Hello all. I've been trying for some time to use the ExternalInterface.call method in flash, to no avail (see here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/757390/actionscript-javascript here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/818089/using-externalinterface-in-flash and here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/825316/flash-trace-output-in-fi...
After a linux kernel upgrade, my VMWare server cannot start until using vmware-config.pl to do some re-config work (including build some kernel modules). If I update my windows VMWare host with latest Windows Service Pack, I usually not need to do anything to run VMWare. Why VMWare works differently between Linux and Windows? Does this...

I'm compiling some code which uses libcurl on a Debian Linux system. My dev machine is running Debian 5 but I want the binary to be usable on older Debian 4 systems too. I find that if I specify -lcurl it will link to libcurl.so.4 but Debian 4 systems only have libcurl.so.3 Is there some way I can tell GCC to link to either libcurl.so....
Hello, I want to retrieve a child of the window I am in Gtk#. So far the only way I found looking at the documentation is to do it using a loop through the Children property of the Window, like: foreach (Widget w in this) { if (w.Name == "MyWidget") return w; } where this is the window. I am sure there must be a better,...

Trying to rename a series of files on a linux server. Finding the files I want is easy: find . -type f -wholename \*.mbox Of course, being mbox files, some of them have spaces in the names, so it becomes: find . -type f -wholename \*.mbox -print0 I'm piping to xargs so that I can rename the files: find . -type f -wholename \*.mbo...
Say I find a Windows developer with 10+ years of experience, great skills in C/C++ and excellent references as a versatile coder who gets things done. Can I hire him for development on the Linux platform and expect him to be efficient in production within a couple of weeks? Or is the threshold too high when speaking in terms of developme...
Collectively check space of files in linux... I have nearly more than 100 of files ...to check the size collectively... Edit: What I need is: I have a folder containing 1000 files and I need something so that I can calculate the total sum [of what?] of 100 files only which I need...not all 1000 files..... ...
I could grep through /etc/passwd but that seems onerous. 'finger' isn't installed and I'd like to avoid that dependency. This is for a program so it would be nice if there was some command that let you just access user info. ...
Is there something similar to chroot, but for users? We are about to grant access to our servers for a client and would like them to see only the directories we allow. ...
If I want to allocate a char array (in C) that is guaranteed to be large enough to hold any valid absolute path+filename, how big does it need to be. On Win32, there is the MAX_PATH define. What is the equivalent for Unix/linux? ...
I've only used higher-level languages (Perl, Python, Java) for projects at work and at school, and I've only tinkered with C++ and C enough to fix bugs or add some classes to a project. I've read The C Programming Language and grok it, and I'm an avid Linux user. I want to immerse myself in C by working on something other than a toy pro...

So i wish to switch my developement plateform to a linux ( i dont care wich one ). Problem : we are building something in Adobe Flex. And i'v r...
Hi. My server runs CentOS 5.3 with 2 harddisks. The harddisks were configured as RAID 1 (software-based RAID). The operating system also use the RAID. I would like to reinstall the server. I don't mind loosing the data. I already backup the data elsewhere. Do I have to remove the partition first? Or can I just reinstall the CentOS and...
Is there an API (or command line) in Ubuntu to see the available wireless networks, their strength, etc, and connecting to one? ...
I am interested in learning how to write extremely efficient network server software and I don't mind getting my hands dirty with pointers, sockets and threading. I'm talking a server being able to handle thousands of concurrent connections. There is not much processing for each client, but a little. Do you know of any code examples for...
I'd like to fire some callback every time my network card sends new info about the available networks. I don't really mind if I need to poll the information myself either. I just don't want to rely on spawning "iwlist scan last" every second, but that's exactly the information I need (network name + channel + encryption type). Is there ...
I have a somewhat weird requirement to be able to listen to a number of network interfaces from Java on a Linux machine and determine if one of them receives UDP packets of a certain type. The output data which I need is the IP address of the interface in question. Is there any way to do this in Java? Listening on the wildcard address ...
