Different problems on different architectures

The 64 bit installer can't see my hard drive. cfdisk gives a fatal error for any of the usual /dev/ candidates, and a quick check through /dev/ seems to suggest that none of them are there.
The normal installer has no trouble seeing or partitioning my hard drive, but it can't configure my network connection OR see the CD-ROM drive.
The hard-drive problem I already know has to do with the JMicron SATA controller and there doesn't appear to be anything anyone can do about it right now.
The other two, on the contrary, are inexplicable. There's nothing spectacular or special about my network hardware or my CD drive. No other distro has any trouble with them in either 32 or 64 bit mode.
lspci says something like this about it:
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Unknown device 8168 (rev 01)
Subsystem: ABIT Computer Corp. Unknown device 1074
ifconfig (the xx are to censor what I suspect is my real MAC address)
eth0 Link encap:UNSPEC HWaddr xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
dhcpd just dies instantly and drops back out, and the frontend in the installer reports failure
Here is the state of support for this hardware outside of Arch:
Windows XP HDD, ethernet, CD-ROM
openSUSE HDD, ethernet, CD-ROM
Ubuntu HDD, ethernet, CD-ROM
Fedora CD-ROM, ethernet
Slackware none
Long story short, I recommend steering well clear of this mobo and any like it:
http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/pro … &model=319
Oh, and this isn't really a support request. I accept that my stuff's not compatible yet, and I really just wanted to make this info available.

What kernel was openSUSE, Ubuntu, and Fedora using to have that sort of hardware detection.
Realize that slackware still, by default, gets shipped out with the 2.4 kernel tree, with 2.6 still being in extra or testing (or some such nonsense like that).
Note: different distributions are not different operating systems.

Jdk rpm problem for amd64 architecture

I downloaded jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64.rpm and tried to sign it using our key (via rpm --addsign). After signing, package was broken which is a known issue with earlier RPM-BUILD versions.
Is it possible that you create this package using newer (newest) version of RPM-BUILD as that would avoid the present bug and deploying of jdk on RedHat Enterprise 64 systems will be easier (up2date process needs signed RPMs)
Described problem is not present on 32bit RPMS.

Totally agree.
Facing the same issue. Need 2 jdks - one for the application we host and one for the monitoring software. First of all, packaged in a .bin file, which you can get around by running extract, but in the end the big issue is that both rpms name themselves "jdk" - making it hard to automate and manage what a huge pain. With different versions, you have to make sure you install both, and don't accidentally upgrade. Wish Sun would address this. Why bother making an RPM for the Linux community if it doesn't work in a practical manner?

Emulator problem with 64bit Architecture

Hi All,
I'm having a problem with my WTK Version 2.5.2 for CLDC.

When I was searching for a solution I found post related to the same error "http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5217069"
and there I got the solution. from the post send by don_mahantya post 41.
I was facing the same problem as well.
I use Netbeans 6.7.1 on openSUSE 11.1 64-bit and I would get the error whenever I tried to invoke the Java ME emulator.
All I did was edit the emulator script i.e.
$ vi /opt/netbeans/netbeans-6.7.1/mobility8/WTK2.5.2/bin/emulator
and I added the path to the 32-bit Java directory
javapathtowtk=/opt/java/jdk1.6.0_14-32bit/bin/
NOTE: Make sure to put 'bin/' at the end
Hope it helps.. works for me The same solution works with my case very well.
I wonder why can't I use Java 64bit with this WTK ?
Is there a diferent WTK version to use with 64bit? I'm using WTK which comes with NetBeans 6.9.1

I had the exact same problems (MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 + Intellitype 7.0), and it was driving me nuts. But I've found a solution (as laid out on my blog @ http://carlo.zottmann.org/2009/09/11/upgrading-to-snow-leopard/):
Get Ukulele (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?siteid=nrsi&itemid=ukelele), the Unicode keyboard layout editor. After downloading it, look around the DMG and find these two files: LogitechGerman.keylayout and LogitechGerman.icns. After copying them to the /Library/Keyboard Layouts/, all that's left is opening the Language & Text preference pane and activating the "Logitech German" layout.
At that point, the Intellitype drivers can be uninstalled, but that'll disable most of the keyboard's special function keys (1-5, ★, home/search/email/calculator).
Hope this helps!

