How to install patches in DWM?

I've been trying but I can't figure out how to install patches in DWM. For instance I'm trying to install the Fancybar pathc from the DWM. I tried to do this by going to my dwm directory, run patch -p1 < ~/fancybar-r1496.diff, then rebuild DWM with makepkg -efi --skipinteg and finally restart DWM.. But it doesn't work
What am I doing wrong?

patroclo7 wrote:If you compile dwm, by hand, you obviously need to run plain "make clean install" and not resort to makepkg. If you want to resort to makepkg (which is in this specific case, IMOO, overkill) you can: apply the patch in the PKGBUILD itself; apply the patch by hand in $startdir/src/dwm-<version>, but then you need to use the specific option "-e", so to instruct makepkg to use the existing $startdir/src without untarring again the source tarball.
Well, the reason I'm using PKGBUILD is because that's what the Arch Wiki says. But if make's better then I'll use that instead. How exactly do I do that?

How to install patchs in linux

Hi Friends,
I am new person. How do I install oracle patchs in linux redhat 5.0 system?
Plz show me some steps in detail.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim
Sorry for the late answer.
What patches are we taking about?
Oracle patches? Yes then you have to use
0. First read the installation note given on metalink it gives your a detailled description what shall be done.
In metalink go to Patches & updates
make a simple search on your patch and read the read me file
Please control also that the file downloaded is consitent by controlling the value of the "patch digest"
for example :
File      Digests
p7369190_10203_Linux-x86-64.zip
SHA-1      295AF3B7585BB00093CF7DB25A314E750B3A76AE
MD5      7D1C9C9B36D646E557DE250458067B1B
i.e.
to list all the installed patches :
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
unzip p7369190_10203_<platform>.zip
cd 7369190
opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate
And if the patch is changing something in the datadictionary :
cd $ORACLE_HOME/cpu/CPUOct2008
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
SQL> @catcpu.sql
SQL> QUIT
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> @utlrp.sql
You can check for any invalid objects by executing following statement:
SQL> SELECT OBJECT_NAME FROM DBA_OBJECTS WHERE STATUS= 'INVALID';
Voilà !
more question please ask!

GumasYou need to apply the patch driver u3944888.drv using adpatch like any other patch.
Just make sure you apply all the patches under "Prerequisite Updates" before applying the patch.
You may also refer to these docs which are related to the patch you are applying.

How to install Patch 14503114

I am trying to install Oracle patch 14503114 using Windows Server 2008R2. I am running Oracle 11g R2. I tried to go by the readme.txt but its not working. Does anyone know how to install oracle patches using opatch?
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

The instructions for that patch are generic, so unfortunately he is looking at the right ones.
The options I can think of are: 1) set the environment variables or 2) add the opatch location to your path variable.

How to Add patches to dwm?

I cp the dwm directory to my builds directory.
I then makepkg -i and install dwm, it runs fine. I want to compile dwm with the bottom stack patch from their website.
I download the dwm-5.3-bstack.diff file into my dwm directory. I saw in another thread to add
patch -p1 < dwm-5.3-bstack.diff || return 1
into my package build. I am just unclear of where to add it.
my PKGBUILD is

Thanks for the reply. I can it to install, but I still do not get the option for bottom stack. Do I need to add it to my config somewhere? I assumed the patch would add it to the config.h intself?

How to install patch GridControl_10.2.0.4_Win32 on oracle 10g r2

Hi
How to install GridControl_10.2.0.4_Win32 on windows 2003 for Oracle 10g r2.
If any one has steps ,please send me.

Hi
You will have to install each components for your grid controller
- Management Server (OMS): Middle tier server that handles communication with the intelligent agents. The OEM Console connects to the management server to monitor and configure the Oracle enterprise.
- Database repository
- Agent repository
- Agents on all the servers
Please dedicated specific homes for each components.
Enterprise Manager is installed on multiple Oracle homes within the Oracle base directory. This means that a typical Enterprise Manager Grid Control installation creates three Oracle homes in different Oracle home directories. For example, oms10g, db10g, and agent10g.
Please read also that : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b40103/pre-installation_requirements.htm#BABFEAIA

How to install patches with .bin extension

I have downloaded Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin patches, but how can
i install this ?? It is not like .tar.gz.....Help

Hi,
Did you download the patches or the JDK kit?
Based on the file you said you downloaded it looks like you downloaded the whole JDK 1.2.2_07 kit. If you wish to install this all you have to do is download or move the file to where you want it to install and change the permissions on the file so you can execute it (chmod 755 Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin) then in a terminal just type:
#Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_07_sparc.bin.
This will install it for you. Make sure you update your path and any links that might be pointing to older versions of the JDK to the new JDK you just installed.
If you it was the patches you ment to download the file you download should look something like "1.2.2_07_patches_sparc_OSVERISON.tar"
to see what patches you have installed in a terminal type:
#showrev -p
To install the patches you need to extract the patch archives you wish to install. And then issue the following command:
#patchadd -M <your_patch_directory> <patch-id>
Please also consult the README files that come along with the patches as they might be of use to you also.
Hope This Helps

Andrew

How to install patch 118855-36?

I installed Solaris 10 x86 fresh on a intel P4 system last week.
I used to GUI autopatcher of the java console and yesterday it mentioned that i had to inspect patch 118855-36 and that it could not be installed automaticly.
I started the console and after reading the readme i tried:
patchadd /var/spool/patch/118855-36
It errored that the rights for a certain file were wrong. I CHMODded it to execute but that didn't seem to do the trick.
I think i did something wrong since i am completely new to Solaris and i am used to the Redmond patching system.
Anyway, since it seems that this patch is a core-update i will get knowledge of the system a bit faster than i thought...

Posting the actual error you got would be helpful, but one thing that's not always clear is that a good piece of patching (like a good piece of pkgadd's which share a lot of code with patching) takes place as the "nobody" user (for a modicum of security).
Because of this, you'll need to make sure essentially everyone has access to the patch files. Generally Sun recommends you put the patches in /tmp for this reason (because they can presume that the permissions on /tmp are the default 1777). Even that isn't enough if you unpack the patch with a umask of 022 (a good security measure too...). You probably need to do a "chmod -R 755 /var/spool/patch" to be sure.

How to install patch 4923768

I recently downloaded the patch 4923768 for Oracle client 10g. In the installation instructions, it mentions to apply the patch using OPatch. I already see the OPath folder in the C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1 directory, but I am not sure how to enter the command. Do I have to do it using DOS window or any other tool. I don't have an Oracle admin in our company, so I am trying to figure out how to apply this patch on client workstations.
Is there any other way (than OPath) to apply patches to Oracle client?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Do I have to do it using DOS window or any other toolYes, you should use DOS window.
Is there any other way (than OPath) to apply patches to Oracle client?
OPatch is the tool to use so as to apply intermediates Patches.
You should read carrefully the Readme and, check the OPacth release before running it.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
