Is Mac Linux?

I've tried doing a search but not really finding anything specific. Is the Mac OS based off of Linux or Unix? At the OS level it appears exactly like Linux other than the directory structures and such. Is it based off Linux or is it a completely separate OS?
Thanks,
glenn

BSD and FreeBSD are not Linux, they are Unix. NEXTSTEP was an OS based on the Mach kernel, which is a Unix kernel, and BSD Unix. OS X is derived from NEXTSTEP, and based on a Mach kernel and BSD Unix.
Linux is not Unix.

Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.

Lack of Mac & Linux Support Hurting Javafx 2.0 Early Adoption and traction.
Oracle needs to come out with a Mac & Linux Beta built, or let developers know the real story behind Mac OS and Javafx 2.0.

I too would like to at least be able to try the Mac/Linux ports, even knowing that they are behind the Windows version. But just knowing that Oracle is committed to them is enough to ease any nervous feeling that I'm choosing the wrong tech.
I have no problems with the fact that Oracle is concentrating on Windows first. It makes sense. If you have to pick one platform to focus on while you are getting the kinks out, it makes sense for it to be the most popular platform. That's Windows. But there mustn't be too long of a wait for the others. (E.g. if they were in a public beta stage when the Windows version is at final release, that would help boost confidence in the platform.)
So long as they don't make the same mistakes that were made with Swing, where there are too many assumptions that all platforms work the same - so things like Mac's screen menu bar had to be fit in after the fact by Apple using awkward hacks. (I notice that now even popular Linux distros (Ubuntu) are using the screen menu bar concept, though they have managed to fit that into the window manager in such a way that it didn't seem to cause much problems.)

How to execute Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX...

okay, I know this is very stupid, but can anybody tell me how to run Java.exe on MAC, LINUX, UNIX?
I know how to run it from windows, I have a batch file created in windows, will it work on MAC, LINUX and UNIX as well? (I'm not sure if on other OS, there is such a file type call *.bat)

See what I mean about probably wanting a beginner's book on Unix and/or shell scripting?
okay crackers, the only thing that I have to do is put
in the name of my program into "your program here".Not necessarily. There's the ClassPath, program parameters, etc. What you need to put in the "your program here" depends upon your program. What I did was allow the script to be invoked with command-line parameters and you could (depending upon your program) put "-jar myjar.jar" in the indicated spot, if your JAR file was runnable.
The rest no need to change. right?I don't know. What does your program need? Only you can answer that, not me. I just furnished an example.

4G LTE Data-stick Mac/Linux/Windows-other authentication information.

The following information has been released publicly by VZW advanced support so I feel I can share this now:
If you want to use the UML290 on the Mac/Linux/UNIX/other-platforms you can now do so if you have the engineering knowledge or a little know-how:
Quick Notes: Verizon 4G LTE uses the GSM APN authentication method through a GGSN (similar to AT&T) and 3G (1X/EVDO) traditional uses the HA CDMA method. The old CDMA authentication method has been posted years before so I won't repost that.
You WILL NOT GET SUPPORT UNTIL THE OFFICIAL VZACCESS Software comes out on the Mac.
4G LTE GSM General Device Settings-
Phone Number: PhoneNumber
Account name: [email protected]
Password: vzw
Advanced Settings-
Carrier: Generic
Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)
APN: vzwinternet
CID: 1
Click OK, then connect and enjoy.
So on the Mac connection manager (generic apple), make a profile for your UML290 hardware, should be a modem. Make a GSM connection profile with the above. Phone number is your data-stick phone number (fake phone number, used for system identification, get it from VZAccess or your account page online). Account name is "[email protected]". (Basically add @vzw4g.com to your phonenumber. Password is "vzw", same as 3g CDMA. In GSM/3G/4G carrier use generic (no special parameters). Model is GPRS (GSM/3G, same as 4G). GSM APN is "vzwinternet". CID is 1 if your drivers need it.
Enjoy 4G LTE GSM technology by VZW on your Mac! I will be running this on my Linux engineering dev machine soon. Finally I LOVE YOU VZW!
Oh and if you're just installing it without a Windows machine using it at least once, your SIM card has to be provisioned by VZW support or a store...
If you want a visual Mac guide:
http://homepage.mac.com/jrc/contrib/tzones/
Official VZW support (replace the inetgsm.vzw3g.com APN used for overseas roaming with the 4g APN used domestically as listed above):
Mac: http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=30063
Windows XP/Vista/7 (If you don't want to use VZAccess): http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=29355
Username/Password/Everything as said above applies, replace as needed.
NO VZAccess on Mac yet, check your data usage on vzw.com my account... The SMS warning messages should work since it's a standard GSM 3G/4G implementation by VZW if you can get a Mac/Linux app that watches for SMS from the data modem driver interface.
Verizon will probably add a second APN for smart-phones when they come out with LTE chips. Example: The "vzwinternet" APN gives you a public IP address as that's mean't for data-sticks. They will probably use something (I'm just guessing here) like "advdevice" for smart-phones and that will give the smart-phone a private IP address (10.x.x.x) like the current CDMA HA's do. With APN data traffic separation VZW with 4G GSM tech. can manage traffic volumes better with bandwidth limits, etc. AT&T/T-Mobile are doing the same now and it has recently been implemented on the legacy CDMA HA's also. Also firewalling, security.

