Output for Linux

Hi all.
We have a new client who has a Linux environment and I was
just wondering what sort of output is best for this. Currently, we
use a .chm to provide context sensitive help for our application
but I believe that won't work for Linux people. Does that sound
right?
I realise that an alternative output will no longer be
context sensitive but it would still be nice to give them access to
the content.
Any suggestions would (as always) be greatly appreciated.
Regards

Hi Kathy,
I asked a similar question about a year ago, so here's my
take on the subject.
A .chm file is a proprietary Microsoft format so only works
under Windows. You can find programs that interpret .chm files on
other operating systems, but then you have to distribute the
interpreter program as well as the help, and I'm not sure how good
the results are.
WebHelp is the way to go for a Linux environment, although
there are a few oddities in the way it displays. Peter Grainge's
site has an excellent section about WebHelp in other browsers.
Here's
the link.
The main difference between .chm and WebHelp output is that
WebHelp is not compiled, so you have to supply the client with ALL
the output files, not just a single file.
Can't help with context sensitive help as I haven't used it,
but I'm sure somebody else can chime in with the necessary
information.
Good luck!

When I start LabVIEW after the obviously successfull Mass Compile I still see LabVIEW Version 8 (in contrast to Windows where I get 8.0.1).
Is it possible that the file bin/INSTALL.norpm is missing in the tar archive or that something else is broken? I am running Debian GNU/Linux Sarge.
Thanks in advance,

hello armin herzer,
did you download the LabVIEW 8.0.1 update and the "lv801-linux-norpm.tar.gz"?

Run C program compiled for Linux on Mac x11?

Hi,
Is it possible to run a c-code program compiled for Linux on x11? If this is not possible, is there a way to have a linux platform runninn os 10.6.8 so I can use these programs?
I knew little about Linux or X11, so I don't know if it is possible or how to recompile the program for x11.
Thanks!

Linux compile code will not run on Mac OS X, and even if you violated the Mac OS X license to run Mac OS X in virtual machine on top of Linux, the Mac environment would still not run the Linux program. The Linux program needs to run on Linux.
If your Linux program is X11 based, then it is possible to run the program on Linux and have the output displayed on your Mac. Start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session, and run the command
ssh -Y [email protected]
LinuxPrompt> run_your_Linux_program
The ssh -Y will establish an X11 DISPLAY tunnel between your Mac and the Linux system. When you run an X11 based app on the Linux system via this ssh session, the X11 display output will be sent back to the Mac.
NOTE: Many Open Source programs have Mac OS X ports. Sometimes there are actual Mac OS X binaries, and sometimes you have to build them yourself. There are also services that will do the heavy lifting of installing a ported Open Source app, such as MacPorts.org and FinkProject.org

ISE MAB is not Triggered for Linux Host

Hello,
We have configured MAB for hostst that do not support 802.1x, and in general working for most of the devices. For Some linux machines however, MAB is never triggered, i.e "debug mab all" and "debug radius" commands do not produce any output for the port. "show authentication session interface" command shows the 802.1x fail over to MAB, and after it MAB process starts to run but stays in running state without finishing.
If we put another MAB host as Windows 7 or XP or Printer, it works properly passsing tthe MAB Authentication and assigned Vlan. If we put the port as to the normal "switchport mode access" and "switchport access vlan x", the device shows up in the MAC address table of the switch, and starts to work.
As additional steps we have configured "authentication mode open" and "dot1x control-direction in" inorder to trigger or start the MAB Process allowing the packets out, but the "show interface " command the input packets counter remains 0, although output packet counters seem to increase continously to 1000 and above.
The IP Addresses are static, and it is a requirement, so dhcp may trigger MAB but this is not a choice currently.
IP device tracking is enabled, but again this did not change anything
Any recommendations or workarounds for this Problem? Although seems an endpoint issue, that it never produces a single packet , there may be some
solutions to trigger MAB or learn the switch the Mac address of the Linux host, i.e. keepalive. We are also looking at the host side,
The port configuration is:
switchport access vlan 98
switchport mode access
ip access-group ACL-ALLOW in
authentication event fail action next-method
authentication event server dead action reinitialize vlan 97
authentication event server alive action reinitialize
authentication host-mode multi-auth
authentication open
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
authentication periodic
authentication timer reauthenticate server
authentication violation restrict
mab
dot1x pae authenticator
dot1x timeout tx-period 10
spanning-tree portfast
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards,

