[osol-discuss] b121 hangs during boot on my laptop

2009-08-30 Thread Georg-W. Koltermann
Hi, I just tried upgrading to b121 from 2009.06. Unfortunately the new kernel does not want to boot. Trying to boot with -kv I see it is hanging very early, right after printing initialized model-specific module 'cpu_m.GenuineIntel' on chip 0 core 0 strand 0 It's not a hard lockup

[osol-discuss] which merge tool for Hg on OpenSolaris?

2009-06-22 Thread Georg-W. Koltermann
Hi, which merge tool are people liking on OpenSolaris? I read about TeamWare filemerge, but it appears that could be SUN proprietary product, at least I'm not finding it on my box. I used to like kdiff3 on Linux, but KDE isn't here on OpenSolaris. -- Regards, Georg. -- This message posted

Is it working with the native video mode for you? I'm only getting nVidia Corporation unknown chipset (0x065a) rev 161. Using Osol 08.11 over here. It does work in Vesa mode, but that's not quite what I was after... -- Regards, Georg. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Actually, most of the good things for laptops are now in Solaris Express. WiFi support out of the box for Intel chipsets, better video support, etc. Yes, and that's what I'm after. Are there plans to backport these into a Solaris 10 update? 'cause Solaris 10 is supported by Rational, and

[osol-discuss] Solaris 11 release timing (or should I run Solaris 10 on a laptop?)

2007-11-21 Thread Georg-W. Koltermann
Hi, does anyone have a rough idea when one could expect a formal release of Solaris 11? Sorry for the question; I was just wondering when I could expect Rational to fix their ClearCase product to run on OpenSolaris. Most likely that would be when OpenSolaris becomes a formal Solaris 11

Hmm, after my initial bliss settled for a second I come to realize you said it requires JDK 1.6 as every Europa distribution does. I can't remember that Europa requires JDK 1.6. Eclipse itself requires JDK 1.5 per the README, and I haven't seen any additional requirements for any plugin. Are

[osol-discuss] new installer - less features

2007-10-23 Thread Georg-W. Koltermann
Hi, I installed the fall SXDE lately, curious about the new and much improved installer. I learned that it does look nicer, but actually gives me much less control. There is no knob to tweak for the filesystem layout, all you can do is specify the partition size!! There goes my long

I'm using Ubuntu Feisty (x86_64). I didn't use particular partition tools, just Linux fdisk and Solaris fdisk. FYI the hardware is a Dell M65 laptop. It turned out Solaris seems to reset the MBR and probably installs Grub into its own partition which is nice. Linux distros like to install

Hi, I am installing OpenSolaris right now on some free space on a disk that contains Linux. Much to my surprise the partition tool warned me that installing on the same disk as Linux was not supported. Could someone explain? Should I fear it actually does not work, or is it just you don't want
