Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] using 151a8 in production
I just see this discussion and wonder if you tried pkg install slim_install ? -Original Message- From: David Thistlethwaite [mailto:da...@thistlethwaites.com] Sent: maandag 25 november 2013 8:12 To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] using 151a8 in production Hello folks I am a newbie to openindiana. I am considering using the 151a8 version as a production server, the server will perform the following 1) Server files via samba and NFS 2) Run around 10 virtual machines using virtualbox, these machines will be web servers and Microsoft AD and exchange boxes. 3) ZFS is a must and I am considering openindiana as it will probably have the most stable code base for zfs (as I cannot afford to purchase solaris) The load on this system will be very light but I need a server that will be rock solid, as downtime is an serious issue. I am seeking advice as the release notes state that 152a8 is a development release ? I appreciate all opinions in this regard. Thanks in advance for your wisdom ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Building OpenOffice 4.0.1
Hello, I am trying to build OpenOffie 4.0.1. According to the building instructions I do: $ export LD_ALTEXEC= $ export ANT_HOME=/opt/gnu/ant/ $ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java $ autoconf $ ./configure --with-dmake-url=http://dmake.apache-extras.org.codespot.com/files /dmake-4.12.tar.bz2 --with-epm-url=http://www.msweet.org/files/project2/epm-3.7- source.tar.gz --disable-odk --with-lang=el en --with-junit=/extra/sources/Open Office/java/junit-4.11.jar $ ./bootstrap $ source SolarisX86GccEnv.Set $ build --all In the last step I am getting the following error message: build -- version: 275224 = Building module solenv = Entering /extra/sources/OpenOffice/aoo-4.0.1/main/solenv ERROR! Could not detect compiler version! Please extend tg_compv.mk in solenv/inc. g++ -dumpversion returns 4.7.2 force_dmake_to_error dmake: Error executing 'force_dmake_to_error': No such file or directory dmake: Error code -1, while making 'compiler_version_error' 1 module(s): solenv need(s) to be rebuilt Reason(s): ERROR: error 65280 occurred while making /extra/sources/OpenOffice/aoo-4.0.1/main/solenv When you have fixed the errors in that module you can resume the build by running: build --all:solenv Now, I am sure there is a bug somewhere because the script correctly finds the version of the compiler but somehow fails to recognize it! Has anyone tried to compile OpenOffice and if yes how he/she has managed to go further? A.S. PS Of course it is a pitty that Solaris was a supported platform for OpenOffice and now these people say that Solaris is not supported. I just wonder why Oracle did not ask those people to support Solaris... -- Apostolos Syropoulos Xanthi, Greece ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg only installing command-line tools
Thanks, I may take you up on that. Right now I'm installing software I
need. Interestingly enough, on this install, the package manager is
borked. It will start from the command line with pfexec, but not from
the System-Administration menu. Easy enough to get around, but it makes
me wonder how well the LiveCD image was tested...

I need to get going setting up software, so I'm reinstalling the LiveCD

Rainer, have you changed the root password on the system at least once
since you initially chose one?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] pkg only installing command-line tools
Yep. I knew about this, and reset the root password right away. And this
problem was irrelevant as the system had no GUI; Gnome is what I was
trying to install.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] (no subject)
Well, the first command shows a big problem right away. The DVD didn't create /.volsetid!! sigh I copied the one from the DVD, but then it didn't boot at all. Using this: http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2010-November/001482.html I managed to delete the file and get back to a semi-functional state. So, before I start chasing my own tail with the network issue, I need to figure out how to create a valid .volsetid.. In 20 years of (Open)Solaris/OpenIndiana administration, I've *never* experienced something like this. :-( Rainer On 11/22/2013 1:35 AM, Stefan Müller-Wilken wrote: Hi Rainer, Yep. Didn't work for me, as I need the system to boot right into a networking state. Like all of the NWAM documentation I found, I had to log in before the networking came up. what do you mean by 'boot into a networking state'? Simply boot and configure a static network address without your intervention? And we're talking about oi_158a installed to a disk and booting via GRUB? That should work! Can you give me the output of ... # svcs -xv # svcs nwam # nwamcfg list # nwamadm list ... and, if you're using the automatic profile and your NCU is e1000g0 (modify it otherwise) the output of: # nwamcfg select ncp automatic; select ncu ip e1000g0; list -a Cheers Stefan.
