[Solved] best dynamic DE/WM ?

hello,
i often use CLI applications in favor of GUI equivalents as they have often been far more stable, and are usually far faster.
i love Screen-vs, yet in order to use the occasional GUI application (firefox) i have to use a rather messy system of using a transparent-desktop-terminal with gnome-terminal and its irritating keybinds on top of xfce
is there a better way?
i have seen screenies of what looks to be a tiling WM (i have used xmonad before) but with floating windows as well; how can i do this?
oh and transparency so i can see my desktop would be nice too
sorry for the bad english: i am native but i'm also in a bit of a rush
thanks

Pick one randomly... or just try all of them (like I did), then take your pick. Like litemotiv says, all WM's will have what you want, but they all do in their own way, and not one is better than the other, so the only way to find out is to try. I have my favourite, but I don't want to bias your options ;-)
Edit: Meh, everyone said their favourites, so I'll weigh in too. My pick is herbstluftwm. just throwing it out there, in case you want to try it

General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps

We use Oracle 11g DB on Windows2008R2 as web application backend DB.
We have peformance trouble in that DB.
I would like to know General Oracle Database Performance trouble solving best practice Steps.
Is there any good general best practice document for performace trouble solving in the internet ?

@Girish Sharma: I disagree with this. Many people say things like your phrase "..first identify the root cause and then move forward" but that is not the first step. Any such technique is nothing more than looking at some report, finding a number that you don't like, and attempting to "fix" it. Some people use that supposedly funny term "compulsive tuning disorder" (first used by Gaja Krishna Vaidyanatha) to describe this approach (also advocated in this topic by @Supriyo Dey). The first step must be to determine what the problem is. Until you know that, all those reports you mentioned (which, remember, require EE plus pack licences) are useless.
@teradata0802, your best practice starts by finding the problem. Is it, for example, that the overnight batch jobs don't finish until lunchtime? A screen takes 10 seconds to refresh, and your target is one second? A report takes half an hour, but you need to run it every five minutes? Determine what business function is causing your client to lose money because it is too slow. Then investigate what it is doing, how, and why. You have to begin by focussing on the problem, not by running database-wide reports..

[SOLVED]Best/cleanest way to use pacman -R

After reading the manual I have came up with my idea of best way to use pacman -R command, please tell me what you think, is there a better/cleaner way to remove packages I don't want anymore, a safer way?
sudo pacman -Rnsu [target]
So I don't want backups saved, so I have -n there.
I don't want all the dependencies installed with the package (I think.....) so I have -s there.
And I don't want unneeded packages so I have -u there.
Is this all safe and clean? Thanks guys!
P.S. I'm removing vim or trying to right now, I forgot about sublime text and how fun it was back when I used to use it. Thanks!

Solve this Dynamic sql problem

hi i am sending the table and the contents in the table and what i want from the table.
SQL> descr sswms_rule_components;
Name Null? Type
RULE_COMPONENT_ID NOT NULL NUMBER
RULE_COMPONENT_CODE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
RULE_COMPONENT_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(100)
ENABLED_FLAG NOT NULL VARCHAR2(1)
DB_TABLE VARCHAR2 (100)
DB_COLUMN VARCHAR2 (100)
DB_FUNCTION VARCHAR2(100)
WHERE_CLAUSE VARCHAR2 (2000)
FROM_CLAUSE VARCHAR2 (2000)
The table contains the following data
db_table
sswms_shipment_lines
wsh_carrier_ship_method --- the data inside the db_table column is a table
db_column
Ship to
Carrier_id
Where_clause
Oe_order_headers_all.header_id = sswms_shipment_lines.order_header_id
From_clause
Oe_order_headers_all, sswms_shipment_lines -- the data inside the From_clause is a table
Now my requirement is to build a dynamic sql in forms 6i.when I click the build sql it should update the sql
So --- I have to write a procedure --
Select db_table || . || db_column || ‘’ || group_key
---group_key is an alias
From db_table, From_clause
--- Here the logic should be
1. I should remove the commas from the “FROM_CLAUSE” column and check for duplicate values
2. i should check for duplicate values for the “DB_TABLE “ column
3. I should compare both the FROM_CLAUSE and DB_TABLE column for DUPLICATE VALUES
4. After doing this I should add the result to the “FROM” in the select statement
5.The table name should not be repeated from the "FROM"
I am expecting the code and a positive reply from you.

