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.

My firefox beta 12 using Linux platform does not update to firefox RC1 via the "check for update" function. I know windows' beta version had this fixed, when would Linux get similar support ?

Current platform : Linux
Current firefox version : Firefox 4 beta 12
Issue : does not update to RC 1 using the check for update feature.
Background : previously downloaded beta 8 and then it automatically updated to beta 12 using update features but for RC1, it does not.
I know users under Windows platform had same problem but was resolved and they can now update via check for update feature.
Please implement for Linux users too.
Thanks !!

If you can't update then you can download and install the full Firefox 4 RC version.

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??

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.

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.

Most current WTK for Linux?

Hi
what is the most current WTK available for Linux,
and where can i download it (i haven't found any link yet)?
If it is WTK 2.2: What do i miss compared to WTK-2.5,
can i use bluetooth already?
What are the schedules for Linux-WTK 2.5?
thanks,
Marcel
PS: I'm sure there are some thousand other developers interested in this :-)

Ok, i have found now the download area by guessing the URL:
http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/download-2_2.html
Version 2.2 (+ a patch) seems to be the latest Linux version,
according to the download page it supports bluetooth.
The next release
http://java.sun.com/products/sjwtoolkit/download-2_3.html
and higher seems to be Windows only,

Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
forefront. We have
been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
announced for
that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
downloaded Oracle8
for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
the first
20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
paying
customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
accounts and most
of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
Linux. Already,
20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
internet
technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
Linux, this
release promises to be the hottest yet.
Read on for more information about:
- What are we announcing?
- What are the key messages?
- What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
- Why does Oracle care about Linux?
- Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
- Which products are available on Linux?
- Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
doing?
- Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
What are we announcing?
Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
We can hope...

[SOLVED] Lousy fonts with .chm viewer for Linux

I installed the .chm file viewer HelpExplorer 3.0 in both Windows XP and Arch Linux (chm = compiled HTML help file). In Windows XP, with default fonts installed, the fonts in text read with this viewer appear crisp, sharp and anti-aliased. In Arch with KDE 3.5.7, on the other hand, the fonts appear fuzzy, grainy and don't seem to be anti-aliased, in contrast with their appearance in all other apps (except for a few such as Dillo) which render text good-looking, sharp and anti-aliased.
HelpExplorer for Linux was provided as a tarball that included a precompiled 'helpexplorer' binary. The program doesn't seem to allow for customizing font settings.
The following fonts are installed in Arch (in /usr/share/fonts/):
ttf-bitstream-vera-1.10-5 is installed by default
gsfonts 8.11-4 is installed by default
PostScript Type 1 fonts installed: Century Schoolbook, Nimbus, URW Bookman, URW Gothic, URW Palladio
ttf-ms-fonts-2.0-1 (Microsoft TTF: Andale Mono, Arial, Comic, Courier, Georgia, Impact, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Trebuchet)

[img=http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/8401/snapshot1zh9.th.png]
What do I need to do to improve the font appearance in this program in Linux?
Last edited by RobF (2007-10-02 18:06:46)

I found a solution of sorts by installing and running the Windows version of HelpExplorer in Wine or Crossover. There is still very little control over fonts but when I enlarge the default font (with 2x CTRL-+) I do get a nice-looking anti-aliased Times New Roman font, and this solution would be my preferred way of reading .chm files in Linux (i.e. better than KchmViewer or Xchm).
Recap of the problem:
1. The .chm viewer HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed in Windows XP renders fonts crisp and clear and anti-aliased.
2. The Linux version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 (delivered as a precompiled executable in a tarball) doesn't render fonts antialiased, regardless of what I tried, and they look grainy and unattractive.
3. The Windows version of HelpExplorer Viewer 3.0 when installed and run in Arch in Wine or Crossover does render the default font they offer (looks like Times New Roman) fairly crisp and clear and anti-aliased, at least at the enlarged setting.
Can someone explain to me what might be going on? Why is it that the Linux version cannot render fonts anti-aliased when the Windows version running in the emulator in Linux can? Is there something that I have to change in my fonts config, fonts location, symlinks or path to get the anti-aliased fonts to work in HelpExplorer in Linux?

