[osol-discuss] b122 How to enable Dual Screen - need to increase virtual desktop size?

2009-09-09 Thread Adam Retter
I have installed OpenSolaris build 122, I have two screens attached to
my desktop machine.

At present the screens are mirrored - instead I would like them to be
one desktop from left to right, split across the two screens.

If I use the System - Preferences - Display application to uncheck
Mirror Screens then I get this error -


Could not apply the selected configuration

required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(2560,
1024), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1280, 1280)


Any ideas how I can change the maximum virtual size setting? The
option doesnt seem to be in the app!


Thanks Adam.

[osol-discuss] How to delete files as dos 'del *.java /s' on command line

2009-09-09 Thread Davide
How can I delete files recursively in all subdirectories with .java extension?

Under ms-dos I used to execute this: 'del *.java /s'

I tried 'rm -rf *.java', on command line, but it didn't work,
it simply shows me the newer command line with a ready cursor.

Thanks in advance for any precious answer!

Make sure you put quotes around the pattern you are searching, so that 
the shell doesn't accidently expand wildcards with files found in the 
current directory.


xargs isn't safe for filenames with whitespace characters in it.

You probably also don't want to delete directories, just plain files.

The short version is yes.

The printer discovery support under hal provides async printer 
discovery.  The USB printer discovery comes from the kernel via 
sysevents that translate into hal device tree add/remove events and the 
corresponding dbus messages.
The network attached printer discovery  was done as a hal addon, which 
mimics the behaviour provided for USB attached printers.


When you run CUPS, system-config-printer uses hal-cups-utils which has 
it's own method of plugging into HAL for async printer discovery and it 
pretty much ignores the network attached printer discoveries.  This is 
consistent with it's operation on other platforms.  Instead, when you 
launch system-config-printer, and ask to create a new queue, it asks 
CUPS to discover the available printers using the CUPS backend modules.




Shouldn't there be a popup messages alerting to this in Services 
settings (services-admin)?
You might file an RFE to mark the printers:snmp service as incompatible 
with the cups/scheduler service, though strictly speaking, they aren't 
really incompatible.  They just don't interact with each other, but 
could be made to do so.

 Hi

 For some reasons i have been unable to upgrade from snv_111b to newer
 version
 of the development repository.

 But I would like to update, at least, some particular applications like
 Firefox to 3.5 and Netbeans to 6.7.


I'm running Netbeans 6.7 upgraded from 6.5 with package manager on svn_111b,
I have contrib, extra, release and webstack package repositories active
besides opensolaris default repo.

Right now I really don't care about FF 3.5.


 Or install new applications like Areca Backup.

 PKG allows me to do that? Or I will end up with an installation mess.

 The question is general.
 But I am also aware that there could be additional problems because of the
 change from Gnome 2.24 to 2.26.

[osol-discuss] solaris binary compatibility

2009-09-09 Thread Omer Faruk Sen
Hi,

How can I find a list of supported ABI compatibility matrix for
Solaris ? I know solaris famous with its backward compatibility but I
need to run Solaris 2.5.1 binary on Solaris 8 (or maybe later). Is
that supported? By the way how can I find the latest hardware that
Solaris 2.5.1 supports? (maybe sun ultra 60?)

I have a situation that I must make a failover machine for a sun
solaris 2.5.1. What I think is I either use Solaris 8 on V210 machine
and copy 2.5.1  binaries or I will install Solaris 2.5.1 on a Ultra 60
( or maybe blade 100?) machine.

URLs and answers are highly appreciated. I found out that
(http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5080651 ) I can upgrade
2.5.1 to Solaris 8 which means 8 and 2.5.1 are binary compatible (am I
right?)

[osol-discuss] Use of opensolaris

2009-09-09 Thread Gary Bainbridge
It seems a lot of questions about opensolaris are directed at using it as a 
desktop (firefox and mplayer for example).  Opensolaris is supposed to be a 
precursor to the next Enterprise Solaris but directing efforts at desktop 
features seems misguided.  Solaris has always been a server OS not a desktop 
and I would like to see the efforts spent making Opensolaris a solid enterprise 
server, not a desktop OS.

2009-09-09 Thread Martin Bochnig
Hello, then you see only part of the overall picture.
Can't OpenSolaris offer something on the Desktop and continue to be a
good server OS at the same time?

A modern server OS *needs* a fancy GUI in order to survive. And it
needs GUI tools to administer Enterprise features.

Also, would you call upcoming AI a desktop feature?
And the text installer under development right now?
Or ha-cluster software? Or hp-cluster?

It SMF a desktop feature? Or is ZFS?

On http://mail.opensolaris.org/ you find an overview of what
OpenSolaris consists of. Desktop is just a small piece in the puzzle,
even though it is the most visible one.


p.s. Get hold of the OpenSolaris Bible:
http://www.amazon.com/OpenSolaris-Bible-Wiley-Nicholas-Solter/dp/0470385480/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8s=booksqid=1252549367sr=8-1

You will always have it as reference on your Desk, I'm sure of this.
Excellent reading. (Almost too) cheap price.

AI is replacing jumpstart which is an enterprise necessity.
SMF is an enterprise feature and reminds me of AIX's srcmstr.
zfs is certainly an enterprise feature.
A text installer is not a gui that needs gnome or anything like that.
I run OpenBSD as a server and don't have X11 installed.
I run AIX as a server (granted it isn't a desktop by any stretch of the 
imagination) and don't have X11 installed.
I run Solaris as a server and don't have X11 installed.

A gui isn't needed for an Enterprise OS.  I run HACMP on a text screen.  I run 
Sun Cluster from the command line.  Granted, I have to use a gui for Red Hat 
Cluster Suite, but that is a failure of the product, I shouldn't have to (look 
about at HACMP and Sun Cluster).

Everything true. But what's your point?
You want to kill Gnome an X and want Sun to drop them?
Isn't RHEL a successful server OS? Did they get to that point by
neglecting or even dropping the Desktop?

On the SPARC end you can see, that Sun is directly doing what you suggest.
With Xsun being EOL'ed only a very limited number of frame buffers is
supported now.
There is no SPARC-LiveCD. And there will never be one that has a GUI
caiman installer like shipping on x86.

They work on a project that has the text installer which will be
usable via serial.

So which precise steps do you now suggest?

I think you need to do both actually. Just because a bunch of people  
are working on desktop related projects, doesn't mean there's not a  
significant number of people working on server based projects - a look  
through the various putback logs to ON is clear validation that  
there's a lot of server oriented features going back with each and  
every build.


What I will say is that for some, the first experience of OpenSolaris  
(and hopefully Solaris Next) will come through desktop. Yes, that's  
getting a LiveCD sent to them free or charge and installing it on bare  
metal on their laptop or through Xen or VirtualBox so they can do a  
basic evaluation of the OS. A good user experience there will reduce  
the barriers to adoption in the enterprise space IMO.


Different audiences, but both equally valid IMO.
