Solaris containers, am I thinking in the right way ?

Hi there,
I've downloaded Solaris 10 and so far I really like what I see. With all the exploits appearing on Linux (local root exploits in the kernel for example) I'm seriously considering to replace my Debian GNU/Linux environment with Solaris 10. Ofcourse this requires a lot of preperation, which is where I'm now. Slowly but steadily checking and comparing to make sure that Solaris can do everything I'm currently doing on Linux.
One of the reasons why I think Solaris is appealing are the so called 'containers'. I've already read some faqs which explain the procedure (like the 'partial root' setup where your main directories get "linked" from the root system) but I'm still not too sure what to make of all this.
Is this setup comparible with a chroot'ed environment or is this comparable (to a certain extend) with the UML (User Mode Linux) setup; where a copy of the Linux kernel runs in userspace, thus making it harder to gain access to the host system ? I know that the container shares the same kernel and memory, but what about the rest ?
Many websites compare the containers with the BSD Jails, but from what I have read on sun.com there still seem to be many differences.
So could someone shed a little more light on this subject or, even better, point me to some documentation which gives a little more detail than focussing on the broad basics ?
Thanks in advance!

I believe its Like Domains that that you get on the Large machines, its a way of having a number of different environment/virtual machines on one system.

What's the "right" way to create a News list in CQ5.4?

Hey folks,
I'm a brand new CQ developer and, though I've done a lot of reading, I'm still in the dark on how to do a few things.
I'm currently working on a corporate website, and I need to build a News page. Each article contains a title and rich text (possibly including embedded images, videos, etc...), and the News page itself should display a paginated list of recent article summaries (with "read full article" links). I also need to show the two or three most recent article summaries on the site's front page, under a News heading.
I thought there'd be a pre-built component to cover this case, since most corporate sites include a News page of some sort, but I haven't found one. Am I missing it? I looked into the Blog page template, but I think that adapting that may be overkill.
I think that the right way to do this would be to build a News component with a Title and Rich Text field in the edit dialog. New articles could be created by dropping these components into the parsys of the News page. I could then create both a .html and a .summary view for the components and use a customized List component to display the summary list on the front page. Am I on the right track here, or am I overcomplicating it?
Thanks!

Hi,
The "right" way of building any list-like component is to extend the existing List component.
That is referenced in this documentation page:
http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/wcm/default_components.html#List
You can find it under /libs/foundation/components/lists
To create, for example, a 'News List' component, just create a new component under your /apps/myproject/components, setting 'foundation/components/list' as sling:resourceSuperType ans add your custom script to display each news item. see also [1]
That way you canprovide more renderers to be used around your site(s)

What is the right way to re-format idop's Classic Hard Disk?

Since my ipod classic 160 GB is malfunctioning, after I did a lot of restores
trying to fix it without success,
I've done a HDSMARTDATA test with the following results:
Retracts: 2
Reallocs: 9880
Pending Sectors: 0
PowerOn Hours: 16
Start/Stops: 296
Temp: Current 25c
Temp: Min 19c
Temp: Max 56c
I can see that there are a lot of Reallocs .
a) Can anybody advice, if they are really a lot enough to cause problems, e.g. not playing songs, rebooting itself e.t.c.
b) I was thinking to reformat its HD. Can anybody tell me which is the RIGHT way to do that (steps)?
c) Will I be able to restore its firmware (via itunes) after the re-formating ?
The current firmware is 2.0.4.
I use Windows XP (SP3), and the latest revision of itunes (10.1.1.4).

Yes you can format ipod in windows just like you format any usb device, and then use restore in itunes. Check the link: http://www.methodshop.com/gadgets/ipodsupport/erase/index.shtml .

Photos not the right way round

I imported loads of photos from my digital camera onto my mac, then flipped them the right way in preview.
I've just imported them to iphoto, and they all seem the right way up but when uploading to my webspace or emailing, although they look like they are the right way up, they are infact still landscape when they should be portrait... any thoughts why?!

