NI GPIB driver support for linux 2.4

Is the NI linux GPIB driver compatible with the Linux 2.4 kernel? Does the NI linux GPIB driver provide a generic device interface (i.e. independent of LabVIEW)? I would like to access the driver using the POSIX interface (i.e. read/write/mmap etc.) via a standard device node (i.e. in '/dev'). We are looking to add a PCI-GPIB interface to our generic control and monitor system. The initial application will involve special purpose software interfacing with external test equipment (scope, power supply, etc.). The current platform is an Intel based industrial PC running Linux 2.4. This system will NOT be able to support data visualization via LabVIEW.

Unfortunately, the current BETA driver (0.6) released by NI does not support version 2.4.x of the Linux kernel. There are plans for support in the future but no timeline has been specified. I would suggest checking back with NI on occassion at http://www.ni.com/linux for the latest news and support of the Linux OS.

Are there any sound cards with best driver support for Arch?

I was wondering if there are any sound cards that have the best driver support for ArchLinux? I currently own a Creative Labs X-FI Platinum Edition. The main reason I like the Platinum is that has an interface you can plug MIDI and Audio ports into. It seems to me, however, that Creative is the worst company to support Linux drivers. If anyone has any opinions, please feel free to comment. According to all my research, ALSA sound drivers are the most supportive for sound. Am I also correct in this assumption?

yeah, creative sucks. go with m-audio. they support linux unlike creative.

Printer Driver Support for Computers Running Windows 8 Release Preview

Printer driver support for computers running Windows 8 Release Preview
HP is working to help customers have the best experience with HP printers connected to PCs running the final release of Windows 8. The pre-release time is a development period when HP develops and tests printer driver solutions. HP’s current plan is for Windows 8 compatible printers to be available when the new operating system is released to the public. HP is working with Microsoft to include drivers in the Windows 8 operating system for HP printers introduced in recent years.
There may be a variety of sources for a printer driver/solution for your HP printer on a computer running Windows 8 Release Preview.
inOS:
An in-Operating System (inOS) driver is a basic driver that is included within the operating system. You do not need to download or install any software from HP. Windows 8 Relase Preview contains several inOS drivers. If an inOS driver is available for your printer, you will have at least basic print capability with USB and Network and basic scan capability with USB only (if your printer supports scanning).
Windows Update:
There might be a more functional or more up-to-date driver available for your printer through Microsoft Windows Update. If Windows Update is enabled, then the Windows Update process activates automatically when you connect (USB and Network connections) the printer to the computer. It searches online for the most recent print driver on the Windows Update site. If the online driver is more functional than the currently installed driver in Windows 8, the computer downloads and installs this driver.
HP Supplied Printer Driver/Solutions:
Although HP does not formally support any pre-release versions of Windows Operating Systems, including Windows 8 Release Preview, we may supply some full functionality drivers* prior to the official release of Windows 8. These drivers may be supplied as a courtesy to our valued HP customers through this Support Forum, though no formal support will be available otherwise. We welcome feedback within these support forums. Please check back for further updates as the official release of Windows 8 approaches.
* Full feature drivers provide full product functionality, plus valuable software to help you get the most out of your printer.

Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
offer a total solution. Now they even can have
windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
doing with a mac.
I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.

LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620?

Hi All,
I am using PXI-8106 to run heavy-duty communication and one chasis holds the CEI-620 card (third party ARINC429 card from GE, formerly Condor Engineering). Currently on the PXI controller only runs LabVIEW RT (Pharlap) since I did not want to install Windows OS to slow the performance. Now here it is the problem, GE does not provide LabVIEW RT driver support for CEI-620 (they do have LabVIEW RT support for CEI-830 though, but that card is PMC interface). Basically right now MAX can not recognize the CEI-620 card on the host side, and I can not deploy my ARINC429 application VI to the target PXI controller. I am wondering anybody here has encountered the same problem and develop the LabVIEW RT driver for CEI-620 on his own?
Thanks.

