System speedup questions

First of all, hello to all the community, i'm a new user in Arch linux but no so new in linux. I've being using
ubuntu linux since 4 yerars or so. I've changed to Arch linux because its speed and because I wanted to
learn more about linux and I thought Arch linux is a good distro for it.
In my search to learn I started compiling packages from sources and recently I dare to compile a customized
kernel. I used the makepkg methode and I achieved to do it with allmost all the modules I think my Inspiron
6400 Core Duo T2400 needs. The problem is that I havent seen a boot speed improvement, and here come
the question, what else should I do?
BTW.: Yes tried to follow the wiki pages (mkinitcpio, udev, ....)

Any suggestions ?
Thank you in advance

Well I have a possible suggestion but it might not be the kind you want/would like: give up on the idea that running a custom kernel and building everything from source will improve your boot speeds or general system responsiveness, perhaps I should say "especially when using Arch Linux".
As an X-Gentoo user I can tell you that notable speed advantages of a source-based distribution are a myth. FWIW I doubt Arch shipping i686 rather than i484 packages actually makes *too much* of a difference.
When I installed Arch Linux (comming from Debian) I was quite stunned by the rapidness of the boot sequence, but I "blame" the init system.
P.S.: We (you and me) seem to be running Arch Linux on nearly the same hardware (nearly the same laptop) HUHU!

System Copy Questions R/3 4.6c + Oracle + Solaris

dear gurus
goal system copy in R/3 4.6c + Oracle + Solaris
I am doing the db export using R3SETUP (quite slow, I have optimize it using split SRT files method)
I have questions here..
when I do export I download latest R3szchk, R3load, R3SETUP, R3check, R3LDCTL
I download from
Support Packages and Patches - Archive - Additional Components - SAP Kernel -SAP KERNEL 64-BIT - SAP KERNEL 4.6D 64-BIT
R3szchk, R3load, R3check, R3LDCTL using SAPEXEDB_2364-10001132.SAR (Kernel Part II for Stack Q1-2008)
R3SETUP using R3SETUP_29-10001132.CAR
source system : Oracle 8.1.7 - R/3 4.6C - Solaris 9
my question is
target system : Oracle 10.0.2 with patches - R/3 4.6C - Solaris 10
later on when i do import to target system, should I use the same kernel when I do the export, or should I use the one from
Support Packages and Patches -> Additional Components -> SAP Kernel -> SAP KERNEL 64-BIT -> SAP KERNEL 4.6D_EX2 64-BIT
another question
how to speed up the export ? i am stucked with bottle neck in IO, CPU usage is very low, please dont recommend me something related to hardware or disk architecture, if possible recommend me something related to Oracle parameter.
disk IO using IO stat showing 100% busy and service time 800-1500
thanks !

Yes - use that one. It uses the Oracle instantclient instead of the old 9.2 client. Make sure you add "-loadprocedure fast" to the load options, this will enable the fastloader.
Make also sure you install all the patchsets and interim patches BEFORE you start the data load.

if you disk I/O subsystem can´t deliver more than you are lost with Oracle parameters.

NonSAP client- SOAP- PI- ABAP Proxy- SAP Business System EOIO Question

Hey all... wondering how and if the following can be accomplished
I have a nonSAP client that is sending SOAP message pairs to PI 7.11 SP06. PI is then sending these messages via ABAP Proxy to our SAP business system. By pairs I mean for each event in the client it's going to send 2 messages to PI and then to SAP business system. These messages have to be processed by PI and SAP in the exact order the client sends them.
My goal is to have the client somehow specify the queueID and quality of services as EOIO when it calls PI via the SOAP message. The reason is when the client sends 1 set of messages we don't want it to block subsequent message pairs if something goes wrong with the first. We're going to have an "ID" as part of the queueID that will be unique by pair.
My question: is it possible to specify this queueID (and the qos=EOIO) in the SOAP message that is sent to PI so this queueID carries through PI and into the SAP business system?

hi,
you can do that :
a) in standard with http adapter :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/43/64db4daf9f30b4e10000000a11466f/content.htm
with &queueid=<queueid>
b) not in standard with SOAP adapter

Michal Krawczyk

Mac system font question!

