So I am using Ozone OS which is basically just fedora with a cool theme, and a lot less crap installed. I tried installing VMWare Horizon view client from here: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details?downloadGroup=VIEWCLIENTS_LINUX_32&productId=421&rPId=7320
and then i renamed the file to vmware.bundle, when i make it runnable with:
chmod +x vmware.bundle
i ran the file using:
./vmware.bundle
this is what happens in my terminal
VMWare Horizon Client is an x86 application but you are trying to install it to an x64 Linux.
To run this installation, you may need to install 32-bit runtime libraries. Do you want to proceed? (yes/no)yes
Extracting VMware Installer...done.
but when i try going to the application menu, I can find VMware anywhere
There is really no such thing as ".bundle" files on Fedora. The only format for installable software on Fedora are RPM files.
All that this ".bundle" file appears to be, is the vendor's custom installation script, that's all. It's not any kind of a standard packaging format, of any kind.
You will be able to find a newly-installed application on your application menu only if the application correctly installed a .desktop file in the right location. If this installation script did not do so, you won't get anything in the application menu.
It is the application script's responsibility to install a .desktop file in order for the application to appear in the application menu.
try running /bin/vmware
that is the default install location

I recently downloaded the debian installer iso to use with virtualbox. For security reasons, I mounted it to ensure it was legit. I noticed a file labeled setup.exe. Why would a linux installer be a windows file, and how would the computer be able to run it?
I then decided to look throught the microsoft windows installer. It too used an exe file. How could it run the exe to install windows without windows instlled?
The Debian project has an installer for Microsoft Windows that provides a UI for installing GNU/Linux beginning on a MS Windows platform.
The Windows kernel can be loaded from disk and once it is loaded, like on install, it can start running a .exe file. For similar reasons Linux is an elf format binary. This is how a "Live" disk works, it loads the kernel and then loads up the entire OS including window manager from disk.
To your first question :
I bet you are running VirtualBox on a Windows client right? So there is nothing wrong with using a windows file :)
I must admit i'm not much of a coder or computer scientist, but in the past a friend installed Weechat on my windows computer using Cygwin (via the Cygwin terminal of course). I have a new computer now thats running windows 8.1 and have installed Cygwin with all of the necessary packages, and downloaded the latest stable version of Weechat (1.2). I am stuck from there though and don't really know which direction to move in, the only thing I have done with Cygwin so far is moved the home terminal folder to a more easier accessible location. Would it be possible to get a step by step walkthrough of how the installation progresses after downloading both the Cygwin component and the Weechat files and scripts?
Before we you can start using WeeChat, there are a few other pieces of software you need to install with CygWin. WeeChat relies on them for its functionality, which is why they are called dependencies.
You can find a detailed list of dependencies and further instructions on this link:
Weechat on Windows
Feel free to ask for further help if the above guide wouldn't suffice.
EDIT
WeeChat is currently available via the CygWin native repositories.
Simply search for weechat in the CygWin package manager.
I already have CygWin installed, what now?
No worries, simply rerun the setup-x86-64.exe* you've downloaded. This process won't remove any of your previously installed packages. At the end of the installation process you'll be able to look for and install WeeChat.
* (on 32-bit systems, the installer would be named setup-x86.exe)
In my organization C developers developed one Application and given to us as a .exe format.
If any end-user send any Http request.This .exe will be run, for this I wrote the Java code(ProcessBuilder()) and deployed in Application Server(Apache Tomcat).It's working fine.These everything was done in my local system(Windows 7).
But we are using Ubuntu 12.04 as a server.Here that .exe file is not working.
How can I fix this.
You need to install wine software if you want to run a .exe file in ubuntu .
installing the wine software in ubuntu is a simple two step process.
Type the command in the terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5
Once the wine is installed, you can open any .exe file using wine .
Say this , i have a file game.exe , right click - open with - wine .
You need to install wine software if you want to run a .exe file in ubuntu . installing the wine software in ubuntu is a simple two step process. Type the command in the terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.5 (1.5 changes with what ever number the latest edition is)
Even better go to Ubuntu software center and install thru GUI based process
Once the wine is installed, you can open any .exe file using wine . Say this , i have a file pumpai.exe , right click - open with - wine .
And Enjoy...Its Open Source..........

You basically can't execute a windows executable on Linux (but maybe try with wine).
You should ask the source code of that C application inside your organization, and port it and compile it (with gcc -Wall -g at first) on your Linux server.
I suggest you to install Linux on your local machine (or laptop) to learn it first.
Can somebody tell me how to do this? Or, point me to a good link?
I want to install Jmeter but "./jmeter" tells me that:
Error: no server' JVM atC:\Program
Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
So, I need to get the server JVM up and running.
I have been attempting to download and install the JDK from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u25-download-346242.html
And got a corrupted file error when I tried to install:
jdk-6u25-linux-ia64-rpm.bin
Should I be doing this via wget or apt-cyg? Or, how do i determine which installation
package I should be downloading from the oracle/sun downloads page?
Thanks in advance.
You are on Windows so you should try the Windows x86 version unless there is a particular reason why you want to do that with Cygwin. Or try this:
Copy 'server' folder from the JDK's JRE's bin folder (example: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\bin\server)
Paste the 'server' folder to JRE's bin folder (example: C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0\bin)
Cygwin aims for Linux source compatibility, but it does not provide Linux binary compatibility. This means that programs have to be built specifically for Cygwin and that Linux binaries such as the linux-ia64 JVM mentioned here will not run on Cygwin.
Perhaps it is possible to build the OpenJDK JVM for Cygwin, but it doesn't ship with Cygwin. The Cygwin Ports repository contains a package for the lightweight JamVM.
But in any case, JMeter was looking for the native Windows version of the JVM, so you probably just want to install that, as Jano already suggested.
My Windows application runs under Wine, but the installation is a bit of a headache for laymen, and the wrappers I've seen online (PlayOnLinux, Wine Doors) require even more packages to be installed. Is there a way to make a package that will install Wine if the user needs it to be installed, install the application and shortcuts, all with minimal user hassle?
I don't believe there's any pre-made way to do this, but you could probably make a Debian package pretty easily that would depend on Wine, copy an MSI onto the machine, then run Wine's msiexec /i /q as the post-install script
Edit: Make sure to think about the uninstall case too! I.e. in the pre-uninstall script, run msiexec again as well.
You can bundle Wine -- that's what Picasa does -- or you can just make your package list Wine as a dependency; then the user's package manager will automatically install Wine for the user when they install your package.
Ideally your Linux package wouldn't run the Windows installer, but rather have all the files already unpacked.
The trick is to arrange for the files your package installs in /usr to show up in each user's .wine directory. You can look at how Picasa does this, but really the Wine community needs to document how to do this much better.
As always, ask at winehq.org if you need more info.
If you'd like to target the Mac OS, you can use WineBottler:
http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/
This project exists just for bundling Wine into a native Mac .app bundle in a way that's fairly hidden from the user.
Answer is simple:
Create Elf installer.
Pack Elf installer onto Exe installer resources.
Exe installer should unpack Elf installer on startup.
Exe installer must tries to run Elf installer after unpack (system call or some think).
If operation fail, we do normal install.
If operation didn't fail, we close Exe installer.
