Can't capture through line-in port SB Live! 24-bit and Linux A

Hi,
I've posted this message to the ALSA User's forum but have not yet received any responses, so I'm hoping somebody in this forum can help me.
I just installed a SB Li've! 24-bit card (SB040) into a Dell Server 950 running Redhat Enterprise Linux ES, with kernel 2.6.9. I also upgraded ALSA from .0.6 to .0.3 by compiling the sources for the drivers, libraries and utilities.
Here are some of the things that I *can* do:
- I am able to hear the test sound from the Sound Detection tool.
- I can successfully play (and hear) a wav file using aplay.
- I can use alsamixer to control volume and select line-in for capture.
- I can hear white noise when I run speaker-test.
However, the thing I most need to do, but cannot, is to capture anything from the line-in port.
I'd like to capture from the line-in port but I hear nothing when I play it back. If I dump the contents of the buffer after calling snd_pcm_readi, there's nothing but NULLs. I also tried using arecord, sending the output to a file. Using hexdump to examine the file, except for the first 48 bytes (or so) of data, the rest of the file contained NULLs. The first 48 bytes appear to be some kind of header info, since I see that those bytes are always pretty similar after each attempt to record.
I am using the plughw:0,0 device. I tried to open the "default" device in my test capture/playback program, but that gave me the following error when I attempted the snd_pcm_open:
ALSA lib pcm_direct.c:587: (snd_pcm_direct_parse_open_conf) The field ipc_gid must be a valid group (create group audio)
cannot open audio device default (Invalid argument)
I am doing all work logged in as root.
Can somebody please help me figure out what's wrong?
Thanks,
Anna Klein

Technically, the phone CAN be tracked using the "serial" number, but no one will do that for you. If your phone is offline, there's no way of reaching it. Most likely, it's already been restored and either put up for sale on eBay, or is being used by the theives themselves.
Sorry, but there's nothing else you can do other than report it to your carrier, the police, and change all your passwords to any account that might have been in use on the phone.

Can't invoke scim in an AIR app on 64 bit suse linux 12.1 or 12.3

We have a substantial AIR application that supports Japanese input. On 32 bit Suse Linux 11.1, we could invoke scim by putting the focus on a text input field and doing ctrl-space. That would bring up a small scim window on the lower right, and we could enter some Japanese in the field. Now we have moved to 64 bit Suse Linux 12.1 (and 12.3), and ctrl-space doesn't seem to do anything any more in our flex application, or even a tiny application that consists of only 1 text area. This is with AIR 2.6.0-19120. scim will come up with the same tiny test app on 11.1 though (w AIR 2.6.0-19170). On the 12.1 and 12.3 systems scim will come up for other applications, such as just a konsole window, Firefox, or Eclipse, all of which I can type Japanese text into using scim.
I realize AIR on Linux is no longer officially supported, but if anybody knows how to make this work, I'd love to hear about it. I've tried various environment variable settings, but haven't found the right one(s) yet.

This article from My Oracle Support might be useful: Troubleshooting the Business Rules Command Line Launcher (CmdLnLauncher) [ID 1173313.1]
And specifically this part:
Error: "Error While Sending Command to HBR Server Running Within the EAS Server"
Symptoms
CmdLnLauncher utility fails with the following error,
"Error while sending command to HBR Server running within the EAS server."
Cause
JDK 1.6 installed on the server. This is picked up as the default Java Runtime resulting in issues running CmdLnLauncher utility. The 11.1.1.x release supports JDK 1.5
You can verify what version of Java is installed on the server by executing command 'Java -version' from a command prompt.
Solution
Uninstall JDK 1.6 and install version 1.5.
If uninstalling is not an option you can perform the following steps to workaround the issue:
1. Edit CmdLnLauncher.bat
2. Add path to JRE 1.5 before -DHBR_HOME
Example of CmdLnLauncher.bat:
set CPATH=..\lib\CmdLnLauncher.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\easclientplugin.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\log4j-1.2.8.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\framework_common.jar
set CPATH=%CPATH%;..\lib\eas_common.jar

Can I use the new Air port extreme to scan, print, and share a hard drive?

I currently have a canon 3and1 pixma MP750 printer, and a lacie brick 250gb usb external drive. I'm looking into buying a airport extreme "n" base station and a apple tv to share all my music on my home theater. I'm also planning on updating my current system to an Imac 17" intel duo 2.18g. My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme, or is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer? (ie emac directly to printer and airport extreme directly to printer via some product I may not know of) And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?
Emac G4 1gig Mac OS X (10.4.1) Shopping for new mac

My question is will I be able to use the scan function on my printer with the air port extreme
Unfortunately, no. The new AirPort Extreme Base Station, like all other AirPort Base Stations, do not support the scan or copy features of "all-in-one" printers attached to their USB ports. This is primarily due to the fact that these features require two-way communications which the USB port does not support.
is there away to connect multiple computers to 1 printer?
Yes, if the printer is Ethernet-enabled, you can connect it to one of the AEBS's LAN ports...or use a Wireless Ethernet Bridge, like the Linksys WET54G to connect the printer wirelessly to the AEBS.
And do you for see any problems sharing the HD drive between the emac, a new imac and a windows based pc with xp operating system if connected throught the airport via usb hub to acomidate the printer as well as the HD?
No, the new AEBS should support this.

