K210 Hardware details and linux compatible?

Hi,
Can someone tell me more details about the hardware because i can find only very few informations about motherboard, network, sata and sound chipset?
Does anyone tried to install a linux based OS on this computer and what's your feedback ?
Thx a lot.

hello welcome to the forums!
yes most of the modern linux distros should work out the box for the best experience i would sujjest you go for SUSE 11 ,or mandriva linux they do work flawlessly and also provide provide out of the box support for mp3 stuff
Cheers and regards,

Linux compatible chipset wireless card

Okay,
I'm sick to death of my Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card (rev 01)
I'm just curious if there is any company that is looking to cater to the linux market. I'd like my wallet to show my thanks:)
It's not that ndiswrapper is hard to use but even when done I simply can't get it to work and yes I've searched the forum and gone through 4 or 5 different setups........I'm not asking for help on this because plenty has been offered on this board.
My question is: Is there a company that is making pci and pcmcia cards that are linux compatible without having to install some compatibility layer (correct term?) like ndiswrapper? A company that is giving the source code to us so we can have true drivers for our product?
Don't misunderstand this post - I'm not complaining about linux - I just want to support the companies that would like our business.
Thanks,
McRae

arew264 wrote:One thing I have heard is that we shouldn't blame Broadcom for poor driver support because the actual frequencies their cards run on are controlled by the drivers, which means that if they released linux drivers, they could be hacked into letting you access government and police radio frequencies. That would lead to legal problems which is why their are no drivers from Broadcom for linux.
Unfortunately, that's bulldust, we have every reason to blame Broadcom for their lack of support.
The current drivers utilise the firmware files from the windows driver. And it's in those firmware files that the frequencies live. So no, Broadcom COULD have released a driver, just like the one being developed. This is also how intel, Ralink, TI and other vendors work. All of which have licenses that forbid modification, thus if someone does hack them, they're doing so illegally, and the respective manufacturers can't be held at fault. Heck, the firmware in the broadcom windows drivers, already falls under an equivalent license, so they wouldn't need to even change that.
They could even build one like Madwifi, which has a closed source file which is included at compile time that contains the frequencies. Or just not build shit software based wireless cards, and develop proper ones that work more at a hardware level like the rt2500.
That's not a valid excuse from Broadcom part, not even remotely valid.

Why difference in Solaris and Linux

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) = '\0';
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Solaris:
Address is : 134160 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 135704 String is : HelloWor
Linux:
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorld size : 4
Address is : 134518824 String is : HelloWorldAB

Hi,
The following program is giving results diferently
when I am executing using g++ compiler in Solaris
and Linux.
Why it is so.
here is the code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <malloc.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
size_t size;
char *buf;
if ( ( buf = (char *)malloc(10 *sizeof(char))) == NULL)
exit (1);
size = sizeof( buf );The size you get here is the size of buf, which is the size of a pointer, not the size of what buf points to. sizeof(*buf) would give you size of a char, the type (not the object) that buf points to.
There is no portable way to find out the number of bytes allocated on the heap if you are give only a pointer to the memory. You have to remember the size some other way..
strcpy(buf, "HelloWorld");A literal string consists of the characters in the string plus a terminating null, all of which are copied by strcpy. You allocated 10 chars for buf, but are writing 11 chars into it. At this point, the program has undefined behavior. Literally anything at all could happen, because you can't predict the effect of writing outside the bounds of allocated memory.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s size :
e : %d ", buf, buf,size);
if (( buf = (char *) realloc(buf, sizeof(20))) == NULL)The "sizeof" operator in this case is returning the size of the type of a literal 20, which is an int. If you want to allocate 20 bytes, you write 20, not sizeof(20).
exit ( 1);
*(buf+10) = 'A'; *(buf+11) = 'B'; *(buf+12) == '\0';SInce you can't count on buf having more than 4 bytes at this time, you are writing into unallocated memory, with undefined results.
printf("\n Address is : %u String is : %s\n", buf, buf);
free( buf);
exit( 0 );
Instead of asking why you get different results on different platforms, you should be asking why the program doesn't crash on all platforms. :-)
You can avoid these problems with keeping track of allocating memory by using the C++ standard library instead of trying to manage low-level details yourself as in C code.
The standard string class, for example, extends itself as needed, and ensures that heap memory is freed when the string object is deleted or goes out of scope. You don't need pointers, malloc, free, or sizeof to use C++ strings.

Dual Boot Windows 8 and Linux?

