New in Linux

Hello! All
I want to know that which version of linux is most comparable with Oracle 8.16?(I am thinking to purchase the red hat 6.2 or 7).
Also, does all the version of linux include Kernel?
null

I beleive RedHat is the Best Choice and if
you have the money there is a package called
Enterprise Linux which is Optimized for Oracle but the normal distrubution should work. As far as Kernals go I have been successfull with both 2.2.12-20 and 2.4 ,as
of now I beleive that the only company packing 2.4 is a german outfit called Suse
but I here red hat will soon catch up.

New to Linux - Getting Error No Space left on device when installing Oracle packages.

Hello all,
I'm new to linux and was in the process of installing the packages needed for Oracle 11g R2 on Ubuntu 12.04 got a message stating that there was no space left. It seems as though I should have plenty of space because I am installing it on 16GB RAM 480 GB HARD DRIVE Machine with nothing else on it but the operating system and Ubuntu Desktop.
It seems I am running out of space in the /root and /var directories and am not sure how to rectify this.
Can someone assist me with this.
Thank you.

df -h is one of the commands that will show you disk usage and partitions size.
Since you have desktop you could check this with some gui tool also.
First aid could be to resize your root partition and add more space to it.
Check on Google for how to resize partition using gparted.
Ubuntu is not certified for Oracle but you could still get the same error with other certified distributions.
First you should plan how and where to install database(where oracle home will be, datafiles etc.), then depending on that how to partition hard disk/s(separate root and home partitions or not, etc.), and then decide what is the appropriate size of your partitions.

I would like to completely remove the firefox nightly build. I have searched for this info already and havent found anything that could help. I'm fairly new to linux. I'm currently running ubuntu 11.10

I am just trying to remove nightly from my computer. I removed firefox 10 already. I am going to downgrade to firefox 4, but before I do, I want nightly off my computer and it is not listed under synaptic or any other package installer. There is a reason I want the older version of firefox, but I won't get into that right now. Thats a totally different issue. But I am fairly new to linux, so please try to give directions or answers in a way that I will be able to understand if possible. Thank you for your time.

Firefox 10a1 is an older alpha (Aurora/Nightly) version.
Is that a version that you installed yourself from the Mozilla server or is that a version from the Ubuntu repositories?
In the case of the latter you need to use the install and remove software item of your Linux distribution.
If you installed Firefox yourself then you can simply remove the Firefox installation directory.
You can find the latest Firefox release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

Announcing some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings

Hey All,
I wanted to introduce you to some new Arch Linux Schwag offerings I've been cooking up over the past little while.
I'm currently sold out of case badges, and Simo has faithfully shipped his last order. I'm trying to think of a way to compensate him, he's done so much work for me on the shipping front and all I ever offered him was dinner, (granted, he's a starving student, and dinner was hopefully much appreciated). When I reorder stickers, probably in the new year, I will be shipping them myself, from Canada, so domestic prices will be a touch higher.
Now, onwards to Schwag:
It's no secret that I'm the odd man out on the tacos vs poutine debate. I know you all will come around to my way of thinking eventually, but in the meantime, check out the new schwag where you can proudly pick your piece. I've also added a few other new t-shirt design, mostly as your suggestions. Check out the new products line at zazzle to place your order:
http://www.zazzle.com/archlinux/gifts?c … 1284817680
I think most of you know about the laptop bags, jewellery, and case badges (currently out of stock) selling at: http://schwag.archlinux.ca/
I've added a few handmade items of my own invention to the mix, including wooden and soapstone sculptures, keychains, and coasters, all featuring our favourite distro's logo:
http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/coaster/
http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/soapstone_sculpture/
http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/sculpture/
http://schwag.archlinux.ca/product/keychain/
I'm particularly proud of the soapstone sculptures, they look incredible. I'm not sure I can give them up. The keychains will also make great stocking stuffers this Christmas season, so remind your friends to shop Arch Schwag!
In addition, I would like to announce a preview of the Arch Linux Handbook. This should be retailing in a couple weeks, and will be available from both CreateSpace and Amazon.com. The handbook is basically a quick restyling of the epic beginner's guide in the wiki. You can preview it here:
https://www.createspace.com/3398103
That's all for now!

