Support for 64 bit Linux

Hey macromedia/adobe
When can we have support for 64 bit Linux? The problem is
that most new hardware
is moving towards 64 bit architectures. We have a brand new
server, RedHat
Enterprise 4, coldfusion will not run on it.
Direct Contact: [email protected]

I couldn't agree more - it's insane that an enterprise
product isn't supporting x86_64 instructions in 2007.
On a more constructive note - does anybody out there have a
compiled connector for RHEL or CentOS 4.X, the 64 bit version? I
ask because I've found numerous pages on the web describing how it
works great for people after they compile it on their own. Well, I
can't get it to work. I have CentOS 4.4 x64, and I try to run this
script after successfully installing CFMX 7.0.2 by using the method
to sed out the checks for the right kernels, etc. Here is the
script I try to run inside the connectors/src directory:
/usr/sbin/apxs -c -n jrun20 -S
LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.c
jrun_maptable_impl.c jrun_property.c jrun_session.c
platform.c \
jrun_mutex.c jrun_proxy.c jrun_utils.c | more
/usr/sbin/apxs -i -n jrun20 -S
LIBEXECDIR=/opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/ mod_jrun20.la
strip /opt/coldfusionmx7/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/mod_jrun20.so
All the paths are correct, and when I run it I get about 1000
warning lines from apxs about invalid characters and such in the .c
file. Good times.
Can somebody tell me how the hell to get this to work on 64
bit CentOS 4.x? I'm going crazy here... and Adobe - GET OFF YOUR
***** AND PLEASE ADDRESS THIS ALREADY. IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE AMD
STARTED SHIPPING THEIR FIRST X64 BIT CHIPS.
This is approaching the no iTunes on Vista level of insanity

Will Firefox be adding support for .bit domains?

There is a new decentralized domain name system that has been built called namecoin. The problem is that no browsers support it currently so the only to view the domains is through complicated software or proxies. I am wondering if there are any plans on adding support for this system to Firefox?

Not directly as is looks like dns.bit is not working, but it looks like you need a proxy [http://dot-bit.org/HowToBrowseBitDomains#Use_a_DNS_server_that_support_.bit_domains]
Have you tried this?
Also Firefox will simply 'asks the system to resolve a fqdn'(ty Cork!)

Support for RH linux 5.3 or 5.4

Hi All,
In the supported platforms for BO 3.1 edge series & 3.1 enterprise, RH linux version supported is 5. I would like to know if RH linux 5.3 or 5.4 is officially supported or not?
Cheers,
AK

Hi
It is supported. .3 and .4 are just service packs and we do support them as per "compatible support". Meaning it is maybe not formally tested but we do troubleshoot related issues by extension of RH5 support.
See here for support policy details: https://service.sap.com/bosap-supportedplatforms

Or does it mean that I must pay Oracle in order to be able to get these packages in order to learn ASM at home ??
Why would Oracle allow us to use their RDBMS/RAC/ASM/Linux software at home learning for free and not supply the above two packages??If you want to use ASM for free, install Oracle Linux 5 Update 7 and download the RHEL5 oracleasmlib package from here:

Keep in mind that Database is NOT certified on Oracle Linux 6 anyway, so it is challenging to install. The very article you link to uses Oracle Linux 5. It also links to these very same RPMs. If you follow the article more carefully, you won't have any issues.

Lenguage Conversion support for LabVIEW Linux

Hi,
Is it possible to switch from one lenguage to another based on user selection on LabVIEW Linux.
The developed code will have option to choose lenguage.. Based on the lenguage selection my application should convert its lenguage.
Is it possible in LabVIEW???
is there any specific function???
Kindly reply

Absolutely. There are lots of ways to do it. I see three basic options, though:
1. Use import/export strings as mentioned here.
2. Use property nodes to change all the captions and displayed text on your front panel. This would probably only be a good option for very small applications.
3. Use a third party tool like this. This one is way over-priced, in my opinion. But I thought I recalled seeing other third-party tools.