I have (UEFI System) an ASUS K55A UEFI motherboard laptop that came factory with Windows 8. I would like to install backtrack linux and Windows 8, but before I go screwing up my laptop, I want to see if this would be at all possible. I would use a virtual
machine, but I need Backtrack Linux on a physical machine for testing purposes as I am taking a course in computer forensics, and I want to test cracking my home wi-fi. My processor is an Intel Core i5 2.5 ghz with a 500 GB HDD and 8GB DDR3 RAM. Any insight
on this would be appreciated. Thank You.

Hi,

HARDWARE interfacing and software routines

Hello there,
I am interested in finding out a really basic tutorial/note which will allow me to work with the basic communication protocols like SPI , RS 232, etherner, USB, etc. I am looking for tutorial with BOTH HARDWARE interfacing and software routines.
Multiple websites will be ok for me.
I have searched wikipedia and lot of power point presentations but was not successful in landing up with a COMPLETE tutorial which explains the hardware interfacing connections and software.
If you guys can suggest an evaluation kit where i can pracice the above interfacing and software routine..... by all means do let me know.
Looking forward to your reply.

Technically you can do everything you are talking about for free provided you have the internet tool kit installed (Full Development Suite) and depending on what level of detail you plan on going into.
If you want to play with RS232 you can start with just taking the existing Labview example, "Basic Serial Write and Read.vi" under Labview Help -> Find Examples. You can find a serial cable and connect it to your Comm port. On the other end of the Comm port you can insert a small wire to short pin 2 to pin 3 (TX to RX). You will then be able to send and recieve data on the same vi. I would look at wikipedia to learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-232
If you have the internet tool kit install then you can do all kinds of stuff with just a regular internet connection. For example any place where you can Telnet you could test using the "Telnet Line Client.vi" provided by Labview. Again I would start by consulting wikipedia if you have questions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet
If you are trying to do everything down to the hardware level then this is a little more involved. Again break your post into smaller pieces and repost on the Labview forum and you will have better luck getting detailed responses.
You should not have to spend much money to play around. You can build a lot of this stuff yourself or you can purchase very cheep if you shop around. For example you can implement SPI using a parallel port but you need to know what your target SPI interface will be. Regards, SS

ASCII-EBCDIC convertion between z/Os and Linux

Hi experts, we are migrating our landscape to z/Os (DB+ASCS) and Linux (PAS). We have our GLOBALHOST on z/Os but we are experimenting some problems when we try to install our application servers because the conversion between platforms.
In the planning guide we can see that there is a way to mount NFS file systems exported from z/Os, that make this convertion in an automatic way, but the commands mentioned on the guide are for UNIX and not for Linux.
Does any of you have this kind of installtion that could help us to set this parameters ok?
Or does any of you face this problems before?
Regards
gustavo

