Cp1518ni and Linux hints and tricks

I hooked up my new cp1518 printer to my router. First thing I deid was print out the self-test and configuration.
To get it to work on my main computer (Slackware 13.0)
I had to download some drivers. But then Cups found it and I could set it up.
My remote access was even easier, using a notebook and Knoppix. Again Cups was my friend. I failed to
complete the driver download because it wanted Python. Long story. But Cups managed to access it anyhow.
Of course the Windows or Mac HP control panel software won't work with Linux. But you can point your web browser to the
internal URL (mine is 192.168.1.120) and get to some on-line controls that way.
I had trouble using the tray 1 (manual) feed. So I went to the online control panel (see above) and turned manual feed on.
Why would one turn it off?
The instructions say that for tray 1 use you insert the medium as far as you can. Not so. You insert the medium
slowly with slight downward pressure in the stock. You halt when you feel slight resistance.
My paper manual was pretty useless. It referred me to page 20 for a network install. Page 20 and following was printed in Hebrew and
discussed something else AFAICT. The manual on the CDROM did not discusss my first error message and in general was light on operating instructions.
Periodically the printer starts to hum and the display says "Calibrating". Don't know if this is a bug or a feature.
Haven't tried printing from a camera card yet. Stay tuned!

sounds about the same as mine. I'm currently running Kubuntu 12.4 but have used others. laptop has Ubuntu 10.4
how did you find the internal URL I can't seem to get to mine
your tray one feed is correct, if you put it all the way in you will get either a misfeed or it will pickup from tray 2
as for the camera cards, is more trouble than it was worth I got an external USB card reader and just do it thru the computer and regular printing.
mine suddenly went out of calibration and I can't figure out how to do it without access to a windoze machine.
other wise the CP1518 has been rock solid and worked fine.

Linux's and WXP's SJSAS8 installations returning different things.

Hi all,
I recently installed, in a single computer, SJSAS8 (J2EE1.4 SDK) for Windoze and Linux (XP and Mandrake Linux 10.0). Both are standard installations. Both have JDBC connection pools using MS Sql Server JDBC driver. Both have the same application deployed as EAR file. I expected both to give same results.
The difference shows when retrieving XML through EJBs. While XP returns special characters correctly, Linux returns the '?' sign. I will spend more time trying to find what happens, but I just thought maybe someone else had already encountered and solutioned this behavior.

This may not help much but this seems like a character encoding issue. My guess is the default character encoding on the 2 platforms are different and the default Linux encoding is not properly encoding some of the characters in your XML document, hence the ?'s. Perhaps you could modify the default character encoding on the Linux box to match the windows box and see if that helps. Maybe I'm off base here.

SATA and Linux

I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting SATA support up and running in Linux. I dual boot XP and Linux RH9 and have bought a Maxtor Raptor SATA drive I already have an old and clapped out Seagate. I eventually would like to get a second Raptor and set up a striped RAID array but for now I would just like to be able to get Linux to recognize the drive and to either shift my drive image over to the new drive or reinstall onto the Maxtor.
XP sees the drive if I use the old drive to boot up but if I try to do a fresh install onto the SATA drive with the old IDE disconnected it will not recognise a drive at all. Linux will not detect the SATA drive at all no matter what I do.
I understand I need to have some drivers at install time on floppy disk to do a fresh install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Sorry I can't be any immediate help, I have a similar problem trying to dual boot WinXP and Redhat9
I have WinXP installed on a Intel RAID array and Redhat9 on a separate IDE drive, at the moment Linux can not see Windows
From information I've gathered so far Grub is the boot loader to use, there is a patch released by Intel for earlier versions of Redhat and Grub, not sure if it's of any use yet
Good luck

Arch Linux install and management on multiple workstations

Hello
I've been asked to install and manage an installation of 20+ computers at my school. They will be dual-boot with Windows and Linux. Even though i've never used Arch, i chose it for the install because i've heard a lot of good about it. I ask for tips on installing and managing such an installation. All the computers and their disks are identical, and i wish all my systems to be identical as well. There is a separate server with LDAP to which i have no root access, but which holds all user accounts.
Install:
I probably can suffer installing all the systems manually. I'll dedicate one workstation and create an ftp mirror so that i may do a netinstall on the others -- is this an ok idea? Also, how can i setup hostnames? Can DHCP do this?
Management:
The computers will be randomly shut down and powered on as the users please. Perhaps i can boot them all on once a fortnight and use cssh (cluster ssh) to do a system update -- but maybe there is a better way? A local mirror of the packages seems wise. I don't think it's a good idea to create a diskless setup, since if all machines are powered on at once it will significantly decrease boot time and increase network usage, to the annoyance of the users.
I ask for criticism of those ideas and additional hints.
PS. I appreciate the joke of asking someone without a Linux installation what the output of a Linux command is:) (when registering to this forum)

