[OpenIndiana-discuss] conky scripts

[openbabel]

Installo Scons:
http://www.scons.org/
tolua++ uses SCons to build. SCons is based on python, you can get a 
stand-alone version on their website. After you have SCons, follow this 
simple instructions:


$ tar xvzf scons-1.2.0.d20090919.tar.gz

$ pfexec pkg install SUNWlua

tolua++ is an extended version of tolua, a tool to integrate C/C++ code 
with Lua. tolua++ includes new features oriented to c++ such as:


* Support for std::string as a basic type (this can be turned off by a 
command line option).

* Support for class templates

$ wget http://www.codenix.com/~tolua/tolua++-1.0.93.tar.bz2

"goto" serve per spostare orizzontalmente "Net "

Per aggiungere e spostare l'interfaccia grafica si deve
modificare lo script:
$ vi $HOME/.lua/scripts/clock_rings.lua

Nel mio caso ho aggiunto due interfaccie di rete:

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Gnome and the future

[openbabel]

I am of a commercial view. I am interested in the most popular desktop 
and most developed environment which is accepted by the current or 
potential user base.It would not be the correct choice
going with a project which either peters out or is not accepted by 
commercial users as this would waste development time and resource too?


As an Enterprise system the commercial view should prevail?

Suddenly today, I just noticed that I've been using my thinkpad running

But I works perfectly in Ekiga for resolutions  < 640x480, after 
there are

some glitches which could be fixed :) Just enough to work :)

So here is an attempt to list the working webcams:

- Logitech Portable Webcam C905, Detected YES, Video YES up to 640x480,

- Logitech Quickcam V-UAM37, Detected YES, Video NO, Sound YES

If this email gets replies, I would like to list the supported

As I understand it the strategy was always to encourage the 
proliferation of solution providers and integrators to fulfill this 
function.These It was thought would form in the market where a stable 
release,sufficient development had taken place to provide significant 
market penetration and adoption.If this time has come perhaps it maybe 
helpful to welcome the listing of interested parties on the website?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] abandoned support for OpenOffice, Miozilla Firefox, Adobe Flash, etc.

[openbabel]

Its worth bearing in mind that the HTMl format will eventually be 
available through FF as a default format,  although if you wish to be 
creative it would be great develope VLC as
the default player in the browser.Bear in mind many programs will 
eventually be available through wine or the industries gradual migration 
to cloud services.Clearly Oi could

be a great cloud desktop on a USB.

For your consideration:

Support for several programs that I really enjoy has been discontinued for the 
OpenSolaris / OpenIndiana platforms.  It won't be long
before FireFox 3.6.12 becomes unacceptably obsolete ... and OpenOffice 3.1.0 
... and Thunderbird 3.2.4 ... and Adobe Flash ... and ??
The unfortunate result is that with no continuing support from software 
providers, OpenIndiana is gradually drifting toward obsolescence.


Please know that my understanding of programming is basic and mostly 
conceptional and I have just about zero experience.  So,
what I am about to offer might be based on a misunderstanding of what would be 
in involved.

Would it be possible to modify some select segments of OpenIndiana code to 
accommodate programs that are tailored to run on one
of the major Linux Distributions?  And, most importantly, while making the necessary 
alterations, do not effect the "look and feel" of
OpenIndiana (as OpenIndiana has not changed the 'look and feel" of OpenSolaris).


If I correctly understand the nature of the GNU General Public License, the 
Free Software Foundation, copyleft licensing, etc., I believe
it should be possible to copy and adapt some of the pertinent source code 
segments and libraries directly from the Linux kernel and/or
from a major Linux distribution.  I imagine that the required modifications 
would probably not be as extensive as designing that support
rom scratch ... though it would certainly be more involved than a simple "copy and 
paste".

