I’ve been updating and going since 2019 *I think*.  Now after the latest 
update, my Dell t5810 is bricked  I cannot go past the dell
screen, I’ve tried to downgrade the bios,  no luck cannot go past the dell 
screen no matter which f key I push, Rescatux is useless.

Anyone else bricked or know how to fix this…

Hi Jerry,

perhaps you could take a look at this:

https://github.com/tenox7/wrp 

It is a proxy that renders the website in gif/png/jpeg with clickable imagemap 
for links. Its intent is to make older browsers
usable on modern internet (modern html/css, encryption …)

Here is a blog post about it:

[OpenIndiana-discuss] web proxy server w/SSL/TLS termination (on OI)

[Jerry Kemp]

among other things, I have a personal collection in my home of old workstations 
(SGI Irix boxes and earlier Sun workstations), older
Macs, etc.  For example, a recent acquisition was a Sun SPARCserver 1000e 
system (Sun4d), with several external drive units.  Pics here:



As most of you are aware, the web as we know it, continues to become 
increasingly encrypted, with older, commonly used protocols
such as SSLv3 being depreciated in favor of TLS 1.2, 1.3 and beyond.

I would like to be able to do some basic web surfing on these older boxes.  
Emphasis on basic.  The reality is, its very unlikely
that anyone will ever compile a newer browser for my old stuff, and, I doubt it 
would have the encryption/decryption horsepower to
do so, even if modern browser software were available.

What I'm looking at doing is setting up a web proxy, and, having that web proxy 
also do the SSL/TLS termination.  Ideally, this
proxy software would run on OI.

As expected of anyone here, making a similar request, I did do some homework, 
and it seems that there are several pieces of Unix
open-source software that perform this function.   This is just one particular 
hit, but, sharing it as it has a nice summary list of
software that has this capability:



full disclaimer:  This is not for a business, its just for me, in my home. I 
have no intentions of doing Internet banking or
anything else questionable.  Just want to be able to do some basic web surfing, 
download source code, etc.

Specifically, I'm solely wondering if anyone here has already done something 
like this, and, if so, is there any software in
particular you might recommend, or, recommend avoiding.   I'm basically just 
looking for software recommendations, from there, I can
run with the compile+technicals.  As commented earlier, what ever software I 
use would need to compile+run on OI.

Thanks,

Jerry

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NTP not starting in Zones

[Jerry Kemp]

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but typically, I typically only set time/run NTP in 
the Global zone, and my observations are that, NTP in
the Global zone will take care of the GZ, HW time and everything else.

As such, I do not run NTP, or do anything else to set time, aside from 
configuring the TZ (time zone) in local zones.

This has generally served me well since the Solaris 10 beta's.  I wouldn't 
expect a local zone to be able to access the HW clock.

Am I doing this wrong?

Does anybody know what ntp or rather smf is complaining about?
Is ntp not suposed to be installed inside zones? If so wouldn't it make
sense to configure ntp as variant global?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] compile package

[Jerry Kemp]

assuming an accidental typo, but, and assuming you wanted a base/prefix 
directory of /usr , it would be

# ./configure --prefix=/usr

I state this without going into specifics for this particular application.

regarding this comment::
...
When I run the command ./configure I always get this message
bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
...

there isn't always necessarily a "configure" file or "Configure" file or even 
"config"

but, more often than not, there is an "INSTALL" file and/or README file or a 
"docs" directory that can get you kicked off in the
right direction.

This should be more than enough to point you in the right direction.  Once you 
get going, and, if you have more specific errors or
issues, come back and repost, and we all can go from there.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Procedure for enabling Sun keys

Hello Gary,

Thank you for that.

Regardless of OS and HW platform, I pretty much always use either a Sun (or 
Oracle) type 5 or type 7 keyboard.

Jerry

I'm using a Sun USB keyboard on my OI-hipster system.  It was
previously a Solaris 11.3 system.  I'd become accustomed to using two
of the Sun keys of the 10-key cluster at the left side of the Sun
keyboard.  When I replaced it with the OI-hipster system, those keys
no longer worked.  They all showed 0xff in the Keyboard Shortcuts
application.

Here's what I did to restore the Sun keys to operation.  First, I
started the Keyboard Preferences application.  I selected Layouts.  It
showed a Sun Type 6/7 USB keyboard.  Then I selected Options, and
looked for one called Maintain key compatibility with old Solaris
keycodes.  I enabled that option and then closed the application.  I
understand that doing this disables the volume control keys on the
upper right of the keyboard.  Fortunately, I never used those keys.

