Sorry.  I'll go to the OpenCSW group if I find I need their packages.  

OpenIndiana didn't seem to be listed on their website as something they 
support.  And after three weeks of my first OI install, I probably wasn't 
thinking very clearly.  System admin stuff isn't an area I'm very strong in.  

Have a nice night!

Why not look at pkgsrc? It is working well on Openindiana/Illumos, and is
supported by Joyent (
http://www.perkin.org.uk/posts/pkgsrc-2012Q3-packages-for-illumos.html).
Joyent even adapt the packages to support SMF on SmartOS.

Yes, pkgsrc is a great tool.  To install some software with pkgsrc and
watch it pull down the source, compile, install, etc. is really amazing.

However, it is another step away from real Solaris.  The old Solaris
up to 10 has SVR4, the new Solaris has IPS.  So these are really the
only options for any distro targeted for the mainstream users.

That pkgsrc can work well for a specialized distro like SmartOS is
absolutely true.  There are also mods to make pkgsrc produce SVR4
pkgs somewhere.  Maybe pkgsrc can be extended to produce IPS pkgs
as well...

This is a small utility to translate from NetBSD-derived pkgsrc

understanding Solaris packages, and to provide some Solaris packages

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Knowledge Base for Compiling and InstallingSoftware Not Available as Packages.

2012-12-20 Thread Aurélien Larcher
Hi,
But what about using pkgbuild from the spec file extra (SFE) team which is
available from the OI-SFE repository ?

You can build you packages and publish them to your own local IPS
repository in no time.
You actually don't need to learn how to make IPS packages, just write spec
files like for RPM.
Moreover pkgbuild supports generation of SVR4 packages.

While I don't understand why people should hate IPS, what I see indeed as
you point it, is lack of simple reproductible steps tutorials written by
users and lack of commitment around one way to provides packages.

If you just want IPS packages to be built from source I cannot see why you
would try to find another solution than the one used to build the OI
repositories: it's straightforward and a build zone can be set up quickly.

I started writing short tutorials for a bundle of spec files for scientific
software I want to contribute to SFE here
http://forge.distrans.org/projects/oi-sci/wiki

It's not elaborate yet but anyone willing to contribute is welcome. Or if
you can identify missing piece of information I am willing to fill the
blanks.
Best regards,

a

 Well, ideally, if every one of us who needed to install a piece of
 software that wasn't available in package form would make and sponsor an
 IPS package for it, I think that would be the best thing.  But I, for one,
 am not real keen on learning how to make IPS packages -- especially since
 so many people hate IPS, and in my opinion, its future looks questionable.

 What you are proposing sounds interesting, but again, it's yet another
 thing to learn, and another layer of complexity which also duplicates that
 which the packaging system should take care of.

 For most (?) of us, we build a server once or twice a year.  Some things
 are just not worth the trouble to automate.

 My own rule of thumb is, every program I write has to pay for itself --
 with money and/or time saved -- within the first year.  If it doesn't do
 that, I don't bother with it.

  all sort of setup.  I was introduced to this concept about twelve years

  A few years ago I thought about releasing the whole thing in a VirtualBox

 One
  down side is the image would be rather large to accommodate the large

 take

custom.conf contains:

If I use the ssh running nxnode to test it, I get a black window and it
responds to resizing with the appropriate messages.  Unfortunately,
using the nxclient fails without trying to bring up a window. It gets as
far as Downloading session data and then it reports Session startup
failed.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] add_drv bge Driver (bge) succesfull added but failed to attach

2012-12-20 Thread Carsten Grzemba
Hi, 

I have tried to upgrade my laptop Acer TravelMAte 7730 from os b134 to oi 
b157a7. 
In b134 the driver bcme has worked for the BCM5764M. After the upgrade neither 
bcme nor bge driver works.
I can see that the driver _init and _info functions are called but never the 
attach routine. So it should not be really problem with the driver, but rather 
with the matching of the device compatible values 'pciex14e4,1684'?
How can I investigate such issue?

