Bundle big servers with arch?

I'm wondering if any of arch devs would like to bundle arch with big DBs/servers such as Oracle and JBoss etc. It would be very great for devs like me (and may attract more users)
Here is a list I can think of (all free):
- GlassFish (J2EE 5 app server)
- IBM DB2 Express-C
- JBoss Application Server
- Oracle Database Express
- Resin Open Source
- Sun Java System Web Server (was iPlanet, Netscape Server)
- Sybase ASE Express
- VMware Server

you want these things "packaged" ? try the AUR
packaging them automatically is a big problem since some of them use installers; Also, the system may need to change in special config such as sysctl.

  • Need help with Arch on a UEFI problem

    hello. big fan of Arch, been using it for a while now.. i got a new laptop and when i tried to install it on the lappy, it just wont take. everything goes smooth
    as silk but no matter which bootstrapper i use be it gummiboot, grub, etc. it all says that the image is missing or incorrect. ive tried the install several
    times with the same results. ive also tried other linux distros and half of them wont even boot off the cd! the only ones that would install properly is ubuntu
    and mint.. and i HAAAAATE ubuntu. can anyone shed some light on what im doing wrong or missing?

    sorry, didnt mean to break the rules! yes i boot into UEFI mode.. its a regular install nothing special. i've followed the install guide to a T. the only problem i see to be having trouble with
    besides the UEFI is that i use cfdisk to make my partitions and sometimes it screws up.. ive tried using gdisk but it thinks i have 2 hard drives and lists
    their size incorrectly. my laptop is an hp 2000. maybe i should do like the guy in the other post and install an OS that will actually boot on it, like ubuntu
    and just use it to boot up my arch?

  • I think I know why my mom is so satisfied with Arch

    I set my mom up with Arch a month or two ago (some of you may remember), and I have to tell you, she has never been happier with her computer. This is one kick-ass success story.
    I have a theory about this, and I'll try not to provide troll bait.
    Microsoft, despite the flaws some of us may perceive it to have, is very successful in the operating system market. Because of their flagship product's popularity, they have to market it and design it to appeal to the broadest possible userbase in order to keep up their popularity. This is, while also a boon, a cause of a strong deficit in their final Windows product.
    Apple has very strong, avid supporters, and because they have a smaller userbase, and because their userbase has identified themselves with Apple and its methods sometimes from the start of Apple (or at least their Macintosh line), they know with more certainty the type of computer their users end up wanting. They provide great products, but they still have to design it with a large number of people in mind. It suffers from this in the realm of ultimate customizability; less than Microsoft's Windows, but the problem does persist.
    My mother was not happy with Windows. She was quite a bit happier with a Macintosh.
    Now from what I can tell, Linux users are by and large control-freaks (I am one too), in that they like to have their computers a certain way; this is one big reason to pick Linux over other available OSes, though as we all know it is not the only one.
    Canonical is beginning to suffer from the same aforementioned problems that Microsoft and Apple face because of Canonical's growing userbase and the participation of many inexperienced computer users. I give great kudos for the work Canonical has done with Ubuntu, but like any operating system, it isn't for everyone.
    My mother is not a particularly strong computer user, but she knows what she needs, and is willing to voice that. Because I built my mother's Arch Linux computer with my own two hands, keeping her needs and desires in mind for the entire process, her computer is exactly what she wants and needs it to be. It does exactly what she wants and needs it to do. This is simply not possible with the aforementioned operating systems, at least not to the extent that I have achieved with my mom and her Arch Linux computer.
    I'm very proud that I can service her computer for her at the drop of a hat, since I still live with my parents. Arch may not be for every inexperienced user, but it certainly fills its role in this house.
    My mom is extremely satisfied with her computer, more so than any other computer she has ever used. I attribute that satisfaction in part to my decent GNU/Linux prowess, but mostly to The Arch Way and the general Arch philosophy. In my opinion, this project fulfills its goals more completely than most distributions, owing in part to the aimed simplicity and flexibility.
    Thank you, Arch developers. You have created something magical in your project. Keep up the excellent work.

