Eucalyptus Cloud not booting - centos

I have installed Eucalyptus Cloud in a Box (Bundled with CentOS 6.4 64 bit)on an HP Probook 430 G1 laptop with the following processor specifications
Intel i7 4500u
Before Install I get the message "Unsupported Hardware of combination thereof detected".
Inspite of this I can still install Eucalyptus just fine.
However, after the first reboot and subsequent reboots I see a message
Detected CPU model 6 family 69
UNSUPPORTED HARDWARE device: Intel CPU Model
After this the machine does not go beyond the first loading screen.
1).Is this a problem with the new fourth generation Haswell architecture ?
2).And is there any solution to this apart from using another machine ?
3).What does CPU model 6 family 69 mean ?
4).Is there any way to know which specific hardware is unsupported ?
Below is the link that shows the supported hardware of Red Hat

Thank you in advance. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Yes, I believe "Model 6 Family 69" is a 4th generation Haswell i7.
You should be able to add "unsupported_hardware" to your kickstart file, if that's when it's occurring.
I don't know, but here's Intel's information page for what I think is a typical 4th gen processor: http://ark.intel.com/products/76087/Intel-Core-i7-4750HQ-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_20-GHz
You could look at the kernel source for the kernel you're using. Might be in arch/x86/kernel/cpu somewhere.
The "Feature" explained
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/WarnTaintedHardware
This says it should only affect the installer, so the "subsequent reboots" behavior you describe should not happen unless you're running the installer on every boot.
And a recent feature added to kickstart to allow it to boot unattended:
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.4_Technical_Notes/
BZ#824963
A kickstart installation on unsupported hardware resulted in a dialog box asking for confirmation before proceeding with the installation process. As a consequence, it was not possible to perform a kickstart installation on unsupported hardware without any user input. To fix this bug, a new unsupported_hardware kickstart command has been added, which skips the interactive dialog warning when installing a system on unsupported hardware without user input.

Is SikuliX 2.0.5 compatible on RedHat 8?

We’ve been trying to get SikuliX 2.0.5 to run on a RHEL 8 system, and not having much luck.
We went through the instructions on this webpage:
https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/newslinux.html#newslinux
We started on RHEL 7, but the OpenCV shared library required a newer version of GLIBC than is standard on RHEL 7 (version ‘GLIBC_2.27’ not found (required by ~/.Sikulix/SikuliLibs/libopencv_java430.so)), so we moved up to RHEL 8. We had to build OpenCV (v4.3.0) from source because we could not find a java companion package for RHEL 8, which required quite a few other dependencies, but in the end we got it built with most options enabled, and installed as root on the system. We also got Tesseract installed via a package, as well as xdotool and wmctrl.
We are setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to ensure that the OpenCV libs are picked up, and when we run with the “-v -c” options to the IDE, there are no obvious problems reported. It seems to believe it is moving the mouse, though we can see that it is not, and when we try to capture a screenshot, the “canvas” from which to capture is either uninitialized/garbage frame buffer memory, or a totally black screen. On rare occasions we have seen the actual desktop, but most times we do not.
Originally the system had 2 monitors, but was subsequently reconfigured to a single display system. We were originally running remotely over NoMachine, but have also tried running locally and observed no difference in behavior.
Any pointers or suggestions would be most welcome. Given that no error messages are being reported, we are out of ideas for how to proceed in debugging the problem. It appears that more native support is provided for Debian-based systems, but we’re attempting to validate a product which only advertises support for RHEL systems, so we’d prefer to get it working in this environment if at all possible.

failed to enable VT-x in bios system in ubuntu 16.04 LTS(AMD FX(tm)-4100 Quad-Core Processor)

I am trying to install android studio in my ubuntu system.But when I open the AVD manager it shows following warning message
after searching on internet I understand that I need to goto bios setup->advanced->intel virtualization technology(enable it if it is disabled),
but I can't find intel virtualization technology option in my bios setup.
bios menu
how can I solve this issue?
It seems that your board doesn't support VT-x. You are looking at the right spot I beleive. I must say, it has been a long time since I've seen such a board.
Have you correctly checked if your board supports VT-x ? Best way to find out is to check the specs of your computer/motherboard online.
Keep us posted, and good luck,
Clovel
EDIT : AMD-V / AMD IOMMU
It seems here that for AMD processors, the option you are looking for is AMD-V (VT-x counterpart) & AMD IOMMU (VTd counterpart ?). See if you can enable either one of these options in Advanced -> CPU Options

Booting Linux on iPhone

I tried searching and searching and can't find a reason why one can't boot Linux from iPhone. I am not asking if there are drivers available for Linux or anything like that, I am just wondering why one can't boot Linux on a standard ARM processor ?
There isn't any such thing as a "standard ARM processor". Every ARM-based SoC is a little bit different, and Apple doesn't publish any information about how their SoCs work. (They aren't even standard Cortex-A designs; the Apple A6 and later all use CPU cores which were customized by Apple.)
Additionally, all of Apple's SoCs contain a bootloader in ROM which verifies a cryptographic signature before running any software from flash memory. This makes it impossible to run an operating system which was not signed by Apple.

