Learn how Apple Device Enrollment Program (DEP) enables zero-touch deployment of Macs. Learn what DEP enrollment is. Learn how computers become a part of a DEP account and the unique purchase methods supported by DEP. Understand the conceptual shift from MCX management (or managed clients for OS X management) to mobile device management (MDM). Dmidecode for Apple OS X. Dmidecode is a long standing, effective tool for reading manufacturer info from the SMBIOS tables present on most modern x86 based systems. It’s been available for many years on most Unix like operating systems and has also been ported to Windows.Until now, it had never made the leap to OS X.

The most recent Linux version of DAKOTA is built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3. It should also run on other Linux distributions that maintain binary compatibility with RHEL, such as CentOS. Users of other Linux distributions and (non-Mac) *nix OSes may find it necessary to build DAKOTA from source.

  • X11 on Mac OS X. When I upgraded to Tiger, I didn’t install X11 which you’ll need to pull this all off. Fear not - it’s easy to install. Just slide in your Tiger install CD. When it’s in, scroll down the Finder window slightly and you’ll see Optional Packages or something similar. Run that app and install X11.
  • In Mac OS X 10.4, dlopen was rewritten to be a native part of dyld. This man page was borrowed from FreeBSD and modified. BUGS This implementation is almost bug-compatible with the Solaris implementa.

The Mac binaries are built on OS X 10.5.8.

  1. Prepare your system by installing required dependencies. For a RHEL 6.3 system, these can be obtained from the Yum repositories by executing the command:
    The Mac OS X version of DAKOTA comes packaged with the libraries it requires.
  2. Extract the DAKOTA archive file in a suitable install location, e.g. /home/myusername. If you have root access, you may extract the archive in a shared directory, e.g. /usr/local.
  3. Make sure your OS can find the DAKOTA executables and libraries.
    1. Open the Bash startup file in your home folder using your favorite text editor. On Linux, this is ~/.bashrc. On Mac, it's ~/.bash_profile.
    2. On Linux and Mac, add the following line, replacing $INSTALL_DIR with the absolute path to your installation directory, e.g. /home/myusername or /usr/local/Dakota.
    3. On Linux only, add the following line, replacing $INSTALL_DIR as appropriate.
    4. On Mac OS only, add the following line, replacing $INSTALL_DIR as appropriate.
    5. Save and close the file. Close and reopen the terminal to activate the changes in your environment.
    For C shell:
    1. Open the csh startup file in your home folder (~/.cshrc) using your favorite text editor.
    2. On Linux and Mac, add the following line, replacing ${INSTALL_DIR} with the absolute path to your installation directory, e.g. /home/myusername or /usr/local/Dakota.
    3. On Linux only, add the following line, replacing $INSTALL_DIR as appropriate.
    4. On Mac OS only, add the following line, replacing $INSTALL_DIR as appropriate.
    5. Save and close the file. Close and reopen the terminal to activate the changes in your environment.

I just finished setting up a spare PC I had with Ubuntu on it. Thing is, it’s damn noisy so I want it stuffed up in the loft out of the way. This is fine because I can remote log-in to it using VNC, right? The answer would be yes if I made sure I was actually logged into my account on the machine - but that would mean having to get a monitor/keyboard/mouse up there to do so.

Alternative? XDMCP. It’s kind of like VNC, but allows you to connect to your machine if no one is logged in. I don’t know the technical what’s going on in the background, but I’ve managed to get this working on my Mac.

Enable XDMCP on Ubuntu

First of all you’ll need to enable XDMCP access on the Ubuntu machine. This is really simple to do:

  1. System >Administration >Login Screen Setup
  2. Enter your administration password
  3. Under the Security tab, Enable XDMCP
  4. You can then Close the window

X11 on Mac OS X

When I upgraded to Tiger, I didn’t install X11 which you’ll need to pull this all off. Fear not - it’s easy to install.

  1. Just slide in your Tiger install CD.
  2. When it’s in, scroll down the Finder window slightly and you’ll see Optional Packages or something similar.
  3. Run that app and install X11.

Connecting

Once X11 is installed, and XDMCP is enabled on Ubuntu, all that’s left is to actually connect.

  1. Open Terminal.app
  2. Enter in /usr/X11R6/bin/X -query XXX.XXX.XXX.XX where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the IP of the Ubuntu machine
  3. A new app will open named Xquartz and a few seconds after you should see the Ubuntu login screen appear.

And that’s all there is to it! You’re then able to login and work on Ubuntu as if you were actually sitting in front of it. Expose even works which is really handy.

The only problem I’ve had is that it’s sometimes hard to switch between windows. If you’re having problems, just click on the Xquartz.app icon in the dock to get Ubuntu back.

When you’re finished, log out in Ubuntu and then switch to Terminal.app in OS X and hit CONTROL + C to quit Xquartz.app.
