Re: [osol-help] Problem downloading VirtualBox from extra repository
Hi Andrew, A colleague of mine had similar problems installing Sun Studio 12, and tweaked the PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT value. This worked for him, and after doing the same, I could install Virtualbox as well: # export PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300 # pkg install virtualbox DOWNLOAD PKGS FILESXFER (MB) Completed 2/2 324/32474.0/74.0 PHASEACTIONS Install Phase401/401 PHASE ITEMS Reading Existing Index 8/8 Indexing Packages2/2 I suggest you also give that a try :) Kind regards, Patrick. andrew wrote: div id=jive-html-wrapper-div Hi Andrew,br br I'm getting the same, so I doubt it's your specific system that is the cause. I tried using Package Manager as well as command line.br OK, so the problem looks like it is with the repository itself. Unfortunately there is no contact email address or telephone number on the extra repository registration page so I've no idea who to contact about this problem. Hm. I'll cross-post to indiana-discuss in case someone there knows what to do. Cheers Andrew. Oops - forgot to include the original problem in my CC. Basically downloading VirtualBox from the extra repository fails - it gets to about 57MB then jumps back to 51MB, continues to 57MB then jumps back. It does this a few times then fails complaining about a network error. A second person has posted to opensolaris-help to say they are having the same problem, so it looks like it could be a problem with the file in the repository itself.

Re: [osol-help] OpenSolaris 2009.06 stalls always after some 5 minutes
I gave OpenSolaris 2009.06 a shot, on an old HP nx6320. I am running it daily on an equally old HP NX6310 (I *think* yours has got Core 2 Duo CPU, whereas mine is the older Core Duo ; 'isainfo -k' will confirm this). Already during the install, it slows down considerably, and got stuck completely. The third effort succeeded finally. Check if the disk controller is configured to run in SATA mode. Now, after reboot, the system is normal, if not snappy, for a few minutes, then the mouse starts to react slow, that is, it jumps as if it would read the position data once per second, and after a few more minutes it freezes completely: no more keyboard, no more mouse, and it doesn't answer to ping-s any more. Sounds like some interrupt flood to me. Try disabling bits that do not work on OpenSolaris, like the BlueTooth. Never had anything similar on this laptop under OpenSolaris yet. On an older PIII box under Nevada snv-117 or thereabouts I have the top-left-corner jumping cursor, which is very annoying (but then I have the same on a different NetBSD machine under Xorg 1.6.1, so my take is this is an upstream problem), so at the end I disabled cde-login and gdm and am using it solely as a server. Hard reboot, and the same starts all over. Since it is a fresh install from the original CD, I guess, there is a serious problem. The same notebook runs XP and Ubuntu very well; memory test goes through for 24 hours. I have tried an update, which resulted in an 'opensolaris-1' grub entry, and it behaves likewise. It has 4 GB of RAM. 2GB on mine... Just after boot, 31% thereof are consumes for programs, 0% for cache, by the desktop alone. Is that normal? On the machine I am presently on (2GB memory, dual Opteron 246), after 20 days uptime (rebooted only because an image-update) I have 45% memory use (Firefox 3.51 being the greatest hog with about 10 tabs open). ZFS is usually taking most of the rest for ARC as far as I can gather. I've got set zfs:zfs_arc_max=831155200 in my /etc/system to limit it's use a little.

[osol-help] ZFS CIFS problem with Ubuntu, NFS as an alternative?
Hello, I got a very strange problem here, tried out many things, can't solve it. I run a virtual machine via VirtualBox 2.2.4, with Ubuntu 9.04. OpenSolaris as the host is 2009-06, with snv118. Now I try to mount (via CIFS) a share in Ubuntu from OpenSolaris. Mounting is successful, I can see all files, also change directories. But I can't read the files! Whenever I try to copy a file, I get a Permission denied from Ubuntu. But when I mount the same share in Windows XP, I can read the files also. So might be an Ubuntu issue, anyone also experienced this? Any logs I can check/configure to find out more? Here the permissions for the directory (tmns is the user I use for mounting): dr-xr-xr-x+ 31 chrisstaff588 Aug 4 23:57 video user:tmns:r-x---a-R-c---:fd-:allow user:chris:rwxpdDaARWcCos:fd-:allow (The x shouldn't be necessary, but XP seems not able to list subdirectories without it...) So I thought about using NFS instead, which should be better for an Unix - Unix connection anyway. But here I face another issue, which might be because of missing knowledge about NFS... I share the video directory above with the ZFS sharenfs command, options are anon=0,ro. Without anon=0 I always get a Permission denied when I want to mount the share via NFS on Ubuntu (mounting with root user). But with anon=0 I can only read the files on the Ubuntu side with root, the mounted directory had numerical ids for owner and group on the Ubuntu side. Any clue how I can solve this? Many thanks for your help, I'm not sure how to progress on this... Cheers, Chris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Multiple Hard disk problem
Well it looks like you're just about there. If you have valid vtoc on the device then you should be able to use it. Not sure why you can't see it in the gui. Maybe you need to log out and back in again? Or try a devfsadm -v but if you can see it in format that is probably not necessary.