# prtconf -Dv
shows also no 'System software properties' (from bge.conf) and no 'Driver 
properties' for this device.
The nexus node instance of the device show for pci-occuoant also only an empty 
value='' .?

Any hints?

Many Thanks,
Carsten Grzemba

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Installing Java 7

2012-12-20 Thread Jim Klimov

Thanks Richard for your advice.  This seems to have worked.

Also note that some programs (esp. system-bundled ones in Sun Solaris)
can rely on particular definition of JAVA_HOME env.var pointing to a
directory. Valid definition for the standard directory structure is
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java
which you update by updating the /usr/jdk/latest symlink.

Keep track of JVM customizations you might put in place, to redo them
upon upgrades (tzupdate, private CA certificates, etc.)

However, as with any software, some versions are better compatible
than others due to some intimacy between JVM and compiled programs,
so certain programs might require older JVM to stay around in the
path they expect to use (or reconfigure their path from default to
particular for such programs).

Finally, to help me install JDK from tarballs/selfextractors I have
packaged the Sun-standard dirs and symlinks to precreate the needed
structure. I attach a SVR4 for Solaris and a RPM for RHEL/CentOS.
In particular, this sticks needed symlinks to current installation
into /usr/bin. Feel free to use or integrate anyplace :)

A typical installation procedure looks like this:

:; gzcat $DOWNLOAD_DIR/COSjavadirs-1.6.0-1.pkg.gz  /tmp/x
:; pkgadd -d /tmp/x
:; cd /usr/jdk/instances
:; $DOWNLOAD_DIR/jdk-6u37-solaris-i586.sh
:; $DOWNLOAD_DIR/jdk-6u37-solaris-x64.sh
:; rm -f jdk1.6.0  ln -s `ls -1d jdk1.6.0_* | tail -1` jdk1.6.0

(likewise for jdk1.7.*)

In this structure, /usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.6.0 points to the latest
jdk1.6.0_* installation, and /usr/jdk/latest statically points to
./instances/jdk1.6.0 (in our conservative case), and /usr/java points
to ./jdk/latest, and /usr/bin/java and an horde of other programs
point to ../java/bin/java etc.

 Which motherboard are you using?
 Do you have the drives connected to an HBA or the motherboard? If HBA,
 which
 HBA?
 
 If they are connected to the motherboard, and the ports are sata, your best
 chance of making them work is to first try the ports in 'AHCI' mode. If that
 doesn't work, select 'legacy' or some synonym there of. If that doesn't
 work, go back to AHCI and let's find you a driver if possible.

But he didn't change the hardware - in the OP he said he replaced one disk (the 
boot disk) and installed openindiana where he was previously running

 Xorg deleted that warning message a few releases ago as everyone got it

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Disappearing files on FAT32 flash drive

2012-12-20 Thread Reginald Beardsley
I sneaker net stuff between my primary system and my OI based internet host. 
I've had a couple of instances now of files disappearing while attempting to 
transfer them.

The first time I assumed it was a corrupted filesystem and reformatted the 
drive.  It just happened again.  Everything in two  subdirectories disappeared 
while going from OI back to Sol 10.  Move back to OI they were still gone.

In this last instance, I had been editing the contents of the flash drive 
rather than merely copying a file, so I lost everything I'd done.  This does 
not make me happy.  Interestingly, one of the subdirectories that lost its 
contents contained  copies of stuff from Sol 10 and other than attaching the 
files to an email, had  nothing done with them.

So bad flash drive or OI bug?  Yes, I am unmounting the drive before I move it.

If the USB flash drive is old, it is possible that the areas for FAT
tables wore out more than other cells on the stick. I've had failures
like this when most of the flash was okay, but FAT was corrupted -
breaking the drive's usability.

Repartitioning it so it starts later (is smaller) and puts FAT onto
non-worn-out cells helped in a case or two at least.

Flash drives have a limited number of recording of data capability onto the

When data is lost , this possibility should be checked first .

If there are any objections to this, it'd be nice to know before I put a 
significant amount of effort into this...



None whatsoever from me, please do!

Cheers,