You can export them to the Desktop and then reimport. The new file will be naturally oriented correctly and should work in any application OK. You can check it out by seeing if there's been a subfolder created in the Modified folder that is the same name as the one in the Originals folder. There should not be one. Once reimported you can delete the first set. You can make it easier by assembling them into a single roll and delete from within iPhoto.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Being Nice to your Layout manager - Is this the right way?

Ive written a custom component that basically provides multi-line text wrapping and a few other nice things.
I had a bit of trouble when I came to implementing
getPreferredSize() getMinimumSize() This is because ideally, I'd like the component to use as much space horizontally as possible, whilst using only as much vertical space as necessary.
To do this, I used the parents width as the minimum horizontal size. This then allowed me to work out the height.
Question is - is that the right way to do it? Other than that, I just cant think of a way to get the width I need when the component is first added to its container.
Cheers for any input,
Dave

If you want it to use as much horizontal space as possible, that means you want its width to be equal to its container's width (perhaps minus a bit for borders or something). So in that case you would have to set its minimum width to that number, and that's exactly what you did. There could be other ways to do it, but yours seems perfectly fine to me.

The "right" way to handle multiple devices, accounts and the cloud?

Perhaps a bit premature, but I figure it's never too early to start planning.
Here's our current setup - I currently have four iDevices in the faily (three iPhones and one iPod Touch. All are syncing to the same Mac Mini, albeit with different logins (and different iTunes store ids). All four of these are kept in sync via Home Sharing so we have access to the music/apps/etc acquired by the others.
Enter the iCloud - how does this fit in? What's the *right* way to do this?
I can see two options:
1)     Continue to utilize four iTunes store ids, sync them via Home Sharing and add four iClouds
     Advantages
          totally independent devices, users, etc.
     Disadvantages
          must pay for four "iTunes Match" services to access non-iTunes music on each of the four devices
          will iTunes-purchased music automaticaly sync to iCloud if it is shared via Home Sharing (or only by the original purchaser)?
2)     Use one iTunes Store id for all iDevices
     Advantages
          single point of acquisition and distribution for all devices
     Disadvantages
          need to find a way to merge IDs (is this even possible?)
Are there other advantages/disadvantages to these options? Are there other options? What's the easiest to set up and support? Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance for your input.

Well it seems like the first thing you should do is consolidate your iTunes libraries so that you don't have 4 copies of everything, one for each user logged in to your Mac Mini. How you do that is consolidate all 4 iTunes folders to one folder located in the /Users/Shared/ folder and update each of your iTunes to point to that folder accordingly. That way you have one iTunes library, only one copy of your media, but accessible from multiple users.
One caveat is that if somebody is logged on and has iTunes open, you can't fast switch to another user and open iTunes. Apple made it so that only one user and one instance of iTunes can open a iTunes library at a time.
For your iTunes match situation, it does sound like you would be much better off sharing a single Apple ID with one iTunes Match. For consolidating, make sure you have everything everybody has shared via Home Sharing to the main account you'd like to move over to, and then simply go to each device Settings, Store, and the sign out of the original Apple ID and logon using the shared main Apple ID. I just looked at it and the automatic downloading is already live in iOS! You can specify if you want to do music, apps, and books separately in case you may want to automatically download music but not apps or books.

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

How to create a custom panel in the right way (without having an empty panel in the file info) ?