If I was in your position...
Setup arch on one machine, from scratch to production ready, with the following in mind.
-Decide what desktop environment and window manager(s) you want installed/want to support.
-Which applications your users will need
-Which privileges are required or groups your users will need to be in.
-Install everything, and note the names of the packages, everything installed after the base install.
Then make a simple setup sh script that calls pacman to install everything you need and check any settings/group memberships etc, checking the logs afterwords to make sure that there were no issues. You could use this to streamline setup on the rest, or just do what tomk said and clone it.
I wouldn't wait more than a week between updates. You could probably setup a cron job to run pacman and accept the defaults. You should run this on a test machine before the rest though to insure nothing breaks; that happens occasionally.
I would probably choose Gnome as the DE personally. Not that it is any better than the others, but it is what I am familiar with, and seemed a bit less cluttered than KDE last time I used it. Less clutter and easily changeable settings means less time fixing users' mistakes.
You could setup your own local arch repo/mirror and just have the rest of the machines sync from that, it'd save a lot of bandwidth and make updates a bit faster.

How do Mac and Linux find the JFX runtime?

I've been searching the documentation without success for the answer to what ought to be a simple question -- how do I point Mac or Linux at the 2.2 runtime? It's no problem if I'm running in an IDE (NetBeans, e(fx)clipse), where I can tell the IDE where I unpacked the SDK. But what if I want to run a jar file, such as produced by the ant tasks?
You'd think this would work (on Linux, where I unpacked the SDK into /opt):
java -cp /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar:. -jar MyProgram.jar But it doesn't -- I get a popup saying "This application requires a newer version of the Java runtime. Please download and install the latest Java runtime from java.com. Then restart the application" (I'm running with 1.7.0_05-b05 from Oracle).
The only thing at all close I find in the Linux installation instructions is it says to unpack the samples as a subdirectory of the SDK, wherever I happened to put it, and then I should be able to run the examples with a simple "java -jar filename.jar". But even that's not quite true -- it only works if I first cd to the samples directory. But it's a start, so I tried...
cd /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt
java -jar ~/dist/MyProgram.jarThat succeeds in finding the runtime, but my program doesn't work, because it doesn't find my dependent libraries. So I tweaked the command a little bit:
cd /opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt
java -cp ~/dist/MyProgram.jar -jar ~/dist/MyProgram.jarThat actually works. But it can't possibly be the right answer -- you shouldn't have to run a javafx program with the runtime directory as your working directory.
And even that doesn't work on Mac. There, Java knows how to find the runtime that's installed with JDK 7 update 5 for Mac. But if I want to test a program with the 2.2 runtime, what do I do? Setting -classpath on the command line still uses the 2.1 runtime. And if I try the trick of connecting to javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt first, it doesn't work at all -- it doesn't find my libraries, and it throws up a "java quit unexpectedly" window after getting a segfault.
So what's a developer to do? Am I supposed to use the native packaging procedure instead?

JavaFX 2.2 is first version where Linux/Mac are supported as runtime (and not just SDK).
However, you need to install JavaFX Runtime that is part of JRE 7u6 (you can get beta from jdk7.java.net or wait for FCS version of it).
Installing JRE is the only way to get JavaFX runtime installed on Mac and Linux (and eventually on Windows too).
rt folder in the SDK is "private" copy of the runtime. It is not supposed to be used to run arbitrary JavaFX applications by default.
You can still force to use it as
java -Djavafx.runtime.path=/opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar -jar MyProgram.jar
or
java -cp ~/dist/MyProgram.jar:/opt/javafx-sdk2.2.0-beta/rt/lib/jfxrt.jar com.javafx.main.Main
Note that if you use "-jar" then "-cp" is ignored by java launcher. This is not JavaFX specific behavior.
JavaFX specific part is that properly packaged JavaFX main jar file will include copy of launcher class (com.javafx.main.Main)
and this is what will be run when you double click on jar or use "java -jar". Launcher will try to locate JavaFX runtime to use,
it knows how to find runtime in the SDK if it is sample located in the SDK itself and it also knows how to find installed version of runtime.
If JavaFX is not found then it will show you message you observed.

