Flash behaves differently in windows and linux ?

There are some sites that flash doen't display too well (firefox/opera) in linux, but seems to work fine in windows. Is there a difference in the plugin for each OS?
try this:
http://www.asus.com/index.aspx
Wait for the page to finish loading, and then hover your mouse over the "products" link at the top of the page.. the drop down menu is now masked by the "asus webcam notebook ad". This doesn't happen in windows.. I've tried both arch package and the default flash installer, but get the same results.
Note: The drop down menu is visible if you use the flashblock extension and disable the ad.
Thanks..

yep, for some reason the linux flash plugin doesn't let the browser draw elements over the animations, which is especially annoying on websites like the one you mentioned where dropdown menus are used over a silly useless flash banner.
there are a LOT of things wrong with the flash plugin. macromedia hasn't really addressed them in a long long time
EDIT: which is why i wish the best of luck to the gplflash plugin developers.

Java program runs differently on Windows and Linux

Hi!
I would like to run a java application (which is written and run on windows platform) on linux platform. I don't know wether it is possible or not, but I tired on the following way:
I have made a small java application. It worked correctly on windows (I developed it on windows). I copied first only the class file (Start.class) to the linux machine (which has exactly the same JDK as windows machine). When I type the command:
java Startit gives me the folloving error:

javac Start.javabut the compiler gave me an error in the source file.
Is there any way to run the formerly written java application (on windows) on linux machine?
Thanks

Different behaviour on windows and linux

On a text field , I have attached a number converter, just to make sure that user enters the number else gets an error message.
Things looks fine but it behaves differently on windows and linux os.
When I am running this application on windows if user enters
123456.46, it is stored as it is i.e 123456.46 in MySQL db.
However, if run this on linux and if user enters 123456.46 then it is stored in MySQL db as 123456.460000000006402842700481414794921875
I am not sure where the problem is. Can somebody guide me about it.
Thanks.

Not sure why the behaviour is different, but coded to remove the extra fractions.

Dual booting in Windows and Linux, but only Linux has calendar, TB 31.0

I'm dual booting using Linux Mint and Windows 7. I have TB 31.0 installed in each OS. TB in Linux has calendar capability; in Windows, there's nothing (by nothing, I mean no calendars - I can't see their properties, for instance, nor access them in any way).
I should add that both Windows and Linux TB programs are sharing the same profile folder (located on a separate partition), hence, all the same add-ons, passwords, etc.
The error console logs the following:
Timestamp: 14/08/2014 6:41:33 PM
Error: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
Source File: resource://calendar/modules/calUtils.jsm -> file:///P:/PortableApps/ThunderbirdPortable/Data/profile/extensions/%7Be2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103%7D/calendar-js/calUtils.js
Line: 17
There are a variety of flow on errors, related to this.
My apologies for posting this in this way; I had intended to submit this via the crashreporter, but I'm having trouble getting the program to crash with this error just now.

A reply to my own question: it turns out that while sharing a profile works pretty well for most purposes, with Lightning it does not, as the extension has different Linux and Windows versions. The problem is solved quite simply: by not using the same profile for each version.
Glad to see that no one wasted time on this one (except me, of course).

RMI-server works on Windows and Linux but not on Solaris

Additional information about the common pitfalls which I have already checked:
* rmiregistry finds the server classes (the exception was different without them)
* the server is in the LAN and the desktop firewall of the client is double-checked to let the required ports through to any destination.

Clearly indicates what is happening inside there.Clearly indicates that you don't know what you are talking about.
Any applications invoked with a security manager must
be granted explicit permission to access local system
resources apart from read access to the directory and
its subdirectories where the program is invoked.Any application that gets a java.net.ConnectionException: Connection
refused is getting it more or less directly from the TCP/IP stack. If the problem had anything to do with policies and permissions and SecurityManagers, it would have been an AccessControlException .
if your client RMI doesnt include these lines then If your 'client RMI' does include these lines then I would like a definition of what exactly a 'client RMI' really is, because I've been using RMI for ten years and wrote a book about it and I certainly don't know.
1)just include these lines
if (System.getSecurityManager() == null) {
System.setSecurityManager(new
SecurityManager());In other words, if the application doesn't already have a security manager, in which case the contents of the policy file or the 'client RMI', or whatever you want to call it, are completely irrelevant, such that they couldn't possibly be having the problem you desrcribe, add a security manager so that we get into the land where you might possibly know what you're talking about?
e a policy file
grant {
permission java.net.SocketPermission
"192.168.1.123:1099", "accept,connect,resolve";
};And this is completely unnecessary if there isn't a security manager, and completely unrelated to the OP's problem.

