  • 1. D-Bus a D-Bus FAQ Szerint D-Bus Egy Interprocessz-Kommunikációs Protokoll, És Annak Referenciamegvalósítása
    Az Udev / D-Bus rendszer - a modern asztali Linuxok alapja A D-Bus rendszer minden modern Linux disztribúcióban jelen van, sőt mára már a Linux, és más UNIX jellegű, sőt nem UNIX rendszerek (különösen a desktopon futó változatok) egyik legalapvetőbb technológiája, és az ismerete a rendszergazdák számára lehetővé tesz néhány rendkívül hasznos trükköt, az alkalmazásfejlesztőknek pedig egyszerűen KÖTELEZŐ ismerniük. Miért ilyen fontos a D-Bus? Mit csinál? D-Bus alapú technológiát teszik lehetővé többek között azt, hogy közönséges felhasználóként a kedvenc asztali környezetünkbe bejelentkezve olyan feladatokat hajtsunk végre, amiket a kernel csak a root felasználónak engedne meg. Felmountolunk egy USB meghajtót? NetworkManagerrel konfiguráljuk a WiFi-t, a 3G internetet vagy bármilyen más hálózati csatolót, és kapcsolódunk egy hálózathoz? Figyelmeztetést kapunk a rendszertől, hogy új szoftverfrissítések érkeztek, majd telepítjük ezeket? Hibernáljuk, felfüggesztjük a gépet? A legtöbb esetben ma már D-Bus alapú technológiát használunk ilyen esetben. A D-Bus lehetővé teszi, hogy egymástól függetlenül, jellemzően más UID alatt indított szoftverösszetevők szabványos és biztonságos módon igénybe vegyék egymás szolgáltatásait. Ha valaha lesz a Linuxhoz professzionális desktop tűzfal vagy vírusirtó megoldás, a dolgok jelenlegi állasa szerint annak is D- Bus technológiát kell használnia. A D-Bus technológia legfontosabb ihletője a KDE DCOP rendszere volt, és mára a D-Bus leváltotta a DCOP-ot, csakúgy, mint a Gnome Bonobo technológiáját. 1. D-Bus A D-Bus FAQ szerint D-Bus egy interprocessz-kommunikációs protokoll, és annak referenciamegvalósítása. Ezen referenciamegvalósítás egyik összetevője, a libdbus könyvtár a D- Bus szabványnak megfelelő kommunikáció megvalósítását segíti. Egy másik összetevő, a dbus- daemon a D-Bus üzenetek routolásáért, szórásáért felelős.

  • Happy Birthday Linux
    25 Jahre Linux! Am Anfang war der Quellcode Entstehungsgeschichte und Werdegang von Linux Entwicklung und Diversifizierung der Distributionen Der Wert von Linux oder: „Wat nix kost, dat is och nix.“ Andreas Klein ORR 2016 1 Am Anfang war der Quellcode (70er) ● 1969, Ken Thompson u. Dennis Ritchie erstellen die erste Version von Unix in Assembler. ● Von 1969-1971 entwickeln sie gemeinsam die Programmiersprache B. ● Ab 1971 erweiterte in erster Linie Dennis Ritchie B, um weitere Elemente und nannte sie Anfangs NB (new B). ● 1973 waren die Erweiterungen soweit gediehen, das er die stark verbesserte Sprache C nannte (Brian W. Kernighan hat ebenfalls maßgeblich dazu beigetragen). //Unix=25 PCs ● Bis 1974 war das gesamte Betriebssystem UNIX vollständig in C implementiert und wurde mit einem C-Compiler kostenfrei an verschiedene Universitäten verteilt. ● 1978 wurden bereits über 600 Computer mit dem UNIX-Betriebssystemen betrieben. ● Das aufblühende Zeitalter der Computerisierung der 70er Jahre war geprägt vom regen und freien Austausch von Programmen und dessen zugrunde liegenden Ideen. Sinnvoller Weise tauschte man diese als Quellcode untereinander aus. ● 1979 wurde von AT&T die letzte UNIX-Version 7, mit freiem Quellcode veröffentlicht. Andreas Klein ORR 2016 2 Am Anfang war der Quellcode (80er) ● 1980 – 1983 AT&T sowie zahlreiche andere Unternehmen beginnen mit der Kommerzialisierung von UNIX, durch Koppelung an stark beschränkenden Lizenzen und Geheimhaltung des zugrunde liegenden Quelltextes. ● Richard Stallman kündigt am 27. September 1983 in den Newsgroups net.unix-wizards und net.usoft das GNU-Projekt an. ● Am 5. Januar 1984 begann Stallman offiziell mit der Arbeit am GNU-Projekt, nachdem er seine Stelle am MIT gekündigt hatte.

  • Linux – Das Umfassende Handbuch 1.430 Seiten, Gebunden, Mit CD, 14
    Know-howWissen, wie’s für geht. Kreative. Leseprobe In dieser Leseprobe erhalten Sie einen Einstieg in die Linux-Welt und erfahren, wie Sie Audio und Video unter Linux nutzen. Dar- über hinaus lernen Sie die Kommandozentrale kennen: die Shell. Außerdem können Sie einen Blick in das vollständige Inhalts- und Stichwortverzeichnis des Buches werfen. »Was ist Linux?« »Installationsgrundlagen« »Audio und Video« »Die Shell« »Software- und Paketverwaltung« Inhaltsverzeichnis Index Der Autor Leseprobe weiterempfehlen Michael Kofler Linux – Das umfassende Handbuch 1.430 Seiten, gebunden, mit CD, 14. Auflage 2015 49,90 Euro, ISBN 978-3-8362-3775-8 www.rheinwerk-verlag.de/3855 “buch” — 2015/11/5 — 21:54 — page 25 — #19 1 Kapitel 1 Was ist Linux? Um die einleitende Frage zu beantworten, erkläre ich in diesem Kapitel zuerst einige wichtige Begriffe, die im gesamten Buch immer wieder verwendet werden: Betriebs- system, Unix, Distribution, Kernel etc. Ein knapper Überblick über die Merkmale von Linux und die verfügbaren Programme macht deutlich, wie weit die Anwendungs- möglichkeiten von Linux reichen. Es folgt ein kurzer Ausflug in die Geschichte von Linux: Sie erfahren, wie Linux entstanden ist und auf welchen Komponenten es basiert. Von zentraler Bedeutung ist dabei natürlich die General Public License (kurz GPL), die angibt, unter welchen Bedingungen Linux weitergegeben werden darf. Erst die GPL macht Linux zu einem freien System, wobei »frei« mehr heißt als einfach »kostenlos«. 1.1 Einführung Linux ist ein Unix-ähnliches Betriebssystem. Der wichtigste Unterschied gegenüber historischen Unix-Systemen besteht darin, dass Linux zusammen mit dem vollstän- digen Quellcode frei kopiert werden darf. Ein Betriebssystem ist ein Bündel von Programmen, mit denen die grundlegend- Betriebssystem sten Funktionen eines Rechners realisiert werden: die Schnittstelle zwischen Mensch und Maschine (also konkret: die Verwaltung von Tastatur, Bildschirm etc.) und die Verwaltung der Systemressourcen (CPU-Zeit, Speicher etc.).