Adobe Reader support for 64-bit Ubuntu systems

Any attempt to install any current version of Adobe Reader fails...
Usually with a "Wrong Architure - I386" message.
if you try to follow the "new" intructions for using apt-get you get the following...
sudo apt-get install acroread
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package acroread is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package acroread has no installation candidate
Two questions:
1.) Does Adobe have any intensions on supporting 64-bit Linux?
2.) Does anybody have any suggestions on how to get the reader to work on a 64-bit system?

Adobe Reader is 32-bit only, and so is the plugin. This may change some time in the future, but for now it's 32-bit.

Lack of true Ubuntu 64-bit support for Connect add-in

Dear Adobe,
This well-worn conversation seems to have been asked a few times before, and ignored a few times before, so you'll forgive me for re-opening it again.
I downloaded the 64-bit debian package of your Adobe Connect add-in yesterday from Adobe's website. Here it is sitting on my local disk:
$ ls ~/.shared/
total 540108
drwxrwxrwx 2 root     root          4096 2012-05-31 15:00 ./

-rw-r--r-- 1 root     root       4026194 2012-05-30 22:51 ConnectAddin64.deb
I then installed the package. However, when I tried to join my meeting, before the "Connecting..." screen appears with the progress bar, a blank white page flashed very briefly saying "Adobe Connect add-in not installed". Unsurprisingly, I wasn't able to join my meeting, and your online diagnostics site also confirmed that the add-in wasn't installed in my browser (Firefox 11).
Then, reading other users' tales of woe, I located and analysed the installed binary, and this is what I saw:
$ readelf -h /usr/local/connectaddin

This is a 32-bit binary. There is absolutely no mistake about it. And even though it is a GTK binary, it fails to work on a 64-bit system with 32-bit dual support due to the fact it appears to have the search paths to its libraries hard-coded into it:
$ export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0
$ ./connectaddin
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
(connectaddin:5416): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed
You notice how GTK_PATH is ignored. The path in the above message is where the 32-bit binary would be sitting if I were on a 32-bit native system. However, as I'm on a 64-bit system, my 32-bit libraries are in:

Will somebody please let us users know when Adobe will be (or won't be, for that matter) actually providing a true 64-bit linux version of their Adobe Connect add-in, instead of packaging the 32-bit version of the add-in in an archive that says 64-bit?
Thanks in advance,

That is the last supported player for Linux using the NPAPI. Chrome's new API, PPAPI, is still going to be supported in Linux, Mac and PC OS's and will have the current version of Flash Player for all those OS's.
Here is Adobe's statement regarding Flash Player on Linux OS's.
Adobe wrote:
Linux:
Adobe has been working closely with Google to develop a single, modern API for hosting plug-ins within the browser. The PPAPI, code-named "Pepper", aims to provide a layer between the plug-in and browser that abstracts away differences between browser and operating system implementations. You can find more information on the Pepper API at http://code.google.com/p/ppapi/.
Because of this work, Adobe has been able to partner with Google in providing a "Pepper" implementation of Flash Player for all x86/64 platforms supported by the Google Chrome browser. Google will begin distributing this new Pepper-based Flash Player as part of Chrome on all platforms, including Linux, later this year.
For Flash Player releases after 11.2, the Flash Player browser plug-in for Linux will only be available via the "Pepper" API as part of the Google Chrome browser distribution and will no longer be available as a direct download from Adobe. Adobe will continue to provide security updates to non-Pepper distributions of Flash Player 11.2 on Linux for five years from its release.
Flash Player will continue to support browsers using non-"Pepper" plug-in APIs on platforms other than Linux.
Adobe will be providing a debug player implementation of the Flash Player browser plug-in on Linux, and will update this document once there are more details on how it will be distributed.
The full release can be seen here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/roadmap.html

Oracle Soa Suite 11.1.1.7 for 32-bit Linux Machine

Hi,
Oracle on the download site (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/soasuite/downloads/index.html) for 11.1.1.7 provides me with these options:
* Microsoft Windows 32bit JVM
* Linux 64bit JVM
* Generic: 64bit JVM
My dev machine is Linux 32bit. Is Generic: 64bit JVM right for me? I know it says generic, but then it says 64 bit. And now I'm baffled.

