Linux Installation

I have RedHat Linus Fedora Core 4. I 'm trying to install Oracle 9i. I downloaded the 3 files from the site. I did gunzip and cpio them. now they are in 3 directories DISK1, DISK2 and DISK3.
From the File Browser, when i click on the file runinstaller, it does run and neither gives me an error. what do I need to do?
Iam new to Linus world.

You have many valid points. Please do not mis-interpret my intention. I use Oracle on the free versions as well. And I respect your views - which, in many ways seem to match mine. And I find your web pages very, very good.
I am also one using the 'public beta' versions. I have a mix of SuSE (Pro 9, 10) and SLES, RHEL and Fedora on my systems. My company is standardized on SuSE 10 for the workstation, and both SLES9 and RHES3 for paid-support servers. And I enjoy looking at, and using Fedora.
My difficulty comes from people who believe that they should be using Fedora in production because that is the one they learned. It happens frequently enough to have become quite a frustration for me.
I do have a concern (about maturity) when the roadmap for the production releases of these is 6 to 9 months - Fedora http://fedora.redhat.com/About/schedule/ and OpenSuSE http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap
and when, from http://www.redhat.com/en_us/USA/fedora/ there is the statement "A proving ground for new technology that may eventually make its way into Red Hat products." (I make my public beta conclusion from that 'proving ground' statement.)
The cycle for the 'enterprise' versions (and their clones) is targetted at 18 months - 2 to 3 times that of the free versions. Is it not possible the lack of Google hits is related to more stability - because much of the information and many of the problems have been identified in the 'proving ground'?
I just believe it up to the experts, like yourself and perhaps (questioning expert status) me, to ensure that people understand that there is a life cycle to these faster-cycling versions. Accepting those faster-cycle versions means taking some responsibility to keep up as well. For example - once Fedora 5 is out (in a week), it is time to move forward. If, after they understand the situation and the implications for themselves, the chose to go Fedora or OpenSuSE - great. I will , and do, support them (at least for reasonably current versions).

Linux installation problem on D20

Hi, guys,
I am trying to install Redhat Linux x86_64 5.3 on D20 with a Marvell 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller. As the Linux installer cannot recognize the SAS controller, I download a driver of Marvell mv64xx for Redhat x86_64 5.2 from Lenovo driver matrix website. Unfortunately, no matter how I follow the instruction to load the driver, the so-called mv64xx doesn't drive the Marvel 88SE63xx/64xx SAS controller in D20, so that the Redhat 5.3 Linux installer cannot find any hard drive. This is ridiculous and ironic because I got 5 SAS 15rpm hard drives in D20. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem and get Redhat Linux 5.3 installed on D20 with SAS drives?
Solved!

hello, good news everyone
today i tested the upcoming kernel 2.6.31-1 with ubuntu server x64 (9.10 / karmic)

the kernel included the mvsas module and its dependant, and ran out of the box doing anything. and yes, it's a software raid, the bios offers raid 5 and 10, but they are greyed out. okay, my graphic is now broken with 2.6.31-1, but hey, the 5 port's are working i almost forgot where i have put the 500gb disk. hdparm -tT showed 7.8gb/s buffered and 77mb/s normal read, which is normal for the drive.
because of the nature of a module, i believe you have to compile a kernel with support of mvsas on your own to boot linux from it, or you use the ich10 - only for optical drives - sata port, which works fine with the intel x25-m ssd.

Linux installer missing from Solution Accelerator 9.5 Download

The only solution accelerator download that I find at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=solution_accelerators is Solution_Accelerator_9_5_WWEFDJ_Win.zip.
The installation document (install_sa.pdf)) says to run the Linux installer from "/Disk1/InstData/Linux/NoVM" however when I unpacked the .zip download file I only see Windows installers.
I've installed ES 2.5 from the provided virtual appliance which is a SUSE Linux system so I require the Linux installer. Any ideas where I can find the Linux installer?

