I feel that the there is no obvious connection (for those new to the platform) between Illumos/OpenIndiana, which I think is counterproductive given that OpenIndiana is sort of the 'Fedora Core' of Illumos. Some possible names: Illumos Live Illumos Core Illumos [version_number] - [adjective] [animal] (kidding about the last one) I think OpenIndiana is great, I just don't think that the name 'Indiana' means anything to anyone and isn't very memorable. I completely agree with that. The name is awkward as an adjective attached to a piece of jargon, which predates illumos and made more sense when the OpenSolaris distribution was still around. However, I don't understand your 'Fedora Core' of Illumos analogy in the context of the relationship between illumos and OpenIndiana. OpenIndiana is a distribution of illumos similar to how Fedora is a GNU/Linux distribution. It is one of several distributions based on illumos, and its main distinction is that it's the primary developer platform. Also, illumos Live is already taken by Joyent's mini-distribution: https://github.com/joyent/illumos-live While there's already some degree of brand recognition for the OpenIndiana name, a name that is easier to build associations with (and isn't a mouthful) will definitely blow it away. This has been brought up on multiple occasions but devolved into bikeshedding, so perhaps we need a better approach. -Albert ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I switched to SFEmplayer2 recently and it's been working flawlessly.

I have let several useful add-ons be developed over the years by my master students as master theses, such as camera support, IP over usb, and recently wifi authentication with EAP-TTLS and EAP-PEAP. Unfortunately the opensolaris version used as starting point for the last development is not available anymore. Actually, I'm not too happy with the apparent changes of policy of Oracle in comparison with what SUN used to do in recent years, so, I'm trying to switch to openindiana. As a first step, I would like to move to open indiana, my hp mini 5101. I tried last WE and first I asked the available tool if the hardware of this netbook is supported. The answer was yes except the 3 network interfaces (marvel Yucon gigabit interface, broadcom 4322AGN wifi interface and HP un2400 3G interface) which would mean that openindiana is completely useless on this computer. However, on http://wiki.openindiana.org:8080/display/oi/Ethernet+Networking, one says the the yge driver supports the Marvel Yucon interface on http://wiki.openindiana.org:8080/display/oi/WiFi, I do not see any support for the Broadcom interface So my questions are: 1. should yge work with the marvel Yucon88E8072 interface of the 5101 2. are there drivers nearly ready to be announced for the broadcom 4322AGN wifi interface and HP un2400 3G interface ? and, if not, are there other cards that are supported: I assume that these little cards can easily be replaced if I remove the keyboard. 3. When all this wil work, should I try to port the EAPTTLS/EAP PEAP developments to openIndiana or is somebopdy else already busy with this.µ 4. Finally, ih a few weeks I shall have to configure a pair of 12-core servers with ARECA RAID controllers ARC-1212. Which solaris-like OS do you recommend for this ? Still solaris 10 ? Best regards Marc Hi Marc, OpenIndiana is a distribution, the core OS development takes place in the illumos project. I have CC'ed the developer list for illumos, and I would recommend for you to subscribe to it ( https://www.illumos.org/projects/site/wiki/Mailing_Lists ). For the driver questions: Of Yukon 2 chips, I believe only the 88E8040, 88E8053/56/58 are supported right now but it should be very easy to add the 88E8072. Broadcom wireless is not supported. I suggest buying an Intel or Atheros mini PCI-e card (they're $5-10 in the US). HP un2400 is not supported. It needs a firmware blob and a Qualcomm specific serial driver. Other 3G devices that use the USB CDC standard are supported, not sure about PCI-e. We recently updated the Areca arcmsr driver and we're still working on a larger overhaul so I believe we have the best version of the driver currently available. I am extremely excited to hear about your master students' work in EAP support for wireless and would be happy to help with integration. There are only a few days left before the deadline, but your current students are still welcome to apply to Google Summer of Code for illumos: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2011/illumos Thanks, -Albert ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Tabs no longer expanded when cutting and pasting
On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 12:28 PM, Gary Mills mi...@cc.umanitoba.ca wrote: I noticed this change with respect to Solaris 10 in both Openindiana 148 and Solaris 11 Express: when I cut text in one gnome-terminal window and paste it into another, tabs are no longer expanded to spaces. I suppose this is better behavior because you generally want to retain the tabs. However, it's a problem for me when I'm pasting into an emacs editor session within that terminal window. In that case, emacs treats the tabs as an indentation command, the same as if I had typed them by hand. The amount of indentation increases with each successive tab. The only solution I've found so far is to type: M-x global-set-keyRET TAB self-insert-command before I paste in the text. Are there any better solutions? I know that emacs in its own window doesn't have this problem, but there are times I need to run it in tty mode. This is just a specific case of the more general problem of pasting into an application that is not aware of the X selection/clipboard and expects interactive input. Vim has :set paste for this - the Emacs equivalent may be M-x fundamental-mode (or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/986592/any-emacs-command-like-paste-mode-in-vim ).

