Spotify 1.0.11 beta for Linux is out, with 32-bit binaries!

Hello Linux users!
Today we've released Spotify client version 1.0.11 for Linux. There are some big changes in this version, and it's still considered to be a beta release, and will be in beta until the items in the "known issues" list below are resolved. If you want to try out this version, installation instructions remain the same as for the other betas:
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
or if you have a previous version installed, simply:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Since the previous public release (version 1.0.9), we've made the following Linux-specific changes:
32-bit binaries are now available! Now users on i386 systems can try out the 1.x betas as well. Please reply to this thread with any technical problems that you encounter on that architecture.
libnotify is now an suggested package dependency. If you don't have that library installed, this feature will simply be unavailable.
Updated application icon in the spotify.desktop entry
GPU acceleration is disabled (see below)
This build ships with the following limitations, of which we are still currently working on:
Proper dbus support for MPRIS MediaPlayer2
There is no application menu
It is not possible to re-enable GPU acceleration through the settings
Important: regarding GPU acceleration, this is now completely disabled in the client, and we do not yet have a way to enable it in the preferences. This change was originally made in Chromium for Linux, but since the Spotify client uses CEF, we inherited this change from them. According to the Launchpad bug report, faulty GPU driver support was the single largest cause of crashes for Chromium on Linux (this graph shows how Chromium crashes on Linux have dramatically decreased after the setting was changed).
Depending on your hardware and GPU drivers, this change is either going to be a big annoyance for you or a huge blessing. For our users who experienced frequent and strange crashes with the client, this change will probably greatly increase client stability. For other users with certain video cards, scrolling performance and redraw rates may be noticeably choppier. Some users won't notice anything at all.
The obvious solution here is that our Linux client needs a toggle to manually re-enable this feature in the settings. Exposing this feature is not as straightforward as you might believe, or else we would have done it already. ;) However, we're working on a way to do just that, and hopefully will have something in place for the next beta release.

Thanks for your continued support for Linux! It _is_ appreciated! :) Any chance the queing over Connect is gonna be looked at soon? The windows client seems to only be able to queue one song. If there already is one song in the queue nothing happens when you try to add another (except for the weird reshuffling that happens whenever you touch the queue). And if there are more than 1 song queued, the windows client removes all but the first one. From Android it works almost always. This is the only complaint I have with the Linux version but it's kind of a deal breaker when using it soley as an headless music player.This sounds like a bug, and a non Linux specific one at that. I'll look into this, however there are some changes to the player stack which will also effect connect that we are just rolling out. These changes will not require a client update, so there is a chance that you'll notice this behavior "magically" fix itself in the upcoming weeks. Anyways this is not a known limitation from our end for Linux users, we will investigate this bug.Good. Controlling -> PlayingWindows -> Android: Queing in itself works. But the queue gets cleared when the first song in it starts playing.Windows -> Linux: As explained above.Android -> Windows: Queing in itself works. But the client shows information for the song directly after the queued songs.Android -> Linux: Queing in itself works. But the client shows information for the song directly after the queued songs. So ... abrakadabra? :)

Just need 1/8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right?

DJust need /8 inch to RCA for digital coax out with audigy se right? Hi there,
I need a low profile soundcard that can deli'ver digital 5. through either coax or optical, looks like the audigy se will do just that. I have a yamaha receiver with DTS, DD, etc with a coax input that I want to use. I want to confirm that all I really need is a cable that has an /8 inch plug for the blue digital out on the soundcard with an RCA end for my receiver.... sounds simple enough to me but I want to make sure. I know I can get the digital I/O module but don't see a point if I just need the cable I mentioned.
Thanks.

Let's take Battlefield 242 for example. The game will not allow me to specify hardware sound.
That would be because that card DOES NOT have any hardware on it, it is a totally software dri'ven card.
And yes your old Li've card is much better than the Audigy SE. The Audigy SE is nothing more than a re-named SB Li've 24 bit, which is also a software based card (same applies to the X-Fi Xtreme Audio, a POS card that should have never been given the X-Fi name).

Best WebCam for Linux to use with JMF

I am searching for a webcam for linux to stream video using jmf.
I have tried and used Logitech messanger, express, quickcam, and also Creative labs Ex Pro 5.
Each time I buy a another quickcam, Logitech changes the CCD. and the old drivers I use stop working.
Anybody have a well supported Linux WebCam with Linux drivers that they would like to share on how good of succes they have???

Hi,
Our project uses a Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000. It doesn't seem to have any problems. We are running Redhat Linux 9.0. Basically, I think that any camera that will work with Linux should work with Linux.
We also tried an Intel Home PC Camera, but that didn't work...

What antivirus is better for those who work with mac and windows?

