I have a PowerPC G5 1.6 GHz 768 MB RAM, no Intel processor, and I run OSX 10.5.8. I have installed a 932 Gig slave drive and partitioned it in 4 blocks.
Can I find a Boot Camp version for my computer and install Windows and Linux on my slave drive? How? Please tell me what downloads I need and instruct me. [....and the URLs please]
Can I install OS Maverick on one of thee HD partitions?
thx much-

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!

I downloaded and installed the Q Emulator BUT I CANNOT get it to target my slave drive and the partition I want my windows XP on; and you can see the message I get in the jpg below. Can anyone instruct me how to do it? THX MUCH-

Why do you want to run Windows? What applications are you missing? You can ususally find a free application if you look.
The benefit of running Windows is to learn how bad it is.
Unix command ln -- The Unix make link command. I have a copy of virtual PC. It insists on using a folder in my documents folder for saving all of the virtual machine information. This folder is rather large. I used the terminal command ln to move the folder to my external hard drive. Virtual PC had no problem with this move. I do not think that Mac applications notice the ln redirects.
You can use the Unix command ln to redirect a reference to folder on your small partition to a folder on your larger partition. You need to be careful when you pick the folder. You best avoid any system folder, those folders needed at startup. You could pick some user data folder.   Home folders, that is folders in /Users, are a good choice. Please try this when you have a full backup.

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..
Thanks for helping

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

I wrote an application which uses RMI. The server is successfully tested on Windows and Linux. However it doesn't work 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.

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

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.

How is the performance of Mac Pro if i use it as host for windows and linux virtual machines.
I am planning to buy a high performance PC to run my Windows and Linux servers as vitrual machines for my testing purposes.
Initially i planned to build my own computer with recommended configurations but considering space constaints and cooling factors i think Mac Pro can be a choice. But need some inputs if Mac pro (Intel Xeon E5, 12 GB RAM) is good for running virtual Machines.

You could even run Windows natively and still run your VM servers.
I have seen reports and such on MacRumors and elsewhere - run Windows natively as well as VMs (can also do testing and run Mavericks in a VM under Mavericks)
The fast internal PCIe-SSD, plus 6 or 8 cores, and 32-64GB RAM. Of course for $5,000 for 8-core, some Thunderbolt storage and 32GB/64GB RAM you can buy some serious hardware.

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.

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.

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.

I purchased snow leopard and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs

I purchased snow leopard from online macstore in Australia and got a disk with OSX 10.6.3 but my macbook with intel processor and 1 gig won't update from 10.5.8. It restarts but doesn't update after disk installs. Do I need 10.6.0 to install first?

Insert the Snow Leopard DVD, restart your MacBook while holding down the C key, this should start your Mac from the optical drive instead of your hard drive. Choose your language and install Snow Leopard. When it's done and you've restarted on your new 10.6.3 system run software update to upgrade to 10.6.8. Done.

Sync iPod to Mac, but store files on Windows and Linux

I am an advanced user on both mac and widows system. I had my old 3rd Gen ipod where it was in FAT32 format and would sync to a Win machine. Then I could use the ipod to transfer data (ala external harddrive) on windows and mac platforms.
So now I have a 5th Gen Ipod and Itunes on my G5. Today I wanted to use the ipod to move some files between my work windows machine and home to my mac. To make a long story short the new ipod is formatted to be hfs+ journeled system, which windows can't read.
So I figure the easy solution is to reformat the ipod to be win-dos format, let it put the ipod software on, dump the library back and I should have a 5th gen with FAT32 that can be read by windows (or linux). So here's the rub
I used Disk Utility in OSX to partition the ipod several times. the first time I just specified ms-dos format (or whatever the disk utility calls a windows partition). All went well until the updater could not put the software on the new ipod claiming that it had to be in mac format. Then I tried to split the drive and parition into a large mac/hfs partition (for all the itunes files) and a small windows partition for the ipod (for data file storage). The problem is that the updater kept selecting the fat32 partition for installation (because I had to choose master boot record in order to be able to put the windows parition on there. at least this is what I suspect was happening). Two partitions woudl mount on the desktop, but only one would control the ipod.
So why not just let the windows parition be the one partition that had the ipod control software on it, you say? Because then I'm back to the problem that the iPod Updater won't deal with updating the windows partition.
Any ideas on a work around?

My concern is that when I have to update the iPod (in the future), will the windows based updater software be required?
Only if you want to continue to use it on Windows machines.
If you want to use the Mac Upddater, it will not be read by Windows.
If I do what you are suggesting, will the ipod return to being a resident mac based sycing device even though the first update/install of the ipod software was on a windows machine?
No. You can use it on both/either Mac and WIndows.
This is why I thougth some sort of partition with space set aside for the windows partition would be the workaround?
The iPod Updater formats the entire disk, not a partition.