First, yes, we have z/OS systems programmers and DBAs with specific knowledge of DB2 z/OS. One of the reasons we initially went with the Z platform when we implemented SAP was that our legacy systems ran there for many years and our company had a lot of Z knowledge and experience. zSeries was one of our "core competencies".
I also need to give you a little more information about our Z setup. We actually had 2 z9 CECs in a sysplex, one in our primary data center and another close by in our DR site and connected by fiber. This allowed us to run SAP as HA on the Z platform. For highly used systems like production ERP we actually ran our DB2 instances active/active. This is one of the few advantages of the Z platform unavailable on other platforms (except Oracle RAC, which is also expensive but can at least be implemented on commodity hardware). Another advantage is that the SAP support personnel for DB2 z/OS are extremely knowledgeable and respond to issues very quickly.
We also chose the Z platform because of the touted "near-continuous availability" which sounded very good. Let me assure you, however, that although SAP has been making great strides with things like the enhancement pack installer, at present you will never have zero downtime running SAP on any platform. Specifically you will still have planned downtime for SAP kernel updates and support packs or enhancement packs, period. The "near-continuous availability" in this context refers to zero unplanned downtime. In my experience this is not the case either. We had several instances of unplanned downtime, the most recent had to do with issues when the CECs got to 100% CPU utilization for a brief period of time and could not free some asinine small memory area that caused the entire sysplex to pause all LPARs until it was dealt with(yes, this could be dealt with using system automation but our Z folks would prefer to deal with these manually since each situation can be different). We worked with IBM on a PMR for several months, but our eventual "workaround" was much better. We stopped running our DB2 instances as active/active and never had the problem again. We chose this "workaround" because we knew we were abandoning the platform and any of the test fixes from IBM required a rolling update of z/OS in all LPARs (10 total at the time), which is a major hassle, especially when you do it several times applying several different fixes until the problem is finally solved.
We also experienced some issues with DB2 z/OS itself. In one case, some data in a table in production got corrupted (yikes!!) SAP support helped us correct the data based on our QA system and IBM delivered a PTF (or maybe it was a ++APAR) to correct the problem. We also had several instances of strange poor performance in ERP or BI that were solved with a PTF or by using some special RUNSTATS output by some IBM DB2 tool our DBAs ran when we gave them the "bad" query. Every time we updated DB2 z/OS with an RSU felt like a craps shoot. Sometimes there were no issues revealed during testing, other times major issues were uncovered. This made us very hesitant when it came to patching DB2 and also made us stay well behind currently available maintenance so we could let other organizations identify problems.
Back to the topic of downtime related to DB2 z/OS itself, we know another company which runs SAP on Z that takes several hours of downtime each week (early Sunday morning I think) to REORG some large BLOB tables(if you're not in the monthly conference call for SAP on DB2 z/OS organizations, I suggest you join in). The need for RUNSTATS and REORGs to be dealt with explicitly (typically once a day for RUNSTATs and once a week for REORGs, at least for us) is a major negative of the platform, in my opinion. It is amazing what "proper" RUNSTATS can do to a previously poor performing query(hours reduced to seconds!). Also, due to the way REORGs are handled in DB2 z/OS, you'll need a lot of extra disk space for the image copies which get created. In our experience you need enough temp disk to hold the shadow copy of the largest table being REORGd and the image copies of the largest tables that are REORGd in the same time period. I recall that the image copies can be migrated to tape or virtual tape to free the image copy space back up using a periodic job, but it was a huge amount of trial and error to properly size this temp disk space, especially when the tables requiring a REORG are not the same week-to-week. We heard that with DB2 z/OS v10 that RUNSTATS and REORGs will be dealt with automatically by DB2, but I do not know if it has even been certified for SAP yet(based on recent posts in this forum it would appear not). Even when it is, I would not recommend going to it immediately(we made this mistake when DB2 z/OS v9 was certified and suffered for months getting bugs with SAP and DB2 interoperability fixed). Also, due to the way that REORGs work on BLOB tables, there will be a period of table unavailability. The caused us some issues/headaches. There are some extra REORG parameters you can set, but these issues are still always a possibility and I think that is why the company mentioned previously just took the weekly downtime to finish the REORGs on their large BLOB tables. They are very smart folks that are very experienced with zSeries and they engaged IBM experts for assistance to try and perform the REORGs online and yet they still take the downtime to perform the BLOB REORGs offline. In contrast, these periodic database tasks do not require our Basis team to do anything with SQLServer and do not cause our end-users grief when a table is unavailable.
Our reasons for moving platforms (which, let me assure you was a major undertaking and was considered long and hard) were based on 3 things:
1. Complexity
2. Performance
3. Cost
When I speak of complexity, let me give you some data... There was a time when ~50% of all of the OSS messages the Basis team opened with SAP were in the BC-DB-DB2 category. In contrast, I think we've opened 1 or 2 OSS messages in the BC-DB-MSS category ever. Many of the OSS messages for DB2 z/OS resulted in a fix from either SAP or from IBM. We've had seveal instances of applying a PTF, ++APAR, or RSU to z/OS and/or DB2 which fixed serious "unable to perform a job function" problems with SAP. We've yet to have to apply a single update to Windows or SQLServer to fix an issue with SAP.
To summarize... Comparing our previous and current SAP platforms, the performance was slower, the cost higher, and the complexity much higher. I have no doubt (especially with the newer Z10 and zEnterprise 196) that we could certainly have built a zSeries SAP solution which performed on par with what we have now, but.... I could not even fathom a guess as to the cost. I suspect this is why you don't see any data for the standard SAP SD benchmark on zSeries.
I suspect you're already committed to the platform since deploying a Z machine, even in a lab/sandbox environment isn't as easy as going down to your local computer dealer and buying a $500 test server to install on, but... If you wanted to run SAP on DB2 I would suggest looking at DB2 LUW on either X86_64 Linux or on IBM's pSeries platform.

MacBook Air '11 - Grey Power Button with "You have to restart your computer." message. I reopened it and looked @ the details and it said panic and then a bunch of code.

Basically I was playing my game and running Skype, talking to friends and the display flickered and then a grey box with a power button and a message that said "You have to restart your computer." It booted up fine, then I looked at the details and it said something about a panic report and the one program it mentioned was Skype. I haven't downloaded anything off of Skype. I'm scared because I just got this computer as a gift and I don't know what to do and I don't want to make it worse. It's been about 15 minutes and it seems to be running fine. I haven't started up Skype again.