    that has always been my main point when people ask me why I use linux.  I have it set to do *exactly* what I want it to do, when I want it to do it.  yes, it takes time and dedication, but I also always saw a computer not so much as a vehicle to let me do x, y, or z, but as a real swiss-army-knife type of tool, where I have a set tool for graphic design, programming, browsing, etc.  Each tool is beneficial, each tool needs proper care, and so on. 
    When other people ask me if they should switch to linux, I ask them, not only how much time and willingness to learn they're prepared to use, but also what exactly their expectations are. Most people (coming from windows) dont really know what they want, because they're used to taking what they get (from microsoft and other companies) so a lot of the time I think they don't know how much choice they have (and responsibility to make those choices).  Most people coming from other OSes I think come with the mentality of "what's linux going to give me that I already get from microsoft/apple?" instead of taking the approach of "what do I want to do with my computer now that I have the tool to set it up how I want it."
    kudos to you for setting up as your mother needs it.  You could make a good business setting people's PCs with linux as they need it, though it would take time and dedication on your part.

  • Kdm big delay with Xorg 7 & Nvidia

    I just made a fresh install ( my first actually) with the latest Arch including XORG 7 m the Nvidia binary driver and KDE 3.5.1 .
    Everything works , I'm very impressed with the Arch boot speed but there's a really big problem with KDM starting . There's a huge lag , a delay between X starting and seeing the Nvidia splash screen and KDM appearing on the desktop .
      It seems to load something from the harddrive but I don't think it should take that long . I previously never had this problem with KDE in Gentoo , Kubuntu or PCLOS ( but didn't try it with KDE 3.5.1 and Xorg 7 though ) ,
      Any ideas ?
    P.S.  KDM log :

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

  • How to create reports servers with the same name in two nodes in Reports

    Greetings
    We are migrating Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) to a better hardware infrastructure with high availability. We want to provide 2 new Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) in High availability and we want to avoid modify the existing forms and reports code, but the code is looking for a specific reports server name when calling reports, but I couldn't create the same reports server name in the both oas machines, I could create the reports server in only one node. I want to create a reports server with the same name in both nodes but it is not possible. I know that there is a procedure to do that in 10.1,2 (Note 437228.1, How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet) but I couldn't find the equivalent procedure in 9.0.4.
    Anybody kwows how to create a reports server with the same name in two nodes using 10g (9.0.4)
    Thanks
    Ramiro Ortiz.

    Hello.
    I applied the patch 4092150 on my oas 9.0.4.2 and I modified my rwnetwork.conf file changing the port to 14022 by following the note "How to Create Two Reports Servers With the Same Name in the Same Subnet? [ID 437228.1]" but I am facing the same error rep-56040 "server already exists in the network".
    When I run osfind command I get the following information (My reports server is senarep and I want to create it on SNMMBOGOAS10):