Hi Ravi,
Since the linux is some kind of embedded linux, we could not get the tcp dump on the PC itself, but tried to see what is going on with a span of this port. What is interesting is that the machine does not produce even a single ethernet or IP packet and remains completely silent. (We thought dhcp would be solution but the configuration file only allows to statically assign IP address).
What we think is that somehow the machine starts to send packets after receiving a packet like Wake on LAN or arp. As you see on the port configuration the machine starts in Vlan 98, so in this Vlan it is not possible to get this packet from any other hosts on the same IP subnet since the IP of the host is Vlan 6. But in order to ISE to assign this Vlan 6 to the port with MAB, Mac Address of the host needs to be authenticated, which is not occuring because of the silence problem.
As a workaround to a similar problem, we changed the "switchport access vlan 98" to "switchport access vlan 6" and with this configuration the Mac address is learned and the host is authenticated by ISE and port is assigned to Vlan 6 dynamically which is observed on "show authentication session interface" command output. This is also not accepted because the access port configuration is required to be as standard as possible due to changing of the cabling frequently. So every MAB host should start with a PreAuthentication Vlan, and go to final Vlan after Authentication and authorizaiton with Posture checking or profiling.
As a second workaround these kind of machines are being worked on supporting dot1x, but this is a tedious process because often you need to escalate to the producer, and enhancement requests often prolong to be confirmed or denied.
Since we meet this problem also with some Printers, we think this is a problem of the TCP/IP Stack of the Operating System of the host. We are searching if there can be some mechanism to be able to make the host start conversation with a packet through a keepalive or some other protocol (or a script) that can be enabled.
Best Regards,

I had no idea how to write man pages so this start is a great help.
No, actually thank YOU. Is nice giving suggestions and being heard
SoleSoul wrote:It's a bit funny you call it lxmc player. I thought of it as a decoder first, and the player is a bonus. Because of that the player is so minimal. What are the features you miss the most when using lxmc? If there are any which are really important to you, you can ask them as feature requests and I may add them.
Heh, again, thank you. Sure, there are lots of things I can think, like changing the help that appear when typing just lxmc to be more unix-like, or when playing a song on lxmc, displaying on stderr the info of the mod. All this would be nice but in the end, they are just nice to have extras, you already did what I think was more importan Should I create feature request for them? I would certainly wont mind having them
But if you want an idea, I been thinking... since a mod is a series of sound samples and a "pattern" of how/when they should be played, it would be nice to be able to dump the sound samples to wav files and the pattern to a text file format. Now I'm aware that would be way more hard to implement, but if then was posible to reimport that text file with the samples (and they could be altered... or completly new) to a mod file... then you would have a text-based tracker creator. That would be so cool, a tracker creator using text files on all the unix tradition!
But again, I understand is way more easy to talk about it than actually create it.

SCEP 2012 System Center Monitoring Pack for Linux v4.5.10.1 Problem

Hi Everyone!
We are having a problem with OpsMgr 2012 R2 and the System Center Monitoring Pack for SCEP 2012 for Linux v4.5.10.1. We have successfully deployed the Linux OpsMgr 2012 R2 agent to our test CentOS 6.5 VM as well as SCEP 2012 v4.5.10.1. We have
imported the System Center Monitoring Pack for SCEP 2012 for Linux management packs into OpsMgr 2012 R2 which is successfully discovering SCEP on our Linux VM, but when looking at the details for the monitor, it indicates that SCEP is "not found"
as seen in the following screen shot...
As seen in the following screen shots, everything else seems to be installed, configured, and working properly...
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
JJ

Magnus_001 (big ups) and I were able to get discovery to stop failing on the Linux side of things, but the SCOM MP is still highly problematic. Their pdf guides for SCEP implementation on Linux has a bunch of typos and errors -- for example, listing
'/bin/sh' instead of '/bin/bash', and one of the lines (the one that includes "export LANG=C" won't run no matter what. When we disassembled the SCOM MP, we found that there's an extraneous space at the end of the command, current thought is
that that's causing a regex to fail within sudo. All of their commands, from what I can tell, need to be specified as NOPASSWD within sudo; if you see errors about ssh-askpass with that you can confirm that there are likely typos in their guide sourced
from the pdf. We eventually allowed '/bin/bash' to get the programs to run since we couldn't get a regex match to catch their command (which should be in a script). We are out of failures that we can discover with logging on the Linux side; it's
likely to be an error within the MP at this point.
When we look at the powershell script in the MP library, the "not found" error is the default state, set immediately after stdout is captured from the discovery script. I'm guessing that there's some problem interaction between that script
and the parsing thereof, as when we run the script locally as root we see the output that we'd expect. For all I know that's a line ending or locale problem.
Troubleshooting on the linux end is problematic, as instead of distributing a script to check on the linux side (which makes the sudo part of things much easier), the script is hard-coded within the MP. From what I understand it would need to be disassembled
and recompiled to change.
The snippet below may be of use to someone for use in their sudoers file, it will make the checks work on the linux side at least. I wouldn't recommend this for anything beyond testing, as specifying that an account can run a full bash shell as root
without a password is a terrible idea.
#replace scomactionaccount with whatever your scom action account is called
User_Alias SCOM = scomactionaccount
Runas_Alias SCOM = root
SCOM ALL = (SCOM) NOPASSWD: /opt/microsoft/scx/bin/scxlogfilereader -p
SCOM ALL = (SCOM) NOPASSWD: /bin/bash

Instrument Driver VI's for Linux

Does anyone know if there are already written VI's which use the comedi
suite for data acquisition? Preferrably ones very similiar to the windows
based NIDAQ (like the Configure, Read Data, Write Data, etc) but I imagine
there will be some differences? If not, I'm ready to start making the suite
of these.
Thanks,
Caleb

Caleb:
I am working in the same that you and I saw your questions in the comedi list
and I am trying the same. I work with the PCI-6025 and I saw that you are
working with the PCI-6023 but the installation is the same. Furthemore I have
installed the driver edaq-0.9.5 of National Instrument but the analog output is
not supported.
Now I have some problems with the installation of Comedi in Debian 2.2 but I
will resolve this problem and then I will begin to make the vi's with comedi
inside, I think that we can help us.