Read about Kernel Panics here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742
Most are the result of conflicting hardware drivers or faulty memory, but in your case it seems Skype may have been the culprit. Make sure you are using its latest version.

Hardware Acceleration for Linux with FireFox 4

'''Is this just a myth?'''
I am using Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and FireFox 4 stable with a GT 240 and the latest nvidia binary driver. I have this set up as a HTPC through HDMI cable and have audio as well through the HDMI. It works wonderfully! I can watch x.264 and my intel celeron 2.8 GHz doesn't even get out of bed thanks to hardware acceleration.
Now, that is NOT the case while on the web... It is a tall order to watch HD quality flash (although with the [http://demos.hacks.mozilla.org/openweb/HWACCEL/ mozilla hardware stress test] I get 45 FPS). It seems to be that hardware acceleration is still very much in its infancy in the linux environment with firefox 4.
After searching through many threads I have come to find some useless information.
''MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 firefox'' - does nothing
''layers.acceleration.force-enabled=true'' - does nothing
There seems to be an issue with firefox not recognising the installed graphics card. On Windows machines, the about:support page will report all the graphic card information in the Graphics section in addition to '''GPU Accelerated Windows 0/1''' or '''1/1'''. This seems to NOT be the case in linux. Why? Why doesn't firefox discover the installed graphics card?
Now, if I have missed a memo or been a total newb in this attempt to take advantage of Accelerated Hardware in FireFox 4 for linux '''PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME''' as to what I need to do. If I have done all the things needed to achieve hardware acceleration and it is just not possible, than the good 'ol folks at mozilla should be a little more transparent when they proudly proclaim that they have released a hardware accelerated browser.
If anyone can shed some light on this predicament please post. If anyone has hit the same wall as I have please post... rant... w/e...

Installing Windows Server and Linux on a hyper-v

Scott Alan Miller wrote:

That allow the sunlight into your office?! :)

Are you allowed to install Linux in a hyper-v on the same hardware as a Windows server? Also, would there be any issues to crop up? I am curious because I want to put Windows Server 2012 on one VM, Exchange on another VM, and then a Linux Server on another VM all on the same physical hardware. Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V would be hosting them all. The reason for the Linux Server is to use it for anti-virus or spam etc. and Linux is a free OS. I am curious though how it will jive with a Windows domain as well as being on the same machine as a hosted VM.

Zen Vision:M and linux (windows explore

Hey
I am wondering about the compatibility with linux. I've read some posts in this forum claiming that it's no good, which annoys me because I am really interrested in this product and I am only using linux.
But after reading some reviews on the net, some reviewers claim that they can add songs, video etc. using windows explorer, in other words that there is not necessary to install the supplied software (some call it UMS or plug-n-play). If this really works as they claim, there should be few problems getting a linux file browser to do the same job.
Eyeing a glimpse of hope, I've read most of the reviews on the net, and I'm getting a lot of contradictrary information: Two sites claim that it is plug-n-play compatible, several doesn't mension it (which implies there's no compatibility), and at least one claims that its plug-n-play incompatibility is its major con. I am confused!
Anybody have any experience with linux and the vision:m? Anybody able to confirm the plug-n-play compatibility?
And another thing, the player is described to be MTP-based. Does that mean that the player will only be browsable with win. explorer and not a linux file browser, or does this only concern the use with windows media player?

You won't be able to add media to the Vision:M with Linux.
You can create a MSC partition on the Vision, set it to Removable disk mode, and Linux will see it. You can copy data to it, etc. like a portable HDD, but you can't view any of these files on the player itself.

Apple will repair or replace at its discretions, parts found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
You will have to discuss whether your history warrants a complete replacement with the folks at the Genius Bar.
I do not speak for Apple, but it sounds to me like you have been unlucky, but not unlucky enough (or have spent so much time with your MacBook in the shop) to warrant a complete replacement.
You have not provided any details of what the faults were or what was replaced. If they replaced the motherboard, you already got a new computer -- because everything except the drive and the display is on that board.

Phone Hardware Details

I am looking for a mean of getting Phone hardware details such as CPU, Memory, Serial numbers etc. From what i have seen there is not an api set that will specifically pull back this type of information. However, I hvae seen post on othere forums that seem to hint that you can get this information by establishing a connection to phones comm port.
is this assumption correct and if it is so does anyone have any sample code or example on how to do this.

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.
