Is unbreakable kernel still the default during an upgrade to 5.6?

Two questions:
1) When using the unbreakable kernel, do applications need to be re-certified?
2) When you upgrade from previous OEL version (5.5, 5) to 5.6, is the unbreakable kernel enabled by default ?
Thanks

Avi,
This is fully explained in the 5.6 Release Notes (http://oss.oracle.com/el5/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-en.html) and both the UEK and the RH-compatible kernel are installed, but the system boots into UEK by default. Maybe I was misremembering an internal email about this; thanks for the correction.
Kernel  and Driver Updates
Oracle Linux 5.6 ships with following three sets of kernel packages
    * Unbreakable Enterprise kernel [kernel-uek-2.6.32-100.26.2.el5
          o Only available on  x86_64 (64bit) platform
          o This kernel will be installed by default
    * Red Hat compatible Kernel [kernel-2.6.18-238.el5].
          o This kernel is installed by default.
    * Red Hat compatible Kernel with  bug fixes added by Oracle [kernel-2.6.18-238.0.0.0.1.el5]
          o This kernel, available on x86 and x86-64 , can only be  installed manually (see below for details)
Note:  Both Unbreakable Enterprise kernel and Red Hat compatible kernel are installed on 64 bit (x86_64) platform and the system boots with Unbreakable Enterprise kernel by default. If needed /etc/grub.conf can be modifed to make the system boot with  Red Hat compatible kernel by default.

  • Can you make the Keypad the default during phone calls?...

    Hi,
    I'm finding it irritating when I make a call and the recording says "Press 1 for English" and unlike regular phones, I have to hit the keypad icon first just to get my numbers back so I can press '1'.
    All the options are nice, but is there any way to make the Keypad the Default screen to appear while I'm making a phone call?
    Also, I need to comment that I wish the speaker phone were much louder; it's almost useless the way it is. Is there any trick to getting that louder besides the volume control on the outside of the iPhone?
    Many Thanks, Frank B.

  • What is the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?

    As I have read, MS Office 2013 is able to read and write the ISO/IEC 29500 strict (standardized Office Open XML) file format. MS Office 2010 was only able to read the strict format and MS Office 2007 could neither read nor write the strict format. The
    .docx, .xlsx and .pptx saved by Office 2007 and 2010 were only complying to the OOXML transitional, as far as I understood.
    My main question is what the default file format for saving in MS Office 2013 actually is? Is it still the transitional OOXML or the ISO/IEC 29500 strict format?
    In case, MS Office still saves in the transitional standard by default, is it possible to set the strict standard in the settings? Is this recommended (I assume that OOXML strict is the future) to do this?
    Thanks.

    Yes, the Transitional is still the default file format for saving in Office 2013, and we can modify this setting in Word Options, Save:
    As Alex Brown covers in his
    blog post, "Transitional is intended to preserve the fidelity of existing binary documents being migrated to ISO/IEC 29500, and includes many legacy features for compatibility with existing documents. Strict is a subset of Transitional that does not
    include legacy features – this makes it theoretically easier for a new implementer to support (since it has a smaller technical footprint, so to speak), but also makes it less able to preserve the fidelity of existing documents."

  • How to set the default boot kernel in /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d

    and without messing with /boot/grub/grub.cfg  ?
    I need this so that new kernels show up but do not change the default boot kernel
    Is there a way to do it by file name instead of position within the menuentry / submenu list?
    I found some ubuntu and fedora sugestions but all by position, none by name
    AND how to set the kdump kernel as the default?
    Arch is putting this kernel under a submenu - would this pose problems for setting it as the default?

    In /etc/default/grub you can use the name of your entry you wish to use as default
    GRUB_DEFAULT='Arch Linux, with Linux core repo kernel'
    You can tell grub to stop using submenus by doing:
    GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
    Or you can just make a purely custom menuentry in /etc/grub.d/40_custom if you'd like:
    menuentry "Other Linux" {
    linux <KERNEL IMAGE HERE>
    initrd <INITRD IMAGE HERE>

  • HT201342 In Apple Mail, how do I change the default outgoing address for mailboxes that I've set up?

