Java 6 unter Leopard

OSX No Comments »

Für alle die Java 6 brauchen (z.B. für Serverside Development), waren sowohl die letzten Tiger Updates ein Greul als auch die neue Leopard Version. Ehrlich gesagt verstehe ich das Theater nicht; auf den verschiedenen Developer Conferences auf denen ich war (Cocoon Get Together, JAX, W-JAX, SAP TechEd) waren mehr und mehr MacBooks zu sehen; speziell die Get Together in Gent (die schon ein paar Jahre her ist) waren superviele Macs zu sehen. Und dann das; die neu zugewonnene Mac Gemeinde aus dem Windows Lager wird mit notorisch schlechter Java Unterstützung gegängelt.
Endlich mal ein guter Grund, warum eine Firma “Open-Source machen” sollte; das JDK ist frei verfügbar. Und unsere Kollegen aus dem FreeBSD Lager haben die selben Probleme wie wir, also kein JDK Support von Sun.
Danket dem Herrn Landon, hier gibt es ein Patch für OSX und sicherlich noch mehr spannende Dinge in Zukunft.

Leopard does not need SSHKeychain anymore

OSX, Switching, Tools No Comments »

Leopard automatically comes with SSHKeychain support, so no external application is needed anymore. At first (before uninstalling) remove the mark “Manage (and modify) global environment variables” from SSHKeychain - then throw it away, it’s plist and remove it from the automatic startup. The easiest way is to reboot now, at least log off to remove the bash environment variable set by SSHKeychain.
Afterwards try following command:

kulawik-nb:.ssh skulawik$ echo $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
/tmp/launch-HYbqHA/Listeners

The result should be something like “/tmP/launch*” (otherwise SSHKeychain is still running).
Then change the ssh config file (this was previously done by SSHKeychain configuration):

joe ~/.ssh/config

and enter such lines (this ones could be repeated):

IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_privat
To get best Linux experience (Page-up / down / et all) try my private Terminal.app settings for Leopard:

Linux.terminal.gz

How to enable Time Machine on unsupported volumes

OSX No Comments »

Thanks to Engadget:

Although we’ve been mostly happy with Leopard, one of the features we were most looking forward to was the ability to set Time Machine to use a NAS volume like Airport Disk, thus making laptop backups wireless and sexy (well, sort of sexy) instead of wired and cumbersome. Sadly, Apple cut the feature at the last minute, but as with all things OS X, nirvana is usually just a defaults write command away, and Volker Weber has got it sorted for us. Just pop open a terminal window and enter:

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

and you should be able to select NAS volumes in the Time Machine prefs. Of course, you should only re-enable this for giggles — we don’t know why Apple turned it off to begin with, and it could very well be full of bugs and hose your data. Considering some of the other glitches that have cropped up in Time Machine, we’d actually recommend staying well away from this one, but if you’re desperate, by all means — go for it and let us know how it works in comments!

Widescreen / Letterbox für Mail.app unter Leopard (update)

OSX, Tools 1 Comment »

Nachdem das gute Letterbox seinen Dienst eingestellt hat oder einfach nicht mehr zuverlässig funktioniert, gibt es jetzt ein neues 10.5 Plugin für Mail.app welches den selben Zweck erfüllt.

Update: unter http://www.daneharnett.com/widescreen/WidescreenMailPlugin.html gibt es jetzt auch eine mehrzeilige Version mit Betreff in der zweiten Zeile! SEHR COOL!

mySQL on Leopard

OSX No Comments »

Just install the latest Version for 10.4, afterwards create a symlink:
sudo ln -s /tmp/mysql.sock /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock

Then mySQL can be started or stopped with this command:
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM stop
sudo /Library/StartupItems/MySQLCOM/MySQLCOM start

A ps -awx | grep mysql should show this:
137 ?? 0:00.02 /bin/sh ./bin/mysqld_safe –datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data –pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/kulawik-nb.haj.kulawik.site.pid
189 ?? 0:22.95 /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld –basedir=/usr/local/mysql –datadir=/usr/local/mysql/data –user=mysql –pid-file=/usr/local/mysql/data/kulawik-nb.haj.kulawik.site.pid

Make sure, that Mail.app is closed!

Copy the disabled bundle
/Users/yourName/Library/Mail/Bundles (Disabled)
into:
/Users/yourName/Library/Mail/Bundles
Enter in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.mail EnableBundles 1
defaults write com.apple.mail BundleCompatibilityVersion 3

Et voila!

Fun and Nerd Stuff, OSX, Switching No Comments »

Very funny :

There were plenty of guys that looked kind of like the Mac guy from the commercials, and one of them amused me.

“Are you here for Leopard?”

“Yeah.”

“You know, you could probably pick up a copy down the street at the CompUSA without having to wait in line. So why come here and stand around for an hour or more?”

He shrugged. “I don’t have anywhere else to be.”

Spoken like a true nerd on a Friday night.

:)

Leopard: A beautiful upgrade

Very nice to read article about the architecture used in OSX. Already done my first steps using Objective-C and Cocoa as well as some basic knowledge about MFC and KDE3/Qt let me agree with Tom.
