Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Has anyone used the GeForce GT 710 video card with OI?

 Gary,
Not natively. Need to add PCI ID to driver.

The Nvidia GT 730 is natively supported.

I can't tell if it's supported with the current version of the nv
driver.  I'm looking for a low-cost video card that works with OI.
Is this one a good choice?

No. Intel Wireless AC 9560 drivers not provided at this time for OI.
There are ethernet-to-wifi solutions and legacy Wifi drivers/hardware you can

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia 440.x video driver support proposal

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Hi,
One of the goals discussed a few years ago was to support many of the legacy 
Nvidia cards within a 10-15 year coverage. 

I'm proposing the latest driver, Nvidia 440.31, as it works with recent Nvidia 
600-series through RTX graphic cards (also Quadro 400 through Quadro RTX 8000).
This video driver release provides nine years of recent graphics 
hardware-acceleration coverage for OI.

 How does one fire up the VESA driver?

Would ATI/AMD contribute to provide some kind of drivers if asked?

There are two drivers for AMD (that I am aware of) MESA and AMD GPU PRO. 
The latter is needed for video production on Linux. MESA is not enough, 
and may be okay for gaming, but not video production. I have not managed 
to get AMD GPU PRO to work even though there are instructions on the AMD 
site. It is buggy and difficult. People on forums have tried to work 
through solutions but the consensus is that AMD needs to get their act 
together.

That said, perhaps there may be more luck (down the road) with AMD GPU 
PRO than MESA?

It was never merged into the main OpenSolaris repositories, it was only
ever available as a separate project.  (The wording on Wikipedia is a
bit confusing there - perhaps it should say "which re-integrated the
relevant parts from Solaris 2.5.1 into their OpenSolaris project" and
add a note that it was abandoned before completion.)

Hi.
I use 5.1.24 from official binaries. So far it works fine. It should 
work out of the box on OI newer than end of August. I suppose, the 
latest from 5.1 series will also work fine. The only issue we've found 
so far is absence of VirtualBox xorg driver for Xorg 1.19, which is 
going to land soon.

HI Nikola,
Aurelien mentions:"VT console switching cannot work until somebody works on the 
i915 *kernel* driver. This has been the case since we got the KMS intel driver 
integrated."
Hope to supply a newer Intel kernel update soon after the next snapshot 
release. 
 
Nikola mentions:"On Dell D620 laptop, i have, since April (bug introduced 
between January and April), problem with illumos, with large CPU use of a 
random running process on the machine that gets stuck for tens of seconds with 
high cpu use for no reason, making whole system pretty much unusable."
There was a illumos submitted patch that mentioning fixing (somewhat) a 
'related' high CPU issue.
Set up a Xorg.conf file to disable HW acceleration for the Intel GPU (Option 
'Accel' off) using the intel driver. You can create on another tested platform 
and just use it with the option mentioned to see if you get the same issue. 
Note: This means we are not using the vesa driver for any testing info. Test 
your VT consoles and check for CPU issues. Let us know.

 I retried after I supposedly changes landed.
 I don't see the point of testing, when I think newer intel driver already 
landed the same day on /hipster repository yesterday?
(https://hipster.openindiana. org/jenkins/job/oi-userland/ 3476/changes)


The xorg-video-intel update is minor as the UXA backend is barely touched since 
2015, so it does not affect users.
The testing part was more for Xorg itself, namely input devices.

 
 
 I am on 945 graphics it works even if there is NO xorg.conf (to set up vesa 
use) , I suppose newer driver is used then.
 ( $ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
 Section "Device"
     Identifier "Card0"
     Driver "vesa"
 EndSection )
 Everything seems ok, yet VT console switching does not work when not using 
vesa, (screen gets white, like pre-exposed on VT switching with Ctrl+Alt+Fn , 
F7 is to get back to X), but it can get back to X right on F7. I haven't tried 
yet playing video.


VT console switching cannot work until somebody works on the i915 *kernel* 
driver. This has been the case since we got the KMS intel driver integrated.
 
 
 Beside that., on my Core2Duo 5600 on Dell D620 laptop, i have, since April 
(bug introduced between January and April), problem with illumos, with large 
CPU use of a random running process on the machine that gets stuck for tens of 
seconds with hight cpu use for no reason, making whole system pretty much 
unusable.


Firefox has become very slow due to their recent changes to multithreaded.
 

 
 Also fonts seems too small on mine 14" 16:10 laptop screen with 1440X900 
resolution upon login
 I aether need to set DPI level on 122 manually in font settings to make it 
more readable or I need to sent default font size form 8 to 9. I think the 
first is better.
 
 If I use vesa in xorg.conf, then everything seems to work, including VT 
switching (except not tested video yet)
 
 I personally don't see why testing communication shouldn't be online and seen 
by other testers on the mailing list.


