Alan,

I probably misses that. Can you point me at some official URL or

Oracle doesn't want the command modernisation and ksh93 projects. They
had too much community influence in the past, are too independent and
Oracle wants to replace the Solaris commands in usr/bin with GNU
commands. Oracle has already decided that in February and now try to
get rid of the projects by denying them repository access.
The projects are dead. There is enough evidence what Oracle is planning.

[osol-discuss] Opensolaris or Solaris VPN solutions

2010-05-10 Thread Bob Palowoda
Just curious what is the basic plan for VPN solutions for Opensolaris or even 
Solaris in general?  What would Oracle recommend as a common solution in this 
category that would include Solaris x86, and Solaris sparc?  Open source or 
proprietary as long as it has a roadmap that can work and is available on both 
hardware platforms for Solaris and OpenSolaris.

There are currently several 3rd-party solutions that work on both Sparc 
& x64, for both OpenSolaris & Solaris. In addition, both support a 
variety of VPN-style solutions via IPSEC and tunneling.  Plus, 
practically all of the VPN/Firewall vendors produce clients for Solaris 
(which, to my knowledge, also work fine on OpenSolaris).


I don't think there has to be One True Solution, and in fact, I'd be 
very reluctant to support that sort of thinking.

Yeah sure .. I'll call up lawyers this morning first thing on nothing but

mental cruelty.

Or I may just make a cup of coffee.

The problem we're currently working through is that Oracle is less open
in communication with the community that many would like. You, though,
seem to have privileged access to information that's not available to the
rest of the community - perhaps you would like to share that with us?

Or are you scaremongering based on incomplete (or no) data?

What I said was that conversion of any *new* utilities to ksh93 is on hold.
Bug fixes in ksh93, its libraries, and previously converted utilities are

himself in his arguments. So like I said in an earlier message, I made a cup of 
coffee and then felt that it wasn't worth looking at.

Personally I see the ksh93 shell work as some of the best open source 
collaboration in modern UNIX(R) history. I fully expect that it will always be 
around forever as some sort of package set to be installed.

What I said was that conversion of any *new* utilities to ksh93 is on hold.
Bug fixes in ksh93, its libraries, and previously converted utilities are

I agree. Both the ksh93 and the modernisation project it spawned are
excellent work and would be of great benefit of Opensolaris.

But all that work appears to be fruitless if the intentions of Oracle
described in 
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-discuss/2010-May/056462.html
will be implemented.

if 
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-discuss/2010-May/056462.html
turns out to be true then there will be development of Solaris-tools
but they will be based on GNU coreutils instead of the ksh93/AST
framework developed by Opensolaris in the last four years.

IMHO the ksh93/AST framework is superior but it looks Oracle's
management has already decided on this.

Unfortunately, this change is so recent, that I don't think the official
websites have been updated yet while they work out the details.   We got
the notice internally late last week that said:
"Oracle Solaris on non-Oracle Sun hardware will be supported. The program
 is being worked out and more details will be available shortly."

Yes - the plan to modernize /usr/bin and eventually get rid of the need
to have /usr/gnu/bin first in the $PATH to provide a modern experience
has been around since far before the Oracle acquisition - dating back to
the start of Project Indiana pretty much.

BTW, if it was true that every /usr/bin utility was going to be replaced
by a GNU one, would there have been a half dozen bug fixes to the Solaris
version of tar over the past couple of months?

Re: [osol-discuss] Problem: Very long delay before login prompt (GDM splash)

2010-05-10 Thread Brian Cameron


Robin:

On 05/ 8/10 02:14 PM, Robin Axelsson wrote:

The delay is 3 minutes long (~180 seconds) and not 2 or 30 seconds. This
is delay easy to measure since there's a clock in the bottom right
corner of the login splash that is frozen which "jumps" 3 minutes
forward when the input text field for the user login pops up. I supply a
picture of what the login soplash screen looks like when it's frozen and
another /var/adm/messages logfile that is linked to this image and
contains more "before and after" information.


Looking at the messages20100508-1959.log.txt file that you provided, I
notice the following:

- The GDM service started at 19:59:27
- At 19:59:33 it looks like the slave daemon informs the greeter to
  prompt for the username
- At 20:06:14 it looks like the prompt was answered with a username.

This looks like a 6 minute delay, much longer than 3 minutes, but
perhaps it took you some additional time to actually enter a username?
Unfortunately, the syslog doesn't seem to contain any information
between 19:59:33 and 20:06:14 to indicate what might be causing this
hang.

Later in the log, I also notice that GDM service started at 20:08:21
and that the greeter was informed to prompt for a username at 20:08:31,
but that is where the log ends, so I don't see any delay here.

Also the 0-greeter*log files (which shows stdout/stderr when the
greeter is running) shows the same warning/error messages that I see on
my machine but I do not have a slowdown.  So this log does not seem to
highlight anything unusual that is causing the hang for you.

