Linux Newbie here

Hey All,
Extremely Linux newbie here...
I am planning to install Linux on my personal PC with the eventual goal of installing Oracle 10g and Oracle Apps11or/12 on it.
1) Where can I download Linux from?
2) Can anyone provide me links for download and installation instructions?
Thanks,
Chiru

Hi newbie here . .

Hi everyone
(Sorry if this post is in the wrong thread but am just getting sorted).
Newbie here and having just swapped from a Windows machine to my mac I am finding a problem with itunes.
Please in words of one syllable . . could some one please say if using the "Open Stream" in advanced icon will allow me to connect to BBC local radio?
If so, please could they say how?

Hi Macadam_ace,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Do they have their show on the internet? The iTunes Help document says,
"If you know the Internet address (URL) of an MP3 streaming broadcast, you can connect to it using iTunes.
Choose Advanced > Open Stream.
Enter the full URL of the file you want to listen to. For example, http://www.apple.com/itunes/sample.mp3."
I hope that helps,
Jon

Can I use one hard drive for two computers? Newbie here.

Newbie here.
I currently use Time Machine for my iMac (Intel)
I've been using my Macbook Pro (Intel) a lot lately and would like to back it up from time to time as well.
Can I simply attach the external hard drive to my Macbook Pro and set up Time Machine?
Can use the external hard drive for both machines?
Will Time Machine recognized that my Macbook Pro is a separate computer and set up a separate folder on the external hard drive automatically?
Thanks

Hi,
you can use the drive for as many Macs as you like, just make sure it's big enough. Time Machine will create separate folders for your Macs and will "know" which one you're using.

Hi newb here , Can anyone help with Port Forwardin...

Hi guys
Newb here on Broadband Option 3 .
New to the world of BTorrents ( hope thats not a dirty word ) and just need some help on Port Forwarding with the Curved Blue Voyager ( latest one I think )
Problem is I can't seem to upload anything back and obviously I dont just wanna leech all the time lol
Thanks in advance
H

First of welcome to BT Community Forums, although your in the help with speed/connection issues section and bit-torrent is nothing to do with BT but i'll still try to help.
downloading a torrent file is one thing but just because you download does'nt mean you need to upload anything if for example your downloading something with say 100 seeders and 15 leechers then you may find that you dont upload anything or very little, thats nothing to worry about at all.
Or
If you've made a torrent and cant figure out why its not uploading it may be due to the fact you need to upload the small torrent file to a p2p site in order for others to see it.
Hope this small insight into the world of torrents helps, but i dont know what else to tell you on this subject.
Kindest Regards

Oracle 8i for Linux is here!

Looks like 8i for Linux is here. Check the download link on the
left of this page. I ordered a CD a while back, but got an NT
version. Anyone know if Oracle intends to send out the 8i/Linux
CD to those that asked for it (during the EAP window)?
null

I had an Alpha I wanted to install 8i on under Linux, but at
this point it only supports Linux on an Intel box. You may want
to check the migration path to see if Oracle plans to port to a
Power-PC

[multithread] newbie here ... is inputStream shared?

Hi, a newbie here. I've been playing with java for six month now and it's been pretty fun. Looking forward to learn more about java from this forum. Now I have a question about this little project I've been doing.
I'm currently developing a multi-threaded client-server application (both client and server are multi-threaded). The idea is very easy which is to create threads that send http request to one server which will send back XML to the
corresponding thread.
I've managed to make it work. My application can now make http request and get the XML it's looking for. However, problem occurs when I try this scenario:
1. Client Thread 1 http request> server -> creates server thread 1
I made Server Thread 1 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 1 has to wait for the response.
Then, while Server Thread 1 is still on sleep, I make another http request:
2. Client Thread 2 http request> server -> creates server thread 2
I again Server Thread 2 sleep for awhile so Client Thread 2 has to wait for the response.
Now, Server Thread 1 wakes up and returns the XML response message. Now the funny thing is the Client Thread that accepts this response is not Client Thread 1, but Client Thread 2:
3. Server Thread 1 wakes up -- XML response --> Client Thread 2 reads the response instead of Client Thread 1.
What could be the problem!? What's also weird to me is that, if I try to do this scenario using a browser (by executing http request), the problem doesn't happen. Client Thread 1 returns to Server Thread 1 and Client Thread 2 returns to Server Thread 2.
The code I wrote consist of a thread objects which has it's own private UrlConnection, InputStream, OutputStream, etc.
This is a snippet of my code:
public class Process {
// this is how I create my threads
public void execute(DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
HttpProcess httpRequestor;
try
httpRequestor = new HttpProcess(datasource,ad);
httpRequestor.start();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
public class HttpProcess extends Thread {
private URL url;
private HttpURLConnection urlConn;
private DataSource ds;
private ADData adData;
private BufferedReader d;
private BufferedWriter t;
private InputStream in;
private OutputStream out;
private DataInputStream din;
private DataOutputStream dout;
public HttpProcess (DataSource datasource, ADData ad)
this.ds = datasource;
this.adData = ad;
// this is how I implement my run method
public void run ()
try
String urlmsg = "http://localhost:9050" +
"/?field1=" + adData.getField1()+
"&field2=" + adData.getField2()+
"&field3="+ adData.getField3();
System.out.print("Sending URL message : " + urlmsg);
url = new URL(urlmsg);
urlConn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
urlConn.setRequestMethod("GET");
urlConn.setDoOutput (true);
urlConn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
out = new BufferedOutputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getOutputStream());
dout = new DataOutputStream(out);
t = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(dout));
t.flush();
while(listening)
in = new BufferedInputStream(((HttpURLConnection)urlConn).getInputStream());
din = new DataInputStream(in);
d = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(din));
String inputStr;
if ((inputStr = d.readLine())!=null)
din.close();
XMLParser xmlparser = new
XMLParser(ds,adData,ajData);
listening = false;
d.close();
I thought I had it right by having private inputStream for each thread. but the behavior looks like the inputStream is shared by the two threads. However, I'm still new with java so I know my conclusion worth zero. Has anybody ever bumped into this kind of problem? Looking forward to hear back what you guys think. I'm just really really really curious about this problem
Thanks so much.