Next, I started the Keyboard Shortcuts application.  I selected
Minimize Window and pressed the Open key on that key cluster.  The
application showed F17 for that key.  Then, I selected Raise window if
it's covered ... and pressed the Front key.  The application showed
F15 for that one.  Then I closed the application.

After those changes, those two keys did what they used to do before I
replaced the Solaris 11.3 system.  You could set up shortcuts for more
of those keys, of course.

At the grub menu, move to the BE you want to boot and type 'e' (for edit).

Thanks for the info Russell.

I'm curious about the AMD thing though.  My understand had always been that Intel had purchased/leased/whatever acquired the x86 64 
bit extensions from AMD.   Maybe its all the difference between the "meltdown" and the "spectre" vulnerability though.


Sparc, unless someone has updated news, remains unscathed, in addition to being (arguably) the most open CPU, MIPS fans argue that 
they are more open though.

Meltdown which breaks the most fundamental isolation between user applications and the operating system and reportedly effects 
virtually all Intel CPUs. ARM have indicated that the ARM A75 is effected by Meltdown, a variant of Meltdown (3a) effects the Cortex 
A15, A57 and A72 CPUs. AMD have indicated that they are not vulnerable due to a different architecture.


Spectre consists of two variants : -

  Variant 1 which Intel, ARM and AMD CPU are all susceptible to 
this can be mitigated by OS patching.

  Variant 2 which Intel and ARM are both susceptible, however AMD have indicated that this vulnerability has not 
been shown.



I suspect there will be additional vulnerabilities announced later, now that 
more people know the types of exploits to use.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] [SUMMARY] Re: BIND 9.11.2 compile problems on OpenIndiana

[Jerry Kemp]

Summary in SunManager mailing list style.

Thank you to Tim Mooney for his quick reply.

Just in short, this wasn't specifically a BIND compile problem, it ended up 
being an OpenSSL problem.  Based on Tim's comments, I went and checked out the


/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.64/lib

directory.  Even though I had a successful 'make test' from OpenSSL, I noted my 
new SSL libraries were .a files and not .so files.


Back to my new OpenSSL compile, I changed my command line configure options 
from:

./config --prefix=/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.64

to

./config  -shared --prefix=/Applications/openssl-1.0.2l.64

followed by a

make clean
make
make test
make install

Successfully created and installed the .so files I needed.

Back to my BIND compile directory, the same

make clean
make
make install

quickly created my new binaries without warnings or errors.

Thank you,

Jerry

PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED IN SHORT

The problem I am encountering:  The compile bails out during compiling of the
'test' section.   Actual screen captures at bottom of note.

Also note - what is the ".32" and ".64" referencing on some of the directories?
I did both a 32 and 64 bit compile of OpenSSL (both successful and functional),
and then, I (attempted) both a 32 and 64 bit compile of BIND.  Both compile
attempts failed in the same place.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] BIND 9.11.2 compile problems on OpenIndiana

[Jerry Kemp]

Highlight, BIND 9.11.x has some neat new items I wanted to play/work with, so I 
compiled and installed a fresh copy of OpenSSL 1.0.2l, then attempted to compile 
a copy of BIND 9.11.2, linked against my new OpenSSL libraries.


In short, the compile runs for some time, and actually produces (good && 
working) the actual binaries that I need.  Example:

Not that I know of. It's hard-coded in the source.

Why do you want to change it?




It's a question I was asked at $WORK.  Working in a multi-platform environment, 
I have had people inquire as to standardizing misc. log file locations across 
different platforms.


For most items, moving log file locations around is pretty obvious and simple. 
Cron seems to be something else.


Thanks for the reply,

[OpenIndiana-discuss] possible to modify the log file location for CRON?

[Jerry Kemp]

Wondering if it is possible to change/configure the directory location for cron 
from the stock /var/cron/log location to somewhere else.


Looking at the man page, All I really see as configurable is that logging can be 
turned off in the /etc/default/cron file.  The PATH environmental variable can 
also be set here.


I also ran strings across the 'cron' binary, in hopes of turning up something. 
If it is/was there, I missed it.


Is it possible to configure the cron log file location using the 'as supplied' 
cron daemon that ships with OpenIndiana?


Thanks,

Jerry

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] debugging mouse freeze/lockup

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Tim,

thanks for posting this.  It doesn't happen frequently, but I have been fighting 
the same issue.  Gigabyte MB, Sun/Oracle type 7 USB keyboard and Sun Crossbow 
USB 3 button mouse.  Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 SE frame buffer.


NVIDIA driver version 295.75.

