  71
  72                               <h3>Cleartrig and font problems on Linux clients</h3>
  73
  74 <p>I hit a few problems when attempting to verify proper execution of Clearcase/Clearquest and our WOR integration on Linux machines.</p>
  75
  76 <h3>Cleartrig problems</h3>
  77
  78 <p>The first problem was that the Linux installation of Cleartrig (remotely accessible through /cleartrib/bin) was missing execute permissions for group and other. The solution to this was to add execute permissions.</p>
  79
  80 <h3>Font Problems</h3>
  81
  82 <p>his is running under the assumption that:</p>
  83
  84 <ol>
  85   <li>The user is on a Solaris box and running CDE and</li>
  86
  87   <li>The user is remotely logged into a Linux box (currently only ranlin02 and ranlin03) and displaying back to his/her Solaris machine</li>
  88 </ol>
  89
  90 <p>The user may see dialog boxes with no text or other errors relating to fonts. Since most engineers use Solaris and CDE many X Font Resources are set to fonts only available on CDE supported systems<sup>1</sup>. For example, executing xrdb -q | grep -i font may result in the
  91 following:</p>
  92
  93 <div class=code><pre>
  94 *Font:             -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
  95 *FontList:         -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
  96 *labelFontList:    -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
  97 ...
  98 </pre></div>
  99
 100 <p>Needless to say these "dt" fonts are not known in the Linux world and this causes Clearcase/Clearquest some problems when running remotely displayed to an X server using such font. The solution is to use more universally acceptable fonts such as fixed. The following set of X Font Resources seems to work:</p>
 101
 102 <div class=code><pre>
 103 *Font:                  fixed
 104 *FontList:              fixed
 105 *labelFontList:         fixed
 106 *buttonFontList:        fixed
 107 *textFontList:          fixed
 108 *DtEditor*textFontList: fixed
 109 *systemFont:            fixed
 110 *XmText*FontList:       fixed
 111 *FontSet:               fixed
 112 *XmTextField*FontList:  fixed
 113 *fontGroup:             Courier
 114 </pre></div>
 115
 116 <p>If you are experiencing problems with X Fonts when running from a Linux machine add the above lines to a file, say ~/.fonts then do</p>
 117
 118 <div class=code><pre>
 119 $ xrdb -m ~/.fonts
 120 </pre></div>
 121
 122 <h4>Notes:</h4>
 123 <ol>
 124   <li><a name="note1"></a>These "dt" fonts are often set into CDE's environment when say using the Style Manager to change your font settings.</li>

 206                               <p>I downloaded the Rational 2003.06.00 release tarball that Carlos provided me and installed it on ranlin02. I have the following problem when trying to run Clearquest I get the following error:</p>

 211 </pre></div>
 212
 213 <p>Looking at the <a

 232
 233 <p>And, of course:</p>

 235 <div class=code><pre>

 237 <font color="#3333ff"><b>Ranlin02</b></font>:
 238 </pre></div>
 239
 240 <p>So can we get XFree86-devel-* installed?</p>
 241
 242 <p>On a different but related note, we generally support only Sun and only csh (and it's derivatives - tcsh). We have a serious of csh style start up scripts (which I've largely replicated/converted for bash...) one of which sources /prj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh. That is merely a copy of a /opt/rational/clearquest/bin/cq_setup.csh. Contained therein is a reference to sun5 which is bad because this source of /prj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh is global and thus sourced by users of Linux machines. Naturally Linux user will not be finding any sun5 executables nor executing them.</p>
 243
 244 <p>I've made a modification to /proj/muosran/config/cq_setup.csh as such:</p>
 245
 246 <div class=code><pre>
 247 #!/bin/csh -f<br><br>#  Andrew@DeFaria.com 07-25-2007: By specifying sun5 we tie
 248 # ourselves to an architecture. There is no need to do this.
 249 # Call the clearquest in /opt/rational/clearquest/bin and let
 250 # it figure out our architecture.
 251
 252 #eval `/opt/rational/clearquest/sun5/bin/clearquest -dumpcsh`<br>eval `/opt/rational/clearquest/bin/clearquest -dumpcsh`
 253
 254 set var = $status
 255 if ($var != 0) then
 256     unset var
 257     exit(2)
 258 endif
 259 unset var
 260
 261 #echo "You can now run 'clearquest' to start Rational ClearQuest."
 262 </pre></div>
 263
 264 <p>Still all of this seem pretty arbitrary. What is the above script doing but checking that clearquest can simply be run? Why set an environment variable (var) only to test it and then ultimately unset it?!? Seems like really odd and unnecessary code from IBM/Rational.</p>