Creating a standby on different host

Hi ,
We are planning to create a cross platform standby database.
our source db is on IBM AIX and standby will be on HP-UX.
oracle db version: 11.2.0.1
Is it possible to create a standby when primary and secondary will be on different host.
your suggestion are appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Yes .. you can't do that.
For each architecture Oralce build their own binaries. (i.e Processor Power has is different binaries from Processor Intel)
For some architectures, Oracle succeeded in creating compatibility between some different architectures, the Table on note 413484.1 describe it.
Oracle has certified to use AIX (Power) with Solaris (SPARC), but because of bug (12702521) Oracle reported it's no longer certified.
In your case (AIX) there is no compatibility with others plataform. AIX binaries is compatible only with itself. (e.g Processor Power 4 with Processor Power 7)
If you still think about creating a DR environment, using a different platform (In your case AIX) you must search about use the Oracle Golden Gate or Oracle Streams.

How are these processors different?

I purchased a MacBook Air last summer and it came with this processor, 2.0GHz Intel Dual-Core Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz. The top speed processor of the newly announced MacBook Air has this processor, 1.7GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.3GHz. How are they different?
Seems the summer 2012 processor is a faster processor. Did Apple downgrade the processor in the new MacBook Air?

The new processors are a different architecture. They use significantly less power and offer something like a 40% improvement in graphics performance (this is probably the most significant improvement). There would be a nominal difference in actual CPU performance regardless of the 300MHz difference. So the new processors are actually a decent upgrade.

Are /usr/ubc binaries different than /usr/bin binaries?

Hi,
I am running SunOS 5.8 and I have following questions about solaris distribution:
1. Are /usr/ucb binaries different than regular binaries like /usr/bin etc...
Because at file level they appear to be the same:
e.g. ps
$ ls -ltr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/ps
2. Are /usr/ubc binaries are part of standared solaris distribution?
Thanks

Hi,
I am running SunOS 5.8 on SPARC I assume...
and I have following
questions about solaris distribution:
1. Are /usr/ucb binaries different than regular
binaries like /usr/bin etc...Yup (at least most of the time). /usr/ucb/ gives some behavior of older BSD systems for compatibility.
Because at file level they appear to be the same:
e.g. ps
$ ls -ltr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 38 root bin 5.2K Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/psThis is a side effect of a feature called 'isaexec'. You'll notice the link count is 38, so this file is linked as 38 different names.
The 'ps' command looks through /proc, so the binary has to match the currently running kernel architecture (whether 32-bit or 64-bit). 'isaexec' allows you to have multiple binaries that are called properly based on architecture.
On my machine:
# ls -litr /usr/ucb/ps /usr/bin/ps /usr/lib/isaexec
18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/ucb/ps
18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/lib/isaexec
18227 -r-xr-xr-x 37 root bin 5256 Jan 5 2000 /usr/bin/ps
So all 'isaexec' does is look for a binary with the same name as it was called in the architecture specific directories. So for /usr/ucb/ps, it's these:
# ls -l /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 23504 Jul 15 2005 /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 32264 Jul 15 2005 /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
And for /usr/bin/ps It's these:
# ls -l /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root sys 29196 Jul 15 2005 /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps
-r-sr-xr-x 1 root sys 38536 Jul 15 2005 /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps
So different binaries (and different architectures):
# file /usr/bin/sparcv7/ps /usr/bin/sparcv9/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps /usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps
/usr/bin/sparcv7/ps: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
/usr/bin/sparcv9/ps: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
/usr/ucb/sparcv7/ps: ELF 32-bit MSB executable SPARC Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
And you can use 'truss' to see how this works:
/usr/ucb/sparcv9/ps: ELF 64-bit MSB executable SPARCV9 Version 1, dynamically linked, stripped
Note that this feature (isaexec) has nothing specifically to do with /usr/ucb. It's used by any system binary that needs separate versions for 32-bit vs 64-bit to run properly. (truss, p*, uptime, ...)
2. Are /usr/ubc binaries are part of standared
solaris distribution?There's only one "Solaris" distribution, so yes. I believe they get installed at the 'user' installation level and above, but you'd have to check on that.