I wanted feedback first from Alexander and Ken before calling for testing. I do 
not like wasting people's time with half-baked updates.


 
 Also don't understand unneeded restrictions on lowering mailing list number 
and see barring people from posting to the mailing list as bad practice.
 I suggest also forming new 'oi-testing' mailing list to share testing results, 
beside openindiana-discuss and oi-dev.
 We also had many different mailing lists , yet Adam Stevko (xenol) disabled 
all of them awhile ago.
 --search-first 
 Down there are posted update commands and their output with '--search-first ' 
as a solution for updating testing BE.



Interesting, I did not know this option. I usually change the priority with -P.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] BIND 9.11.2 compile problems on OpenIndiana

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

 Jerry,
Solaris/OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana-related OS distros are all built from a 'shared 
library (*.so)' model versus the 'static library (*.a)' model. Ensure you build 
with '--enabled shared --disable-static' and remove '*.a' libraries as 
applicable from your packages/manifests/etc.

PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED IN SHORT

The problem I am encountering:  The compile bails out during compiling of the 
'test' section.  Actual screen captures at bottom of note.

Also note - what is the ".32" and ".64" referencing on some of the directories? 
I did both a 32 and 64 bit compile of OpenSSL (both successful and functional), 
and then, I (attempted) both a 32 and 64 bit compile of BIND.  Both compile 
attempts failed in the same place.

That does not sound very scalable or reasonable.  Surely there must be 
an identifier which is specific to the audio type and not to the 
plethora of possible video cards.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] HDMI and sound

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Professionally speaking, don't use the Nvidia audio processor for any serious 
work.Either use a good audio processor on the motherboard or a dedicated sound 
card/device (highly preferred).
I'm speaking mainly on the Nvidia audio processors integrated on their graphic 
cards. You can use it forBlu-Ray/DVD/Youtube/VLC playback for basic use. 
Anything display unit over a resolution of 1080p (1920 × 1080) is bad if you 
think of using it for high-end video/music streaming.
Again, use it only for very basic use. Otherwise, the audio processing becomes 
unstable.I suggest not using it at all, but if you do - heed the warning...

If you open audio control, there should be a selector
at the top for the device - maybe some controls are
not set up correctly.

Hmm… I'd suspect, that this 12TB is one of those new "archive" drives, isn't 
it? If yes, I wonder if support for those drives has already landed in Illumos. 
If yes, it should be of course safe to use them from OI's point of view.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Major troubles burning DVD from hipster ISO

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

1. Check MD5/SHA256 hash of your ISO images.2. Check 'verify ISO' before 
burning image.
Usually, that will prevent bad burns unless your burner is out of 
alignment/defective.

Have others had trouble like this or are folks burning these iso's to

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Testing for Xorg video drivers

Cloud:
1. VMware 5.x & 6.x
2. Amazon AWS

In supporting this, you mainly have x86 and x86_64
VM platform support for testing.

People can set up build machines, zones, and GUI remote desktop-related access 
on compatible physical hardware or using VMware. VMware tools support falls 
under their Solaris-related support.

 - Dell server with

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Any 32-bit users?

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Peter,
1. Yes. Many end users still own old 32-bit Pentium 4-based desktops and 
laptops.
2. Yes, OI could ship 64-bit only applications/drivers/etc.
OI has recent binary core snapshots and FOSS packages supporting 32-bit 
platforms. Having a 64-bit only core distro snapshot and packages is just 
forward thinking. Package maintainers can support either selection - but it is 
no longer the norm to support both selections (32/64-bit packaging) if the 
demand is not justified).

 Something that came up in discussion while we were at FOSDEM was
whether it's safe to ship 64-bit only applications in OpenIndiana.

Which begs the obvious question - is anyone running OpenIndiana on
hardware that isn't 64-bit? Please reply if so.

To check, use the isainfo command. If "isainfo -k" returns "amd64"
(or "isainfo -b" returns "64") then you're running in 64-bit and should
happily ignore this question. If you get "i386" or "32" respectively
then it would be nice to know.

por Sun Microsystems (ahora Oracle Corporation) para producir OpenSolaris, una

comunidad desarrolló distribución similar a Unix basados en Sun Solaris. 
Proyecto

Indiana fue dirigido por Ian Murdock, fundador de la distribución Debian Linux.

Algunas de las diferencias entre OpenIndiana y OpenSolaris puede haber

caracterizado como sigue:



OS / NET consolidación de Sun (cerrado por Oracle) ha sido sustituido

con Illumos puerta.



Muchas de las consolidaciones originales de software OpenSolaris han sido

reorganizado en un solo consolidación oi-espacio de usuario.

Sun Studio de Oracle ha sido sustituido por el código abierto GNU GCC

compilador.


XVM (XEN) ha sido reemplazado con el puerto Illumos-KVM.

