Where do packages go?

When I need to upgrade or add a package I know what to do and how to check them. But I just tried to put in a typing tutor for my kids and I don't know where to look or how to get it working. I did pacman -S gtypist and it downloaded and installed with no problems. If I do a pacman -Q gtypist I find I have gtypist 2.7.1. If I try to find file I find it in usr/share and the executable file is in usr/bin. But I cannot find anything on the desktop or in any menu. This may be simple but I haven't installed a small program and tried to get it running. What do I do?

Run it from CLI. If it's not in the menu, it's probably because it doesn't come with a *.desktop file. If that bothers you, write one for it. Use the existing ones in /usr/share/applications as templates

Creative Cloud Enterprise: Is there a way to choose where the package temp files are downloaded?

I am an Enterprise Admin and have to use a Windows computer to download and create different Creative Cloud packages. The temp package files first download to the C:\ (system drive) and then the actual package in the location you specified; usually on another drive/partition. I have to make the C:\ partition (by re-partitioning) much larger than normal size in order to make temp package files to fit if I don't the C:\ drive fills up and the package creation just stops/fails with no messages displayed. Could an option be made to direct where you want the the temp package files to be held such as selecting a different hard drive/partition to store them?
I create both 32 and 64 bit CC packages.

Hi JohnBNO,
You can change the CC cache location. Please refer the article: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/packager/creating-packages.html.

Where to package

hi I'm gind of new to java and I was wondering after I add a file to a package with the "package" keyword where do I put it and do I compile it?

it was helpful but it didn't answer all my questions
where do you put the file?You can put it wherever it is convenient, as long as the directory structure and Classpath are correct. For example, you might want to keep the .class files separate from the .java files. For a Windows machine you could create a directory c:\myjava\myclasses and c:\myjava\mysources. Then put your projects into the mysources directory. You can use the -d option of javac to compile your code into the myclasses directory. If you put c:\myjava\myclasses into your system Classpath, then everything will work.
can you put it in the src.zip folder?I wouldn't. If you upgrade the j2sdk, then you will get a new src.zip. You can put packages into jar files.
do you have to compile it so it will be in the
package?By putting the package statement into the source code, it will be compiled as a packaged class. However, it must be in the correct directory structure to use the class. You can put the source into the right directory and the compiler will generate the .class file there. Or you can use the -d option of javac. Or you can manually move files to the right directory. As long as the .class file
can you put two package statements in the same file?No. Packages are used to manage access and namespaces. A class has a fully qualified class name which is used to uniquely identify the class. The fully qualified class name is the package name plus the class name.

Where to package my interfaces

It seems that the general rule to making a GUI application is to seperate the "Business Logic" from the "Presentation Logic". From this, I'm guessing I'll need to package all my GUI stuff together, and all the business logic layer stuff together.
The GUI will then talk to the Biz lay through an interface right?
This is not a single file right? Would this would be a set of interfaces all packaged together? If so, where is the most common place to package it?
Or perhaps I'm completely wrong... any suggestions appreciated, thanks!!!

It seems that the general rule to making a GUI
application is to seperate the "Business Logic" from
the "Presentation Logic". This is absolutely true.
From this, I'm guessing I'll
need to package all my GUI stuff together, and all the
business logic layer stuff together.If you mean the package names and structure then I would had adapted this structure:
1. I will have a package under which I will put the application common classes and interfaces.
com.myapp.common.eventhandler.EventHandler (interface)
com.myapp.common.eventhandler.AbstractEventHandler (default implementation)
com.myapp.common.form.Form (interface)
com.myapp.common.form.AbstractForm (default implementation)2. Create for each subject area its own package:
com.myapp.product.AddNewProductForm
com.myapp.product.AddNewProdcutEventHandler
com.myapp.sales.PriceListEeventHandler
com.myapp.sales.PriceListEeventHandler
The GUI will then talk to the Biz lay through an
interface right?As I illustrated through my previous example, you should have common interfaces and you might need to create Abstract classes that encapsulates the common implementation for these interfaces, then for each GUI Form or Web Page you will create its specific implementation class which inherits from the abstract class.
Finally if you were asking about the deployment packaging:
1. Create for each EJB its own jar file then bundle these Jar files under one module jar file, which represents the EJB module.
2.Package the web application (JSP, Servlets, HTML, Images, CSS, and Java script) in one Web module WAR file.
3. Package your client application module in its own jar file.
4. Assemble the EJB module Jar, Web module War, and Client module Jar in one J2EE package which will be an EAR file so that your whole package will be assembled in one EAR file at the end.
Try the "Application Assembly Tool" which comes with WebSphere. It will organize your application and facilitate this kind of integration.