Pipilined block with latches driven by different clock in FPGA

Hi,
   Thanks for the previous help. I have made some progress using Labview FPGA. Actually, I have had a CORDIC running in the 5640R FPGA. However, the CORDIC I just implemented is unrolled bit-parallel pipelined FPGA which consumes too many slices on the FPGA. Now I turned to implement a bit-serial pipelined architecture and I met the following programming problem.
   The architecture I want to implement is in the attached.
   The blue blocks are combinatorial logic. In ths previous design, there are several large block between each latches in red. Say, the red latch latches every 24 ms. In order to implement bit-serial, I have to divide one large block into four smaller block and implement mux and demux. Now I had 5 new latches in green, each latches every 4 ms.
   Any hints on how to programme this structure into Labview? I would really appreciate the help.
David
ps: The second attached picutre is the unfinished code for the small block.

You should use a Single-Cycle Timed Loop to have more control over the timing of your code. You can use feedback nodes or shift registers as registers and case structures or the select tool to determine what gets written to the registers and when.
I envision your code to look something more like this:

Joseph D.

Problem with date and timezone

Hello,
I am encountering a problem with the command new java.util.date() on a hpux 11 machine.
The "date" from command line returns:
Tue Oct 26 18:02:02 MEST 2004
And the date from java returns:
Tue Oct 26 17:02:02 GMT+01:00 2004
It is as if the JVM was running on another timezone than the machine. The only change we made is an upgrade from java 1.2.2.04 to 1.2.2.17. Our old java program running since 2000 hasn't changed nor the others environment files.
Does anyone has an explaination? Javadoc for jav.util.date does not speaks of timezone.
Thanks in advance,
Valere

I have tried, it is the same pb with java 1.4.
How to set the default timezone for a JVM?
Concerning the patch, we have several others worksations running well with 1.2.2.04 (except a small display bug that i wanted to correct by upgrading the JVM). To my knowledge, this patch is not installed on any of them.
Another way to investigate, it seems that the java version installed on the others stations refers to java 3D. What is it? It has a different architecture than standard jre, but java -version seems exactly the same (except the version number itself).
Mayday, mayday!