Konqueror browser for Linux has an useful CPU limitation feature for websites using Flash content. Can you add such a feature in Firefox?

I have recently found that Konqueror browser for Linux can help user to limit cpu usage while visiting a website using flash technology by changing settings in the Flash section and adjusting the slider from VERY HIGH settings to HIGH and MEDIUM and so on. It actually works, and it does not have a direct impact on the general performance for flash player but it may generate some conflicts if other extensions such as add-blocker or click-to-flash are enabled also.
Maybe you can add a similar setting in Firefox in the browser option section or just as an useful addon or extension.

Sorry for being late with my reply. I've just tested that addon that you mentioned in your post ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../system-monitor/ ) , it looks like a system monitor and nothing more than that.
As for the memory tip ( about:memory ) I agree that it can be extremely useful for users that have less than 1 gb memory installed on their system. I know very little about computers but I can tell your tip for optimizing memory usage in firefox has merits.
Me, I have another problem with cpu overload in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and most of the browsers with flash support enabled. Each and every time time I visit a page that features all sort of adds and gadgets based on flash technology, and each time I try to watch a video online my cpu goes all the way up to 100% and stays there until i finally decide to close the browser.
I am running winxp and also linux on a Dell Optiplex GX260 machine with 2000 MHz cpu, 1024 Mib ram and 128 Mib video card, it is not the best computer in the world but still 2000 MHz should be enough for a limited and uneventful web experience.
It is not as much an issue with the web browser, any browser, the whole problem is caused by funny people claiming to be deeply involved with web development, and promoting flash technology for ages instead of choosing other alternatives, more user friendly. All I am saying is that flash ruined the entire web experience making people to believe that they actually need dual-core cpu and coreduo and deepfreeze cpu and so on which is only partially true.
I always get better results for cpu usage when watching online videos that use media player as default player and not flash player, and my cpu stays below 70% usage which is not much but still it is not 100% usage.
Konqueror offered me a nice surprise, and I was able to limit cpu usage once I moved that slider from Very High setttings for flash player to Medium settings. I got something between 80-90% cpu usage as a result, and I was very pleased to finally see a working solution to my problem at least for linux if not for windows.
The only other browser that I can use for windows only, which handles both flash player and cpu usage well is Kmeleon browser which is a long forgotten project but does offer nice features once you find some plugins that it needs to make it come to life again.

Problems downloading files for Oracle 8.1.7 for Linux

Hello,
I have been attempting to download Oracle 8i for linux and my connection appears to get broken during the file transfer. The file is over 500 Mb but I have only managed to receive about 150 Mb before the connection was lost.
The file appears to be a tar but is not compressed. Could the file be compressed to minimise download time and reduce the likelihood of file corruption during transfer?
Also, is Oracle for Linux available on CD? Is there a fee for the CD and delivery?
Any advice concerning download of this file would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ralph.

http://otn.oracle.com/software/htdocs/downloadFAQ.html has the answer for it.
If you are downloading to windows use www.getright.com's share ware to download 500MB in less time.
If using linux, then http://devel-home.kde.org/%7Ecaitoo/index.html will help you to down load it.

A reasonable hardware configuration for Linux OAS

Has anyone out there tried to run
Oracle 8 for Linux and OAS 3.02
all on the same toasted PC/pentium server?
Could you tell me the nature of your
hardware configuration (processor speed, ram, etc)
if you feel the performance is acceptable for
development (not for actual business operation).
The technical FAQ lists 48 megs and any
Pentium to run Oracle 8 for Linux which
verges on ridiculously low.
I just want to know a reasonable
configuration to run both Oracle 8 and OAS .
Thanks,
Heji

I have been runnig OAS/O8 on a Pii/300Mhz system with 128mb of
ram, and so far I have no real complaints on speed. I even tuned
the SGA to give a little better performance and still have around
40 or so MB free. BTW, I haven't really tried to mess around
with the Linux version of OAS, but have used the Solaris version
previously, have you noticed any problems with the wrb starting
up? I have seen some error messages saying "No processes..." or
something, looks like an error.. have you experienced this?