Hi,
Unfortunately I don't have much more information to offer. I would suggest checking to make sure you have all the correct device information whe you create the ini file. I think you should still be able to develop a driver for a poll based device. It should be easier to generate an ini file if you do not require interrupt information. Make sure you have the correct identification information and try using the VISA Driver Development Wizard again.

ODBC instant client driver rpm for Linux X64

Hi,
Can anyone tell me where can I find odbc instant client driver rpm for Linux X64 edition.
I can only see for Linux x32 not for X64.

I don't understand your step 7 (the first step 7, actually).
What is that unixODBC-2.2.14-linux-x86-32.tar.gz, where did it come from, and why are you doing all that?
unixODBC should be installed after step 5.
I guess that that is the cause of your problem.
isql is not linked against readline at all on my RHEL 5 system.
Do you notice any improvement after removing the files from that tar.bz file?
Yours,

JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity

Hello JDev Team,
I am trying to implement JDBC Thin Driver Support for Data Encryption and Integrity.
It works fine with java.sql.Connection and java.util.Properties like in the following code:
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
Properties props = new Properties();
int level = AnoServices.REQUIRED;
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_client", Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.encryption_types_client", "( RC4_40 )");
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_client",Service.getLevelString(level));
props.put("oracle.net.crypto_checksum_types_client", "( MD5 )");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection ("jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:main", props);
etc...
But I am developing an application with InfoSwing components and it has a different way to connect to Oracle database using oracle.dacf.dataset.connections.Connection, like this:
sessionInfo1.setAppModuleInfo(new ModuleInfo("bc", "BcModule"));
sessionInfo1.setConnectionInfo(new LocalConnection("JDBCThin"));
sessionInfo1.publishSession();
My question is:
Is there any way to implement DataEncryption and Integrity into this type of connection?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Victor Bykov

Victor,
No, you can't do this from DAC, but I've been discussing it with the developer, and we both think this capability would be useful to have, so I've logged it as an enhancement request.
I do have a question for you. Once you've made the JDBC connection, do you need access to the Connection object afterwards? We're thinking of how the change could be implemented, and one way would be to allow you to pass in a Properties object when creating your own NamedConnection.
Thanks
Blaise

Windows 7 64bit driver support for GX623

Hi, i have GX623 laptop (CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo P8400; RAM: 4GB ), i am interested why there is no Windows 7 64bit driver support for this model ? I really would like to run some 64bit software on it.
If my laptop hardware support it why MSI don't release drivers so my software can also support it. In some 32bit drivers there are some 64bit drivers but still not all for complete functionality.
On some older posts from 2009 I see responses that windows 7 64bit is very new so that's the reason for no driver support but in 2011 surely that is not the case.
Can we expect 64bit drivers for Windows 7 in near future or support for 64bit software isn't planed for this model?

So is it officially GX623 supported for Windows 64bit install because I still don't see any drivers for Windows 7 64bit or maybe Windows 7 64bit don't need any drivers?
Hello anybody here? Anybody working here?

I see two others have asked this question, but I don't find the answer satisfactory: So when will the GPIB driver support the 2.4 kernel? Or

for that matter when will it get beyond BETA status? When I bought Labview for Linux, I assumed NI would provide GPIB drivers so that I'd be able to use it. I think we've been at BETA 0.6 for almost a year. For what Labview costs, this isn't reasonable.

Does Active directory support for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?

Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to Active directory and my company has few requirements which he need to achieve by implementing Microsoft Active directory. I tried reading some blogs/documents on google but was not able to get the clear understanding. So would request
you all to please help me in getting the correct answers.
1) Does AD supports linux/mac/ubuntu clients getting authenticated from it?
2) Does AD supports root/non-root privilege login which is like admin/non-admin rights in windows for linux/mac/ubuntu?
3) Does Password policy works well on linux/mac/ubuntu cleints?
4) Does AD support auto-loading application after successful login in linux/mac/ubuntu clients? For eg: Logging into jabber client as soon as user logins IN.
5) Can AD trace and log the authentication information for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
6) Does AD support rules based login for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
7) Do we have high availability in AD runing Active-Active?
8) can we push patched/security policies via AD on linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
9) Can we schedule crons for linux/mac/ubuntu clients via AD like we have task schedules set-up in Windows?
10) Can linux/mac/ubuntu cleints be included part of GPO?
11) Auto-backups or auto mapping of shared drives by AD on widnows/linux/mac/ubuntu cleints?
12) Can we capture licenses etc(Server management) thing in AD.
13) Does AD support communication over SSL.
14) Does AD supports SSO authentication for linux/mac/ubuntu clients?
Thanks guys in advance
Regards
Sam

While I cannot speak for mac clients, there is a labour intensive method that allows linux distros to be able to connect to AD in a windows environment. Take a look at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2008.12.linux.aspx
for tips. Please note, it was designed with the Fedora/Red Hat Core in mind, but ubuntu distro's will also work, you just need the appropriate packages.

S205 :Sad with Lenovo Driver support for Win 8

Sorry for my bad english, but I need to tell you my frustrating experience.
Due to low cost new windows 8 OS 64bit, I buy a lincense for mine Lenovo S205, conforted with some new Driver updated for 8 on Lenovo site.
I saw something strange in the Driver's page for ex. the wireless driver is called Cybertan\LiteOn and we have a Ralink RT 3090 wifi module.(or in some market Atheros AR9285)... Hummm realy strange.
I cross my fingers, I pray god and I start downloadin ALL the driver and start upgrading my system.
At restart I have my new Win8 64bit system and thank of god the most important driver (Ralink wifi) was autodetected and recognized by Win8 whitout install the strange Cybertan\LiteOn from Lenovo that doubt was working in a ralink device.
But at this point strarts the big issues with the unrecognized devices, that tahnks of god were less than expected but drivers fron Lenovo site were all wrong !!!!! Yes wrong, it seems a joke but was the true,
I think,(to tell the true I'm sure) no one from Lenovo tech checked the drivers in a S205 models, and I can explain why with the above sad experience:
- SOUND: windows only install generic HD drivers and the sound quality as expected was crappy. So I try the lenovo driver Conexant but it does not properly work, SmatAudio icon in the ControlPannel was not present, no conexant pannel to manage sound, and nothing changed, windows continue with is own generym Microsoft HD drivers. I remeber that Lenovo model U300S and U300E have the same soundcard I dowload their Conexant Win8 driver (with a different number so I hope it was teh latest) and my idea was great, the Conexant U300 driver works on my S205 lenovo and Win8 detect the conexant soundcard and SmartAudio is present and working. There is only a isse concerning SRS Sound that is present on my system but if I try to lounch nothing appens, so I think is not correctly working. But so far so god sound is better than before with generic MS drivers, but to do so I have to choose a different driver from a different Lenovo pc, not an easy step for a normal user.
- OSD: on screen display (FN+F keys) in 7 they was insert in the Lenovo Energy Mnagement, so to works you need to instal it. I make the same in win 8 with the new Lenovo Energy Management provides by Lenovo site, Lenovo Energy Management is working but OSD no !!!!
Windows 8 detect and show you in autonomy soud level and brightnes when you press FN+Arrow keys ant that are the most important but ALL the FN+F Keys are not showed on screen even if probably they are working (for ex. Fn+F6 correctly enabel1disable touchpad) but not icon showen on screen !! Well I can leave without OSD but once again seems Lenovo don't try EnergyManagement on a Win8 pc.
- CARD READER: Windows detect and unknow device called USB CRW and I though correctly was the card reader, in fact I try a sd and win8 was not able to read it. So I install the Realtek CardReader downloaded from Lenovo site, It was extracted and installed but I don't know why the driver seems bugged, the pattern contains only some icon but not exe ord driver, in fact the Card reader even if I try the driver more times it was not decetced. I tryed the old Windows 7 driver for my S205 and thank of god it was working and now my cardreader is detected and working. Once angain the win8 driver provided by Lenovo fails and I need the oldest win 7 driver that maks the job.
- TOUCHPAD: Synaptics touchpad was detected by windows 8 but all the basic features as the scrolling or 2 fingers was not working. So I try the Synaptics drivers provided by Lenovo and it was only for 32bit system even if is clearly showed as 32 and 64bit driver. The driver itself promp me that is not working on a 64bit system and i need to contact the producer :-(
Hahahaha very hilarious so I have to download the driver from Synaptics server that is so slow that I need 2 hours to finaly have my touchpad driver. Once again an epic fail from lenovo site.
CONCLUSION: Lenovo is the new n.1 pc producer in the world but it seems realy not professional when check his drivers and public it on the website. Could be s205 is the cheapest and not business line notebook but ... I am realy sad whit the way Lenovo put new drivers without any preventive control in the homesite driver's page.
It seems it was a lottery, extracting a number and put the corresponding driver on the S205 drivers page :-(
Sir this is not the good behaviour, is the bast way to loose users !!!! Very disappointed, very sad and I hope this post can help S205 users taht want use the new Windows 8 system to catch the correct solutions
I hope too some Lenovo developers can read this, try win8 on a s205 notebook and solve all the problems, because even if I solve with my 20 years pc experience all the issue, still remais some problems as SRS Sound seems not working (if It can work on our system, but if it can't why put in on our s205 driver too) and no OSD for every FN keys working.
There are not present some utility for win 8 as for example the CAPSLOCK keys utility that was present for 7 but not for 8 (I have to try if the older work on 8) or the Lenovo OneKey that seems not ready for 8..
So far so good winodws 8 works great on S205 and is a good choice if you catch the correct drivers as I explain here.
Hoping this help Lenovo not making the same mistakes in the future, and learn from their errors.
Once angain sorry for my language mistake but I'm not English
Hore this post can help in some case
Bye