If (as example) Debian source code is fairly close to OpenIndiana, with regard 
to support for a specific web-browser (let's say FireFox),
then the program, its libraries, and updates (as run on Debian or Debian 
derived LinuxOS) could be applied directly and unchanged to
OpenIndiana.  Thus, a copy of the FireFox program for Debian (and its updates) 
would work as cleanly on OpenIndiana as they do on any
of the Debian derived Linux OS (Ubuntu, Linspire, Knoppix, etc).

If the above can be acomplished, a "Debian flavored" copy of a program and 
updates (again if I correctly understand GNU GPL licensing)
could be added to the OpenIndiana repository.

I regret that I don't have the knowledge or talent to provide a real and 
working illustration, but I am sure that a more knowledgeable person
will understand what I propose.


If OpenIndiana cannot be updated and kept current, how long before a user is 
forced to change operating system to keep up with new
program features and new hardware or to view new (and even the 'not so new' 
multimedia formats)?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] sponsorship and wallpapers

[openbabel]

l would be interested to know if there are any ongoing sponsorship 
negotiations taking place? It is my intent to start putting out informal 
approaches over time. Intially focusing on the website, graphics, and 
wallpapers el al.


Are the opensolaris desktop wallpapers opensource and available to modify?

Any thoughts?

Hi Bryan,

I know about it for long time. It could be because some libs were

there are different things which would be nice to solve instead of

[OpenIndiana-discuss] mailinglist oios

[openbabel]

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.

Tribblix, XStreamOS-Desktop, and OI are the current leading 'desktop-oriented' 
distros. Those distros differ in
package management and default desktops (amongest other things). OpenSXCE was 
one of the leading
  desktop distros for the OpenSolaris community that supported both x86/x86-64 
and legacy SPARC platforms.

As in cars, people working on similar things can contribute to each other as 
well as the big brother distro
(aka Solaris). Some distro projects are self funded or corporate sponsored 
(Nexenta, OmniOS, SmartOS, etc).

OI was more about the foundation of testing the latest Illumos kernel snapshots 
and porting the core upstream consolidations - while supporting a desktop UI 
experience. People wanted to support the 'core OS' consolidations and some of 
the legacy OpenSolaris core projects.

People then branch out and spread their wings to 
build/consult/enhance/embrace... hence, like a phoenix

Dear Hans,

Oios is best described as system design and built for the enterprise

opportunity to expand enterprise functionality to those who were not

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

guess is that oi adoption is aided by desktop use as an interaction 
and learning

tool for enterprise.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] The end is near

[openbabel]

I think this is off topic noise..but my opinion is that this is the 
result of a decision by Fujitsu to back ARM technologies in the data 
centre. Following the announced takeover of this industry leading UK 
chip company the Japanise company now wants to launch new ARM 
technologies into the data centres. This may explain 
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/23/fujitsu_arm_post_k/


The question for oi is will it run on these ARM chips which will likely 
be common place after the downward fortunes of intels monoploy.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] coreboot and OI

[openbabel]

I am trying to install oios after updating the UEFI bios to the latest 
F20/21. The previous bios ran oi but post install of the new bios it 
freezes after SUNOS boot information screen. This is similar to solaris 
11.3. I am advised that I can no longer return to earlier copies of the 
bios so I am resorting to looking at the opensource coreboot project 
which is meant to support opensolaris. Has anyone any experience of 
installing coreboot to run Oi ? if so what are instructions to do this?

Greetings All,

I have used many operating systems over the years and lately have been
using Windows (all flavors) as well as Linux (Ubuntu, CentOS, Gentoo,
etc...) bu mostly have been using Ubuntu 16.04 as my desktop for some 
time

now.

Currently, I am gearing up to do a couple of projects which have the
Illumos base which are in the SmartOS arena, but it made me start to 
wonder
if I should also consider loading up OpenIndiana Hipster as my 
desktop so

that I can become more familiar with it as it seems to have many
similarities as SmartOS and wanted to get the opinion of the OI 
community

as to what they thought about it as a day-to-day OS?

Mostly just exploring the possibility of nuking Ubuntu in favor of
installing OI for a while to see how it runs.

