[osol-discuss] Print to PDF
One of Sun's bloggers described a CUPS-PDF driver which allows a user to print to PDF (from any program, OOo/SO always has a very power pdf driver) in Ubuntu/Debian. For some reason I was never able to get it to work in Edgy. B/f this feature is ported to Solaris, I have been using a patch-up tool to direct output to pdf (mainly from Firefox). First, I check the print to file box, this creates a postscript file. Then I use the toPDF script to convert the ps file to pdf. For text documents, this does a decent job even with non-English documents (plse see attached file). Would appreciate it if someone knows a better or more direct approach. Thanks.

[osol-discuss] Trouble connecting through Wifi
Hi, I'm using Solaris 10. I'm trying to get my internet up-and-running. I use a D-Link DWL-G520 network adapter ( http://www.dlink.com/products/?sec=0pid=12 ), and have installed the ath driver(v0.5 http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ath/ ) and wificonfig(v0.3 http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/wificonfig/ ) for Solaris. Now, I installed wpa_supplicant(v0.1 http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/wpa/ ) and tried setting it up. However, when I try to connect, it can't find the network. The command I used to set up my profile was: # wificonfig createprofile home essid=mynetwork psk=mypassword mynetwork and mypassword are my network and my network password, respectively. My password is 5 ascii character password. I know my adapter isn't on the Hardware Compatibility List, but according to the ath driver, it should work. I also tried connecting to a non-secured network. When I did that, the computer thinks it's connecting; it says that it's connected, and says that there's packet activity going on. But when I try to use the Web Browser, it can't find any sites. If someone could help me, that would be wonderful.

[osol-discuss] Christmas reboot :(((
Hi All, S10u2 I was ready for Christmas lunch when our services monitoring system alerted me that all the zones on a production server were unreachable .. I logged in the server and found that a process on a zone spawned too much eating all the ram (we need memory capping!!). Cpus were idling.. kill the process didn't work (!?!?!?) Halting that zone didn't work. So I added a swap file of 20GB to solve out the situation. Nothing happened. New virtual memory was available but nothing was working because no new network connections can be established to the services running on the zones!! Network connections to global zones were working. Only a server reboot solved out the situation :( Any ideas? This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] What's the status of virtual consoles?
Not a peep from anybody on Virtual consoles! This is not a good sign of open source in action for Solaris. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

From what I understand, the project is progressing nicely, although I must put my hand up and admit to being one potential bottleneck. There's some work that I volunteered to do--and will start doing soon--but I've not found time to do it yet. That will change very soon, though, as the project I've been working on since last February will come to fruition in the next couple of weeks, and I'll have much more time for this sort of thng. OpenSOlaris is important to me, but paying the bills must come first! This is not a good sign of open source in action for Solaris. I'm sure all is OK.

I think what Dev is saying is that idea was that development process is happening in the open. Rather than periodic reports like - we are on track, everything is cool and indeed we need to be more open. Unfortunately majority of projects registered under opensolaris.org/os/projects still didn't get. I am sure, though, that it will get there eventually... -- Regards, Cyril ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