  • How do I bundle a jre with an RCP appl on Mac OSX

    Hi,
    We are making an RCP appl with kepler.
    I want to ship the jre's with the appl.
    On windows I can just ship a jre dir in the root, no problem.
    On the Mac (10.8.4) it does not seem to work, at least not in an obvious way.
    I downloaded the latest 1.7 jre (25) for Mac from the oracle website.
    I tried the following:
    unzip it and put it in a jre dir in the root => not used, falling back to system jre
    same and put '-vm' in the ini => error saying 1.6.0_51 is not supported (huh? I do not even have 1.6)
    I tried exporting an appl (with bundled jre) from eclipse using the product definition. That works but when I look at the generated appl tree I see a jre dir with another jre dir inside it ??? The inner jre dir seems to be a (partial) duplicate of the outer one.
    Ok, sort of at least, now I tried to copy my downloaded jre dir inside itself. That works, but if I remove the contents of one of them it does not work anymore and I do not really want to ship a double jre.
    Can anybody shed some light here?
    What is the optimal way to bundle a jre with an RCP application on Mac OSX?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I have done this within our product and have it working. It's tricky because if you're using Maven to build, OS X's JRE symlink's libjvm.dylib - which Java's unzip invariably screws up.
    I was only able to get this to work by using Tycho, as the app export within the PDE is just plain broken (and seemingly unmaintained). This bug has been there for quite some time - I don't have any faith in it ever getting fixed, regardless of whatever bugzilla says.
    If you're building RCP apps for distribution - you should probably consider using Tycho anyways; admittedly there's a lot of BS that comes with it, but it's the only seemingly straightforward way to build and package an RCP app in a headless manner for continuous integration. Buckminster is supposedly also a solution - but it has less information and support than Tycho - so YMMV.
    Anyways back to your problem. Using Tycho with some custom maven magic, I was able to solve this. Essentially I downloaded the JRE from Oracle, and uploaded to our Artifactory so I could reference it using maven coordinates. I unpack that tar.gz package into the OS X distribution directory and place the package under the <your app name>.app/jre. Because of the symlink munging - you have to go and fix that, so remove the existing zero byte libjvm.dylib and relink it using ant exec. Now that you have a good JVM, you need to modify the config.ini to use the right JRE. Unfortunately you can only build this on OS X or Linux - Windows is SOL unless you can find a way to use Cygwin or equivalent. Since I'm doing this outside of Tycho's archiving phase (and theres not apparently way to slip my changes in between), I have to recreate the OS X archive.
    Hopefully this helps you solve your problem... I beat my head against the wall trying to fix this for several weeks trying to find a working solution as the error reporting is completely incorrect.
    Anyways, good luck!

  • I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard: Part II

    Hi  
    I haven't got any more replies to my post "I'm having big trouble with my new mainboard" by Krelian 2003.09.13 at 05:25. Please help! I've been struggling with this for a LONG time. And now my computer won't boot at all! Sometimes the LED's in front of the computer lights up for half a second, and nothing more happens. The only sign of life is the green light in the LAN jack. It happened after I took the ide cable for my harddrive in and out of the mainboard. This is insane, how can that suddeny happen :O ?! I was asked by wonkanoby to post max amps for my PSU, I did, and I really need to know if I maybe need a new PSU, since he asked that. Can a new PSU solve all the problems mentioned in my previous posts? Everything was fine except that I couldn't get into Windows, before i tried another harddrive on my computer. How can that complicate things so much? I have tried going barebone, and taking out the cmos battery and setting the jumpers JBAT1, J10 and J11. I have also tried every suggestion I got. Please help! I really need to get this fixed!
    -Krelian

    Some power supplies or designed so that if there is a short or overload they shut them selfs off and some will not turn back on. Some have a relay that will click back on and work, some you have to  cycle the power switch. Those that won't come back on will have to be replaced. I'm not saying that yours is that type as I have no way of telling. But if you have a friend who will loan you a good power supply you might try it. As someone else said just turning off the power will not darn all the power from some motherboards. To test this turn off your power supply than turn on the computer with the start botton. Mine will flash the lights and fans will start to spin than die. So every time you turn off computer to work on it. After turning off PSU hit the start botton to drian any power left in it before working on it. Also do this after unplugging it just to make sure.

  • On certain pages, a big circle with an arrow inside it takes the foreground in the bottom left corner, and I can't get rid of it.

    This image is something new on my screen, probably since the last Fx update or so.
    I think this big-circle-with-an-arrow-inside may be a sign indicating that I need to download something, or that something is available for download. I see it on sites featuring various media, such as on some of Amazon's digital music pages and also on some of IMDb's pages.
    Further regarding any downloads, I don't know if this circle refers to a plugin, or a media file, or if, in fact, either.
    I have no idea what the circle with an arrow is trying to tell me, nor do I know how to get rid of it. It takes over the forefround of the corners where it resides, rendering any links beneath it inoperable. At the very least, I would just like to make it go away.
    Thanks for any help you may offer :-)

    Thanks for your interest in my problem. I'm sending along a screenshot.