Yes, the intel driver works on Intel HD 4000 as I've used it as the main test 
for the Intel driver.Some driver patches were sent in for other situations and

This is the kind of things I have no knowledge as to how to
get more information about. I am not a system developer.
After I installed the driver, I could not boot any more, and
I had to restore the system from the backup. I do not remember
whether I could boot in single user mode.

I might retry, but you have to tell me how to extract the
data you want from a computer which does not boot (using a
live-CD, copying some file to a fat-formatted USB key or
through the network, etc.)

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU not supported on hipster

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Gary,
Use the Nvidia 304.x driver series. 

We used this driver with the current oi_151a by default. Latest: 304.132
OI_Hipster is based on Nvidia 340.x driver series (Geforce 8-series and 
higher). You can uninstall the default driver and use the Nvidia 304.x driver.

Even my HP laser printer is supported and working.

Something's wrong with my monitor, though.  It's called Unknown,
with a resolution of 1024x768.  When I looked at the X server log,
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, it said this:

 (WW) NVIDIA(0): The NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE GPU installed in this system is

Sure enough, the nvidia driver is version 0.340.93-2015.0.1.0 .  Is
there a package for the older driver?  Is there some other solution?
Should I file a bug report?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Hipster distro contents confusion

Hello,
No. The official snapshot is the 2016.04 (i.e. BETA) release. The 2016.08 
snapshot is an ALPHA (experimental) release - not an official snapshot.
Read carefully, there are no STABLE releases of OI-Hipster. These are all 
'developer snapshots' - and only tested within a limited scope.
oi_151a track was maintained in a somewhat STABLE manner (slow moving track).

 I'm looking at Hipster 2016.04 and noticing that it supposedly includes

No warnings on the Release Notes page.

Then I find another download, 2016 08 16, a test iso where the 
intro/invite text talks about serious problems with having both MATE and 
Gnome

And I have a few other minor unclear points when trying to understand 
the ISO snapshot vs ips server stuff.


So a few questions to clear my mind of unfounded worries:

I suppose the ISOs are "hipster in a reasonably stable state, well worth 
trying in a non-critical machine, likely to work just fine, mostly"?

Are the live graphical ISOs reasonably complete, including most standard 
toppings for the Hipster ice cream? Or should I expect to add further 
packages after the ISO is installed, in order to have a nice basic 
desktop or media server experience??

Is the Gnome vs Mate issue from the 2016-08-16 test ISO a problem in the 
2016.04 ISO as well???

In the future, how do I upgrade from my then current Hipster ISO distro 
to the next Hipster ISO distro?
Will the ISOs contain an upgrade option?? Or is there some consolidation 
package magic to use the IPS server for that??

I intend to run Hipster in a new machine, no old data to backup.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] boot failure

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Christopher,
I'd advise migrating your data and applications to a new install rather than 
upgrading.
The key supported installations are: 
1. oi_151a8 - http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/151a8/2. hipster 2016.04.21 - 
http://dlc.openindiana.org/isos/hipster/

We'd rather you not lose any data or application support - so migrate to 
hipster first and see how that goes.

have snv_111 or snv_134 installed. I could try the directions on upgrading to 
134 on the OI "Upgrading from Open Solaris" page from the control console, but 
I am doubtful that will work. Can I try to install Hipster anyway?Also, I got a 
very nice install program from a distro of OmniOS I burned. However, unlike 
Hipster which will create a separate BE, Omni only allows one Solaris partition 
and will overwrite my hard disk. Since, I do not have a completeclone of my

Milax. I have notyet tried this out. Do you have any thoughts about using that 
as a rescue?

Is it possible to have both installed but select which one to run?  I
recall that at one time, Solaris 10 offered both CDE and Gnome
desktops.  You could select the one your preferred from the login
screen.  Something similar for OI might be useful.

PS: If there are files that are required by both Mate and Gnome,
you could put them in a desktop common meta-package.

Note that on Solarish OS'es, the backtrace will sometimes warn you about the
last linker lookup failure, even when it's not relevant - it could be the
driver looked for that symbol, didn't find it because your Xorg is an older
release, and went on about it's business only to crash later.

(I think, but have not had time to confirm that this is because the code I
  stuck in osinit.c years ago to catch actual errors here fails to check in
  the signal handler what signal was received so prints it for every signal:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit?id=98f4179156391752e6688339487458ad7828abf4
  If correct, the fix would be to wrap the first chunk of that in
  OsSigHandler inside an "if (signo == SIGQUIT)" block.)

Still, that backtrace looks like some invalid function pointer got put
into the list of callbacks for the wakeup routine - either directly or
by something else overwriting a crucial bit of memory with 0x32.