Please use code tags ([code] and [/code]). It's also quite possible the problem is in your server code, or your test jig, etc. You should post a small example that replicates your problem.
Also, the while(listening) loop looks really screwy. I'm not sure what's going on there (why would you wrap your input stream inside a loop, especially since you close the input stream in the loop)?

Help!!! Newbie here!

Alright. I have CS3 and am 'trying' to get used to it. I am trying to do a vintage effect and of course this takes many steps. One of the steps (almost one of the lasts) is to go to Filter>Distort>Lens Correction AND then from there, use the Vignette Slider, etc...
Well, Under MY Filter, there is NO distort, there was in my CS2, so I dunno what the deal is. I used the Help Search and it found the distort under the Edit>Transform>Distort. BUT, the distort is greyed out! I have tried everything. It IS in 8 bit, I've even tried 16 bit... NOT working. The only time distort even comes up is if I go to another 'blank' layer... and of course, I can't do anything with it! :(
so, what do i need to do to get the distort working... it's there, but it's greyed out. Please help. And I don't know if this will give my email or not, please feel free to email me also with your help! :D thanks!

I know you're new here, and I'd like to welcome you to this forum. However, please understand that (in addition to the previous posts here), a generic "HELP!!!" subject line won't bring you responses: Folks scanning the topics have no idea what the problem is, and even if they may have an answer, they may not bother to click on the generic topic, read it and post.

Newbie Here - Constant Crashing & Can't Load Files CS5.5

A complete newbie here....I have started a project, imported clips, everything works great. I edit my sequence, I've got a create basic edited video. I save the project. That was a great days work....
Now everytime I re-open a project, it sits there loading for what feels like eternity. The video never loads into the "program" viewing area, but I can see the clips and a thumbnail of the clips in the Sequence section below.
And then it crashes while trying to play the program, most of the time.
If it doesn't crash it's simply choppy and I cannot play the program still.
However, if I start from sratch, new project, load clips in, everything plays smoothly so I don't believe it is my hardware that's causing the problem. I'm getting tired of re-editing the same clips over and over.
Suggestions?

Alright...I have some more info...I looked into the windows event viewer...

How to install j2re on Linux (newbie, non-developer)

Forgive me for this stupid newbie question, but I'd like to know where to put my j2re package. I downloaded the .bin file, and extracted it into the folder where I downloaded it. Does it just stay there? Is it installed? I hope not, because it's in my tmp directory.
I'm not a developer (obviously); I just want to run Open Office, which requires JRE, but gives no clue how to install it.

Go here http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html and click on the line "Installation Instructions"

Trouble Running Oracle on Linux --- newbie

I've installed Oracle on my linux system with a few errors at the end, which the installer assured me that those errors will not affect my installation (some sort of services errors).
So what do I do now?
I'm well versed with SQL and have been working with database systems for years... but getting oracle running has be a pain in my neck.
Here are a few issues... numbered for your reply convenience:
1)What file do you run to start the daemon? One would think that since this version is made to run on linux, the standard <name>d daemon naming would be expected (oracled, much like mysqld).. but I find nothing. I'm looked through the quick install and the install guides, and I must be missing something. They explain how to use everything to use oracle... but they don't say how to start the darn thing.
2)What is the ORACLE_HOME directory? The install would not allow me to run as root, so I had to run as one of the users. It then asked for an inventory directory which it said would house all my oracle products.. (/usr/local/oraInventory).. yet.. it tried to use /home/johnt/Oracle_Home1 for something.. I would assume oracle. Why would it try to install a product in my home directory rather than the inventory directory I just gave it??? What are these directories for? Your install language needs a little help. Is Oracle_Home1 supposed to be my first oracle product? Meaning if I purchase another then it will be install in Oracle_Home2? Not intuitive naming. Is this simply the single user's environment? Meaning that this is duplicated in every users directory? That would take up a hell of a lot of space.
3)Half of the programs I try to run say that ORACLE_HOME isn't found. Yet I have followed the install guides as to how to set the variable yet it still doesn't find it. I assumed that my Oracle_Home1 directory was the ORACLE_HOME directory... but since that didn't work, I tried setting it to the oraInventory directory (the one which the installation said the oracle products would be installed.. or housed.. which would make it a home, right?) and it still did not work. What am I doing wrong?