Yes, same thing happens to me, I've downloaded lc_es2_connector_for_sharepoint_9.0.0.2_v1_win_jboss.zip since I've been using the Suse Linux Appliance installed from Adobe as trial (LiveCycleES2SP2.x86_64-0.0.4).
and now I'm stuck since the 86 MB zipped file doesn't have anything to do with the Linux Virtual Appliance (eg. no linux installation files ?).

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer?

How do you exit the Arch Linux installer? I decided to install windows before installing Arch Linux because I want to dual-boot/with those operating systems.
What command should I type to exit & eject my Install CD?

reset button?
I think it depends on far into the process you are, if you are formatting the drive anew then it shouldn't matter much when, where, or how
Best of Luck,
Pat Jr.

Compile programs after linux installation

Hello,
when execute a transaction for first time after Linux installation the program is compiled. The server is a dialog instance with Red Hat and the central instance and database server have HP-UX O.S with Oracle. Why do this?
Regards.

ABAP programs are stored in text in the database table REPOSRC (often accessed from database view TRDIR). The first time any ABAP program is executed, it must be compiled first. Each time a program is executed, the compiled version is compared to the text version - if the text version has changed since the last compile, it will be compiled again. If you have a heterogenous install (for example, Unix and Linux application servers), then the programs must be compiled once for each platform.
The transaction code SGEN can help you to pre-compile all of your programs, if you wish.
Cheers,
David.

After Linux installation my notebook can not boot up properly

OK so I installed Linux ubunto and I was double booting with my standard version of Win when me and my friend tried to just go back to Windows we restored it back to the original with the backup disk only problem is that now the program (GRUB) that loads when you choose your operating system is still on the computer.
It gives me an error 22 message every time... I was told I need to reset the master boot record or something like that but I do not know how so if someone plz could help me?
That would be greatly appreciated!

Your MBR (Master Boot Record) contains GRUB loader. You must recover its original contents.
For win95/98/me you use "fdisk /mbr" with a startup disk.
With win2000/xp you boot into the recovery console using the installation CD and type fixmbr

Problem with linux installation on Thinkpad T410i

Hello everyone. I have a problem with an installation of Linux (Debian). Installation ended in my Thinkpad T410i, but when you are starting, the computer constantly restarts. With windows does not happen. What's the problem?
Probe with two versions: one with and one without GUI, and always restarts during startup stage or just finish loading the operating system. If eligo Windows in GRUB, the pc works normally.
I appreciate any help you can give me.

If you have a pendrive, you can use Universal USB Installer to copy all files into it, and install Linux.