Oh on the Mac, Apple's GSM (3G/4G/LTE) dialer should work automatically with the above settings. If not try telling Apple's OSX native dialer to dial "#777" for the LTE modem. So far my reports on this engineering fix is that ONLY THE UML290 WORKS WITH OSX! VL600 is using some proprietary LG chipset (aka NON-QUALCOMM which works with OSX LTE) that I can't figure out until VZW fixes it officially with LG.

CSCur27617: AnyConnect vulnerable to POODLE attack (CVE-2014-3566) Win/Mac/Linux Question

CSCur27617: AnyConnect vulnerable to POODLE attack (CVE-2014-3566) Win/Mac/Linux
I wanted to know if the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client would still be vulnerable to this if it was only connecting via SSL VPN (TLS) to an ASA that already has the workaround implemented on it (Disable SSLv3)?
Thanks,
Rob Miele

Hi Rob ,
According to the bug:
All versions of desktop AnyConnect for Mac OS X and Linux prior to 3.1.00495 are vulnerable , so Anyconnect 3.1.06.073 is safe from POODLE vulnerability
On the Anyconnect you can disable the SSL using Ikev2 instead of the SSL protocols , however as the bug mention , the client creates a paralel ssl tunnel to get updates and profile from the router.
If you're asking to disable SSLv3 on the router , unfortunately there is not code yet , the workaround is to disable the webvpn or upgrade the VPN client.
As well here is the officil advisory for the POODLE vulnerbility on Cisco Products.

Azure SDK for Java on Mac/Linux

I need to develop a part (communication with Service Bus) of a solution in Java (normally I use C# for development) on Mac/Linux. Can I just use the microsoft-windowsazure-api-0.4.6.jar file of the Azure SDK for Mac/Linux in my project, because I don't
use Maven?
Thanks.
Guy

When trying out some code using the Windows Azure SDK for Java (on a Mac) obviously just adding the jar to my project and adding it to my build path isn't just enough. I get error messages such as:

Presentation Error in J2SE 1.4 on MAC, Linux ?

Hi,
I've got a problem with my up to version 1.4 ever working simple Code :
setLayout(null); // Null-Layout
anzeige = new java.awt.Label("Reading...");
anzeige.setBounds(20, 0, 60, 12);
anzeige.setFont(new java.awt.Font("SansSerif", java.awt.Font.BOLD, 10));
anzeige.setForeground(new java.awt.Color(255, 255, 255));
anzeige.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(1, 48, 127));
this.add(anzeige); // hinzuf�gen
This placed in the initialization method of an Applet worked well, and now after the new
Release of 1.4 on MAC and Linux computers there is only seen a white box, maybe with
white text within, I don't know because I don't have a Mac but some users have reported
this kind of behavoiur. I should add that the text is updated within a Thread while the applet
is running, but also the initial text is not displayed properly.
Does anybody have got an explanation concerning this strange behaviour ?
Another Remark, I got the same result on Win32 machines before adding the line
"anzeige.setBackground...)) although there was no error before on all other versions.
Thank you very much in advance for any ideak / remark / etc.
Frank aka The_Nudge

Hello,
the problems first started after the automatic Update Process on the MAC, so ANYTHING has
been updated concerning Java ...
But Thanks anyway.

Setup mac/linux?

Ok, I recently received a new copy of Linux openSUSE 11.2 and I want to put it on my eMac. Its running Mac OS X 10.4.11, I only want it to be a SECONDARY OS. I know it is possible, I've tried booting it in Safe mode, I've tried booting it from disc ( via holding "c" as it starts up ), I've tried a boot by holding CMD, Option, Shift, Delete, it didn't work either. Please help me out, I've even tried finding an ISO for it, which I believe is near impossible, I've tried to do this for weeks now. I already lost all my data from a screwed up update, now this, MAC IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN WINDOWS, now they are competing. I'm debating on buying a PC, and just having Linux as the BASE OS. Please help me out

re-partition harddrive
While sparsely documented 10.4.11 contains terminal commands to re-partition a hard drive with out destroying the data on it. This was introduced as part of the boot camp effort.