I started with the Gigabyte Brix Pro. This one is handy for 
testing:http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5781#ov
I started testing the Intel Iris Pro Graphics P580 based chips, but any Iris

Till now it was not possible to use Intelgraphics so I guess most people 
wereusing nVIDIA cards. However, once KMSwill be part of OI (or Illumos), 
people willhave no problem using it. For example,I tested the previous binary 
on an Intelmachine but it did not work. When I will goback to work, I will 
check the new binariesI just hope they will work just fine. I have 5 more 
machines there and I would like to upgrade to the hipster but I need a 
workingIntel driver!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenGL/3D application

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Ben,
There is the SFE project that holds a few OpenGL games like AssaultCube and 
Tremelous. A few 2D games likeLbreakout2. Apps like Stellarium.
You can look here:http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhostoih/en/index.shtml
http://pkg.openindiana.org/sfe/en/catalog.shtml
Wiki:http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Spec+Files+Extra+Repository 
If more data viz, there are many Java/JAvascript tools, but things like Tableau 
might require review.

Enjoy!,

I'm glad to learn that flighgear works on OI as pkg search flightgear doesn't

Actually any recent and real world OpenGL application would be good enough for 
me, glxgear always works as soon as you have a DRI loaded and I'm sure OpenGL 
as it is used by wine today has nothing to do with OpenGL from 10 years ago.

I'll have a second look at Paraview next week and will resubmit sslh to

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [oi-dev] OpenIndiana Docs - updated

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,
The 'default' minimal hardware requires  =>768MB RAM. The achieved hardware 
minimum recently with the latest illumos kernel is 48MB RAM (i.e. in CLI mode). 
This was recently achieved by Peter Tribble.

Older recent Live CD distros like Milax required at least 128MB RAM for CLI 
mode and 256MB RAM for desktop mode.
Changes were made for installer purposes, ZFS/LiveCD overhead, etc. You can 
minimize a lot of this.

Sidenote: Just 10-12 years ago, very high-end 3D gaming systems used 2MB RAM 
and high-end computers used 512KB-2MB RAM.
illumos development may give more accurate numbers.
Hope that helps,Ken

Some notes:
http://makruger.github.io/website/pages/docs/faq.html:
1) Sun/Oracle’s proprietary OS/NET consolidation has been replaced with 
illumos-gate. => Sun OS/NET consolidation, closed by Oracle, has been 
replaced...  I mean, OS/NET was open until Oracle came;
2) What are the recommended hardware specifications... I'm not sure 
about 4GB... It can be true for desktop/decent server, but you shurely 
can run OI with 2GB RAM or even less. I've just checked, my OI VM with 
GUI has 2 GB RAM... Perhaps, we can distinguish minimal and recommended 
requirements?

http://makruger.github.io/website/pages/docs/handbook.html
Besides synchronizing to Handbook on the wiki, other notes:
1) Booting physical hardware - seems irrelevant, better to provide links 
to illumos HCL and OI community HCL.
2) 2.1.2. Booting Virtual Hardware
No special tricks are required for Virtualbox, just mention to select os 
type Solaris 11 64-bit.
3) 2.2. The OpenIndiana Boot Menu
  You should eventually be presented with a desktop. - irrelevant to 
Text Install images.
4) Perhaps, need to mention that UEFI boot is still not supported.
5) 4.2  When you boot from the text installer, it immediately begins the 
installation process using the previously described Text based Guided 
Install.
Not entirely true, it also can spawn shell and be used as recovery image.

Other general note. If we have to use some documentation tools to write 
OI documentation, they should be available in OI repository. Perhaps 
it's not true for IDEs, but basic tools should be there.

Hi Sriram,

1. Elevator pitch/ Two sentence summary of Martin's work on Intel DRM/KMS.

Martin Bochnig is the Principal Software Engineer of OpenSXCE. He 
volunteered to update and port the Intel-based open source kernel components of 
the Intel Graphics KMS/GEM and Direct Rendering Infrastructure 2D/3D graphics 
driver stack to OpenSolaris-related distros.  


2. What is Intel DRM? 


Direct Rendering Manager (DRM)
is a kernel module that gives direct graphics hardware access to DRI clients. 
This module deals with DMA, memory management, resource locking, and secure 
hardware access. 


3. What is Intel KMS? 


Full kernel mode setting support to run the recent usermode ddx and mesa 
drivers for Intel GPUs. 

4. Why are these important?


The open source Intel GEM/KMS/DRM/DRI libraries and device driver support 
Intel's GPUs on the lowest level. This technology is responsible for managing 
the HDMI/TV/DVI video outputs, power management, low-level graphics commands 
execution, monitor hotplug detection and all the low-level bits required for 
the Intel GPU graphics hardware to work. The end goal provides gen4-gen9 Intel 
GPU 2D/3D hardware-accelerated graphics support for OpenSolaris-related distros.



5. What is Martin doing in this space? 

Martin Bochnig is the Principal Software Engineer of OpenSXCE. He 
volunteered to update and port the open source kernel components of the 2015Q4 
Intel Graphics 2D graphics driver stack to OpenSolaris-related distros.