Be aware of where your packages/PKGBUILDS come from.

A word of caution to all you Archers out there. Be careful where you get your packages from.
It goes without saying that a package from an unknown user/entity could house harmful material. A package could install a trojan, a backdoor, or several other devious things.
The Arch Build System is powerful, and safe if used responsibly. Responsability on the user end is key though. It would be a simple matter of building a package with a harmful post_install script embedded in it, or even an embedded keystroke logger daemon. The myriad of possabilities given that install scripts are executed as root is endless.
So, in summation, know what you are installing. Be an educated user. Know the source of your packages/pkgbuilds. Package builds posted on the forum are generally subject to the review of the public, and thus it is likely that some user would pick up on some squirrelliness and say, "hey! that doen't look right!".
I consider pkgbuilds safer than binaries from sources that I do not trust, because I know what is going on in the pkgbuilds and I can review it. If you do not have the experience required to feel comfortable understanding pkgbuilds, then stick with repos that you trust.
Nothing to be alarmed about. I was just thinking about security this afternoon, and thought I would say something in the hopes that it would make even one user out there a bit safer. 8)

I as well put filelist, patches and PKGBUILDs to my server (even though, no repo).
Anyway, think about larger patches ... who's realy going to read them? Any of you (okay, i know it's an official package) read the visibility patch of GCC? I did, since i maintained the patched GCC for another distribution. Though, this patch just was released on mailinglists... as i know.
I've never used any other package source than official repos and the packages i created, and i feel convenient about this.
Anyway, it's a good idea at least to let people know about the risks. I'm also providing binary / pkgbuild / filelists / patches, but i doubt anyone read what the builds are really doing (statistic of my webserver tells that not even 20% of the people downloading binaries reviewed the PKGBUILDs, i just took a short look at this).

Where is packages.txt? (Can't Install from FTP)

Hello,
I used to be an arch user, but gave up when I ran into a problem that I couldn't solve. I was hoping that Arch would be a bit more polished now and I've decided to give it another spin, but so far things are not going well at all... I'm down 2 cd's and suspect I may need to burn yet another to get things going.
I tried to install from the latest ISO, but kept getting dumped to a grub prompt which threw up errors no matter what commands I entered. Someone on the forum suggested to a user with a similar problem that they try an earlier release that uses ISOLINUX instead of grub (Why newer hardware should require an earlier release, I still don't understand). So, I booted into 2008.3 just fine, and I am trying to get an FTP install going, and no matter which mirror I try, I get an error stating that the installer could not find packages.txt. I combed through the mirrors with an ftp client, hoping that the path had simply changed, but I cannot find packages.txt anywhere.
What do I do now? Do I have to burn a core 2008.3 ISO and install from CD, then update post-install? If so, why? I don't have an odd hardware configuration here (Intel P43, SATA drives) and I suspect that many many people are thus affected by the problem with booting the latest iso.
Anyways, thanks for any help you can give me.
Last edited by hbarnwheeler (2009-01-01 23:02:01)

Use the core ISO. Then manually download the latest pacman and pacman-mirrorlist and -U them.
I knew I would be able to boot the 2008.3 core ISO and install + upgrade, but like SyXbiT in this thread (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51348), I'd really like to know what is going on here. Is it a grub (+AHCI? +SATA?)issue that prevents booting to 2008.6? If so, why use grub in the latest install image? Like I said, I'm not using an odd hardware configuration here, so I'd just like some info from anyone who knows what's going on here. It would be nice if I, and others who read this thread, could help those who run into this issue. Also, maybe there should be something in the wiki about it, so people don't go downloading an older ISO only to find out that pacman's behaviour has changed and they can't do an FTP install. As it stands, it took me a great deal of time and 3 burned cd's to even get a base install going.

Where is "Package" on my CS6?

I have a CC subscription and I have updated Illustrator CS6 to v16.0.4. I should have the "File > Package" option but it's just not there. (as per Illustrator Help | Package files) Why not?