Sync dialog window just stays blank (mac & linux) after FF upgrade from V 28 to V33

Hi,
I've been using FF 28 so far, using a local weave server for synching my bookmarks and passwords.
Now I've installed the new mozilla syncserver, and I wanted to upgrade FF to the latest V 33. Before upgrading I unlinked the synchronization as described in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-update-to-the-new-firefox-sync.
After upgrading to V 33 I would like to connect FF to the new syncserver. I go to Menu->Tools->Setup Sync and I get a nice 'Welcome to sync' screen. But after pressing 'Get Started' FF seems to load something, but ends up with an empty, blank white box in the middle of a light grey screen (printing 'mozilla' in the right upper part of the screen).
Same behavior on both mac and linux.
Can anyone suggest how to solve this? Any help is very much appreciated.
Ralph

I understand that you are using a local weave server and have updated the new custom sync server. Specific questions about setting up a custom weave server you can refer to this [https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync-1.5.html] and ask any specific questions on the sync mailing list.

EA1: Windows-only? Works on Mac, Linux

As I used to do when sqldev was Raptor, I downloaded the "windows" version of 1.5 EA1 and ran sqldeveloper.sh both on my Macintosh (OS X 10.4.11) and on my Linux box (semi ancient except for the 1.5 jdk).
On both machines SQLdev just fired right up, except for one or two innocuous (I hope) messages about "replacing connection creator" and the Mac squawked about bootstrap_register.
After that I connected to two Oracle DBs and queried them.
If you're going to do a single-platform beta, why not Linux? But it's too late anyway, the Java cross-platform thing works like a charm.
Best,
Andrew

The next EA will have the various bundles. We did Windows only as this is our biggest customer base by far. As you have seen, because of the Java IDE, you are able to work around to do the others.

How check is installed jre on client machine (Windows, Mac, Linux) ?

I have desktop appliaction that installed in client machine. On client machine OS maybe are :Windows, Mac or Linux. When first start my desktop application I want to check is exist jre on client machine. Is this a good solution?
          String javahome = System.getProperty("java.home").trim();
          if (javahome.length() == 0) {
               logger.warn("Not installed java!");
          } else {
               logger.trace("java home=" + javahome);
          }

Errr using Java to check if Java is installed?
Does not compute.
Perhaps you want to use some sort of installer program. Or [_webstart_|http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/overview.html]?

Serial Ports, is it supported on MAC & Linux ??

Hey all...
After a long process of doing an application that runs a serial port connection to a server and upload a file to it, i could'nt find the comm package that i could download for both MAC and Linux.... There is one for Windows and Solaris though... So i was wondering, is serial ports not supported by MAC and Linux. And if not, what other than the comm package can i use to have serial ports on those 2 platforms .......
Thanks

Yes, there is third party support for linux and MacOS-X. It's released under GPL and can be found here -> http://www.rxtx.org/

StageVideo API (or other way to play hd video on mac / linux) ?

Hi
Anyone have any clues if it possible to user the new StageVideo api in an desktop air app? Is it coming in future versions of air (Available in 2.5 sdk but not able to use it on desktop) ?
Having problem playing HD (1280 x 720) video on mac 2.5.1 and linux 2.5.1, bad framerates. StageVideo looks sweet.
Any other tips on how to play high def videos right now?
Best,
S

Brian,
Two parts of the question.
First, I don't know if you can use a USB stick to transfer files to the XBOX hard drive. If you can, that's cool news to me.
Second, I have used compressor to create movies that are viewable on an xbox connected to an HD projector. Try the MPEG-4 setting, found in the Apple/Formats/MPEG-4 folder. It should work for you. If not, you can try a bunch of different settings, compress the same vid like 8 or 10 different ways, and try them all on the xbox and see which one plays. That's what I did to see what works. Just compress a 1 minute movie with a bunch of different settings. But I am pretty sure that the MPEG-4 setting works.
Thanks,
Ken

E71 and Mac/Linux support

I have just found out that if you have bought a European/US E71 (as I did), and you do not have a PC (as I do, have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X and Ubuntu), then there are billions of things you cannot do, like e.g. updating your firmware.
This is outright pathetic.
Linus Torvalds, the creator of GNU/Linux, is Finnish, though Swedish speaker...
From now on I will search for a solution or for a way of wiping out Symbian, and replace it with something else.
We may like Nokia hardware, but as to software, you offer us really nothing...

generalsunzi,
any developments on updating the firmware on a nokia e71 from a mac? do you know whether you can use the nokia multimedia transfer app to do this?
As far as I can tell even the latest version of the Mac application (Nokia Multimedia Transfer) is completely useless to update the firmware.
Scandalously enough, you must still have a @!#! PC running Windows, to update.
I am trying to see whether Wine on Ubuntu and Parallels on Mac may help in running the update.
You should however note that, in accordance with the atrocious quality of Nokia software, the firmware update is destructive, i.e. it will wipe out all your E71 settings, so best try to backup them first.

Startup folder of Macs, Linux and Unix

Can anyone tell me the startup folders of Macs Linus or Unix?
Thanks.

Assuming you mean how you run stuff when the machine boots...
For Mac, (OS X) you put the proper entries into /Library/StartupItems
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mac+os+x+startup+/Library/StartupItemsOn linux, it's /etc/rc.local or stuff in /etc/rc.d or something. You should find info if you google.