6. What can Open Indiana users do to help test? 

Help Martin in support, testing, funding, and driver-related feedback. 
Support for OpenSXCE is welcome.


7. How does this fit in the Open Indiana roadmap ? 

The end goal provides gen4-gen9 Intel GPU 2D/3D hardware-accelerated 
graphics support for OpenSolaris-related distros. This project will support 
legacy Intel GPUs, Intel HD Graphics, and Intel Iris Pro Graphics (aka Intel 
Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge/Bay Trail/Haswell/Broadwell/Skylake).


8. How does this fit with the Illumos cause? 


The goals of the illumos project  provide community support and 
improvements to the original OpenSolaris-related OS/Net source code. Intel 
GPU-specific laptop users, sys admins, and developers requested basic 2D 
graphics driver support in their assistance to the illumos project goals.


Sidenote: I'd like to recognize Randy Fishel, Principal Software Engineer at 
Oracle, for his 'status of Intel DRM/KMS' presentations and documentation on 
the kernel-related Intel graphics driver port at Oracle for the Solaris OS 
product. 


Hope this info helps the Solaris/OpenSolaris/OpenIndiana and Intel graphics 
engineering community,
Ken Mays

My hesitancy with updating is primarily due to lack of available time, 
and not because I don't want to update to hipster or 
illumos-current+oi_151a9.  Is there a reason to not update to 
'hipster' and to prefer illumos-current + stale oi_151a9 applications?

I am noticing residue (e.g. iostat entries for non-existing hardware) 
left behind from previously replaced hard drives.  Probably I did not 
use 'cfgadm' correctly to tell the system that a SAS drive was 
permanently removed.  I think that the problem started from before I 
recently replaced a SAS drive though.  It must be due to the flaky USB 
pool hardware.

Bob,

No need to update to hipster, just update your kernel (osnet) consolidation.

IPS: hipster-2015

Name: consolidation/osnet/osnet-redistributable

This was just to update to the latest kernel environment patches from Illumos. 
Don't do anything without
ensuring your specific bug is fixed (or improved) with any kernel update (saves 
time and effort). 


I going to put something on the WIKI to help resolve some of these issues.

Interested if "re-generating /dev/rdsk and /dev/dsk device entries from 
scratch" resolves both problems.

As for driver updates, same thing.

change, analysis of trends, etc.
Informal white papers: 1000+ words on something of interest or relevance to 
X.org developers, FreeDesktop.org developers or the X community at large. These 
papers will appear in the online conference proceedings of XDC 2016, and are 
unrefereed (beyond basic checks for legitimacy and relevance). Papers can be 
refereed if requested in advance.
Technical research papers: 2500+ words in a format and style suitable for 
refereed technical publication. Papers that are judged acceptable by the TPC 
and its referees will be published in the online conference proceedings of XDC 
2016.XDC 2016 technical presenters will be chosen from the authors of any of 
these submissions (as well as other presenters invited by the TPC).
Presenters will be selected from those who submit before the deadline. There is 
usually time left for late talk proposals, but do not count on it. We also may 
be able to offer financial assistance for travel for presenters who could not 
otherwise afford to attend and who submit before the deadline. Please do submit 
your proposal in a timely fashion.

Accepted formats: PDF and ASCII text.

There is a problem with recognizing passwords in Firefox 38.2.1 if using 
Firefox 24.8.1 before.

I consulted someone on Mozilla IRC that told me there were and move in 
password saving format in soem ESR in between,
I have on FF 24.8.1 signons.sqlite and 38.2.1 uses logins.json for 
storing passwords,
so jumping first to soem intermediary ESR would be wise.

There are Oracle contributer sources for the paches for Firefox at:

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Security awareness: Update to Firefox 38.2.1 ESR or greater

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

URL: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/38.2.1esr/contrib/
Mozilla Firefox is an open source web browser. XULRunner provides the XUL
Runtime environment for Mozilla Firefox.

A flaw was found in the processing of malformed web content. A web page
containing malicious content could cause Firefox to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Firefox.
(CVE-2015-4497)

A flaw was found in the way Firefox handled installation of add-ons.
An attacker could use this flaw to bypass the add-on installation prompt,
and trick the user into installing an add-on from a malicious source.
(CVE-2015-4498)

All Firefox users should upgrade to Firefox version 38.2.1 ESR or greater, 
whichcorrects these issues. After installing the update, Firefox must be 
restartedfor the changes to take effect.

Hello,
I built hplip-3.15.9 using oi-hipster 2015.10. 
Seems to work for those printers.
We'll see if we can update the IPS package.

