor of generally between 1.5 and 1.8. See the following thread to better understand what I mean by this:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3459631?tstart=0
    I just ran a test with all files on a single drive and to export 7.25 minutes of AVCHD to MPEG2-DVD (NTSC, progressive, wide, HQ) and comparing HW assisted vs. SW only I get:
    w/ GTX 580 = 90% CPU + 54% GPU (takes 1:21)
    software only = 98% CPU + 0% GPU (takes 2:00)
    As you and others point out, when using MPE w/ GPU can speed up the time required for "Timeline Rendering" by up to a factor of infinity, but that can be useless if only doing a "render effects in timeline" (Enter key) is not enough rendering for your hardware to provide smooth playback from the timeline!
    For example, if you have a timeline that show fully "red", as the AVCHD example above does on my PC, then PPro will force a partial render before it will even play back the clip (even though on my PC it plays flawlessly by simply pressing the spacebar). Then, when I shift over to "MPE with GPU accelaration" the whole timeline shows a yellow bar indicating that it is ready for playback without any rendering.
    Finally, try to give PPro a chance; FCP had years of being at the top, but it is PPro's time now!

  • UBER ANGERY TECHNICIAN..... WHAT ARE YOU GUYS THINKING!!!

    Hi I've been in the business of end-user repair, training and servicing for about 20 years.  I've owned computers from every major manufacture on the market and I've repaired computers from every single manufacture on the market.  This will be the second time in my life that I've actualy taken the time to register and post to a manufacturer forum....
    Today I serviced an IBM Lenovo PC Model#41V9706 Like any intelligent technician I backed up all the customers irreplaceable data prior to beginning, and was informed that the customer had NO disks to speak of for their system.  At first I thought, "ahh, common customer disguarding their important disks... As usual, But then I looked at his face and realized he was  65 and rich... Any way I found the restore application on the hard drive, ran it and created a boot disk.  I then proceeded to try to restore from the backups on the drive.  Didn't work (Great job btw on making good working backups....)  Finally I did a manufacture restore and the @#$@ing thing deleted the entire drive BEFORE it told me that I needed more disks to do the manufacture restore.  Are you guys out of your mind creating a program that is so backward that it doesn't even tell you that with out the disks it leaves the system completely useless?  As of yet all of the lenovo software is now gone, I've had to install a fresh and blank copy of windows using the customers install key and NOW I can't even get their factory software back onto the system because a copy of it doesn't appear to exist. 
    I'm sorry to be so frank but what the heck kind of restore program deletes all the backups before it tells you it can't help you?!  Even windows doesn't do that.  If I am ever to recommend or endorse another IBM product it will need to show some intelligence in it's design and include fail-safes or at least some kind of warning system to let people know that it is completely useless before it deletes data.  I am in the process of contacting customer service about this but I am not hopeful as my experience shows that for a small fee of $49.99 I might have the software replaced... What a royal piece of crap. 
    Your backup product receives a lousy 2 in my book your only redeeming qualities are it's ease of use and it's ability to work when windows doesn't. 
    Jess

    call lenovo 800 in your country to get the original software disk and drivers, if you are in warranty time you get no fee to paid, and is 3 to 5 days to receive the disks

  • Are you guys going to primarily be using iBooks for epurchases?

    I love the iBook store because it's so elegant to use and vastly prefer it to the Kindle app. The integrated dictionary and "pages to next chapter" are the killer features for me. But the Kindle so far has the wider selection and cheaper prices for ebooks. They also have a web broswer unlike the iBooks store. There's this one book I'm thinking about pre-ordering http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-ebook/dp/B003JTHXN6)and I'm not even sure if it's gonna come out to the iBook store soon enough (or even at all) :-/ What do you guys think about iBooks compared to the other ebook alternatives?

    At this point I prefer to read in iBooks and have purchased a few books from there and also loaded epub books I already had.
    But as you have noticed, their current selection is weaker - primarily with regards to older titles and Random House (who did wish to sign up with the "Agency Model" that Mr. Jobs insisted on). Then again Amazon has still not settled their "differences" with Penguin, and those books are on the iBookstore.
    And B&N is AWFULLY SLOW in releasing their iPad app (can't stand the pixelated text of the iPhone app when used on the iPad).
    But the differences between the three apps - at least when B&N gets off their butts - would for me make iBooks a preference. (I also like the two page view when holding the iPad horizontally, something the Kindle uses have been asking for also.) But if I want a book and it is available in one of the other stores and not in iBooks, well.....

  • How are you guys powering your laptops in your cars ???