I'm waiting for the code the last 10 minutes and none arrived. What's happening? Developers, do my work, please! (ironic sentence)

Solving corrupt dynamic memory problem

Using LabWindows/CVI 2010, Windows XP. I have a data acquisition program that uses a rather large number of dynamically allocated arrays as buffers. The buffers are used to hold data from DAQmx and are passed and copied to a number of thread-safe queues and other routines. In certain circumstances, when I free one buffer I get a "dynamic memory is corrupt" error, which probably means - from reading the other posts on this topic on this forum - that some buffer was written past its end and corrupted the dynamic memory linked list. Is there any good way to determine exactly <i>which</i> buffer was corrupted? I don't believe that it was the one that I get the error on, it was probably the previous or next one in the chain. I can see the memory chain in the resource window, but I'm not sure how to interpret it.

Hi pblase,
Here is an KnowledgeBase article that was written for LabWindows\CVI 6.0 but it still has some valid suggestions for debugging in LabWindows\CVI 2010:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C8625632500692F41?OpenDocument
There are three valid suggestions to debug from this article. The only one that does not work still is the Run » Dynamic Memory feature.

[SOLVED]JDBC Dynamic credentials problem

Hello everyone. I have been trying to implement Steve Muench example 14 about JDBC Dynamic Credentials on my own web app., I am using Jdeveloper 10.1.3.2 and JSF/ADF.
The thing is that the JDBC dynamic credential works well but when I enter a non-existant username/password the login.jsp page sends me to the main.jsp page and in the table that I have placed there (in the main.jsp page) it shows "Access Denied". Is there any way to tell the app. to redirect the users to the login.jsp page if they try to acces other parts of the app. and they are not logged in???, or is it thay I am missing something from the Steve Muench's example???
I have been cheking the "DynamicJDBCBindingFilter.java" code and, if I understand correctly ('cause I consider myself a newbe), the "super.doFilter(request, response,chain)" is suppoused to throw an exception if the authentication fails and the "catch" code then sends the user to the login.jsp page... but for some reason this doesn't work!!!
Can anybody help me on this one please?
Thanks.
* By the way, no errors are thrown!

Hi Frank, thanks for your response. That same idea crossed my mind but the thing is that the line "super.doFilter(request, response,chain);" is supouseded to throw an exception if it fails to do its job but for some reason it does not... I have placed a "System.out.printline("XXX");" line inmediatly after the "catch" statement to see if an exception is thrown but apparently it doesn't, so I can't set a flag if I don't know for sure if the process ended well (or wrong).
I think I'll clear my mind for 1 hour and start all over again... maybe I am missing something...

[Solved] 'Best' way to install programs?

I was wondering what the arch Linux community thought the best way to install things is.
I was wondering if compiling things from source would be better in some cases then using Pacman, I'm sure I read that you prefer people to install from source, when I was reading the tex live wiki. Now I could have been wrong, read something wrong or just not understood.
I'm sure this makes the program faster, and makes me be able to install them to my every need, but then is updating and keeping them up to date problematic? Should I install OpenGL and mesa from source, and leave the rest like Firefox to Pacman?
I am new to Linux, and haven't compiled anything from source, and would like to know how to.