I'm working on a Mac. American Typewriter comes with the computer as a system font. I've created a logo with this font. The client would like me to include the font in the "packaging" of the logo. Is this okay? It will be used in print, online and TV.

That is not a question that we can not readily or authoritatively respond to here since the font in question was not licensed from Adobe.
The American Typewriter fonts bundled with MacOS are indeed visible to and usable within Adobe applications. In fact, I did try creating an InDesign document using all six styles of that font on my Mac system. I also successfully exported PDF/X-4 from InDesign and the fonts embedded without a problem.
However, all that means is that Apple (or the foundry from which Apple licenses the font) have not put any physical security in place to prevent font embedding within PDF (or EPS or PostScript). That having been said, you would need to obtain the actual license for the font from Apple to determine if they or their vendor has any restrictions against such commercial use.
If you had licensed the font from Adobe, the answer would have been that you could embed the fonts and use them as you described. You could not embed them in an HTML stream or with an application program for dynamic use (such as with an iOS or Android application). But as part of a static logo, you would be good to go.
You need to see if Apple has its font licenses on its website to ascertain what their restrictions, if any, are. If the license is not on their website, you may need to contact Apple's legal department.

System.out vs System.err questions

Hello,
System.out and System.err both seem to direct regular and error output to the stdout. I have the following questions:
1. I used System.setOut() to direct regular output to "Output.txt" and System.setErr() to direct errors to "Errors.txt". I purposely made the program to throw some exceptions, wanting to redirect them to "Errors.txt". It did not work. My question is "What kind of errors setErr() would direct to an error file?"
2. Without using setErr(), errors go to stdout. My question is "Does Java hava a configuration file I can configue to direct regular output to stdout, but errors to a user-defined file such as errors.log?"
Thanks!

I see the stack trace in file err.txt:
import java.io.*;
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws FileNotFoundException {
        System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("out.txt"), true));
        System.setErr(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream("err.txt"), true));
        System.out.println("<stdout>");
        System.err.println("<stderr>");
        throw new RuntimeException("here we go");
}

Editing system build questions

Hi everyone,
I'm building a computer to use for video editing and graphic design. I'm a moderate level user of Adobe's CS5 package...mainly Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop and Illustrator. I have some hardware questions that I was hoping to run by those who know more than me:
1) Processor: do you prefer the AMD Phenom II X6 1055T or the Intel i7-930 chip?
2) OS: Can Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit work, or should I upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit?
3) Hard drive configuration: I'm a bit confused about how to configure my hard drives for this system. I'm thinking of purchasing three 1Tb 7200 RPM SATA hard drives. Which of these options would be preferred, or do you suggest another alternative?:
Option 1:
hard drive #1: OS and programs
hard drive #2: media and project files
hard drive #3: scratch disc and export destination
Option 2:
hard drive #1: OS and programs
hard drives #2 and #3: configured as RAID 0 and containing all the media, project files, scratch disc and exports
Thanks in advance for the help!
Mike

You also need to consider motherboard brand and model, amount of memory, size of power supply, cpu cooling and case
Asus P6 is used a lot... the exact model will depend on just what features you need
12Gig memory is good, since 24Gig is still very expensive
If you are going to use RAID with several drives, a 1000watt power supply, otherwise an 850watt should do
Even if you are not going to overclock, get a good cpu cooler so your Intel chip will last longer
A case with lots of cooling is required
Right now, the graphics card most often recommended is the nVidia GTX 470

Clone system-unanswered questions

Hello.
I neer to clone my system drive (mountain lion) and then upgrade the cloned copy of my system drive to mavericks so I can test it out and make sure I am happy with its performance on my mid 2010 Mac Pro.
From what I gathered I can just pop in a same size internal harddrive into one of my Mac Pro harddrive bays and run carbon copy cloner and then just clone the drive.
Where its gets a little hazy for me is, what happens after you have cloned the system drive.
When booting up with a system drive and cloned system drive in the same machine, from which drive will the Mac Pro actually boot up from when restarting? Will I be asked Where to boot up from? Also could I just remove the original system harddrive from its bay and keep the cloned system drive inside and will the Mac pro then boot as per usual? It's also important to mention I have a password on my Mac Pro that I must type in for any new installs and for logging in, also not sure if this plays any role in complicating things?
is there anything I should be made aware of regarding cloning a system drive that is commonly left unsaid?
Thank you to the soul who took the time to help another one, it certainly makes a difference and it is appreciated.