I will look specifically for your Xorg log error next time this happens to my 
desktop.

All-

I'm looking for information on how to debug an issue where periodically
the mouse pointer will freeze and become unresponsive.  The rest of the
system appears fine and I can still use keyboard shortcuts to switch
workspaces, close windows, and get to the point where I can reboot the
system.

I'm running hipster, last updated about 3 weeks ago, but this problem
has been happening for a couple years, going all the way back to oi151a9.

Hardware is a Dell Precision T3600 desktop, Nvidia GPU.  I've tried a
couple of different mice -- both Dell USB mice, but much different models.
The current mouse is a low-end Dell USB with 2 buttons + the middle
scroll-wheel that also acts as a button.

When the problem happened earlier today, after rebooting I found
this in Xorg.0.log.old:

This is what that same Xorg.0.log.old had to say when the mouse was

Log messages after that are for hotkey/kbd.

Most of the hits I've found on the net have related to laptops and USB
devices that are being powered down to save power, but this is a
workstation that is always on power.

Any suggestions for what I should do to debug the issue?

Thanks,

As a data point, I often use SDig (switch digger), which is a mix of scripts from early 
2000's to query ARP and similar tables over SNMP, allowing to find a path to that 
offending IP or MAC address that you find in logs, emailed complaints, etc. so you can 
pinpoint it to switch-port and so hardware/location (nowadays, often to the host of a 
VM). Or to find "where does that VM/zone/... run from, so I can login to the host 
and manage it?"

It may be a mediocre solution to absence of 100% coverage with asset 
management, but in e.g. BYOD or end-user populace networks, you can't have that 
anyway. So I'd say the tool is a useful one, when accompanied by some others in 
a toolkit. It does not quite fit the OP requested profile with history for 
postmortems etc... though thinking of it, you can just crontab a job to 
directly request and save SNMP tables from switches into e.g. git ;)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NMS software for snmp-based network monitoring that runs on OI? What's your favourite?

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Hans,

Monitoring tools are something that I try to keep a pulse on.  It seems as I 
jump from position to position thru out my career, monitoring seems to be 
something I occasionally have my hands on.


just as a rule of thumb, anything commercial is going to require SPARC.

For open source stuff, if you can compile it and produce a binary, it should run 
on OI, same as any other Unix, or Unix clone.


If you are interested, I can share my "software list" with you.

Let me know,

Jerry

What we're hoping for is to be able to perform post-mortems when network

several hours after the fact.

What NMSes are you using, any that will run in OI?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] tamp command WAS:::: mbuffer connection refused on varius ports ... what to try

[Jerry Kemp]

Off topic question.

Wasn't familiar with the tamp utility you were referencing in your sample 
command below.   After some research, I believe you are referencing this:


https://blogs.oracle.com/timc/resource/tamp-2.5-source.zip



Correct??

Thanks,

Trying to learn how to use mbuffer and tamp to do zfs send/receive
rather than ssh which is pretty slow even on my home gigabit lan at

So far using ready made examples from posters on this group or a few I
found online I've constantly run into `connection refused' messages.

I've tried various ports which seems to make no difference. I wondered
if there is something that needs doing with the hosts to make them accept
mbuffer connections?

Send host is an HP xw8600 running bld 151_9 .. and recv host is a vm
running hipster in a vbox vm on a windows 64 host.  The windows
firewall is turned off.  And I have no firewall type stuff running on
either solaris host.

Here is an example command that I plagiarized totally from posts here
recently.

,
| sender:
| zfs send tank/dana@snap1 | tamp | mbuffer -s 128k -m 1000m -O
| target_host:31337
|
| receiver:
| mbuffer -s 128k -m 1999m -I 31337 | tamp -d | zfs recv -vFd newtank
`

My rendition:

zfs send p0/vb/vm@170326_1 |tamp|mbuffer -s 128k -m1000m -0
recv-host:31337 | mbuffer -s 128k -m 1999m -I 31337 |tamp -d |
zfs recv -vF p0/vb/vm

  Gets this error:
   mbuffer warning: connecting to recv-host:31337 Connection refused
   mbuffer error unable to connect to recv-host:31337

Trying it by starting recv part on the recv host first (some advice I
found while googling (suposed to provide a listener)) seems to make no
difference.  It ends in the same error.

Illumos/OpenIndiana should only concern itself with 64-bit ARM, which does not
need to function in low resource environments.  Supporting 64-bit ARM is a much
easier task than supporting 32-bit ARM, which has a plethora of variations.

