InetAddress.getLocalHost() throws HostUnknownException

1998-05-27 Thread Sam Hokin

I'm running 1.1.5b7 under Red Hat Linux (2.0.18 kernel) and find that
java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost() throws a HostUnknownException when I'm
on a PPP connection.  This does not happen under Windows95 using the 1.1.6
JRE from Sun (ie. it works, and gives the PPP server-supplied IP addy).

Any suggestions? I need to get my PPP-based IP addy in my application.  I
tried getHostByName("localhost"), but that just returns 127.0.0.1 of
course.

Applet - method problem

1998-11-28 Thread Sam Elbe




Hello Fellow JAVA Fans,
 
I am stuck on a problem and looking for help.  I go to 
Univ.. of Cincinnati CAS and took a course in JAVA and would not recommend 
anyone taking it - because there is NO HELP from the teacher.  

 
The little Applet part works, but the method has some error in 
it that I can not find.
Could I PLEASE get someone to look at it and 
show me where I am going wrong
so I can ACTUALLY learn how to make these 
methods work.  Something, that I can not get from the course 
instructor.
 
Thank you,

Blackdown on SuSE

2001-06-26 Thread Sam Joseph
Hi,

I've been trying to install a blackdown jdk on an IBM penguin box using
SuSE linux and have not had much luck so far.

I can extract the blackdown version, and unpack it but when I try to run

the java command I get this:

l008064:~/j2sdk1.3.0/bin # ./java -version
Error: can't find libjava.so.

and I also get a sinking feeling when reading the system requirements
for blackdown which say:

 Check your version of glibc using the following command:

 ls /lib/libc-*

 The output of this command should show libc-2.1.3.so or higher.

when I check ls /lib/libc-* I find nothing.

The closest I get is libc.so.6 and I am really not sure where to go from
here.

My apologies for my lack of ignorance, but I am not a regular Linux user
and am not sure how to deal with these library issues.

Thanks in advance

CHEERS> SAM

Juergen is right. This was the problem, as someone on a different list
also informed me.
I had been given access to a machine remotely and didn't know what
processor was being used.

Is there some way to check this remotely perhaps?

[quick check of system properties]

I guess typing printenv HOSTTYPE might help.
It all sounds so simple after the event ...

Anyhow, thanks to Alan, Franz and Amol for various helpful comments on the
java library issues which have helped advance my understanding of the
issue.

Threads on i386-redhat-linux-gnu

2001-11-02 Thread Sam Joseph
Hi All,

So I'm having this problem that the logging system that I have used
successfully on other linux platforms is not working on
i386-redhat-linux-gnu.

The logging system is designed to store logging messages and then write
them to the log file in a low priority thread.  However when I run the
code on i386-redhat-linux-gnu the logging thread doesn't even start.
The main Logger class implements runnable, and a new thread is created
in the constructor:

  public Logger( Log p_log)
  {
if(o_verbosity > 0) System.out.println("creating new logger");
o_messages = new Vector(100);
o_log = p_log;
o_thread = new Thread( this);
o_running = false;
o_sem = new Semaphore();
o_thread.start();
if(o_verbosity > 0) System.out.println("starting logger thread");
  }

and as you can see the thread is started, but the run method doesn't
start.  Or at least the debug command on the first line of the run
command does not get displayed:


  public void run()
  {
if(o_verbosity > 0) System.out.println("logger thread running ...");

o_running = true;
...
...


And yes, the o_verbosity is set to 10.  Is there some special setting
that I need on red hat linux to allow the spawning of new threads?

Thanks in advance.

AMD64 JVM crashing.

2004-08-05 Thread Sam Varshavchik
I am using the 1.4.2-rc1 build for AMD64 on Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.7 
(this occurs with all recent errata releases of the 2.6.7 kernel for FC2).

Trying out various bits of java code, I can reliably crash the entire JVM 
with a segmentation fault in a couple of ways:

A) Running eclipse, and trying to set up a new project using the extssh2 
plugin to check out some Java code from sourceforge, eventually the JVM 
crashes at some point with a segfault.

B) A more reliable way to segfault the JVM is by running Mozilla, going to 
http://games.yahoo.com, and trying to run the "Tip Top" applet.  The JVM 
crashes every time.  Other applets work fine -- I can run the "Dynomite" 
applet without crashing, for example.  Its performance on blackdown's AMD64 
JVM seems rather jerky to me, compared to Sun's i586 jvm running on a 
comparatively slower i686 box.  But the AMD64 box has a slow video card, so 
that may be it.

Can anyone else run that Tip Top applet on AMD64, without crashing?

Yeah, the amd64 build is not quite stable for me.  I can usually get it to

 Wait.  Eventually this will be fixed, I suppose.

That sounds like an OS issue. A user application such as Java does not

BTW, if you believe the issue is in Sun JDK, you should definitely
file a bug with Sun.
No.  Whatever the bug is, the issue is not with Sun.  As you said, a user 
application like java -- even if being run as root -- should not lock up a 
system like that.  This should properly reported as a Mandrake bug, against 
the kernel component.

Upon starting firefox, and entering "about:plugins" into the location,

Has anyone had any luck running applets in firefox on amd64 machines?
No, ditto for Mozilla.  about:plugins does work for me in Mozilla; however 
trying to run an applet inevitably crashes the browser, sooner or later. 
Some applets work; some never work.  Some work randomly.

RedHat does not distribute Blackdown binaries. RedHat only distributes
the IBM JRE and SDK to its customers.
I'm not 100% sure about other distributions, but I haven't heard about
any distro shipping with the Blackdown JRE or JDK. I might be wrong
though.
Dominic, do you know if RedHat was distributing Blackdown before the 
IBM JRE/SDK became available?
I've been using Red Hat since 1996.  I do not recall Red Hat ever shipping 
Blackdown.

Also do you know if did they have to obtain a commercial distribution 
license with either IBM and/or Sun?
Red Hat ships IBM's JRE/SDK only with their "Enterprise" product line, 
AFAIK, which costs a few grand per seat.

So, yeah, there's a license in there somewhere.  Almost a certainty.  But 
only from IBM.  I can't think of any reason why Red Hat would need a Sun 
license. AFAIK, IBM's JRE/SDK is not derived from Sun's codebase.

How uninformed. RHEL/ES starts at $349, while WS is $179. If you have a beef 
Does the ES/WS packages have IBM's JRE/SDK?

You don't need to copy your jar files anywhere.  Just add the jar files to
