  • An Introduction to the X Window System Introduction to X's Anatomy
    An Introduction to the X Window System Robert Lupton This is a limited and partisan introduction to ‘The X Window System’, which is widely but improperly known as X-windows, specifically to version 11 (‘X11’). The intention of the X-project has been to provide ‘tools not rules’, which allows their basic system to appear in a very large number of confusing guises. This document assumes that you are using the configuration that I set up at Peyton Hall † There are helpful manual entries under X and Xserver, as well as for individual utilities such as xterm. You may need to add /usr/princeton/X11/man to your MANPATH to read the X manpages. This is the first draft of this document, so I’d be very grateful for any comments or criticisms. Introduction to X’s Anatomy X consists of three parts: The server The part that knows about the hardware and how to draw lines and write characters. The Clients Such things as terminal emulators, dvi previewers, and clocks and The Window Manager A programme which handles negotiations between the different clients as they fight for screen space, colours, and sunlight. Another fundamental X-concept is that of resources, which is how X describes any- thing that a client might want to specify; common examples would be fonts, colours (both foreground and background), and position on the screen. Keys X can, and usually does, use a number of special keys. You are familiar with the way that <shift>a and <ctrl>a are different from a; in X this sensitivity extends to things like mouse buttons that you might not normally think of as case-sensitive.

    Foss Lviv 2013 191 - Linux VM з Wordpress на Azure під’єднано до SQL-бази в приватному центрі обробки даних. Як бачимо, бізнес Microsoft вже дуже сильно зав'язаний на Open Source! Далі в доповіді будуть розглянуті подробиці інтероперабельності платформ з Linux Server, Apache Hadoop, Java, PHP, Node.JS, MongoDb, і наостанок дізнаємося про цікаві Open Source-розробки Microsoft Research. OpenSource Software in Mac OS X V. Zhhuta UK2 LImIted t/a VPS.NET, [email protected] Max OS X stem from Unix: bSD. It contains a lot of things that are common for Unix systems. Kernel, filesystem and base unix utilities as well as it's own package managers. It's not a secret that Mac OS X has a bSD kernel Darwin. The raw Mac OS X won't provide you with all power of Unix but this could be easily fixed: install package manager. There are 3 package manager: MacPorts, Fink and Homebrew. To dive in OpenSource world of mac os x we would try to install lates version of bash, bash-completion and few other utilities. Where we should start? First of all you need to install on you system dev-tools: Xcode – native development tools that contain GCC and libraries. Next step: bring a GIU – X11 into your system. Starting from Mac OS 10.8 X11 is not included in base-installation and it's need to install Xquartz(http://xquartz.macosforge.org). Now it's time to look closely to package managers MacPorts Site: www.macports.org Latest MacPorts release: 2.1.3 Number of ports: 16740 MacPorts born inside Apple in 2002.

It is designed to get customers up and running quickly and describes how to compile and run a DPDK application in a FreeBSD application (bsdapp) environment, without going deeply into detail. For a comprehensive guide to installing and using FreeBSD, the following handbook is available from the FreeBSD Documentation Project: FreeBSD Handbook. Note: The DPDK is now available as part of the FreeBSD ports collection. Installing via the ports collection infrastructure is now the recommended way to install the DPDK on FreeBSD, and is documented in the next chapter, Installing DPDK from the Ports Collection.

  • The Qosbox: Quantitative Service Differentiation in BSD Routers∗
    The QoSbox: Quantitative Service Differentiation in BSD Routers∗ Nicolas Christin Jorg¨ Liebeherr Information Networking Institute and The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of CyLab Japan Electrical and Computer Engineering Carnegie Mellon University University of Toronto 1-3-3-17 Higashikawasaki-cho 10 King’s College Road Chuo-ku, Kobe 650-0044, Japan Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada [email protected] [email protected] Abstract We describe the design and implementation of the QoSbox, a configurable IP router that provides per-hop service differentiation on loss, delays and throughput to classes of traffic. The novel aspects of the QoSbox are that (1) the QoSbox does not rely on any external component (e.g., no traffic shaping and no admission control) to provide the desired service differentiation, but instead, (2) dynamically adapts packet forwarding and dropping decisions as a function of the instantaneous traffic arrivals and allows for temporary relaxation of some service objectives; also, (3) the QoSbox can enforce both absolute and proportional service differentiation on queuing delays, loss rates, and throughput at the same time. We focus on a publicly available implementation of the QoSbox in BSD-based PC-routers. We evaluate our implementation in a testbed of BSD routers over a FastEthernet network, and we sketch how the QoSbox can be implemented in high speed architectures. Keywords: Quality-of-Service Implementations, Service Differentiation, PC-Routers, BSD, High-Speed Networks. ∗Most of this work was done while both authors were with the University of Virginia. This work was supported in part by the National Science Foundation through grants ANI-9730103 and ANI-0085955.

  • Translate's Localization Guide
    Translate’s Localization Guide Release 0.9.0 Translate Jun 26, 2020 Contents 1 Localisation Guide 1 2 Glossary 191 3 Language Information 195 i ii CHAPTER 1 Localisation Guide The general aim of this document is not to replace other well written works but to draw them together. So for instance the section on projects contains information that should help you get started and point you to the documents that are often hard to find. The section of translation should provide a general enough overview of common mistakes and pitfalls. We have found the localisation community very fragmented and hope that through this document we can bring people together and unify information that is out there but in many many different places. The one section that we feel is unique is the guide to developers – they make assumptions about localisation without fully understanding the implications, we complain but honestly there is not one place that can help give a developer and overview of what is needed from them, we hope that the developer section goes a long way to solving that issue. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this document is to provide one reference for localisers. You will find lots of information on localising and packaging on the web but not a single resource that can guide you. Most of the information is also domain specific ie it addresses KDE, Mozilla, etc. We hope that this is more general. This document also goes beyond the technical aspects of localisation which seems to be the domain of other lo- calisation documents.

  • Teleporting in an X Window System Environment
    Teleporting in an X Window System Environment Tristan Richardson,∗ Frazer Bennett,∗ Glenford Mapp,∗ and Andy Hopper∗† ∗ Olivetti Research Laboratory y University of Cambridge Old Addenbrooke's Site Computer Laboratory 24a Trumpington Street Pembroke Street Cambridge Cambridge CB2 1QA CB2 3QG United Kingdom United Kingdom November 1993 Abstract Teleporting is the ability to redirect a windowing environment to different computer displays. This paper describes the implementation of a teleporting system developed at Olivetti Research Laboratory (ORL). We outline two particular features of the system that make it powerful. First, it operates with existing applications, which will run without any modification. Second, it incorporates sophisticated techniques of personnel and equipment location which make it simple to use. Teleporting may represent a development in attempts to achieve a ubiquitous, personalised computing environment for all. 1 Introduction In the near future, communication networks will make it possible to access computing services from almost anywhere in the world. In addition, the number of computers readily available within an office is increasing. We would like to allow individuals to make use of such networked computing facilities as they move from place to place, whilst retaining the familiarity of their own computing environment. A windowing environment offers a coherent means of interacting with a computer via a screen, keyboard and mouse. Typically, a user would run any number of applications within such a windowing environment. Traditionally, these applications have been bound to one display, offering output at and accepting input from only one fixed point within the building (i.e. the display on which they were started).
