The list of requirements is (the minimum versions): python 2.7.1 not 3.x Sooner or later Python 3.2 will be provided in OI SFE but I am not sure how much it can coexists with 2.6 As Jan points out in his post 2.x and 3.x can coexist fine. By design, since python 3 is so different from python 2.4-2.7 it is supposed to be invoked as python3. Per the release Python 3.0, also known as “Python 3000” or “Py3K”, is the first ever intentionally backwards incompatible Python release. This duality is normal, and so you have a 2.x and a 3.x series interpreter. As far as handling multiple python from a 2.x series, that is also possible. For example, Solaris 10 is stuck at 2.4, so /usr/bin/python is python 2.4. I installed 2.6 and If you put python2.6 in your #! statement, then it will call that. You can also install setuptools to that 2.6 and if you call the easy_install from the python 2.6, all the eggs are fetched and installed correctly in the 2.6, even though 2.4 is the main version. Going back to calibre, 3.x wouldn't help. It is written using syntax that is unique to 2.x, and is close 2.6, except the heavy use of dictionary features that are only in 2.7, such as dictionary comprehension. I think this is the first 2.x based project I've encountered to use that (calibre is also not your typical python project in that it has quite a dependency on binary libs). In other words, it needs python 2.7. We probably need it anyway if we are to grow our python community.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] nvidia glitch
None of the 256.x versions worked. nor 260. what a pain to test this... I went back to the version shipped with OI and tried a different approach. The solution is that in the xorg.conf, one has to add: OptionCustomEDID DFP-0:/etc/X11/edid.bin: Of course to get the EDID, one has to get the nvidia driver working with the flat panel, but you cant until you get the custom edid... Anyway, I was able to get it from a third party, it is only 128 bytes long. If somebody needs it, let me know, I'll post it on my blog. This is for the Sony 1600x900 panel. Once I got that working, I enabled full effects. Now, this locks up gconf2-d and pegs one of the cpu core, and gets X to consume a lot of cycles too, so pretty quickly I was seeing 35W from powertop! But no worry, once you log out and log back in, everything is back to normal with a load of 0.02, and the power use stabilises at 17w under normal workload, with some regular incursions in the 15w (and 19-20w under compile load). So really not bad. Under windows 7 the only way to beat that is with the stamina mode (intel graphics) and all the slowest settings (including no fancy aero stuff), rendering the laptop pretty unusable, whereas under openindiana it just functions normally with full compiz effects. I did have to compile nvclock to get backlight control, and tied that to F5 and F6 (couldn't figure out how to get a keycode for Fn-F5 and Fn-F6).

It appears that the display is not recognized by the nvidia driver. am i using the right driver anyway with a stock OI install or do I need to download something else from nvidia? Thanks, Francois I was able to get an desktop on an external display monitor through vga: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6KDXW4TfOyQ/TuIDWHy66AI/AGg/k43YxBm8BRU/s1152/Screenshot.png but clearly, there is nothing on the laptop screen, even forcing xinerama. and through hdmi to an hdtv: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-8qpzsVqW2x4/TuIDRcPdpvI/AGY/UCQPirqy-Jo/s1024/Screenshot-1.png HDMI only works in speed mode as it is directly tied to the nvidia GPU, and it does work. So it appears the version of the driver that ships with OI has a problem with detecting the display on the laptop. I had read that this was a problem initially, but it was fixed in 256.x, so having 280.13 on OI, I figured I'd be ok and didn't even think about it until this morning after I thought of testing with an external display. I could go to a 256.x version, but that is pretty old, maybe there is a more recent version that would work? Or anybody has a workaround for vaio z laptops? (the issue on these laptops is that the bios is the source of info for the nvidia, not the display bus - and I did enable in the bios the stamina/speed switch to static and not auto, in case somebody is wondering, if I hadn't, only the intel driver would come up, but power consumption would be high with both video modules enabled...)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] What advantages of KVM over Vbox
No VT support if it is this celeron: http://ark.intel.com/products/27123/Intel-Celeron-D-Processor-345-(256K-Cache-3_06-GHz-533-MHz-FSB) You can search this intel site to figure the functionality of an intel CPU. Btw, not only does the CPU needs VT support, but you must be able to enable it in bios. Many laptops have VT capable CPUs but no choice in bios to enable. For a desktop, virtualbox is better suited.

Serious information overload and all of it a good bit over my head. I did find the meanings referenced though. Thanks for that. I didn't come away knowing how to tell if my hardware has any kind of virtualization stuff either.. other than a mention that svm could be grepped for in linux at /proc/cpuinfo, but only applies to AMD I think. I'm running an older P4 wannabe Celeron 3.06 Ghz, 2gb ram. Still no idea of it has any virtualization tools. But I am upgrading... in the sweet bye and bye.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] cant boot due to a messed up crle path
Version: OI 151a In my trying to get a build of mixxx I messed up the library path, it appears. I've tried mounting using the live cd, but I cant get to /var to delete the /var/ld/64/ld.config... I can mount the rpool but i dont see much anything in that rpool... /etc and /boot only This seems a little different than on solaris. What am I missing?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] cant boot due to a messed up crle path
Solution, through some help from the zfs list... After the zpool import, I set the mountpoint with: zfs set mountpoint=/tmp/rescue rpool/ROOT/openindiana and zfs mount rpool/ROOT/openindiana BTW, the following should be equivalent: zfs mount -o mountpoint=/tmp/rescue rpool/ROOT/openindiana but doesn't work. It seems to ignore the mountpoint.

You may need to mount the root (rpool/ROOT/your_be_name) file system manually. Do you see it in zfs list ? Also check you do not have /var in a separate dataset, in which case mount it as well. -- Regards, Cyril ___ 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] Importing a solaris 11 express pool?
I need to, at least in read only, import a zpool that was created in solaris 11 express. No compression, encryption, snapshots etc. just a basic pool. Is there a way around the versionning?