I was never able to acquire any of the source code, or binaries for the ARM

Are they feasible targets for zfs?

The N610N that I have (BCM3302, 300MHz, 64MB) isn't even powerful
enough to saturate either the gigabit wired or 802.11n wireless. It
only goes about 25Mbps.

Last time I test on EEPC 2G's Celeron, zfs is slow to the point of
unusable. Will it be usable enough on most ARMs?



Well, given that ARM processors use a completely different ISA (ie.
they're not x86-compatible), OpenSolaris won't run on them currently.

If you'd like to do the port



I can't say as to the entire Atom line of stuff, but I've found the
Atoms are OK for desktop use, and not anywhere powerful enough for
even a basic NAS server.  The demands of wire-speed Gigabit, ZFS, and
encryption/compression are hard on the little Atom guys. Plus, it
seems to be hard to find an Atom motherboard which supports more than
2GB of RAM, which is a serious problem.



Open mouth, insert foot.

The ARM port is now functional (and available). I would assume (though I can't 
verify) that ZFS support is part of the port.


There are a wide variety of ARM chips, in all sorts of stuff. Given the 
performance characteristics of some of the stuff I've been playing with over the 
last decade (and a pre-look at an ARM-based netbook), I'd have to say that any 
currently-available single-chip ARM-based system isn't going to be good to run 
OpenSolaris/ZFS on.


That said, I can certainly see some really, really good uses for ARM-based 
microcontrollers as the guts of an HBA.   They're likely good enough to do 
something like a tiny computer-on-a-board setup.  Think something like a Sun 
7110-style system shrunk down to a PCI-E controller - you have a simple 
host-based control program, hook a disk (or storage system) to the ARM HBA, and 
you could have a nice little embedded ZFS system.


Either that, or if someone would figure out a way to have multiple-chip ARM 
implementations (where they could spread out the load efficiently).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Install Solaris 1/13 on Sun Fire X2200

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Arhipkin,

I'm not sure that I exactly understand your question.

What I believe that I am reading is that (possibly) the HDD that your OS lives 
on has died, and you are not able to do a new install over the network, either 
via Jumpstart or AI.


If my comments above are correct, probably your best choice is to boot and 
install from an optical drive.


If you do not have OS media, you can download an ISO over the Internet, to 
include from the OpenIndiana site, assuming that is where you want/need to be, 
burn your ISO to physical media, then boot + install from that media.


I'm not certain, but it may also be possible that the X2200 can boot & install 
via a USB key or thumb drive.  I'm not certain, you will need to consult your HW 
manuals for that.


Hope this helps, but if not, please ask your question a different way.  Its OK 
if you are a non.native English speaker.


Good Luck,

Jerry

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Oios ????? Re: mailinglist oios

[Jerry Kemp]

Came across this post searching my personal archives for something else.

Robert/OpenBabel,

Assuming you are still here with us, what is/was Oios?  An OpenIndiana based 
distro?  Or, do/did you sell OpenIndiana compatible hardware?


I followed the flickr.com post, and I do see a bunch of pretty pictures.

Sorry if I am just overlooking the obvious.

Even if this is something that was here but is now history, I would appreciate 
hearing more about this.

Dear Hans,

Oios is best described as system design and built for the enterprise
professional.If you like, a niche market player. It represents a great
opportunity to expand enterprise functionality to those who were not fully
engaged with enterprise and provides an ideal platform to be a leading player in
the emergence of the much promised professional low cost server market (to reach
from the server philosophy).

Internet feedback seems to point to hotspots of interest in the North
American,Brazil,UK,Germany,France,Ukraine,Japan,China,and Australia.Economically
emerging countries under the BRIC label are Brazil,Russia,India,and China.This
may indicate that oi is being adopted by these emerging enterprise markets.My
guess is that oi adoption is aided by desktop use as an interaction and learning
tool for enterprise.

It may or may not be.  But, it list Solaris-next from 2017 out.

I remember going to Oracle briefings, and they did the same stupid thing in 
2011.  They were calling the next release Solaris next, like there might be some 
better name other than Solaris 11.


You may or may not be right, I have no insight, but the PDF you linked to 
certainly does not suggest any end in sight to me.


On another note, watching the Solaris support forums, since this rumor started 
in early December, I have observed S12 go from build 113 to build 116.

This is a separate patch (but widespread one - it is supported by Debian and

The issue is that if DNS is misconfigured on client side, it can lead to long

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sun Ray server, OS and VDI patches were released by Oracle last week.

[Jerry Kemp]

Yep, the filibeto.org mailing list.

