Nice introduction to Linux with a focus on Arch at Engadget

Good general article about Linux with a brief look at its history.
The hook is "Getting your hands dirty with Linux" so the distro focus is on Slackware and Arch.

Dual boot kali linux with windows 8

i have ideapad y510p and i want to dual boot kali linux with windows 8
i want a full guide to do it please !!help!!!

Hello,
if you got problems with the kernel, you can try backbox-linux. The kernel there is newer. It is based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Have a nice day

Linux with MSI 865PE ?

Hi
I would like to try some kind of linux with my computer. I am not sure which version to try, but "SUSE Linux 10.1" looks intresting!....
Ive been reading on News sites that if you bought your XP version as an OEM license when to built your computer you are not allowed to use it with an new Motherboard. XP will not allow you to switch motherboard....????
Is this true?
I am so tired of microsoft and Linux looks nice.
Questions:
If I install Linux on my computer, what about the INTEL INF driver? Do I try to install it or?? Its not for linux. Do I need it?
What Linux version should I try? As a newbie.
I need good links to Linux sites.
/ Lithesteel /

Suse Linux is alright....I had it installed on three different PCs (one was a laptop and one was a Desktop Both Dells) the other one was a white box with an asus mobo. The thing that turned me off to the whole Linux thing was trying to find drivers that work with Linux. The Asus mobo was the only Box that would run it and look nice. It had some nice features but it just wasn't for me.
Just a tip
Don't format your windows HDD just to load up Linux, get a new drive to install it on.

Java running under linux with crontab

I'm having a problem:
i want to run a java program under linux with crontab.
my classes are in a directory and aren't in a package. i run em by invoking ./start which is a small script that i wrote. The script is in the same dir as the classes and invokes java by "java Main >>logjava.txt " but this doesn't seem to work all i get is an empty logfile
i need to run the program every day at 0800 so i inserted the following in crontab:
0 8 * 1-5 /var/"path"/start > logjava (where path is the path to the classes dir)
if i run the cmdline from anywhere on the prompt i get the result i want. I think it's because the cron runs it from the root dir thus making java unable to find the classes
Any suggestions would be welcome. or can some1 tell me how to make linux executables from the java (i usually use jsmooth for the windows exe)

You can execute several commands in the process started by cron. You separate them using semicolons.
Have you tried a cron entry like this:
0 8 * 1-5 cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjavaOr, you may need to make sure the process started by cron gets the same environment as your interactive shells do, by explicitly loading your setup or .login scripts:
0 8 * 1-5 . $HOME/.setup;cd /var/"path";pwd;echo $PATH; ./start > logjava

Oracle10g Installation problem on Linux with DHCP IP

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Products, I have tried to install Oracle 10G on Linux with DHCP IP.
I got the following warning while installing even though I have loopback interface configured.
Checking Network Configuration requirements ...
Check complete. The overall result of this check is: Failed <<<<
Problem: The install has detected that the primary IP address of the system is DHCP-assigned.
Recommendation: Oracle supports installations on systems with DHCP-assigned public IP addresses. However, the primary network interface on the system should be configured with a static IP address in order for the Oracle Software to function properly. See the Installation Guide for more details on installing the software on systems configured with DHCP.
Please help me in resolving this problem or Can I ignore this message?

This warning means it is not recommended to install Oracle 10g on a DHCP assigned IP address. It could work, but you won't be able to configure Enterprise Manager, since this tool requires a fixed IP address. If possible, have the IP address fixed.

10g Grid (RAC) on Linux with ASM and OCR?

I was trying to install 10g on Linux with ASM. The docs are not terribly clear on this, but I'd like to have the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) on one of my four ASM disks, rather than dedicate space to OCFS. I have 4 18.2 GB drives setup with ASM now. Is there a way to do this?
I guess the other thing I could do is to cut the ASM disks into two partitions. One, say 200MB and the other the rest. I'd put OCFS for OCR on the 200MB partition on one of the disks. The large partition on each of the rest of the disks would be dedicated to ASM.
What am I missing? I feel it must be something obvious. I'd rather have the OCR on the ASM, so that I don't have to deal with it...
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi.
There shouldn't be a problem with this provided you use a 32-bit OS on the 64 bit machine. RAC doesn't care about the chipset, so long as the same OS is used, but I don't thinkit will support one node on 32 bit and one on 64 bit, since they are actually separate distributions.
Of course, I've never tried it so I can't be sure :)
Cheers

Compare Linux with Solaris

We have tested the I/O performance on Intel-Solaris 7.0 and Intel-RedHat Linux.
We found that Intel-Linux has much better performance than Intel-Solaris.
Now, we are thinking to install Oracle 8i on Intel-Linux.
However, before we make this decision, we would like to hear more opinions about
the advantages and disadvantages of running Oracle on these two different
operating systems. We'll appreciate, if you can give me your opinions.
Thanks

This from experience of running large-db ecommerce site on intel linux with redhat 6.1, oracle 805 and 8i, with some java functions, intermedia, time-series module, 4 different servers on aolserver 2.33 and aolserver 3.0 on 1 machine: it's stable.
I never had a crash, and no locking or restarting due to either aolserver or oracle.
With a few minor modifications in linux to support some enterprise functions (raw devices, async io) linux on intel with oracle is almost ready to kick sun's ass. (at least on the 1 to 8 cpu server market)

JMenuBar display quirks with some window managers on Linux with Java 6

When I run this code on Windows with Java 5 or Java 6, it works fine.
When on Linux with Java 5, it works fine.
When on Linux with Java 6 in KDE, it works fine.
When on Linux with Java 6 with twm or e17, the JMenu shows when I click on the JMenuBar, but goes away as soon as I release the mouse button. If I manually move or resize the window, it then works fine.
If I remove setLocationByPlatform(true), the menu bar works, but it does not position the window by platform, which is the desired behavior.
Am I doing something wrong, is there something wrong with both twm and e17, or is this a bug?

In 10.1.3, there's an option to disable the splash screen on the Environment Page in preferences (although, of course, it's not much use if you never get to the main window because of the dialog popping up behind the splash screen... :) )
The bug with the dialog appearing behind the splashscreen is fixed in the upcoming 11g release. FWIW, it's a problem that appears to be unique to X-based systems, where for some reason the splashscreen window ends up with some super-ueber topmost property that forces all other windows to go behind it.
There's also a command line flag to suppress the splashscreen in 11g.
Thanks,
Brian

How to programmatically know Outlook has been fully loaded and opened with keyboard focus?

Is there a way to know programmatically that Outlook has been completely opened with keyboard focus (C#)?

You need to specify the parent window handle. I have already replied to your question, see Outlook

Linux with 16-bit DDR on ZYNQ

Hi,
I want to design a card with a Zynq 7010 but since space is limited, I wanted to put only 1 chip of DDR3 (4Gnit) x16-bit.
Are there any restrictions with running Linux with only x16-bit wide of DDR3? Could not find any documentation/forum about this, if someone else tried it.

Gnit is unknown to me, but using 16 bit DDR is not an issue at all. Nothing special at all todo xilinx flow takes care of everything, the linux as built will just work.
