I have download a raw iso cd from the internet.
Try one: I'm import the iso on the vbox storage but when it boots i get "Fatal: no bootable device".
Try two: Convert the iso to vmdk with VBoxManage , imported to vbox storage but the error still exist.
Try three: Converted to vdi, imported to vbox storage but still the same.
I also try the PowerIso for linux to converted the iso to another format and still nothing
I found few solution in here but none of them works for me.
As i open the iso i found (3 *.swf) files inside and that makes me wonder about infected iso .... is any possibility on that ?
Why not just set it up to read the ISO as a cd-rom device?

I have ttf font files for Indian languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, etc.
In order to access ttf files through a postscript program, I have to convert them to Type 2 CIDfont (Type 42 base font).
I tried online conversion (as well as utilities from GitHub) but unfortunately they all failed to convert.
Is there any conversion utility available?
As I could not proceed further with my work due to font conversion issue, so I decided to take up conversion task by myself.
Since I was neither a font programmar nor a font designer, I had to learn the internals of ttf (Apple Computers) and
Type 0 composite fonts (Adobe Corporation), just enough to write a conversion program, with the help of the following documents.
Microsoft OpenType® Specification Version 1.9
Fonts - TrueType Reference Manual - Apple Developer
PostScript Language Reference, third edition - Adobe Corporation (912 pages PDF, 7410K) Feb/1999
The Type 42 Font Format Specification #5012 (28 pages PDF, 159k) 31/Jul/1998
Adobe CMap and CID Font Files Specification #5014 (102 pages PDF, 541k) 11/Jun/1996 Version 1.0
In order to benefit others, I have just released this conversion utility through GitHub on the following platforms.

Note:
This utility converts ttf file to t42 file which is readily accessible through a postscript program. This conversion program also generates a ps file (a postscript program) which will display all the glyphs associated with the character set of ttf file.
The two program files (main.cpp and ttf.h) are 100% portable. i.e. the contents of two files are same and identical across platforms.
A README Document in Markdown format has been included with the release.
This conversion software has been tested for the following Indian Languages successfully whose number of Glyphs exceed 256 characters with horizontal writing.
Tamil
Malayalam
Telugu
Kannada
Gujarati
Gurmukhi (Punjabi)
Oriya
Bengali (Assamese)
Devanagari (Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi)
I've used this in the past but I must have got lucky. Now both Linux OSes I had have been deleted or screwed up but I can't for the life of me remember how I got them installed last time.
I really haven't got a clue, but are these the right steps:
(1) Uninstall all the old stuff
(2) Download Virtualbox 5.1.8 and install it
(3) Set up a new machine (eg. "Ubuntu64") and accept most of the defaults
I now know that that doesn't give me an OS to run! I need a "VDI" file containing a suitable Linux:
(4) Download Linux VDI for Virtualbox, unzip/un7zip etc to .vdi
Now is the tricky bit: how to I link this file to the Virtualbox new VM? In Storage, it seems to be set up to this file:
c:\Users\xxxxxx\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vdi
That file exists but is some 2MB. Do I just copy the big .vdi I've just downloaded into that? Because if I do, it gives me an error:
UUID {7bfdc68e-2717-4c80-8613-6a2220358337} of the medium 'C:\Users
\xxxxxx\VirtualBox VMs\Ubuntu\Ubuntu.vdi' does not match the value
{553bdd10-e133-492f-85b9-3ec2c2fa4e67} stored in the media registry
('C:\Users\xxxxxx\.VirtualBox\VirtualBox.xml').
I would have edited that .xml file to match, but the UUID figure in that is different from either of the above! Anyway it seems like there is some official way of telling VB about this vdi; what is it? And if not, what have I done wrong? I downloaded another vdi with the same result.
I am facing a issue of invalid UTF-8 data in my application.
Actually whenever i opens my application for editing purpose i get the following error:
[Macromedia][Oracle JDBC Driver]Transliteration failed, reason: invalid UTF8 data
Some editors expect your code file to be saved in plain UTF8. An easy way to fix it is to open up the affected code file in Notepad, and then re-save it using Notepad's default encoding. Then you can open it in your favorite editor. See if that works.
Excerpt from Nodans
The DataDirect Oracle Driver that ships with ColdFusion 9 has an error in it. It appears the error is fixed and if you have an agreement with the provider, you can download an update. However, I don't have an agreement so I downloaded fresh Oracle JDBC Drivers to fix the problem. Here's what I did:

I have a batch file that tries to compile a static library using Borland C++ Builder 6.0
It is called from Borland make (makefile created with bpr2mak) which is called from a .bat file (used to compile the whole project with Visual Studio and some Borland C++ Builder legacy projects), which is called from a bash shell script running inside Cygwin.
When I run the .bat file directly from a Cygwin shell, it runs OK, but when its being run from a Program calling cygwin with Boost::Process::launcher I'm getting this error:
C:\ARQUIV~1\Borland\CBUILD~1\Bin\..\BIN\TLib /u bclibs.lib #MAKE0000.###
DOS-reported error: Bad file number
TLIB 4.5 Copyright (c) 1987, 1999 Inprise Corporation
opening 'MAKE0000.###'
** error 1 ** deleting bclibs.lib
It's a complicated scenario, but this Program which calls cygwin is run whenever we need to build our software package which needs to be build for various Linux distos and Windows 32 and 64-bit.
Note: It's the only Borland Project failing, the other compile just fine (it's the only static library using borland also, so it can be some problem with the TLib tool.
The problem was that TLib does not like to have his output redirected (seen here) without having an input pipe as well. Solved by creating an input pipe to in the Boost::Process::launcher using set_stdin_behavior
I'm just guessing here, but this may have to do with long filenames and/or spaces in paths.
1) Modify your makefile so it would save current environment to a file, immediately before executing the failing command (set > d:\env.txt & echo CD=%CD% >> d:\env.txt). Then run it both ways (directly and via program) and compare the environments of good run and bad run.
2) Using filemon from Sysinternals, capture logs of disk access in both cases (these logs are going to be huge, though you can uncheck everything except Open in the filter to reduce the size). Again, compare and check for clues...
3) Try instaling everything involved to paths conforming to 8.3 scheme.
This error is not related to C++ itself. It happens when your build script opens too much files (more than defined in DOS command processor environment). To resolve this issue try to set value of files variable to 253. For Windows XP this variable defined in the file %WINDIR%\system32\config.nt.
files=253
Seems it is known bug in Borland C++ tools. Here is description and possible workaround for this issue:
Problem: Some static Lib projects will
not link correctly when compiled. You might see something
like this :
J:\Borland\CBUILD~1\bin\..\BIN\TLib /u debug\jpegD.lib #MAKE0000.###
DOS-reported error: Bad file number
TLIB 4.5 Copyright (c) 1987, 1999 Inprise Corporation
opening 'MAKE0000.###'
** error 1 ** deleting debug\jpegD.lib
MAKE failed, returned : 1
Workaround : In some cases (where the "Bad file number" error is seen) it may be possible to work around this by specifying -tDEFLIB.BMK in the BPR2MAKE Options field, and Turning off the "Capture Make Output" option.
I have not tested it, but I hope that helps.
I've got problems installating the VMWARE ESXi Server.
The Installation finishes without any error messages and prompts me to reboot.
After pressing Enter the System reboots. While booting through the yellow loading-screen it switches to black and displays the following Error-Message:
PANIC: Failed to find HD boot partition
All modules have been loaded without any errors.
After typing unsupported into the console the busybox comes up.
I tooked a look into the /dev/disks directory but no disk devices gets listed in difference to the installation process.
Switching to the system-console during installation both sata disks on MPC51 controller are shown.
The controllers are named vmhba0 and vmhba32.
Does anyone know how to solve the problem?!
Hardware is a ESPRIMO P5615 (nForce4) from Fujitsu-Siemens.
The only solution I have found is to run the server from a thumb drive and use the embedded hard drive to store your virtual servers. This solution worked for me.
To achieve this in this way you will need:
A USB thumb drive 1GB or larger
An active Linux machine (or, use a liveCD option on your PowerEdge such as Knoppix or Gentoo LiveCD)
Mount your ESXi ISO:
mount -t iso9660 -o loop VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD-3.5.0_Update_2-110271.i386.iso /mnt/esx
Write the installer file to the thumb drive:
tar xvzf /mnt/esx/install.tgz usr/lib/vmware/installer/VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-110271.i386.dd.bz2 -O | bzip2 -d -c | dd of=/dev/sdb
Assumptions here (adjust to your settings):
/dev/sdb is where your thumb drive resides
VMware-VMvisor-InstallerCD-3.5.0_Update_2-110271.i386.iso is the name of your ISO file
usr/lib/vmware/installer/VMware-VMvisor-big-3.5.0_Update_2-110271.i386.dd.bz2 is the name of the dd file in your iso (run tar ztf /mnt/esx/install.tgz to see what your exact file name is, it should be similar and relatively obvious)
It will take a few minutes to write, and when it's done simply boot off of this thumb drive. The PowerEdge servers have an internal USB (at least mine does) if aesthetics are important to you.