Hi,
You can find here your answer:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/fusion-certification-100350.html
(Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.x))
From my understanding you can choose the 32-bit installation:
"If your Oracle Fusion Middleware components are running in a 64-bit JVM environment, ensure that WebLogic Server is installed with the 64-bit JDK or is using a supported 64-bit JDK on your system. You cannot mix components using a 32-bit JVM with those using a 64-bit JVM."

Which version of Workshop to use with WebLogic Server 10.0 for 64-bit Linux

I've downloaded and installed the 64-bit version of WebLogic Server for Linux. It is running on a 64-bit Xeon RHEL 5 machine with 64-bit Sun JVM.
During the install, I selected WebLogic Server and Weblogic Workshop but it appears that Workshop was not installed. Apparently, only the Runtime for Workshop was installed. I'm not really sure what good that does for me.
We need to use the Workshop IDE to develop apps. Is there a 10.0 version of Workshop for 64-bit Linux?

Hi Anup,
Maybe you should be a bit more specific about what you want to do. Coherence is just Java and has been supported WebLogic for years in the same way most other third-party Java libraries and APIs are. I first started using Coherence about four or five years ago with WebLogic 8.

NI GPIB driver support for linux 2.4

Is the NI linux GPIB driver compatible with the Linux 2.4 kernel? Does the NI linux GPIB driver provide a generic device interface (i.e. independent of LabVIEW)? I would like to access the driver using the POSIX interface (i.e. read/write/mmap etc.) via a standard device node (i.e. in '/dev'). We are looking to add a PCI-GPIB interface to our generic control and monitor system. The initial application will involve special purpose software interfacing with external test equipment (scope, power supply, etc.). The current platform is an Intel based industrial PC running Linux 2.4. This system will NOT be able to support data visualization via LabVIEW.

Unfortunately, the current BETA driver (0.6) released by NI does not support version 2.4.x of the Linux kernel. There are plans for support in the future but no timeline has been specified. I would suggest checking back with NI on occassion at http://www.ni.com/linux for the latest news and support of the Linux OS.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64 and other microssoft x64 OS-s.

BUG! Not system locale Filenames support for 32-bit applications error in Windows 8.1 x64.
All Windows x64 (XP,2003,2007,Vista,7,8) have no support for not system locale filenames|foldernames for all 32-bit applications. I think it is BUG!
For example, it is possible to read files|folders with French or Chinese in English locale windows installed, rename it, but it is not possible open it, edit or delete. (ERRORS: File not found OR Unknown format)
With using 64-bit programs no such problems. How does it works and how can I fix this? Is it problem with encoding in translating kernel instructions for 32-bit apps in x64 Windows OS's? Whether there are
solutions to this problem OR some hacks|fixes?

Have you installed the language package for French or Chinese?

Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
offer a total solution. Now they even can have
windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
doing with a mac.
I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.

Sun Cluster 3.1 64 bit support for Solaris 10

Hi:
I have some questions when migrate SC 3.1 from solaris 9 to solaris 10.
1) Does Clutster 3.1 for solaris 10 support 64 bit?
I have develop own resource type which is compiled with 64 bit mode, while cluster admin program is 32 bit based. E.g. /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm
Will that cause any problem? For instance: 32 bit lib and 64 bit lib have the same name libscha.so will be loaded by 32 bit scrgadm and 64 bit my own developped resource type program.
2) Can I download a Cluster 3.1 install-pkg for solaris 10, 64 bit supported., which means all admin files like scrgadm are 64 bit based.
Or only ONE Cluster 3.1 version for solaris 10 is deliveried by SUN?
Thanks in advance!

//rdctahu

Hi,
Comments on your 2 questions:
1) Yes. IIRC, SC31 for S10 actually supports ONLY 64 bit. To be clear, this means
Solaris has to be booted in 64 bit mode, but 32 bit applications would run just
fine.
As for your RT being 64 bit, and scrgadm being 32 bit, no problem.
2) See (1). You are good.
Go for it.