RTC and Linux

Does RTC work with Linux 9? If so, where can I download the version?
Thanks in advance,
Mustafa

Thanks for the hint you've provided. It lead me to review HTTP header response variable x-frame-options. Here I learned what cause the browsers to return a blank page. So my first set behavior is resolved. Those browsers have begun to exhibit the second set behavior. That is, on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS the first set browsers rewrite the framed URL, https://myserver.oracle.com/myframeset.html, to https://myserver.oracle.com/tst/f?p=4550:1:&SESSION.
Note that this is not the behavior of my applications. The URL (https://myserver.oracle.com/myframeset.html) remains anchored - the location URL remains unchanged - from application page to application page. The rewrite only occurs when accessing the Application Express workspace administration login page.

Labview and Linux

Hi!
I'm quite a newbie to labview and have some problems that no search
machine could solve so far
I using Labview 6 on a Linux machine and want to use a NI PCI-MIO-16E-4
card for in- and output. Unfortunately I found out after I installed the
system etc. that LinuxLabview doesn't obviously come with readymade DAQ
support. I found the _drivers_ from comedi.org and managed to install
them, but in the packages were no vi's included.
Has anybody a hint or link how I might access my card (without switching
the whole system to Windows )?
Thanks!
Christoph

Hi Chris,
Check out this link:
http://www.uni-saarland.de/fak8/wwm/Members/Kempf/comedi_vi/comedi_vi_e.html
It has CIN based VIs. Can't say I've used them. I'm not a big fan of
CINs so I've used function calls to the shared library, comedilib.so.
It's a nice alternative to CINs.
Hope this helps.

Question regarding Oracle and Linux on VMware

Hello,
I carefuly read the paper on Oracle and Linux on Your Own VMware and I'm missing a point.
The paper explains how to start a cluster on a single host in a single Linux VM on VMware.
So, there are 2 instances of Oracle 10g DB on the same Linux VM inside VMware. What does allow that?
Is it possible to run 2 instances on any (single) Linux box, or is VMware required? If VMware is not required, why this complication in that paper? If VMware is required, what does it bring that make running 2 cluster instances on the same host possible?
Many thanks for your help.

I have an oracle database (10.2) and I have a query that needs to compare data on the Oracle database to data on a MS SQL server DB. I'm using a DB Link between the two databases.
How would I compare the date fields?
I have a table that has a date as one of the fields and I need to restrict the records where the date is equal to the date on SQL, however the formats are different:
My query is as follows:
SELECT mkt_css_name,
pmv_rqst_corp_id,
pmv_rqst_source,
'G',
pmv_css_acct_no,
eq.start_date
FROM power_move@cmdt,

AND eq.status IN ('A','P','G','S')
AND eq.marketer_id = mkt_seq_no
AND pmv_service_type IN ('G','D')
And Pmv_Gas_Mktr_No = Eq.Marketer_Id
AND pmv_received_timestamp= eq.enroll_date ;
The problem is that the date is stored in Oracle in the following format: DD-MON-YYYY and in SQL as 'YYYY-DD-MM HH:MI:SSSSSS'
for example: Data in Oracle would be 27-JAN-2012 and in SQL as 2012-01-27 00:00:00.000
I get an error when I compile.
How do you reconcile the formats when the syntax is different between databases?
Thanks, SeanDATE datatypes do NOT have any "format"
DATE datatype is stored in internal binary notation.
use TO_CHAR to display, present & compare the DATE datatypes

Why difference in Solaris and Linux

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) = '\0';
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Solaris:
Address is : 134160 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 135704 String is : HelloWor
Linux:
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorldAB

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently
when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris
and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );The size you get here is the size of buf, which is the size of a pointer, not the size of what buf points to. sizeof(*buf) would give you size of a char, the type (not the object) that buf points to.
There is no portable way to find out the number of bytes allocated on the heap if you are give only a pointer to the memory. You have to remember the size some other way..
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");A literal string consists of the characters in the string plus a terminating null, all of which are copied by strcpy. You allocated 10 chars for buf, but are writing 11 chars into it. At this point, the program has undefined behavior. Literally anything at all could happen, because you can't predict the effect of writing outside the bounds of allocated memory.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size :
e : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)The "sizeof" operator in this case is returning the size of the type of a literal 20, which is an int. If you want to allocate 20 bytes, you write 20, not sizeof(20).
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) == '\0';SInce you can't count on buf having more than 4 bytes at this time, you are writing into unallocated memory, with undefined results.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Instead of asking why you get different results on different platforms, you should be asking why the program doesn't crash on all platforms. :-)
You can avoid these problems with keeping track of allocating memory by using the C++ standard library instead of trying to manage low-level details yourself as in C code.
The standard string class, for example, extends itself as needed, and ensures that heap memory is freed when the string object is deleted or goes out of scope. You don't need pointers, malloc, free, or sizeof to use C++ strings.

