Hi Wayne,

For those who have been trying to explore a move from Linux to Solaris,
the most frustrating problem (plse note I didn't say one of . . .) is
the inability to make NIC work under Solaris.  Sun's developers seem
determined to exclude ALL of those drivers for NICs that are embedded in
AMD-based motherboards.  (Strangely enough, most OpenSolaris-derivatives,
including NexentaOS and BeleniX, have no problem with those cheap/free but
essentially ubiquitous NICs.)


That's quite a claim to make. I would dearly love to know on what
evidence you base the claim about Sun's engineers. Which devices
in particular are you bitter about?


This week, CompUSA has Netgear FA311 NIC on sale for $4.99 (after rebate).
Listed at the very end of the Solaris HCL, it works flawlessly with
Solaris10u2 and SE44.


This is good to know. I wonder what the shipping charges outside of the
continental USA are, though.

BTW, which driver are you using for this card? That's the sort of info
which will most definitely help others.

do it? What is Belenix doing? What is Schillix using?

Did they port the gnu libc to OpenSolaris? Did they port the BSD libc to opsol?

How can someone distribute an operating system without the c library?

 How does this project align with ZFS and the rest of our storage
 offerings?

NFSv4.1's pNFS feature set can use an OSD target as a data store (as
well as a files base data store and a block based data store).
In fact, one might argue that in the pNFS context a files based
target and an OSD target look very much the same.

In any case, this aligns well with the NFSv4.1 project that I 
recently proposed.

Despite the fact, that somebody else made that mistake/confusion  (and
that it is good that you corrected that error, so I don't need to send
out the other email, where I wanted to correct this).
Does it change anything on the matter itself ??

I guess 90++% of commercial software for Solaris are built either using
SUNWspro's C++ compiler/libs, or maybe JAVA (which, by itself, also
requires /usr/lib/libC* because it is or  contains C++ and is
SUNWspro-built).

So what did you want to express?

I ask the now correct question again, in the name of  Gueven Bay (plus
CSW_Blastwave [which is 9GB big], Belenix, Schillix and marTux) :

How can someone distribute an operating system without the C++ library?

[osol-discuss] Re: New install, trying to bring up X login blanks screen and locks me out

2006-09-08 Thread Jürgen Keil
 I believe I have a working scratch install of S10u2 on my new server
 box, but when I boot it, after relatively few seconds I get a message
 on the screen that X login screen is coming and I should wait for it.
 Then the screen blanks, and I cannot talk to the system through the
 keyboard again.  I don't currently have it on a LAN so I have no
 *other* way to talk to it (but I notice that the default tools
 installed don't include sshd anyway).
 
 During the install, it went into graphics mode fine, and seemed to
 find the name of the video card and be happy with it.

It was using the Xsun X11 server at install time.

When the system is installed to HDD, it defaults to the
Xorg X11 server.

 So, short-term I want to turn off X login and just work through the
 console.  I might be able to type fast enough to do that before the
 login screen comes up, if I knew the commands. 
 It'd be an svcadmin disable something type of command?   For some value
 of something?

Try to boot into single user mode, by editing the boot command
line on the initial grub boot screen;  add a -s option at the
end of the kernel .. multiboot line.

Login with the root password in single user mode, and try to
fix the X11 server setup.

What probably works is switching back from Xorg to the Xsun
server.  This can be done by running the command kdmconfig.
Follow the instructions on the first screen.
You can also change various Xsun settings from within kdmconfig.


Or you have to find out why Xorg fails, and fix the Xorg X11 server
setup. You have to look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log and
/var/dt/Xerrors file for possible errors, and maybe construct a
custom /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in case the Xorg autoconfiguration
has failed.  An initial xorg.conf file template can be constructed
by running /usr/X11/bin/xorgconfig or /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure


 Anybody have any idea what?  I think of XDM as the thing that
 provides X login screens at consoles.  Is there a way to disable it by
 editing files in failsafe mode instead of trying to race with the X
 login screen?
 
 Long-term I guess I want to get X really working, but that can wait
 until I can see my system and install software and so forth.
 