We have not upgraded the kernel radeon DRM so it is a hit-or-miss on OI-hipster

Jerry,
Ref: http://wiki.openindiana.org/display/oi/Firefox
Also, after what Peter said, here are the current porting efforts of the newer 
Firefox releases to OI-hipster:
1. Firefox 40.0 - Reviewed yesterday for porting. Passed all dependency checks. 
In progress. Porting efforts based on pkgsrc (ryo). See: 
http://pkgsrc.se/www/firefox

2. Firefox 38.2.0esr - porting to OI-hipster. In progress. Main production 
workflow effort.
3. Firefox 37 - ported and tested by Martin Bochnig, OpenSXCE. See: 
http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2015-March/017390.html 
4. Firefox 31.8.0esr - ported and tested by Oracle. OI-hipster specific test 
builds are still in oi-dev testing phase.
Thanks for asking,Ken

I have been stuck on Firefox 25 for some time now, having been bitten by the 
Firefox won't save downloaded files issue, and had somewhat stopped trying 
new 
versions to address the issue around Firefox 29.x.

Anyway, we always used to have pretty consistent new builds in the contrib area 
on the mozilla site, I believe that they were typically compiled by someone 
within Oracle, in Asia, but that really isn't important.

Anyway, I went out to mozilla.org to see what was currently available, and the 
newest thing I can find is

Firefox 31.8.0 esr

Is that really the newest version of Firefox available to us?

Or have downloads been moved to somewhere else?

Comments appreciated.

 It doesn't core dump with the Firefox 24 that comes with OI, but then I

 It used to work fine, and I have a log of what changed during the upgrade

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] No longer using OI Desktop

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Jonathan,
Very good points as some similar issues haunt the BSD/Linux desktop worlds.. I 
remember when I mentioned that Solaris 11.2 still lacked decent AMD/ATI Radeon 
support or when OI-Hipster started with a newer Nvidia driver that dropped 
Nvidia GeForce 6000/7000 support used on my laptop. Had to suck it up and move 
on, use an older OI release, or adapt to the newer OI-Hipster releases
Here are a few things I've done: 
1. You can use PDF Studio, linux VM, or Wine for using later versions of Adobe 
Reader.2. Intel driver support affects BSD, all OpenSolaris/Illumos distro 
releases, as well as even Solaris  Solaris 11.2.3. OI is as flexible with 
desktops as BSD/Linux distros. Not really a major issue - just your choice. 
Windowmaker is still used.4. FF 17ESR  24ESR are supported. Flash Player 10  
11.2.202.223 varies. (see: 
https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html) 
There is now FF 37.1, ported to OI which is a bit leading-edge so your mileage 
may vary there as well
Using other OSes is a matter of choice and many of us like the 'new and shiny' 
applications available on those distros. Like a toolbox,it is a matter of 
picking the best tool (i.e. distro/OS/app) for the job. 
The other thing I mentioned was the older linux wrapper, QuickTransit, or other 
VM/hypervisor tech option which lets you run most linux apps without porting 
everything. I worked with that before I got more into Wine ports, but that is 
just another option.
Otherwise, use what works best for your desktop needs.

 Just a note to say that I have stopped using OI on the desktop, and have
moved to the backup system of Ubuntu on the laptop.

OI Hipster no longer worked well with Firefox provided on the Mozilla
website (every time a dialog box appeared there was a 50% chance it would
crash, and a 100% chance if the mouse cursor went near it), and the version
24 in the repository didn't run flash at all, so I couldn't use the
Enterprise Manager from Oracle.  I got around this using Martin Bochnig's
version for which I was very grateful.
The Mozilla provided Thunderbird suffered the same issues as Mozilla
provided Firefox, dialog boxes kill it (file attachment to emails was an
instant death, open with the same) and the OS provided Thunderbird core
dumped without starting.  I could get around the file attachment by
dragging and dropping from the file explorer onto the message, I could live
with the open with by letting it use the default application (which
didn't work) then picking the files up from /tmp in the correct application.

The Adobe Reader 9.3 core dumped instantly.  I know that evince works well
as a PDF viewer, but since I work with Electronically signed documents;
Adobe is the only graphical application that deals with these correctly.  I
worked around it by not checking any signing of the document.

There is no longer a working Intel graphics driver, although I could get
around this by removing the driver and running in vesa with the
915resolution program.

I started to play with making the ubuntu partition work better with our
network and settings, getting sccs, autofs, openldap relication, etc. etc.
working, and in the process of mounting my zfs root (to access the /etc
directory of OI) I managed to stop a working BE from booting, meaning that
I was forced to use a BE after the upgrades that broke all of the above.

Consequently, Ubuntu died on my laptop during an system upgrade where it
decided to uninstall the Intel graphics and disk drivers (would have been a
serious win for beadm btw) and rather than trash the computer and all the
settings I bought a new internal drive to copy all of my files.

My laptop was dual boot on an 80Gb harddisk.  I bought a new 1TB harddisk
(was wondering about SSD, but felt that if I wanted to run Illumos I'd be
better with spinning rust because of TRIM) ... I thought about the issues
as stated above ... and I installed just Ubuntu on it.

