Questions before I install Arch64...

I have read up on what programs work in 64-bit and what doesn't, etc. I plan on doing a chroot solution for 32-bit apps I want. These are the programs:
Wine
Zsnes
PSX
...there was another one, but I just lost my train of thought...
[EDIT] OpenOffice! [/EDIT]
Anyway, these will work fine in a 32-bit chroot? I've never 'chroot'ed before.
What about hardware? I heard some wireless cards and nvidia cards have trouble.
I have:
nVidia GeForce 8300GS 128MB
TP-Link TL-WN651G 32-bit PCI wireless adapter w/ atheros AR5212 chipset
Does anyone know if these are supported? What about the 32-bit PCI? Is that problematic? (I don't know too much about 32-bit vs. 64-bit)

Everything will work with a little care without a chroot environment. That's where all the lib32 stuff from community, or the bin32 stuff from AUR, come in. I have Skype, Flash, and Lightscribe working on this box without chroot. My current 32 bit bit setup is this:

  • Some questions before I install Awesome WM

    Hi,
    I'm new to Arch and relatively new to Linux in general but I do enjoy tinkering with it.
    Recently I have tried many different window managers, Gnome, KDE, Openbox and Fluxbox, each of which have their own little perks. However whilst browsing through the monthly screen shot threads I stumbled upon something new, something I haven't heard of; tiling window managers. I find the idea behind them to be innovative and would like to give them a try, particularly Awesome WM, before I do so I have a few questions outlined below.
    1). I understand that a mouse is not needed, which can be a good thing but an obstacle as well depending on what I want to do. What I would like to ask is that can you keep the mouse functionality as well such as the cursor, left click, right click and possibly the scroll wheel? (Is this possible in both Xmonad and Awesome WM)
    2). Can you have a panel so that you can either easily launch your applications or when you minimize say pidgin you can see its status icon?
    3). Most of the screen shots I have seen show all these terminal windows running, I assume thats just for show. You can run gui based aps too such as something for burning cds, openoffice, firefox and other gtk aps?
    4). If neither apply to Awesome WM, could you point me in the direction of a tiling window manager more tailored for my needs.
    Please only leave helpful comments, I don't want to hear comments such as why do you want to use Awesome WM if your planning on running gui aps or don't want to run their terminal alternatives....Linux is about choice and I am entitled to my own as are you.
    If you can help that would be "awesome".
    PS: Please excuse the rather verbose post; its a problem of mine, hopefully one you come to find endearing.

What I intended to ask was whether you could use the mouse like you use it in other environments such as Gnome...where moving the mouse would move a cursor on your screen, left click would be used to select a window, move it around...etc.
    Well I said "Yes." . The mouse behaves exactly like in other WMs and additionally you can add other functionality if you like. "Moving windows" is a little different in tiling window managers because windows aren't supposed to be moved around with the mouse, because the WM arranges them for you. However, in most tiling WMs, windows can have a special state named "floating", which means the WM isn't responsible how the window is placed on the screen and you can move it around freely (with the mouse). This is for example useful for applications like mplayer, vlc, gimp or gajim.
    Brilliant; thanks for the clarification, I just hope nothing extra is required to obtain this functionality. Well if anything else is required that wont be a problem considering how good the Linux community is.
    Thanks again
    PS: There is a slight drawback to using Awesome WM though; whenever you google something about awesome wm you get results about people stating how awesome their window managers are, not specifically awesome wm lol. Everything comes at a price.
    Nothing extra is required....just already preconfigured keystrokes do the job.

  • Questions before I install Arch

    Hi everyone. I decide to try Arch after using Ubuntu for almost a year. After reading the installing guide, I find the wireless network is the big problem. I am using wireless, and I can easily get connected with it by wicd. But installing Arch needs a wireless under command line, so I try that in terminal:
    # ifconfig wlan0 up
    # iwlist wlan0 scan       ( and I see my target wireless network is there)
    # iwconfig wlan0 essid "My_Network" key 0123456789
    # dhclient wlan0
    But it did not work. What I was sure was I managed to connect to this network with this key in Ubuntu Network Manager, or wicd, if using GUI. I later searched for this problem and it seemed that iwconfig recognized the key as hex by default. If using ascii, it should be:
    # iwconfig wlan0 essid "My_Network" key s:0123456789
    But even that I failed too. So I am just wondering how to get a hex key out of it? Is there any algorithm for this...?
    I have downloaded the core version of Arch. But I am wondering if I need the internet by installing X windows and fluxbox, using pacman... If not, I can go directly with it and grab a GUI network manage like wicd and I will have no problems.
    Thank you very much.

    Does it post the same error? Try messing about with the different combinations of quotation marks taking them off both the key and network name, and then try with them on both the key and the network name.
    iwconfig wlan0 essid "My_Network" key "0123456789"
    iwconfig wlan0 essid My_Network key 0123456789

  • I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.

    I asked this question before but I can't find it now. Anyway, I'm trying to import a DVD video that was made on a MAC and use it on a new iMovie project.
    How do I do the importing.

    If the video is already on a DVD:
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A/quicktime-mpeg-2-playback-component-f or-mac-os-x
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    And from the TOU of these forums:
    Keep within the Law
    No material may be submitted that is intended to promote or commit an illegal act.
    Do not submit software or descriptions of processes that break or otherwise ‘work around’ digital rights management software or hardware. This includes conversations about ‘ripping’ DVDs or working around FairPlay software used on the iTunes Store.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it. See this:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3381
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • Do you have to create SPN before you install Sharepoint 2013 Server?

    Hello Community
        After installing WS2012 and Sharepoint 2013 Server on it, I
    created SPN's for the SQL Server and domain user.
        While creating the web application I ran across some information
    that says if you use Kerberos Authentication you have to setup the SPN's
    in AD DS before you install Sharepoint 2013 Server.
        That doesn't make sense to me because it might be possible that
    SPN's may be needed to be created throughout the lifetime of the
    Sharepoint farm which could be forever.
        So the question is, is it true that you can only use Kerberos
    Authentication if you created the SPN's in AD DS first?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    You can create it after-the-fact, you just may have access issues until it is created and the user account running the pool is logged off and back on again. Right, it has nothing to do with the installation status of SharePoint.

  • Questions before I SWITCH to Mac...

    Few questions before I switch to Mac (hoepfully when Leopard comes out)....
    Currently I have a Dell XPS Media Center PC and a Vista laptop.
    1. TV/DVR CAPABILITIES: I love using my PC as a tv tuner & DVR. Does mac have this capability? If I run Vista on the Mac will my Media Center, TV tuner, etc... run the same?
    2. PDA SYNC: Will the Mac sync calendar & contat items with my Windows based PDA?
    3. WEB DEVELOPMENT: I am a ASP.NET developer. Can I do this on a mac easily? If I have to use Windows on the mac to do this, can anyone speak on the performace?
    4. SHARING FILES BETWEEN OS & COMPUTERS: Can I share files with other XP or Vista pcs I have in the house? Can I share files between the Mac and Vista OS on the SAME machine?
    5. DUAL MONITORS: Does the MacBook Pro or iMac support DUAL monitors?
    6. CS3 QUESTIONS: I'm thinking about purchasing Photoshop CS3, Flash CS3, etc... Can I install them onto the Mac side and the Vista side of the same machine?
    Thanks! I was a PC lover, but now I'm turning into a MAC LOVER!!!!
    Thanks everyone!!!

    1. No way to tell. You'd have to install the card and the drivers too see if they work.
    2. http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
    3. You'd have to install Windows if you want to develop for .Net
    4. Yes and yes
    5. Yes
    6. You'd need to buy both Mac an PC versions of CS3

  • HT5639 Do I need to uninstall boot camp 4 before I install and update to boot camp 5. I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed. Do I need to unistall boot camp 4 or not necessary?

    I already have windows 8 pro with boot camp 4 installed on my macair book 11". I have searched the entire articles on how to upgrade boot camp 4 to boot camp 5 but have found no answer as to my question: Do you have to uninstall boot camp 4 drivers before you install boot camp 5? I am not sure if it is ok to install boot camp 5 directly without uninstalling boot camp 4 because there might be driver version conflict. So I have not installed boot camp 5. Is it ok to install boot camp 5 withoust uninstalling boot camp 4? Your answers will be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier

  • Before I install MX922, do I need to uninstall drivers for MP800 first?

    My MP800 is out after many years of service due Error Code 6500. Before I install MX922, do I need to uninstall drivers for MP800? Or just install MX922 as normal? Running OS X 10.10 Yosemite on Mac mini. I want my scanned images done by MP800 to remain on my mac of course. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi pmt513,
    You don't have to uninstall the drivers for the PIXMA MP800 prior to installing the PIXMA MX922; however, if you would like to, you can reset the printer system on your Mac to uninstall the drivers without removing the scanned images.  To do this, please follow these steps:
    1. Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners.
    2. Hold down the Control key as you click in the list at the left, then choose “Reset printing system” from the menu that appears. After you reset the printing system, the list of printers in Printers & Scanners preferences should be empty. If your printer is still listed on the left select your printer and then click the minus (-) button to delete it.
    3. Restart your Mac.
    You can now install the drivers for the PIXMA MX922.
    Hope this helps!

  • Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX?

    Hi, guys:
    I have a question: Do I have to make Oracle XE listener working before I install Oracle APEX 4.2? I have installed Oracle XE 11g on windows 7, however, I got problem to run Oracle XE listener, though Oracle XE itself is running. Since my purpose is to run Oracle APEX I was wondering if I have to make Oracle XE listener working at first.
    Thanks for your comments!
    Sam

    Hi, Jarola:
    Thanks for your help! My supervisor asked us to install Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener in our local PC (windows 7 64 bits). I guess his purpose is to train us to install APEX 4.2 eventually. I installed OC4J and APEX listener before without much problem; but I have difficulty to install Oracle XE on windows 7 64 bits version as so far Oracle XE only supports 32 bits windows. after I installed Oracle XE, I got these problems:
    #1 the Oracle XE itself is running, but XE listener cannot work, it always reports "the Oracle OracleXETNSListener service started and then stopped, some service stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs.",
    #2 It looks Oracle_home of XE conflicts with that of OC4J. I tried to set ORACLE_HOME as "C:\OC4J\oc4j_extended_101350;C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\11.2.0\server", but OC4J cannot find config file so I cannot start OC4J. it is messed up.
    #3 most of all, I was wondering if you could tell me the relationship among Oracle XE, OC4J, and APEX listener regarding installing APEX 4.2, are they all necessary to install APEX 4.2? if so, could you guide me to install these things with proper steps (say, which one should be installed first?)? any of your suggestion would be very appreciated! (I have tried two weeks without progress...)

  • Questions before I buy Time Capsule

    Hi All
    I hope you can please help with my questions before I go and buy a time capsule. I currently have a 5 month old 2.4ghz mbp and a PC running Vista. The PC is connected via ethernet to a billion 7402GL and the mbp connects via wireless. I was going to buy an external hard drive to store data and I thought I might try the time capsule as it will be networked.
    I am not 100% sure I know how time capsule works so any info would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to work out the setup in my head I have had a read through these forums but I thought I would ask specific questions in relation to my setup.
    When I connect the time capsule to the billion can I still use the billion for wireless or do I have to use the time capsule? Also do I connect the TC to the Billion using ethernet or wireless? I want the mbp to access the data on the TC via wireless and the pc via ethernet. I will be getting an imac once I sell my pc so that will also need to connect to TC. I will mainly use the TC for storing data but I might start using time machine as well. Is it possible for a ps3 to access TC?
    I will be attaching a printer to it so I would want to be able to print from any computer that connects to the network.
    What would be the best setup? Any help and suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    If you already have a working wired/wireless network, and a spare ethernet port on your router, just connect the TC to the router with an ethernet cable. Turn off the TC's wireless, and it'll work fine.
    No need to change any of your connections, you can carry on using your existing router.
    Printing will work fine from any computer connected to your router (or to the TC, if you wish), but the printer driver needs to be installed on each computer, and the printer has to be one that works with the TC.
    I don't think that there's a way of using the TC as a server with a PS3. The PS3 needs to see a DLNA server - I don't think that there's any way to get this running directly on a TC.
    You can get a Mac to run as a DLNA server (application called "MediaLink"), and it might be possible to get the Mac to link to the TC. This way, you could access the TC from the PS3, but the Mac would have to be switched on for it to work.

