Linux distribution

Hello,
i start to work with Flex Data Service and i also have to
install a server under linux. I wonder if there is a linux
distribution for which we know that FDS works well.
Thanks!

Fedora 20 is newly released and is having troubles while being installed in normal process
so go ahead install it in basic graphics mode which u can find in troubleshooting.
after the installation download and install amd catalyst driver from the official amd site it's a run file so just chmod 777 it and ./execute it in super user mode
you might find the driver installed with errors without restarting the system simply follow the steps
so follow these steps
open up a terminal in super user mode and
$ cd /lib/modules/fglrx
$ vi /build_mod/kcl_acpi.c
              press - esc button and " :set number "
              go to line 999 edit the data type in the line
         from     ((acpi_table_handler)handler)(hdr);      to   ((acpi_tbl_table_handler)handler)(hdr);
         now execute the following commands to remove file by driver execution earlier
$ rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
$ rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-fglrx.conf
the next two are optional if in case u execute them please make sure it is lib64 or lib86 basing on which bit os u are using in the /usr folder
$ rm /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/amdxmm.so
$ rm /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so
and now follow these instructions
$ cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
$ ./make.sh
$ cd..
$ ./make_install_sh
this is it now reboot your system and search for amd catalyst control center and adjust setting so as to maximize your battery...
same steps even with fedora 19 which is what i am on right now
pass on the info around as i got this information after putting together many research points i found out to tackle this problem in goolgle search

Attention! About problems with Oracle 8.1.6 on newer Linux distributions!!

Hello all, I've just got some feedback from a helful person at http://www.crunge.com/ about the problems concerning RedHat Linux 7.0 and Oracle 8.1.6, this MAY apply to other newer linux distributions.
I've tried, without luck, to install Oracle on RedHat 7.0 and Slackware 7 (the newest one), and it would not install properly, kept stopping right about when the database initialization started at 80% finished install procedure. Sp i wrote them a mail, not expecting an answer really, but I did got an answer, and below is what the person said;
Thanks for the feedback.
Oracle 8.1.6 does not work under Red Hat Linux 7. Yes, that's the problem
that I mentioned in the doc--you get to 80% and the DBCA crashes and the
Oracle executables die.
I've heard, but I haven't tried it myself, that if you install the latest
glibc errata (2.1.94) then the DBCA completes but the Oracle executables
still die. The DBCA problem was apparently a Java issue that is fixed in
the errata. But you're still out of luck since the exes won't work.
It might appear that this is a problem with Red Hat Linux 7. But it appears
that it is a problem with some assumptions that Oracle made, assumptions
that worked with glibc 2.1.3 (the C library included with RHL 6.2) but which
prove false with later glibc versions. As other Linux distributions adopt
the new glibc Oracle will fail to work on them as well.
The best advice I can give at this point is to install and run Oracle on
Red Hat Linux 6.2. Hopefully Oracle will address the glibc issues with the
8.1.7 release.
Chris
p.s. Do not construe this
as an official Red Hat response; I merely forwarded your e-mail from my
home account. This response and the web pages I put up are mine.
So i guess one sollution to the problem is to try a bit older version of the linux you are having problems with (i tried it on RH 6.1 and it worked like a dream).
Another solution can be to wait it out to check and see if Oracle put a fix out here on technet...?
Hope this helps people bogged down in fustration.

The READEME.Oracle8i has the work around and the two tar balls are the necessary files. I followed the directions to the letter and they worked like a dream. Any questions feel free to drop me a line.

OK, so i followed your instructions to the letter (several times), sure I get past the 80% bug but now I have new erros coming up , -"Error in invoking target install of makefile /usr/oracle/sqlplus/lib/ins_sqlplus.mk". I get a whole series of these errors for various mk files. These errors apear during the link phase of the install, prior to the glibc workaround I was not getting this. I am a newbie to Linux and trying to give it a serious go but so far I have had little luck
Any help appreciated.

