I'm trying to compile this x86 assembly code on x64 Debian : BITS 32 %include 'training.s' global main extern exit ; =============================================== section .text main: ; The program begins here: call read_hex mov edx,eax call read_hex add eax,edx add eax,eax inc eax call print_eax ; Exit the process: push 0 call exit I'm getting these errors: ~$nasm -f elf -g 0_strange_calc.asm && ld -o 0_strange_calc 0_strange_calc.o ld: i386 architecture of input file `0_strange_calc.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to

I'm getting started preparing an installation script for a software package onto an Ubuntu server. I would like to write a script as a .deb package that is aware of dependencies that must be installed beforehand (a database, web server, etc.). Can you recommend any tutorials/resources to help a newbie developer get started writing deb packages? Update: Canonical has a thorough Packaging Guide which explains the process very well. If you are entirely new to building Debian packages, I suggest that you look at the Debian New Maintainers' Guide and use the Debian Developer's Reference as

I have created a java application for "Debian Linux." Now I want that that application reads a file placed in the directory where the jar file of that application is specified. So what to specify at the argument of the File Object? File fileToBeReaded = new File(...); What to specify as argument for the above statement to specify relative filepath representing the path where the jar file of the application has been placed? If you know the name of the file, of course it's simply new File("./myFileName") If you don't know the name, you can use the File object's list() method to get a list of

I've installed a self-signed root ca cert into debian's /usr/share/ca-certificates/local and installed them with sudo dpkg-reconfigure ca-certificates . At this point true | gnutls-cli mysite.local is happy, and true | openssl s_client -connect mysite.local:443 is happy, but python2 and python3 requests module insists it is not happy with the cert. python2: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/api.py", line 70, in get return request('get', url, params=params, **kwargs) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site

In Windows, JAVA_HOME must point to the JDK installation folder (so that JAVA_HOME/bin contains all executables and JAVA_HOME/libs contains all default jar libraries). If I download Sun's JDK bundle and installs it in Linux, it is the same procedure. However, I need to use Kubuntu's default OpenJDK package. The problem is that all executables are placed in /usr/bin . But the jars are placed in /usr/share/java . Since they are not under the same JAVA_HOME folder I'm having trouble with Grails and maybe there will be trouble with other applications that expect the standard Java structure. If I
