Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox can't save files
I have no such problems to save files with 27.0.1 under OI 151a9. The new Firefox 28.0 and 24.4.0esr download works also fine. As already mentionned Firefox create two files when downloading filename : filename.tmp filename During download size of filename.tmp grows filename has a zero size When download ends Firefox rename filename.tmp filename like mv filename.tmp filename Some extension like Download status bar could have problems when changing the Firefox release for another one.

Memory : DDR3 Dual Channel memory 32GB (4x8GB) PC14900 DDR3 1866 Dual Channel (high performance memory) From your description you're building a dedicated home single purpose, i.e. file, server. Unless you have other plans in the back of your mind the parts you chosen seem inappropriate or gross overkill from, respectively, either an energy efficiency or compute power standpoint. I suggest that instead you consider an Intel socket 1150 CPU and a real server motherboard. First off, thank you so much for the very helpful reply. Its full of concrete ideas and that was just whats needed. I have no doubt you are right about overkill... comes from not knowing poop about what is needed and etc. There are some plans stirring around in the back of my head. Possibly something like running several (4-6 )vms of various OS's just to tinker with. And possibly streaming movies, sound etc... the streaming is least likely to materialize. Even the lowest end Haswell Celeron has more than enough compute power for a home file server and all Haswells have much lower TPD than the AMD and probably also idle at a much lower wattage too. Haswell Celeron G1820 - $40 at Microcenter. Haswell Core i3 4130 - $100. If you need AES-NI support for file system encryption. Haswell Xeon E3-1200 V3 - Starting at around $200. If your server is going to do something like video transcoding. A server motherboard will have ECC support, Intel NICs and IPMI for remote management. Supermicro is most people's server board brand of choice, but there's also Tyan, ASUS and others to choose from. One of the new Intel Atom Avoton (4 or 8 core) server motherboard/CPU combos from ASrock or Supermicro are even more attractive from an energy cost standpoint. (This is a serious consideration for a system that runs 24x7.) (http://www.servethehome.com has reviews of several of these.) Since you said this is a home server I assume that that means that there will be at most a handful of connections at any given time. In that situation even 16 GB of memory will be more than you need, but in any case get ECC RAM. It costs so little more that it just doesn't make sense not to. You nailed it again. All the above sounds like very good advice and I'm convinced. However, one thing that was partly responsible for my choices was that 'Magic Micro' (Where I put together those specs [http://www.magicmicro.com/]) has limited stuff on offer for its customizing schemes for shmoo's like me to work with. I guess its possible the building of a machine could be all DIY, but it would much more likely need to be some kind of supervised DIY. Do you have any idea where one can go thru a customizing scheme where most of the hardware you suggest would be on offer? And further, have folks on hand who can keep you from making down right incompatible choices. Or for that matter... no schemes would necessarily be involved if the outfit just puts it together for you or at least promises to guarantee that mobo and cpu or other similar possible tragedies are looked out for by knowledgeable folks. Do you know of any URLs for either kind of setup? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Sorry to be a pest with this PS, but any chance you can lay out a few models of mobo cpu that have your idea of home server type setup? Also, is it at all likely that any of them would be able to run IDE drives? I have a couple of 500 GB that would make a good OS drive and mirror. It appears the two (mobo and cpu) together that you are discussing could be $700 or more, but possibly I don't know how to pick out candidates and am looking at the wrong stuff. I'd like to keep the price below $1500 With a few extra HDD not being part of that price... so I guess really something like $1800+. Do you think its possible using the high end of the equipment you are proposing ... then case, powersupply, fans. possible graphics card etc etc? I do not require a dedicated graphics card but just not sure how SupperMicro boards are likely to be configured if they offer built in graphics, and audio capabilities or what.

Do not use hipster as your first and only OI installation. Many thanks to you both for help filled replies. Downloading the *.iso now The point you both made about hipster has been well taken here. I expect to have enough trouble learning to run (well) the main release. Not that it is in itself problematic to run, I mean I fully expect quite a lot in terms of pilot error ... ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Re-installing an OI vm after OS crash

It may be more complicated: the config file layout and format has changed a few times in the past, so it is possible that your new VirtualBox software does not use the old format anymore. Likely it can migrate/import the old configs, but I've never checked. It seems more fruitful to recreate the VM definitions and have those newly defined VM's use your old HDD images. Make a copy of one or two and experiment first, before you'd ruin your only copies, however ;) //Jim ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I can report that I got impatient and since the vm didn't have anything really that serious on it... (I would rather not lose some of it of course) I took the gamble. Once I looked at how simple the xml files really were, I just edited the new ones to suite. One thing I did run into was a problem virtual disc... once it came up I remembered vaguely seeing similar errors before the big changeover too. It involved a specific disc being reported off line when in fact it was where it was being reported not to be. I still don't know why that is, but I finally remembered some name changing in previous setup where I'd inadvertently created a disc with an odd name compared to the others. When renaming it, that brought errors, so I finally just made a new disc with the name I wanted.. and just left the old one there. So it isn't actually a problem. I can just delete it at some point when I'm really sure there is nothing on it that has not been duplicated onto a new disc. Since the vm was in a 'saved' status instead of a closed status when the crash occurred, it was reporting on the basis of the saved state. Fortunately it still allowed me to start the vm OS and so I ran it, checked things out then formally closed it, deleting the disc in question all good now. I've closed and restarted a couple times now and it comes up with no errors reported. Fortunately for me there were not the kind of changes between versions that would cause a big mess I should have looked at the changes for the new version, at least, but did not even do that.