 I'm just starting to review the SMF section in the administrator's
 guide, we'll see if that clues me.
 
 The failsafe environment is really icky.  No command-line editing or
 command recall or filename completion,

Yep, the failsafe miniroot starts a standard /bin/sh bourne shell, so
no command line editing.

I think you can exec a ksh or csh, both should be available in
the failsafe environment.  These shells could be configured to
support command line editing or command recall or filename completion,
but...

 and more doesn't even work;
 it seems to exit at the end of the first screen.  I'm hoping not to spend
 much time there.

A known bug, this was broken the day newboot appeared in Solaris x86.
I filed bug 6342722:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6342722

The fix is quite simple, but noone seems to care...

The exec /dev/console /dev/console 21 in the /sbin/sulogin
script in the miniroot archive needs to be fixed;stdin/stdout/stderr
should all be opened in read/write mode.


I think the source for the /sbin/sulogin shell script isn't part of 
OpenSolaris.

Workaround is to run the following command before trying to use
more in the failsafe environment:

exec 2/dev/console



Of cause $TERM isn't set in the failsafe environment either, so you 
also have to run

TERM=sun
export TERM

to make more (or vi) happy.

OK; thanks.  It seems slightly odd to have two very similar features
(OSD+iSCSI looks functionally like traditional NFS to me), and there
wasn't a mention of this in the original proposal, so it's good to
hear.

For ZFS alignment, I'm curious about ACL handling with OSD and what
happens if Solaris becomes an OSD target rather than initiator, but
perhaps those are things for the eventual project mailing list.

Are you saying, SUNW should not make the other 3 libC* libs
redistributable at all ???


Most bigger (and SUNWpro-compiled) things need at least one of  the four
/usr/lib/libC* libs!
###  And one single missing lib, is _too_ much as you know.  ###

See yourself, for example only in /opt/csw/bin (will be much worse in
/opt/csw/lib) :

# ldd /newroot/opt/csw/bin/*|grep libC  /tmp/libC.ascii
# grep libC /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
 647
# grep libCrun.so /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
 317
# grep libCstd.so /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
 304
# grep libC.so.3 /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
   0
# grep libC.so.5 /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
   0
# grep libC.so /tmp/libC.ascii | wc -l
   0

So csw indeed only depends on libCrun.so and libCstd.so.
Not on libC.so.3 or libC.so.5 .

But having all 4 is certainly the best bet in order to ensure full
compatibility with _arbitrary_ 3rd party apps added by user choice.
However, maybe libCrun.so and libCstd.so could be made redistributable
before libC.so.3 and libC.so.5, and therefore the opening process could
be accellerated?

Thanks for your interest, I think I can give you the answer:

My own distribution marTux_0.2  (sparcv9, [the x86 and x64 version is
working but not yet available for public download]) forces users to
first set up a link and route to the internet.
A dumb script then automatically fetches a public patch, extracts and
automatically installs it to a location, known by marTux's default
environment..
The same procedure after each LiveDVD-boot!!:-(
Router/Internet required to run any useful stuff.

NOTE: The patches are anonymously available to any nastiest persons in
the world, without any kind of authorization!
So where is the legal difference ??

CSW's KDE for example would not run otherwise (It is even gcc-compiled
and does start to boot. However - unfortunately does it depend on many
libs from the CSW stack, that are SUNWspro compiled and then depend on
/usr/lib/libC* (== /opt/SUNWspro/lib/libC*).
Screenshots like those would not be possible without a
downloaded/installed /usr/lib/libCstd.so and /usr/lib/libCrun.so :

http://www.martux.org/Screenshots/sparcv9/00_sb150_onboard_pgx64_kde3.4x.png
http://www.martux.org/Screenshots/sparcv9

(Everything from /opt/csw needed to be completely rebuilt with gcc
otherwise, from scratch.)

Belenix does the same, but not on a LiveCD-boot, but eventually after

Oh, I'm wasting memory here.
It is only a single patch on x86/x64, rather than two separate patches
like on sparc (one for 32bit-sparc, another for sparcv9).

I therefore can replace

cp -R */SUNWlibC*/reloc/usr/lib /tmp/readwrite

with

mv */SUNWlibC*/reloc/usr/lib /tmp/readwrite 

on x64/x86.

I mean, the fact that this script was concepted as a dumb one, does not
mean, it should waste resources unnecessarily.

You know Mr Casper,

My question is still not answered, yet.

Even if the mentioned libraries are Visual Basic libs, this does not matter.
But what matter is the qeustion: How and what exactly the existing 
distributions are distributing -aka giving away, giving to the users- if the 
system libs are not open.

How is it made that these systems of Schillix and Belenix are running if they 
could not get the libs?

What have they - the devs of the distros - done to get the replacement for 
these system dependant libs?
  


  All the necessary system libraries are open. The libraries like 
libCrun, libCstd, libdemangle etc. are
  libraries specific to the C++ runtime environment for binaries 
compiled using SUN Studio compiler.
  These libraries are bundled by default in Solaris Express, but are 
not necessary for the OS to function.

  These are only required by C++ apps compiled using SUN Studio.

  In BeleniX most of the GNU and other free software are compiled using 
gcc. Thus they have a

  dependency on libgcc_s.so which is freely redistributable.


Or are they even distributing libs that no one must not distribute?
  


  No - as above.




(This I want to know in my way to discover what exactly the differences between 
the various OpenSolaris distributions are. I want to know what have been 
replaced and how.
But there is not here not on the web-sites of the distributions documentations 
about it.)

Yes, RTU versus RTD.
However, quite a few external sites _are_ allowed to redistribute SUNW's
patches.

Even including the bins we are discussing about:
http://www.google.com/search?q=119964-07hl=enlr=start=10sa=N
Completely external sites like
http://ftp.us.xemacs.org/ftp/tigerd1/patches/current_signed/
or even
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/ftp.sun.co.uk/patchroot/current_unsigned/119601-06.README
 
.
They all _do_ redistribute those patches (and therefore bins and libs).
Why are they allowed to? Do they have a special agreement? Or is it
something different legally to redistribute a patch?
Or may even be, all those sites are violating SUNW's legal terms? I just
wonder.

FURTHER: Why not just giving _us_ distributors a special agreement, i.e.
that allowed *us*, and only us, to redistribute those libs. Maybe we
could offer special limited 3rd-party-redistributable versions of our
distros (without those files, our current releases), as well as
un-redistributable flavours that have the files on DVD, but cannot
legally be redistributed by external 3rd parties.

I mean: Our own distributions (at least your Belenix - and mine) can
only be downloaded currently from a SUNW-funded site (if I understood
that correctly, genunix is a SUNW paid site, but not sure) . That means,
they actually are not even offered externally:

http://www.genunix.org/distributions/belenix_site/belenix_home.html
http://www.genunix.org/distributions//martux/marTux_0.2/
(http://www.martux.org only contains the links, not the content)

Where is the problem?

I do not understand these lawyers .
Okay, everyone in the free world is required to do what they say (which
is good to a certain extent).
But not necessarily the full 100% of their decisions are always 100.00%
correct?

I don't know.

Anyways:
SUNW is finally working on it,
and our download-workaround works better-than-nothing.

I will stop making noise now.
And wait y.another month.


Thanks to everyone from SUNW and elsewhere, who has offered to help:-)

These three paths are searched by ld(1) by default, so unless you're playing
some games where you need to search these directories before /usr/local|ucblib
(perhaps multiple libraries of the same name exist?), then setting these paths
seems redundant.  Plus, the ucblib is old ucb compatibility libraries, do you
really need to link against anything in this path?

Set LD_OPTIONS=-Dfiles and you'll discover every file that is brought in to
the link-edit.  You can use this to verify whether the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
components are really necessary.

I'd have thought things could be simpler by adding:

-L usr/local/mysql/lib -L /usr/local/lib

to the link-edit command line (LDFLAGS?).

And don't forget, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is recognized by the runtime linker (ld.so.1)
too.  Thus you are forcing all commands executed within this environment to
search for their runtime dependencies in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH directories.

There again, perhaps you need the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to execute commands as

[osol-discuss] Super-Smack on Solaris 10 SPARC

2006-09-08 Thread Frank Mash
Hello all,

I was so happy earlier to finally get Sysbench to compile (thanks to all the 
brains here).

Unfortunately as much as I wanted to solve my next compilation issue myself,  I 
can't. Both me and my SA have been working on this but we cannot get a grip on 
this.

The issue involves compiling super-smack-1.3 on Solaris 10. configure runs fine 
but make produces the following output

##

I cannot figure out why it will be complaining for contract id (ctdid) header 
not present in /usr/include/sys/siginfo.

Once again this is probably something really trivial and 101 but I can really 
use some input.

Thanks in advance,

This looks like the usual gcc fixincludes issue.  If you upgrade the
system, you have to rerun the gcc fixincludes script, because gcc
keeps squirreled-away copies of the system header files (!).

It's not complaining about the header not beeing there but ctid_t not

Try to add 

#include libcontract.h

Before the #include iostream and try again the compile.

  libcontract.h isn't necessary, appropriate, or helpful here; ctid_t

  It sounds like your compiler is using corrupt or out-of-date header

Note that there was a plan to have star in Solaris 10 and the related PSARC
has been approved long time ago and we need to get ready before the feature
freeze for Solaris 11 hits.

The first step would be to interate the software from the star package into
OpenSolaris, to replace /etc/rmt with the version from star and to convert
fsdump/ufsrestore to use star's librmt.

This needs to be done before the feature freeze hits.

The second step would be to replace /usr/bin/tar by star, but this may be done
in a more relaxed way

2006-09-08 Thread W. Wayne Liauh
  For those who have been trying to explore a move
 from Linux to Solaris,
  the most frustrating problem (plse note I didn't
 say one of . . .) is
  the inability to make NIC work under Solaris.
  Sun's developers seem
 determined to exclude ALL of those drivers for NICs
  that are embedded in
 AMD-based motherboards.  (Strangely enough, most
  OpenSolaris-derivatives,
 including NexentaOS and BeleniX, have no problem
  with those cheap/free but
  essentially ubiquitous NICs.)
 That's quite a claim to make. I would dearly love to
 know on what
 evidence you base the claim about Sun's engineers.
 Which devices
 in particular are you bitter about?
 
  This week, CompUSA has Netgear FA311 NIC on sale
 for $4.99 (after rebate).
  Listed at the very end of the Solaris HCL, it works
 flawlessly with
  Solaris10u2 and SE44.
 
 This is good to know. I wonder what the shipping
 charges outside of the
 continental USA are, though.
 
 BTW, which driver are you using for this card? That's
 the sort of info
 which will most definitely help others.

We run an OpenSuSE/OpenSolaris/OpenOffice study group here in Honolulu and have 
a dozen or so all sorts of AMD-based PCs in our lab.  To the best of my memory, 
all our Athlon64-based motherboards come with on-board gigabit Marvell NICs.  
Solaris HCL does show quite a number of on-board Marvell Yukon drivers, but all 
but one are 32-bit.  Unless luck strikes, which never happened to any of our 
Athlon64 PCs, Solaris means an extra effort to buy and install an external NIC.

All things considered, we feel that both Solaris10u2 (JDS 3) and Solaris 
Express (Gnome 2.14) provide a desktop environment that appear to be best 
suited as the Microsoft Windows replacement for businesses including courts 
and other government offices.  However, intentionally or not, failure to 
provide drivers for perhaps some of the most prevalent NICs makes it difficult 
to bring up this subject.

Yes.  A -L path tells ld(1) where to look for dependencies.
A -R path, records a path in the built object, telling ld.so.1(1)
where to look for the dependency at runtime.

Note: you should avoid telling ld(1) to look in directories it
doesn't need to, just as you should avoid recording runpaths
in objects that aren't needed.

Sometimes the -L and -R path are the same.

But, for build environments like OSNet, they can be different:

compilation environment:

-L $(ROOTLIBDIR)/fm

runtime environment:

% elfdump -d /usr/lib/fm/fmd/fmd | grep RPATH
  [14]  RPATH0x30c3   /usr/lib/fm

options, and how hard they are.


You can upgrade from Solaris 10 to the community edition (which
is based off of the Solaris Nevada code)


Also, what's the process for finding and applying periodic security
and other important updates to the OS and the layered products or
whatever the term used here is?  Is it the same for s10 and sce
(presumably with a different web site as the repository!).  In
particular, is what's documented in the sysadmin manuals right for
both, or just for s10?  (I haven't read that part yet, hence the
vagueness.)


The Community Edition does not supply patches. You get security
fixes by using bfu or by upgrading.  For Solaris 10, there is
normally a security cluster  you can find out about new security
issues by signing up for SunAlerts.

As you're getting started with installs/upgrades/etc, you may
want to bounce over to install-discuss :)

have fun!

[osol-discuss] Re: Netgear FA311 NIC @ CompUSA

2006-09-08 Thread David Comay
Have you considered requesting such support via 
http://www.opensolaris.org/bug/report.jspa

Having such requests for enhancements let the community know about the missing 
functionality and provides a way to track its progress (at the moment, modulo 
any issues with bugs.opensolaris.org!)

Please provide as many details as you can provide including the know chipsets, 
PCI ids, etc.

For those who have been trying to explore a move

from Linux to Solaris,

the most frustrating problem (plse note I didn't

say one of . . .) is

the inability to make NIC work under Solaris.

Sun's developers seem determined to exclude ALL of those drivers for NICs
 that are embedded in AMD-based motherboards.  (Strangely enough, most 
OpenSolaris-derivatives, including NexentaOS and BeleniX, have no problem
 with those cheap/free but essentially ubiquitous NICs.)

claim to make. I would dearly love to know on what evidence you base the
claim about Sun's engineers. Which devices in particular are you bitter
about?

...
BTW, which driver are you using for this card? That's the sort of info 
which will most definitely help others.

We run an OpenSuSE/OpenSolaris/OpenOffice study group here in Honolulu and
have a dozen or so all sorts of AMD-based PCs in our lab.  To the best of
my memory, all our Athlon64-based motherboards come with on-board gigabit
Marvell NICs.  Solaris HCL does show quite a number of on-board Marvell
Yukon drivers, but all but one are 32-bit.  Unless luck strikes, which
never happened to any of our Athlon64 PCs, Solaris means an extra effort to
buy and install an external NIC.


Did you check the SysKonnect website? They're the company
that actually provides the drivers (SK*) which are presently
integrated with Solaris.

While I was checking their site I got this link

http://www.syskonnect.de/e_en/support/driver_searchresults.html?navanchor=term=bs.SUN_Solaris+produkt.SK-9843V2.0produkt=produkt.SK-9843V2.0typ=system=bs.SUN_Solaris

which does have a link to the 64bit x64 driver skge

I use this driver myself, with a Gigabyte K8NS-Pro motherboard.
It really was not hard to find.



All things considered, we feel that both Solaris10u2 (JDS 3) and Solaris
Express (Gnome 2.14) provide a desktop environment that appear to be best
suited as the Microsoft Windows replacement for businesses including
courts and other government offices.  However, intentionally or not,
failure to provide drivers for perhaps some of the most prevalent NICs
makes it difficult to bring up this subject.


That's a bit of a back down from your previous assertion of
malice on the part of Sun's engineers.

If you're going to make claims like you did earlier, provide the
evidence to back it up or don't make the assertion.

Start with running mkheaders which will be in your path somewhere like 
path-to-base-gcc-install/lib/gcc/platform-os/install-tools/ or 
path-to-base-gcc-install/libexec/gcc/platform-os/install-tools/  
depending on how your gcc was built.  This should fix your problem with 
ctid_t


Tony Bourke integrated the changes outlined by Dan Price above into the 
super-smack-1.3 release.  I can't remember for certain, but it seems 
like there may have still been a problem with yacc that I had to comment 
a couple of lines from.  I was building on a T2000, though.

Read my original title, I did not back down from nothing!  If you are 
interested in escalating the fight, I don't have any interest nor the time to 
entertain you.
