Getting non supported commercial app to run on Arch?
Hi Everyone,
I'm in the process of converting my server from OpenSuse 10.3 to Arch. The rolling disto is the most significant thing for me as I do a lot of customisation and don't want to lose it between format/install cycles of new release ditros. e.g. Opensuse 10.3->11.0 for instance.
Arch is great and I'm finding it perfect for everything I've done to date but I've hit what might be a showstopper for me.
I use HP's Data Protector express for backup to LTO3 tape. It installs and runs find under opensuse (as it's supported for Suse Enterprise Server). With Arch however it fails to install. I've found that it's all about the kernel version and stdc libs. It seems to require libstdc++.so.5 and associated libraries. Arch provides libstdc++.so.6.
What I want to know is if there is any way at all to cludge this software into my Arch system. I can't off the top of my head think of any way to do it so I thought I'd throw it out to the knowledgeable masses.
Please let me know if there's anything you can think of. If not my only other option is to move all my backup regime over to Amanda or Bacula which is something I'm hesitant to do. DPExpress is gui driven and I'd like to keep a gui tool available for simplicity in backup specification and restore and I don't know of any other freeware backup solutions that allow that? Swapping over will also incur a decent restore/backup cycle as I don't have enough disk to restore everything then back it up again with other software.
Any ideas are welcomed.
Cheers,
Arkay.
Hi,
Thanks for the response
Funny you should mention that. After I posted the above I went hunting and found libstdc++.so.5 on my laptop Arch build. Then via pacman... DOH!
It's definitely not on my server build so I'll be installing that and re-trying when I get home. Hope that is all that's required.
Why is the most obvious sometimes not obvious at all!
Cheers,
Arkay.

So if I have a 1st or second gen ipod touch, where can I get old versions of apps that run on it?
An iTunes library you previously downloaded those versions to, or a backup of that library.

How get info about computer app is running on?
I am making an application that will have a license for running on only one computer at a time. I will have a license file that will hold info about the app, its version, etc. But I also want to put info about the computer that it's being installed on (none of that info will be sent to me, just saved in the license - enrypted - so the license can't be used on a diff computer). I do NOT want the OS name and version (they can change that) but the actual computer info.
I know some C/C++ programs can do this, but is there any way to get this info from java? Does anyone have any sample code or even just suggestions of places to look for this information? It'd be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!I know it's not a perfect solution - yes someone could
decompile it, but how many people do that or know how
to do that? Well, most semi-decent Java programmers know how to do that. Then they'll decompile and crack it and distribute it, provided that your
program actually is something good.
While doing what I suggest wouldn't stop
100% of the users from pirating my software (which I'm
attempting to make a living off of), it would stop
MORE than if I didn't do it.Probably it'd annoy more potential customers. It's a very bad idea to piss off the customers.
As for changing the HD, or even the computer it's on,
that would be totally possible. The app is equipped
with a way to invalidate the license so it won't work
on that computer, and contact my site to invalidate
the public key and then allow them to redo it on
another computer/HD. It all would take only about 2
minutes actually, so it's not even an inconvenience.As a potential customer I'd have to disagree.
I see no problem with that.Yes, but you're the author not the customer.
Do you or anyone else know of a way to do this, even
if not through Java, in C (JNI) or C++?Through JNI it's possible naturally, but I don't know the specifics.
The reason
it's a big deal is this: for a company like MS if only
20% of the users of their product actually pay for the
product, they're still making millions. If only 20% of
the users paid for mine, I wouldn't even have enough
money to live for 3 months!Get a job? :) Sorry, but seriously having copy protection isn't really going to make a difference. If your product is really good it will get cracked, if it's a specialized piece of software that won't be circulating in the mainstream, then a simple license check would suffice. -
[iPhone] Getting non-Nib simple app to work
Dear Experts,
I'm having trouble getting a trivial application with no Nib file to work.
One key thing is the need to pass the name of the AppDelegate class as the last parameter to UIApplicationMain(). Yet it still doesn't do anything. Here's the code:
main.m:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"HelloWorldAppDelegate");
[pool release];
return retVal;
HelloWorldAppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface HelloWorldAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow* window;
@end
HelloWorldAppDelegate.m:
#import "HelloWorldAppDelegate.h"
@implementation HelloWorldAppDelegate
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
- (void)dealloc {
[window release];
[super dealloc];
@end
All that that should do is create a window with a white background. When I run it in the simulator I just see a blank black background. Attempts to add other content as subviews of the window also result in nothing being visible.
I think that I must be missing some other bit of fundamental "plumbing" somewhere that would have been done for me my the nib file in a project that had one. Does anyone have any clues? Can anyone point me to some sample code that doesn't use a nib file? According to the debugger, my applicationDidFinishLaunching is being run.
Thanks in advance!
Phil.Thanks for the hint; here's the code again:
main.m:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
int retVal = UIApplicationMain(argc, argv, nil, @"HelloWorldAppDelegate");
[pool release];
return retVal;
HelloWorldAppDelegate.h:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface HelloWorldAppDelegate : NSObject <UIApplicationDelegate> {
UIWindow* window;
@end
HelloWorldAppDelegate.m
#import "HelloWorldAppDelegate.h"
@implementation HelloWorldAppDelegate
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application {
window = [[[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds]] autorelease];
window.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
[window makeKeyAndVisible];
- (void)dealloc {
[window release];

