yes,  but it's not the only big company behind linux: have a look at the bottom of the www.kernel.org page --- you can find HP there :-)
... i heard that there are 3 more spots of ibm for linux ... but i cant find them on the internet (one should have a basketball-player in it --- anyone knows more?)

  • The future of Linux looks thin - opinions?

    Matt Asay writes in TechRepublic that instead of a fat, multi-purpose distribution, Linux might evolve into a variety of thin, specialized distributions like CoreOS. What do you think?
    The future of Linux looks very, very thin - TechRepublic
    Rick

    There is an impressive map at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg, which shows all the Linux distributions and their offspring. I guess all these distributions had some idea where things should or would be heading. 90 % of these distributions I have never even heard off. If different distributions mean multipurpose, than Linux is the clear winner.
    In terms of providing a universal software solution, multipurpose plays a role in the end user market. Every vendor who sees their share in the desktop market is competing with smartphones and tablet computers, trying to get a piece of the cake. Multipurpose, as far as I'm aware, is historically a Microsoft philosophy. Other vendors, like Apple for instance, rather thought of creating special systems depending on devices. All these vendors will probably have to meet somewhere in the middle.
    The way I see it, Linux enterprise and server installations, and the same goes for all commercial Unix systems, are always optimized installations for a particular hardware, service and purpose. I think server installations are going to be more and more service optimized and multipurpose is going to be replaced by virtualization.

    No, the SCOM online UNIX/Linux MP stuff is only for OM 2007 R2.  All the latest UNIX/Linux MP(B)s for SCOM 2012 and above come from the link below. There are multiple download msi's so make sure you grab the one for your version of SCOM 2012.

    The current release is UR5 but UR6 will be coming out very soon, within the next week or two at the latest.
    Note that you can generally install the latest MP(B)s on lower UR versions of SCOM. We try to keep them independent but every once and awhile there are bits that require you to be at a specific UR on SCOM as well. We update the release notes with the details

  • How to run a server program in the background on Linux or Windows?

    I just finished writing a Java network application with multiple clients and one server.
    However, I am not sure how I can run the server (SomeServer.class) in the background on Windows. Also when I am running it on Linux, I don't want it to terminate when I logout of the Linux shell.
    To run the server on Linux, should I use a command like this?
    nohup java -cp . SomeServer.class > output.txt &
    Or is there another command, or perhaps some code that I can add to the program so that it would run in the background automatically and/or continues even when I logout of the Linux shell??
    Sometimes, I also like to run the program on a Windows XP machine for testing purpose. How can I do it so that it runs in the background without openning a Console/Command Prompt window??
    (redirecting the standard output to a file)
    And is there an easy way to create a EXE file that runs the program with the default JRE in windows?

    On many UNIX systems there's a utility called detach which will launch the following command in such a manner that killing the shell will not kill the process. On systems that lack this command, I'd find an open source implementation and install it.

  • Compilation error while generating the form in linux

    Hello everyone,
    I am using Oracle Designer ver10.1.2.4 in windows to generate the forms with standard object library ofgwebol.olb and template form ofgwebt.fmb. form (with both .fmb and .fmx files) are generated without errors.

    Form not created
    I think some standard library are missing in Linux environment. But I do not know the name of them and neither I can find. Please suggest the what need to be done to resolve the problem. The reason I am compiling the form in Linux is that I can run the form in windows because of corrupted installation of OC4j.
    Thanking you all much in advance.
    Edited by: Deepank on Dec 2, 2008 1:49 AM

    Deepank-
    When generating forms from Designer, Designer attaches libraries - like ofgmes.pll, ofgnavl.pll, etc. You will need to copy these libraries to the same directory where your forms reside on your Linux box. To find out what libraries ate attached to your form, open it on your windows PC after generating it from Designer and you will see the attached libraries. Also, watch out for the case-sensitivity of Linux. If you have the Designer libraries on your linux box and you still get errors, try changing the case of the names of the libraries.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is it possible to show the shell in linux from exec

    my app needs something to be installed on the client pc. It downloads the file and then install its automatically. For win this is working, fir the linux not, i can set the permissions, and when i try to launch it like
    String[] commands = {"/bin/sh","filename.bin"};
    Runtime.getRunTime().exec(commands);
    it starts, but it hangs. I think it's possible due to the fact that's there a license agreement in the bin file. when i true to install it manually, from the shell, it shows me the license agreement. i think that linux is waiting for input from the user and my prog hangs. so Is it possible to show the shell in linux from exec ??? so that the user can see the license agreement

    it is in fact the same as the bin file for installing
    java, when you extract that you see the license
    agreement and the user has to press enter to go on,
    that's the only input.
    You're right, i should read the out and err, i
    forgot, stupid of meYou have to send enter to the input stream of the process in that case.

