Today, I am in a dilemma in choosing my career path. Hope you will help me in solving this. I have completed 8-9 months as Linux Admin. I have an opportunity to continue as Linux Admin or become Linux application developer ( C++ ). I have little bit of competency in C++, but currently I am Linux Admin. Here are my questions
1. Are Linux admins highly paid than Linux application developers ?
2. which one has got more demand ?
3. what will be the future of Linux Admin ? what would be the role of Linux Admin in an organization after 5 years ?
4. As I am interested on both of these options, I am facing difficulty in choosing my career path.
What's the actual command I run to run OOo developer version download: OpenOffice.org Developer Builds and Release Candidates the last entry, "Snapshot...". I'm curious to see if some of the bugs they are saying are fixed are fixed in that version. I have it installed, and I know they do not have "desktop-integration" for a reason, but they don't actually tell you what the physical terminal command to run it is.
Being a LAMP snob, it pains me to even think these thoughts, but .I'm running FC-9, and developing websites, mainly using PHP - well the whole LAMP thing. I now find the need to test/code for IE. To that end I'm thinking VMware, VitrualBox, etc. loaded up with that "other" OS.
I'm sure others have gone down this path. I'm guessing the answer is Win-7. My main question is: OK, I do a virgin buy and install and register it on my VM. Six months later I want to change from VM-X to VM-Y and I reinstall - what is MS's feelings on VM's.
just got a quick question: I need to install Oracle's SQL Developer since I need to use the program for a database unit at Uni. Anyway, if you've tried to use it before you'd realise that there is only a .rpm installer available for it (no .deb). So I tried to convert it to .deb using alien. When I "sudo alien --scripts" the .rpm I get: error: incorrect format: unknown tag mkdir: cannot create directory `sqldeveloper-2.1.1.64.45': File exists unable to mkdir sqldeveloper-2.1.1.64.45: at /usr/share/perl5/Alien/Package.pm line 257.
Basically, I'm asking, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here? I've never used alien before since I've never had a need to convert a .rpm before. I also tried installing and running Java JDK and SQL Developer under Wine, but was unsuccessful with that as well
I've been googling such terms as "Gnome Shell Developer Reference", etc, and poking around developer.gnome.org; and i can't seem to find documentation on how to code interface elements against the gnome shell for javascript / xHTML / css. Does anyone know where they keep it, or am i completely misunderstanding that aspect of the new gnome hell, in that you only use js to do themes, but not plugins or inteface changes?
It is a sad day indeed, but I need to run a developer's tool that only runs on Windows, and it interfaces with a USB device that doesn't do well through any VMs I've tried. I've resorted to installing XP.
Now, I'm wondering if there will be any problems I'll face installing XP after Ubuntu 10.04 has already been installed? I suspect so, but it's been a while since I dual booted, and I've never worked with Grub2,
I have a "stripped down" version of ubuntu 9.10 that was created for me by a developer.It's installed on a Dell Latitude 2100 and I have a flash drive with an image so that I can install it onto multiple Dell Latitude 2100's to use out in the field.The original developer is no longer able to support the software and I have a problem with the gnome power manager (I think that's where the problem is) in that when lid is closed, I get a black screen.I know that the laptop is still running fine behind this black screen because if I plug in an external monitor I can see the screen (only on the external) and use the laptop fine.I know also that the developer stripped out parts of the gnome power manager and possibly acpi as well (if that has anything to do with the lid switch?)I can get the screen back if I go to a terminal and "sudo vbetool dpms on". I do this by using the external monitor but this doesn't solve my issue because out in the field there is no external monitor to use. The lid gets closed often in the field ad the only way to get it back is to hard reboot (hold down the power button till power off and then turn it on again.I've tried removing and re-installing gnome power manager as well as acpi and acpi support but this doesn't help.
I've tried using gconf-editor to set the lid_ac and lid_battery to "blank" and also "nothing" and I still get the same problem.When installing a full copy of 9.10 on these laptops and setting the lid_ac and lid_battery settings to "blank" or "nothing" it works perfectly so it's definitely something to do with what's been stripped out.At this stage, I am just looking for a solution that will allow people out in the field to get the screen back on whenever this happens ... so even if it's a case of them being able to invoke the "sudo vbetool dpms on" command by some manner ... note that part of the stripping has been to disable various key bindings.
