Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
Try this: pkgrm SUNWaudd then a reboot. I tried this, and now the osstest works. But now the volume control applet is turned off and when I click on it, I get an error: No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found. And I cannot play audio via the installed media players. Rodney This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
With me being new to this, something got messed up so I reinstalled the OS. I then installed OSS without the soundcard. When I did the osstest program this is what I got: Sound subsystem and version: OSS 4.0 (b1012/200801051101) (0x00040003) Platform: SunOS/i86pc 5.11 snv_70b *** Scanning sound adapter #-1 *** /dev/oss/ich0/pcm0 (audio engine 0): Nvidia nForce Note! Device is in use (by PID 0/SADA) but will try anyway - Performing audio playback test... /dev/oss/ich0/pcm0: Device busy The device is busy. There is some other application using it. Can't open the device *** Some errors were detected during the tests *** But when I put in an audio CD, it played!!! And I can adjust the volume by clicking on the volume applet and adjusting the slider. The Interrupt Mode is set for APIC in the BIOS. Thanks for your help.

[osol-help] Video Setup Help Needed - BFG w/nVidia 6600GT AGP
I want to know how to configure my computer so that I can take full advantage of the video card and monitor. When I select screen resolution, I get two options: 800X600 and 640X480. My monitor can go as high as 1600X1200/60Hz.

Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
I really would like to just use the audio that is on the MB if all possible. (Same goes for the video, but that is the next step.) This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
audio810 10de,1b0 Someone elsewhere mentioned to do: first remove oss (pkgrm oss) # devfsadm -C # update_drv -a -i 'pci10de,1b0' audio810 in the /etc/driver_aliases file it shows as: audio810 pci10de,1b0 but I did get an error: devfsadm: driver failed to attach: audio810 Warning: Driver (audio810) successfully added to system but failed to attach Now I have installed the OSS4 drivers from opensound.com and I now have sound!!! But I do have a strange situation. I have audio out of the MB only when I have the AudioPCI 3000 (ES1370 Chipset) plugged in. And when I right click on the GNOME volume applet to get the Preferences, only one device is there. Hmm, that is strange. Did you have the card installed when you first put OSS onto the machine? Which device does the volume applet show? Yes I did have the card in when I put OSS onto the machine, and the card is what showed up on the volume applet.

Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
Your are right about the RTL8139 being network, in my state of confussion I thought it was audio. Since I am really new to all of this, I do need help in understanding your question: Have you tried in GNOME to see what the volume applet shows ?