Cannot update FEZ Hydra firmware: Device is not connected or not responding

Update 1:
Hi friends, could you please recommend me a powered USB hub in Australia(preferred in Melbourne)? I guess my problem is caused by the insufficient power supply.
Hi friends,
I have a FEZ Hydra Basic kit. I got it in 2012 (might be in Sep).
Today I downloaded the latest SDKs, drivers and everything(NETMF and Gadgeteer Package 2014 R1). (.NET Micro Framework 4.3 and the firmware I have on my laptop is 4.2.6.2)
But the firmware on my deivce is 4.1.x.x(I was lucky to saw the device's firmware version just once and I followed the instruction on the software FEZ Config, but failed with errors).
After that, I cannot get the Device's firmware version any more.
I found changing USB ports sometimes help. I have 4 USB ports, some of them can connected to the device, others are not.
So I have no idea to update the firmware in other way.
Could someone please help me to figure out how to find a way to update my firmware?
In the attached image, it shows: the FEZ Config detected the FEZ Hydra and was trying to get the device's firmware version, but it failed to do so and followed by an error message say: Failure - Device is not connected or not responding.
As I mentioned above, I was lucky to see the FEZ Config successfully got the device's version only once.
So my guess is - is it because the output power is not strong enough to support the operation, so I have to use something like a USB hub which has a strong and stable power?(I saw someone mentioned this and cannot find the comments any more).
Bt the way, all USB ports I mentioned above are directly on my laptop which means they get power directly from motherboard, so they should have strong and stable power to support my operations.
I have been stuck at this issue for the whole day, I really hope some friends can help me out.
Thank you very much in advance.
I've had like the same issue. While updating the firmware it threw me that message and I could not reach my Gadgeteer *Fez Hydra at all. I managed to solve it by attaching an external power supply to it. I use the USB Client DP (Dual Power) 1.3. This way you do need the power over USB part and you can safely update the firmware.

edit: If that doesn't solve your isse you might want to reset the Loader first. Which is given as a tip on the GHI website before updating the firmware.

How to debug CUDA using eclipse Nsight with only one GPU

I'm getting an error: "all cuda devices are used for display and cannot be used while debugging"
(Using Ubuntu)
Is there ANY way to use Nsight eclipse with only one GPU for debugging?
I have seen solutions like
"sudo service lightdm stop"
to kill X but that kills Nsight eclipse too so what's the point?
Update: Since it is not possible to debug with the same GPU that runs X, I have to ask: How does one go about using ANOTHER computer in his home network to "remotely" access Ubuntu in such a way that the X desktop rendering will be performed by the Guest computer while letting the host GPU run the debugger?
In general, it's not supported to debug on the same GPU that is hosting an X display. From the nsight getting started guide: "A GPU that is running X11 (on Linux) or Aqua (on Mac) cannot be used to debug a CUDA application and will be hidden from the application ran in the debugger. Such GPU can still be used for profiling GPU applications. "
I believe there is actually different behavior amongst different window managers, however. I have a laptop with Quadro1000M and RHEL 6.2 (with GNOME), with CUDA 5.0, and I am able to get into the debugger in nsight EE (Project...Build Project followed by Run...Debug). At that point I can step through and set breakpoints in host code. And if I run the code to completion I get proper output. However, you still can't debug device code. If you set a breakpoint in the device code (and hit that breakpoint), you will hang the X session.
EDIT: CUDA 5.5 and beyond now support the ability to debug on a single cc3.5 or higher GPU.
It seems that you can use CUDA 5.5 to debug CUDA programs in a machine with only one GPU.
See section 1.7.3.2. CUDA-GDB of CUDA_Toolkit_Release_Notes
Another approach which might work is to use the onboard video output for the display.
That way you use the onboard graphics for the display and the GPU for debugging.
For this you have to:
Go to BIOS and change the primary display adapter to "On-Board" (this varies from manufacturer to manufacturer)
Physically connect you display to the on-board display output feed
Restart and then run Nsight
If you are using a system with no on-board graphics, then you are out of luck!
This guy here has been able to get it up and running in Windows with Visual studio and Nsight plugin.
P.S. You would probably need to edit your xorg.conf to make X use onboard graphics instead of your Nvidia GPU.