The last post that I have was from 24 September 2015.

I need to qualify my comment.  AFAIK, there was no official end that was posted 
that I was aware of.


At some point, shortly after Oracle announced that they would be discontinuing 
the SunRay line, all activity from the mailing list dried up, and, then a short 
period after that, the associated web site http://www.sun-rays.org/


dropped off of the Internet.

Reviewing the Wayback Machine archives, the last crawl of the web site was here:



Although I believe that the web site was online at least into 2015.

I have mixed feelings about the list.  The software generally both installed and 
worked pretty well on Solaris.  The stuff I really enjoyed from the list was 
that Sun->Oracle engineers & developers were on the list and shared tips and tricks.


At some point, the SRSS software had been ported to lunix, and was very unstable 
on that platform.  At least, that is how it appeared to me.  I never attempted 
to run SRSS on lunix.  But, the whole mood of the list changed after the port. 
At least from my perspective (and you know what that's worth :) ), the whole 
mood of the list changed, and now the list was all about trying to resolve and 
run SRSS on the new platform.  Slim to almost no Solaris based content.


I was tempted many time to suggest that the list split into two, one for each 
operating system, but didn't.  IMHO, the SunRay was a great thin client 
platform, and I personally own 6, although I only have one (2FS) in use right 
now.  I would like to grab one of the Oracle 3+'s at some point in the future, 
should one cross my path at the right price.


Thanks again for sharing updates on this product.

I didn't login for 3 days because as always  I worked for free and unpaid on 
OpenSolaris.
Now I wanted to have a look how many folks have given me at least some pennies 
back fro my more than half of a year of work on KMS.

As it turned out: 0.0 arrived on my Paypal account.
Including the misc. promised "donations" including the most recent promis from 
Ken mays - no Cent.


Now, enough is enough.
Who wants to find out how he can get USB3 working pays me.
Under these circumstances I won't share my research anymore.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] updating/modifying gnome-terminal title from the command line?

[Jerry Kemp]

I spend a good part of my life at a shell prompt in a Gnome terminal.

I frequently have a lot of tab's open, and it is helpful for me to set the title 
for each tab to some unique setting.


I fired up duckduckgo, and after some searches, I came up with this, as a way to 
set the tab title from the command line:


/bin/echo -n "\033]2;your-tab-title-here\007"

This works, but is a little cumbersome.

Wondering if there is some more elegant and/or more official way to set the 
title from the command line?  Yes, I know I can set the title by using the 
rodent and


Terminal->set title

and I'm not asking about that.

Specifically, I'm wondering if there are other/better methods to set the title 
from the shell prompt aside from the method shown above.  If it is in the man 
page, I'm missing it.


Thank you,

Jerry

[OpenIndiana-discuss] [off-topic] Samsung acquires Joyant

I'm also subscribed to the Joyant SmartOS list, although I don't keep up with it

Catching up on post, I find that Samsung is acquiring Joyant, makers of the

https://www.joyent.com/blog/samsung-acquires-joyent

This apparently happened, or minimally, kicked off mid-June 2016.

Fingers crossed that Joyant, their products, and their employees come out of

[OpenIndiana-discuss] What changed my files timestamp?

Using the routeadm command as an example.

/sbin 445 # ls -l /sbin/routeadm

-r-xr-xr-x   1 root bin45992 Dec 16  2010 /sbin/routeadm

/sbin 446 #


If I were to look at this file next week, and saw that it was identical, aside 
from the fact that it now had a new time stamp of


24 June 2016

, is there any way using tools/applications within OpenIndiana to know who or 
what or what process modified the files time stamp?  Or possibly tools external

The /bin/stat command provides some interesting details, but nothing like

[OpenIndiana-discuss] New box/new motherboard suggestions

[Jerry Kemp]

I am at a point where I need to build a new box for $HOME, and I believe that 
unless something else pops up, I'm looking at a SuperMicro ATX motherboard + 
some Intel CPU's.


Right now, I'm looking at these motherboards, but I'm open to something else::







Planed usage:

This will be a desktop system, not a server but I want dual CPU's and lots of 
memory to have lots of zones and VM's.



Plus some new mid range NVIDIA frame buffer and a new/higher capacity power 
supply.

Staying with ATX size as this is all going into one of my spare Sun Ultra 20 
cases.  I will probably uses those forever, or at least till I can't use them 
anymore.


Comments on the above motherboards are appreciated.  If you have a better 
suggestion, that is appreciated.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mailservers and clients that work on OI

[Jerry Kemp]

Not that it needs confirming, but I can 2nd Jim's comments.

A few years back I did a 3 year contract at a very large telco.  If you used 
your telco provided email account (i.e. either cell phone/mobile device or 
broadband) your email lives and is processed both by Sparc based Sun/Oracle 
servers using (what ever is the current name is this year) the Sun/Oracle email 
server.


It was a very interesting job.  They had originally started using large SGI Irix 
based systems (using a different email solution), then did a brief migration to 
linux, then from linux to Solaris.


Although no longer in production by the time I arrived, this was the last point 
in my career that I was able to used Silicon Graphics equipment.


Jerry



Even Oracle doesn't offer mailserversolutions for Solaris.


Not quite true, the last I checked, Sun Mail Server (nee Netscape mail, then 
Java CommSuite, now OCUCS) lives on and produces new versions.

My old job supported it for a number of ccustomers with my hands, a pretty good 
product. Although in Oracle hands it is now only paid-for, and with a minimal 
purchase baseline so it is aimed at providers or very large organizations. 
Things are negotiatable but it is difficult.

FWIW, its been some time, but I did provide support for several legally blind

Even from that experience, as long as things remain readable via ASCII text, I

Running Apache on OpenIndiana, Solaris, or any other Unix or Unix clone is no 
difference.


The directories you mention below are all configurable in the Apache

If you really need your Apache stuff set up the way you had it in lunux, there 
is nothing stopping you from duplicating that on Hipster.


I have (personally) decided that I like to stick my my big apps in /Applications 
, similar to NeXT/OS X.   Stuff like Apache, MySQL, Nginx, BIND, etc.   I also 
prefer to compile my primary applications like this.  No vendor is going to 
compile the applications I used with the exact options I want and/or don't want.

It seems easy enough to back up the root pool (via filesystem or zfs send) but
restoring the desired parts on top of a freshly installed root pool (perhaps
based on a fresher OS release) is not so clear. For example, how does one
restore persistent networking configuration (links, bridges, IP interfaces)?

I think it is a great topic of discussion.  As much as I love working with 
Solaris and Solaris based distro's, its far from perfect.


The last thing I ever thought I would do was to speak highly of AIX, the Unix

back up and restore an existing (configured) system to a new/blank disk.


(Scope) creeping out further, can any of the *BSD's or Lunux distro's do a full

Absolutely Bob,

I know that the OP wasn't happy to hear it, but Jason made a very good (reply) 
post that shared the comments that I'm sure that we were all thinking.


I have a (Solaris admin) friend at another company who apparently has quite a 
few friends/colleagues/etc who are running Solaris or some Solaris based distro 
at home for ZFS based data storage, and he shared (what I feel) is a somewhat 
unique viewpoint for at home user who won't back up.


From a high level view, his comment to them is to NOT run a mirror.  His 
suggestion to them is to just run a straight drive, then every evening or 
downtime, bring the other disk(s) online and sync them with the online master, 
using rsync, or your favorite utility, then once the sync is complete, offline 
the newly synced data and put it away.


I realize that none of this helps the OP at this point, but this is presented as 
food for though, or a directly related item of discussion.

well be Solaris.  I'm running Solaris 11.2, as I said before, and
zpool upgrade -v goes up to 35, including things like encryption and
sharing with inheritance, and zfs upgrade -v goes up to 6, which is
multilevel file system support, I have no idea what that is but it
must be wonderful.  I understand not wanting to run a closed-source
OS, but if you're going to, shouldn't one prefer Solaris?  What am I
missing?





Jay,

I think you are asking yourself the wrong question.  Its not what you're 
missing.  IMHO, the right question to be asking here, is what is (feature wise) 
important to you.


For me, from the roughly 2 dozen different Solaris based distro's out there, the 
majority are focused on x86/x64.   And most couldn't care less about Sparc.  But 
I do, and that weighs in as I decide what to run.


I'm sure that there are as many different opinions out there as there are people 
using and developing Solaris based distro's.  But Sparc support is an important 
one for me.   YMMV.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Newer versions of Firefox - WAS::::Re: Firefox 31

[Jerry Kemp]

I was reviewing some technical news site and saw that there was a new version of 
Firefox out, 39.x something, to address some big security hole.


I have been stuck on Firefox 25 for some time now, having been bitten by the 
Firefox won't save downloaded files issue, and had somewhat stopped trying new 
versions to address the issue around Firefox 29.x.


Anyway, we always used to have pretty consistent new builds in the contrib area 
on the mozilla site, I believe that they were typically compiled by someone 
within Oracle, in Asia, but that really isn't important.


Anyway, I went out to mozilla.org to see what was currently available, and the 
newest thing I can find is


Firefox 31.8.0 esr

Is that really the newest version of Firefox available to us?

Or have downloads been moved to somewhere else?

Comments appreciated.

I get a good compile, make a package, then stick it on the Jumpstart or AI 
server and I am good to go.


Regardless of the quality of OS provided packages, if compile time options you 
require are not there, its pretty much a necessity to build your own.

I have to compile things myself it is a failure, so much so that I try to
communicate with the package maintainers when a package needs extra

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sendmail logging

[Jerry Kemp]

I use sendmail every day on a multitude of hosts.

I would also 2nd the comment made by an earlier poster concerning an in-house 
compile.


For basic, low level apps, it fine to use OS provided packages.

But for more complex and customizable apps (i.e. Apache httpd, Sendmail, 
Proftpd, BIND DNS server, etc), no OS provided package is going to come compiled 
with the specific customizations and compile time options that I want/need for 
my environment.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] current status? - Re: [xwin-discuss] OpenCL or CUDA?

[Jerry Kemp]

Its been a while since CUDA and OpenCL has been discussed, and I'm wondering if 
there has been any progress, or lack thereof, on OpenIndiana, or Solaris, or any 
of the other Solaris based distro's?


Assuming there hasn't been any progress, I'm wondering if there can or will be 
any movement forward?


I don't mean for this to be a master of the obvious question, obviously someone 
has to do the work.   Maybe more specifically, is that work done by the OS 
vendor/group?  Or the graphics card vendor and/or driver author?  Or someone 
else?  I would assume from the Wikipedia page that the software would come from 
the graphics card vendor, in our case, most likely, NVidia.


I've been hitting the search engines, and the answers to the above are just not 
obvious.  Much of the discussion centers around Apple, which controls the full 
gamete, from hardware to software.

From my viewpoint, Sun has had/owned OpenOffice, then Oracle had it for a short

I use several Apache products both professionally, and personally, and I feel 
that as a general rule, the Apache people have been very good stewards of any

I don't speak from personal, direct experience here, but the LibreOffice people 
come off as a group of people who are doing what they are doing because they are

Is there a big technical advantage using LibreOffice over OpenOffice?  I don't

I would, however, be interested in hearing if the general consensus across the

[OpenIndiana-discuss] fishing for suggestions for new motherboard

[Jerry Kemp]

I'm long overdue to build out a new x86/x64 system to run (primarily) 
OpenIndiana on, and I looking for comments and suggestions from others who have 
recently done the same.


I have already reviewed our HCL here:

http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Motherboards

But I fear it is dated, as the last update was almost a year ago.

I'm planning to run an Intel CPU due to some issues with another OS, and I need 
it to handle at least 32 Gb of ram.  This is for me at $HOME, but I run a lot of 
zones + virtualization via VirtualBox.


Size - I own a small collection of old Sun Ultra 20 cases that I like to use, so 
I am looking for an ATX sized board.


If it matters, I typically always run an NVIDIA frame buffer as they seem to be 
the path of least resistance and always have nice *Solaris drivers.


Thanks for any comments,

Jerry

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] fishing for suggestions for new motherboard

[Jerry Kemp]

Hello Tim,

Thanks for the comments.

Specifically the USB ones, I really wasn't aware.  My personal opinion and 
experience with USB (and we all know what opinions are worth) is that it does 
fine for use as a keyboard and mouse interface.  And that is all I would ever 
use it for.  I would never use it for storage, with the exception of maybe one 
of those 8 or 16 Gb USB sticks for sneakernet.


I currently have an external drive enclosure attached via e-sata, and I have 
done well with that.


As far as audio and video go, its not something I really push.  YouTube video 
here and there.  Downloaded video's via mplayer, or VLC if that is working 
again.  I really don't push the audio thing hard and so far, I have always been 
happy with what ever audio is on the system board.


I currently have a Gigabyte LGA1366 GA-X58A-UD5 with a Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz 
that I built out in early 2011.  Its done well for me, but is getting pretty 
long in the tooth.

I can't really help you for hardware suggestions, since what I'm using
as my OI workstation is now a couple years old and was a complete Dell
system, rather than just a motherboard like you're looking for.

You've probably already thought of both of these things, but I'll
mention them anyway:

- watch out for motherboards that only have USB3.  That currently won't
   work on OI, so be sure you find one that has some USB2 with a chip
   that's supported.

- you mentioned graphics and I think you're on the right track, but do
   you care about audio?  That can be as hard to get working as video,
   though non-functioning audio isn't always the show-stopper that
   non-functioning video would be.

