Greetings, Well, I'm happy to share my packages. But the problem is that our system architect used the openpkg system (http://www.openpkg.org/) to do anything. I can't for example go to http://www.sunfreeware.com/ and download anything there and use it. It simply wasn't an ability our systems architect allowed for. :( So I have to work within the openpkg framework for my lab install. Since he doesn't know anything about GNOME I've been given the job of putting a desktop together with all our apps. Most of these apps run out of AFS filespace.
So our jumpstart goes through and installs traditional sun packages. (I guess from the CD or whatever) Then it runs patches for a LONG, LONG time. He tells me its Solaris 10 u2 but he said something about using u3 at some point and saying that way the install would be quicker because we wouldn't have so many patches... Anyways, after the patch section our custom openpkg RPMs get installed out of a directory we specify in AFS. So I have a src and binary openpkg RPMs. But its probably only useful if you use openpkg... :( If anyone wants them I can make them available via the web. Here are the URLS: http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/hardware/rpms/openpkg/audioctl-1.5.0-1.sparc64-solaris10-oop.rpm http://www.eos.ncsu.edu/hardware/rpms/openpkg/audioctl-1.5.0-1.src.rpm I should also mention that I had made some changes in the final command I run in my xsession script. I have this: if [ -f /bin/audioctl ]; then /bin/audioctl -v "=75%" b=50% +headphone +line -speaker fi That way, any user sitting down in the lab will have the same volume settings, balance, etc no matter what the last guy did. Most people will prolly change the volume (If they have a headphones on) via the little volume thing in the bottom right hand corner of the panel. And they'll be happy with that if their headphones work. Cheers, On Tue, 3 Jul 2007, Darren Kenny wrote: > Hi Gary, > > Any chance of adding this to the SFE repository?