Hi Romagnolo1973!
Thank you for posting all the things you learned, and how you got your S205 working with Windows 8! Hopefully this will help others.
To be fair to Lenovo, they list Windows 8 as not supported on the S205.

As you found, it is sometimes possible to work around the problems and get things working to your satisfaction!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

How does a customer request new Driver support for BOE XI 3.1?

Creative Driver Support for X-Fi WTF?

Is it just me or is Creative not trying hard enough to enable the features of their X-Fi line-up for Vista? I just saw the March Release for the drivers and yet again like 5 key features still don't work? For me this is irritating since I rely on my desktop audio for my home theater system. Is anyone else just a little ticked at Creative's response to Vista? It's been awhile since I've bought from a company that couldn't give good driver support.....

I'm not sure about other companies so far all my drivers are fine ATi, Asus, hell even logitech just got their G5 Keyboard Driver out, but Creative still thinks it's acceptable to deli'ver a product without proper driver support, let's remember vista has been around for 6 YEARS, though maybe in beta many companies got their Vista drivers out instantly such as ATi, there is no excuse for poor support especially from a Behemoth like Creative, they have the money they have the time, the fact that it hasn't been done is testiment that they don't give a **bleep** about people who truly use their X-Fi cards to their full capabilities. This obviously is not their top priority to support these products, hopefully this poor support will come to their attention as for me if there was an alternati've card I could buy with support I probably will buy it if Creative can't get their act together very soon. Like I said earlier I use my audio card for everything, SPDIF in and out decoding, gaming, xbox 360 nintendo Wii, and the without the few good functions needed that Creative doesn't quite have yet my entertainment center is crippled you dont spend 00's of dollars on a product to not get the support.
