Return to Space: Whatever happened to Gnuffy Linux?

Long ago there seems to have been some awesome Arch derivative called Gnuffy Linux. It had a bash-based package manager named Spaceman, which is pacman-compatible. Here's a quote that summarizes the thing:
Gnuffy can use any of Arch Linux’s repos in addition to its own, and can use the standard PKGBUILDs in addition to its own improved version of PKGBUILD, which includes some Gentoo-style USE flags and other enhancements. Packages on Gnuffy’s repos are GPG signed with the key of the packager, and Spaceman checks signatures.
Spaceman is a monster of a bash script, with over 9000 lines of code. Literally. There are just way too many features for me to talk about, so read up on Spaceman's full specification list if you're interested. The source code for Spaceman is here. If you're going to try it out, don't forget to get the compatibility patch.
The big feature in Spaceman is the USEflags, from Gentoo. "Basically, a useflag controls an optional build feature a source-code supports. If the useflag is set, the support will be included, if it is not set, the support will be left out." Useflags may be controversial, but there's no doubt that it can be quite useful in certain situations.
There are Gnuffy Repositories, which are GPG-signed user repos that anyone can make. Spaceman could install a binary from such a repo, or compile from the source file: ".src.pkg.tar.xz". This works similarly to srcman.
Also, it had something called Comamain, a program included with Spaceman which would automatically compile and update new packages, maintaining your packages for you.
It had a bash script that converted an Arch Linux install into a Gnuffy one I'd have more to say about this if I could find it... Does anyone have a copy? People do talk about it here: http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=517
What happened to it? It seems to have dropped off the face of the earth sometime after 4/04/2011. That would be a shame, it seemed like an awesome project.
Does anyone have a link to it, or a copy of it's SVN? I'd like to check it out, maybe resurrect it if it has good features.

I had a look at this a while back and it had not had any substantial SVN commits for a _long_ time before that.

For carriage returns i replaced chr(10) with '
(without the single quotes). I works fine. But how i can i retain the spacesplease give me some suggestions
Thanks
phani

Hi dimitri,
Thanks for the reply
For carriage returns i am doing like this replace(column_name,chr(10),'<"br">') (Ignore the double quotes)
For spaces is there any ASCII code like chr(10) for carriage returns..
I mean how to identify Number of spaces in database..

Do the iPod Disk Diagnostics as posted by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Post the results, so we will try to help.

I think Configurator will happen for InDesign CC, just not yet.
For now, you could write a startup script.
I only suggest these as alternatives. It would have been better if Adobe had made it an option. Very heavy handed and another thing that is going to P loyal users off.

Whatever happened to file icons as attachments?

Whatever happened to file icons as attachments? Now, whenever I attach a document to my email, the entire document appears in the body of the message. Can I turn this off and just have the message show the file icon?

Any document including a Word or another word processing application document?
The Mail.app shows all image/picture and smaller PDF documents (1-2 pages) inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This should not occur when attaching a Word or another word processing application document.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but regardless, Mail.app attachments are sent as true attachments to the message and depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such an attachment may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as an attached file only which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
You can also use a 3rd party plugin for the Mail.app called Mail Attachments Iconizer.

'java': "Could not reserve enough space on heap" on 48G Linux machine

I have installed the 64bit version of jdk-1.6.0-17 from java.sun.com on my RedHat Linux machine with 48G internal memory.
All the java commands return :
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine.
strace shows that java is trying to allocate 25% of my memory, ie 12G, and my virtual memory limit is 6G.
The 32bit 1.6.0-16 did not expose this behaviour. I haven't tried the 32bit version of 1.6.0-17, sorry, but I do need those 64 bits. And I haven't tried the 64bit 1.6.0-16 either, should I?

Running without the 6G limit and setting Xmx12000M doesn't help.
I hope someone can shed some light into what's going on here. Why on earth would Java think it needs 12G memory to run? And why, when it gets it, is it still not enough?
Thanks,
Calle

No, passing -Xmx4096m to java, and -J-Xmx4096m to javac, javah and jar. Is JAVA_OPTIONS or JAVA_TOOLS_OPTIONS better, how do I use those?

How to create a folder with spaces written in Java under Linux?

Hello,
I have a serious problem
I want to run a Linux command using a Java class with the runtime interface, there is a command to create a folder named eg "My Folder", with a space
For create the Unix command is easy to do either:
mkdir My\ Folder
or
mkdir "My Folder"
But how to translate this in Java, I tried with two commands :
Runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder")
Runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"")
For example :
import java.io.IOException;
public class CreerDossier {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder");
runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"");
But it's still not working,
For runtime.exec("mkdir My\\ Folder") it creates two folders My\ and Folder
For runtime.exec("mkdir \"My Folder\"") it creates also two folders "My and Folder"
Are there solutions?
Thank you !

But my real problem is how to apply the chmod 777 on a folder containing spacesSo why not say so in the first place?
Runtime.exec ("chmod 777 My\\ Folder");Runtime.exec(new String[]{"chmod", "777", "My Folder"});
That is why I chose the example of mkdirYour reasoning on this point is incomprehensible. You wanted help with A so you asked about B. Just wasting time.

