How do i display a Linux OS on my iMac?

Hi,
How could I go about wirelessly viewing a Linux OS environment (hosted on a separate system) on my iMac? Could this be achieved via WI-FI, and if so, how? I am learning how to run a web server within the Linux Enterprise OS and ideally would like to be able to manage it wirelessly, whether via wi-fi, a wireless USB device or even the internet?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

franmartineza,
You need to be much much more descriptive, we need to know what iMac you have, what version of OS X it came delivered with and what version of OS X you currently have and what version you want installed. We also don't even know if you're talking about OS X or Linux, MS Windows or what! Without any of that information we cannot give you any information.
We are all volunteer end users just like you, so you have to throw us a bone so we can help you.
Finally please complete your profile, if you don't know how please click Profile Update

How can I display multiple CPUs on my new iMac i7?

In activity monitor on one of my MBPs, I can see both CPU Usage graphs. But on my new iMac (4 core), I only see one. Is there a way to see all four?

That did not work. Any other ideas?
no. this should work. you can try getting a 3rd party app like istat menu or the istatpro widget but they should all show the same thing as the activity monitor.

W540 - Sound and Display in Linux

Hey dear supporter/user/reader!
After calming down due to the vast loss in quality of the new Lenovo ThinkPads (2.2k€ for such a plastic toy - rly?) I started installing a Debian sid with XFCE d/e. There were a couple of problems to solve, especially this rattly one-click-fits-all clickpad needed a lot of caring and compiling. And not to forget the first two days of my odyssey trying to boot up the machine with my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD installed with any format, partition table protocol or whatever firmware loaded - which was a sobering and vain experience. I ended up taking another SSD from my studio desktop which isn't only half the size but slower, too. 2.2k€ for a machine unable to boot a regular SSD - rly? Whatever, posting my whole snaggling-list would go far beyond the scope of this thread and we all know how capitalism and "consulting" works - so let's look forward.
There are lots of problems left but some of the major ones are:
Bad sound in Linux
Bad color reproduction from the 3k display in Linux
Sound:
In Windows the sound is quite nice. I know that it's a problem of alsa/pulseaudio drivers and that the community has to create appropriate drivers first. But there's no information around by now about the capabilities of the installed sound chip to create some usable workarounds:
Is there a subwoofer built in?
Or other channels/speakers I can route some signals to?
How is this full, brilliant and wide sound achieved in Windows?
Because just using the stereo speakers at the front edge of the notebook sounds really crappy. Routing the signal through an equalizer gets back some of the highs and the "bass" and eliminates some of the bugging mids around 1.5k but it is still far from the sound experience in Windows. And it brings in some problems because I have to setup a dirty workaround via DBus to select different presets in the e/q depending on the selected output device (speakers or headphone jack) which introduces more and more problems with muted channels after plugging a headphone aso.
Display:
The colors look quite okay in Windows, in Linux it's a yellowish-green mess. Since I read about the pretty poor quality of the built-in colorimeter before I ordered this device I didn't buy it in anticipation of the tutorials about using the Windows color profiles in Linux. Unfortunatley copying the profiles from the Windows HDD (C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\drivers\color) and loading any of them via xicc, xcalib or any other tool handling color profiles does nothing to the color reproduction of the display. I found a profile made by a helpful person somewhere on the internet (notebookcheck? Unfortunately I don't remember) which makes this display kind of usable but it's far from being correct since it introduces a greenish inking at the lower end and a rose red one in the middle of the spectrum. Additionally the overall gamma curve doesn't fit that well. But at least it draws white as white and eliminates the overall lime style of the device.
Résumé:
Maybe I'm just an idiot, too dumb to correctly copy and apply color profiles or to use alsa/pulseaudio the correct way. If so I would be very happy about anyone who would lead me in the right direction. Perhaps someone stumbled over the same problems and has some fixes or at least ideas where to look at. Perhaps someone calibrated his 3k display with a professional colorimeter and is willing to share the results.
If someone is interested in e.g. my Xorg config, the amd64 DEB package for getting a usable clickpad, the slightly working color profile or other informations I'm able to share, please let me know.
Disclaimer:
I can understand if anyone is deterred by this rant in a way that she or he avoids to talk to such a poor goof, but perhaps someone understands my vast disappointment after spending a huge amount of money and a lot of time for a brand which is (was?) well known under (Linux-) enthusiasts for the outstanding build quality, the overwhelming compatibility and the ubergood hardware which was built into ThinkPad machines in the past. I owned, sold, recommended and installed lots of these notebooks before, my own last two machines were two t61p which I would call the peak in quality of this brand. But those times definetly seem to be over.
Thankful for every hint to make this thing more usable, best, Markus.