Hi Everyone
My name is Daté.
I'm working in the fashion industry as a designer and Design consultant to help fashion brands improving the design workflow by using Adobe softwares and especially Illustrator.
I'm not a developper, but i'm very interested about the possibility to introduce xmp technology to provide more DAM workflows in the fashion industry.
Fashion designers produce a lot of graphical objects in illustrator or Photoshop. Unfortunately they are faced to a big challenge which is about how to manage, search, classify and get this files faster. Of course PDM system or PLM system are used in the Fashion industry to manage data, but for many companies, implemanting this kind of database is very complex.
When i look at what you can do with xmp, it seems to be an interesting way of managing design files, then i started to follow Adobe instruction to try to build a custom panel.
The main idea is to (Theory) :
create custom panels used by fashion designers to classify their design files.
Use Adobe Bridge to search files, create smart collection to make basic reports in pdf and slideshows
Find someone to make a script able to export metadata in xml files
Use indesign and the xml file to generate automatically catalogues or technical sheets based on xmp values
I have created a custom panel by using the generic panel provided by Adobe and i have modified the fields to feet with the terms used in the fashion industry and it works well.
But unfortunately, when i try to create my own custom panel from scratch with Flashbuilder (4.6) and the Adobe CSExtensionBuilder_2 (Trial version), it doesn't work!
Here is the process :
I have installed flashbuilder 4.6
I have download the XMP Fileinfo SDK 5.1 and placed the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4_1.1.0.jar in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\eclipse\plugins
In Flashbuilder, i have created a new project and select xmp Custom panel
The new project is created in flashbuilder with a field with A BASIC Description Field
To generate the panel, right click the project folder and select xmp / Publish Custom Panel
The panel is automatically generated in the following folder : C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels
Go to illustrator, Open the file Info
The panel appears empty
The others panel are also empty
The panel is created and automatically placed in the right folder, but when you open it in Illustrator by selecting the File Info option in the File Menu, this custom panel appears empty!!! (only the title of the tab is displayed). This panel also prevent the other panels to be displayed.
When you delete this custom panels from the folder C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\XMP\custom file info panels\3.0\panels and go back to the File Info, the other panels display their content properly.
I also try to use the plugin XMP Namespace designer to create my own namespace. this plugin is also able to generate a custom panel, but this one also appears empty in AI or Photoshop.
I try to follow the process described in Adobe xmp documentation many times, but it didn't works.
It seems that many peaople have this issue, but i dodn't find a solution in the forum.
I try to create a trust file (cfg), but it didn't work.
It would be so kind if you can help me to understand why i can't create a custom panel normally and how to do it in the right way.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Best regards,
Daté

Hi Sunil,
After many trial, i realize the problem was not coming from the trust file, but from the way i have created the custom panel.
There is 2 different ways, the first described below is not working whereas the second is fine :
METHOD 1 :
I have downloaded the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6
In the XMP-Fileinfo-SDK-CS6 folder, i copied the com.adobe.xmp.sdk.fileinfo_fb4x_1.2.0.jar plugin from the Tools folder and i pasted it in the plugind folder of Flashbuilder 4.6
The plugin install an XMP project
In Flashbuilder 4.6 i have created a new project (File / New /Project /XMP/XMP Custom Panel)
A new xmp project is created in flashbuilder.
You can publish this project by right clicking the root folder and selecting XMP / Publish Custom Panel
The custom file info panel is automatically published in the right location which is on Mac : /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/3.0 or /Users/UserName/Library/Application Support/Adobe/XMP/Custom File Info Panels/4.0
Despite the publication of the custom file info panel and the creation of a trust file in the following location : "/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/FlashPlayerTrust", the panel is blank in Illustrator.
I try this way several times, with no good results.
METHOD 2 :
I have installed Adobe CSExtensionBuilder 2.1 in Flash Builder
In FlashBuilder i have created a new project (File / New /Project /Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder/XMP Fileinfo Panel Project)
As the system display a warning about the version of the sdk to use to create correctly a custom file info, I changed the sdk to sdk3.5A
The warning message is : "XMP FileInfo Panel Projects must be built with Flex 3.3, 3.4 or 3.5 SDK. Building with Flex 4.6.0 SDK may result in runtime errors"
When i publish this File info panel project (right click the root folder and select Run as / Adobe illustrator), the panel is published correctly.
The last step is to create the trust file to display the fields in the panel and everything is working fine in Illustrator.
The second method seems to be the right way.
For sure something is missing in the first method, and i don't understand the difference between the XMP Custom Panel Project and the XMP Fileinfo Panel Project. Maybe you can explain it to me.
So what is the best solution ? the right sdk to use acording to the creative suite (the system asks to use 3.3 or 3.5 sdk for custom panels, so why ?)
I'm agree with Pedro, a step by step tutorial about this will help a lot of peaople, because it's not so easy to understand!!!
Sunil, as you belong to the staff team, can you tell me if there is :
A plugin or a software capable to extract the XMP from llustrator files to generate XML workflows in Indesign to create catalogues
A plugin to allow indesign to get custom XMP in live caption
A plugin to allow Bridge to get custom XMP in the Outputmode to make pdf or web galeries from a smart collection
How can you print the XMP data with the thumbnail of the file ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best Regards

What's the right way to delete an entire backup ?