Have you actually downloaded and installed the subscription version of CS6? If I recall correctly the CC version should be 16.2.1.

Where do I put my packages?

Once I have created a package, where do I put it so that it can be imported from a java app anywhere on my PC? In other words, where are packages such as java.lang that everyone has?

Ok, I did a search for jar files on my pc and I found several directories that have them (jbuilder5\jdk1.3\lib,jbuilder5\jdk1.3\jre\lib,jbuilder5\lib,jbuilder\lib\ext). So, from there, I put my searcher.jar file in each of the directories. But, when I try an 'import searcher.jar;' in jbuilder, I get the compiler error 'cannot access directory searcher'. I did reload jbuilder just in case that is when the jars are loaded. I still get the same error.
What is the directory the error is talking about? The package doesn't have to be in a directory inside of the jar, does it? Or, does the jar have to be in a specific directory? Right now, I just have all of files in my package in the jar (no directories).
I also tried to put the jar in a directory that is included in the classpath and still no luck. Any ideas?

Where is the package for the Fortran 95 runtime libraries? (SPROl90sx)

We're developing an application in Fortran 95 using Sun Studio 12 and we're having the hardest time figuring out where the package SPROl90sx is located that is referenced here...
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/documentation/ss12/mr/READMEs/runtime.libraries.html
According to that readme there should be a package named SPROl90sx somewhere so that on a client server that we want to install our Fortran application on, we can just install the runtime package SPROl90sx and have everything work as we want rather than take each library independently and put them on the server.
Does anybody know where I can find SPROl90sx?

Edited by: DNezamfar on Jun 2, 2008 10:00 AM

Hey Calvin,
So I extracted the tar file from the pkg version of Sun Studio, but in the packages-sparc-S2 directory I get a bunch of directories associaed with the packages, specifically I see SPROl90sx. Now how do I take that directory and actually install it on a client machine to get them up and running? pkgadd? When I download a package from sunfreeware.com they come in a single file that we can then install, but I dont see a single file, I see a directory. Does pkgadd have option to isntall a "directory" package? Where would the libraries be installed?
Thanks.

Best buy lost my mail order package

Oct. 30 I place an order of 3x canon flashes. UPS showes it was deliverd on Nov 3. I never recieved the package when I got home from work that day. Call Best Buy on Nov. 4 at 9am to see wheres my package. Best Buy rep. then told me that it'll take 5 to 8 days for investigation and someone will be contacting me within 72 hours. 72 hours has past and I contacted Best Buy again. They told me the case was being transfer to the lost and late department and had no other info. I then waited another couple days and still no call. I again had to contact Best Buy for the 3rd time. This time they told me sorry for not getting in touch with me but they have now started the investigation..It took them a week to start this investigation. I was told this will take another 5 to 8 business days for an answer. Nov. 12 still no call from Best Buy. So I again had to contact them. Was told it's still under investigation and I will get a answer in a week. Nov. 20 still no call. contacted Best Buy again and was on hold for 30 mins to get and answer that she will call me back in 30mins because of system being down. I'm writing this while I'm wating for them to call me back. Hopefully I'll get a straight answer this time as to wheres my package and how Best Buy is going to resolve this.

Create New Field - Package is null and non editable

7.0 when choosing the Create New Field in the UI, I get a window where the Package is empty and I can not edit it, the Namespace contains a Z and is not editable.
I select ORDERADM_I but when I select OK I get the message the Package is Required.
I am guessing I need to do something in EEWB? but not quite sure. I did find any other forum questions with this issue.

Hi,
I assumed you are using Application Enhancement Tool.
The prerequesite to use Application Enhancement Tool is you have to maintain the system settings in transaction AXTSYS.
Here you can define a default value, which will be displayed in WebUI.

Discoverer Plus 10gR2 not show data when the script of view have package

Hi my friends.
I have a problem with discoverer plus, I don't know is a problem or I'm doing something wrong.
I have a four views, the views containg in the SELECT stament and WHERE clause packages, example:
SELECT d.price,
d.total,
d.min,
d.mx,
TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'q') quarter,
d.fid,
k_xdcd_qry.f_xdc_obt_price (d.prod, d.id) --> package
k_xpxpd_qry.f_xpeds_salary_ca_u (
d.prod,
d.id) xp --> package
FROM px_prices_proc c,
xp_sla_max d,
xmp_sla_puc b
WHERE a.prod = b.prod
AND a.id = b.id
AND a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod --> package
When I used the views on discoverer plus for construct the report, when execute the query not show data.
Appreciate it if you could help or tell me I'm doing wrong or does not support Discoverer Plus package execution.