VXI support under LabVIEW for Linux

A potential client contacted me regarding a small project using VXI hardware under Linux. I'm considering using LabVIEW for Linux but I'm not too clear on NI's VXI driver support and whether they have a VI library for the particular hardware. I contacted NI tech support over the phone but they didn't have any answers. BTW, I've used LV with PCI and ISA DAQ boards under Windows and Linux but I've never used VXI.
Here is the hardware in question:
PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026) - PCI to VXI bridge
VXI-AO-48XDC - 48 channel analog output board
VXI-MIO-64XE-10 - multifunction DAQ board
Anyone know what's involved in building a LV app for this system under Linux, i.e. what's NI's HW driver and LabVIEW support?

Kevin,
National Instruments has NI-VXI for Linux. The driver provides support for the PCI/VXI-MXI-2(8026), and VXI embedded Controllers. The NI-VXI driver also provides the programming API that will allow you to communicate with the VXI boards in your system.
You can find a KnowledgeBase that shows what versions of Linux are currently supported by NI-VXI here.
If you have never used VXI before I should note that it is different from using a PCI DAQ card. You might want to read this here which will explain a little about VXI.
The LabVIEW for Linux system requirements can be found here. I should note that LabVIEW will work on the 2.6 kernel, however since you are looking at NI-VXI you will need to use the 2.4 kernel anyway.
Hopefully this answers your question, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask!

Ptg10220patch.zip for linux

Is there a ptg uppgrade for Linux (RH 6.2)
When will it be released?

Developer Team:
Just want to report that IBM JDK 1.1.8 'seems' work fine in Linux with sqlj.
I tried : %sqlj -version
and it gives me the version:
"Oracle SQLJ Release 8.1.6.0.0 Production"
I also tried to compile some sqlj files. It does compile and gives several files as output.
One problem I don't understand. When I tried to set the CLASSPATH to seek for "translator.zip" under $ORACLE_HOME/sqlj/lib, the system complains:
"/usr/oracle/sqlj/lib/translator.zip: Permission denied"
This is STRANGE. It can't load the CLASSPATH to the translator.zip, but sqlj does the compiling for the ".sql" files. Is this behavior OK? Should I just ignore it?
PS. About the permission denied problem, I tried to change the permission using chmod. Still doesn't work.
PPS. Facts about the system being discussed:
Oracle8i 8.1.6 release 2
Linux Redhat 7
Thanks.

What is the difference between 11i for LInux (VS) 11i for Windows

Hi,
I have downloaded 11i E-Business suit for Windows and
Installed it successfuly.
I am having problem with windows plateform regarding listner, connection manager, service host, rpc all these stopping/terminating by itself and system rebooting.
I would like to install 11i on Linux.
Q1. Which files I need to download again?
Q2. Is there any script I need to run for LInux?
I have run adautostg.pl and it hasnot given me any error for start cd but when it came to appl_top it said as "This is for windows, continue any way" and I said yes. so it made stage.
I can't run setup as user Oracle as it is not allowed to write on disk, can u also give me suggestion about that?
I am installing 11i on single node.
Q3. I can use the same files of windows for linux as
I saw some .sh shell commands and
startcd/rapidwiz/adautostg.pl is also used in
unix/linux.
Warm Regards,
Rashid.

I have run installation of 11i for windows on Linux plateform and now I would like to share it with u all.
1. I run adautostg.pl by using command $perl adautostg.pl and it has staged all the startcd disks without any error.
2. when it came to other cdies it has prompted me as "this file if for windows; continue any way" and I pressed ok and it has staged all the files without any furthur error.
3. After it, I have made the necessary adjustments to run rapidwiz command and it run successfully. Now it has copied all the 113 files successfuly.It has run adrun9i.sh and is giving me error on process 5. (at 20% of installation) that it cannot run files

strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

Press Release
ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
number one
choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
for Oracle
on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
business markets.
Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
Linux, after a
successful early adopter's program.
Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
over 50,000
downloads from Oracle Technology Network
(http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
registrants
for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
community,
Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
excess of 800
paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
enterprise accounts
and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
organizations.
"Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
had to rely on
NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
Linux," says
Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
company providing
customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
web hosting
and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
security,
performance, manageability or reliability required by our
customers. Oracle
brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
a result,
we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 100
enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
the addition
of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
"Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
scalability and
performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
system," says
Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
e-commerce
service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
members'
needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
"Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
community,"
says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
at Oracle.
"Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
Together they
offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
applications."
Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
the
Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
leadership in
the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
warehousing to
the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of
Oracle's
Internet Platform, which also includes Oracle Application Server
and Oracle's
Internet development tools.
Oracle Corporation is the world's leading supplier of software
for information
management, and the world's second largest software company.
With annual
revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.
