You seem to be having an Intel Pro/Wireless card. I'll send this separately to you as attachment text files too. For more on Network Config and Wireless see the BeleniX FAQ: http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ Ack. I'll visit there. Apparently, there are certain configuration with wireless networks in our office. I'll investigate this separately and write in with my findings. Okay thanks. You may want to refer to the following page for setting up your wireless connection: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/wificonfig/ There are a few things that you can try out. For eg. after creating a non-root user (see Adding and Deleting Users in the BeleniX FAQ) login as that user and execute startxfce or startkde. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ#Adding_and_Deleting_users Here's what I did after booting off the CD-ROM: 1. start in command prompt only mode. 2. /usr/sbin/useradd sriram 3. create the home directory for the user sriram at /home/sriram startkde and startxfce both give me the following error messages: /usr/bin/startxfce: /dev/msglog: cannot create /usr/bin/startkde: /dev/msglog: cannot create Oh. Small issue, fixable easily. I will fix this in the next release. Essentially /dev/msglog should be replaced by /dev/console in both those scripts. Use Kdevelop to create and build C/C++ projects. I'll try this separately. In fact, I'll try all of the KDE apps and send you a testing report :) Thanks! Check whether audio is working: Execute ls -l /dev/audio - If you see a symbolic link to sound/0 then the audio device was recognized. Get into KDE, start SuperTux and check whether you are getting the music. SuperTux works just fine. Juk was able to play an mp3, but Amarok went silent and wouldn't play anything at all. Hmm. MP3 support should be disabled in all media players! I will fix Juk :-| Amarok should play OGG, wav and MOD files. I will put up the MP3 and other codecs bundle for separate download from Sarovar.ORG. This is all due to mindless licensing and patent crap. Rrgards, Moinak. Also as Pavan mentioned getting the hardware profile will help. I've got a lot of hardware information, I'll send these to you via mail. -- Sriram ___ ug-bosug mailing list List-Unsubscribe: mailto:ug-bosug-unsubscribe at opensolaris.org List-Owner: mailto:ug-bosug-owner at opensolaris.org List-Archives: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumIDT

For more on Network Config and Wireless see the BeleniX FAQ: http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Belenix_FAQ Next, I'm going to read the documentation and install Belenix 0.4.2 on to a primary partition on my laptop. I'll write in with more information at that time. Please write in (especially the Belenix team) about investigations that you'd like me to conduct on the laptop, and I'll help out as possible.