Linux distributions supported on Oracle 8i and 9i

Hello,
Can you please provide me with the web page which compiles certification information on Linux distributions for 8i and 9i, I cannot seem to find a page which does such a compilation.
Also, this is to the responder - do you work for Oracle?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah I saw that but...
Which version of Oracle can I install?
I have RH 9.0 basic version ($30.00 from best buy).
I am interested in learning Oracle with Linux for my own personal use at home.
ie
I used to have Oracle Personal 8i on my Windows 98 SE machine. Now I see Oracle Server for RH AS 9.0 (or something) and no Oracle 9i or 8i for RH 9.0 most basic edition.
Sorry... Linux begginner and I forgot my version of RH 9.0.
I am a C++ developer on Windows and use the OCI 7 and 8 wih MSVC 6.0 (at work). I would like to use same OCI wrapper with C at home on Linux.
Thanks

How to confirm Linux distribution is 32 bit or 64 bit ?

I installed vm ware work station 6.5 on my laptop. Afterr that i install redhat 5.5 on this vm workstation.
Now i am not sure that this Linux distribution is 32 bit or 64 bit.
PLease tell me how i can confirm that .
PLease reply

Herb is right, but let me elaborate, the command returns quite a lot of information.
Here is a typical 32-bit system:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.18-238.5.1.0.1.el5 #1 SMP Tue Mar 1 20:34:56 EST 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/LinuxHere is a typical 64-bit system:
$ uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Feb 7 07:06:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/LinuxIt is also possible to run a 32-bit kernel on a 64-bit machine, but I don't have one of those handy.

Which Linux distribution can I use on Satellite A30

Hi,
i would like to run a Linux distribution on my Satellite A30.
Which one would be the best? Any recommendations?
Thanks!

(K)ubuntu is a very good (free) distribution. Your hardware will be well recognized.
You can try it with the live CD ("desktop" version) and install it if you're satisfied.
Note that a live CD does not provides full power of any distribution : Jayjay knows that too...

Javascript Adobe Reader problem in some linux distributions

Adobe Reader doesn't execute initial javascript code of 3D scene in pdf document. With friends we've tested several linux distributions, namely CentOS, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Mandriva, OpenSUSE. Also several Adobe Reader versions like 9.4.6 or 9.1. No luck. For some reason though, it works fine in Fedora (with exactly the same Adobe Reader). Here is an example pdf for test: http://www.2shared.com/document/LIbyWm_ … _dice.html . Just open the mysterious_dice.pdf and you should see a rotating dice. If you dont, javascript wasn't executed properly (it should be easy to check in Windows 7/XP or Fedora).
We thought that something is wrong in Reader settings (like disabled javascript), but javascript was always allowed. Then that maybe it is linux Adobe Reader bug, but again, why does it work in Fedora? So maybe some package(s) or something.
Another example is the Asymptote application, which uses javascript at the beginning for some scene settings (lights, camera position, etc) and especially with orthographic projection this problem shows up. More about this here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/asympto … ic/4021157.
Any idea what might be wrong with this? I will just add that javascript later on works, only the initial code is ignored. Thanks for any suggestion.

Interesting, just to be sure, was your dice spinning around? If it was, then it really works. My friend with Arch i686 just tried it with Adobe Reader 9.4.2, same settings and the dice was static. He provided also screenshot to show how it looks on his system together with some info:

Linux distribution for Java?

Does anyone know where I can find a Linux distribution that is packaged solely to run Java? I.e., with all the bells and whistles removed such as text editors, web browsers, etc. but without missing libraries and dependent files. Something that doesn't need to be configured too much after installation.

You mean a "Java-only" set of a Linux-OS based system? Well, if you know Linux really well, you can try your hand a minimal Debian or Slackware install, but you'll still get more than you think you want. Or you can try one of the more "commercial" variants and keep trying to pare it down to the size you think you want. But I'll be you a nickle (US 5 cents) that you'll crash the computer because you eliminated something that is needed.
If you don't know Linux really, really well - you are Out Of Luck. I guarantee you'd remove something that'll cause a crash. OS's are complex things and not for the faint of heart. (I gave up kernel hacking around 1.2)

Best Linux Distribution for WebLogic 8.1

Which Linux distribution is best for running Weblogic 8.1 on. We are thinking about SuSe?

In terms of supported configurations, you're basically down to Red Hat Enterprise or SUSE Enterprise. If you want to run JRockit, both of those platforms are also officially supported. I don't have a direct comparison to share about running WLS on both OS's, but I'd probably go with SUSE as well. Of course, it shouldn't be too much trouble to set up one of each for evaluation running in your environment with your apps...

