I will try the Pentium-M Patch.
For my 6800 i am using nvclock (works fine) but thanks for the tipp.
hi, I got a nvidia 6800 go (laptop)
I don't use nvclock, I use the nvidia-settings (you can do it if you read how to tweak nvidia's drivers)

Surround Test Tool for Linux?

Hello,
since I changed to Linux some years ago, my surround 5.1 Sound isn't working. Atm it seems that only the left front channel is used. I had a look into alsamixer but it's hard to judge which channel is or is not working. Under windows there was a little tool for my soundcard (Realtek ALC650F) which played a sound on every channel one after another - it was easy that way to check which channels were working. Is there something comparable for Linux?
Thank you

Know of an uzip tool for Linux

Can anyone recommend a zip tool on Linux that is guaranteed to decompress zip
files downloaded from java.sun.com (notably the J2SE docs)?
This is in reply to the following javadoc forum question:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=41&thread=370653&tstart=0&trange=30

Being a java forum it only seems reasonable to mention that jar will unzip a .zip file. .zip and .jar formats are (or at least started out to be) identical.

Webinar Tool for Linux Host

I need to give a webinar in a few hours. I need to demo a website for a new
client and he asked for a webinar. To be honest I have never been
involved in a webinar--neither as host nor participant. He suggested
GoToMeeting but that requires Mac or Windows apparently.
Anybody know what tool I could use for this? Not sure what he has but
it ain't Linux, that's for sure. Actually I am pretty sure he has Windows.

My online school uses Elluminate for their webinars, and it works quite well with Linux as long as you have Sun's version of Java installed. Very few issues with it overall.

Development tools for Linux

Hi tmx,
You can connect your PlayBook to Linux with both USB and Wifi.
The trick is to access it like a network device both ways.
USB method:
1. Plug in the PlayBook to your system and make sure that file sharing is set to 'Mac'.
2. In the network icon you should see a new connection appear. If not, click on the icon and look at connection information.
3. You should have a USB network device with an IP address of something like 169.128.123.123. Make a note of this number, and subtract 1 from the final 3 numbers for the next step.
4. Open your home folder (Nautilus) and in the location bar type in smb://169.128.123.122 - based on your address that you wrote down in the last step. You have to subtract 1 to connect to the PlayBook like I did in my example.
5. You should see the PlayBook appear as a 'Windows share', in there is the 'media' folder. Double-click and the PlayBook will be mounted as a network disk.
I know it's a bit fiddly, but once you've done it a few times it's really simple. I've been meaning to write a script to automate this... When I eventually get around to this I'll post it here
1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!

StorEdge monitoring tool for linux

Hello,
I have StorEdge 3310 SCSI array. Is there any way to monitor it from Linux? The best would be CLI interface.
Best Regards
Maciej Bogucki

Maciej,
I suggest you also glance at another storage-related Sun forum.
There is a link to it at:
http://forum.sun.com/index.jspa
... near the bottom of that page.
My perception is that very few of the participants in these HARDWARE forums are using Linux in there daily administration of their Sun storage products.
The postings here are more for issues with the hardware pieces of equipment and not necessarily for whatever software may be used.

Pls help me to find admin tool for latest bi linux version

Hello,
Oracle Business Intelligence, v. 11.1.1.5.0
I installed the latest version of OBIEE of linux version 64 bit on the server.
Installation went fine.
Now the only problem is finding Admin tool.
Could u pls tell me where its sitting.
I know i Windows it Admintool.exe
Thanks

Hi user,
Firstly you wont have admin tool for linux environment....you need to install the client on windows local machine and access the BI server of linux by setting up a connection.
So you need to download 64-bit or 32-bit windows one to install http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-enterprise-edition/downloads/biee-111150-393613.html
Read this document :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e10539/c5_postinstall.htm#CEGEHEJF
hope answered your question.

Using JCOP tools under Linux

Hello.
I looked through the older web sites of IBM regarding the usage of JCOP tools under Linux.
I am interested in following questions:
1. Is there any separate distributon version of JCOP tools for Linux?
2. Can sample JCOP tools 3.1.2 plugin (for Windows) be used under Linux. What has to be modified? Also what additional tools have to be installed an used for communication with real cards through PC/SC readers.
3. Is JCOP simulation option available under Linux?
I'll appreciate any help.
Best regards,
newbie

Overview
The current JCOP Tools release now also offer a version for the popular Linux
operating system. Both the Windows and Linux verson provide more or less the same
functionality, and JCOP application development can thus fully succeed on Linux systems.
Nevertheless, installation of the JCOP Tools differ between Windows and Linux
where the Linux version does not provide a simple installer as in case of Windows.
Additionally, the Linux version expects a properly setup Muscle PCSC installation
as soon as you want to use them together with physical, real cards. As Muscle
PCSC is still not shipped with most Linux distributions, you must download and
install them separately from the JCOP Tools.

Software Requirements
Linux distribution
The JCOP Tools simulation has been developed on a Fedora Core 6 system, but should also work in case of
many other recent Linux distributions.
Java Development Kit
The JCOP Tools have been developed and tested with the Sun JDK 1.4.2_13-b06
for Linux. Your success with other Development Kits may vary as there are
partly subtle differences across the different devlopment kits.
PCSC
The JCOP Tools use PCSC to talk with real cards on Linux. Most distributions
do not ship with Linux PCSC by default (Fedora Core 6 does), you must thus download it fromhttp://www.linuxnet.com
and install it by yourself. If you are used to software installation under Linux,
and are not afraid of compiling and installing software packages, this should
not be a hard problem. You have to download both the base PCSC package
(including PCSC daemon and client libraries) and separately the driver
for the reader you want to use. The PCSC package contains a test program
which should tell you whether your installation is set up correctly and
communicating with a card works. The JCOP Tools have been reported to
work together with Muscle PCSC version 1.3.1-7.
JPCSC
The JCOP Tools are shipped with JPCSC which you can also download athttp://www.linuxnet.com. JPCSC
is a JNI library which offers Java applications the access to PC/SC functions
by mapping their requests to an underlying native PC/SC implementation. The JCOP
Tools - mostly written in Java - thus depend on JPCSC to communicate with real cards
on Linux. JPCSC depends on a properly installed and setup PC/SC environment.
Especially, the JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH should list the directories where the
PC/SC client libraries and the native JPCSC library libjpcsc.so ( downloadable as binary from
Windows Binary Download Here )
are installed, the CLASSPATH variable should list th___
Miscellaneous
What should work
As soon as you setup your system correctly, there should only be minor differences
between using JCOP Tools on Windows or on Linux. Emulating a real JCOP,
debugging, shell, cap-file conersion should all be possible as in case of Windows.
What is missing
No drivers or tools are currently available for using JCOP30's in contactless
mode. If you need such support, please contact directly NXP
at for further assistance.

LightScribe for Linux!!!

Finally!!!
LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux is simple and intuitive, allowing users to burn customized images on to LightScribe discs in three easy steps: import, resize, print. K3b Founder Sebastian Trueg said, "We're happy to see that LaCie is developing tools for Linux users, and are pleased to work with them to make it happen. With the LaCie LightScribe Labeler for Linux, K3b users now have access to the latest disc-labeling technology from LightScribe, and a complete burning solution thanks to LaCie."

UPDATE: There is a package request already. I didn't notice it when posted, should I remove this topic?

Use rpmextract to extract the files from the rpm. Then, it's just a question of installing the files in the correct place (in $startdir/pkg), i.e. binaries in /usr/bin, libraries in /usr/lib, etc.

MII Migration tool for server installed in Linux

I am planning to migrate few files from xMII 11.5 to 12.0. I searched in market place to download the migration tool(service.sap.com -> SAP Support Portal -> Downloads -> SAP Installations & Upgrades -> Search for Installations and Upgrades.
Entered XMII MIGRATION TOOL in the search field) which can be used from my windows laptop. But, its not available.
I also searched for the components which can be deployed in Netweaver to obtain the migration tool(service.sap.com -> SAP Support Portal -> Downloads ->Entry by application group->Support Packages and Patches...SAP xApps...SAP XMII...SAP XMII...SAP XMII 12.0...XMII MIGRATION TOOL 1.0). But, these components are only available for Windows server.
Let me know whether this is because of authorizations/permissions of my id. Is there a place where I can download either the migration tool or the components for linux?

The Migration Tool is a windows only application - so are the files from your 11.5 system for that matter
You'll need to download the tool, run either the SDM or JSPM tool of NetWeaver to extract the zip file from inside the SCA file. This zip file can then be extracted onto your laptop where the java app can run to take the desired 11.5 source files and migrate them into your 12.0 server via http.

Backpac: A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux

backpac:
A package state snapshot and restore tool for Arch Linux with config file save/restore support.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=52957
https://github.com/altercation/backpac (see readme on the github repository for more information)
Summary & Features
It's a common method of setting up a single system: take some notes about what packages you've installed, what files you've modified.
Backpac creates those notes for you and helps back up important configuration files. Specifically, backpac does the following:
maintains a list of installed groups (based on 80% of group packages being installed)
maintains a list of packages (including official and aur packages, listed separately)
maintains a list of files (manually created)
backs up key config files as detailed in the files list you create
The package, group and files lists along with the snapshot config files allows system state to be easily committed to version control such as git.
Backpac can also use these lists to install packages and files. Essentially, then, backpac takes a snapshot of your system and can recreate that state from the files and lists it archives.
Use Cases
Ongoing system state backup to github
Quick install of new system from existing backpac config
Conform current system to given state in backpac config
Backpac is a very, very lightweight way of saving and restoring system state.
It's not intended for rolling out and maintaining multiple similar systems, it's designed to assist individual users in the maintainance of their own Arch Linux box.
Status
Alpha, release for testing among those interested. Passing all tests right now but will continue to rework and refine. Bug reports needed.
Why?
There are a lot of 'big-iron' solutions to maintaining, backing up and restoring system state. Setting these up for a single system or a handful of personal systems has always seemed like overkill.
There are also some existing pacman list making utilities around, but most of them seem to list either all packages or don't separate the official and aur packages the way I wanted. Some detect group install state, some don't. I wanted all these features in backpac.
Finally, whatever tool I use, I'd like it to be simple (c.f. the Arch Way). Lists that are produced should be human readable, human maintainable and not different from what I'm using in non-automated form. Backpac fulfills these requirements.
Regarding files, I wanted to be able to backup arbitrary system files to a git repository. Tools like etckeeper are interesting but non /etc files in that case aren't backed up (without some link trickery) and there isn't any automatic integration with pacman, so there is no current advantage to using a tool like that. I also like making an explicit list of files to snapshot.
Sample Output
This is the command line report. Additionally, backpac saves this information to the backpac groups, packages and files lists and the files snapshot directory.
$ backpac -Qf
backpac
(-b) Backups ON; Files will be saved in place with backup suffix.
-f Force mode ON; No prompts presented (CAUTION).

That's a good idea. I'll add that to my AUR refactoring todo.
I also found directory tracking to be a weakness in other dotfile managers that I tried. I think you would definitely have to recursively list out the contents of a tracked directory and deal with each file individually. Wildcard support would be nice...I just haven't personally found a use case for it yet.
I've been thinking that I could just add the directory and scan through it for any non-default attribute files. If those are found then they get automatically added to the files list. That's pretty close to what etckeeper does.
Edit: I just compiled the dev version and removed my comments for already fixed things...sorry!
The master branch should have those fixes as well, but I didn't update the version number in the package build. I'll have to do that.
1. Still apparently didn't handle the escaped space for this item: (the file does exist on my system)
Ok, good to know. This wildcard directory business will require some new code and refactoring so I'll also rework my filenames handling.
2. Suggestion: you should make that awesome README into a man page!
I was working on one (the pkgbuild has a commented out line for the man page) but I had to leave it for later. Definitely want a man page. Once this stabilizes and I'm sure there aren't any big structural changes, I'll convert it to man format.
3. Suggestion: add the word 'dotfile' into your description somewhere on this page, the github page, and in the package description so people looking for dotfile managers will find it. You could also consider modularizing the script into a dotfile manager and the package manager, so people on other distros could take advantage of your dotfile management scheme.
I actually have a different script for dotfile management that doesn't touch packages, but there is definitely overlap with this one. That script isn't released yet, though, and if people find this useful for dotfile management that's great. I'll add that in.
4. Suggestion: since -Q is a read-only operation, why not just make it run with -f automatically to avoid the prompt?
Originally, running backpac without any command line options produced the Query output. I was concerned that since it is a utility that can potentially overwrite system files, it is important to give users a clear statement prior to execution about what will be done. Since the Query output is essentially the same as the Update and System reports in format and content, I wanted to be explicit about the Query being a passive no-change operation. The current command line options aren't set in stone though. If you feel strongly about it being different, let me know.
Long answer to a short question
5. Another suggestion: any thought to providing some sort of 'scrub' function to remove private information from the stored files if desired? This would be cool for publishing public dotfiles to github. Perhaps a credentials file (I did this with python for my own configs). Probably detecting email addresses and passwords without a scrub file would be rather difficult because dotfiles come in so many flavors.
Yes, absolutely. In fact, if you look at the lib/local file (pretty sure it's in both master and dev branches in this state) you'll see some references to a sanitize function. The idea there is that the user will list out bash associative arrays like this:
SANITIZE_WPA_=(
[FILE]='/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf'
[CMD]='sed s/expungepattern/sanitizedoutput/g'
Question: am I missing an obvious option to remove a file from the files.d directory if I delete it from the files list? Or do I have to delete it manually? It might be helpful to add a section to the README on how to update and delete dotfiles from being tracked, and also a more detailed description of what the -b option does (and what is actually created when it's not used).
You are only missing the function I didn't finish. There should be either dummy code or a TODO in the backpac main script referencing garbage collection, which isn't difficult but I just haven't finished it. The idea being another loop of "hey I found these old files in your files.d, mind if I delete them?" It's on my list and I'll try to get it in asap.
And finally, just out of curiosity, why did you choose to actually copy the files instead of symlink like so many other dotfile managers do?
git not following symlinks, hardlinks also out for permissions issues (git wouldn't be able to read the files, change them, etc.)
I definitely would prefer to not make an entire copy of the file, but I haven't come up with a better option. Shout with ideas, though. Also, if there is a way around the link issues I noted above, let me know. I don't see one but that doesn't mean it's not there.
edit: I think a Seattle area Arch meetup would be cool! Perhaps coffee someplace? Bellevue? U-district? Anyone else? BYOPOL (bring your own pimped out laptop)
A general meetup sounds good. I was also thinking it would be fun to do a mini archcon with some demos.