Thank you Niel.
So to avoid the blinking question mark of death, should i after the cloning process just go and set the clone as the startup drive, shut down, remove the original system drive and reboot and then it will boot up ok from the newly appointed system clone?
Also can I give the cloned drive a different name? I mean how will I know which is which after the cloning if it gets cloned using the same harddrive name? For example can I clone my system drive but name it Mavericks?
There is no need to remove the original system drive. Just go into System Prefs and select the disk you want to use as your startup disk.
The drive onto which you want to clone your system can be named whatever you want ("Mavericks", "Guinea Pig"). Name it, then clone onto it. Or rename it after cloning.

System Requirements Question

I am using Elements 7 for my video editing, and am thinking of upgrading my camcorder to HD to take advantage of Prel7's HD capability.
Question is, do I need to upgrade my computer too.
Currently, my desktop CPU has a dual core Pentium 2.8GB processor with 2GB RAM, running under Windows XP.
The suggested system requirements by Adobe for HD transfer and editing with Prel7 call for a 3GB processor speed and 2GB RAM.
I seem to have enough RAM, but can anyone tell me if the dual-core 2.8's will be enough to handle HD transfers and editing?
Thanks everyone.

Hunt - you said I could burn the project to a blu ray folder "for later" - but I can't see that option in the "Share" menu. It doesn't give me an option to burn to a folder under Blu Ray, unlike under the DVD option. Am I missing that?
Mike,
Unfortunately, I may have mispoken, regarding the capabilities of PrE to Burn to Folder for BD. I do not use PrE for my authoring, preferring to use Adobe Encore. I do seem to remember comments that PrE 7 cannot Burn to Folder for BD. I apologize for that. OTOH, one can Export from PrE and use a more powerful authoring program for the DVD/BD production. Adobe Encore is no longer available as a stand-alone, and is only bundled with CS3 & CS4 PrPro. However, Sony's DVD Architect gets some high marks for authoring. Steve Grisetti, MOD here and on Muvipix, has written a book about using DVD Architect. He would know of its capabilities regarding the ability to Burn to Folder for BD. As I only use Encore, I do not test a lot of other software, regardless of how good these might be.
Sorry that I confused Encore with PrE7. My bad.
As for the "quality loss" when down-rezing your HD material to SD - there are three things to think about:
1.) just the loss in resolution going to the smaller sized Project, i.e. from HD down to DVD-Video (big difference)
2.) the methods that Adobe NLE's use to down-rez - this is what Dan Isaac's article is all about *
3.) one's player's abilities and methods to then up-rez SD material to be viewed on an HD TV - can be big differences in the algorithms used by each player and player type.
Good luck, and thanks for both posting your findings and correcting me.
Hunt
* This is not that much different than resizing stills in PS vs letting the NLE do it. There are many of the same types of considerations

System reinstall question

i've got a (new) late 2011 macbook pro, bought it on sale at future shop. when i did the migration data transfer assistant from my old mac to the new one, something got messed up. so now i have to wipe my late 2011 macbook pro clean and start fresh. i'm not quite sure how to do this since the old os versions always came with a cd.
i have a mountain lion installer on a thumb drive. can i boot my 2011 macbook pro from the thumb drive and use disk utility to reformat and then install a clean system directly from the thumb drive?
sorry for the newbie questions.

Boot into recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, reinstall Lion, and on first boot follow the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide to migrate properly. This assumes you still have the old Mac.