N93 Display Problem

Hi guys:
I'm posting this message in hopes that someone out there will be able to give me a hand with my N93.
I'll start the story RIGHT from the begining and in future will send people back to this location to read it as I'm fed up repeating it to different people.
Approx 1 month ago, my sister received some fans on eBay she had bought, but was away, so I thought I would take a pic and MMS it to her. I turned the phone into photo mode and took the a couple of pics, then chose the send picture icon from the camera screen. It went into the MMS editor, so I then turned the phone back to portrait mode to start to type in some text. Here's where the problem started. The phone I thought had got 'stuck' in landscape mode. So I thought I'd do a restart. The outside screen turned on, displayed Nokia, then the internal screen turned on, the Nokia hands with the familiar ding ding ding ding ding. Finally - to the active standby screen. Cool I thought, just a glitch. I work in IT, I know these things sometimes happen. A couple of seconds later, the screen rotates landscape again but opens up the camera. I think it must somehow have remembered I had the camera open before, so ignore this and exit the camera application...The screen stays landscape. OK - so I want to send the picture to my sister, I'll struggle texting with the display in landscape. I go to the Images folder on my memory card, and then send via mms. Again the MMS editor opens and I start to try to type in some text. The keypad doesn't work again. Whats going on??! Perhaps one of the apps I had installed had messed it up (at the time only the Gmail, Google Maps and Opera 4 Beta), I'd to a full reset - so I tried, but I couldn't enter the pin code as the keypad didn't work. I'd updated the firmware a few months previous to all of my problems and, I had backed everything up so I thought I would try again. I connected up the N93 to my PC, downloaded the phone software updater and started the process. It wasn't as scary as it was the first time I did it as its a relatively pain free (or what I thought painfree) process. It recognized the phone, downloaded the update then started to install. Nothing to do now but sit back and wait for it to finish. About 5 mins later panic set in...The firmware updater told me an error had occured. It suggested removing the battery and power cable on the phone, then put the battery back in and the power cable back in and reconnect the USB cable. So I did it. Once again the firmware updater recognized the phone, and proceeded to install the firmware again. 5 mins later, the same thing happened. I tried what it suggested again, but same problem. Damn! I disconnected it, left it a while and tried again, but didn't have much faith. Yes, it did it once more. So now when turning the phone on, it did nothing. The external screen lit up, but no Nokia logo. So I was thinking perhaps the phones ROM couldn't find a boot image as it hadn't been written properly. I browsed the Nokia website for a local repair center and took it there. I explained what had happened, and they said that it was covered by a 25 month warranty. I got it in September 2006, and was covered until November 08. Great I thought, they took down my details and then asked me to phone the following Monday to see the status of the repair. I called up to find out if my phone was ready, it was. Hurrah I thought, they'd somehow forced the firmware to load. I asked when I could collect it and they said at lunch time. So I asked if it was fixed, 'No sir, the engineer has stated that there is liquid damage and is therefore not covered by the warranty'. ??! So we've gone from a software problem to a hardware problem now. I go back to the store during my lunch break and collect my phone. I ask to speak to the engineer who looked at the phone. I asked him to show me the liquid damage. He removed the housing from behind the main display and pointed to something. OK - so I'm no phone technician but I couldn't see anything. He states that it probably got wet some time ago, but water is like acid and doesn't break the phone immediately, but over time. He's bullsh*tting me now...I try to keep calm as the closest my phone has ever come to water was when I left it in my bag on the shore when diving one day. It has been my pride and joy for so long I have kept it in very good condition and away from anything that could have damaged it. Besides - this was a software issue initially...why on earth did he have to open the phone up in the first place? Surely he could see that yes, the phone turned on, but couldn't see any firmware to load and just sat there? Oh they do it to cover themselves. Ok I thought, perhaps they do check as not everyone is so honest when they send in their phones. So anyway - I get the phone back and its useless to me again.
A co-worker who went with me to pick up my phone can't believe what he is hearing either. He then offers to take my phone to another repair guy he once used who was very good. He looks at it, and tries to reinstall the firmware but no luck. He sends it 30 miles away for one of his co-workers to look at, he tries to reinstall the firmware, nothing.
Finally - thinking my phone is a brick, I look on the Nokia website once more for some help. There is a freepost repair service that I can send my phone to for Nokia to fix. Brilliant - Nokia will know what to do! They'll see its a firmware issue, they'll reinstall the firmware. I phone them up to ask if my reinstalling the firmware and it failing would constitute voiding the warranty. The guy on the end of the phone states that no, sometimes it happens, but its 'most likely to be down to virus' on the PC and they get into the phone and cause problems'...As I stated earlier, I work in IT and have done for the last 9 years since I left school. I'm not saying I know everything about everything, but I know that PC Virus' can be transported from PC to PC via a phone if there was say an infected file on it, but a PC virus onto a phone? Come on! Its a different operating system and its a completely different architecture!!! I'm doubting any virus code designed for x86 PC's would run on an ARM chip. So I decide to sent it off anyway.
So - the reason I'm posting this, is because yes Nokia did kindly reinstall the firmware. Hurrah I thought. But after a few seconds, the screen flips to landscape. It seems the original problem is back again. AND they have printed out a photo with an arror pointing at some resistor or something and a lable stating liquid damage. Now either the Authorized Repair Center updated some database I don't know about stating that my phone had a problem and how to find it, or they did look at the phone and find the this 'liquid' damage.
I just can't see how they say its liquid damage. I've been so careful with it. I can't see how its been working flawlessly since I received it last September to all of a sudden refuse to rotate the screen to portrait and for the keypad to stop working.
OK. so the question I'm asking is...Is there anyone out there that can look at this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8twaFYswu0
And give me any advice what to do except put it on eBay for spares. It looks like the S60 OS is booting up now, but there is some app that is launching at startup to activate the camera, then not gracefully quitting the app once you choose Exit. I can't seem to find any way to browse the filing system on my phone except the File Manager which doesn't show hidden files. I also can't install anything on the phone at the moment as whenever I try to transfer any software over via bluetooth it ask for a passcode and....you've guessed it....the keypad doesn't work, so I can't do it that way. I've tried doing it via USB but I get permission not authorized when I copy over any .sis or .sisx files.
Thank you for reading!
Rich