Since this problem seems to only be affecting a few people, I wonder if
you might be able to identify what about your setup might be different
that could be causing the slowdown.  Are you using a particular locale,
IM (Input Method) setup, or somesuch that might be causing GDM to behave
differently for you than for others?  If you are using a locale, then
does GDM not hang if you switch to using the default C locale?

I notice that bug #14857 in defect.opensolaris.org seems like it might
be related.  I notice the same unusual GConf error in the "out" file
that you provided.  Your problem sounds different than bug #14857 since
it seems to be affecting you on the login screen, while the slowdown in
bug #14857 seems to affect the user session starting.  However, if this
is a locale issue, then this might be explained if you are setting your
default locale systemwide (so GDM picks it up) while the person who
reported bug #14857 might be setting their locale via the GDM login

It might be helpful to get some truss output to debug this problem.
If you rename /usr/bin/gnome-session to /usr/bin/gnome-session-real
and then create a script (with execute permissions) named
/usr/bin/gnome-session which contains these two lines

#/bin/bash
truss -faldo /tmp/truss.out.$$ gnome-session --debug

Then restart the "gdm" service.  This will cause GDM to run the
script to start gnome-session, which will launch the gnome-session-real
with truss turned on.

This will do two things.  It will make things even slower, and it will
create a /tmp/truss.out.(pid) file which will show what gnome-session
is doing, and might highlight the problem.  The truss output timestamps
each line so it might better highlight where the problem is happening.
Truss output is large, so it might make sense to attach the output to
doo bug #14857 rather than as an email attachment.

Yes, that is what I meant.  If you don't have the Face Browser enabled,
then there is no need to load the users.  However, according to the
syslog, this slowdown is only a couple of seconds, and probably not the
issue which is causing the long slowdown that you are seeing.

[osol-discuss] Trying to compile gtk murrine

2010-05-10 Thread Ty John
Not sure if this is the correct ML but its the only one I'm subscribed 
to right now.
I'm trying to compile the gtk engine, murrine from git but keep getting 
a syntax error in the configure script.


checking whether the g77 linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared 
libraries... yes

checking dynamic linker characteristics... solaris2.11 ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
./configure: line 19782: syntax error at line 19806: `(' unexpected

Line 19786 looks like this:
LIBTOOL='$(SHELL) $(top_builddir)/libtool'


Line 19806 looks like this:
AC_PROG_INTLTOOL(0.37.1)


I'm not much of a bash scripter so I'm hoping someone here knows what I 
need to change so it parses properly


Cheers :)

That indicates you're missing the intltool.m4 macros that would
expand AC_PROG_INTLTOOL into the right shell code calls.   Bash/ksh
don't know what to do with the unexpanded m4 macro.

'pkg search intltool.m4' suggests installing pkg:/developer/gnome/gettext
(aka SUNWgnome-common-devel if you're not on a recent /dev build with the
 new-style package names).

[osol-discuss] Disk broken - replaced - but still has "failed" condition

2010-05-10 Thread Ronny Egner
Hi,

i am having some trouble replacing a former failed disk. As you can see from 
the following disk c11t15d0 is in condition "failed":

r...@openstorage:~# cfgadm -al c11
Ap_Id  Type Receptacle   Occupant Condition
c11scsi-sas connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t6d0   disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t7d0   disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t8d0   disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t9d0   disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t10d0  disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t11d0  disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t12d0  disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t13d0  disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t14d0  disk connectedconfigured   unknown
c11::dsk/c11t15d0  disk connectedconfigured   failed

We replaced the disk physically with a new one but trying to configure the disk 
fails:

r...@openstorage:~# cfgadm -c unconfigure c11::dsk/c11t15d0
May 11 07:19:35 openstorage genunix: [ID 408114 kern.info] 
/p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@5/pci1014,3...@0/s...@f,0 (sd124) offline


r...@openstorage:~# cfgadm -c configure c11::dsk/c11t15d0
cfgadm: Insufficient condition

Configuration can be forced but the disk is still in "failed" condition.

r...@openstorage:~# cfgadm -f -c configure c11::dsk/c11t15d0
May 11 07:19:55 openstorage scsi: [ID 583861 kern.info] sd124 at mpt4: 
unit-address f,0: target f lun 0
May 11 07:19:55 openstorage genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] sd124 is 
/p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@5/pci1014,3...@0/s...@f,0

/p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@5/pci1014,3...@0/s...@f,0 (sd124) online


Interestingly device nodes look quite strange as wel:

r...@openstorage:~# cd /dev/rdsk
r...@openstorage:~# ls -la c11t15d0*
r...@openstorage:~#  lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 63 2010-05-10 13:06 c11t15d0p0 -> 
../../devices/p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@5/pci1014,3...@0/s...@f,0:q,raw

r...@openstorage:~# cd ../../devices/p...@0,0/pci8086,3...@5/pci1014,3...@0
r...@openstorage:~# ls -la
drwxr-xr-x  2 root sys  2 2010-04-10 20:40 s...@f,0
??  ? ???? s...@f,0:a
??  ? ???? s...@f,0:a,raw


I already did a "boot -r" but to no avail.

Any help?


Thanks in advance