  • A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE MY MBP ARRIVES

    Hi,
    I finally ordered my Mac yesterday. It's obviously a MacBook Pro and I have a few questions before it arrives.
    First of all, I want to install Boot Camp, and to do so, I must have the latest firmware. How do I find out if I have the latest firmware?
    Also, how much hardrive should I give Windows? I was thinking 80GB = MAC OSX, 20GB = WINDOWS XP.
    Obviously my last question, since I plan on only using Windows for games, how does it play? I have read a few reviews and some benchmarks but all the results are different. I also like to know if it would be worth clocking the GPU back to stock speed since it's obviously underclocked.

    This document and embedded links will explain the firmware issues, latest updates, etc. Since each model of the Intel Mac is slightly different, not all firmware updates are the same. Review the document and then check what update version you have on the computer when it arrives. Go to: Apple menu, select “About this Mac/More info… and look at “Boot ROM version.
    Anyway, this is what I can offer since I don’t use Boot Camp although I would recommend that your use your new Mac for a while before installing it. By doing so, you can validate your system’s integrity.

  • Few Questions Before I Buy!

    I want to buy this laptop in future for university but have a few questions before hand. Can you change the video card like on a regular computer or is that not on option? When I buy the laptop it comes with the current OSX, but when Leopard comes out how much will it cost to upgrade or is it free? Which Ram memory is suggested for installing after purchase? And finaly, Does BootCamp run effectively on this Machine. Thanks in Advanced.

    Can you change the video card like on a regular computer or is that not on option?
    The GPU cannot be changed.
    When I buy the laptop it comes with the current OSX, but when Leopard comes out how much will it cost to upgrade or is it free?
    The cost to upgrade has been $US129 in the past. Whether it stays the same for Leopard is unknown although it shouldn't be too different to that.
    Which Ram memory is suggested for installing after purchase?
    For simplicity you might want to think about buying the RAM from Apple. However, if you want to go 3rd party there's aplenty of choices such as Crucial, Kingston, Samsung etc. Just be sure to buy RAM that has been explicitly tested in an MBP (it'll say so).
    And finaly, Does BootCamp run effectively on this Machine.
    Very.

  • Questions Before I Spend Money

    Hello all,
    I'm thinking of buying a Mac Pro to replace this Windows box I have, but I have a few questions before I spend the money that aren't answered in the literature for the machine:
    1. A second DVD burner is a $100 option (a rip off for a burner) so I'm thinking about adding my own. From what I've read here it seems you can do it, but I'm wondering, can I use a regular DVD burner (I have a few NEC burners I ordered from Newegg laying around - IDE of course) as a second drive? Do I have to do anything weird when mounting it due to the way the case is in the Mac Pro?
    2. If I add a second DVD burner as I described above and a few SATA 150 drives I have laying around, do these void the warranty or my AppleCare?
    3. Are there any serious issues with the Pros, like there was with iMac G5s overheating, MacBook Pro batteries blowing up, etc.?

    are provided. The Sony DW-D150A that is provided is
    really a clone of the NEC ND-4570A. See details

    2. If I add a second DVD burner as I described
    above
    and a few SATA 150 drives I have laying around, do
    these void the warranty or my AppleCare?
    This does not impact your Apple warranty at all.
    3. Are there any serious issues with the Pros,
    like
    there was with iMac G5s overheating, MacBook Pro
    batteries blowing up, etc.?
    If you put four hard drives in it they may run warmer
    than if only a few are installed. It only accepts
    PCIe and not PCI. Memory for it can be more expensive
    than other models.
    That is about it.
    Cool. From the way the case looked I wasn't sure mounting the drives would be as simple as in a regular PC case, and I obviously didn't want to void my AppleCare. Thanks for your help!