PostScript (or sometimes PCL, but rarely) is preferred for most high-end printers (i.e. all colour lasers)... you just need a print filter with some extra descriptive information. CUPS (and the legacy Solaris print system if you use the Presto GUI) is point-and-click for selecting the right one. Scanning and fax are NOT supported in OI, as far as I can see! I would like to be proven wrong: but xscanimage and xsane just crash. It's not duplex, but I think there's a version for that at another 1-200 dollars. There's a bug affecting libusb applications that's probably causing that crash. Any scanner supported by SANE should work. Faxing from printers tends to need proprietary software.

What I see is that rpool/swap and rpool/dump - which are both configured with 'com.sun:auto-snapshot = false' - are being snapshotted at every possible interval. Additionally, it seems that time-slider is not ever cleaning up these snapshots, even when they have a USED value of 0. This results in hundreds of empty snapshots being created which I've had to manually remove. Auto snapshots for other filesystems, however, seem to be both created and destroyed as expected; indeed, I have other filesystems with 'com.sun:auto-snapshot = false', and they are not being snapshotted. Does anybody have an idea of what's going on, or how I can work around this? I've upgraded all pools and volumes and I'm really not sure what the issue here could be.

As somebody who sits and stares at an LCD all day long, I have a nitpick for fonts looking good. This has been one area that for me, all *IXs have been falling flat on. In my quest, I found the following site: http://www.infinality.net/blog/?cat=4 They offer patches for freetype, cairo, and libXft that make fonts awesome. Back in the OpenSolaris days, when I was attempting to move my work laptop over, I managed to get freetype patched, but I always had problems finding the correct cairo libXft sources to patch/install. Before I attempt again, is there any decent reason why these patches shouldn't be in IllumOS/OpenIndiana proper? I went through all of the SRPMs and pulled out the font patches and put them @ http://www.cmsnoc.com/font/ to make it easier to dig through. These changes are questionable. As hinting is usually meant to fit outlines to the pixel grid at small sizes for clarity, the phrase subpixel hinting is a bit of an oxymoron. The main part is self-described as simply disabling hinting along the X axis. Do these apply to the autohinter or the embedded hints? Do you have examples of rendering improvements? If there are improvements, why hasn't upstream adopted them? Good for font rendering is highly subjective. With the (formerly patented) bytecode interpreter enabled, I find the FreeType output for most fonts included with the system, such as the commonly used Liberation and DejaVu fonts, to be pleasant and have less noticeable artifacts than the Windows font renderer output with the Windows system fonts and Core Fonts. -Albert ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] how to report system crash

Automatic extraction of crash dumps is not enabled by default, but you can run 'savecore' to extract the dump after creating the directory for them. Then 'run savecore -f file' to uncompress the dump. You can use mdb to inspect the crash.

My name is Sunay Tripathi who *had* been with Sun/Solaris for a long long time and tinkered around with the OS. Its great to see you guys taking the initiative. I was looking to see if people were looking to take any major projects. Given the focus around packaging, some work around IPS would be useful. Specially related to file based URIs. The dependency on someone else's repo has been the most complained about part of IPS from general community. For instance, you could have all the packages in file form in SVR4 and write scipts to install identical system without needing the network was something useful and I think we never completed that work in IPS. I wrote some more on my thoughts on what it takes to make a open source OS succeed in long term here http://sunaytripathi.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/solaris-as-an-open-source-alternative-to-linux/ Anyway, if there is some interest from people to work in this area, we can start a discussion. Again, keep up the good work. Cheers, Sunay Hi Sunay, Glad to have you on board! Most of us are familiar with your transformation of the networking space. (I remember meeting you at a dinner after last year's LISA). Shawn Walker at Oracle has been leading the on-disk package repository support, and the format of on-disk repositories has been finalised. You can install packages directly from a file:// URI without a temporary depot server, and indeed we use this functionality in the process of constructing the distribution, as several consolidations are imported directly from on-disk repositories. There is additionally a pax-based stream format for a single file, like SVR4's stream format, I don't know if the tools for manipulating this are done. The spec for both is here: http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/pkg/gate/doc/on-disk-format.txt -Albert ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I guess it wouldn't have written a crash dump, so you may have to boot with the '-k' flag appended to the 'kernel' line in GRUB, and the 'splashimage' line as well as 'console=graphics' removed (needs both, or the console will still not be visible).

Time consuming, yes. But virtually guaranteed to work. It would seem that this machine would have worked better with ahci mode when you first installed opensolaris on it back in the day. This is a lesson for everyone to check their bios settings thoroughly before installing a new operating system. Erm, that's a curious bit of modern folklore. How the drive was connected previously changes absolutely nothing. The problem here is probably from having dedup enabled. Disabling it does not affect the existing data, which has already been deduplicated. Reading any of this will incur a deduplication table lookup, which can be quite expensive in terms of random seeks (you can check with DTrace, see /opt/DTT/disk/seeksize.d).
