Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] R and R commander
Folks,
there is a copy of R 2.13.1 32-bit in the OpenCSW repo that works fine on
OI 151a7.
in case you're interested.

R is a language which bears a passing resemblance to the S language
developed at ATT Bell Laboratories. It provides support for a
variety of statistical and graphical analyses. R is a true
computer language which contains a number of control-flow
constructions for iteration and alternation. It allows users to
add additional functionality by defining new functions. On
platforms which support the dlopen (3) interface, Fortran and C
code can be linked and called at run time.
R is very close to S in both syntax and semantics, but is not identical.
Whether this is a bug or feature is an open question.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Scientific Software for OpenIndiana
Excellent idea! Myself, I use the R statistics software, ImageJ and MIPAV, but I'd really like the ease of use of searching for an IPKG package and downloading it... Nowadays I find I mainly look for java apps for the ease of portability. R is available, although old, from CSW.

I am a post-doc researcher in applied and computational math and I am using OpenIndiana on my workstation and personal computing nodes. To the question Why ?, I would reply that it's mainly about having the possibility to setup a RAIDZ on the workstation and then benefiting from better data safety (few horror/corruption stories with ext3...), using snapshots for my data sets and results, as well as the possibility to rollback if a new version of numerical libraries breaks something (or even just an upgrade). Another good point is the good support of Nvidia graphic cards and the fact that something on the system is not breaking after every single upgrade... To this regard OpenIndiana is a very good working environment for a researcher. The main drawback is that it requires lots of manual installations which any researcher/engineer cannot afford. Before considering using optimized libraries, one is mainly concerned about just doing his research work :) As the compilation and upgrade of numerical libraries and application tends to be tedious and as I need to upgrade PETSc and friends, I am taking the time now to package any software I am using at work. I am currently packaging TeXLive, LaTeX Gedit plugin, Scilab, Paraview and linear algebra and PDE solver software which have been using in the past years. I am using pkgbuild and SFE and here is a link to a sandbox where I started pushing spec files I wrote this week: https://bitbucket.org/alarcher/oi-scientific/wiki/Home Related to this, I have then few questions: - - What can be a good way to collaborate on packaging scientific software ? - - Should we provide the packages through the OI SFE repository or a separate one ? Then how ? - - Should we focus on using GCC 4.6.3 provided by SFE ? (I personally don't have the time to handle SUNCC gotchas if any :S) - - Where should the OI Scientific project by hosted ? - - How should we handle dependencies to OI packages ? (for instance Ant from OI is too old for some software I am using). Moreover, if there are enough people interested I would advocate having a system similar to Debian Sciences with few maintainer per package and for each a separate repository with spec files, copyright, patches, etc... (something like Redmine ?). So if you are interested in a joint effort in that direction, I would be glad to hear you suggestions.

You could run: # zdb pool name | grep ashift And see what value you get. If you have 9, the pool is structured for 512 byte sectors and a 4k drive could suffer a performance loss.

And weather SPARC is dead or not, I still have 18 SPARC boxes here in my room. Fully equipped with all existing frame buffers that ever existed (except XVR-200, XVR-300, XVR-1000 and XVR-1200 at this time, because I had sold them). I also have a T1000 now with PCIe x1 to x16 Adapter. Although this box has not even USB and only a single narrow PCEe slot, I could test the XVR-2500 that way. And OBP detects it as boot-console, although the T1000 was never intended to run in a non-headless configuration On SPARC I no longer fiddle with libdevinfo, libpciaccess and Xorg (weather libpciaccess based or old xserver 1.2), but instead I focussed on getting Xsun to function, which Alan Coopersmith has thankfully opensourced 2 years ago in his spare time, just in the first, last and probably only ever moment it was possible (BIG THANKS!). BTW: If you visit Oracle's site, SPARC is still quite well and kicking. http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/servers/sparc-enterprise/t-series/sparc-t4-processor-ds-497205.pdf Or which other vendor can offer a comparable CPU with up to 64 threads running at up to 3.0GHz? Letting alone the low power consumption per cycle. My only problem with Illumos as code-base is, that much stuff belonging to legacy SPARC hardware (which includes all workstations) seems to have been dropped from Illumos.At least that was my first impression a month ago. And for this reason I based my initial version of SPARC-OpenIndiana on Nevada 125 for the first demo release. That way I intend to convince folks, that we should merge in the missing platform specific pieces. But one step after another. After I had promised things in the past, this time I did not want to make _any_ public announcement, until the SPARC-OI demo iso is ready for download. Now that you started such a thread, staying silent was no longer an option. Yeas, there will be SPARC-OI. My personal goal is and always has been, that we can offer a functioning X-Windows. So it shouldn't be a server-only release, limited to serial console/RSC/Alom. And thanks to Alan's openXsun open-sourcing contribution, this dream has *finally* come true. The code can be found at http://dlc.sun.com/osol/x/downloads/openXsun/openXsun.tar.bz2 and is a stripped cut-down version. But meanwhile I added some missing functions to build/link it sucessfully. Plus it even functions now on my test machines (U1/U2/U5/U10/U30/U60/U80/SB100/SB150/SB1000/SB1500R/SB1500S/SB2000/SB2500R/SB2500S/Tadpole SPARCle/T1000). It only took a few days and was a child's game when compared to what is required to modify libdevinfo/libpciaccess/Xorg to get only a small number of frame buffers working, with instabilities, minute-long PCI-scanning delays, crashes and bus errors. openXsun works now with my additions and it is a heaven's gift. Please give me 4 weeks for the preliminary SPARC-OI release. Everything incl. of course the src modifications will be released.