    Hi guys,
      Although I have been using computers since the first pc appeared, I only recently decided to get a laptop.  I got a Lenovo B560 and have been absolutely delighted with it. 
     However, I am perplexed at the fact that there does not seem to be any easy options for using the laptop in the car on long trips etc ?  I do not see any type of 12 volt adapter listed in the accessories ??  A google search shows a few "generic" brand power converters but I have always been leary of using anything but oem type equipment.
     Anyway, how are you guys powering your machines while mobile ??
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Your tip size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm,  19volts, and your current adapter is 90watts, right?
    Your tip size is the same as what is in the y450, y460, y550p, y550, y560, and the y730.
    The y730 is listed under the adapter listed above as taking the 4R 4319 tip, which is the same size as yours.
    The tip, Pt. # 46 4319 is listed as an optional tip for the ultraslim adapter, Pt. #4IN8460, that tip has to be ordered separately from the adapter, it doesn't come with it.
    Scroll to the bottom of the link for the adapter and you'll see the listing for the 19 volt tip, pt. #4R 4319. 
    All this is assuming that you have integrated graphics.

  • Firefox 4 Beta crashes everytime I open it. Then I'm forced to close the program and it won't let me restart it since it says it's already running. Which isn't true. I'm done trying it. Do you guys know about this problem?

    Everytime I start Firefox 4 beta it crashes. I usually can visit one site on the web (doesn't matter what site) and then it locks up. The only thing that works on the browser then is the close button. After clicking the close button I'll try to restart the browser and I'll get an error message saying it can't open Firefox because it's already open. Which is a bunch of BS. The only I can get Firefox started again is to restart my computer. This is so frustrating that I've given up trying. Hopefully you guys know about this bug and can do something about it. I wasn't trying to post a question here I just wanted to make sure you guys heard about this problem.

    yeah it is the gayest thing that happens :S what i do is turn off the internet, then open it, then turn on internet, then use it. :S OR make your homepage a tab.

  • Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y'a

    Hi there how are you guys out there of this forum? I got a question for y’all
    I wanted to know how I could record different folders using iTunes
    Cause when recorded 2000 thongs on the DVD
    There were 2000 songs to go through
    So I really wanted to have had folders and then the music recorded inside them
    So I could get right to where I wanted real quickly
    Could anyone please teach me how to do that real quickly?
    Can we do it with iTunes?
    I know we can do it with Nero.

    1) Go to file, select new playlist. Creat the playlaist.
    2) Download your music into iTunes.
    NOTE: CHECK 'Recently Added' before you download your music.
    If the select boxes has a check in them, turn it off by
    holding down the 'ctrl' key and selecting one of the
    checked boxes. This shold turn off all the checks.
    It would be better to clear 'Resently Add' of all
    previous downloads, but I don't know how to do that
    yet.
    3) under 'PLAYLIST' on the right, select 'Recently Add'.
    all of your song should show there with a check in the selection
    box.
    4)Hold the shift key and select the frist (selete records name),
    then the last recorded tune. All of the recordings shouls light
    up blue.
    5) While holding the 'shift' key, drag one of the records to your new
    playlist. All of the blue highlighted song will transfer to the new
    playlist.

  • Hey how are you guys listen i have an iphone 4s the one i use with the H20 CARRIEr and i trying to enable the option call forwarding and when i type tho number i go back and i notice to the call forwarding it turning off as soon i back to the main menu ?

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • *** are you guys doing???

    I am getting really tired of the constant switching between different display modes!!!!  What the **** are you guys thinking?!?! I always choose "list by release date" Sometimes you can list the TV shows appropriately by release date. Other times, iTunes list them by day of the week. Finally, just now, you can only list them by some other - have no idea - method!!!  This is totally frustrating. BE CONSISTENT!!!  I am getting ready to just say the **** with iTunes and go back to comcast. Seriosuly. This is untenable!!  Fix it and be consistent or goodbye!!!!!!

  • Iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    iba allow others to make text edits. What workflow are you guys using to allow others to make text edits once the iBook has been layed out and formatted?  Is it too late? Do I need to export txt then reimport the editted text and reformat it all again?

    Hi Ken,
    Thanks for the reply. The project I am working on is a test project for a customer. They could potentially want a number of their educational subjects presented as an interactive text book. The intent of this first project with them is to establish a logical workflow that will allow us to efficiently estimate costs and allow for review throughout the design process. Having worked with customers on creative projects in the past I can anticipate that they will want a number of changes made once they see a working version of the interactive text book.
    It is a grim reality that no project can be fully edited and planned prior to working on it and I know revisions and changes are always made once the customer can see their product. It is ok with me if there is no easy way to pass the text back and forth from the customer and me without having to reformat everything but I just want to know that is the way it works in order to provide a realistic time estimate for the project.
    My hope was I would be able to export the formatted text, allow them to make edits and then reimport that formatted text. The style sheets I am using are from one of the iBooks Author templates.
    Do you know if there is a way to use (or export ) this style sheet so it can be used in a Pages Document?
    Or, would the best option be to have the customer install iBooks Author? This would require the customer to have a mac and the software so it doesn't work for all cases.
    Another idea I was considering would be to export the book as a PDF and have the customer add markup and notes to the PDF.
    All of these options do not seem too great to me.
    I am open to any ideas.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Wjosten,
    After your post, and more people like this, tomorrow may be a nice day to go for a bike ride and a bad day to place a call to Apple at the end of the day.
    So many people waiting at home for a free iPhone 5 delivery and at the end people calling Apple to complain that their phone did not arrive.
