Its a known problem that should be fixed soon and has to do with the new 
boomer audio subsystem in solaris (when that package was put together, boomer 
did not exist).

The website:

jaris.jp

is down What happened?!?!

I suspect a DNS issue might be the culprit:

r...@solarisunix:~# dig jaris.jp +short
r...@solarisunix:~# 

This is horrible!!! It's becoming a repetitive cycle where a bunch of awesome 
Japanese developers like the lifewithsolaris.jp or jaris.jp guys do a bunch of 
really cool things with OpenSolaris on the desktop that get me really excited 
about OpenSolaris again and I get all ready to give up my Fedora and Ubuntu 
desktop machines to use nothing but OpenSolaris full time (because things like 
Wine, my Canon printer, and VLC Media player are actually working in the 
Japanese versions as opposed to being broken like they are for me right now on 
OpenSolaris Indiana) and right when I'm about to switch over from Linux, 
somebody pulls the plug. 

Sometimes life just isn't fair :-(

Bordeaux is just an installer as is Wine-Tricks or Wine-Doors, they all use
WINE.

FWIW: Spotify works great under WINE (see: http://www.wine-doors.org), I use
it all the time.  Sound quality is excellent.

 As most of the documentation is in Japanese I don't understand what makes
 Midoris any different a Wine distribution than say Crossover or
 Bordeaux...do you happen to have any information?

 OpenSolaris as it is right now is just a mere curiosity for a lot of IT

 The very first question people in small business IT shops ask when I show

 won't without hours of pain and suffering trying to port some unstable Linux
 Wine environment over from Linux to Solaris, that usually ends their
 interest in OpenSolaris and the end result is thousands of dollars in
 potential Solaris support contracts lost forever to Redmond.

 Now if I could walk in to Microsoft IT shops and just give them the live
 CD and tell them to boot it up and tell them that all their Windows apps
 will work seamlessly without them having to install or compile anything, AND
 show them what ZFS does, AND get the live OpenSolaris CD to join the Windows

By the way, not Midoris, but Madoris. Mado means windows in Japanese.

I used Jaris for a while, and tried Madoris, too. I think Madoris Windows
Program Loader is a front-end for Wine. I am not sure the differences,
because I've never used Crossover nor Bordeaux.

Re: [osol-discuss] Killer new feature- Midoris in Jaris!!!

2009-07-24 Thread Matthew Stevenson
Version 1.0.1 is old, and I have had problems running some things with it. 
Specifically, Google Picasa. I do now have Picasa working with version 1.1.7 of 
Wine which I found here in case it helps anyone:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/mpkgopensolaris/files/

I have wanted to get some kind of Picasa/Wine combo package created for 
OpenSolaris in IPS, but I'm just totally out of my depth with it all. If 
someone had the skills though I think it would be a good move though, because 
since OpenSolaris doesn't come with F-Spot or any other photo library software, 
and Picasa works really well, I think it would fill a big gap in a desktop 
user's requirements.

I installed Wine and dosbox from the contrib repository on my 2008.11 box using 
these commands:

  pfexec pkg set-authority -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib contrib

  pfexec pkg install wine

  pfexec pkg install dosbox

but as soon as I run winecfg, I'm getting these errors:

adminu...@solarisunix:~$ winecfg

wine: created the configuration directory '/export/home/adminuser/.wine'

Does anybody know what these errors mean?

I then clicked on a few of the tabs in the winecfg window with my mouse to look 
around and see what was in the tabs and Wine crashed and I got this beautiful

Ok, I figured it out. It seems to be crashing every time I click on the audio 
tab. Wonder what might be causing the problem? I ran this command:

   pfexec scanpci | grep -i audio

and got this output:

   Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller

An Intel Audio controller is pretty normal, run of the mill stuff. I don't 
remember it ever causing panics like this on Linux.

 who worked so hard on OpenSolaris will benefit immensely from this new found
 success.

 What do you guys think? Midoris in the next version of OpenSolaris?

 Yes or No?

[osol-discuss] Killer new feature- Midoris in Jaris!!!