Re: [osol-help] ZFS CIFS problem with Ubuntu, NFS as an alternative?
Little update... I can read files (within the share) with the following ACL: -r--r--r--+ 1 chrisstaff 35 Aug 5 13:18 .txt user:tmns:r-x---a-R-c---:--I:allow user:chris:rwxpdDaARWc--s:--I:allow everyone@:r-a-R-c--s:---:allow (Line with everyone@ is added compared to the first posting.) I thought the ZFS CIFS server would map the user used for mouting (tmns) to the local user tmns, and I wouldn't need the everyone line... Anything wrong with my thought? Thanks for your help.

It has 4 GB of RAM. Just after boot, 31% thereof are consumes for programs, 0% for cache, by the desktop alone. Is that normal? Where are these percentages coming from? mdb -k ::memstat command? My 8GB box shows 0% (12MB) for Exec and libs, and 85% Free, and the rest is used by the kernel. (Just after a boot) Could this be a memory leak in some user land program?

[osol-help] datalink-management:default failing after new SNV 101b install

Re: [osol-help] crash after ndis, how to restore it?
I just remembered something. There is a -r option that you can pass to the unix kernel through grub at boot time. I think one of my manuals said something like: Option -r reconfigures the /dev and /devices directories by probing all the attached hardware devices. You'll need to use this when you add new devices to a system or if you change the configuration of a hardware device. The kernel will rebuild the /dev and /devices directory with the names and references required to use the devices. So try booting with a -rv option in grub and tell me if it works. I'm not an expert by any means but trying to tell the kernel at boot time to reconfigure the device tree like this might do the trick. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

[osol-help] Building a ZFS vault, anyone with similar specs?
I'm looking to build a ZFS storage box, and like most people who do this, I've dubbed it The Vault. The specs are below: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ZBDV8TJO http://rapidshare.com/files/264238634/The_Vault.pdf http://mukiex.dnsdojo.net/The_Vault.pdf (my home linux box, be gentle!) To summarize, it's an Intel Atom 330, 2GB RAM, a Sata card based on the SIL3124 chipset, two Compact Flash adapters (with 2 4GB cards), and 4 1.5 TB hard drives. As you can probably guess, the plan is to install OpenSolaris as a ZFS mirror onto the CF cards (using a temporary optical drive I'll remove after installation) and import the 4 drives (taking up each case slot, including the 5.25 one) as a RAIDZ. So the questions are as follows, if anyone has made a similar contraption: - Will the PCI SATA card cut it? The chipset looks compatible AFAICT. - For that matter, will the motherboard SATA work? Important for the ZFS boot install. - Is this enough power? I know an ATOM with 2 gigs is pretty darn low, but keep in mind that I have no plans to EVER connect this box to a monitor after install. It's SSH all the way. All I plan to do with it is make it a fileserver and POSSIBLY a print server. Realistically, once I can scrounge up the cash to create The Monster (that 20-slot hotplug case on Newegg looks plenty sexy), it'll become a portable NAS, so it's not exactly murdering itself on running programs. Any help or advice on this setup would be greatly appreciated. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

There are also accelerated 3D drivers for Intel graphics, thanks to Intels work to help port their accelerated open source drivers to OpenSolaris, and they will also give better performance for now than any ATI card could. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersm...@sun.com Sun Microsystems, Inc. - X Window System Engineering ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