 302                               <h2>Automating Clearcase Installs</h2>
 303
 304 <p>Often you want to easily and quickly be able to install Clearcase on systems. Of course, there are lots of considerations, hence lots of parameters to consider. IBM/Rational's solution to this is <i>install_release</i> which is really just a script that calls <i>inst_rls</i>, yet another Perl script, to do the installation. As it does it prompts for parameters and performs the install. But it would be nice to be able to run through the prompts once, answering all the questions for a batch of similarly configured machines, then run that install on those machines.</p>
 305
 306 <p>Now IBM/Rational even thought of this and <i>install_release</i> has a facility to perform multiple installs remotely to a bunch of machines. But you may not have all of those machines up and running nor identified.</p>
 307
 308 <p>Or you may wish to automate the process yourself, scripting a solution that queries other things to determine exactly which type of install to do.</p>

 517 <p><small class="AllCaps Text"><b>CONFIGURATION RECORDS.</b></small>
 518 The file <b>view_db.crs_file</b> in the <b>.s</b> subdirectory is actually part of the view's database, as described inthe following section. It is the part that stores the configuration records of derived objects built in the view.</p>

 525
 526 <p>Compressed copies of the configuration records are cached in a view-private file, <b>.cmake.state</b>, located in the directory that was current when the build started. This speeds up configuration lookup during subsequent builds in the view.</p>

 529
 530 <p>The view_db.crs_file can get fairly large over time. This is another reason why Rational says that "views should be used like Kleenex".</p>

 532 <h2>Recovering View Space</h2>
 533
 534 <p>According to <a

 536
 537 <blockquote>
 538
 539 <h3> Release view database disk space back to the system.</h3>
 540
 541 <p>As data is collected in a view, the view's database increases in size. Commands such as view_scrubber that remove DOs from a view merely release logical space inside the view's database. That is, the disk space taken by the database does not shrink. This is true for the <i>view-storage</i>/db/* files and the <i>view-storage</i>/.s/view_db.crs_file file (which contains the derived object configuration records). To actually release that
 542 space back to the system, one needs to run recoverview twice on that view. Normally recoverview is only needed when a VOB is no longer available and the view's view-private files that once belonged to the VOB are now stranded. However, it has the added benefit that it calls reformatview, which in turn cleans up the database.</p>
 543
 544 <p>The recoverview must be run twice. The first pass releases any unused space in the database back to the system and cleans up CRs no longer attached to a DO. The second pass releases the now newly unused space (freed up in the first pass) back to the system. A third run has no affect.</p>
 545
 546 <p>An attempt to run reformatview by itself (which is actually the only part that is really needed) will result in the message "reformat not needed for view". Unfortunately,  reformatview does not have a -force option, but recoverview does.</p>

 559 <h3>Clearcase 7.0.1.0 Installation on Linux</h3>
 560
 561 <p>In installing Clearcase 7.0.1.0 on Linux, Kirk and Tom were having problems getting it set up as a registry server. One problem was that they incorrectly named the config file rgy_srv.conf instead of rgy_svr.conf (I always get those wrong myself). There also seems to be an issue where there are two directories, both under /var/adm/rational/clearcase, one named rgy (where the registry is stored) and one named config (where other config files are stored). And there are additional config files related to the registry, rgy_hosts.conf and rgy_region.conf. As it seems to turn out those three files (rgy_svr.conf, rgy_hosts.conf and rgy_region.conf) need to be in both the rgy and config directories under /var/adm/rational/clearcase. Is this new for 7.0.1.0?</p>
 562
 563 <p>Turns out I was mistaken. While I was working on this so was Kirk. So our actions overlapped and effected each other. The real thing is that these rgy_*.conf files rightfully moved from the rgy directory to the conf directory for 7.0.</p>