NO, it will not work. You cannot even install since the installer
for Solaris is a Solaris binary and some windows exe also does
not work. I guess somebody has to write a better bootstrap proggy
first...
I wonder why they did it that way...

Call upon even better support for Unicode

Hello
Following some messages I have posted regarding problems I encountered while developing a non-English web application, I would like to call upon an even better support for Unicode. Before I describe my call, I want to say that I consider Berkeley DBXML a superb product. Superb. It lets us develop very clean and maintainable applications. Maintainability is, in my view, the keyword in good software development practices.
In this message I would like to remind you that the US-ASCII 8-bit set of characters only represents 0.4% of all characters in the world. It is also true to say that most of our software comes from efforts of American developers, for which I am of course very grateful.
But problems with non US-ASCII characters are very very time consuming to solve. To start with, our operating systems need to be configured especially for unicode, our servers too, our development tools too, our source code too and, finally, our data too. That's a lot of configuring, isn't it? Believe me, as a Flemish french-speaking, danish-speaking developer who develops currently a new application in Portuguese, I know what I am talking about.
Have you ever tried to write a Java class called Ação.java, that loads an xml instance called Ação.xml that contains something like <?xml version="1.0" charset="utf-8"?></ação variável="descrição"/>? It takes at least the double of time to have all this work right in a web application on a Linux server than it would take to write a Acao.java that loads Acao.xml containing <?xml version="1.0" charset="us-ascii"?></acao variavel="descricao"/> (which is clearly something we do not want in Portugal).
I have experienced a problem while using the dbxml shell to load documents that have utf-8 encoded names. See difficulties retrieving documents with non ascii characters in name The work around is not to use the dbxml shell, with which I am of course not very happy.
So, while trying not to be arrogant and while trying to express my very very great appreciation for this great product, I call upon even better support for Unicode. After all, when the rest of us, that use another 65279 characters in our software, will be able to use this great product without problems, will it not contribute to the success of Berkeley DBXML?
Thank you
Koen

Hello John and thank you for replying,
You are completely correct that it is a shell problem. I investigated and found solutions for running dbxml in a Linux shell. On Windows, as one could expect, no solution so far.
Here is an overview of my investigation, which I hope will be useful for other developers which also presist writing code and xml in their language.
difficulties retrieving documents with non ascii characters in name
I was wondering though if it would not be possible to write the dbxml shell in such a way that it becomes independent from the encoding of the shell. Surely their must be, not? Rewrite dbxml in Java? Any candidates :-) ?
Thanks again for the very good work,
Koen

Where to download OAS9i V1.0.2.2 for Linux RedHat RH6.2(kernel 2.2.16 or later) use?

So that we may better diagnose problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name:linux1

- Date/Time: 2/6/2002
- Browser + Version: Netscape 6
- O/S + Version: Linux RedHat 6.2 (Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3)
- Error Msg
I am a member of OTN, and I tried to download and test OAS9i for my platform - Linux RedHat 6.2(Kernel 2.2.19, glibc 2.1.3), and I tried to find the related OAS9i product for Linux use from your site "Oracle9iAS Download Options", but I got a confused about those items, I found v1.0.2.2.1 OAS9i image *.cp file there, but there installation guide itself shows that it is for V1.0.2.2 use,that is for Intel Linux use(Kernel 2.2.14 or later, glibc 2.1.3), however, the image *.cp file which could be downloaded is V1.0.2.2.1, is for Intel RH7.1 Linux use(Kernel 2.4.3-12, glibc 2.2.2-10).
So that's very strange, and I want to know that where can I download the *.cp files for Intel Linux RH6.2 use(Kernel 2.2.19 or later, glibc 2.1.3), my platform is RH6.2 because I heart that Intel Linux RedHat's version over 6.2 doesn't be certificated by ORACLE, so I always use Intel RedHat 6.2 as my basic platform, so who can tell me where to download the imgae *.cp files for my platform use? Or any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards!