In my home I use an iMac, but in college I use Windows, and more than once I found an infected file. I know not affect iMac, but I prefer that viruses are removed. Right now I use ClamXv, but I don't know if it is effective.
Am I to continue using ClamXv? or, do I use another?
If there are others better AV for mac, what is most recommended?
**I have also used Sophos, but it makes the iMac go very slow.
Thanks for your attention.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to your computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandboxing security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders," for example, are outside the safe harbor, though not all are malware.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
There is an increasing tendency for rogue websites such as "Softonic" and "CNET Download" to distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous installer that also installs malware or something else that you don't want. Never visit those sites, and get all freeware directly from the developer's own site whenever possible.
Software attached to email that you didn't request is unsafe, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
Software advertised by means of spam is unsafe.
Unknown "free" software that a stranger on the Internet is eager for you to download is unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will inevitably result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Doing any of the things alluded to above should make you uncomfortable.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. New threats are emerging on a daily basis. Research has shown that most successful attacks are "zero-day" — that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based malware scanners do not defend against such attacks.
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not completely effective. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular trojan it is, but do you really care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every unknown email attachment until proven otherwise.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. "Hmmmm, this torrent is a crack of that new game I want. I think I'll download it. It could be a trojan, but the antivirus will warn me if it is." Then they wonder why their Mac is so slow all of a sudden. It's slow because it's running flat out mining bitcoins for a hacker who has already sold their credit card number and banking passwords to a criminal gang. Maybe a week later the antivirus does warn them, but what good does that do?
Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Special character ($) for Linux giving problems with script

Hi.
Trying to use a script that will check status of log sequence on two databases:
sqlplus -L system/pwd@string <<END_SQL
spool standby_monitor.txt replace
select sysdat from dual;
select max(sequence#)from v$log_history;
spool off
exit;
END_SQL
The problem is that Linux doesnt like the $ sign and when the script is run returns "table or view does not exist". (after i place the $ in the script the name of the table goes purple).
There is clearly a need to substitute the v$ - I have tried inverted commas but to no avail. I have tried putting this in a separate sql script then calling that but still same issue.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks.

How do I install Elements for Windows 7 PC with 64 bit? Get error message - file archive part missing

We purchased Elements 12 and Premiere Elements 12 on September 7, 2014 and have tried a variety of things including searching through FAQs on the Adobe site, etc. etc. and cannot get our downloads to work. We are avid computer users and have never had problems downloading software before.
From our account under "orders" - I have tried clicking on the Akamai download manager and the Alternate Download Method on for each application with the same results.
We have a Windows 7 PC with a 64 bit operating system and Internet Explorer 11.
On all attempts we get an Adobe screen with 2 links – 1 for a file ending in .7z and a 2nd file ending in .exe.
I click on the first file and confirm the download completes at 100% (not paused, etc.) and is in the downloads folder for my user name on the PC.
I click on the 2nd link for .exe and I receive the error message below – 2nd screen shot – “file archive is missing” all folders/files must be in same folder.
So I see it’s a winzip file (as a winzip pop up folder had come up also) so I download the free version and unzip the files in the same downloads folder under my user name to try that.
I click on .exe file link again and same message. I tried copying the files directly to the downloads folder (as they all unzipped into a subfolder called PSE 12 and tried clicking on .exe again but get the same message.
For Premiere I tried the same and got same results on the 64 bit version download.
I do not know how to access the software we purchased.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Also - if anyone knows how I can contact Adobe for a full refund so I can just buy the boxed software instead - that would be helpful as well as that is not easy to find online either.
Thanks!

How do I set a landscape mode for my print out with the CNIreport?

I am using CNIReport and I was wondering how to set a landscape mode when printting?

There is a property of the CNiReport object called "Orientation". You just set that property to Landscape using the enumeration provided in the CNiReport class. Here is an example with the full path to the enumeration value:
m_report.SetOrientation(NI::CNiReport::NiReportsPageOrientation::NiReportsLandscape); //m_report is the CNiReport object

QVPN for Linux?