I've got a similar problem with my N93. It occurred on Sat 29th September.
I was using the phone in camera mode and then flipped it round to close. Since then it will only display in landscape and the camera modes no longer function.
If you reboot, then for a brief few seconds it starts up in Portrait mode and then rotates to the landscape mode.
The phone is pretty much useless to me in this state.
Any ideas?

Problem using local variable in event loop

I have a state machine from which I want to monitor various controls, including "Start" and "Stop" buttons. Not every state needs to monitor the controls. At present, most states run timed loops. In the first state that reads the front panel, I have an Event structure (inside a While loop) that monitors the various controls' Change Value events. For numeric controls, I update variables (in shift registers) as needed. The "Start" button is used to end the While loop controlling the Event structure, allowing the State to exit to the next state.
My problem comes in subsequent states that employ this same idea. Here, I put a Local Variable bound to the Start button and use the same code, but it frequently happens that when I enter this particular state, I cannot "turn on" the control -- I push the button, but it stays off. Curiously, if it was On when I enter, I can turn it off, but then I'm stuck not being able to turn it on.
I mocked up a very simply routine that illustrates this. There are two sequences (corresponding to the two states). Both use an Event loop with a local variable bound to my Stop button (really this is an LED control with custom colors). I've deliberately moved the "initialization" (the declaration of the control in the block diagram) out of the Event loops -- putting it inside the first loop modifies the behavior in another strange way.
Here's my thinking on how I would expect this to work: The code outside Event Loop 1 should have little effect. Assume the Stop button is initially Off. You will "sit" in Event Loop 1 until you push the Stop button, changing its value to True; this value will be passed out of the Event case and cause the first While loop to exit. You now enter the second sequence. As I understand the Exit tunnel, it defaults to "False", so I'd expect to stay in the second Event loop until I turn the Stop button from On to Off, which will pass out a False, and keep me in the While for one more button push. However, this doesn't happen -- I immediately exit, as though the "True" value of the Stop local variable is being seen and recognized by the Event loop (even though it hasn't changed, at least not in the context of this second loop).
An even more curious thing occurs if I start this routine with the Stop button turned on. Now I start in my Event loop waiting for a change, but this time the change will be from On to Off, which won't cause an exit from the frame. This will be reflected by having the While loop count increment. We should now be in the state of the example above, i.e. in an Event loop waiting for the control to be pushed again, and turned On. However, clicking the control has no effect -- I cannot get it to "turn on".
Where am I going astray in my thinking? What is it about this method of doing things that violates the Labview paradigm? As far as I can tell, what I'm doing is "legal", and I don't see the flaw in my reasoning, above (of course not -- otherwise I'd have fixed it myself!). Note that because I'm using local variables inside Event loops (and I'm doing this because there are two places in my code where I want to do such testing), the Stop control is not latching (as required). Is there something that gets triggered/set when one reads a latched control? Do I need to do this "manually" using my local variable?
I'll try to attach the simple VI that illustrates this behavior.