Here's another profile I stumbled upon. It was made for the T540p shipped with the same display. It is a little more even, so less different colours in the overall grayscale and it has a better gamma curve. But it has an overall greenish touch just like the display without any profile but considerably less.

And to prevent users from searching I upped the profile from my last post to my blog, too:
http://mein-neues-blog.de/files/LEN40B5.icm
BTW I'm actually hacking a GTK application for manipulating the ramps of a LUT profile in realtime since those profiles are not that bad but need a little tweaking to fit my own display.

How to embed mplayer in Linux with JNI

Hello All,
I was wondering if anyone here knows to get a Linux based video player to draw on the awt Canvas. I am trying to play the streaming video in ASX / WMV format on Linux. And MPlayer is one such player that can play almost anything.
For windows, there are a few options to embed the native media player and I am thinking of going with jawin as it hides most of the native implementation. But I have not much idea about how to do it in Linux. Couldn't find many examples / guides either.
If someone has an idea / links and would like to share it, it'll be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rex

I could advance a little more and got the JNI library to draw on the awt Canvas. But still can't get another native program like gedit to draw on the Canvas.
This is what I am doing to draw the rectangles (from Sun's example) -
gc = XCreateGC(dsi_x11->display, dsi_x11->drawable, 0, 0);
XSetBackground(dsi_x11->display, gc, 0);
for (i=0; i<36;i++)
XSetForeground(dsi_x11->display, gc, 10*i);
XFillRectangle(dsi_x11->display, dsi_x11->drawable, gc,
10*i, 5, 90, 90);
XSetForeground(dsi_x11->display, gc, 155);
XDrawImageString(dsi_x11->display, dsi_x11->drawable, gc,
100, 110, testString, strlen(testString));
But how do I pass the handle 'gc' to another program like gedit to draw on this surface instead of opening it's own window ? It'll be a great help if someone could share an idea on this.
Thanks,
Rex

How to create instance in linux

how to create instance in linux? I know that in order to create a instance in window, we can use oradim cmd. But what about linux?

How can I display XSLT transformer errors on a web page ?

Hi,
I have some JSP pages that access DB, create an XML based on DB data and then transform it into HTML through an XSLT stylesheet. Developing the XSL code it's easy to make mistakes and generate errors on trasformation, but what I receive on the web page is only a "Could not compile stylesheet" TransformerConfigurationException, while the real cause of the error is displayed only on tomcat logs. This is the code for transformation:
static public void applyXSLT(Document docXML, InputStream isXSL, PrintWriter pw) throws TransformerException, Exception {
        // instantiate the TransformerFactory.
        TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        // creates an error listener
        XslErrorListener xel = new XslErrorListener();
        // sets the error listener for the factory
        tFactory.setErrorListener(xel);
        // generate the transformer
        Transformer transformer = tFactory.newTransformer(new SAXSource(new InputSource(isXSL)));
        // transforms the XML Source and sends the output to the HTTP response
        transformer.transform(new DOMSource(docXML), new StreamResult(pw));
}If an exception is thrown during the execution of this code, its error message is displayed on the web page.
This is the listener class:
public class XslErrorListener implements ErrorListener {
    public XslErrorListener() {
    public void warning(TransformerException ex) {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nWarning on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
    public void error(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nError on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
        // and throws it
        throw ex;
    public void fatalError(TransformerException ex) throws TransformerException {
        // logs on error log
        System.err.println("\n\nFatal Error on XEL: " + ex.getMessage());
        // and throws it
        throw ex;
}When I have an error in the XSL stylesheet (for examples a missing closing tag), I can find on tomcat logs the real cause of the error:
[Fatal Error] :59:10: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".
Error on XEL: The element type "table" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</table>".but on my web page is reported just the TransformerConfigurationException message that is:
"Could not compile stylesheet".
How can I display the real cause of the error directly on the web page?
Thanks,
Andrea