 613 <p>A lot of CDE and X can be controlled via X Resources. But how do you manage your X resources in a CDE environment? In general, xrdb(1) is your friend. CDE saves your "session" using X resource files that are loaded via xrdb(1) at session start up. Additionally (I believe) that X loads any and all resources in ~/.Xresources at start. So the trick is to get all your X resources into ~/.Xresources and to start actively managing them. You can do this as follows:</p>
 614
 615 <div class=code><pre>
 616 $ xrdb -q &gt; ~/.Xresources
 617 </pre></div>
 618
 619 <p>Now you can add and/or adjust resources in to your liking then do xrdb -l ~/.Xresources. Remember, xrdb -l ~/.Xresources will always get you back to your <i>known set</i> of X Resources.</p>
 620
 621 <h3>To find if a resource is set</h3>
 622
 623 <p>You can see if a resource is set by using the following:</p>
 624
 625 <div class=code><pre>
 626 $ xrdb -q | grep -i &lt;<i>resource string</i>&gt;
 627 </pre></div>
 628
 629 <p>I've attached my ~/.Xresources. Let me bring a few to your attention. Note that resources that start with "*" are global in nature. Thus "*background: &lt;<i>color</i>&gt;" will serve as the background for any X application that doesn't explicitly set a background color. "*"'s between resource names are more general than "."'s. Just think "*" expands to anything where "." expands to one character.</p>
 630
 631 <p>The "Dtwm*0*backdrop*image: NoBackdrop" says not to set a CDE "Backdrop" on any of the workspaces. Instead I use xv to randomly change my backdrops from jpg images. More on that later...</p>
 632
 633 <h3>Using Xresource Classes</h3>
 634
 635 <p>Rather than start Xterms (or dtterms) with:</p>
 636
 637 <div class=code><pre>
 638 $ xterm -fg white -bg black -sl 5000 -cr green \
 639 &gt; -sb -e rsh &lt;other machine&gt;
 640 $ xterm -fg yellow -bg blue -sl 5000 -sb -e rsh &lt;other machine&gt;
 641 </pre></div>
 642
 643 <p>thus having long lists of options, classify your resources such as:</p>
 644
 645 <div class=code><pre>
 646 XServer*background:    Black
 647 XServer*foreground:    Green
 648 XServer*colorBD:       Yellow
 649 XServer*colorUL:       Red
 650 XServer*cursorColor:   Yellow
 651 </pre></div>
 652
 653 <p>Then use xterm -name XServer and all of those X Resources that start with, in this case, XServer will be used. You can set generic or global resources such as;</p>
 654
 655 <div class=code><pre>
 656 XTerm*saveLines:      5000
 657 XTerm*scrollbar:      True
 658 </pre></div>
 659
 660 <h3>Setting Meta (or the Diamond key) to be Emacs mode Meta key</h3>
 661
 662 <p>Did you know that (even in tcsh) generally Emacs key bindings are in effect at the command line. This while arrow up gets you the previous command in the command history stack so does Cntl-P also go to the previous command. Other Emacs bindings that work:</p>
 663
 664 <ul>
 665   <li>C-p: Previous command in history stack</li>
 666   <li>C-n: Next command in history stack</li>
 667   <li>C-a: Go to beginning of line</li>
 668   <li>C-e: Go to end of line</li>
 669   <li>C-f: Go forward one character</li>
 670   <li>M-f: Go forward one word</li>
 671   <li>C-b: Go backward one character</li>
 672   <li>M-b: Go backward one word</li>
 673   <li>C-d: Delete one character</li>
 674   <li>M-d: Delete one word</li>
 675   <li>C-t: Transpose two characters</li>
 676 </ul>
 677
 678 <p>Additionally, in bash, C-r stands for search backward in the history stack. tcsh does not support this. Using such keybindings keeps your hands on the keyboard and improves your productivity.</p>
 679
 680 <p>M-f listed above means "hold the meta key down and type f". The meta key is defined as Escape, which, unfortunately will repeat if held down. Most people map this to the "Alt" key. The Sun keyboard has both an Alt key and two "Diamond" keys that are normally labeled Alt on PC keyboards. Therefore it's good to configure your terminal emulator to
 681 use this Diamond/Alt key as Emacs' Meta key. To do this for Xterm use the following X resource (best put into your ~/.Xresouces):</p>
 682
 683 <div class=code><pre>
 684 Xterm*eightBitInput: True
 685 </pre></div>
 686
 687 <p>and Dtterm:</p>
 688
 689 <div class=code><pre>
 690 Dtterm*kshMode: True
 691 </pre></div>
 692