System Architecture Question

I'm trying to figure out the current system architecture of a potiential client.
All I know is that they're running a JSP web application on Apache Tomcat against a MySQL database.
1. If they're running Apache Tomcat does this mean they are not using EJB?
2. Is it true they could be using an application server as well as Apache Tomcat?
3. What is the best possible system architecture if running only Apache Tomcat against an MySQL database?
I know these questions are vague, but I'm trying to understand the best possible JSP design without using EJB.
4. Will there still be a layered approach?
Thank you,
Todd

1. If they're running Apache Tomcat does this mean
they are not using EJB?According to your information, it seems that they are not using EJBs. Tomcat does not handle that part of the J2EE specification.
2. Is it true they could be using an application
server as well as Apache Tomcat?A "full" J2EE application server would furnish the same functionality.
3. What is the best possible system architecture if
running only Apache Tomcat against an MySQL database?JSP, servlets, and POJC (Plain Ol' Java Classes). Possibly a Singleton or two to act as database "handlers" for connection pooling, etc.
I know these questions are vague, but I'm trying to
understand the best possible JSP design without using
EJB.Don't use JSPs for anything except display logic (View). Use Servlets for processing (Controller) and POJC for data access (Model).
4. Will there still be a layered approach?In my opinion, kind of - you're still operating in the Servlet container, which has it's own rules regarding class behavior.

XP system recovery question

When starting the XP System Recovey process, the first screen states that all my data will be lost. I have a linux partition on the machine that I want to keep intact. The question is: Will the recovery process destroy my linux partition?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have the option to Recover without changing the hard drive partitons? IF so then you can more than likely do this without losing the Linux partiton (although you will need to re-install your GRUB). If you don't have this option then it will wipe out everything.
See http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/PMA500339010_web.pdf for details.

System Keychain Question

Since purchasing my macbook pro three years ago there has been two certificate entries in the system keychain that are marked with a red-x...meaning they are self signed certificates. One is com.apple.kerberos.kds and the other is called com.apple.sysdefault. I just assumed this was normal. So, since creating an iCloud account there are multiple problems with the login keychain always asking to unlock it for just about every application opened.
I was just wondering if the red-x certificates in the system keychain could be causing this or is it just something going on with iCloud. I talked to applecare technical support and they said I need to change the trust settings on these system keychain certificates, but was not sure why, so, I did and the applications are still asking for the login keychain unlocked everytime I open one.
Is anyone else experiencing this?

sorry, lost track of this thread.

No problem. I was going to follow the instructions to the "T." I just wanted to make sure about the "short user name" since the steps outlined had hyphens in between the words.
It did work. Thanks for the instructions!! Saved me a lot of headaches of doing and archive and install. Just a few more follow up questions...
1. Does it make sense to create a second admin account as back up or would that get hosed too?
I always keep a second admin account just in case. however, this would not have helped you in this particular case because the problem was with the whole admin group not with any individual accounts in it.
2. I am pretty much the only person using the computer. Is it better that I created a "Standard" account to work in and leave the admin alone? The only minor inconvenience is that I would have to type the admin login and password every time I need to install or change things that are on an admin level.
this is often recommended for more security.
3. Disabling the root user (System Administrator). Rebooting off the Mac OS X Install CD, if select "Disable Root User" from the menu will it still retain the password?
you can disable root user using directory utility without booting from the install dvd. the root password will NOT be retained.
You also mentioned the option to reset the root user account?
? I never said that and there is no such thing as "root user" account. Not sure what you are talking about here.
Is that the option in the same window pane at the bottom that starts off with "Reset file permission and access control lists (ACLs)..?
no this has nothing to do with root.

Getting NEW Monitor for my P6-2133W AMD APU System--Few Questions?