This code is part of a bigger project that let developers edit XSL stylesheets through a file upload on the system and we can't impose the use of any tool for checking the xsl. So, I need to display the transformer error on the web page.I see. This code is part of an editorial/developmental tool for developers to create and edit XSL stylesheets.
As part of the editorial process, XSL errors during editing can be considered a normal condition. In other words, it is normal to expect that the developers will generate XSL errors as they are developing stylesheets.
In this light, handling the XSL transformation errors is a business requirement that you need to handle. Using the Java Exceptions mechanisms, e.g. try / catch are inappropriate to handle business requirements, in my opinion.
I suggest that you look at how you handle the occurence of XSL errors differently than what you currently have. You need to:
(1) capture the Transformation exception on the server;
(2) extract the message from the exception and put it into a message that can be easily understood by the user;
The current error message that you have going to the web browser is not useful.
And you should not have the Transformation exception sent to the web browser either.
What you are attempting to do with the exception is not appropriate.
Handle the Transformation exception on the Business tier and use it to create a useful message that is then sent to the Presentation tier. In other words, do not send Java exceptions to web browser.

How can I display True/False in my dropdownlist as "Yes" and "No"?

Hi All,
I want to bind a dropdownlist to a boolean value (so it's either true or false). I'm particularly interested in using two-way binding to when the user changes from "yes" to "no" the boolean value automatically changes from "true" to "false." But, I want the user to see "yes" and "no" as the options, rather than "true" and "false".
How can I display "yes" and "no" and still take advantage of binding? Or can I not use binding in this circumstance?
-Josh

Solution 1:
In order to display Yes/No for True/False, you may specify labelFunction for the dropdownList.
In MXML:
<s:DropDownList labelFunction="myLabelFunction" />
In actionscript:
private var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(["true","false"]);
            private function mylabelFunction(item:Object):String
                if(item.toString() == "true")
                    return "yes";
                else return "No";
OR
Solution2:
may be u can try making an array collection like
private var arr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([{label:"yes",value:"true"},{label:"no",value:"false"}]);
and specify labelField for the dropdownList like
<s:DropDownList labelField="label" dataProvider="{arr}" />

How can I display contacts in a relationship

I have companies in my CRM. I have a customers/contacts in the CRM I have tied as a relationship with each companies. How can I display all the records/contacts associated with a company? I have a already created a secure zone, so the company user would have logged in. Is this possible? If not, any workaround?
The only workaround I thought of is to use webapp to import the company data and create another web app containing the employees data. Then link both tables/webapp using datasource. But the way the client's data is structured could create a lot of problems going forward.
Any suggestion, help will be appreciated

The relationship feature and how companies work currently in BC is really limited. It is an association and not true relationships at the moment. You cant output a company and show all its relationships at the moment.

How can I display & split the audio & video from the same digitized clip?