Linux Installation- I can't find the required install script

I'm trying to follow the LabVIEW installation guide for Linux, but I am having trouble. This post will be kind of long, as I will try to tell you everything I have done so far. I'm also kind of new to Linux, so I'm sure there are many things I don't know.
I'm trying to use http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374718a.html#installing
and http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375845d.pdf
Step one from the guide is to insert the "installation media" and run
#sh ./INSTALL
and that's easy enough. Or at least it would be if I had any idea where this sh file is. I requested a copy of the install disks from my university (I'm installing on one of their computers), and they said that while they don't have any Linux install disks, they were pretty sure "it is on there somewhere," whatever that means. That seems to be about the extent of their knowledge regarding linux.
On this disk is a folder named slcp10 with contents slcp10.cab, slcp10.mis, and slcp200_mft.cab, all of which are windows files and as far as I can tell impossible to run on linux unless I'm using WINE, which is clearly not the way to go.
I also have a few ISOs from the site licensing department, but likewise no one seems to know anything about installing on linux. After mounting these ISOs I see that they contain the folders Bin, Common, Distributions, Licenses, and Readme (which is full of all kinds of irrelevant stuff). They also contain the files academicsitelicense.html, asladminresource.html, autorun.exe, autorun.inf, nisuite.xml, patents.txt, readme_core.html, setup.ede, and suite_md5_1.xml, none of which seem promising. Again, I only know how to install .exe files using WINE.
I've since turned to the internet to try and download it from NI directly, and have gone to http://www.ni.com/download-labview/ and selected "Already own LabVIEW? Download the latest version." From there I select the dropdown for alternative OS, and select the MAC OSX option as I read somewhere on the NI help pages that this would work on a linux machine (which makes sense to me, as MAC is UNIX-based, right?). Well, that gives me a dmg file (apparently some sort of mac file?) which I found a way to use on linux by extracting it in 7zip and then mounting the hfs file. This still seems to be some sort of evaluation program, as it contains LabVIEW2014Evaluation.pkg, readme.html (which takes me to the OSX install readme-useless), installation_guide.pdf (again, solely for MAC and useless to me), drivers.webloc, and the folders Extras and Licenses.
I'm at wit's end, man. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I've never had so much trouble installing a program before in my life, because technically I haven't even started the installation process yet, and I'm already about to defenestrate my computer. Please help me. I don't know what else to do, and I'm sure there is a very simple solution that I'm too ignorant to see.
At our other lab we run windows, and installing is cake. After learning Linux over the past few months, I never thought I'd say this, but I actually wish I had a windows machine right now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, I managed to get it installed, but only because I found another ISO from the site licensing department that had linux install files. Oddly enough, this single ISO is a scant 3 Gb while there are three other ISOs that each come in at 7.5 Gb. Are there really that many missing packages in Linux?
Sorry if anyone reading this has similar issues, but the best I can do is say find the Linux install disk.

Unable to boot new Linux installation on Lenovo G400

I am having problems installing Linux Mint 16 to a Lenovo G400 that I recently purchased here in China. I have an older Lenovo that I have had for several years, and have been quite pleased with it so I thought I would get another. I gave up on Windows several years ago, and have been running exclusively Linux, mostly Ubuntu or Mint, ever since. I have heard and read things about how Microsoft seems to be fighting back to restrict the spread of Linux, so I took a Live USB stick of Linux Mint 16 so I could see if start it with any machine that I was interested in.
The machine I tested my USB stick on worked fine, so I sent them to the warehouse to get a fresh one in a box. My problems started when they came back from the warehouse with another model, newer, with a faster processor, and pre-installed Linux. I entered the data required to complete the setup, and played around with the Linpus OS a bit before deciding to take that machine instead of the other. My thinking was that I could replace Linpus with Mint later. I did not try booting from my USB stick before agreeing to take this machine.
Later, after trying out Linpus and deciding I had a strong preference for a Debian derivative, I had trouble setting the boot order, but resolved that by finding a copy of the user guide in English. When I tried to boot from the USB, the first thing I noticed was that anything I tried to run from a Live USB stick would not function in standard or default mode. The menu would come up, I would select the default or standard mode, and the system would start to load but a few seconds later the screen would go black. The USB continued to flash for a while but the screen stays black.
At first I noticed this problem with Gparted, which would not run in default or failsafe mode, but does run in safe graphic mode. Similarly, with Mint 16, the live USB will only start in compatibility mode. Later there were several other live systems that I have tried with similar results. Almost all of the live systems I tried ran in their equivalent of the compatibility mode. The one exception to that was Boot-Repair-Disk, which I could not get to work at all in the 64-Bit edition. The 32-Bit edition did work, in their equivalent of compatibility mode, but it told me I needed the 64-Bit Edition because EFI was detected.
When I succeeded in getting the Gparted and Mint 16 live USBs to function in non-default modes I decided to go ahead with my repartitioning and installation plans. This may have been my second mistake. Maybe I should have taken this machine back, but I didn't.
With my Live USB of Gparted running in Safe Graphic mode, I found 6 partitions on the HDD: sda1 is FAT 32 and labeled boot; sda2 is an unknown file system and labeled bios_grub. Both of these partitions are 500 Mb, and I left them alone. I also left sda3 untouched, which is labeled linux-swap. Sda4, sda5 and sda6 I re-sized and re-formated to use as two / partitions and a shared /home.
I then installed Mint 16 in sda4 with sda6 as home. I left the GRUB intallation in the default setting, sda. The installation seemed to go alright, but when I try to boot I just see Lenovo and then the screen goes black. It does seem like the system may be loading and I just can't see it, but that is only a guess. I don't see anything that looks like the GRUB screen and so there is no way to use compatibility mode. Using Gparted from a Live USB suggests that the installation worked and there are files there.
I have searched on the web and have been unable to find anything that helps. Obviously, I am not an expert, but I have installed Linux quite a few times and never experienced anything like this. But then I am used to starting from a clean disk.
I am very tempted to delete the two partitions that I left in place and try an installation like I am used to doing. But I do not know anything about EFI, and my hard drive is listed in BIOS setup as an EFI HDD Device, so I don't know if my machine would still work if I delete these partitions.
So I am very much in need of some advice on this and I wonder if anyone can please offer me some guidance. And perhaps I should add a few more details, such as: USB Legacy is enabled; Boot Mode is set at Legacy Support ; Boot Priority is Legacy First ; USB Boot is Enabled; and my BIOS Version is 78CN25WW(V2.03).
I am sorry to go on so long, but I have tried to be thorough, thank you.