Personas suddenly not working Firefox 30, 31, 32 on Win 7 Pro x64 and Linux Mint 16 x64

Personas which have been working for a long time suddenly quit working on Win 7 and Linux. I tried changing to a different persona to change the background for the top border of the window and it just goes to some odd color and the personas just don't show up. This has been with Firefox 30, 31, 32. The personas still work with Win XP Pro run as a virtual machine on Win 7 host or Win 8 host. I thought it was a Windows thing until I saw the same problem with Linux. Everything else seems normal so this isn't a real bad problem. It's just odd.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).

Arch Linux Partitions And Filesystems

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty much new to Linux having used Ubuntu about 2 years back. Recently I've been looking to get a better understanding of the system and wanted to try out a different distro. I searched around and came across Arch. I really liked the principle on which this distribution is based and have decided to give it a go.
I have 2 SATA HDDs in my system.
1. 1TB Seagate --> Windows 7
2. 160GB Seagate --> Windows XP
I want to install Arch on the 160GB HDD. I'll remove XP and the entire HDD will be for Arch.
What I would like to know is the partitions that I should create. Should I go with /boot, /, /var, /usr, /home, /temp? Or lesser number of partitions?
What sizes should they be?
And which ones should be primary and which ones extended, if at all? What file systems should I use for the different partitions? (I had been considering ext4, XFS and Reiser.) It would help if someone would direct me to the appropriate ones for each partition.
Also, I could not understand the difference between the /usr and /home directories. What are their uses? Where do my programs (obtained through Pacman or otherwise) get installed?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

According to the wiki:
/ (root) The root filesystem is the primary filesystem from which all other filesystems stem; the top of the hierarchy. All files and directories appear under the root directory "/", even if they are stored on different physical devices. The contents of the root filesystem must be adequate to boot, restore, recover, and/or repair the system. Therefore, certain directories under / are not themselves candidates for separate partitions. (See warning below).
/boot This directory contains the kernel and ramdisk images as well as the bootloader configuration file, and bootloader stages. /boot also stores data that is used before the kernel begins executing userspace programs. This may include saved master boot sectors and sector map files. /boot is essential for booting, but is unique in that it may still be kept on its own separate partition (if required).
/home User data and user specific configuration files for applications are stored in each user's home directory in a file that starts with the '.' character (a "dot file").
/usr While root is the primary filesystem, /usr is the secondary hierarchy, for user data, containing the majority of (multi-)user utilities and applications. /usr is shareable, read-only data. This means that /usr shall be shareable between various hosts and must not be written to, except in the case of system update/upgrade. Any information that is host-specific or varies with time is stored elsewhere.
/tmp directory for programs that require temporary files such as '.lck' files, which can be used to prevent multiple instances of their respective program until a task is completed, at which point the '.lck' file will be removed. Programs must not assume that any files or directories in /tmp are preserved between invocations of the program and files and directories located under /tmp will typically be deleted whenever the system is booted.
/var contains variable data; spool directories and files, administrative and logging data, pacman's cache, the ABS tree, etc. /var exists in order to make it possible to mount /usr as read-only. Everything that historically went into /usr that is written to during system operation (as opposed to installation and software maintenance) must reside under /var.
I really don't see the difference between usr and home on a typical Linux install, especially if you're the only person using the PC.
As for the other storage partition, I am using a primary NTFS partition for storage. I am using NTFS because I have access to the partition inside Windows and Linux, which makes swapping files around easy and I can use all of my Windows files in Linux and vice-versa.

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created? I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS). I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer? I think there probably isn't... If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks so much for your time.

I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

Steps to export and import oracle 10g databse from AIX to AIX and LINUX

Hi,
I need the steps to export the oracle 10g database from AIX server to AIX server and LINUX server.
Please give me all the steps as this is my first exort an import activity.
thanks,

For 10g there exist two ways to do so.
1) Regular exp/imp.
2) Data pump expdp/impdp.
As this is your first export and import activity, relevant concept understanding is mandatory for you.
Documentation Link
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/toc.htm
Read the chapters 1,2,3 (Data pump expdp/impdp) and 19 (regular exp/imp). Good luck.

Dual Boot Windows 8 and Linux?