Macbook shuts off during start-up - can't get through safe-mode, single user mode (fsck -fy) and target-drive shows no problems when running disk utility repair

Hi everyone,
I'm simply all out of ideas on what to do - my best guess is the problem is not specifically hard-drive related since all the 'normal' fixes just won't work.
What could be the cause of my issue? The only way i've managed to keep the Macbook Pro on for longer than a minute is through target drive, where it seems to work just fine - i can access everything. To sum up everything:
1 - I tried resetting the PRAM
2 - I tried to go in to safe mode, it shut off before i could type the password
3 - I tried fsck -fy command from single user mode, sometimes i can get to actually typing it but mostly it shuts off before
4 - I tried to repair disk via target drive - success, no problems detected (and it didnt fix my issue)
5 - I reinstalled OS Mavericks.
The Macbook Pro previously had some problems with the power-button not working properly (a mac-cunning friend of mine had to open up the mac and start it by swiping to metal pins on a specific (battery/power?) part inside it. The problem kinda went away afterwards but it might be related to this?
This is way off my comfort zone of 'diagnosing' issues, so I'm crossing fingers for some good advice.
Thanks,
Aske

I think you're right.
If it's hardware related, is it possible to guess at what it might be? It would be nice to know how much I should expect to pay for a repair before actually getting it fixed.

Can there be more than one port for the same logical system

Can we have more than one TRFC port for tranferring data from one logical system to another?
The requirement is to transfer same basic idoc type from one logical system to another through two different ports. Is it possible?
For eg. some specific data (country specific) for the same basic idoc type can be sent through a separate port and the other data through a different port inorder to distinguish between the two.

Hi Shital,
I don't think so. Because of that what i told you. There would be a dirty trick (back routing) to solve your issue. But its quite difficult and not standard. You create two http receiver services and two http sender services. You route your message depending on payload to the one or the other http receiver channel. The receiver is in both cases: THE XI! Now you have a second message, which you can route to IDoc adapter. But in this case you have different sender and in the receiver determination you can put the sender, so you will be able to use different communication channnels and so different ports / destinations.
Advantage: Your task would run, no performance problem (http: very good, asynchron)
Handicap: You see every message double in the monitoring, the scenario is not easy to understand and it is a big task 4 other people to change it.

Hi. Anyone have a problem running a 4g stick through a usb port on a MacBook Air running Mavericks? Did you fix it? If so, how? Thanks.

I can run everything through the usb port, including another manufacturer's 4G stick. The 4G stick that doesnt work on my Air works on my son's. The only difference I can find? Mavericks!

whats it formatted as? Alas junker thumb drives fall like rain everywhere.
Do you have another stick / thumb drive you can verify your USB port with?
Stick with Sandisk or otherwise reputable memory sticks for your Macbook.
What do you mean by "another manufacturer"? Apple doesnt make thumb drives, .....no computer mfg. makes them, however HP has their name on one

Serial Ports, is it supported on MAC & Linux ??

Hey all...
After a long process of doing an application that runs a serial port connection to a server and upload a file to it, i could'nt find the comm package that i could download for both MAC and Linux.... There is one for Windows and Solaris though... So i was wondering, is serial ports not supported by MAC and Linux. And if not, what other than the comm package can i use to have serial ports on those 2 platforms .......
Thanks

Yes, there is third party support for linux and MacOS-X. It's released under GPL and can be found here -> http://www.rxtx.org/

Can we install oracle client 32 bit on Linux 64 bit

Can we install the 32 bit applications like the oracle client on to a database server 64 bit and linux os 64 bit ?

This question is two parts which I paraphrase as per my understanding; please correct me if I'm wrong:
1) Can you install 32-bit applications (like the oracle client) on to a 64-bit Linux OS?
Quick and correct answer is: Yes. Most distributions will include 32-bit libraries along with 64-bit libraries for just this purpose.
2) Can a 32-bit Oracle Client "connect" to a 64-bit Oracle Database server?
Yes.
So ultimately, you could install 64-bit Oracle Database on a 64-bit Linux OS, and then continue by installing the 32-bit Oracle Client on the same host (although I see no real reason for this), and then finally use the 32-bit Oracle Client to connect to the 64-bit instance running on the same host.
Hope this is helpful!