That's interesting. I had always thought I read more messages discouraging such a thing rather than saying it was okay. Your link lead me to another thread with this message. http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=245793#M245793. Now that thread was mainly concentrating on registered user events which would be a different, but related animal.
So if you have 2 event structures they each have their own event queue? So if you have a common event, one structure pulls it off its event queue and it does not affect the other structure's event queue? I guess the inherent problem with this particular VI was that the second event structure locked the front panel. Since the code never got to that 2nd event structure because the first loop never stopped because the change was from true to false. After reading your post and the others, I did some experimentation and turned off the Lock front panel on the 2nd structure, and that prevented the lockup of the program.
Overall, the example VI still shows problems with the architecture and I think your answer should put the original poster on the right track. I think as a rule I would probably never put the same event in multiple structures, I feel there are better ways to communicate the same event between different parts of a program, but I learned something by reading your reply and about how the event structures work in the background. Thanks.

Resolving problem with ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

hello i just to write a few word about my installation of oracle database 9i
My installation is on a Red Hat AS3
I have a problem with the error :ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
The one who read this know what about i tell.
The authorization is only for the user which Group is DBA as you can read everywhere.
but me when i tried groupadd dba => it tells group already exist.
but i can't find the group dba in the file /etc/group.
So i tried to make my user 'oracle' works with the 'already group exist' dba .
useradd -g dba oracle
but when i tried to start the database i create i have the message. : ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
i tried to add manualy the group dba to /etc/group (as i can read in websites)
and add a user manualy (/etc/passwd).
But does works.
I try all i can during 1 days long.
I was really upset because nothing that i read work.
finaly I go to the RedHat Menu (things i don't really do normaly on LINUX) and go to 'SYSTEM SETTINGS' and choose 'User and Group'
Here i can see my user 'Oracle' I get the property of the user .
there is a tab group ( 'select the group that the user will be member of:')
None of them where name DBA so i decidied to select all of them and tried.
MAGIC!!! then it works!!!
ps: after when i see the list of the group I saw that one of them is named 'SYS' . I really think that it is the one group i had to select. but don't know.
Now It is working for me so... And good luck for you. bye.

Errors
ORA-01031 "insufficient privileges"
Symptoms
During database upgrade phase using DBUA , it fails with error
ORA-1031 Insufficient privileges
Connection from sqlplus also fails with same error
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQLPLUS "conn / as sysdba"
ORA-1031 Insufficient privileges
Changing the REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE to SHARED / NONE does not make differen
Cause
ORACLE_HOME owner oramigts is part of OS group "dba" ,but config.s shows group "g680"
The 'OSDBA' and 'OSOPER' groups are chosen at installation time and usually both default to the group 'dba'.
These groups are compiled into the 'oracle' executable and so are the same for all databases running from a given ORACLE_HOME directory.
The actual groups being used for OSDBA and OSOPER can be checked thus:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
cat config.[cs]
Solution
To implement the solution, please execute the following steps:
1. Checked the ORACLE_HOME owner.
echo $ORACLE_HOME
/h02/app/oracle/product/9.2.0_64
cd / h02/app/oracle/product/
ls -l
drwxr-xr-x 58 oramigts dba 1024 Jan 2 2004 9.2.0_64
2.ORACLE_HOME software owner "oramigts" is part of group "dba"
3.Checked file $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/config.s
[If your platform has config.c:
Due to the way different compilers under different architectures generate
assembler code, it's not possible to give a universal rule.]
It shows dba group as "g680" where software owner is part of "dba" group
You can more find detail on config.s / config.c in the following doc.
Note 50507.1 SYSDBA and SYSOPER Privileges in Oracle
4. Modified the config.s for correct group.
.ascii "g680\0"
to
.ascii "dba\0"
7. mv config.o config.o.bak
8. make -f ins_rdbms.mk config.o ioracle
9. Checked the file config.o is created at $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
10. Connected / as sysdba thru Sqlplus from 9.2 Home, which connected sucessfully.