That's Acecero's contribution, as he implies. :-)
Also, there's a typo in the handbook's headline: "A simple lightweight Linuk handbook."
Yeah, I know... sadly, I didn't notice it until it was too late to change (the book was set up for publication). Now I have to wait for a new edition, or pay $40 to put one out now.
Acecero wrote:Just curious, are you going to release different editions of the Arch Linux Handbook from time to time? I'm assuming the information would need to be updated and the more marketability you will gain anyway.
I'm hoping to sell between 10 and 50 copies of this edition to pay for the upfront costs before making a new edition. The more popular it is, the more likely I will be to keep it up to date.
BTW, if anyone is interested in doing cover art for the second edition, get in touch with me. I've been told that this cover looks like ass (it was gently, with links to tutorials on design :-D)
Dusty

I use a Ubuntu (Linux) system and I have downloaded the package for Linux. I'm new to Linux, and I don't really know what to do with the package after I extracted it. Any help is appreciated.

There are plenty of executables, but non of them opened a window when I clicked on them. The package is the latest beta release.

You need to start the firefox script.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

New Oracle Linux 6 installation - ASMLib and EMC Powerpath - is it possible

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask whether that latest version of Oracle Linux 6 can be used for a new installation (one that will replace Windows) to serve as that basis for Oracle RAC.
The storage is a high-end EMC Clariion.
I want to use the Unbreakable Enterprise Linux 2.
I would like to use EMC Powerpath, but it seems this is not yet available (or at list not present in the current EMC support matrix).
I want to use ASMLib, but if have to use redhat compatible kernel (so that I can use Powerpath), I will not be able to use ASMLib (AFAIK).
Does anybody has experience with this problem? What would you recommend?
I'm putting a list of possile options that I am aware of:
1. Use OEL5 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and ASMLib).
2. Use OEL6 with UEK2 kernel, but don't use Powerpath (use dm-multipath and ASMLib)
3. Use OEL6 with redhat compatible kernel (use Powerpath and don't use ASMLib, but use udev for persistent device permissions and naming)
4. Use SLES11 (with Powerpath and ASMLib)
do you have other suggestions? do you have comments on the pros and cons on this options.
Can someone from EMC or Oracle comment on the plans to make Powerpath available for OL6 with UEK2 ?
Regards,
Mihail

I could test "OEL6 with RHEL kernel + Powerpath" vs "OEL6 with UEK2 kernel + dm-mpio", but anyway this would not give the answer whether Powerpath is faster or slower than dm-mpio by itself, since the kernels would be different.I wonder how the answer whether EMC Powerpath or DM Multipath is faster can help you? Apparently you cannot use Powerpath with the UEK2 kernel and have a certified system at the same time, at least not at this time. However there is no reason to throw the towel yet. If the use of Powerpath instead of Multipath is so critical, why not using Oracle Linux 5.7, which is certified? If you check the EMC compatibility matrix (esm_by_os), it actually shows some systems including Clariion supported for Oracle Linux 6.2 with UEK kernel. You might want to take a closer look.
Anyway, it doesn't look like you will be able to solve the performance question without doing a real world test in your environment. You have no indication that Oracle Linux 6.3 with DM Mutlipath will give you less performance than RHEL 6.3 with Powerpath. Regarding the information you found, Linux is not Windows.
Powerpath is not free and you have to pay a license, but worse, it will tie your system to a very specific version of the kernel. In case of RHEL 6 or later, it will deny you the use of Oracle specific products and features such as ASMLib, etc. Multipath seems to be the more economic and better solution since you do not have to worry about kernel versions and have the freedom to use whatever Oracle Linux has to offer.
So, do you want to limit your kernel features and options and fix a problem that you don't know even know if it applies and pay money for it?