  • 2 Front End Servers with reporting enabled in topology but only one server shows reports

    Hi,
    We have 2 Front End Standard pool servers with resiliency enabled between them. The monitoring service is configured in the topology so that both Front End Servers point to the same monitoring database. We have half our users homed on 1 Front
    end and half the other users sitting on the other Front End. In the Reports we can only see information on Audio calls made from users that are sitting on our Primary Front End Pool Server however we cannot see call information from users that are sitting
    on the other front end server?
    Thanks, Kevin

    We have applied the backend updates and verified the config by running Test-CSDatabases cmd-let . I ran enable-cstopology and ran bootstrapper.exe and rebooted both Front End Servers, however we are still unable to see monitoring data of users
    homed on our second Lync Front End server.
    Any other suggestions? Thanks for responses so far, appreciate the assistance!

  • Is it OK to have two SBS Servers with same name, on different subnets but connected over a VPN?

    Hi Everyone,
                       I'm just about to connect up two SBS 2011 Servers with the same server name but on different subnets & domains over a VPN.
    So for example both servers will have the name Server01, one would have an ip address of 192.168.85.5, the other 192.168.86.5, they both then would be connected over a VPN.
    Can anyone foresee any issues with this configuration, like DNS & DHCP requests, adding new machines to the domain, mapping drives etc.
    Many thanks,
    Nick

    Hi Larry & Strike First,
                      Thank you for your responses. I understand that this is an unusual situation. Basically I've recently taken over the IT support for this client. The client has just had a new phone system installed
    & are asking if they can speak to each office internally, which can easily be done once I setup the VPN.
    However I noticed whilst looking at this further that the Server names are the same, hence my question?
    Am I right in saying that providing the workstations  have a trust relationship with their own domain controllers through their individual domains on separate subnets, that hopefully there shouldn't be any DNS issues between the two domains and Servers?
    I could build a new VM if you feel it would be better practice to do so?
    Many thanks for your assistance,
    Nick

  • TS1398 I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about that on about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!

    I have the ipad retina display version - I have a BIG issue with this when out and about, that only about 50% of the time will it see my HTC mobile WiFi hotspot - rebooting either, or both devices doesn't cure the problem it drives me MAD!!!!
    The HTC hotspot works fine with everything else I connect to it.
    Also - ipad will not connect to my HTC via bluetooth. Again, I can connect to everything else with my HTC other than my ipad.
    I have to say this is my first venture into Apple products and I have always wanted to get away from my windows based laptop to get a MacBook, the problems I have had (flash player etc) & continue to have (as above) are putting me right off swapping over. I HATE technology that doesn't work and my ipad has been hard work!

    I stated my ipad as being an ipad2, but I now think it is a 3??? It was new Jan this year and is the 64gb retina display version.
    I really would like to get to the bottom on this problem wit mobile hotspots as it is sitting on my desk next to me now and I cannot get it to connect to my HTC mobile hotspot!!!! It might be taking a flying lesson soon at this rate!!! Grrrrrrr...........

  • How to setup grub2 with arch linux and xen, lvm on luks

    OK, so I tried downloading this package from AUR:  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-git/ , but that has patching problems as noted in the comments.  It looks like the packagebuild sets up all the xen stuff for you, but I can't seem to get the package to install because of the error's while patching.  If anyone can point me in the right direction on what all the extra files in the PKGBUILD are for or how to debug problems with PKGBUILDs not working because of patches.
    So next I just tried to compile the latest xen from git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git (with ./configure, make, make install) and that seemed to go fine, but I'm a bit confused:
    1.  Do I have to do any additional configuration for xen when working with arch linux?  On ubuntu I could just compile the source, update grub, and make sure to start the x services at runtime.
    2.  How do I set up grub to load xen with this setup?  Right now this is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
    GRUB_DEFAULT=0
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
    GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch"
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:vgStorage"
    # Preload both GPT and MBR modules so that they are not missed
    GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"

    GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
    # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
    #GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console
    # The resolution used on graphical terminal
    # note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
    # you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'

    # Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub

    # format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"

    # Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
    GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
    # Uncomment and set to the desired menu colors. Used by normal and wallpaper
    # modes only. Entries specified as foreground/background.
    #GRUB_COLOR_NORMAL="light-blue/black"
    #GRUB_COLOR_HIGHLIGHT="light-cyan/blue"

    #GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT="true"

    I've tried throwing in a line like: XEN_HYPERVISOR_CMDLINE="cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:vgStorage", but nothing new shows up on the grub boot menu.
    First time trying to set up a non-ubuntu system, please help!

    As for XEN.... well you could always try QEMU/KVM or LXC.
    As for the LVM2-on-LUKS/dm-crypt
    My /etc/mkinitcpio.conf looks like this...
    MODULES="aesni_intel ata_generic ata_piix nls_cp437 ext4 intel_agp i915 dm-snapshot"
    BINARIES=""
    FILES=""
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect block keymap encrypt lvm2 filesystems keyboard fsck shutdown"
    /etc/defaults/grub
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:root:allow-discards"
    GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="part_gpt part_msdos"
    GRUB_TERMINAL_INPUT=console
    GRUB_GFXMODE=auto
    GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
    GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY=true
    The running grub config looks like this
    /boot/grub/grub.cfg
    9 insmod part_gpt
    10 insmod part_msdos
    53 if loadfont unicode ; then
    54 set gfxmode=auto

    97 linux /vmlinuz-linux-grsec root=/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-lvroot rw cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:root:allow-discards quiet
    98 echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
    99 initrd /initramfs-linux-grsec.img
    100 }
    Things to note:
    Numerical UUID is the UUID of the ROOT partition.
    Alphabetical UUIS is the BOOT partition
    hd1,msdos2 AND ahci1,msdos2 are how the Grub Bootloader numbers the drives not Linux.
    I have my BOOT partition on a USB stick, and it is the Second partition.
    So, that would make it, Device 2 and Partition 2
    Device numbering starts at 0
    Partition numbering starts at 1
    Oh, and note that you don't need ":allow-discards" ... at all but certainly if you don't have an SSD. Also note that I included the line numbers so it is very clear that I didn't post the whole thing, but instead what I thought was relevant. Finally, I am loading modules that I don't even need, but what the hell... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

  • How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some

    Hi
    As my topic says
    How do you create an installer/bundle for PPro with extension, a plugin (export-controller) and some custom presets?
    Assume you have Flash Builder 4.5, CS Extension builder 2.0, Xcode 4.5.1 running under MacOS 10.8.

    I understand why you need updated running headers in your book. To a sighted reader these serve as a guide to where you are and help you find things quickly.  In addition, if you are exporting your data to XML or HTML from the tagged PDF it would also be important to have these in the proper location. 
    But for accessibility purposes, it doesn't have to be there because the screen reader reads everything in linear order, line by line.  No one is looking at the page.  A user listening to the screen reader read the page is going to hear this heading, just before the actual word itself. So they will hear the first word on the page twice.  It's not the end of the world if it's there, but such headings are not necessary for accessibility unless they are not repetitive and contain information that is not otherwise available.
    So I would say, fine if you need them or want them there, it's just one word. 
    I think you should try exporting your book to PDF (or even just a chapter of the book) and look at the tags panel in Acrobat to see if you are getting the result you want.  I can't tell you exactly what you should do to get those results, you are using a plug-in I don't have. 
    I can tell you I didn't have to add the headers to any article at all, they just automatically export if the other articles in the file are added and you don't select the header style option "not for export as XML."
    You may not experience the same results with your plug-in, but I think it will probably work the same way. 
    Give it a try and best of luck.