    In Apple Mail (Yosemite on a MacBook Pro), the default address for outgoing messages from mailboxes that I've set up that are *not* tied to separate email accounts has suddenly become my iCloud address (which I almost never use). I've got my default set to use whatever address is the default for the mailbox I'm in. This works fine for mailboxes associated with different mail accounts, and until recently it worked fine for mailboxes that I had set up for convenience, using my default email address (which is an Earthlink address I've had for many years). Somewhere within the last year, perhaps with an upgrade to the OS, I've found that outgoing mail from one of those mailboxes (but not from the general Inbox) defaults to my iCloud address. I have to manually choose a different address each time (which is hard to remember to do). This is new behavior, and very unwelcome. But I can see no way to change the default email address associated with each mailbox.
    How do I undo this unwanted connection?

    Hi everyone
    Sorry however I'm experiencing a similiar issue, in that I have 10 differing email accounts.
    However in the default email accounts, for some bizarre reason, only 4 show, being icloud, one of my older yahoo email accounts, my work email and then "From My PC".
    I run two other businesses of which I have a proper Google Mail Business Accountsfor each, but non of my google email address show in the default list.
    Is there any reason why?
    I actually want one of those to show.
    I have put my google mail to the top of the inbox, however it still doesn't show?
    I've also put the default calendar as my google business account but still the default account doesn't display.
    Any ideas?

  • How to make scim-bridge the default inputmethod for QT application?

    I am using gnome with SCIM. I installed scim-bridge for QT application, but xim is the default IM instead of scim-bridge.
    I put these into ~/.bashrc or ~/.xprofile or ~/.initrc but it didn't work. xim is still the default IM for QT. You must right click the input area, and choose scim-bridge for input menthod
    XMODIFIERS="@im=SCIM"
    QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"
    or
    XMODIFIERS="@im=scim-bridge"
    QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"
    They both won't work.
    The reason why I must use scim-bridge instead of xim mode of SCIM, is because in xim mode the input panel can't follow the cursor.
    thx

  • Changing the default logical system names for adaptive RFC models

    Hello,
    When I create an Adaptive RFC model the dialog that asks me to specify the model name, package, source folder, etc. has default values in the "Default logical system name for model instances" and "... RFC metadata".
    I know I can type in another name there but I'd like to change the default name to something that fits our naming conventions. Can I change that? If so, can someone tell me where?
    Thanks in advance!
    David.

    Suresh,
    Thank you for your response. However, that is not what I was looking for. Sorry if my post was not clear.
    I knew that I could change it AFTER the import. I also know that I can type in something else besides the default DURING the import.
    What I am asking is if there is a way to change some configuration setting so that the 'default' that comes up in the drop down DURING the import is something different than what comes 'out-of-the-box' with NWDS.
    Hope that clears up what I'm looking for.
    David.

    You can designate an application to be used as an external editor in the External Editing preferences dialog box. After you choose an application, you can always use Preferences to change to a different application.
    In the External Editing preferences, click Choose in the Additional External Editor area.
    Navigate to and select the application to use, and then click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).
    You can also select an external editor by choosing Photo > Edit In Other Application from the Library or Develop module. You’ll be prompted to navigate to and select the application to use. After you choose an external editor, the name of the application appears as Edit In [Name of Application] in the Photo menu.

  • Mac mini won't boot after accidental loss of power during firmware upgrade

    i accidentally hit the power switch on the wall during an upgrade (might even have been a firmware upgrade, I didn't really look at what was going on).  Anyway, now it hangs on the silver Apple logo screen with a spinny wheel on reboot.  It's only 3 months old, it's the $599 model.
    What to do?  I see that you can download firmware restoration disks but they appear to be limited to earlier versions of the Mac mini.

    I took it to the Mac store today and they fixed it for free by booting from an external drive and finishing the half-baked system update.  Now that I know how to do that, I can fix it myself next time.
    Thanks to Alan at the Salem, NH store!!

  • When trying to start Firefox I keep getting message saying "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I've started a new Profile but Profile Manager keeps telling me the Default one is still in use.

    When trying to start Firefox again I got a message saying "Close Firefox. A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." This question is addressed in Mozillazine but nothing I've tried from there seems to work. I started a new Profile from the Profile Manager which at least gets me up and functioning, but weirdly enough the Manager also tells me the old (Default) profile is still running, though I can't find a way to close it. I also can't find the Default profile in my profile manager. can anyone help?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice
    == i thought I'd exited Firefox and was going in again.

    Had this problem on my MacBook after I deleted my profile (the profile folder is named something like asd8f7as.default). The solution for me was to open profiles.ini and delete the information about the profile I had deleted. It should look something like this:
    [Profile0]
    Name=default
    IsRelative=1
    Path=Profiles/2xr4hi1g.default
    Delete, save, problem solved.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?
