Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Migrate from linux to openindiana

Tried a couple of days to migrate from linux to openindiana. Today i use ubuntu with zfs, i am very impressed with zfs. OI with napp-it was a great experience. But i would like to use my server for more tasks. I would like it to serve as tftp server so i can pxeboot my other clients with clonezilla. I would like mysql-server for xbmc-database, use it as a dns-server with a local domain http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/doc.html dnsmasq may meet your needs for two of those. It provides a local, forwarding DNS server, and can be setup to answer TFTP/BOOTP/DHCP requests as well. I've had luck building it on OpenIndiana before. The source distribution has a SMF manifest in the contrib/Solaris10 directory. Hope that helps, Nathan It is in many ways very different from linux which i have used many years, and hard to set up, since it lacks documentation. I did succeed with mysql and dns-server. I didn't with the tftp-server. So i tried to install kvm to install a linux tftp server. But during the kvm install OI frooze and pkg index was ruined. Before i try again, maybee tomorrow, i wonder if anyone has any good ideas. The best solution would be to skip kvm, but i really need a working tftp-server functioning to serve clonezilla.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Gnome and the future

Gnome 2 is no longer changing, and no longer being patched ... We don't have time or resources to support a Gnome 2 desktop system development fork (at least I don't and I don't believe OI devs do either) and in fact most Illumos OS's don't include a graphical environment at all. Linux Mint (I believe) are actually looking to go to Gnome 3, but with a customised theme, they cannot afford to ignore GTK3, and sticking with GTK2 means that new projects will not work for them. Linux Mint's Gnome theme does not look like Gnome 2 ... Of course some (or even all) of my ramblings could be wrong. Jon Mate is a fork of Gnome 2 that already has a community behind it. Mint features Mate as a key desktop choice. http://mate-desktop.org/ Perhaps that is what is being sought?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Boot stalls on install
From: dbent...@nas.edu To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2012 22:02:05 -0400 Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Boot stalls on install Hello all... I'm trying to boot from DVD to install Opeindiana on a Gigabyte H55M-S2V and Im having issues. As soon as I get past the grub screen and select boot from cd I get the oracle trademark message and everything freezes up. My keyboars (regualr ps2 connection) becomes unusable and I have to hard boot. It's an Intell H55 express chipset and the memory is seated fiine and I've switched out sticks to ensure I don't have a RAM issue. FreeBSD seems to boot up fine so I know hardware doesn't seem to be an issue. I'd rather use Openindiana if I can help it instead of FreeBSD. Has asyone tried installing on this chipset before? I'm not using that chipset, but as the next step, you could try booting with more logging on. Clear out the graphics parts from grub and add the kernel options as below. 'e' allows you to edit a line. You'll want the section to look similar to below (hoping my VBox setup is similar enough): kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/$ISADIR/unix -s -v -k module$ /platform/i86pc/$ISADIR/boot_archive then hit 'b' to boot from the modified entries. -s means single user mode; -v means verbose, and -k means kernel debugger land if something does bomb. Hopefully that may point to a driver that may be having issues or otherwise narrow down what is going on.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mountpoint tiering with priorities
Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2012 14:11:38 +0400 From: jimkli...@cos.ru To: openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Subject: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Mountpoint tiering with priorities On a dual-boot box I can mount another OS's partition with FUSE and moderate performance. I can also boot that other OS in a VM and share it over a networking protocol and can have better performance (and it is unsafe to access the partition directly when the guest OS is booted anyway). So, I wonder if it is possible to set up (automounter?) to mount the network share from the VM if available, alternately mount the partition over FUSE, into the same mountpoint on the host OS (OI). Thanks, //Jim Based on man automount, you are wanting a kind of replicated filesystem, but I don't see a way to specify more than one set of options for a given mountpoint. In that part of the options is the filesystem type, the most direct answer would be to try the following in your /etc/auto_master # key/location mount options filesystem /shared-vm -t nfs3 vm:/export/shared /shared-fuse -t fuse :/export/fuse If you can share the filesystem under the same protocol from both methods, then you can put it on one line (like a replicated filesystem according to the man page: # key/location mount options filesystem /shared-vm -t nfs3 vm:/export/shared :/export/fuse Hope that helps, Nathan ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

[OpenIndiana-discuss] ldap client config not persistent after reboot
As a wild guess, temporary disabled may mean that some services prerequisite to ldap did not start well. Try to research dependencies (svcs -d/-D) or enable recursively (svcadm enable -r). What you're doing seems like it should work. nsswitch confuses me... do you have NWAM enabled? try to get it reconfigured, or disable it and use the physical:default service to configure networking from files as was documented eons ago. after configuring a fixed ip address, it works. NWAM is trying to be helpful and looking in its configuration to see if LDAP is enabled. If it finds LDAP enabled, it starts the ldap/client service. If not, it leaves it disabled each boot. NWAM also updates nsswitch.conf according to the location that has been defined, so that it overwrites that file with each boot also. To get LDAP to be persistent across reboots at home I had to setup a 'location' to tell NWAM when to use LDAP. I defined a new file, which is a mix of LDAP and DNS, to be used for nsswitch.conf. The ldap-nameservice-servers has to be filled in, but the value isn't used. nathan@asgard:~$ nwamcfg list loc home loc:home activation-mode conditional-any conditions advertised-domain contains 2wire enabled false nameservices dns,ldap nameservices-config-file /etc/nsswitch.home dns-nameservice-configsrc dhcp ldap-nameservice-configsrc manual ldap-nameservice-servers X.dyndns-home.com default-domain gateway.2wire.net nfsv4-domain gateway.2wire.net nathan@asgard:~$ *NOTE* that you have to configure LDAP through the command line interface--the GUI for NWAM has a bug where it passes invalid parameters to NWAM. Since I think it is a simple validation bug, I've been meaning to try and find it to submit a patch...but haven't quite yet.