Re: [osol-help] Audio Installation Help Needed
Thank you Andrew for the GNOME volume applet explanation. Now I have installed the OSS4 drivers from opensound.com and I now have sound!!! But I do have a strange situation. I have audio out of the MB only when I have the AudioPCI 3000 (ES1370 Chipset) plugged in. And when I right click on the GNOME volume applet to get the Preferences, only one device is there. When I run the osstest program, it runs thru a test for both audio devices and they pass. When I remove the AudioPCI card and run the osstest program, I get an error that the device is being used and the test fails. Here is the prtconf -pv listing with both audio devices: System Configuration: Sun Microsystems i86pc Memory size: 768 Megabytes System Peripherals (PROM Nodes): Node 0x01 bios-boot-device: '80' stdout: name: 'i86pc' Node 0x02 existing: 00c54000..021f9801. name: 'ramdisk' Node 0x03 bus-type: 'isa' device_type: 'isa' name: 'isa' Node 0x04 device_type: 'pci' reg: .. #size-cells: 0002 #address-cells: 0003 name: 'pci' Node 0x05 assigned-addresses: c210..f800..0400 reg: .....4210...\ .0400 compatible: 'pci10de,1a4.b2' + 'pci10de,1a4' + 'pciclass,06' + 'pciclass,0600' model: 'Host bridge' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: fast-back-to-back: devsel-speed: max-latency: min-grant: unit-address: '0' class-code: 0006 revision-id: 00b2 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01a4 name: 'pci10de,1a4' Node 0x06 reg: 0100.... compatible: 'pci10de,1ac.10de.c11.b2' + 'pci10de,1ac.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1ac.b2' + 'pci10de,1ac' + 'pciclass,05' + 'pciclass,0500' model: 'Ram' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: devsel-speed: max-latency: min-grant: subsystem-vendor-id: 10de subsystem-id: 0c11 unit-address: '0,1' class-code: 0005 revision-id: 00b2 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01ac name: 'pci10de,c11' Node 0x07 reg: 0200.... compatible: 'pci10de,1ad.10de.c11.b2' + 'pci10de,1ad.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1ad.b2' + 'pci10de,1ad' + 'pciclass,05' + 'pciclass,0500' model: 'Ram' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: devsel-speed: max-latency: min-grant: subsystem-vendor-id: 10de subsystem-id: 0c11 unit-address: '0,2' class-code: 0005 revision-id: 00b2 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01ad name: 'pci10de,c11' Node 0x08 reg: 0300.... compatible: 'pci10de,1aa.10de.c11.b2' + 'pci10de,1aa.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1aa.b2' + 'pci10de,1aa' + 'pciclass,05' + 'pciclass,0500' model: 'Ram' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: devsel-speed: max-latency: min-grant: subsystem-vendor-id: 10de subsystem-id: 0c11 unit-address: '0,3' class-code: 0005 revision-id: 00b2 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01aa name: 'pci10de,c11' Node 0x09 reg: 0800.... compatible: 'pci10de,1b2.10de.c11.c3' + 'pci10de,1b2.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1b2.c3' + 'pci10de,1b2' + 'pciclass,060100' + 'pciclass,0601' model: 'ISA bridge' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: fast-back-to-back: devsel-speed: max-latency: min-grant: subsystem-vendor-id: 10de subsystem-id: 0c11 unit-address: '1' class-code: 00060100 revision-id: 00c3 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01b2 name: 'pci10de,c11' Node 0x0a assigned-addresses: 81000910..5000..0010.81000914..5500.\ .0010.81000918..5100..0020 reg: 0900.....01000910...\ .0010.01000914....0010.01000918..000\ 0..0020 compatible: 'pci10de,1b4.10de.c11.c1' + 'pci10de,1b4.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1b4.c1' + 'pci10de,1b4' + 'pciclass,0c0500' + 'pciclass,0c05' model: 'SMBus (System Management Bus)' power-consumption: 0001.0001 66mhz-capable: fast-back-to-back: devsel-speed: interrupts: 0001 max-latency: 0001 min-grant: 0003 subsystem-vendor-id: 10de subsystem-id: 0c11 unit-address: '1,1' class-code: 000c0500 revision-id: 00c1 vendor-id: 10de device-id: 01b4 name: 'pci10de,c11' Node 0x0b assigned-addresses: 82001010..f300..1000 reg: 1000.....02001010...\ .1000 compatible: 'pci10de,1c2.10de.c11.c3' + 'pci10de,1c2.10de.c11' + 'pci10de,c11' + 'pci10de,1c2.c3' + 'pci10de,1c2' + 'pciclass,0c0310' + 'pciclass,0c03' model: 'Universal Serial Bus OHCI compliant'

Re: [osol-help] Installation Help - Solaris Express CE
At the start I see the following under the GNU GRUB: Solaris Express Developer Edition Solaris Express Solaris Express Serial Console ttya Solaris Express Serial Console ttyb (for lx50, v60x and v65x) I select: Solaris Express Developer Edition After a number of dots are display across the top of the screen I get the following: 1. Solaris Interactive (default) 2. Apply driver updates 3. Single user shell So I don't see the desktop console mode that you mentioned, unless you are talking about the Serial Console ttya and ttyb modes...which I tried and things stop after the number of dots are displayed across the screen. I also downloaded another Developer Edition (sol-nv-b70b-x86-dvd) and I was able to install it, but after the first reboot when I rebooted/restarted the computer, it would start to boot then shut down the computer. This also happened before, but I don't recall the details. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
[osol-help] Installation Help - Solaris Express CE
I am new to the Unix/Solaris world. I recently downloaded the Solaris Express CE DVD (sol-nv-b78-x86-dvd.iso). I can install just Solaris Express, but I am having trouble installing the the Solaris Express Developer Edition. After I select language for the keyboard, then Solaris Interactive, I get a small gray window with Window...Edit...Options (I think) across the top. Then it disappears and I just have a blue screen, the mouse stops working and nothing else happens. Any ideas on the problem?
