I have used IDETalk on a Windows and it discovers other users in my Local network working under same project. Works magic.
However on a linux machine I am not seeing any users. there are other users in my network that are using linux and have the IDETalk enabled. Does this plugin work only on Windows? Shouldn't be thugh.
Also The tool buttons like add users do not work for me. Installed is IDEtalk 0.5.6.2 and I am on redhat 6

I am trying to use my computer with windows 10 installed so that I can build and compile jar files but test them remotely on my raspberry pi4 down the hall. This method worked fine when I was using a linux (Ubuntu) laptop, but unfortunately...the laptop broke, and now I'm installing linux on another computer...and in the meantime, I would like to continue working. I have Apache Netbeans 12.3, java version 16, and here are the specifics of what is happening: I can go into manage platforms, I can set up a remote platform, and can test it...and the connection tests out successfully. However, when I go to File->ProjectProperties and select Categories->Run, in the drop-down box where you can usually select the platforms you have established....there are no options--it just offers Project Platform. Maybe it's a windows thing? A priviledge thing? I can't find the answer...thanks in advance.
This is the screen where the problem exists. The arrow points towards the drop down menu that won't drop down and acts like no other Platform has been defined.
By downgrading the JDK to JDK11, I was able to select newly existing Remote Platforms in Netbeans in the File->ProjectProperties window, under the Run category, as detailed in the picture above.
Currently, I have two machines, one with Ubuntu in the company and one with Mac OS at home. Sometimes I would like to work at home while accessing the Ubuntu machine in the company. I can ssh into the Ubuntu machine and navigate and compile there. However, when I actually want to edit some cpp source codes, I realize that the editor (VS code) is actually opened in the Ubuntu machine, so I cannot view it from Mac. What should I do if want to edit files remotely on my Mac through VS code?
Though many of the answers mention using version control tools like git, it can be hard to use in my specific case. The problem is that the building environment of my company is Linux, so most of the building tools I have can only run on Linux. This means that I can only compile my source codes in Linux. If I use git, then every time I want to compile and debug my codes, I have to commit and push with my Mac, and then pull and test on Linux. This can be time consuming if want to incrementally modify, test and debug my codes.
Use some version control system like git. Then you might edit and compile at home (provided your code is portable between Linux & MacOSX, e.g. because it is POSIX compliant).
You could install some X11 server on your Mac and use ssh -X to access the remote Ubuntu machine (then run a GUI or editor remotely, e.g. ssh -X remotelinuxhost.company.com emacs). However, that requires good bandwidth and latency between your home computer and the remote one.
BTW, you might use some other source code editor, like emacs (it is capable of remote editing) or vim.
Since Linux and MacOSX are both POSIX systems, it is usually (but not always) easy to port source code from Linux to MacOSX and write source code compilable on both systems. BTW, many Linux frameworks (e.g. Qt, GTK, POCO, Boost, etc...) and build systems are usable and ported to MacOSX. Some Linux system calls (listed in syscalls(2)) are not available on MacOSX (e.g. signalfd(2)...)
Of course you could install Linux (perhaps inside some VM) on your Apple laptop.
2 week old Ubuntu 18.04 install.
As a requirement of running a android device emulator for Android studio, I had to install KVM, so I installed it (the exact package name was kvm, it had some dependencies), and now my computer won't boot. It just sits there with a purple screen.
No keyboard or mouse input has any effect (including REISUB).
I have googled and nothing relevant comes up (it's all about booting VMs, understandably).
I have no idea what to do, especially since I cannot interact directly with my OS.
I still have my boot stick (that I used to install 18.04), and I can boot off that.
Turns out that installing linux-kvm actually doesn't install a VM program, it just installs another kernal that's obsolete, puts it at the top of the grub list, and that's how it breaks your computer.
I fixed it by using boot-repair (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair).
I've got a question about VMs and installing programs.
I've got a vsphere 6.0 running on my server and I try to automatically create new VMs (or use clean installed snapshots) an then automatically install software on these VMs.
e.g.:
A user wishes to create a new Windows 7 with xampp installed and firefox + thunderbird + eclipse. The VM will be created and during the first start these programs will be installed.
Is this possible or are there any tools that can help?
Or can I use the VMware API to realize this?
Thank you very much.
There is no way that Vsphere can do these installations that I know of. In fact I don't know of a way to install an application to a running windows box remotely - you can imagine the security implications of that.
There is an easy way to do this however.
I would build my windows VM, install all the required applications (leaving them as configured or not depending on your needs) then convert the VM into a template and then deploy new vms based on that template. Then you have your windows vms ready to go with the installed applications.
Is is possible to automate the installation of an OS using VMware or any other virtualization product?
One of our products consists of a customized version of CentOS that installs the OS and our application on a server. It's much like any CentOS/RHEL installation where you choose a mode that corresponds to different kickstart options, and then you choose your keyboard type. The rest of the installation is automatic.
What I'd like to have is an automated system that will create a new guest VM, boot it with the ISO image of our product, start the installation (including choosing the keyboard), wait for the reboot, and then launch a set of automated tests.
I know that there are plenty of ways to automate the creation of new VM guests from existing templates/images, and I know you can use the VIX API to interact with virtual machines, but the VIX API seems to require that VMware tools is already running (which won't be the case when you're booting from the CentOS install disk).
This answer (Automating VMWare or VirtualPC) indicates that you can script VMware to boot from an ISO that does an unattended installation, but I would really like to test the same process that our customers will be using.
Another option might be to use Xen's fully-virtualized mode and see if scripting it over the serial port will work.
TIA,
Jason
I have a very very similar question, it is on superuser:
https://superuser.com/questions/36047/moving-vmware-os-image-as-primary-os-on-a-system
You can also use VirtualBox instead of VMWare. The VirtualBox SDK allows you to directly control the keyboard, the mouse the serial port and the parallel port of the guest without the virtualbox guest tools installed.
Unfortunately it doesn't offer a text console interface but the serial port can be connected to a local pipe file and that can probably be worked with just as well.
This may not be exactly what you need:
I have done something similar with a Ubuntu-based install. We used preseeding (Debian's form of kickstart), to answer all the questions during the install - providing the preseed file and the installer via tftp.
In addition to the official Ubuntu mirror we added the apt-server with our own packages in the preseed file. We put a .deb version of vmware-tools on the apt-server and added it to the packages to be installed.
The .deb of vmware tools just contained the .tar.gz and a postinstall script that would extract it to /tmp and run the vmware install script (which has a switch to be run unnattended, so it does not ask any questions).
So after the reboot vmware-tools were up and running and we could use vix to script the rest (which was not very reliable).
If you should encounter problems with running vmware-config.pl during boot, you could make a custom package that just extracts the tools and an init script that installs them on first boot, disables itself and reboots.
Maybe you can use this strategy (replacing apt by yum, preseed by kickstart and tftp by a remastered iso). If you really need to test that your users choose a keyboard in the installer (which is not very different from kickstart) this would obviously not work for you..
