Re: [osol-discuss] Gosling resigns from Oracle
It is really sad to see and witness what is happening to Sun. I understand it very well when these former Sun employees are resigning one after another. Sun under Oracle is not the Sun we know. It doesn't exist any more. It's gone. Nothing will ever be the way it was before Oracle bought Sun. I'm hoping something good will come out of this and I don't mean Oracle. I don't think anything good will come from Oracle, but these former Sun employees can hopefully find new employer who appreciates them and where they can innovate freely so maybe we'll get to enjoy new products / software that these guys are designing.

Some day, we don't know when, opensolaris should become Solaris 11. I think the confusion on the first point is that Oracle has two support offerings for Solaris: there's systems support (Premier Support for Systems), when you want to buy a complete stack from Oracle and get all your support from them, vs. OS support (Premier Support for Operating Systems), which allows you to get support for the OS alone. When I read the docs about supporting offering, they seem to mention full-stack support first, but the section about OS support mentions both OpenSolaris and Solaris. As best as I can read, the clause about unsupported hardware simply means that you can't use software entitlements from a full systems agreement on any hardware outside that agreement, requiring such coverage to be sorted separately. I don't think is as insidious as some of the implications I've taken from other posts to this list, although it does seem clear that Oracle markets the full systems package more aggressively and is likely to have prepared sales and account staff far more thoroughly on how to sell that offering. It's not that OpenSolaris will *ever* become Solaris 11 per se. Parts of OpenSolaris have been and are backported to Solaris 10, a practice that will almost certainly shift to the current Solaris release when a new major release is made. There will be additional development that happens parallel to the OpenSolaris community that render Solaris 11, while OpenSolaris moves on as the development branch of what comes after that Solaris-wise, which will at some point be given a 5.12 designation or equivalent even before there's a Solaris 12 or what have you. OpenSolaris is thus the working-product distribution built from the community-maintained codebase and the binary elements that are offered whilst replacements from CDDL sources are mooted or are limited to binary distribution for some of the same reasons that elements of the Linux codebase contains binary blobs for which there is no community-licensed source. If you want a source code license for Solaris 10 (I don't believe that will include access to all of the code otherwise limited to binary distribution, as there are some elements that Sun wouldn't necessarily have the right to redistribute as cross-licensed source), that can be arranged separately. If you don't like an OS with binary blobs, OpenBSD is about the only game in town that tries to be that open. One major difference between OpenSolaris and Solaris that received little comment is in how they are delivered: much more of the work on installation and providing an immediately usable product has been focused on OpenSolaris. You might find that OpenSolaris and Solaris 10 deliver many of the same capabilities on paper, but their packaging and integration into the build tends to be more extensive and polished under OpenSolaris than Solaris 10, which is built more to the taste of people with some longer-term Solaris exposure and expertise. On the other hand, some of the value-added Solaris 10 products can be licensed for commercial use from the media kit, whereas it's rather hard at the moment to get a contract signed for commercial support of OpenSolaris, at least to judge from some posts to this list. Unless you're planning to buy the full systems support package for a high-volume deployment running OpenSolaris, I wouldn't expect the sales people to know yet how to sell you support. They sell basic Enterprise Linux support subscriptions for € 76.90 a year, so I expect they'll be willing to sell you some version of Solaris for a price not far off that, although possibly not rushing to focus on that when they're likely trying to produce strong sales bookings in the quarter after the acquisition, thus demonstrating retention of valuable large customers, that don't get people straight to second-guessing that decision. I'm not saying they're right (or wrong) to organise behind big-ticket sales before volume markets, but I am saying that it's the sort of thing you'd expect from a large publicly-held technology concern that's happy to be run by the same sort of financial analysts who encourage valuation based on the truth told by your Form 10-Q (i.e. did you make your target 65%+ margins again and are there any indications that you won't continue to do so?). ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] [zones-discuss] Nero Linux in zones
I'm frankly a little shocked by the some of the attitude against people wanting existing tools that work on other platforms. There are plenty of reasons I use OpenSolaris, primarily ZFS and managing very large scientific data sets. I have no real other choice if I want file security and deduplication. So it's not as though i can't manage a command line. It's just a waste of time to learn new tools to do really mundane tasks---if there's a way to get the existing tools to work. At its core, that's the reason that the gnu tools are available, when the Solaris-based originals have similar functionality but different options. No one wants to waste time learning new things that just do what they already know how to do. Can someone tell me how one can easily back up files from a dozen different directories on different file systems, to a CD or DVD easily with a command-line based tool? This strikes me as inherently difficult, and the reason that they invented graphical file browsers in the first place. I don't care much about Nero, but a CLI-only burning tool doesn't strike me as easy when your starting files are spread out all over the place. (And no, I don't want to make a separate folder with all of the files; or burn an .iso first---all these steps take more time, and I just want to assemble the relevant files in a window, and start the burn, and have it verify the data at the end). Forget about Nero, but in this day and age, there should be a decent graphical burning tool (just as no one would argue we should get rid of Nautilus for file browsing). The command-line just isn't the best tool for this job. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

If you're logged into GNOME: Applications - System Tools - Disk Usage Analyzer Use that to help you find where some of that space is being taken up. Also, remember that with boot environments, if you remove the files in a *newer* boot environment (such as the 134 BE you showed), then you'll also have to remove them in the 133 BE or any earlier ones before you can reclaim the space fully.

I've tried to compile Bluefish on OpenSolaris b134 but received errors, so I thought of SXCE and installed. Bluefish is included in the Opensolaris b134 dev releases. You just have to download it after the full install. Located in: Applications Internet Paul There is one problem though and that is I cannot load www.namecheap.com and it eventually times out. The problem is that I can get to other sites without any problems. Can anyone suggest what may be the problem that Firefox 3.5.5 and/or SXCE b130 cannot load one site? Is there a way to upgrade Firefox in SXCE since it is no longer maintained to see if that will fix the problem? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] problem in recovering back data
Hello, I have problem regarding zfs. After installing solaris 10 x86, it worked for a while, and then, some problem happened that there was problem in solaris and it could not get loaded! Even fail safe didn't resolve the problem. I put an open solaris CD and booted from it, I wrote the bellow commands; zpool create raidz c2t0d0 c2t1d0 c2t2d0 zfs create indexes/db1 (/db2) mount -F zfs /dev/dsk/c2t0d0 /name Then, I didn't see the data I had after cd /name. When I retried to boot, the error of 'no active partition' was what I saw in my system. I don't know how, but I installed and chose the disks while installing. After installation, I copied boot block to the other disks for not having problem of boot. I hope that someone help me with that. Thanks! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
