Linux application loader - will it work?

Hello.
There already is a tool named "lxrun" which emulates a Linux kernel (system calls) on Solaris. Unfortunately this tool requires a full set of shared libraries and many other files.
I noticed that most C functions (such as fopen, strcmp, ...) are the same in Linux and in Solaris, the same calling convention is used and applications nearly never do system calls directly.
Therefore I plan to write some kind of replacement for ld.so.1 that will load Solaris' .so files, Linux .so files special wrapper .so files and a Linux application into one process. This is similar to "Wine" for Windows applications.
My idea is that the Linux application will then be runtime-linked for example against Solaris' libc.so.1 instead of Linux' libc.so.6 and so run under Solaris. The wrapper .so files handle all commands not present in Solaris and all commands that are different in Solaris and Linux.
Question to the people that are really familiar with both systems:
Would such a program work???

  • After updating Firefox and Java, Firefox gets stuck loading,will not work, and I have to use End Now to exit it.

    I started to have problems after I updated Firefox and then I did a Java update, hoping this would help. Firefox will not finish loading, it gets stuck, I cannot go to websites with it, it is stuck. Then when I try to close it down, I get the message that it is not responding and I have to use" End Now". I am having to use Internet Explorer as my browser, which works fine. My computer is a six year old quite feeble PC with a 37GB hard drive with only about 5GB of available space left.

    Yes, you will lose all your data stored on the sync server if you reset the sync (recovery) key.
    If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved
    Is the password manager working properly?
    You can find the sync password and the sync key in the password manager on the computer where you originally created that sync account (email).

    Your issue is simple. Your provisioning and p12 is not for AppStore. Go to iTunes Connect and generate provisioning profile that linked to your Certificate and use Distribution type for AppStore and not for AdHoc or Development. There is 2 types of p12 also. Dev. and Dist.

  • Read_image_file command does works on Linux application server

    Hello!
    I have a form with a new_form_instance Trigger I wrote the read_image_file trigger to read a GIF file in an image item.It works fine on windows XP(development machine).I copied the GIF file to the same location where my fmx files are there in Linux application server.I copied and compilied my fmb file in linux application server.No compilation error is there.But when I run form from Linux the form hangs and my read_image_file command is at new form instance Trigger.I have checked the case sensitivity of the file and the permission etc in Linux.In windows Development machine the form runs successfully.What could be the problem.Please help.......
    Jayashree

    For me, attempting the following:
      READ_IMAGE_FILE('bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'GIF', 'IMAGE7');
    gives this error:
      FRM-47109: Cannot locate image file bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif
    Changing my command to:
      READ_IMAGE_FILE('bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'URL', 'IMAGE7');
    loads the image successfully.
    If you truly are not getting an error message (mine appears in the status bar), then perhaps the file is being found, but the image format is not recognized or otherwise incompatible. Test this by loading one of the the images that load successfully into your iconic buttons. If that image loads successfully into your image item, fix the problem GIF image. (Recreate or open & resave with a graphics program, etc.)
    If this does not appear to be the problem, the only things I can think of are for you to confirm that, in formsweb.cfg:
      1. The archive_jini entry includes your image JAR
      2. If imageBase=DocumentBase, change to imageBase=codebase
    The second change may temporarily break your iconic buttons. This can be fixed by updating the buttons' Iconic Filename properties specifying only relative paths found within the JAR. Since my image is stored in the root of my JAR, no path need be specified. Had I placed my image in a subdirectory within my JAR, named images, my call would have to be changed to the following:
      READ_IMAGE_FILE('images/bullet_ball_glass_blue.gif', 'URL', 'IMAGE7');
    I'm not sure whether any of these suggestions will help, but since I had no problems, I suspect it's simply a matter of differing configurations. The two items that I listed are the only two likely differences I could think of.

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
    However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
    '''about:config'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
    To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''Add-ons'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

    after upgrading to os josemite cs4 applications will not run. Message displayed that I need to install the legacy java SE 6 runtime. Is this necessary to fix the application loading?

    Found the answer:
    Java for OS X 2014-001 includes installation improvements, and supersedes all previous versions of Java for OS X. This package installs the same version of Java 6 included in Java for OS X 2013-005.
    installed above and it now works

  • Linux - will it work?

    Hi,
    I am member of a university team working on our diplomma now. Our subject is a desktop app that would help writers in writing books - novels mostly. One of our major goals is to make it work both on Windows and Linux. We are writing it in Java and we want something else for UI than ugly and unfriendly Swing. JavaFX 2 looks very promising (and would be great thing to learn and put in our resumes). But the question is - will it work? Is it reliable enough? Can it work on Linux despite no official release yet? End of 2012 is way too late for us, we need something working within a month. But what we need are just some UI controls - to make main interface, that is all menus, navigation, etc [similar to what Word has]. Is it possible with current OpenJFX release? If yes, is there any maven archetype to start working on the project? Or some sample app (just showing "it works!" when opened) to expand? With 2.0.2 you can distribute JavaFX with your app, so does it change anything?

    Hi,
    But the question is - will it work? Is it reliable enough? Yes, although "reliable enough" is quite a personal thing. There are still plenty of issues in the bugtracker that need fixing, but that doesn't mean they are issues that will affect you. But...
    Can it work on Linux despite no official release yet?On Linux probably not yet, since it is not finished yet and won't be for another year. Note that I wouldn't neglect the Mac. Linux, as Oracle indirectly proves through JavaFX by neglecting it, has a far smaller user base for Java desktop applications. Windows and MacOS should be your priority in my humble opinion.
    End of 2012 is way too late for us, we need something working within a month. Eh, and you think you can do that even when you have to learn JavaFX from scratch? This fact alone would make me choose Swing, even if you hate it. Stick with what you know if time is short. If the look of it is really a problem, take some time to check out available third party cross platform look & feels like Synthetica.
    http://www.jyloo.com/synthetica/screenshots/
    There are plenty more, Swing apps really do not have to be ugly.
    Or some sample app (just showing "it works!" when opened) to expand?Check out the official website I'd say.
    http://javafx.com/
    Given that the technology is quite new, there aren't any good books yet that I know of, I've been eying for one myself. The only ones I see are the early adopter books with "beginning" in the title, which are usually rushed with broken example programs and only contain information directly available on the net. Perhaps "Javafx 2.0: introduction by example" will turn out to be something, but I'll wait for user reviews.
    With 2.0.2 you can distribute JavaFX with your app, so does it change anything?Not really IMO, if I read the download page correctly:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javafx/downloads/index.html
    Quote:
    "Starting with Java SE 7 Update 2 and JavaFX 2.0.2, the JavaFX Runtime is co-installed every time the JRE is installed". It seems users already get JavaFX for free when they install the latest Java 7. No need to distribute anything.

    YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
    I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

    You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

  • Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language

    Hi All,i am currently working on a flex application that will allow the user to change the language within the application from english to Japanese and vice versa. And everything works fine.
    I am using flex 4.5
    We allow the user to save records with english or japanese texts.
    problem
    When the user manually enters Japanese text and tries to save it the record defaults back to the default name (which is in english). But if you copy the entered text and paste it and then save it.It works fine.
    Any idea , why this is happening?
    Please let me know if the question is not clear.
    Looks like there was already a bug
