Hi, I have installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 on my laptop which is connected to the internet from our university's proxy server. The details of the server are as follows:
HTTP Proxy: hostelproxy.daiict.ac.in Port: 3128 The proxy server requires authentication using our Student IDs and passwords i have configured my firefox and System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy with the above proxy. The net is working fine and i am able to browse all the websites. I wanted to install openoffice, netbeans, sunstudio etc using the following commands pkg install openoffice pkg install netbeans ... given at http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/instdevsoft.html When i run the above command, I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ pkg install openoffice Creating Plan -Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 1440, in ? ret = main_func() File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 1406, in main_func return install(img, pargs) File "/usr/bin/pkg", line 445, in install verbose = verbose, noexecute = noexecute) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 1282, in make_install_plan ip.evaluate() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/imageplan.py", line 344, in evaluate self.evaluate_fmri(f) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/imageplan.py", line 187, in evaluate_fmri m = self.image.get_manifest(pfmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 516, in get_manifest m = self._fetch_manifest(fmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/image.py", line 468, in _fetch_manifest mcontent = retrieve.get_manifest(self, fmri) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/vendor-packages/pkg/client/retrieve.py", line 75, in get_manifest raise NameError, "could not retrieve manifest '%s' from '%s'" % \ NameError: could not retrieve manifest '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org:80' Referring to forums having similar problems, I got an idea that this error is a result of my proxy settings not being set. I tried to disable nwam using svcadm disable /network/physical:nwam and enable default using svcadm enable /network/physical:default then I went to System -> Administration -> Network. I tried configuring by setting static IP, default gateway (10.00.99.4) but after that the net also stopped working. So I reverted back to nwam and now net is working but I am not able to install the openoffice, netbeans etc packages. Kindly guide me as to how to configure my proxy settings to install the packages using the command pkg install openoffice.. Regards, Ankit DA-IICT, Gandhinagar, Gujarat