So, just for the anecdotal sake, I wanted to share this weekend's experience about OpenSolaris on SPARC - and how it saved the day. While it may seem unlikely at this moment that new SPARC systems would be rolled out for OI to get installed on them, there are many already-deployed reliable boxes which would run obsolete (or our new) software until they fscking die. I was asked to look at a T2000 with Sol 10u8 which did just that: it died during what could have been fsck - if ZFS had one. Apparently, the system's users did nothing formally invalid, they were just zfs-sending and zfs-receiving some datasets within the pool in order to recompress older data with gzip-9, then they tried to destroy the older dataset tree and rename the compressed copy to take its place. Something went wrong, the pool locked up with no IOs taking place (according to iostat). The zfs commands all hung, however zpool status and friends did not. Filesystem operations also went well, so running zones were properly stopped and the box was ultimately rebooted. It did not come back up. Luckily, there was a Solaris installation server in that network, so it took a few minutes to prepare a LAN installation resource from a stashed SXCE snv_129_sparc image, and boot
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS SMART error
Personally, I would use smartctl. Do a which smartctl to see if you have it installed, otherwise it's in the OI SFE package smartmontools. First get a usage summary using smartctl -h, then you might want to scan for available devices via smartctl --scan. Then pick one and query its info by smartctl -a DEVICE. I'd take up the occasion to run also smartctl -t long DEVICE so it does a complete surface test, some disks do it very fast, others less so. In a couple of hours you should have any and all SMART info about your drives. Hope this helps, do remember that the pci-ide driver does not allow SMART passthrough right now in Solaris.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] PCIEX-8000-KP was Re: Nvidia errors on 151a4
Hi all, The reinstall went smoothly, but upon reinstall, fmd started to complain about problems with the only PCI Express x16 slot (slot 2) that holds the video card. It is littering the error log with reports of problems with the pci fabric and it freezes up shortly thereafter. Before the reinstall, I only had the errors in fmdump -e, the one in fmadm faulty had gone away after removing and cleaning the old dust-filled Quadro. This is a new card in the slot, an Asus Nvidia GTX 550 Ti. I have read up on the error: http://www.illumos.org/msg/PCIEX-8000KP On the Oracle blogs, it says that sometimes it's a fake, reported by fmd because of a bug they suppositely fixed in Sol 10 11/08 (I think). Now, my course of action was to try to disable the fmd modules relating to fabric and io by issuing fmadm disable io-report and fmdadm disable fabric-xlate, but to no avail, it still crashed and they are reloaded on reboot. I then tried to disable the fmd service in SMF. Crashed still. Any clues? I know the card is mounted properly and has enough power through the additional cable that runs from the PSU to the accessory 6 pin plug. Could it be that it's my motherboard that's kicking the can this time?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia errors on 151a4
Actually in my case it is a complete system freeze. No input, frozen video, no ssh, router lights signal no activity. Today I put in a new Asus GTX 550 Ti and the notices have gone away. No crashes either so far, except for one when I tried to run glxgears... will investigate tomorrow. Thank you for all the help!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia errors on 151a4
Hi all, Yesterday I upgraded to 151a4 on my HP xw8200. The machine experienced four freezes that could only be recovered by powering it off and on again. Now, fmadm faulty lists nothing. fmdump lists nothing. fmdump -e mentions issues with ereport.io.pci.fabric and ereport.io.pciex.fabric. These are scattered errors across the whole period I've had OI installed. After the upgrade, I received a warning that the nvidia driver did not support quiesce(), which then went away with the next reboot. What happens when it freezes: I'm working along maybe doing backups and I want to check something online. I open Firefox and the system stops accessing disks, processing data with the cpus and disconnects mouse and keyboard. The video stays frozen on a still image version of my desktop. I have tried setting a hardware watchdog, but it never resets. Upon rebooting, no crash, no dump, nothing. Everything works fine for some time and then happens again out of the blue. It's been happening since I bought the computer. I have changed disks, PSU, checked the fans, swapped the PS2 keyboard and mouse for USB ones... everything reduced this but it never really went away. One major difference with 151a4, when I shut down the machine, my console shows notices from the nvidia driver encountering errors performing dev-map and dev-segmap. This makes me think that the NVidia Quadro Fx 3450 in this machine has reached the end of its days. Guys, I need your advice, because I really can't afford to spend money on it without knowing for sure that it will help. I'd rather find out now that maybe my logci board isn't well and start saving up for another rig... Any help is really appreciated!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Compiling Mosh for OI 151
I'm no professional when it comes to compiling, but I normally set PKG_CONFIG_PATH by hand with export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig (do set your proper paths), as well as LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/lib:/lib. I have also set the system library paths with crle, but it seems that they are often not seen by configure scripts. Are you using the Solaris Studio compiler or gcc? If gcc, is it the one from sfe or the one from openindiana.org? Hope some of this helps, Bryan On May 1, 2012 12:09 AM, Robbie Crash sardonic.smi...@gmail.com wrote: I'm trying to compile Mosh ( http://mosh.mit.edu/ ) for OI, but I'm running into problems with ncurses while running configure.

I know ncurses is installed and that other programs that are dependent on it work, and there are libs in /usr/gnu/lib and /usr/gnu/lib/amd64. However, I cannot get the configure script to recognize this. Running configure --help gets me the following, with regards to ncurses: NCURSES_CPPFLAGS C preprocessor flags for NCURSES headers NCURSES_LDFLAGS linker flags for NCURSES libraries But setting either doesn't fix anything. However, this is the first time I've run into issues with a configure script not working, so this is probably me not actually doing things properly. Specifying my libdir to either /usr/gnu/lib or /usr/gnu/lib/amd64 doesn't help either. Does anyone have any ideas for where to go from here? -- Seconds to the drop, but it seems like hours. http://www.eff.org/ http://www.eff.org/http://creativecommons.org/ ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Newbie Questions - Installing various software
I would be interested in learning how to package correctly too. Would save a lot of time and trouble if I didn't have to compile stuff like the R statistical program. If I recall correctly, you need a particular setup (with SunStudio?) to prepare packages for the IPS repo.

I'm a newbie to OI just like you, but I can answer some (not all) of your questions. Firstly, I wanted to have a later version of Firefox installed, and I did this by downloading 11.0 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/. Is that the best way to upgrade? Is 3.6.12 the most recent in the official repo? Many of the packages (including the Firefox 3.6.12) are from when OpenSolaris was still available. When it was forked to OpenIndiana, the (limited) team of developers focused on packages that were important to have a usable system. Since you found a build of Firefox 11 for Solaris, that means that it's possible to build Firefox 11 for OI, and it hasn't been done because no one has done it (yet). Similarly I wanted a jdk installed. I went to the Oracle download site, but the download for x64 is only 9.25MB. This doesn't seem right to me. How do you install JDK7 on OI? If I recall correctly, to install Java x64 on Solaris you must first install the 32-bit version. The former uses the same libraries (written in Java) and merely swaps out the virtual machine. Does 81MB + 9MB sound about right? In the meantime I installed jdk 1.6 using the command pfexec pkg install jdk. Next, I'd like to install Eclipse. pkg search eclipse isn't showing me anything useful, and I can't find any solaris builds at eclipse.org. Do they not exist, or am I looking in the wrong place? Don't know. Sorry. I would assume you googled eclipse solaris, found this as the first hit, but it isn't what you want (?): http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.7-201106131736/solPlatform.php I come from a Red Hat / Fedora background and I'm very used to installing most software using yum. Is pkg comparable to this? Or is the OI way more to download software individually and install it by hand? It's analogous to what you'd have with Red Hat. You can have several repositories with various policies for including packages (the official one, the Sun Freeware one, the I'm not afraid of software patents one, and random ones you may find throughout the Internet). As with Red Hat, this is the preferred way to get software, as you can update it all with two simple commands: pkg refresh pkg update. As with Red Hat, specific software you want may be missing from the repositories (or have the version of Firefox from when RHEL 5 was originally released). You may be able to find .pkg files (the equivalent of .rpm) to install the software, registering it with the package manager. In some cases, the only alternative is the .tar.gz which may contain a prebuilt binary or even just the source code.