Is there a QVPN Client equivalent for Linux?
After some struggles, I have QVPN 1.4.1.2 working properly on my laptop, and when running under Vista it will connect to my WRVS4400N. However, I run Ubuntu Linux most of the time (it's a dual boot laptop) and it would be great to have a native QVPN clone for Linux that works with the WRVS4400N.
QVPN running under under Linux Wine will connect but it requires an IP address (vs. a domain name) to connect, and once connected it fails with ping problems. I have QVPNworking properly in an Oracle Virtualbox Linux Host and a Vista Guest machine, but as always Vista is slow, buggy, etc.
I have explored the various options inside the Linux network connection manager, (anyconnect, VPNC, StrongSwan, OpenVPN, PPTP) and none of them offer the same sort of username, password, and certificate mechanism that it required by QVPN and the WRVS4400N.
So does Cisco or any other supplier have a QVPN clone / equivalent for Linux that will work with the WRVS4400N?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but I'd rather not purchase a VPN client when linux has a number of opensource cllients available. What I am lacking is any documentation or guidance from Cisco regarding how to configure a linux client. Are you familiar with the linux network manager applet? see: http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ It supports the following VPN types:
Cisco Anyconnect Compatible VPN (openconnect) ~ compatible with Cisco Anyconnect SSL VPN
Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc) ~ compatible with various Cisco, Juniper, Netscreen, and Sonicwall IPSec-based VPN Gateways
IPSec/IKEv2 (strongswan) ~ IPsec with IKEv2 key exchange protocol
OpenVPN ~ Compatible with the OpenVPN server
Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) ~ Compatible with Microsoft and other PPTP VPN Servers
In reviewing these various client types, I am not sure which one to use, where to install the client certificate, etc. Some of these client methods require a specific flavor of 3DES, authentication, and other protocol/parameter settings. Excuse the rant, but Cisco is clearly remiss in not providing clients for all popular OS's, or at a minimum for not providing documentation that would enable the WRVS4400N VPN functions to be used with clients other than QVPN and OS's other than Windows.
In Windows, QVPN requres a username, password, server address, port, and installing the client certificate .PEM in the appropriate directory, disabling block WAN request in the router, etc. ~ but all of the protocols and configuration details that are being used are undocumented making it difficult to impossible properly use or configure a client other than QVPN.
Has anyone at Cisco (or a participant in this forum) used a Linux client to connect to the WRVS4400N? If so, how should it be configured?

What´s better for work CS6 video production, Nvidia 680GTX Classified $550 or Nvidia Quadro K5000 $1900? both whit 1536Cudacores and 4GBs VRam
I kow the diferences between cooling and power consuming but, there are other diference? What´s better for hardwork renders? with a K5000 i dont worry about cooling, but with that money i can buy 2 680GTX Classified of 4GBs each, and i want to know if Tesla work with the 680GTX.
I have a Windows 8 PC with i73770k,
Asus Z77
16GBs Ram
2T HD
and ´ll buy my SSD SATAIII, update to 32GBs Ram at 2200 and a videocard for work dynamicLink and rendering at the same time that i continue editing.
The software that i use is Cinema4D R13, 3DsMax 2013 Vray iRay and Realflow 5 and Adobe CS6 Video Production, i hope you guys can help me to decide what´s better for my work, i use all of this for Motion Design, video editing, 3D animation and Audio Production. Thank´s for reading...

Novell Client for Linux 2 beta & VMWare - bridged only?

OpenSUSE 11.1 with Novell Client for Linux 2.0 SP2 beta.
OpenSUSE is installed as a VMWare Workstation guest using NAT. When attempting to use contextless login, the Novell Client hangs. If you disable contextless login and then browse to the right context, you can login OK.
If you change the virtual NIC from NAT to Bridged, contextless login works fine. If at all possible, we need to use Bridged instead of NAT (long story).
Any idea what could be the problem? From what I can tell, SLP, DA, etc are set correctly, but I could be wrong.
Thanks.

Use NAT only if you need NAT - otherwise use bridged.

I was afraid that someone was goign to say something like that :)
We use port security hardware on our network, which will disable a port on the switch if it detects multiple MAC addresses on the same port. A virtual machine's bridged networking sets port security off and disables the port, so we have had to resort to NAT for all virtual machines. We can ask for exceptions to be made for a subset of our lab computers, but that is not an ideal solution.
Not only is that extra overhead for us to manage these exceptions, but we will not be able to realize our long-term goal of providing the virtual machine to our students to use on their personal notebooks since we cannot provide them port security exceptions.
I am still having problems grasping the reason that a contextless lookup (via LDAP, I assume) would misbehave while coming from a NATted connection but a bridged connection works fine on the exact same virtual machine. Shouldn't the communication between the VM and the LDAP server work properly either way??

WTK 2.5 beta (2) for Linux?

Hi,
just one question:
Why isn't there a Linux version of the WTK 2.5 beta? It supports SVG, and I need it for my project. I haven't Windows installed on my laptop. In addition to that, my project also uses Bluetooth (serverside is JavaSE) and the free JSR-82-implementations are all for Linux.
So, how / when can I (we?) get a WTK 2.5. for Linux?
Thanks!

I have read the wtk 2.5 faq. It says,
When will the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for CLDC be supported on platforms other than Windows?
A version of the Toolkit is available today and can be downloaded here - http://java.sun.com/product/sjwtoolkit/download-2_5_1.html .
Unfortunately when I follow the link it says, page not found. I am looking for the release everyday.

Spotify 1.0.11 beta for Linux is out, with 32-bit binaries!
