Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Proxy for auto-updates?
Totally new to Solaris Thought I'd try Open Indiana live DVD inside a VM. Question: How do I configure the package manger/updater to use an http proxy? The package manager may be something of a moving target -- I don't have a http proxy to test on, but the instructions here aren't too outdated, so may work: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=59229 Per the other thread, I did try: export http_proxy=http://proxy.name:port sudo /usr/bin/packagemanager But, it still does not work. I finally tried: sudo bash -c export http_proxy=http://proxy.name:port; /usr/bin/packagemanager That did work. Anyway, as a new user, I found a couple of issues: 1) I can't even launch these applications of a fresh install, since the GUI is prompting me for a root password, but no root password is created during the install process. This appears to be true for many admin applets. (Plus, I would have assumed it would use gksudo or some equivalent, but it does not.) 2) There should be a functional, and obvious, cancel button in both those apps while they block on network activity. 3) Since these are among the first applications run on a fresh system, a shortcut to the Network settings applet in the menus and waiting on network state would be nice.

In oi_147 you could fix this by doing a 'su -', giving the password you used during the installation, and resetting the password when prompted (because root's password was expired). I'm not sure if that's the case in 148 or 148a. Might be worth a shot, though. That does work. Seems a fix should be put in place, though. Is there a way to file a bug for this? ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Setting *http_proxy* worked for me on OpenIndiana (147). Didn't test it with 148 though. Hillel. On Tue, Mar 15, 2011 at 7:21 PM, Kevin J.
