[OpenIndiana-discuss] opensolaris b134b (/release) to openindiana b148

[Anil]

What does this error(s) mean? On a test system, I installed
OpenSolaris 2009.06. Upgraded to b134 (on OpenSolaris /release). Then,
am trying to upgrade to OI b148.

Perhaps, I shouldn't use /release any more and instead use /legacy?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] General question about motherboards

[Okky Hendriansyah]

Hi Harry,

AFAIK, most cases will have downsize capabilities regarding the motherboard's 
form factor. So a full tower case, will have the screw hole spots for Extended 
ATX, ATX, Micro ATX; a mid tower case have ATX and Micro ATX holes; while a 
mini tower have only Micro ATX holes. And I just knew about the sub cases after 
Alex mentioned before.

Hope it helps you on deciding.

ATX cases will come with standoffs that you will screw into the
chassis' motherboard tray to match holes in the motherboard.

ATX cases will take up the entire motherboard tray, MicroATX boards
will take up a smaller footprint in these cases. There are sub-ATX
cases available that will only handle microATX boards, however if you
have a tower (mini, mid or full) it is highly unlikely that you will
not be able to fit a board into it.

My mainboard on my desktop is a microATX with a Thermaltake BachVx
mid-tower case. I had no problems fitting it.

Hope this helps.

So the micro ATX will NOT work on an ATX format box then?

And do you have an idea what might be considered a `similar' board?

I'm not sure what all fits into ATX `type'.  Apparently you think the
micro ATX does ... eh?

So no drilling screw holes or other fabrications necessary?

And just so I know before going much further... Do you know this about
`ATX' working with `micro ATX' for a fact or are you guessing about
it?

It sure does, spectacularly well in Twinview mode. although it was necessary
to apply the workaround for:

Bug ID  6798452 Synopsis: X Server will not start on x86 systems with
multiple graphics cards. Reported Against  snv_107 , osol_2008.11
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6798452

which, incidentally, applies to SPARC as well. although on SPARC it
doesn't stop X from starting.

(WW) VGA arbiter: cannot open kernel arbiter, no multi-card support.

It seems to be a problem on Linux, too.

May thanks.  I appended "-m verbose -v" to the kernel line as suggested.
Here's the result:

I haven't attempted this in OpenIndian, but I think it should still work to
use the -v
Option in grub to set the boot sequence into verbose mode.

see

blog discussing how to set the verbose mode.

Completed an apparently successful update from OI_147 using:

pfexec pkg image-update -v

However, when attempting to start OI_148 the system hangs at the
"Hostname: xxx" stage with no activity on the disk light.  Any
suggestions on how to investigate or fix this?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] IO_b148 on an ATI HD 5770: Xorg failure / black screen

[Jonathan Adams]

do you have a custom Xorg configuration?

what model Radeon are you using?

Is your monitor connected via the HDMI interface? when you tried
another monitor, did you connect it on the VGA/other interface(s)
before the computer booted?

[Robin Axelsson]

But there is nothing wrong with the monitor or the connection. I get the 
BIOS post and I get the GRUB but as soon as Xorg initiates it goes 
black. Xorg works not fine in build 134 (it yields a picture but not at 
the resolution I want due to some limitations in the drivers) but it 
works and has never shown any such symptoms. I have tried connecting 
another monitor to the other outputs using a DVI->VGA adapter but there 
is no signal in any of the outputs.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenIndiana on VirtualBox 4.0

[Kevin J. Woolley]

Hello folks,

Neat bit of trivia -- in VirtualBox 4.0's new VM wizard, if you give 
"OpenIndiana" as part of the VM name it automatically selects "Solaris | 
Solaris modern (S10U8+)" as the OS type and subtype.  It's nice to get a nod 
from Oracle.  :)

Cheers,

kjw

[OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox 4.0

[Jonathan Adams]

Not sure if any of you have seen that the new VirtualBox 4 is out,
which has packages in GPL format with the ability to add extensions,
with the only extension available so far being the "PEUL"d one that
adds USB/RDP/PXE support.

however, on looking at the packages I found the vboxconfig.sh file had:

"# Which OpenSolaris version (snv_xxx or oi_xxx)?" in it ... which
means that (the VirtualBox people at last) oi is getting some
recognition.

do you have another monitor that you can try? a CRT might be a good
bet, if you can get one, and see if it's just sending out the wrong
refresh ...

If that is it you might need to manually set a modeline for your usual monitor.