Issue getting a Adobe Air app to run.
I'm trying to run a app called Finetune, and sense it wouldn't run from shortcut so I copied and paste its command into terminal and it had this to say:
Code:
ME:~$ '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
The module is installed and for the fun of it I attempted to use getlib on the command (probably did it wrong too):
Code:
ME:~$ getlibs '/opt/Finetune'/'FinetuneDesktop'/bin/'FinetuneDesktop'
This application isn't missing any dependencies
Any thoughts?
I would like to add I am using Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) 64bit and have posted this issue on the Ubuntu Community forums, thus far no luck...Although finetune's site seems to reconize that Finetune Player is installed it just won't launch.Since this is a development question related to installing software not directly from the App store, I suggest you post this in the developer forum here:https://discussions.apple.com/community/developer_forums

Getting "Non supported character set: oracle-character-set-178" exception
Hi,
I am using Struts,spring,hibernate and database oracle 9i.
There are 2 modules developed by 2 units, both uses different versions of Spring and hibernate.As well one uses stored procedures and one uses prepared statements.
I am integrating both units together.
Unit A :-
ojdbc14.jar,hibernate3.jar and nls_charset12.jar
Unit B:
hibernate2.jar,ojdbc14_g-9.2.0.5.jar (means 9.2.0.5 version) or patch which has solutions for prepared statement bug in ojdbc14.jar , nls_charset12.jar
So my unit B works fine if i used latest version jars and nls_charset12.jar, but unit A fails in (at oracle.jdbc.oracore.OracleTypeCHAR.toDatum).
I placed nls_charset12.zip also but still same error. Can you please tell me whether there is any jar conflict or any of the spring/hibernate jar contains implementation which is clashing.
Thanks and Regds.
Sudarshan WadSudarshan,
Perhaps you need to use "orai18n.jar" instead of "nls_charset12.jar"? The Oracle JDBC FAQ has more details.
Good Luck,
Avi. -
i have a ipod touch 2g and after a restore none of my apps will restore because it says that i need a newer version of the ipod software to run them they all work fine till i did the restore . is there any way to get them back ?
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

A restart sometimes works -
When making a call, sometimes, my iPhone 5 , gets stuck on 'Calling' than I have to press END..but still nothing happens, than when I press HOME button, the call app keeps running in the background and it keeps saying CALLING... than I have to wait 2 - 3 minutes and call again.
please helpHas nothing to do with the SIM or master reset. This has been done to my phone. The SIM once and the factory reset many times over. You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract. I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong. I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts. The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

I am trying to install itunes (64 bit) after downloading Windows 8.1 on my HP Laptop. I keep getting an error message Windows Error 2--"Apple App;ication Support is required to run itunes helper" Does anyone have any simple suggestions for a user with limited knowledge of Computers?
With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you? If so, see if iTunes will launch without the error now.
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.) -
I recently updated my ipad and then I connected with my computer for sync, not realising that I had a new version of itunes with none of my apps. Now I have lost all of the apps and books etc, that I had prurchased. How do I get them back?
As long as the apps and ibooks are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

How can I get PowerPC support apps on my macbook?
I just switched to Mac OS X Lion yesterday and I feel like I just wasted a ton of money on something that now doesn't support all my school cd's and apps. How can I get software back on my computer to help get rid of the "Can't Open Because this isn't supported... Blah blah blah."
If this isn't figured out soon I am doing some serious talking tThese forums are to help, not to critize and be sarcastic.
You did not help.
I like to always start by treating people the way they treat others. I figure, if they treat others that way, they must want to be treated like that, too.
There is no way to get PowerPC support in Lion. You have to run Snow Leopard or lower to get PowerPC support.
There are various ways to configure a dual boot system or something like that, or you can revert back to PowerPC, or you can build an external drive that has Show Leopard on it to boot from when you need the apps.
Your best bet is to move on and find alternatives. If that is not possible, go back to Snow Leopard. -
Am I the only one getting bad quality youtube videos when running on LTE? When I'm on wifi they seem fine but I switch to lte it looks bad on the youtube app and on safari.
I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?