Hi Tux,
This appears to be a grant issue. Apparently, you have granted execute with respect to this package to the EUL owner or the view would not have compiled. If you have not given EUL owner the grant option, I would recommend doing this as well.
This appears to be an Oracle APPS EUL (tell me if I am wrong). If this is the case, it goes without saying that APPS will need to be granted the execute privilege.
Also, by default, a stored package executes with the privileges of its owner. If your custom package was designed this way, are the objects which it references received the appropriate grant? I assume you tested this, but I am concerned that the line, a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod, in the where clause could be resulting in the Null set being returned.

Unable to run dtsx package locally when there is a sort task

Hi all
I have created a very simple package.
It has a OLE DB Source, a Sort and a OLE DB Destination.
When I run it in the Integration Designer in Visual Studio, it works fine.
But when I like to execute the package in another C# Project, I get this error:
"To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install Sort of Integration Services or higher."
When I remove the Sort Task, it works.
Here is my C# code:
MyEventListener eventListener = new MyEventListener();
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Package _Package;
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application _Application;
Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.DTSExecResult _DTSExecResult;
_Application = new Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime.Application();
_Package = _Application.LoadPackage(@"...\Package.dtsx", eventListener, true);
_DTSExecResult = _Package.Execute(null, null, eventListener, null, null);
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(_DTSExecResult.ToString());
Thanks and best regards
Frank

Hi frank,
Based on the error message, it seems that SSIS is not installed or a lower SSIS version installed on the server on which the C# project was running.
To run the package outside SSDT, you need right version SSIS installed. The reason why the package runs fine with only Source and Destination components is that such a simple package can be executed by the DTExec utility installed by SQL Server 2012 Data base
Engine or Client Tools (SQL Server Import and Export Wizard). To run a package that uses other tasks/components outside SSDT/BIDS, the SSIS runtime is also required except the DTExec utility. To obtain the SSIS runtime, we have to install SSIS on the server
where the package runs.

APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN PACKAGE NOT FOUND IN APEX 4.0

Hi,
I have created a workspace in APEX 4.0 and named it POC_TEST with a schema called POC_TEST .I am trying to run the below command in SQL Commands Window to automate the creation of any workspace in APEX.
ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT_SCHEMA=APEX_040000;
BEGIN
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.ADD_WORKSPACE(8675309,'MY_WORKSPACE','POC_TEST','POC_TEST1');
END;
The following error throws up in the SQL Parsing window:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PLS-00201: identifier 'APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 2, column 1:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
1. BEGIN
2. APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN.ADD_WORKSPACE(8675309,'MY_WORKSPACE','POC_TEST','POC_TEST1');
3. END;
I tried running the below PL/SQL statement:
SELECT object_name
FROM all_objects
WHERE object_type = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = 'APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN'
But it said 'No Data Found'
Please reply to this if anybody has a solution.

I am not sure about why its not working on your environment, but here it is fine.
I do note that your query:
839060 wrote:
SELECT object_name
FROM all_objects
WHERE object_type = 'PACKAGE'
AND object_name = 'APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN'
But it said 'No Data Found'Is producing the correct output based on those conditions:
SQL> select object_name,object_type from all_objects where object_name like 'APEX_INSTANCE%';
OBJECT_NAME                 OBJECT_TYPE
APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN            SYNONYM

Most likely you are connected to a user that does not have permissions to use apex_instance_admin.
Edited by: trent on Feb 23, 2011 11:08 PM
The APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN package provides utilities for managing an Oracle Application Express runtime environment. You use the APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN package to get and set email settings, wallet settings, report printing settings and to manage scheme to workspace mappings. APEX_INSTANCE_ADMIN can be executed by the SYS, SYSTEM, and APEX_040000 database users as well as any database user granted the role APEX_ADMINISTRATOR_ROLE.http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_instance.htm#CACGJEDD
Even though you are altering the session, probably you need to first connect with a user with the appropriate roles.