Hi, the W520 has ACPI and powermanegement issues on kernels < 2.6.39 without specific patches. Two questions:
What version of (K)Ubuntu are you trying to run?
What is the setting of your graphics system in the BIOS? Most of the time, setting it to Integrated just works fine, the open source Intel driver is quite good. When setting it to Discrete, you can either use the open source Nouveau drivers for the Nvidia card or the Nvidia proprietary binary drivers, all with varying success. At the moment I would not recommend setting it to Optimus, since support with Bumblebee is work in progress and quite tricky to handle. I am not sure what the Live CD is trying to do, but test it with graphics set to integrated first. Because of all the manual tweaking necessary two month ago I switched from Ubuntu to Gentoo, rolled a new kernel and never looked back. See my thread about HowTo Running Linux on the W520:

1.- We want to install NW04s with EP and WAS JAVA scenario, but first we have to install Solution Manager 4.0 with AS JAVA + AS ABAP instances, cause this is a necessary step for obtain the solution mananager key and for install NW04s. That's true?
2.- In Solution Manager 4.0 installation for Linux, the installation program remains in "step 20 - Import ABAP" for a long time (I leave it running for more than a 12 hours...), and show no errors, but still running and no goes to the next step. Any idea?

Operating system: Suse Linux Enterprise Edition 9.2
kernel: 2.6.5.7-7.267-smp
java version: J2RE 1.4.2 IBM J9 2.2 Linux amd64-64
I had a lot of problems to find jdk 1.4.xx for Linux on 64 bits that works with sapinst. For this reason, I had to install this IBM jdk.

Linux installation in SuSE 10.2

Has anyone been able to get LabVIEW 8 to work on SuSE 10.2? Signs of success or pointers would be welcome. I do not understand the need for LabVIEW to run such an ancient version of the Mesa libraries. The lib this is trying to use dates to 1999 or so and so far I have not had much in the way off success.
Bob Taylor

When you compile a LabVIEW VI into an executable the resulting executable will require the LabVIEW Run Time Engine to run. The version of the RTE depends on which version of LabVIEW was used to build that application so if it was built with LabVIEW 8.2 then it will depend on the LabVIEW 8.2 RTE. Just like LabVIEW versions you have multiple versions of the LabVIEW RTE installed at the same time.
So if you didn't already guess where I was going with this, some of the NI-VISA utilities are just LaVIEW VIs compiled executables, and they were built with LabVIEW 8.2 which is why NI-VISA installs the LabVIEW 8.2 RTE. This is completely normal and won't affect your LabVIEW installation in any way.