 693 <p>Side note about "kshMode". This is a misnomer really. True, ksh does support Emacs style keybindings (set -o emacs or set -o vi for you vi guys) and it is useful to have Alt =&gt; Meta. However ksh is not the only shell that this is useful for. It is also useful for tcsh and bash, for example.</p>
 694
 695 <h3>Taking Control of your Buttons and Keybindings</h3>
 696
 697 <p>The following:</p>
 698
 699 <div class=code><pre>
 700 Dtwm*keyBindings:    MyKeys
 701 Dtwm*buttonBindings: MyButtons
 702 </pre></div>
 703
 704 <p>Tell the window manager (Dtwm) not to use the default keyBindings and buttonBindings but instead to use MyKeys and MyButtons instead. These are defined in your dtwmrc, which is under ~/.dt/en_US.ISO8859-1/dtwmrc (which I've also attached). I started by copying the system dtwmrc (cp /usr/dt/config/C/sys.dtwmrc ~/.dt/en_US.ISO8859-1) and then modified it.</p>
 705
 706 <p>You're dtwmrc can be very complicated. See dtwmrc(1) for more info. Here are MyButtons:</p>
 707
 708 <div class=code><pre>
 709 Buttons MyButtons
 710 {
 711   &lt;Btn1Down&gt;        root              f.menu Terminals
 712   &lt;Btn1Down&gt;        window|frame|icon f.raise
 713   &lt;Btn2Click&gt;       root              f.toggle_frontpanel
 714   &lt;Btn3Down&gt;        root              f.menu  DtRootMenu
 715   &lt;Btn3Down&gt;        icon              f.post_wmenu
 716   Shift&lt;Btn1Click&gt;  frame|icon        f.lower
 717   &lt;Btn1Click&gt;       frame|icon|window f.raise
 718   &lt;Btn1Click2&gt;      frame             f.maximize
 719   &lt;Btn1Click2&gt;      icon              f.restore
 720   &lt;Btn2Click&gt;       frame|icon        f.raise_lower
 721   &lt;Btn3Down&gt;        frame|icon        f.post_wmenu
 722   Alt&lt;Btn1Click&gt;    frame|icon|window f.raise
 723   Alt&lt;Btn1Click2&gt;   frame|window      f.minimize
 724   Alt&lt;Btn1Click2&gt;   icon              f.restore
 725   Alt&lt;Btn2Click&gt;    frame|icon        f.raise_lower
 726   Alt&lt;Btn1Down&gt;     frame|icon|window f.move
 727   Alt&lt;Btn3Down&gt;     window            f.minimize
 728 }
 729 </pre></div>
 730
 731 <p>Many of these are taking from the defaults. Here are some of the changes I made:</p>
 732
 733 <ul>
 734   <li>Changed Btn1Down to bring up the "Terminals" menu</li>
 735   <li>Added "window" to the places where a Btn1Down would do a raise. This allows me to click on the window itself to raise it instead of having to find the window border.</li>
 736 </ul>
 737
 738 <h3>Changing your desktop background</h3>
 739
 740 <p>I have a series of images that I like to constantly refresh on my background. I put them in ~/Images. CDE has terrible desktop background support (like circa 1990) and only supports xpm (which is a horrible image file format!). xv is an image viewer than handles more modern image file formats such as .gif, .jpg, and .png. It also has options
 741 for setting the backdrop (provided CDE is not putting up a .xpm backdrop image, hence the "Dtwm*0*backdrop*image: NoBackdrop" setting). Now how do we get this to do this periodically?</p>
 742
 743 <p>The answer? Perl. I've attached a Perl script that sets your backdrop by choosing a random image from all of those under ~/Images every hour or whenever it receives a SIGUSR2.</p>
 744
 745 <p>Oh and if you wish feel free to:</p>
 746
 747 <div class=code><pre>
 748 $ mkdir ~/Images
 749 $ cp ~p6238c/Images ~/Images
 750 </pre></div>
 751
 752 <p>Or</p>

 754 <div class=code><pre>
 755 $ ln -s ~p6258c/Images ~/Images

1273 <p>along with an attachment of medicare.vvv. So, being a good, conscientious citizen I figured I'd report the incident in order to help others down the road. I asked around and was told that I need submit a help desk ticket and that I need to first contact the help desk to do so. Funny, I'd thought this would just be a "forward the email to &lt;x&gt;" and I'd be done with it. So I'm directed to a web page which has the number for the help desk. I call that number (it's 9:40 Am mind you) and I get voice mail saying "I'm sorry but nobody's here to take your call" and to leave a message. So, wanting to dispose of this issue rather than have it remain, I decided to go back to the web site and see if there was an answer to the question. I searched for "report phishing attempts" and "report spam" and there was nothing found! Oh well I tried but does this frustrate anybody else as much as it does me?</p>
1274
1275 <p>Oh and if click on the Contact Us link you'll start and email that will be returned to you undeliverable!</p>