I've had two Macs doing wireless Time Machine backups to one Time Capsule.
Question: I got rid of one Mac, and want to delete its backup entirely (but leave the other computer's backups untouched). What's the right way to do it?

Bob Timmons wrote:
Jespes, welcome to the discussions!
Open your hard drive. Your Time Capsule icon should appear under the SHARED heading.
Click on the Time Capsule and a folder will appear to the right.
Double click the folder and you should see a xxxxxx.sparsebundle file for each computer that has been backing up.
Click on the xxxxx.sparsebundle file that you want to delete to highlight it and then click the gear shaped icon just above. Select Move to Trash. (Do not drag the file to the Trash as this will not work).
Be careful, as the file will be deleted instantly and you will not be able to retrieve it.
many thanks!

What is the right way to move a directory to another drive?

When I move a directory to another location using drag and drop in the Elements 11 Organizer folder tree most, if not all, of the images become unlinked. What is the right way to move a directory and have the image paths updated in the Organizer database? Thanks.

That's something I just did successfully one hour ago...
I suppose your are in the 'folder' view with full folder tree, not in the 'My folder' view which only shows the lower subfolder level recorded in the database.
Do you try to move a folder with its subfolders ?

What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

H All:
What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
(Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler from firing.
Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the below error.
// Below code fails with
// 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
//   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn. So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
There must be a better way(?).
Thanks
            import fl.controls.DataGrid;
            import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
           // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not fill the space tor the datagrid.
            myDataGrid.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
            var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes");
            c1.width = 90;

I am trying to show a node of cardinality 0...n as a table in an adobe form in Java web dynpro. But its not showing it properly. Can anybody please tell me what is the right way to display a table on adobe form using a node of cardinality 0...n or 1...n in Java Webdynpro. In ABAP webdynpro, we can drag and drop a node of cardianlity 0...n or 1...n to show as a table and it works fine. Is the same possible in Java webdynpro also. Please help.
Thanks and Regards.

Please refer to my post.. you will get the answer
Dynamic Table - same data repeating in all rows
Special care should be taken in designing the context for table attribute.
The attribute type singletone also plays a important role. I have this doubt from the beginning when you have reported this problem for the first time but finally you marked it as solved so i thought there might be some other issues but again when you reported that again i did some analysis.
Now coming to final solution :
For designing a table in adobe interactive form you have consider following
You have to design the view context upto three level, I am explaining you the properties
PDFDataSource (Parent Level1) - Cardinality 1:1 - Signetone -True - This is assigned to datasource
TableList (Parent Level2) - Cardinality (1:1) - Signetone -True
TableWrapper(Parent Level3) - Cardinality (0:n) - Signetone -True
TableData (Parent Level4) - Cardinality (0:1) - Signetone - false (This is the main point)
Then under TableData value node, you have to put all your table attributes.
This Value Node name can be anything but hierarchy should be same as I have mentioned above.
Please try out these steps and get back to me if you have any doubt.

What is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging?

what is the right way to connect the adapter to my macbook when charging.
is it connect the magsafe connector first before plugging the adapter to the outlet? or the way around? or both ways will do?
what if i'm using a surge protection with a on/off button, can I just turn the surge protector extension on and off without disconnecting the magsafe connector and adapter plug from my laptop when i'm not using it?
thank you very much

If there is any arcing it may be because the adapter is dirty. It is best to plug in the wall wart then attach the magsafe to the MacBook. As GfulDedFan mentioned this reduces the chance of power surging the MacBook. I have done mine this way since he day I bought it and have never had an arc. I keep it clean to reduce the chance of this happening. The following will help in the care of your supply.

Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?
