Re: [osol-discuss] SUN not doing well under Oracle.

2010-06-05 Thread Ashish Nabira

Hi All;

Just one point from my side. I started with linux and then switched to  
Solaris. Because at that time Linux was easily available on x86. But  
what made me switch to Solaris, is certification was available for  
Solaris 8 only at that time, nearly 9 years back. Then I realized the  
power on UNIX.


The point is people/Compannies are not in love with Linux. They are in  
love with platform it runs on and i.e x86. Solaris will do well if we  
fill the package gap between Linux and Solaris. Simple packages like  
postfix is missing from Opensolaris. I know I can get it from  
blastwave, but that's an extra effort which lot of new users don't  
like. First time experience should be good, if you want to get new  
people adopt OpenSolaris.

[osol-discuss] Osol - pkg inst an earlier revision?

2010-06-05 Thread Attila Nagy
Hi all,

I hit some bug in libtheora.
I use recordmysolaris quite frequently, and libtheoraenc.so 1.1.2 (that's the 
current version if I recall correctly) encodes the uncompressed file badly into 
ogv.
I'm on sxce (125), so I popped in an earlier dvd (117) (ok: I mounted an 
earlier image :)), pkgrm'ed SUNWlibtheora, and added an earlier version.
I have a b134 Osol as well, and libtheora's version is the same on that host 
(1.1.2). It was easy to install the older one on sxce (since I have the iso), 
but how can I do that on Osol?

Thanks in advance!

 I don't have a specific test for you to perform at the moment, but my
 first instinct, when I read your initial post some days ago, was that
 this was very indicative of a network timeout.  I'm not a gnome expert
 by any means, so I'm glad Brian is helping, but I'd not give up the
 network configuration angle as another possible configuration issue.
 Especially since you mention you recently changed nsswitch.conf (and
 friends).  Additionally, it occurs to me during Brian's
 troubleshooting with you that that sort of thing (network timeout) is
 often not logged with a default configuration, which is why you
 wouldn't see it in any of the normal logs.  I suspect truss'ing would
 eventually find the network timeout issue if that really is the
 culprit.

 One thing you can try to do, though, in the mean time, is try using
 simpler (or older) versions of nsswitch.conf (try with just files or
 dns).  If you recently added ldap for any reason, then I might even be
 persuaded to put money down on a bet.
 .


 I removed the dns in the ipnodes entry (which is automatically added
 by DHCP which I believe is the NWAM). I rebooted afterwards and the
 same delay remains. I also noticed that the DNS was automatically
 added back efter reboot. Perhaps you could guide me on what service I
 should restart to make the changes of nsswitch.conf to take effect on
 Gnome without intervention of NWAM.

 I have always used NWAM and DHCP even before this problem occurred so
 I don't think there is a problem in the nsswitch.conf that causes this
 problem and I have not added any entry for ldap as can be seen in what
 I provided in my previous post.

 I also noted that the same delay occurs immedately after I relogin
 when I want to open up a terminal in Gnome. I click several times on
 several places to start the terminal. I get the Starting terminal
 ... at the bottom of the screen but then it disappears and nothing
 happens. After a few minutes the screen i cluttered with many open
 terminals. From then on I can launch new terminals without delay. This
 only happens on occasion.

Re: [osol-discuss] SUN not doing well under Oracle.

My first preference for a UNIX operating system is AIX (as I'm sure anyone can 
figure that out by now), followed by Solaris/OpenSolaris.  I'm just disgruntled 
by Oracle.

Next on my list would be FreeBSD/OpenBSD (I've never used NetBSD).  I'd prefer 
to never touch Linux if I didn't have to, but necessary because of work.

One feature I'd like to see OpenSolaris adopt for Zones is the AIX application 
workload partition.  In AIX, there are system and application partitions, and 
application partitions only exist to run a specific application or job and then 
the partition is destroyed.  This is a very useful feature that should be 
incorporated into OpenSolaris.

*If* there's an earlier version of the package available for build 134, 
then you could install it by uninstalling the current package first, and 
then installing the new one specifying the version.


But I suspect you want to install an older version of this library from 
a much older build which you cannot do using the package system.

It's been discussed, but it really isn't a supportable feature.  The 
whole purpose of a package system is to ensure the correct installation

Adding the ability to override that sort of defeats the purpose of a

That's an interesting feature, but I'm kinda hard-pressed to see how an

Other than dis-allowing other applications to start, and quick startup

That's one thing I've never timed in Solaris - exactly how long it takes 
to start up a zone. I've always just done it at startup time, though I'm 
starting to get to the point where I need to dynamically start/stop zone 
during runs...

  By use I mean play with all the nice advanced features that it can do.

 I realize you're not going to make a lot of money off these folks (but, hey,
 you could make /some/), but they're the next gen folks who will be
 specifying hardware for you.  AIX's problem right now is that the new
 generation (let's face it, anyone under 30) is pretty much totally ignorant
 of what it really can do, and isn't going to have the chance to learn much -
 they'll have to be hired into an IBM shop for something completely
 non-IBMish, and that's a tough road to hoe for getting people exposed to
 your product.

 If we can keep (Open)Solaris out there, with an extremely low
 barrier-to-entry, we can compete for the Linuxes for mindshare, if not
 marketshare.  Because, really, Linux is great for a lot of things, but
 running solid, simply-managed, robust, scalable systems isn't one of them.

I agree 100%.

If Sun had been serious about Solaris x86 (meaning putting some money
and support behind getting developers - particularly desktop
developers) in the mid-90's, I seriously doubt Linux would have ever
made it out of the gate.

Contrary to what the upper management always said, Sun was NOT a
hardware company. They were a systems company. Not understanding that
simple fact, even though that is what their customers kept telling
them, is why the pretty blue has been turned into the ugly red.

*sigh*

Re: [osol-discuss] SUN not doing well under Oracle.

2010-06-05 Thread bsd
Yes, the application zone still needs the same files as a system zone, however, 
the application zone will be created to run a process, and when the process is 
finished it is destroyed.  If you did a list of wpar's after the application 
zone was run, it wouldn't be listed.

A very simplistic example would be, say I'm running ddclient and I don't want 
it to impact of maybe have a security flaw expose my system by letting it run 
as a daemon, and don't want the overhead of a zone constantly being there.  
ddclient can run in an application partition, and after ddclient is done, 
goodbye wpar.  When it needs to update next, the partition is created, then 
again destroyed.

Of course that is simplistic as an example, but it could be replaced by any 
other application.

Where is new OpenSolaris release? Any position?

I founded together with Eduardo Kislanski the Brazilian portal 
OpenYourSource.com, dedicated for Solaris and OpenSolaris news, articles and 
tips.

We are concerned with the OpenSolaris future. Any news?

[osol-discuss] Upgrade to snv_134 dev branch errors

2010-06-05 Thread Matt Connolly
I've just done a clean install of 2009.06 followed by an update of the stable 
branch. Next I've made a new BE, booted into it and updated to dev branch 
according to instructions at http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/en/index.shtml

The update created appeared to succeed, but had these error messages:

Is any of this a concern?