Connected to an idle instance.This message means that your DB is not running, or ORACLE_SID environment variable is not set properly. Be sure that ORACLE_SID has correct value, then, if you get that message, type "startup".

JRE install help needed with linux newbie

I recently tried installing the latest JRE for Linux AMD64, following all the guidelines listed in the install instructions. However, as I am completely new to the world of Linux, I don't know if anything needs to be done beyond the install guide in order to have the JRE up and running. I have tried setting up Open Office 2 to recognise the new JRE, but have had no luck. I don't know if this is a case of me not knowing the correct directory to give in Open Office, or whether I have missed something in the Install/Configuration.
In case you need to know, the installation unpacked to "/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06"
Thank you,
Scott Christopher

You will find the solution in your Linux forum. Depending on what distribution you have, e.g. here for Debian based Ubuntu:

[SOLVED] Dual monitors and raid - linux newb

Hi
I'm raginaot and I'll probably be asking a lot of dumb questions here in the near future
I just decided to say goodbye to windows for a while. Been wasting too much time gaming and it was either - switch to linux or - sell my computer and move to the desert. I'm gonna try the former first and see how it goes.
I managed to install arch and get gnome up and running with the help of the most awesome linux install guide I have ever seen and I installed the xf86-video-ati driver package but I'm having trouble getting it to recognise my 2 monitors.
I'll list my hardware specs before I go any further:
CPU: i7 920
RAM: 12GB (3x4) Mushkin Silverline 1333MHz
Motherboard: Gigabyte EX58-UD3R (rev 1.6)
GPU: ATI HD5870 1GB
Souncard: Auzentech X-fi forte
Monitors: Samsung 2693HM and Samsung 226BW
now the monitors seem to be stuck in mirrored mode, both showing the same image at 1280*1024 resolution
when I try to set them both to on and their native resolutions (1920*1200 and 1680*1050) in the display settings I get a message that says:
"the selected configuration for displays could not be applied
required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3600, 1200), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920"
But when I unplug the 22" display, I can set the 26" to native res just fine and vice versa.
Now to the second issue...
I have 2 1TB drives in raid0, but in fdisk -l they appear as 2 seperate 1TB drives instead of 1 big 2TB like they're supposed to (see output below).
I guess I have to mount them in some special way, but I have no idea how. The raid worked right away in linux mint.

Glad you were able to figure out the RAID part - I can't really help you with that. As far as the dual monitor setup, I would suspect that you will need to do some stuff with the xorg config to get it working. I would say that xorg.log would be the first thing to look at - to see what is limiting the modes available to X. Maybe post the xorg.log and your x configuration
My post in this thread might give a bit of background on how X comes up with what resolutions it lets you choose.

Not sure what to look for here...
The "#DisplaySize 470 300" line looks like something.
I only have the 26" screen plugged in at the moment, if that matters. Does the xorg log change it self when I plug in another screen?

Newb here witha few questions.

Not a newb to macs but to my powerbook. I had a Powermac G3 all in one beige with 384 MEGS of ram, 9.2 OS and a factory speed of 233 MGHZ clocked to 280 and 4 GIG HD and CD drive. It since died a few years ago when the power unit/supply...i am guessing, crapped out. I now just purchased a Lombard 400 MGHZ powerbook G3 DVD/CD, with 64 MEGS of ram and a 6 gig HD. There is some things i need to get for it...ram, batteries and a bigger hardrive but i am happy with it. I am running 10.2 on it right now and REALLY need more memory. I am about to install 9.2 on it as well. My question is the PC slot on the left side, what can go there? I know the 333MGHZ Lombards use a DVD decoder there but mine does not since its built in. What sorta things can go there? Also i have a 10.3 CD here...should i install it as wellor will it make it run slower since i only have the 64 MEGS right now.

Flex Newbie Here

I am a complete Flex newbie...so forgive my limited knowledge
while I ask my question! LOL
Here is what I'm trying to do:
I have some data in a database that tracks how many of a
certain item I have.
I want to create a simple flex app that will list these items
and their current count, and when that count changes in the
database, the page automatically reflects the new value without
refreshing my entire page.
From the very limited amount of knowledge I have of Flex so
far, this seems like it should be pretty simple, but I need to get
this running fairly quickly, more quickly than I think I could
learn how to do it on my own. So any help/guidance would be greatly
appreciated!!
Also, on a side note, I have picked up and am starting to
work my way through the Adobe Flex 3 Training from the Source
book...are there any other good resources for learning Flex out
there that anyone could recommend?
Thanks!!

You want to use the Data Management Services for such a
thing.
If your company, does not have the budget for Adobe Livecycle
Data Services (LCDS), you can use Farata Systems' Clear Toolkit
based on the free Blaze DS.