Any comments, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Firstly , Openindiana is the distribution name because /hipster 
(lowercase) is not OS/distribution name, but a repository name.
I welcome you to illumos distributions, Unix-derived family. (It is 
truly derived from Unix and not just Unix-like)


Openindiana is a server-oriented UK-hosted OS that have a desktop. OI 
has 'snapshots' twice a year (not a releases per se, since they are 
not supported to be updated as such like in Ubuntu) and in the 
meantime there are contiuous updates of fresh and 'vanilla' illumos 
updates and the effort of contributors in 'userland' source repository 
to make it better, more bug free and add fundamental features, where 
Alexander Pyhalov is standing out together with all other important 
contributors.


Having a MATE desktop, Firefox ESR and LibreOffice (from SFE 
repository), Openindiana is enough for everyday use of internet 
services and using Solaris zones (those might end up hosted in the 
illumos based cloud), but it is sure that some device driver support 
might lacking or trailing behind  a bit.
You can also bootstrap Joyent SmartOS userland and use it in the 
window, using pkgsrc packages, separately installed, in the terminal 
emulator and have it together with OI desktop experience. There are 
also Boot Envornments on top of ZFS that makes both testing and 
production use more reliable and predictive experience etc.


So you can count on frequent and inclusive experience, that would 
demand of you to be more included in the development of the OI itself, 
not only by posting bug reports or driver support requests, but it 
could also allow you to be more directly involved (and more 
appreciated) then in some other distributions you could. So it's both 
exciting and fulfilling experience to use it and make it better.
Don' take anything by the letter , be free to openly (and publicly!) 
collaborate with others and everything you do will be important.

Hi everyone,
we are happy to announce that a repository containing all the oi-userland
packages built with gcc 6.4.0 is now available for testing.

The repository is located at:

http://pkg.openindiana.org/gcc-6/

It is synchronized with the latest oi-userland bits and contains some minor
updates.
While these packages have been tested for a few weeks now, be aware that
the repository should be used for evaluation only (not in production).

Note that illumos-gate is still built with illumos-gcc 4.4.4.

To test this repository, we recommend that you create a new Boot
Environment (BE) and update manually this newly created BE.

Assume the right credentials using sudo, or pfexec if you have Software
Installation profile: you need to add sudo or pfexec before each of the
following command lines.

$ beadm create 20180207-gcc6

with '20180207-gcc6' an arbitrary BE name.

$ beadm mount 20180207-gcc6
Mounted successfully on: '/tmp/tmp.7mayXC'

with '/tmp/tmp.7mayXC' the mountpoint of the new BE.

Add the gcc-6 repository to the list of publishers and set as preferred:

$ pkg -R /tmp/tmp.7mayXC set-publisher -P -O http://pkg.openindiana.org/
gcc-6/ userland

$ pkg -R /tmp/tmp.7mayXC set-publisher --non-sticky --disable
openindiana.org

$ pkg -R /tmp/tmp.7mayXC publisher
PUBLISHER   TYPE STATUS P LOCATION
userlandorigin   online F http://pkg.openindiana.org/
gcc-6/
openindiana.org (non-sticky, disabled) origin   online F
http://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/

Finally you can update the new BE:

$ pkg -R /tmp/tmp.7mayXC update -v

Be aware that the update can make up to 3GB of data.

The created BE can be chosen manually at the next reboot, or activated
using:

$ beadm activate 20180207-gcc6

Please report any package dependency issue that may arise.

Happy testing!

OpenIndiana has a much larger scope given how many packages it offers

If it would be hostile, people would be temporarely banned from

something about it. If one recognize the problem and keeps doing th

Also well-behaved and civile community is much more important then

anything to do with OI. Also it is of most importance to inform 
Newcomers that being polite and helpful is valued and ignoring

So using one's own mail client is not connected with Openindiana

Catching up on post, I find that Samsung is acquiring Joyant, makers
of the SmartOS distro, among many other neat things.