There are two good ways to install TeX Live. One is to use pacman. The other is to use the upstream installer.
Can you please show me what you are referring to?
I didn't know about the TeX having it's own installer, it's just as I read this when I was installing it last time: `Installing TeX Live manually honors the Arch Way in that it gives you much more control and lets you understand the process.`
After being told about PKGBUILD, this makes much more sense as I read it as compile from source, rather then alternate ways like this.
The 'install manually' is referring to using upstream's installer. It is not talking about compiling the binaries from source.
For details of the options offered by upstream, see http://www.tug.org/texlive/. If you have a reasonable network connection and are not planning to install on more than a couple of machines, the network installer is probably the best option. The 'quick installation' instructions are useful but you will want to refer to parts of the full installation documentation as well if doing this for the first time.
I recommend accepting upstream's defaults for the most part. In particular, I recommend using the 'full' installation scheme unless you are short of disk space.
I also recommend *not* installing as root. This is also in line with upstream's recommendation. What I did was create a new user and group (texlive:texlive). As root, I also created the directory /usr/local/texlive and made sure it was owned by the texlive user. Then I logged in as that user to install. This works well. Neither the installer nor later use of the utilities can touch your home directory or system files. There is no downside to this - it is no less convenient than having the installation owned by root. So you gain a security benefit for no cost. (Or minimal cost: you have to create a single user and group, make one new directory and chmod that directory appropriately.)
# adjust options as desired
useradd -d /usr/local/texlive -m -g texlive -r -s /bin/sh texlive
Set a password for the new account, and check ownership and permissions on the new directory:
drwxr-xr-x 7 texlive texlive 4.0K Meh 26 02:14 .
Then log in as texlive and install.

Looking for the best dynamic chart utility

Hi-
I'm creating a piece of software which extensively uses dynamic charts. The charts I'm using need to be updated atleast twice a second with over 10000 points on them. I've tried using jfreechart but its just too slow. I'm running a 900mhz c3 processor w/ 256 megs of ram on slackware linux 9.1. Does anyone know of a faster dynamic chart utility?
-thanks

Just a thought.
I make svg 'templates' holding all the static parts of the graph and then at run time add to the DOM for example at a polyline representing (x,y) data. Extremely light weight.
This is also in preparation for sending DOMFrags across the net to update a dynamic part of a display running on a client.

[SOLVED] Best language for coding games

Hi All,
My son has been learning BASIC-256 and he's interested in writing games. Can someone recommend a programming language useful for that purpose. He's young so easier would be better than harder but he's quite determined so I'd be interested in knowing what people are using nowadays as the hot gaming language.
Thanks
Last edited by Frabato (2012-05-19 01:14:40)

Thanks to everyone for the thoughtful replies. It looks like many are in agreement that python might be a good step up from BASIC-256. I did some reading but I would appreciate some clarification on which version to use, python, python2 or python3 (I really don't understand how significant the differences are). As companions to python many things have been mentioned: blender, allegro, SDL, PyGame, Löve, SFML, Python-Ogre and PyGTK. Any thoughts on which of these might be the easiest to deal with, (or none)?
Daedalus1 wrote:For a beginner writing 2d games, python2 would probably be the best choice.
You could also use PyGTK to make games since all you really need for a 2d game is a way to draw graphics.Python is a good "gateway language" to more advanced languages, and it's useful for scripting so it has it's uses even if he moves on to the next tier.
That sounds pretty good.
bananaoomarang wrote:Certainly Python with Pygame would be good for starting out right now, Love looks awesome to, though I find Python easier to read than Lisp, just a personal opinion.
Thirty five years ago when I was at university studying music composition, one of my music teachers was also teaching a class on Lisp (lots of irritating silly parentheses) I took the class and for the good of all I decided to stick with music. Actually, I've been enjoying learning BASIC-256 with my son, maybe, after all these years I should take another look at Lisp.
drcouzelis wrote:I realized a few years ago that my hobby isn't "making video games". Instead, it's "programming video games". In the former, there's more focus on creating a fun game, creating the graphics, and doing everything as simply and easy as possible with the single goal of having a finished video game. In the latter (the one I enjoy), I don't care that in the past 12 years I've never finished making a video game. I enjoy tinkering with fairly low level graphics engines, implementing simple physics, and seeing the game come together one small piece at a time. I enjoy the programming.
Very good point, I've noticed that even though my son constantly thinks (and talks) about the details of his game creation, he seems to also enjoy just playing with BASIC-256. I also can relate to this as a composer, thinking and conceptualizing about the organization of sound has brought me as much pleasure as finishing a composition. Process rather than goal orientation.

I'm retired and there are only 6 more days of school here (we live in the Phoenix area and they have to stop the school year in May, otherwise the children would end up being just little charcoal blobs on the playground) so I'll have lots of time to work with my son through the summer.