I digitized a scene into iMovie that I edited on a professional system which I don't have access to anymore. The whole scene is 1 clip. Now I see a few tweaks that I want to make, so I was hoping to do them in iMovie.
I want to "pull up" the audio in one section - meaning I want to take cut about 20 frames of audio from the end of a shot, and then move all the other audio up to fill the hole. To compensate for the missing 20 frames, I'll cut video off the head of the next shot. Some call this prelapping. Some call it an L-cut. Some call it asymmetrical trimming. Either way, I can't figure out how to do it in iMovie.
My clip appears in the timeline as one track - a single track that contains the video and 2 audio tracks. How can I display the audio that's tied to the video on its own track? Then I think I could split audio & video wherever I wanted and trim things up - but I can't figure out how to do it.
Am I asking too much of this software?
BTW, I never see the option to "Split audio clip at playhead". I'm not displaying clip volume or waveforms. Choosing to display waveforms doesn't show me anything. Maybe iMovie thinks I'd only want to see waveforms of audio that isn't tied to my video-and-audio clips?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Jordon,
"Am I asking too much of this software?"
No, you're not.
You first want to select your clip(s) and choose Advanced>Extract Audio.
This will copy the audio from the video clip and place it on one of the two separate audio tracks while lowering the audio level to zero in the original video track.
You can now edit and move the audio independently of the video.
With the audio clip selected, you'll find you now have access to Edit>Split Selected Audio Clip at Playhead.

How can i display a list of all the names stored in the Mail app?

When sending an email, the program shows a list of names according to the first and subsequent letters that I type into the To: field. There are times I cannot recall someone's email user name. How can I display a complete list of all the names Mail has stored? I know that I can go to the To: field then type in the letter A, then write down all listings under A, and then repeat for each letter of the alphabet, but there should be an easier method.
I have perhaps dozens of names in Mail, but only five names in Address Book, so the latter does me no good.

How do I display a GIF image stored in byte[ ]

I have a bit of sticky problem and am now stuck. I will post a little code in the hopes someone more clever than I can give me a hand
I am using a servlet to grab some data from a user, a web service (still within the servlet) is then called that generates a GIF of the user location as
specified by the address data grabbed from the user input (GET via the url parameters). The byte data is stored in a bean as a byte [ ] and added to the request as an attribute
via request.setAttribute().
I then forward to a jsp page that looks like this:
     <html>
     <head>
     <title>Learn Fast or Perish</title>
     </head>
     <body>
     <center>
     <hr>
     </center>
     <h1>Hello World.</h1>
     <jsp:include page="/display" flush="true"/>
     </body>
     </html>.../display maps to another servlet. The doGet portion of the servlet looks like this:
            //response and request are the HTTPServletResponse/Request doGet parameters
            //ImageByteInformation is my bean holding image info in byte [] format
            ImageByteInformation imageByteInfo = (ImageByteInformation) request.getAttribute("imageByteInformation");
            ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(imageByteInfo.getByteData());
            Image image = imageIcon.getImage();
            //create a BufferedImage from the image
            BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImageCreator().createBufferedImage(image);
            System.out.println("BufferedImage length: " + bufferedImage.getHeight() + "BufferedImage width: " + bufferedImage.getWidth());//400 by 600
            System.out.println("BufferedImage string: " + bufferedImage.toString());
            //prints out: BufferedImage@93afae: type = 2 DirectColorModel: rmask=ff0000 gmask=ff00 bmask=ff amask=ff000000 IntegerInterleavedRaster: width=600 yada yada
            response.setContentType("/image/gif");
            OutputStream stream = response.getOutputStream();
            ImageIO.write(bufferedImage, "gif", stream);
            stream.close();... i found the code above on line and this is supposed to display a GIF to a web page.
For a while the code was actually prompting if I wanted to download a file of type "/image/gif"?!?
I did download and save it as temp.gif and the image was there when I opened it on my desktop.
Something is in the byte array but I cannot get it to display on the page. So what am I doing wrong.
So my question is this...
How can I display the gif info stored as a byte [] (byte array) in a bean with a jsp page. I thought including a servlet that
writes the bytes to the reponse would but no such luck. Is what I am trying possible? This newbie would greatly appreciate
any advice :)

First of all the following line is a little off:
response.setContentType("/image/gif");should be
response.setContentType("image/gif");What you should do is rather than do an include, try something like the following:
<img src="/display" />If you're telling me that /display is mapped to the servlet that has the doGet you reference, this would be the proper way to do it.
HTH.