It is amazing the effect that you've achieved with arch's logo. I was thinking some days ago if it would be possible to change the unpolished perspective of the official logo at arch's home page.
I wonder if you hadn't proposed this well proportioned, clear, and good angled image as the new official logo.
Arch is one of the best distros so you deserve double grats.
I hope to see more of your artwork soon. I drink to make other people interesting.

Populate archive logs from production (Solaris) to new production(Linux) db

I want to migrate my production database(Solaris) to different environment(Linux)
After production database migration my production database(Solaris) will be up and running for 2 days.
We are going to check applications for 2 days on temporary production(Linux) database.
For 2 days my primary database(Solaris) will be up and running and generating archive logs. After that i want to populate those 2 days archives to temporary database(Linux).
Question 1: How would i populate 2 days archive logs from primary database(Solaris) to new production environment(Linux)
Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\
I would be thankful for any expert suggestion.
Thanks,

Is there any way/utility do apply generated archives to different database?\They have to be applied to the same database (identified by DBID).
As soon as you OPEN the Linux database (and do any transactions therein), it diverges from your Solaris database. You cannot apply archivelogs of the Solaris database to the Linux database.

New Arch Linux Schwag offerings: Speakers and Notepaper

It's been a while since anything exciting has happened in the Arch Linux Schwag shops. Laptop stickers seem to be the most popular offering. I'm having trouble getting rid of Arch Linux Pens so they've been discounted to below cost.
New today are a couple offerings in the Arch Linux Zazzle Schwag store:
Arch Linux Speakers
Arch Linux note paper
Hope you enjoy the new schwag!

[Fake News] Arch Linux to change its release cycle

Today the Arch Linux community proclaimed that Arch Linux will change its release cycle and version numbering, as this was requested by billions of corporate goonies, Freemasons and Illuminati throughout the universe.
Releases will henceforth be scheduled in intervals deemed posh by the GNU/Linux community at the particular moment. The version numbering will be based on year the a new release is being published. Arch Linux "2016" will be released in early 2006. All following releases will have an offset of at least 10 years to underline how much more pure dead brilliant Arch Linux is compared to Mandrake.
To achieve a smooth transition, an transitional release will be made at once, named "Useless Marketing Edition". The Arch Linux FTP server will be configured allow one download of the iso image only. This will also be an experiment to find out how the community will be able to spread such a limited edition.
An Arch Linux user who wishes to remain nameless said in an exclusive interview with the almighty incinerator: "This is a great opportunity for Arch Linux, the new release numbering will confuse and divert computer illiterate lusers from installing our beloved Arch Linux, freeing us from answering stupid support requests. Now we can finally start to work towards our ultimate goal: To become the only GNU/Linux community being as elitist as OpenBSD's."

Ach guys, you don't get it :-(
The version numbering scheme was supposed to mock the fact Mandrake plans to release their "2006" version in 2005. That reminds of old times, when (computer) magazines were trying to beat each other releasing the most up-to-date issue to the market. The whole affair became absolutely silly, there were magazines that had the "April" issue hitting the shelves at the end of January. These "issue number wars" occur every now and then.
The funny scenario I can imagine is that other (GNU/Linux) vendors could jump onto that train and "predating" their releases further and further.
The rest is just various mockery about lusers and other things found in the Mandrake's press release. And of course the arrogantly elitist OpenBSD community always deserves getting their arses whipped ;-)

I played a bit with usplash today, but it seems that only 4:3 images are supported AND images can't have more than 256 colors. You have to mess with C Source Files to change text and background colors (by picking an index of the 256 color palette)...remembers me of making grub splashs (only 16 colors ). Because of the 256 colors gradients won't work well and I think I stick with gensplash until usplash has improved more. On the other hand usplash with my wallpaper looks not too bad