[SOLVED (maybe)] Dynamic SquashFS image

Is a SquashFS Image with dynamic capacity/allocation possible (similar to the virtual disks in vms being dynamically allocated)
Here's my situation and why I want what I do:
I have a file server with 12TB of total storage, roughly halfway filled. I keep backups of customer files on this server, in addition to my personal files - I like to keep my customer's files in a luks encrypted image - for their security, and mine. Some of my personal files are stored in this encrypted image, as well as directly available on the server. The server is starting to get filled up so I want to try and save a little space. As the customer files are usually either text files (around 200gb of them right now) or disk images of degrading disks etc.. I could potentially save a large amount of data using compression - unfortunately I need to be able to access the files directly, on the fly, and edit them as required, so tossing them in archives isn't really an option.
Can I create a Squash image that has an initial size of ~10mb or so, and have it expand to contain any and all data I toss at it? So that the on disk size is as small as required? This way I can mount the squash image, and then mount the contained Luks encrypted image. The Luks encrypted image is currently 1TB, with roughly 50% of it free space, not including the free space contained in the raw image files. This makes it 1TB on disk, when it could be probably around 150gb or lower.
EDIT:
Totally spaced sparse files... since the native filesystem supports them I should be able to create a sparse file 1TB in "size", do a "quick" format to squashfs and copy data to it with it expanding up to (but not exceeding) the total desired size.

[SOLVED] Best drivers for an Nvidia 8600GTS?

Hi all. I installed Arch for the first time over the weekend. Everything went smoothly until it came time to start X - could never get it to work. I tried lots of different remedies (installing nvidia drivers from the repositories, installing the driver supplied by Nvidia themselves, blacklisting Nouveau, etc.). Nothing worked, and I think now the best thing is to start over clean and try to find where I went wrong (as there's a good chance I've done more harm than good in the process).
So as I nuke and reinstall, I'm wondering which driver will be best for my c. 2006 Nvidia 8600GTS card. Should I install the arch nvidia drivers with
pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-libgl libvdpau
or should I use the driver supplied by Nvidia? And if I go with the Nvidia-supplied driver, do I leave nvidia-utils, nvidia-libgl and/or libvdpau, or does it replace those, too?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
Last edited by jmatthewturner (2014-06-02 14:48:41)

First of all, please, read through the related Wiki pages.
The arch nvidia drivers (packages: nvidia, nvidia-utils, etc) are the ones supplied by nvidia, maintained and packaged by the arch maintainers and packagers.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
The open source driver is called nouveau.

[SOLVED] Windows Dynamic Disk support?

Hi everyone,
My question is, if it anyone knows how it is possible to mount Windows spanned drives, so I have access to the Windows data under Arch?
I am using Arch / Windows 8 dual boot with 3 drives. One SSD where the base systems are installed, and two 1TB HDDs, which I mirrored under Arch (2x700GB). I then spanned the remaining free space of the 2 drives to one dynamic disk under Windows 8.
I am also a bit confused, because of the different output of fdisk -l and lsblk -f, as the /var and raid partitions are not visible in the fdisk output and also the recognized filesystems are different? Is there a reason for that?
fdisk -l

Hmm, is this for sure? Because I read that some people managed to do it.
I followed this ubuntu how-to http://bigli.ch/howto-access-windows-sp … th-ubuntu/ and after it didn't work, I tried it with mdadm (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833653):
mdadm --build -l 0 -n 2 -c 64 /dev/md128 /dev/sdb3 /dev/sdc2
Anyhow, both ways let me create a Volume but I am not able to mount it.
EDIT: I got 2 different error messages, when I am trying to mount it:
#1
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/md128 /media/Win8Volume/
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/md128': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/md128' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way around?
#2 ( after rebuilding the array with switched devices)
# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/md128 /media/Win8Volume/
ntfs_mst_post_read_fixup_warn: magic: 0x61592c70 size: 1024 usa_ofs: 50934 usa_count: 14904: Invalid argument
Record 0 has no FILE magic (0x61592c70)
Failed to load $MFT: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/dev/md128': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.