Simple??? Want "INSERT" function to return blank space after a field, how?

All,
Am I just having a brain fart? I have a situation where I have a field that needs to return just one space, or a value that has a space before and after it.
Example:
In the text ==> I am<field>going to the office. <-- notice no space between am, <field> and going
I want it to say if FALSE, then "I am *not* going to the office."
If true, then "I am going to the office."
If true, I'm simply RETURN(""); <-- This returns a blank space
If FALSE, I have tried:
ret="not"
RETURN(" " & ret & " ");
This returns "I am notgoing to the office". <-- Notice no blank space after "not"?
I've tried
ret="not";
ret2=(" " & ret);
RETURN(Insert(ret2, 3, " "));
Still the same result. What's strange is, if I do a RETURN(Insert(ret2, *2*, " "));, then it returns "I am no tgoing to the office" <-- Notice the space between the "o" and the "t"?
Ideas?

Trailing spaces are often removed from data. In your case, the easiest thing to do will be to use what is called the "hard space" character instead of a "real" space. This is key code ALT+0160. For all intent and purposes, it looks like a space and will print as a space, but since it is not technically the space (0032) character, it will not be trimmed from your projects. Just open the quotes, turn off the NUMLOCK and hold down the ALT key and type 0160 and then release the ALT key. This will add the hard space into your string. Then if you are like me, you will have to remember to turn the NUMLOCK back on.
" not "
I'm not sure how this will post into this message, but the example above is using hard space characters.

Existing storage spaces: what happens if I reinstall Windows?

Hi everybody, I'm considering using Windows 8 "storage
spaces" to combine two external disks with 2-way mirroring. What will happen if, for some reason, my OS disk is no longer available. How will a fresh
installation of Windows 8 react to an existing storage space? Will it automatically recognise the storage space or does the storage space configuration rely on state stored on the OS disk?
Thank you!
Daniele

HT4847 Why would I back up games and other apps in iCloud? If I don't back them up (to free storage space) what happens if I lose my phone? Thanks

So I've never asked a question before and and unsure why I have to re-ask it here but here goes. I received an e-mail that my iCloud storage id full on my iPhone4. I see that I have every app backed up? What does that do for me? Why would I want to back up games, or SiriusXM, things like CNN, Skype apple store? And what happens if i don't back them up and lose my phone?
Thanks
Gerri

If one day you need to restore from a backup due to stolen, replaced, or corrupted system on a device, apps not included in the backup will not have their data files restored. I don't turn on a lot of my apps since I don't care about any data they may store (e.g. CNN recent stories or game points). But I suspect that these apps contribute very little to total backup space. It's the camera roll and apps like Goodreader that store a lot of PDF and other files locally that pad up a backup.

How do you return to the thunderbird main window in linux when it opens in a local folder?

I can find no option to return to the main window of Thunderbird 31.1.1 under Fedora 20. It always opens in the same local folder (the only tab displayed under "File Edit View .. " menu bar) that I was reading before yesterday's "logoff.". I tried restarting the computer. Help would be appreciated.

I think you aren't seeing the account folders pane.
On the menu, '''View|Layout''' and check ''Folder Pane''.
If you don't have a menu, hold down <alt> then tap l (lower case L).
The folder pane shows your accounts and their folders, and is, IMHO, essential for navigating around in Thunderbird.

Whatever happened to Alt+F6 (to switch between modeless dialogs)?

In all versions of Windows until Vista (I think that was when it went
missing) you used to be able to press the standard defined accelerator
Alt+F6 to switch between an application's main window and any modeless
dialogs it had.
It's still documented as such here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb246447(v=vs.85).aspx
"ALT+F6
Switch to next window within application (between modeless secondary
windows and their primary window).
For example, in Notepad, when you have its Find dialog open, under
XP/Windows 2003 (and all earlier Windows versions) you can press
Alt+F6 to switch between the main window and the Find dialog.
This keystroke was particularly useful when an application's modeless
dialog was positioned off the screen and couldn't be clicked on it
with the mouse. You could press Alt+F6 to activate the modeless
dialog, then Alt+Space to popup the modeless dialog's menu, then
invoke the move operation - and get the modeless dialog back on
screen.
On all versions of Windows subsequent to XP/W2K3, as far as I know
there's no way of activating a modeless dialog with the keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a substitute keystroke, and if not, out of
interest why we lost that keystroke?
Dave

Are you using KMS?
I'm not sure but you could try launching your WM from .xinitrc:
'exec ck-launch-session WM'
Instead of WM you can try 'startxfce4' 'xfce' or wait for somebody smarter than me :-)

Out of disk space for Oracle 11i with Linux as OS

i want to add additional space for my server, currently i have (3) 36gb harddisk on raid 5 which add up to 108gb but since i am ran out of space for my data, i planned to add (1) 146gb though i can add 3 disk as i have 3 slots available, wont there be any complication if i add this as it is not the same with the current config? wont it affect my oracle application?

In my calculation, 3 36GB Disk under RAID5 add up 72GB. You could add your extra Disk for example on the /u01 mount point (standard for 11i apps). If you want to go for performance, you should consider another Disk with the same size and use RAID1, if that's available and hard disk mirroring is a requirement.