I need to create a user account for a software developer. I am logged in as an administrator and was planning on using the 'useradd' command to add the developer. Where should I place his folder in the directory hierarchy?He will need to access the gcc compiler to do his development.
Edit: Oops. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I meant to post it in the general forums, yet somehow it ended up here. It kind of fits here as well I guess. I am currently trying to move my career forward and am not having much luck. So I've come to see if any of you can offer some fresh advice to help me out.
Let me tell you first where I stand in my career to give you an idea of where I'm starting from. I am currently 26 years old and have recently graduated with a bachelors of computer science from university. I would call myself an average student, nothing special, nor anything horrible. Out of university this landed me an ok job as a PHP developer. However I dont want to stagnate in this position scripting junk all day and not ever challenge myself. not to mention i could certainly rant for a while on the things that fall short at my current position (read: being banned from object oriented programming because the boss cant understand it)
I'd like to find a job that (1) challenges me just the right amount to help me learn and grow but not get overwhelmed in a language I enjoy (hopefully such as C/C++/Java or the like)
(2) is at a company with at least some software design process implemented (agile,xp,etc)and if that is to much to ask, then I'd at least like to move in that direction. So that is what I am looking towards and I would love any advice on how to achieve that. Maybe some of you were in my position 5 or 10 years ago and could shed some light on the subject. I've scoured the internet for job postings that offer what I am looking for, but they are really hard to find. The postings are usually looking for senior or intermediate level programmers with at least 5+ years of experience, or looking for web development script monkeys to make "The next big facebook app" (the job I already have)
I've also considered attending conferences and such, but have never really been, and wouldn't know what to do, or where to even find out about them (I used to see postings every now and then at university, but now I live in a small town.)
I apologize if this is a duplicate post but I was unable to find anything that addressed my question. Currently I've installed the nvidia developer driver (beta) found here:[URL]..
After installing the driver everything works correctly. Rebooting the system results in a hang prior to starting X. Opening a new console and running start X provides me with the following error:
Code: [ 103.884] X.Org X Server 1.8.2 Release Date: 2010-07-01 [ 103.885] X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 [ 103.885] Build Operating System: x86-10 2.6.32-44.el6.x86_64
[Code]..;.
At this point if I reinstall the driver and reissue startx, again the system starts up properly. Also I've noticed that after a reboot, my xorg.conf file is being overwrriten.
I try to install libapache2-mod-php5 on a vserver for our developer. But it does not work : yum install mod-php5-apache2 Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.newnanutilities.org
[Code]...
Is the name of the package changed or any other way to install it?
I just install the latest beta chromium by executing these commands:
Code:
The problem is I still want the Stable version of Chromium, and I want the developer version of Chromium not the beta release. So I got 2 problems: I need to downgrade this Chromium to the Stable release and then I want to install the developer release of Chromium and not lose this Stable release. I'm currently running 11.04 Ubuntu..
After my windows computer died of old age, I was given this computer. It has Linux Mint 9 Isadora on it. I am trying to learn how to use it. The update and other functions are locked out with a password. Is it possible to change it without reinstalling the entire Os.
I am using linux mint and have installed Netbeans on it but whenever I run netbeans from accounts other than root it throws an error for not having permission to start glassfish server of netbeans. I also tried running this application using run as administrator option but then the application does not start.
So is there a way to assign netbeans admin rights permanently so that whenever I start this application from other accounts I should not face this error?

i just jumped into linux with both feet not having a clue what im doing.. loaded ubuntu 10.10.. liked it but i couldnt get stellarium to work with my ati x1300, so i upgraded to 11.4 and it works fine.. problem is.. i have a applications start on the left side, but i cant seem to find the setup like in 10.10 at the top, where you can go to terminal, admin, synaptic, etc.. the only way i found synaptic was trying to download it and asked me if i wanted to keep it in the bar, so now its on the left, but cant find anything else.. ive been trying to find it on the net but 11.4 seems to be so new that there arent very many faqs or tutorials about it..it would be nice if i can get that stuff back without having to format and reinstall 10.10.. im not going back to windows.. so i might as well figure this out..