  • Does not connect to the server. (Linux)

    I have the WTK installed and working(?) but when I try to run this .JAD/.JAR file, it works fine until trying to connect to the server. Then the app seems to hang and the power light on the phone sim turns off. Why would it do that? Do I need to set something in the WTK so it knows to use my internet connection? I can access the internet with the computer as I am posting from it now. The WTK does not seem to know I have an active connection and use it though. I know the .jar and .jad files work because they work with my windows WTK just fine. Did I miss something about requirements to run the WTK in Linux?

  • Unbreakable Linux error: That's not the correct Enterprise Linux CDROM

    I eagerly downloaded Unbreakable Linux (4 CDROMS) and tried to install it in a VMWARE (Workstation 5.5.1 build-19175) virtual machine.

  • Modifying the stock arch linux kernel and kernel timer frequency

    so if i understand correctly, if we want to modify the stock arch linux kernel, we have to pull it off of abs. ie "ABSROOT=. abs core/linux" then modify the pkgbuild, uncommenting out make menuconfig and setting the pkgbase name to something different than stock. ie, "linux-custom" then update the checksums followed by importing the gpg keys, ie "gpg --recv-keys 79BE3E4300411886 and gpg --recv-keys 38DBBDC86092693E" for the kernel and patches. then run makepkg -s.
    we can't just run make menuconfig on the current kernel that's installed?
    and if we pull the linux kernel from abs to customize, does it already come preconfigured with all the arch changes and settings? like its no different than the current one installed?
    i just ask because for the most part, i like the current arch kernel, there are just a few minor things i want to change but kept everything else the same as stock arch linux kernel.
    also, i herd arch uses 300hz for its timer. whats the benefits and disadvantage of using 300hz over 1000hz for a desktop system?

    orlfman wrote:we can't just run make menuconfig on the current kernel that's installed?
    No you can't, because the kernel then has to be compiled so the kernel will run with the different tick rate.

    As I understand it from the Wiki, the ABS pulls the PKGBUILD and other arch-specific sources from the ArchLinux script server. However, I don't use the ABS, but pull the files I need directly from the ArchLinux SVN and build using makepkg[1] after making the necessary changes.
    orlfman wrote:Also, I heard arch uses 300hz for its timer. whats the benefits and disadvantage of using 300hz over 1000hz for a desktop system?
    You're in for a technical discussion here. This has a reasonably friendly discussion on kernel tick rates.
    Basically, higher tick rates = a higher level of timing precision & higher processor load, lower tick rates = lower level of timing precision & lower processor load.
    [1] Technically, I use the clean chroot manager package, which is a wrapper for makechrootpkg (which in turn is a wrapper for running makepkg in a clean chroot if I'm not mistaken).

  • How do I stop the tracker in linux?

    How do I stop the tracker in linux? I can't find any obviously named process to kill and I have no use for this icon clogging up my system tray. Even when I set it to be invisible, it's still there on top of one of the items I DO use.

    As of now, it is called SynchronizerApp.  I think it has to be restarted if you've updated to point to libxul.so rendering library, which is only possible by killing it or restarting your computer.  This command will kill it.  Try without sudo if you don't have sudo priviledges, it should work the same if your user owns the process
    sudo kill -9 `ps -C SynchronizerApp -o pid | tail -1`

  • Fixing the skype for linux UI

    the skype for linux UI atm is a broken split UI. would be nice to see a more themeable UI. (somewhat offtopic: would also be nice to see a pure 64bit build)

    It should look the same as all the other apps.  Which is what most Linux users expect.  Qt does offer on-the-fly theming, so if someone feels adventurous they can change it; and indeed the lack of 64 bit often results in some missing themes and Skype running in not exactly the same theme as the rest of the desktop.  But otherwise, we shouldn't make Skype4Linux stick out like a sore thumb.
