[osol-discuss] Upgrade 133 - 134, now can't boot anything :-(
I'm sure this should be a FAQ, but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Yesterday I upgraded my laptop from 133 to 134. The upgrade went without a hitch, and the fast reboot gave me a working system. I then shut it down, feeling all confident, but now when I try to boot it I just get to the grub prompt. No error messages or anything. I should have been watching this list more closely, but I have no idea where to go from here. Help! What's my next step ? I know I have a working OS on there somewhere (in fact a couple, because I have Windows Vista on there too), but I don't know how to find it. The help at the grub menu is less than helpful. I'm a bit worried, because I upgraded this machine, my work machine, as well, but I don't dare to reboot it now. I was just getting too cocky with the alternative boot environments, and thinking if it all went wrong I could just go back.

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris b134 Genunix site iso failing boot
I can confirm this too. I installed OpenSolaris snv_133 in a Dell Vostro 1520 and everything works great. After the upgrade to snv_134, the laptop reboots at the splash screen. Using console=text on grub make things work again. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] NIS not working on 2009.06?
Hi all, Sorry if this is in the wrong place, couldn't see a NIS board... I'm currently doing part of my dissertation and I need some sort of naming service, the project is fairly small and NIS would be ideal (LDAP is far too big, DNS won't do users, etc.) I have four machines, freshly installed. On the master I install SUNWyp. I set the domainname and put that into /etc/defaultdomain, All of the machines are in each others hosts files, I set off ypinit -m and it goes through nicely. I then go to machine 2, do the domainname stuff, hosts file is correct. I follow the rest of the instructions in The OpenSolaris Bible and finally run ypinit -c It complains that some services aren't there (because I didn't install SUNWyp), but otherwise seems fine. I make sure nis/client is enabled. When I do ypwhich in the NIS client, it says: Domain domainname is not bound on localhost (e.g. Domain mydomain is not bound on nisclient) The NIS master knows its a NIS master and echos it's name back when I type `ypwhich` on it. I have tried installing SUNWyp on the client system, then going through all the steps, but still no luck. A year or so ago I did the Sun Solaris 10 Admin part 1 and part 2 courses, I still have the course books and followed their instructions (I know it was for Solaris 10, but it was very similar to the instructions in the OpenSolaris Bible). Even after following these instructions I have had no luck. I get the same error message on the NIS clients... The master and clients are all running OpenSolaris 2009.06 with no updates, and I'm currently running them in VirtualBox 3.1.2 (3.1.4 causes problems on my machine) and they all have bridged networks through the same physical NIC. Any ideas? Many, many thanks, Ben -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] about zfs exported on nfs
A zfs fs set with smb and nfs on, and set chmod g-s (set-gid) with a local users uid:gid is being mounted by a remote linux host (and windows hosts, but not discussing that here). The remote user is the same as the local user in both numeric UID and numeric GID The zfs nfs/cifs share is mounted like this on a linux client: mount -t nfs -o users,exec,dev,suid Any files/directories create by the linux user end up with nobody:nobody uid:gid and any attempt to change that from the client host fails, even if done as root. I don't know if there is something deeper going on here, I'll just start by saying I'm doing the same thing (but the server is solaris) and I don't have any problems. This has been in production for quite some time, and used heavily by many users and various nfs clients. It's rock solid, and everyone loves it.

[osol-discuss] About zfs host as NAS.. what software
I know lots of folks use an opensolaris host as a NAS. I wondered what software people use make the osol host a central backup server. Looking thru the many packages shown by pkg manager... I didn't notice pkgs that appear to be devoted to backup across a network. Are there no native tools for that sort of thing? If not, what are people compiling on the osol servers to manage backups across a network? I know about bacula... and of course rsync can be used that way, but so easily with windows hosts. I'm wondering what is out there for osol that can work as a network backup central application. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] [ogb-discuss] candidate affiliation statements from Joerg Schilling
I am working on UNIX, as well as on OpenSource since a long time. I started with first UNIX experiences around 1980 when we made our own UNIX tutorial at the TU-Berlin from (at that time) illegal copies of the Lions UNIX V6 book. I made my first real UNIX experiences with a UNIX clone called UNOS in 1982. I started writing the OSS star implementation in 1982 on a UNOS based system. I made my first OSS experiences in the early 1980s with the OpenSource movement that was initiated by Larry Wall and Rich Salz in the late 1970s together with the Usenet-News system. 1984, I joined the H. Berthold AG in Berlin and started working on the kernel source of the UNOS variant from H.Berthold AG. At the same time, I finished bsh, one of the first shells with a cursor editable history concept from me made in 1982. In January 1985, H. Berthold AG stopped working on own hardware and on UNOS and bought the first Sun system that made it to Europe. Berthold soon became the second largest Sun OEM. Sun supplied me (via Horst Winterhoff and Bill Joy) with a free SunOS source to allow me to write my diploma thesis - a WORM filesystem for SunOS-4.0 that is fully copy on write. Due to my historical experiences with UNIX, I was always interested to have the UNIX sources freely available for everyone and I was very happy to see the birth of OpenSolaris. I was one of the first participants of the OpenSolaris Pilot in September 2004 and I published the first OpenSolaris based distro on June 17th 2005 - 3 days after OpenSolaris has been released by Sun. For the people who have not been in the OpenSolaris pilot: I initiated the idea of the OpenSolaris constitution and the OGB in December 2004 and I first had to fight against some people with this idea until it was accepted in January 2005. I am a strong supporter of the OpenSolaris constitution and the OGB and I believe that it is very important for the OpenSolaris community to have a self-confident OGB. If I get elected, I will work for a strong OpenSolaris community and I will support the long term existence of OpenSolaris in freedom. I am also interested to support a good co-existence of the people who work together on OpenSolaris (inside and outside of Sun/Oracle). I also believe that we need to work on improving the size of the OpenSolaris community and to increase the visibility of the OpenSolaris community in the public.

Both have a commercial version available (including support) for a reasonable fee. Neither are currently available from the Sun/Oracle master OpenSolaris repositories (either main or dev). Both are available through Blastwave.org as IPS packages, however. Arkiea Software's Network Backup is also qualified to run OpenSolaris as both a client and server, and it supports quite a bit of interesting functionality. It's commercial software, and a bit pricer than Bacula/Amanda. EMC's NetWorker product is one of the oldest and most-widely used Enterprise solution, and it's featureset shows. HOWEVER, it is /NOT/ currently supported under OpenSolaris (I've gone round-and-round about this). The Solaris 10 client has issues, and consequently, it's not really usable, and the server product won't run. I'm sure there are others out there which I've missed. Frankly, though, you /don't/ want to use something like rsync scripts if you have more than a couple of clients. Get something with a nice master console and indexing/searching capability - it is so worth the time to learn, and is so much simpler to deal with restores when you need them (when you're not in the frame of mind to poke around looking for something amongst your script outputs...) -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Ultra 20 suspend automatically, how to disable
Hi, I have a Ultra 20 and install OpenSolaris build 133. (I want to do some testing on VirtualBox.) But I found that Ultra 20 will suspend automatically if it doesn't have any work to do. So how can I disable this feature? Thanks, Chris ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] [ogb-discuss] candidate affiliation statements from Joerg Schilling
I have a high respect for both of these guys. They have both helped me with my bumpy ride with solaris / open. I have no awarded contributions to the organization and do not want to run for anything. My only concern Is all this about more about owner vs service war and who has more clientele ? I mean the end product is still not really a fully functional type of machine ?? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