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 this unscathed.

When I heard of it and read it on Joyent site, I was somehow happy,
because Samsung is producing it's of silicon and having factories and
large user base and the clear public image.
As I remember Samsung makes it's phones with an ability to record
phonecalls, because they implement function in silicon they produce,
where many(most) other vendors doesn't implement it in fear of coming
under local regulations and hardware is reused in many other models. So
it's important to make your own silicon. That can also open the question
of ARM port, where Samsung produces it.

They got exceptionally fine server and cloud crew for them and not to
forget big community for open cloud (SDC), distro and illumos in
general, including Openindiana (extending partially to Solaris).
If they keep the business and have it growing and open and reuse it,
there's clear road ahead for Samsung, too.

Ok, hi Apostolos,

as said already: A pity that (almost) nobody of all those others for whom it apparently 
works fine took the time to report, while there are always enough individuals interested 
in discussing "code of conduct" and worse pogroms..
Now that the only feedback anybody hears on-list about the i915 backport is "oh, doesn't 
work" it appears as if it is "instable crap", to quote certain well-known geniuses.

Nevertheless thanks for reporting and sorry that you are experiencing problems.

Now, let's nail this issue: Yes, the same pciid 42 was already attched for the 
old ums i915:

https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/6730577/
alias = pci8086,42  \

And yes, it should also still work with Oracle's newer driver designed for 
Solaris 12 that I backported to OpenSolaris.
Your output below is a good beginning at best, but what's missing:
*Did you still test in 32bit mode, without 32bit i915/drm bins on the 
Hipster/Mate DVD?*

If yes, then it wonders little that you ended with what you call a "black 
screen", because as there is no 32bit compiled version of i915/drm included on the 
DVD, how would it work?

Yesterday I stated already that it *is* possible to build old IA32 bins of 
i915/drm, and they are for download (together with the 64bit bins)  here, as 
said:
http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/

They would already be part of the Illumos-gate and would by default get built 
for IA32 _and_ x64, if Illumos was anything related to what they claim to be 
(free bird and stuff).
But history took different routes on scary alarming paths.
So, that's why users of outdated hardware still running 32bit kernels have to 
perform the installation manually after the OS is installed in text mode 
following the steps as outlined in   
http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/INSTALL.txt

So to test them you need at least a USB stick or a growisofs or a 
hdd-installation (because otherwise you have a tough time copying any 32bit 
variant of i915/drm into the boot_archive on wrirte-protected media).

You didn't send /var/log/Xorg.0.log*,
You didn't send syslog
You didn't send any more information, such as where does the "the screen is 
black" event happen.
You did not say if you are now in 64bit mode off DVD, 32bit mode off DVD and if 
64bit mode, why you first said you wanted to run it in 32bit mode.


 From your pciid I could now derive that this is:

{0x8086, 0x42, CHIP_I9XX|CHIP_I965,  "Intel IGDNG_D" }, \

so i965,and in  https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel-900-Serie


that it appears to be:
P965 [17]
Broadwater 90 nm Q2 2006 ICH8 / ICH8R / ICH8-DH 533 / 800 / 1066 MHz 19 W 8 GB 
RAM DDR2-533/667/800

Q965 [18]

RAM DDR2-533/667/800
1.1 GMA 3000





But as you didn't tell me more about your Netbook (not even its name, only its 
vendor), I can only *guess* if it is 64bit capable: PROBABLY NOT.


So then again tell me how you can expect it to function with the current 
Hipster/Mate KMS LiveDVD, after I explained long and well *that* and *why* it 
does *not* contain IA32 bins for i915/drm?


If you want to test my backport on your vintage hardware, then you need to 
perform the installation in text mode or vesa mode and then take the 32bit bins 
after installation from the link I provided.
Again:  
http://opensxce.org/intelkms_working_testbins/Intel_DRMxKMS_S12_to_Illumos_backport__RELEASE/01__GLOBAL/01__BINS/TAR/




When I try the live DVD on this machine I see a black screen.