Hi All
Getting an HP 20 Inch 1600x900 Monitor, and wondering if i'll have any lag in games, or anything, going from a 17inch 1280x720 size screen? I know it's a big jump, and when i bought this machine in June didn't check out any monitors then.
Some friends of mine are saying gaming will be terrible on this APU system, and laggy as can be with new monitor, so a little worried now, Monitor arrives tomorrow
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Here are the specs for your HP Pavilion p6-2133w Desktop Computer. According to the specs, this model uses an AMD A6 3620 Processor w/ integrated Radeon™ HD 6530D graphics. Changing the monitor isn't really going to affect the graphics or cause lagging. The APU and its integrated graphics are where you may encounter an issue. The only way to overcome these potential issues is to install a more powerful APU (such as the A8-3850) or a discrete graphics card and power supply.

System configuration question for HD editing on new system.

I've been editing in premiere for close to 9 years but have stuck mostly to DV video. I recently bought Production Premium and wanted to jump into editing HD. Here is the system I installed the Production Premium CS4 on; (I will use Premiere, AE, and PhotoShop the most)
Processor: Intel Core i7 960 CPU
CPU Speed: 3.2Ghz
CPU Cores: 4
CPU Threads: 8
L3 Cache size: 8MB
Memory: DDR3-1333 (PC3 10666) 6GB Triple Channel (I will upgrade to 24GB once the price on the 4gig chips drops)
Motherboard: Intel x58 Chipset South Bridge: ICH10R Socket 1366
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD4890 1GB (Is this OK?)
OS Drive: Capacity: 1TB WD(Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit)
Speed: 7,200 RPM
Video Drive: 2 1TB Seagate Drives in raid 0 (mobo raid)
Speed:7,200 RPM
Buffer mem: 32mb
Additional Information: 24x DVDRW Double Layer, 700-watt power supply
I have two IDE 120gig WD drives I was thinking of putting in a raid 0 for the scratch. Would this be advisable? Would the IDE configuration be quick enough for this purpose? How much space should I dedicate to scratch (do I really need the full 240gigs)?
I will buy two more 1TB Seagate Drives for more video storage. would running all 4 of the seagate 1TB drives in raid 0 be beneficial for HD editing? or should I just create a separate raid configuration for those two additional drives?
(I will backup to a network drive(s) so I want the system itself to be built for speed [without getting obscenely expensive])
What is your opinion on addition hardware such as the matrox cards for help with HD editing? (I used the RT2000 with the DV editing and it was an "adventure" to say the least to get that one working right.)
Thanks,
-Tom T.

For some general information about RAID configurations, look here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263?tstart=0
As long as you can stuff 2 IDE drives in your case, go ahead and use those in a raid0 for a fixed pagefile of 8 - 12 GB and set your scratch to this raid. If you want to use this array for temporary storage of downloads, etc. no problem.
The two additional disks would be used best if you create either a 4 disk raid5 to have at least some redundancy or as spearate disks. One for projects, the other one for exports and your current raid0 for media. I would not advise a 4 disk raid0 because of the chance of disk failure.
I would not use anything Matrox, better to invest that in a good raid controller, so you will profit from the performance gain with all applications, or by increasing memory.

Hard drive and system recovery question - "No boot device"

I replaced a 320Gb - 5400 rpm drive that failed with a 750Gb - 7200 rpm drive. Using the HP System Recovery disks to reload the OS, once it goes through the restoration process the mb doesn't seem to recognize the hard drive and I get the "No Boot device" message upon rebbot. Unfortunately, the BIOS is not the best and it won't allow me to see if it actually recognizes the new hdd, which I suspect it doesn't - even though the Recovery Manager seems to . Either that or I have a bad MB.
Sytem information - HP G71-340US
Processor - 2.20 GHz Intel Core2 Duo Processor T6600
BIOS - InsydeH20 3.5
So even though Recovery manager *appears* to be installing W7 just fine, but it's a no go when it's time to actually boot to it, what is the problem? Is this a mb issue or did I just buy the wrong hd?

Well, a few reboots later and it seems the issue is no longer the mb or the hd. W7 is having a tough time though, and am now working on the second system restore, this time from the recovery partition, to try and get it to load fully. When I reinstalled from the System Recovery DVD the second time through, I skipped installing the third (driver) disk and that appeared to help. Just wish I could get the OS to comply. Maybe the third time will be a charm?