Problems with the par file of Browse Deployment

Hi,
I had an error message with the com.sap.portal.support.browse.default in Browse deployment, that this iView is not found.
Fortunately I had a file with the same name, so I uploaded it, but it was the wrong one (Why do they all have the same file name?). I uploaded the par file of the masthead, so every time i click on the browse deployment link I get the masthead and now I have no chance to download other par files.
Do I still have the right iView on the Server or in the Portal? If yes, where? Or can anybody send me the right par file?
e-Mail: Ulli_Arndt(at)gmx.de
Thanks in advance!
greetings,
Ulrike

Hello Ulrike,
Most companies use different servers for development and Production. The Browse Deployment Option should be used only with the development server. If you're going to use it with the Production server, there could be problems, as the two servers have a different architecture.
Once you sign in to the DEVELOPMENT SERVER using your user id, ensure that you have the Systems Administration Role and click on the tab corresponding to the same.
Then select Support.
Select Portal Runtime.
Select Browse Deployment.
Once you do this, you'll see a filepath on top of the page just below the top level navigation area. Here's where most people commonly make a mistake.
Ensure that the breadcrumb is EXACTLy as follows:
ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/temp
If this is not the case, clcik on ROOT in the filepath displayed on your screen and navigate along the filepath above so you reach the correct iView.
You should now see a list of files with the extension .par.bak.
Upon downloading any of these files, the downloaded .rar file for most of the files with have the same filename. Once you unzip this file once or twice, you'll get a .par.bak file with the same filename as the one you downloaded. Rename the extracted .par.bak file by removing the .bak extension. You'll be left with a .par extension now.
You can now import this file in NWDS and work on it as required.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have anyfurther questions. Screenshots are alsways helpful, especially of the filepath on the top of your screen.
Regards,
Farsheed

Problem: Scalable canvas with affine transformation

I'm trying to create a canvas that can be scrolled and is scalable through affine transformations. This, I'm trying to achieve by adding a control component to an existing Canvas that listens for MouseEvents and masks the area outside the area defined by the canvas when the control component is created. The base for this component was http://gasi.ch/blog/zooming-in-flash-flex/.
Next I'm explain how the component is supposed to work and then on to the problem.
This is how the canvas is created. In the constructor MouseListeners and a mask canvas is added to dragCanvas.
          var canvasControl:MatrixCanvasMouseControl = new MatrixCanvasMouseControl(dragCanvas);
The listeners work pretty much the same way as in the link I mentioned earlier. So on to the scaling which is the problem.
The scaling is done by first scaling the dragCanvas with method scaleAt(...):
/** START OF MOUSE WHEEL LISTENER */
          // CUT
          // get the mouseevent position in stage
          var eventStagePoint:Point = new Point();
                    eventStagePoint.x = event.stageX;
                    eventStagePoint.y = event.stageY;
          // scale dragCanvas at that point with scaleAt
          scaleAt(canvas, zoomIn, zoomIn, canvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).x, canvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).y);
          // CUT
/** END OF MOUSE WHEEL LISTENER */
         * Scales the matrix through affine transformation.
        public static function scaleAt(sprite:Sprite, scaleX:Number, scaleY:Number, originX:Number, originY:Number):void
            var translateMatrix:Matrix = sprite.transform.matrix;
            // move to origo to preserve form
            translateMatrix.translate(-originX, -originY);
            // scale the matrix
            translateMatrix.scale(scaleX, scaleY);
            // move back to originX, originY
            translateMatrix.translate(originX, originY);
            sprite.transform.matrix = translateMatrix;
This scales the maskCanvas also. Next I'm trying to scale the maskCanvas back to it's original position by:
          MatrixHelper.scaleAt(maskCanvas, (1 / zoomIn), (1 / zoomIn), maskCanvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).x * (1 / zoomIn), maskCanvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).y * (1 / zoomIn));
The problem is that when the Canvas is scaled, the mask changes it's position when I try to scale it back to it's original size and position (as it's size and position changed when dragCanvas was scaled because maskCanvas is a child of dragCanvas).
This might not be the best way to achieve scrolling. I also thought about extending Canvas and creating a parent Canvas that would contain dragCanvas and maskCanvas as it's children. That way scaling one would not affect the other. The problem with this was that I didn't find a way to do that without overriding Canvas functionality. If anyone knows and could explain how this could be done effectively for example by "decorating" it would be great.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me with this. I've struggled with it for quite a few hours already.
I know I haven't explained everything clearly, so, please, ask me to clarify things more, if this was not understandable.