Multiplataform Licens? Windows and Linux

Can the same licens of 10g 2 work for windows and linux envieromment, or it is necesary to buy different licens for windows and other different for linux. thanks

Hi,
As far as I know, if you will install and use ORACLE RDBMS software both on Windows and on Linux, you must have separate licenses for Windows and Linux.
However, if you have installed the Oracle DB software on Windows only and you want to transfer your database to a Linux box, then you do not have to buy another license. This is of course the same if you're going from Linux to Windows. But not both at the same time.
You will have to obtain new CD Install Packs to migrate from platform to another.

Differences on Windows and Linux JVM about java.util.zip package

Hello, there!
I need some help if someone else has already face this problem.
I have a Java server that process the bytes of a SWF File stored in the server and ouptut it to the user through a Servlet. The file was decompressed and re-compressed using the java.util.zip package (Deflater/Inflater).
Everything works fine on Windows Server 2008 server. But now we need to migrate the server to Linux. The problem is that when I test the website now, the file seens to be corrupted.
What really intrigues me is that everything runs normal on Windows Server configuration, when changed to Linux, the final file seens to be corrupeted... what could possible be the cause? Is there any difference between java.util.zip package on Window and Linux JVM?
My Windows Server is:
. Windows Server 2008 (6.0 - x86)
. Apache 2.2.11
. Tomcat 6.0.16.0
. Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04
My CentOS Server is
. CentOS 5.4 (2.6.18-164.15.1.el5 - i386)
. Apache 2.2.3
. Tomcat 6.0.16.0
. Java JDK 1.6.0_12-b04
Please, if someone could give me a lead, I would appreciate very much!
Thank you all in advance,
CaioToOn!

Thank you for the answer, but no. The path is correct.That's not what he meant. Zip file/directory entries are supposed to use / as the path separator. It is possible to use \ but such Zip files will only work under Windows. You may have erred here.Ohhh, I had really missunderstood what Ray said. But, I still think that this is not the problem, since the ZIP is a single SWF file generated by Flex SDK 3.4 and compressed in the ZLIB open standard (as in page 13, at [http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/pdf/swf_file_format_spec_v9.pdf|http://www.adobe.com/devnet/swf/pdf/swf_file_format_spec_v9.pdf] ). This is how Flash Compiler compress the files.
jschell wrote:
If the above suggestions do not solve the problem...Specify in detail with the exact steps used how you determined that it was corrupted.The reason why I believe the SWF is getting corrupted is that when it is loaded by Flash Player (in the client-side) the Player throws a VerifyError: Error # 1033. The [documentation says (see error 1033)|http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/runtimeErrors.html] that this error means that the SWF file is corrupted.
As I said, what intrigues me is that this work perfectly in a Windows Server 2008 server. I just had setup a CentOS server and deployed the application. The client-remains unchanged, so why could the result change?
raychen wrote:
I would remove the side effect you are doing and send the file straight through, with decompress and compress, the servlet. It is more likely that you have a bug in your swf processor than the zip library.
I had already tried it when first coding, in Windows Server 2008, it had not worked.
Thank you all for the help.

Executing WINWORD from both Windows and linux using Java

Dear All,
I have a problem when trying to use Runtime class to execute a winword document. My code is as follows.
Runtime r= Runtime.getRuntime();
try{
r.exec("rundll32"+" "+"url.dll,FileProtocolHandler"+" "+"WINWORD"+ " "+"file://C://welkom.doc");
catch(Exception ex){
System.out.println("Unable to open the doc file:"+ex);
When I execute this swing application with the above, the program is unable to open the specific file. And it says "Problem with the short cut, unable to open the file". When I run the program without the file name, it opens a new doc file.
Attn: what I want to do here is I need to open the winword file from both windows and linux. So I cannot use the relative path of the WINWORD.exe file.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Bala

If you take a look at the api, there's an exec(String[]) method. This is the one you should use when calling a command with multiple parameters.
so something like...
String[] cmd = new String[] {"rundll32", "url.dll,FileProtocolHandler", "WINWORD", "file://C://welkom.doc"}
r.exec(cmd);

File Path for Windows and Linux

hi can any one give solution how to implement code for odi file copy .
i am using Same Code for Windows and Linux
OdiFileCopy "-FILE=#Var_Lookup_File_Path \ Employee.csv" "-TOFILE=#Var_Lookup_File_Path_Backup\Employee.csv" "-RECURSE=NO" "-OVERWRITE=YES" "-CASESENS=NO"
the problem of above code is
it is working in windows but my Prod is Linux environment.
in linux \ not works.. / will work
please suggest how to concatnate variable and file without' \' '/'

Thanks Phani
i think in OS command also we may give path like #variable\File Name.
So how it will replace \ with / in Linux.
Could you give code for my Scenario..

Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?

1-Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?
2-I made three queries Q1,Q2 & Q3 and linked them with proper field links but suppose Q3 returns no records for some Q1&Q2 records & when the report runs for delimited options it reflects only those records as output for which all the queries return records(if Q3 returns no record then the related records from queries Q1,Q2 don't reflect) while the output in desformat=html or pdf is ok..
can you please resolve my problems
( I have installed patch 5a in my report server machine)
Thanks & Regds.

What do you mean by "different"? (In our
experience, Oracle html output has too many
columns, which are not visible in the
browser but are obvious in Excel.)
We build our own html programmatically, so
that Excel matches the browser more closely.

String.getBytes (java) o/p different in Windows and Unix

Hi,
I was trying out the following code, which gives me a byte array from a
String object.
byte[] bytArr = null;
bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("UnicodeBigUnmarked");
System.out.println(bytArr.toString());
The output is different in Windows and in Unix. The assumed that the reason could be because Intel architecture is based on little_endian so the difference in output. I changed the code to the following
bytArr = <String object>.getBytes("ISO8859_1");
and then ran the class file by using "java -Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1" so that the toString can also take the character encoding of ISO8859_1 rather than using the platform dependent one. Still the result is different in Windows and Unix.
What could be the reason for this? How can I correct this ? Any help in this regard is welcome.
cheers
kk

Hi Sabre150,
Thanks for the suggestion, it worked. Both the o/p shows the same if I use System.out.println(Arrays.toString(bytArr));
I am assigning full points to you. Thanks a ton for the help.
To end with I have one more question, the method Arrays.toString is introduced from jdk1.5, so if I want to use jdk 1.4 what should I use instead of Arrays.toString ?
It would be great if I can get this answer.
cheers

Is QT DVD Player different on Windows and MAC?

Is QT DVD Player different on Windows and MAC?
There is no such thing as a QT DVD Player. On the Mac there is a QT Player which does not play DVDs and there is a DVD Player which does. You are probably trying to compare the DVD Player on the Mac with the QT Player on the PC here.

If you are willing to spend money towards your problem, you are best off purchasing the most modern Intel based Mac that you can afford, albeit perhaps used or reconditioned, and run Windows and perhaps Mavericks there.
Having been a longtime user of Virtual PC on my iMac G5, I would not wish that experience on my worst enemy now that Intel Macs are so prevalent!

Opening a DOS Window and Linux Terminal

Can some tell me how to open a DOS Window and Linux/Unix Terminal window from within a Swing application using Runtime.getRuntime() (or whatever is correct). I've tried (for Windows 2000):
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process pr = rt.exec(command);
But it does not work.
Thanks

Ok.. I figured it out for Windows:
cmd /c start cmd.exe // windows 2000
Does anyone know the similar command on Linux/Unix to opening a terminal window.
Thanks