Please help me identify this Linux distribution

Hi!
I recently stumbled upon a netbook Linux distribution which where booting very fast but I somehow can't find it again. They had a link to a youtube video on the distros frontpage showing it boot in only 7 seconds (I think). It had a typical netbook interface with taps on the left for stuff like media, internet, etc. Immediately after boot it showed a internet connection tool making it easy to connect to a wireless network. I think the deafult color scheme was something with blue/black.
I've looked trough all the top 100 distros on distrowatch and I've been searching around the net but i can't find this distro. If someone know what distro it is I'd be very happy to hear it

Not Jolicloud either. It was looking a bit more "homemade" than Jolicloud and Xandros.
It isn't any of these either: Ubuntu Netbook Remix, EasyPeasy and MeeGo.
EDIT: I finally found the video I was talking about on YouTube. The distro is xPUD

Linux Distribution not met

hi,
we are installing SAP ECC 6.0 on linux/maxdb platform in Intel EM64 HW. We encountered "Condition not met" message: Supported Linux distribution on AMD64 and Intel EM64 are SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 for AMD64 and Intel EM64 (SLES9) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4). Current distribution: Unknown distribution: etc/redhat-release:Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4).
Am i missing something here? is RHEL4 and RHEL ES release 4 is different? or perhaps the update is wrong?? Pls advice on how to resolve this.
Regards,
JDR

Dear JDR,
I checked the source code of PREREQUISITE_CHECK_DATA.XML and found out, that it only checks for
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4"
but not for your case, which is
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)"
which is already certified, according to SAP note <a href="https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=171356">171356</a>.
Furthermore, SAP Note <a href="https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=722273">722273</a> uses AS and ES as synonyms.
If you feel really unconfortable ignoring this particular prerequisite checker you may have to open a OSS call and ask for assistance. This might take at least one week until there will be a fix available. You can of course ignore this particular error message, because RHEL4 is certified and the error you get is only a bug.

Which FireWall application is popular in today's Linux distributions?

Which FireWall application is popular in today's Linux distributions?

Just little addon to Hans's post (which is absolute correct).
Original name of Iptables is Netfilter. It is powerful stateless and statfull packet filter which is included in the kernel. So, if you are using kernel 2.4 and higher netfilter/iptables are part of your Linux OS. More information you can find on project page: http://www.netfilter.org/ and in "man"ual pages as well.

Supported Linux Distributions

I am wandering if there is a recommended/preferred Linux distribution for my 450 G1.

I have asked the question: What are you doing that Windows itself can't provide for you? Answer: In short. I have found Linux to give me more freedom of flexibility and security. It has also opened a door to technical learning that was not there before.
As for the drivers. That was the primary basis of the posted question. It looks like the distro would be Suse according to the drivers from HP. However I prefer to use Ubuntu and wanted to see if it would be supported. I believe I may be able to use the driver no matter what distribution I go with. I just wanted to see if I could get manufacture confirmation.
Unforunately for your flexibility and security is limited to not being supported by major software or hardware support and will be limited since they will support O/S that can provide them a source of income for R&D for both Windows and Apple. Until Linux become one O/S that can go up against Windows or Apple it will be always be last place. For Servers Unix has more Control and Command overall and that is where it holds sway and has Hardware and Software support for. For Linux having to many distro will insure it never is a Consumer Friendly O/S that consumer can rally behind one O/S that can complete with Windows or Apple market shares. Most everyday Computer users want to turn on and start using their computer and turn off when done not like the savvy computer users they know the ins and out but they are far in the minority compared to the major of computer users. So that is the real story why Linux never fully took off or could compete on the scale of Windows or Apple.

[SOLVED]can i install another linux distribution and keep arch?

i have seperate boot,root,home partitions
is it possible to install another distribution and to use the boot and home directory i allready have?
and do i have to create another swap partition?

Anikom15 wrote:You can share swap, /boot, and /home. You could even get away with sharing other things like /etc but that's a little risky (and pointless). All Linux distributions have the same filesystem layout; you just have to make sure there are no file conflicts, and distributions have their system files layed out differently. You can use different kernels with one distribution with no separate filesystems as well, if all you want is a different kernel.
Sharing swap is only okay if you're not using hibernation (to swap) though.

Reliable Linux Distribution. Question to Oracle Team

I would like to know which linux distribution may I use to have Oracle products running? Which linux distribution/version is used by the Oracle team? I don't want to get the problems I'm having now always when I try to upgrade the Oracle. This not happens with other comercial OS's like Solaris and WindowsNT.

Use Red Hat 6.2.
I've been using RH 6.2 for a while now, and never had any problem related to oracle.

An Idea for a linux distribution

Basically, I had my grandma in mind when I came up with this idea. I thought about entitling this thread "linux distro for grandmas" but decided against it, because it might be offensive to some (I'm pretty sure that somewhere in this great big world there is a grandma who is a great linux admin). Besides, I know a number of people that aren't my grandma that this would be perfect for.
Basically, there is usually a trade off between power and ease of use amongst Linux distributions. On one end of the spectrum you have umm... ubuntu and xandros(?) and on the other you have Linux from Scratch. Anyway, my grandma would have a tough time with even the simplest distributions unless it was set up by a very patient and thoughtful admin.
So my idea is to make a distribution that offers virtually no options to confuse the user. Once the computer is booted, the user is confronted with a graphical login where they simply click (user1). From there, they are presented with a few icons with titles such as "surf the internet", "check email", etc. (maybe this is too patronizing?)
I think that by default, their should be two users, one for the primary user, and one for guests, just to prevent guests from messing things up by screwing with configurations, or looking up pornography. I think that there are programs that convert linux boxes into dummy terminals which might help in such a distribution. (maybe we can make certain config files read only)
This distribution should run on just about anything by default, and be a dream come true for any admin who wants to quickly and easily setup a computer for a friend or loved one (or fellow employees). The installation process should be as simple as clicking "yes you're sure and you understand that by installing you will erase everything on the harddrive". (ok, maybe we could include a few more options than that)
This distribution would be unsuitable for anyone who would want to install or upgrade their own software, or play 3d games etc. It should include support for playing music, surfing the internet, reading email, and all of the basics that many many people want to use their computer for.(without understanding ANYTHING about it) I'd also like to make it unnecessary for end users to know any passwords, or commands period.
No one wants grandma to get hacked, but it would be nice to remotely admin these installations (although ideally, the need for administer's intervention would be absolutely minimal). So I was thinking that in addition to the two end user login accounts, we would need a login account meant exclusively for logging in via ssh, and, of course root. the ssh specific login name and password would have to be chosen during installation, and this would be the only account that is accessible by ssh. This user would be the only member of the wheel group. Root... well root is root.
Anyway, a quick google around didn't reveal any projects that had these goals in mind. I just dreamed this up an hour ago, so it is not even well developed as a concept yet.
Is this interesting to anyone else?

It's not just Grannies that could use this. Just yesterday I had some windows using friends touting the benefits of Xandros Presto. Essentially what you are talking about is a similar concept. I like the idea too, and even better would be if a very few applications could be customised as packages that are available for download as extensions. Rather than every GNU app packaged with scarce descriptions it would be great to select a main tool for each category and document it, make it installable into the chosen GUI, even have pretty little logo graphics for each app. Really user friendly. You'd have to look seriously into the Gui layout of the main selections screen as well as each individual app so that it was uniform across the board. I've always thought it would be better for this type of thing to limit the way things can be done also. Most interfaces give numerous ways of completing the same task. It'd be much simpler if there were only one primary way (even if the others were there but hidden, like keyboard shortcuts), so there is still room for advanced users to speed things up a bit.
Being able to trim it all down to single option answers to basic operational questions would be fantastic. There would also have to be no update manager, or if there was it should be designed to ship updates once a month tops. No kernel updates, no nvidia updates. Just a perfectly working balance of good apps that can't be broken easily.
"Fantastic" would also be a great distro name
The only thing I find wrong with this way of thinking though is that it seem like everyone can create a new distro but no-one seems to work on the interface of the applications, or the total system. i.e. Making a distro you can only use what applications are available and if you choose openoffice for your office suite and there is an issue with it, you can't fix it, therefore you can't control the stability of the system. It can only all come together properly when the applications can be simplified in conjunction with the OS UI and the authors have enough control to fix both the distro, and the applications.
Cheers,
Arkay.