OK, I found a hacky solution to my problem by going through every rawChildren of the canvas and then scaling it if it's id didn't match with the one I created in the mouseControl component.
This does not seem like a very elegant way but at least it works.
I'm pretty sure that this should be done whole differently architecturally but I'm not experienced enough to find that way.
So this is how I did it.
for (i = 0; i < canvas.rawChildren.numChildren; i++) {
     child = canvas.rawChildren.getChildAt(i) as Object;
     if (!child is DisplayObject) {
          continue;
     transformAllowed = false;
     displayChild = DisplayObject(child);
     if (displayChild.hasOwnProperty("id") && (displayChild["id"] == "maskCanvas" || displayChild["id"] == "mouseControlArea")) {
          transformAllowed = false;
     } else {
          transformAllowed = true;
     if (transformAllowed) {
          MatrixHelper.scaleAt(displayChild, zoomOut, zoomOut, canvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).x, canvas.globalToLocal(eventStagePoint).y);

Xcode building to both architectures when I only want one?

I have a fairly simple (one source file) command line application in C which was written for Linux but ought to run in OSX as long as I can provide its dependencies (some GNU libraries). I compiled/installed the GNU libraries it needed using Fink. Fink only builds Intel binaries, since I am using an Intel Mac. Because of this, I need Xcode to only try to compile my little application as an Intel (i386) binary, and not try to make a PPC binary or a Universal binary.
I opened "Project" -> "Edit Project Settings..." -> clicked on the "Build" tab and went to the "Architectures" setting. I made sure it said only "i386" and did a Clean and then another Build. However I can clearly see in the build log that Xcode is invoking the compiler and linker twice each -- once for each CPU architecture. After compiling the PPC version of my code it will fail to link, because there are no PPC versions of its dependencies (the GNU libraries).
Why is Xcode doing this, and is there a second setting that I haven't found, to make it ONLY build an Intel binary?

I tried your experiment and saw a similar problem... I'm on a PPC Mac though. Initially the standard tool was building a Universal Binary even though the Project Info -> Build -> Architectures was just set to "ppc".
So first I tried going to the "General" pane of the Project Info window and switching the pop-up at "Cross-Develop Using Target SDK:" from "Mac OS X 10.4 (Universal)" to "Current Mac OS"... That still tried to build a universal binary only this time I got several errors on the Intel link phase because the "Current OS" SDK contained no Intel libraries.
However there appears to be a different Architectures setting on a per Target basis.
In your "Groups & Files" pane expand the "Targets" group and select your target. Then click the "Info" button in the toolbar (or select "File -> Get Info") to get to the Target Info window. Select the "Build" pane... On my machine the "Architectures" setting here was set to both "ppc" and "i386". Turning off the "i386" here fixed my problem and allowed it to build only for ppc.
I'm not sure how these Target settings roll up into what you see in the Project settings. But it does seem kind of odd.

Upgrading from panther to tiger problems

Hi i recently purchased Tiger discs from ebay to upgrade my panther system. As most applications now need 10.4 or about (including the new ipods which i have just found out after buying one). Now I have a g4 1.67 ghz powerbook and when i boot it with the install disc in it i get a kernel panic about how the disc has been formatted only for macbook and cannot be used on a power book. I wish i knew this before i bought the discs.. i plan on upgrading to leopard soon anyway but for now, is there anyway around my problem with the macbook install discs and trying to install them on an older power book?
cheers

No. They will not work ever. MacBooks have a totally different architecture. You bought what is called a machine specific disk; meant to install on only the model it shipped with. It came with a MacBook and will only install on that exact model.
See if you can send it back. E-Bay has alot of machine specific disks for sale. That is why most of us here don't recomend buying OS software on E-Bay.
The Retail disk is black in color. PriceGrabber.com lists one for sale for at Amazon.com.
Cheers! DALE