Good luck, and be sure you report back on what works (and anything that
doesn't) once you find a system.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Sparc

[Jerry Kemp]

By the way, as a way to support Martin's work and get some well-preserved and 
functional desktop-ready SPARC gear, people are encouraged to take a look at 
his blog since he recently began setting up auctions to sell off the machines 
used to develop and test OpenSXCE since their intricacies are now covered by 
code and the hardware is no longer personally required. And it takes up space. 
And Martin wants to eat ;(
Some of the boxes are pretty unique and might gain in value as collectibles ;) 
(i.e. nearly the last built Ultra45 with some extended capabilities done just 
before the SUNWkst market vector collapsed).


From what I gather, he did a lot of heavy-lifting to match up a most functional 
set of X11 server and drivers to cover both legacy and recent videocards, and 
much work about integrating the recent releases of desktop gui software such as 
flash player, browsers, etc.


His mood about the ability of both sides to collaborate did fluctuate over 
time, but the last I heard from his blog, he did intend to push his sources 
into the public space. Ne is just wary that more commercialy apt sharks would 
take his multi-year and multi-dollar investment baby, for granted and for free, 
earn money for themselves and leave him on the curb to continue in suffering 
and poverty.

I can only hope that something more ... decent ... would happen in reality.

For what it's worth, the ssh that comes with OpenIndiana is well

Gabriel,

Seems that the link is somewhat broken.  I get a ResultSet not positioned
properly, perhaps you need to call next.

We've been already told that the SF mailman is not exactly a good place.
We will be setting up our own installation of GNU mailman and notify about the
change.
Feel free to suggest a different solution for this.
Next step, other than fixing and adding features, will be to publish the
sources repository.
Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you for the update Peter.

After rather longer than I planned, a new update of Tribblix
(milestone 8) is now available

http://www.tribblix.org/download.html

Main focus here has been on getting PXE boot and network install
to work (still manual, not yet automated - that'll come later).

Some technical notes on the implementation there are in a couple
of blog posts:

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] tcl usage

[Jerry Kemp]

I do.

I use both TCL and Expect quite a bit.

I am still on version 7, I haven't yet updated to version 8/hipster.

Hello.
Does someone actually uses TCL on OpenIndiana? I'm asking just because of
a) curiosity;
b) the fact that 64-bit TCL is broken on /hipster.
https://www.illumos.org/issues/4277

So, I'm interested:
a) if someone has noticed this,
b) does it work properly on /dev

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Booting current generation (EFI) laptops?

[Jerry Kemp]

I don't have a helpful comment here, but I certainly wish you luck.

Sometime 4th quarter, Apple has planned to release their new Mac Pro, aka 
Mac-mini Pro, aka trashcan Mac.


Nothing would make me happier that to purchase one of these for use as a desktop 
and to run OI on it, then to be able to run OS X server legally in a VM.

Hi all,

Is there some magic required to boot OI on laptops with EFI?

I did not have any luck with a usb drive in a store yesterday, on
their display machines, and since I want to buy one explicitly for
OI/Illumos development I really want one that has the basics working
out of the box.

Of course I'm not 100% sure I created the usb bootable thing
correctly, so I'll give that a try over the weekend or something, on
yesteryear's hardware, before trying again.

If there're recommendations for some models, I'm also all ears.

My current requirement list: nvidia, intel cpu, working ethernet.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Workaround for Flash Plugin using older one

[Jerry Kemp]

I am using flash 10.0 r45 with Firefox build 21.0.  After hitting a few 
Yahoo links, I came across this Mozilla support page that showed how to 
disable the warnings:


http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/928105

.


Try to disable blocklisting by setting the Boolean pref 
extensions.blocklist.enabled to false on the about:config page.


http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config

Also remove the blocklist.xml file and the pluginreg.dat file in the 
Firefox Profile Folder.


You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Help  Troubleshooting Information  Profile Directory: Open 
Containing Folder


.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] hipster repo - WAS::::Re: [UNSUBSCRIBE]

[Jerry Kemp]

What is the hipsters repo?

Can someone share the information for that.

And is there any chance it has a working copy of VLC?

Stefan,

Samba 3.5.21 binary package is in the OI hipster repo. Samba 3.6.15 and patches 
are already in the OI-userland git for review.

Best to review that work beforehand, then see where things dropped off.

There was a request submitted for help in updating packages in the new hipster 
repo. I have worked on the Popular Packages page on the OI Wiki to help with 
the update effort.