Did you read what I wrote yesterday already?
NO 32bit bins of i915/drm on this current iso/DVD.

Objet : [OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster distro contents confusion

I'm looking at Hipster 2016.04 and noticing that it supposedly includes
gnome and mate1.4, apart from firefox and ffmpeg and lots of nice things.

No warnings on the Release Notes page.

Then I find another download, 2016 08 16, a test iso where the
intro/invite text talks about serious problems with having both MATE and
Gnome

And I have a few other minor unclear points when trying to understand
the ISO snapshot vs ips server stuff.


So a few questions to clear my mind of unfounded worries:

I suppose the ISOs are "hipster in a reasonably stable state, well worth
trying in a non-critical machine, likely to work just fine, mostly"?

On the desktop hipster is a "no crash stable beta". But you have to add
some package to make it


Here is a script for that.

=
#!/bin/ksh

#
# Compléments Gnome
#

system/install/locale \

===







Are the live graphical ISOs reasonably complete, including most standard
toppings for the Hipster ice cream? Or should I expect to add further
packages after the ISO is installed, in order to have a nice basic
desktop or media server experience??

Is the Gnome vs Mate issue from the 2016-08-16 test ISO a problem in the
2016.04 ISO as well???

In the future, how do I upgrade from my then current Hipster ISO distro
to the next Hipster ISO distro?
Will the ISOs contain an upgrade option?? Or is there some consolidation
package magic to use the IPS server for that??

I intend to run Hipster in a new machine, no old data to backup.

Dear all,

Planning ahead. It would be nice to compile Anaconda for science
sometime in the future.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ARM chips V9 oi

[private mail openbabel]

Dear All,

This is a general question.The announcement of ARM v9 architecture has
questioned the direction of chip technologies. Will Oi be able (as far
as we can tell) to run on the next generation ARM architecture for
server and workstations ?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Ekiga

[private mail openbabel]

I have had no luck with login onto the media account.I was under the
impression that since firefox has been updated you may be able to use
browser web conferencing apps such as netcloud and jitsi. I noticed this
version may now be fully integrated with AV1 which supports live
streams.Has anyone tested this ?

regards,


Robert Jones

Any way to set the pace of snaps myself? It appears that its set to
do 24 hourly snaps a day which for my use is about %90 more than I
need or want.  In fact 2 per day would be about right for me.

Check:

# svcprop auto-snapshot:hourly
zfs/interval astring hours
zfs/keep astring 23
zfs/period astring 1

Change:

# svccfg -s auto-snapshot:hourly setprop zfs/keep=2
# svccfg -s auto-snapshot:hourly setprop zfs/period=8


I forgot to add "refresh"

# svcadm refresh auto-snapshot:hourly

Thank you sir.  I see the difference after the above mentioned
refresh . . .

  svcprop auto-snapshot:hourly 2>&1|tee |egrep 'zfs/(interval|keep 
astring|period astring)'

Now outputs:

  # svcprop auto-snapshot:hourly 2>&1|tee |egrep 'zfs/(interval|keep 
astring|period astring)'
  zfs/interval astring hours
  zfs/keep astring 2
  zfs/period astring 8

So we're now doing 3 snaps per day?
But keeping only 2?

So one is removed every day?

Can anyone clarify the situation about AV1 on the newest FF build? My

work.Does anyone have an idea where I can find a suitable codex build or 
source code?

Thunderbird has announced this year the redesign of the project. I do

No one makes it for Solaris/OPenIndiana/etc ploatform anymore (same is 
true for Opera browser)


You might want to try PaleMoon browser (also based on Mozilla code):
* Code: https://repo.palemoon.org/MoonchildProductions/Pale-Moon
* SunOS ready tar files: ftp://ftp2.palemoon.org/sunos/
* Building guide: http://developer.palemoon.org/build/sunos/ (Tribblix 
Distribution includes it, for example:
