Run RetroArch without an X Server?

Hello All! Been messing with Linux distros for years now (~8, you name it, I ran it) and finally tried Arch. It's a fun learning experience, and almost like LFS.
Anyways I was just wondering if there was a way to install/compile RetroArch to run without an X Server? And have that automatically boot? Thanks for any tips.

What you call 'the very minimum Xorg stuff' is basically the full stack :-)
Yes, it should work.
If you want to run it in X, you can start X automatically https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Start_X_at_Login

Can I run RCU without uninstalling SOA Server?

Hi All,
I want to get one clarification.
I am getting some SOA infra database problem when I started the SOA server(it is telling some queues in SOA Infra database don't not exist and it(SOA INFRA DATABASE) is also having some database problems).
My question is :
In order to resolve the issue,Can I run RCU(drop the old schema and create new schema) in order to have fresh SOA INFRA AND SOA MDS etc databases without uninstalling SOA Server?
(or) DO I need to uninstall SOA Server and then I have to run RCU and then again reinstall SOA component?
Plesew let me have clarification.

No you dont need to uninstall SOA.
If this is not critical or is not a production you can run the RCU directly and remember to drop schema first then create. Also if you already created the SOA domain so remember to give the same schema name as you gave previously.

Running DNS without os x server

Understanding that the Apple GUI is very usefull, I am looking to create a lean, fast caching DNS server. This server would be used to resolve DNS only, no hosting of domains, just fast resolution. I have been able to scrape together on the internet some basic instructions showing how to setup a Linux or Unix DNS server, but I would like to have something more specific 10.4 workstation. It seems that the file locations are different in the Mac OS, and I expect other things are different??..
Has anyone done this?
I am just trying to avoid spending an additional 500.00 just to run DNS, which is included in your standard workstation release. I have no problem with the command line, I just want a little feedback first.
Thanks

If you've got the instructions on setting this up on another Unix or Linux distribution then the rules are the same - they're all running BIND and the BIND rules don't change with each OS.
The only difference is in the default location of the files, but even that can be changed. All of them are likely to use /etc/named.conf as the main configuration file, and you can set options in there for any directory on disk for local zone files (the default is /var/named/). Setting up the recursion/caching options won't be any different.

How to run report without report server

hi
my question : how i can run report without using the report server; by simple URL to the report stored in directory and accessing by HTTPserver; and the report is running by the local client runtime.
thinks for replay

hello,
what you could try, is to associate the RDF/REP extension with a mimetype (e.g. application/oracle.reports) on the server and then add this mimetype to the browser applications associated with the reports runtime executable.

Can I run a soft without install sql server?

I just wrote a winform C# program and use SQL server 2012 for data.
Can I run this program on other machine without install sql server ?
If I can't. Are there other program simpler than sql server help me run it ?
THANK ALL !

Agree with Nicolas. You need to modify connection string to point to proper server name. This might help in getting proper name of instance.

Run Form in HTTPS or SSL mode without installing Application Server

Hi all,
I have installed Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Developer suite 10g in my PC (Window XP). Now I want to implement SSL or running forms in HTTPS mode instead HTTP and I don't want to install Application server.
Any workaround is there to run Forms in HTTPS mode without installing Application server.
Thanks,
Omer

Performance issue? How old is your hardware? I am running OAS 10.1.2.3 on a Server 2003 VM which basically consumes 512MB RAM and ludicrous amounts of CPU/IO.
In any case: as said if you want to test SSL in a real life scenario then enabling SSL in OC4J is not what you want to do. In production the configuration is completely different, as there you would configure Apache to run your forms via SSL.
What comes to my mind would be to install Apache 1.3 (this would be the version OAS 10.1.2 uses), configure mod_oc4j there and configure it with SSL. On the other hand this also isn't the configuration you have in production so this also is not exacly what you want.
If you want to verify if your forms application will run via SSL then most certainly it will run without changing your sources. The only things you might have to change would be if you do HTTP Requests from the database to your application server via utl_http or from the client to the application server via java beans or via the java importer.
But for tests I'd strongly recommend doing it via an application server installation, and not via developer suite.

Cisco Jabber for Mac, possible without a Presence Server?

Hi all,
is it possible to use the cisco jabber client for Mac without a presence server in the uc environment? A customer is looking for Voip Client/Softphone for their Apple Macs. Instant Messaging is no requirement.
Regards
Steffen

WIlliam,
I belive he could use a Webex Connect account, IPSec VPN, and a CSF device in CUCM to achieve what he is looking for. Though it is a shame that he would need to have Webex Connect to do this just to be able to login to Jabber...
FYI:
I just tried out the CUP integration with Jabber for Mac with my customer with CUCM 8.6.2(a), CUCXN 8.6.2(a), and CUP 8.6.1 HA. It seemed to work ok (I was using VPN as well). For some reason the directory service said it failed yet I could search for people in the directory and it worked fine (strange...). I think this may be because the XCP Directory Service on both CUP servers will not start (not sure why because I do not seem to need it).
My only complaint is that I originally had Jabber for Mac installed for Webex Connect integration. There appeared to me, that there was no way to re-run that original wizard (I looked all around in the package contents...) and select Cisco Presence instead of Webex Connect. To get around this I used AppCleaner to remove Jabber, re-download from Cisco, and re-install, this time selecting the Presence option. Once I tested I had to rinse-repeat to get my Webex Connect back because that is what we use internally. Hopefully they fix this because it makes it hard for us engineers to test Presence integration during installs.
Opinion on Jabber with Webex Connect:
I love it for creating Instant Meetings - It sends an email instantly to me that I can forward to attendee's right away (most of time not with contacts otherwise I would do it that way).
I love the new iPhone app that was just released as well. Very cool. (Do not like how you cannot be logged into both though, not a big deal, Archives of chats are my biggest concern). It is a pretty seemless login/logout from iPhone to Mac and Mac to iPhone though, which I appreciate.
I have no desire for Phone Services or Voicemail integration so it is annoying that it always says at the bottom of the buddy list "Server or port unreachable". I assume that you need to be connected to VPN in order to have connection to CUCM to use the CSF device... Jabber 8.6 Release Notes says that Jabber is not supported with NAT without VPN
Also the Chat History is weak on Mac, and none existent on iPhone . Would be cool if history was built in like CUPC or Lync, doesn't require going to Finder to view, and messages would archive on server.
Plus we use Exchange UM for our Voicemail so not sure how that would integrate with Webex Connect. I believe Exchange Voicemail in Jabber would work with Presence integration though (which is puzzling but I guess it is because you can do all of those XCP external integrations in CUP. However, don't get me started with CUP/Exchange calendar integration and CUP not supporting SAN certificates with multiple hostnames on Exchange...
Thanks for the info on X-Lite and Bria, I may try out these options. I have been using CIPC through VMWare Fusion and it worked quite well. I believe I needed to install Virtual Audio Cable for the sound to work correctly. I use it through Fusion's "Unity" function and it looks like it is native!
Just my 2 cents. Let me know what you think.

Cannot install exchange server 2010 without small business server 2011

we purchased Windows Small Business server 2011 for one of our servers and installed the software and setup exchange server for the office. We had some 3rd party software that would not work with small business server so we had to install windows
2008 r2 server. we still need exchange server 2010. Is there anyway to install without small business server? When I entered the key in exchange server for the small business server it is saying that it is an invalid key. We have a
genuine version of windows small business server. is it all or nothing for the software. Thanks

SBS is indeed all or nothing. Breaking apart the individual components is not allowed. That includes exchange. If you want exchange without SBS, you'll need to buy exchange separately and exchange CALs. If you only have SBS CALs and aren't going to run
SBS, you'll need Windows CALs as well.

Do i need a network card to install and run a local java web server

Friends,
Do i need a network card in my computer to install and run a local Java Web Server or any Web Server.

network cards are only for connecting equipment together... you can set up a webserver without any more equipment than you have already! Indeed Tomcat... BUT you would be better off with apache for production stuff. It depends what you need to serve... if its mainly static pages (i guess it probably isn't) then apache will be enough by itself; but if you need to serve dynamic pages (JSP, Servlet blah blah) then you will need tomcat. Tomcat has it's own webserver and its perfectly ok for testing or low-load stuff, but you can integrate with Apache (a moderately compex task, but do-able, see tomcat-user forum off of apache site) for greater stability, and you don't have to show the port in the URL... Don't set up a webserver on any pc that contains stuff you don't want hacked into... it becomes very succeptible when the service is up...

Changing Weblogic Server properties without restarting Weblogic Server

I have an application that requires a few things to be set at the start of the
Weblogic server (email addresses,criteria settings, etc.). These are contained
in a properties file that is referenced in the Weblogic properties file. The
problem is when I want to make a change in the application property file (change
an email address, increment a criteria) I have to "reboot" the Weblogic server.
These defeats the whole purpose of property files. Is there anyway to get Weblogic
to "recache" the properties files without a Weblogic server "reboot"?
Thanks,
Bryan

I very much doubt that you would be able to refresh the WebLogic properties
file at run-time (is this WebLogic 5.1 or 6.0 you are talking a about?).
If you want to be able to update properties run-time (as opposed to
boot-time) then don't use WebLogic's property file - use either your own
properties file or store the properties elsewhere such as in the database or
in JNDI. You will of course have to implement your own refresh algorithm.
If you are using EJBs then a simple READ-ONLY entity bean with a refresh
period of a few seconds may suffice.

Can dw cs3 connect directly to sql server database without a testing server?

I'm new to dreamweaver but have used script tools that link
directly to my sql server database.
Not in dw, so far. As of this early stage, I don't have or
want to use a web server, and it's blocking me
without one. I just want to prototype without a testing
server, directly to my database. And while I'll try php
later, I didn't want to have to get into it or cold fusion,
etc. right away.
Can dw connect directly to sql server database without a
testing server?
I'm running XP sp 3 at this point, and don't see IIS. There's
probably some security issues
I'll have to tangle with. The goal is for my website to end
up on the company intRAnet, not the www.
fwiw, I can Build in Data Link Properties and get a
successful test to my sql server database via
Microsoft Data Link, but once I go back and try the test in
OLE DB Connection it balks on the testing server,
as I don't have one locally or otherwise. Isn't there a way
to link to db without a testing server?
Thanks for any insights.

Yes, you can. However, Dreamweaver's PHP server behaviors
work only with
MySQL. To connect to any other database, you need to hand
code
everything yourself.

Run DTSX Package in SQL Server 2012

Hi,
Can I run the DTSX packages( Developed in SQL Server 2008 R2 ) directly in SQL Server 2012 without converting into SSIS . Can anyone tell me the procedures to execute a DTSx packages in SQL server SQL Server 2012 without converting into SSIS.
One Common Parent Package calls all the Child packages. i.e 32 bit on 64 bit
Regards,

If you want to run packages without upgrading you can make use of command line utility like DTExec for executing them.
If you open them in a Integration Services project in 2012 then will automatically upgrade packages to new version.

Run iTunes on a headless server

I am wanting to run iTunes as a Music server on a headless server without an audio card. I have installed it copied over my entire library and turned on Homesharing. It works awesome with my Apple TV and any other iTunes computer but there is one problem. Since this is a Homeserver box (HP EX495) there isn't an audio card so every time I launch iTunes it first says there isn't a audio device. I push OK and everything works. I want to enable autologin and put iTunes in the start menu so I never have to remote into the box to push ok. Is there a command line switch with iTunes to not check on Audio/Video hardware?

I finally found help for setting up itunes on startup with no sound card. This worked for my HP Smartmedia server so it may work for you as well.
Copied from another forum (Mediasmartserver)
Step 1: Remove iTunes
Remove any install of iTunes form the server by logging in using RDC (Remember: Administrator, servername /console or /admin), After iTunes uninstall, go to Add/Remove Programs from Control Panel and also uninstall the following:
"Apple Application Support", "Bonjour", " Apple Software Update" and "QuickTime" (don't worry if some are not there to uninstall)
Now restart the server.
Step 2: iTunes Service Errors
Dial back into the server using RDC, Download the latest version of iTunes installer (32bit) from Apple, Run the installer, when the installer gets to "running services" it will hang for a bit then a error message will pop up regarding "ipodservice failed to start", Click IGNORE and the iTunes install will complete.
After install has completed you may get several windows error messages regarding "iPodservice 32bit" and, or "iTunesHelper" simply keep clicking "Don't Send" until the messages stop appearing.
Now disable iTunesHelper and the iPodService. Do this by:
iPodService:
Start > Run > type msconfig > Services Tab > Uncheck iPodService.
iTunesHelper:
Startup Tab > Uncheck iTunesHelper (you should also uncheck "Logon Warning" also to stop the annoying popup warning every time you login using RDC)
Apply Changes, Click Restart LATER.
Step 3: Add iTunes to the DEP list
Now you need to add iTunes components to the DEP exempt list. Do this by:
While in your server desktop using RDC,
Right click "My Computer" > Properties > Advanced Tab > Under Performance section click Settings > Data Execution Prevention tab >Ensure "Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select" is selected > Click ADD > Add "iTunes.exe", "iTunesHelper.exe", "iPodService.exe", "iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe"
you will find iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe and iTunesPhotoProcessor.exe at C:/Program Files/iTunes/ (default location)
you will find iPodService.exe at C:/Program Files/iPod/bin/ (default location)
Restart the Server.
You may think why not just select "Turn on DEP for essential windows programs and services only" I thought the same but I can ensure you, you will run into issues if you do this!
Step 4: Audio Configuration Error
Login in using RDC, you should hopefully not see any iTunes/iPod related error messages when logging into Windows. If you do check your DEP list to ensure all of the above are on there, OR you could try disabling Windows Error Reporting:
Right click "My Computer" > Properties > Advanced Tab > Error Reporting > Disable Error Reporting.
Launch iTunes, You will notice you get a " iTunes had detected a Audio Configuration Error" Click OK, iTunes will launch. Close iTunes
this happens because the server has no Audio Hardware, You need to install a "virtual audio cable" Download the following free program:
http://www.softpile.com/Multimedia/Audio/Review13135index.html(this is the virtual audio cable)
Now disconnect from the Server by closing RDC connection
Now for this to work you must change a setting in the RDC program: Sound output MUST be selected to: "from the windows based computer only" (RDC for Mac) or "leave at remote computer" (Windows RDC) you need to do this for the Virtual Audio Cable to install correctly on the server. Log back in using RDC and run the Virtual Audio Cable setup file. Now start iTunes, you should not see any Audio configuration error messages.
If you do,
close iTunes, go to: Start > Control Panel > Quick Time > Audio Tab > Select "Direct Sound" > Apply settings and close > Try iTunes again.
If you still have a issue make sure you changed the sound option in RDC correctly or try a restart of the server.
This should now mean iTunes can start without any user input.
You should also add your iOS remote device now if you are going to be using one.
Step 5: iTunes auto launch on startup
Now that iTunes is free of errors, we need to make it auto start up when your server starts without needing to login into your server via RDC every time to start iTunes.
Simply add iTunes to the Start up folder, by either dragging the desktop shortcut to the start menu > all programs > and drop it into the startup folder OR place the iTunes shortcut into C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\
Now to make the Administrator console login automatically on Windows start up, To do this you need to edit the registry of windows, Don't be afraid its simple and easy!
Start > Run > type regedit.exe > HKEYLOCALMACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows NT >CurrentVersion > Winlogon
Double-click the DefaultUserName entry, type Administrator, and then click OK.
Double-click the DefaultPassword entry, type your password, and then click OK.
NOTE: If the DefaultPassword value does not exist, it must be added. To add the value, follow these steps:
On the Edit menu, click New, and then point to String Value.
Type DefaultPassword, and then press ENTER.
Double-click DefaultPassword.
In the Edit String dialog, type your password and then click OK.
Now Double-click AutoAdminLogon entry
In the Edit String dialog box, type 1 and then click OK. (delete the zero (0) if there is one)
Quit Registry Editor.
As a nice touch (you don't have to do this)but if your like me, when logging in using RDC you see iTunes open, really you want it to startup minimized to the tray right? Yes! Do so by downloading and installing iTunes Control onto your server, its a free program.
You can get iTunes Control form here:
http://itunescontrol.com/download.php
Once installed, open iTunesControl > Startup & Shutdown > Select Minimize iTunes on Startup > Apply setting and close.
Also in iTunes go to: Edit > Preferences >Advanced > Select "Show iTunes icon in system tray" and also select "Minimize iTunes window to system tray"
Your Done! if you restart the server it should automatically launch iTunes without ANY user input, easy way to check is by using a iOS device remote app to see if it connects after a server restart. or by using your apple tv to confirm iTunes is running. If you are streaming to a AirPort Express make sure it is selected as the speaker output from iTunes or via Remote App.

Wireless Sync without an enterprise server?

Hello!
I'm not sure if this is even possible and it's probably a really dumb question....but here goes...I'm familiar the ability to wirelessly sync email, contacts, calendar, etc., in Outlook via a Microsoft Exchange Server. I'm trying to help a friend who has a Treo 755 and currently uses Hot Sync to sync these items to her Palm Desktop software on her personal PC. Is there a way to wirelessly sync all of these items either with Outlook or Palm Desktop without an enterprise server? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's a valid question, and quite frequent here. Sprint used to offer a product named Business Connection Personal Edition (BCPE) that shoveled emails in real-time in and out of Outlook through a Sprint server. As long as you kept this product running on your PC, it worked very well. Unfortunately, Sprint decided last year to shut down this service. They then announced that Treo PalmOS and Centro users could migrate to a later release of this product named Sprint Mobile Email Work (at no charge if your data plan is $25/mo or more, otherwise it's $10/mo). You can read more about this product here:
