Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Closed-Source Binary Blobs?
Hi. There are closed binary blobs in OI, including ones which were never open sourced (coming from on-closed-bins, like mpt driver or pax tool; coming from other sources - nvidia binary driver or libmtsk.so and other Sun Studio libraries and binaries) and some, for which code was once opened, but now is lost (for example, now I'm working on replacing such DDU binaries with rewritten ones). I don't know a sane way to install OI without such blobs.

Dear OpenIndiana Mailing List, Would someone be able to confirm whether OpenIndiana is free of closed-source binary blobs? Or if not by default, if its possible to set it up some how such that the resulting install is?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Closed-Source Binary Blobs?
The nVidia driver is not open source, though you don't have to use it. However, it is so much better than the open source driver it's crazy not to use it. I did a 2019.04 install 2 weeks ago for a friend because I could not get the nVidia driver to install on Debian 9.3. It was the default driver for the nVidia card in the Hipster install. Worked a treat. Anyone who claims that a disassembler output is source code has not worked with a disassembler enough to appreciate the difference.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox and guest additions
In regard to: Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] VirtualBox and guest additions, L: So as I read this, I recalled installing GA using pkgadd. So I looked in my VM and I find a /usr/sbin/pkgadd command. OI has support for the older Solaris packages, but the newer IPS-style packages are preferred. You installed the guest additions from Oracle, which are packaged in the older format. Until about the last 3 months, those were the only guest additions available for OI. Thanks to Michal, Alexander, and probably others, OI now has a package in IPS format for the guest additions, installable directly from the openindiana.org repo. If you decide to switch to the OI package for system/virtualbox/virtualbox-additions , be sure you uninstall the SVR4 format guest additions package first.

There's no such thing as closed source binary blobs, see: Ghidra. Everything is opensource technically (whether it is opensource in the legal sense is a different kettle of fish).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] time:dgram and/or in.timed
okay, in case anyone else (ever) is wanting to do this: I've managed to crib an in.timed together from old source code: https://github.com/trentm/illumos-joyent/blob/master/usr/src/cmd/cmd-inet/usr.lib/in.timed/in.timed.c ( grabbed in.timed.c inetsvc.hlibuutil.h time.xml from the same server, although I'm sure there are better places ) linked /usr/lib/libinetsvc.so.1 to /usr/lib/libinetsvc.so, same with libuutil. compiled, and copied to /usr/lib/inetd, imported time.xml and then enabled.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] time:dgram and/or in.timed
Hi Everyone, for reasons known only to ourselves, we keep an eye on our internal servers to make sure the date and time are correct (routed to a nagios server) and have been using the time:dgram protocol to quickly get and check the date and time on the remote internal systems. we've recently installed a new hipster server, and we're having trouble getting this to work at all. has anyone had any success? can anyone give me some pointers, or some code that I can use to get the service working? thanks Jon ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