2009-07-22 Thread Anon Y Mous
OK, the last new killer game-changing application in OpenSolaris was time 
slider, which made it's debut in 2008.11, well now Jaris (the Japanese Solaris 
distro) seems to have this new Wine-like tool already set up that makes it VERY 
easy for clueless new users with no previous UNIX experience to use all of 
their already purchased, pre-existing Microsoft Windows software inside 
OpenSolaris. I've added a link below, which I'm hoping points to an English 
translation of the Japanese documentation done by Google:

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=ensl=jau=http://jaris.jp/support-howto2.htmlei=JQ9nSuOfF4_YsgPLxfXnDgsa=Xoi=translate

Is there any chance we can get this Midoris feature included by default in 
one of the upcoming releases of Sun's official OpenSolaris Indiana distribution 
(so we all aren't forced to switch from Indiana to Jaris to get this feature 
pre-installed by default), or is there a licensing issue that prohibits this?

Compiling Wine from source and then trying to get everything patched together 
back in my 2008.05 days was a real pain. I say we take Thunderbird or some 
other app that's eating space off from the upcoming 2010.02 release and put 
Midoris on the live CD-ROM so that I can make a live CD demo of TimeSlider + 
Midoris + CIFS that will impress the heck out of my customers.

OpenSolaris as it is right now is just a mere curiosity for a lot of IT people 
that involves words they don't understand like dtrace and smf. The very 
first question people in small business IT shops ask when I show them 
OpenSolaris is will Photoshop or Microsoft Outlook or Quickbooks or ACT! or 
Crystal Reports or Epicore or Microsoft Word or [insert name of Windows app 
here] run on OpenSolaris? And when I tell them it probably won't without hours 
of pain and suffering trying to port some unstable Linux Wine environment over 
from Linux to Solaris, that usually ends their interest in OpenSolaris and the 
end result is thousands of dollars in potential Solaris support contracts lost 
forever to Redmond.

Now if I could walk in to Microsoft IT shops and just give them the live CD and 
tell them to boot it up and tell them that all their Windows apps will work 
seamlessly without them having to install or compile anything, AND show them 
what ZFS does, AND get the live OpenSolaris CD to join the Windows work group 
and share files over CIFS at the click of the button. If we can do all that, 
then I guarantee you that there will be a massive tectonic shift to OpenSolaris 
almost overnight (I'm talking exponential growth and exponential increase in 
revenues for Sun via support contracts). Millions of people are looking for 
something to switch to instead of Windows Vista, and OpenSolaris could be it! 
Please don't let this opportunity pass us by!

The key to make OpenSolaris successful in small businesses environments is to 
make it inter-operate with CISCO and Microsoft products better than Linux does. 
Make OpenSolaris inter-operate with the already established Microsoft IT base 
of millions of desktop computers hooked up into an Active Directory powered by 
CISCO routers and switches that exists in many businesses today and there is no 
way that Red Hat Linux will be able to complete. OpenSolaris will dominate and 
become the enterprise OS of choice. Computer hardware manufacturers will all 
embrace OpenSolaris because ZFS performs better with more RAM (and the hard 
ware manufacturers are looking for an excuse to up sell the customer to a more 
powerful computer) and Sun and all the people who worked so hard on OpenSolaris 
will benefit immensely from this new found success.

What do you guys think? Midoris in the next version of OpenSolaris?

Yes or No?

Hmm... hey dude, you might want to check out the downloads section on Wine's 
project website (http://winehq.org/) and, lo' and behold, is a link to the 
OpenSolaris package download. I didn't see a development release package, but 
at least there is something to try.

Unfortunately, the winehq has the link broken, it should be:

http://www.sunfreepacks.com/listing/?limit=10offset=20

I can confirm that wine version works for me.

I see wine package in contrib rep: 
http://pkg.opensolaris.org/contrib/info/0/wine%401.0.1%2C5.11-0.101%3A20081209T223210Z
But I have 2 questions:
1) Why is it so big (111 Mb against ~ 10 Mb of Ubuntu deb package)
2) Why does it depend on ent...@0.5.11-0.101? Does it mean that I can't use it 
on /dev branch of OpenSolaris?