I feel a little guilty about it, like cheating on your first love, but I
don't feel guilty about the 25 second boot times (as opposed to 5 mins) or
the fact that I can run programs without them crashing.  It also allows me
access to more updated versions of software, and versions not available on
Solaris (chromium, etc)

I'm still keeping OI on the servers, ZFS root FS, Virtual network
interfaces and Zones are brilliant, and no OS can compete, but I have
decided to give up on the desktop.

Thanks for reading this.

   - OpenSXCE is a project on which Martin Bochnig (previously creator of 
MartUX distribution based on OpenSolaris SXCE) slaved away for many months, 
investing all his time and scarce monies. It is ultimately an up-to-date 
distribution in sync for SPARC and x86, and on SPARC it supports all sun4u and 
sun4v Workstations, Servers, Telcos from the 1995' Ultra-1 to everything that 
came to market before 2011. All gfx cards have binary redistributable driver 
support. The distribution comes with Caiman text-install and gui-install, on 
CD.iso, DVD.iso and USB (even on select SPARC models).
 
2. illumos mainly supports their own kernel environment support model. Distros 
usually support their own 'support model' through bug reporting, forums, and 
mailing lists.
3. Martin is certified as an advanced Solaris network  security systems admin, 
FOSS contributor, and a software engineer/developer. See: 
http://www.guug.de/veranstaltungen/osdevcon2007/slides/marTux___OSDevCon2007.pdf
So, best to end this thread and just contact Martin for his help and support.

 Hello Volker,

 I changed the subject of the e-mail but I don't agree that this is a 
 different subject.

 Martin Bochnig maintains the OpenSXCE distro and is now blocked on the 
 following lists:
 - openindiana-discuss
 - llumos-Devel

 I can imagine that nobody wants to contribute source code to a 
 community if you are banned from the community lists.

I think it's the other way around.
People never seen contribution for years form martin and saw political 
off topic posts and other off topic things.

 As a result the CDDL license forbids you to distribute the 
 distribution if the source code is not made available.
 So basically, by acting this way, someone is killing a potential 
 Illumos based Distro from which we all would benefit.
As said, it started other way around.
Also mailing list membership never stopped anyone of posting it's 
patches, so it is just inconvenience, not an obstacle. So it's not 
techical but someone's mind problem.

Also there is possibility of making other mailing lists, too. But if 
someone is not following licenses for years it's known where the root of 
problem is..

Ways of being included in public talk is if person is not attacking 
other people or project , being on-topic
and .. that's it.  Maybe also a bit of positive attitude :)

 To me this does not feel good. Apparently Illumos has no professional 
 governance model to resolve these issues.

Please take your question to illumos.
Apparently it surely has professional level of managing things, that's 
one of the reasons they ditched Martin.
If Martin to accept change to on-topic, no grunges way of dealing things,
then it's all OK. He needs to change, not other way around.

 If this can happen, any distro developer or vendor would think twice 
 before developing on Illumos. And that is a bad thing for the whole 
 Illumos community.
This is bullshit
because as I explained sending and releasing patches have nothing to do 
with mailing lists.

Root of the problem is f someone does not understand that contributing 
code back is good thing for himself and everyone.
Posting politics together with rants without contribution does not 
constitute contribution.

 So I would suggest we think of a better way to approach this than 
 hoping it will be solved by itself.
 I would like to keep de OpenSXCE distro available for anyone and at 
 the same time construct a transparent Illumos distro support model 
 which will support current and hopefully new distros.
 Call it an incubator package or kickstart package which would inspire 
 new development on Illumos.
 All suggestions are welcome.

Only way it would solve itself is if people are kind to each other, 
_understand_ that copyleft

 Are you getting 0 byte downloads? I used to have that problem beginning with 
 FF 24 or 26. The problems ended when Hipster upgraded GNOME to mostly 2.32.

 If the file size where you downloaded the file reports that it is 0 bytes, 
 look in /tmp for a file with an 8 character name followed by the extension 
 and then .part; i.e. Wxqitlyu.pdf.part. Copy or cut the file and paste it to 
 where you downloaded the file to. Then select the faulty file, press F2, copy 
 the filename, then delete the file. Finally, rename the .part file with the 
 original name of the downloaded file. A pain but worked for me.

 I too use the tarballs. 31.6.0esr was added on April 10th.

I then de-installed the intel driver from hipster, set the resolution and
have vesa working at 1280x800.

obviously not the perfect answer, but since the hardware acceleration on

 hmm ... I do appear to be stuck at an old version of the intel driver ...

  Same (1024X768 fixed screen resolution) happens with intel 945 graphics,
 that worked OK till 2015.
 I think it also worked in 2015 before last update.
 Only, Hipster does not update 'entire' package on every update, so I can
 not update from 20141010 to 2015 prior to latest update of 2015. (destroyed
 it before another 2015 update). So 2015 is not usable currently for desktop.

 Also , managing screen brightness from GNOME applet fails in today's
 hipster-2015 , this is second blow to Hipster Laptop use since standby
 stopped working in Spring 2014 (also destroyed old Hipster BE where it last
 worked so can not go back to it to see what changed)

 When updating, even when /opt is cleaned and mounted and work like that
 right after that in 2014.1 (separate issuue on freezing display on logging
 as another user - I should report user's settings maybe),
 after update to 2015 it needs also cleaning /opt and rebooting again to
 boot right.
 Obviously update mess with installing something in /opt under
 /opt/install-test
 and leaves dirs of sub-datasets in there. (That is problem from before
 20141010)
 It is suggested it is illumos problem and to cry there for leaving /opt in
 piece... Let's cry.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] All 32-bit-only X device drivers removed from Hipster -??

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,
Removing 32-bit support was not until another release from now.

 Hello.

I think I have to comment some statements to make them clearer.

 I have been reading 'Hipster' change log, posted on Openindiana wiki
 under the page:
 http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/oi_hipster
 and I noticed that alp did All 32-bit-only X device drivers removed.,
 just after updating them.

First of all, we removed all old X device drivers. The full list is the 
following: apm, ark, chips, glint, i128, i174, neomagic, rendition, s3, 
s3virge, silliconmotion, sls, tdfx, tga, tseng.

Note, that they were dropped upstream, so I can't even suggest that they 
were tested by Oracle developers. If noone has tested the code, it means 
it doesn't work. If someone wants to support them - I means build with 
new Xorg for BOTH 32-bit and 64-bit Xserver and test that they actually 
work, we'll add them back. Good news is that I haven't seen these 
devices in the wild for ages. Last s3 I've seen was on my Pentium 
133-based workstation. Anyway, vesa should support them. I can test (and 
care about) nvidia, radeon, virtualbox and (now) intel video adapters. I 
haven't tested intel during update (as I didn't have necessary hardware) 
- and you see that it led to breakage.

 As recently it was mentioned on mailing list by alp, that he is thinking
 of removing 32-bit hardware support for no clear reasons,
 Remind you that all Openindiana ISO disks till now both work on 32-bit
 and 64-bit x86 hardware, both as LiveDVD media and after install, with
 most of applications being 32bit on 64bit hardware.
 Removing also such excellent functionality is also questionable.

I think about removing 32-bit hardware support for the following reasons:
- (the main one) it allows us to be closer to upstream and so decreases 
work on porting software from upstream. When only 3 men do something for 
distribution on regular basis, it's a great win (also think about new 
bugs, which can be unique to 32-bit applications, see, for example, 
https://www.illumos.org/issues/5608);
- 64-bit ABI is cleaner and we should think less about long file names 
compilation environment, ability to use more ram and so on (for example, 
do we really need 32-bit PostgreSQL or Percona Server ?);
- testing... Everyone runs 64-bit systems. When we broke Gnome on 32-bit 
systems, we found out it only two months later, because Jim decided to 
install OI in 32-bit VirtualBox VM... Perhaps, just noone uses Hipster 
on 32-bit systems?

Anyway, it was just a suggestion, not stated goal.

 Those are machines coming brand new with 32-bit OSes in March 2015 with
 no less then 2GB of RAM or 4 with less usabe, that is still considered
 'just fine' amount for many desktop and small server needs. Also this
 kind of hardware is all around us and it is simply not the case that
 'every computer in last 7-8 years is 64bit',
 , but also vast amount of them has up to 4GB of RAM and 32-bit OS es
 installed and that is big potential also for OI use that, should not be
 destroyed.

Really, I can't imaging doing something besides basic testing on PC with 
 2 GB of RAM. Your FF will eat first one, ZFS arc  the second and IPS 
will go in swap... And what for do you need 32-bit server? The last 
32-bit server we had was shut down it seems in 2012. It had 2GB RAM and 
run FreeBSD 6.4 Oh, no, we still have one gateway which runs FreeBSD 
4.6.2 and has ~ 400M RAM. I hope you are not going to run OI on such 
server :)

 If some techical things are in mind here , then OI should firstly have
 at least some or ANY release, following /dev that could fully support
 32-bit and not, before that move and not letting down existing users.


As I mentioned, I'll help man who wants to do stable, release or 
what else based on current Hipster. But it's impossible in current 
situation when we don't have enough developers.

Under Solaris (and thus openindiana) you need to add libsocket and

easily by looking for the missing symbols in the man pages (eg. man 
getaddrinfo).

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] GNOME 2.32.1 in Hipster

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

True, if we consider it from our 'full-fledged' GNOME 2.32.1 desktop 
environment deployment perspective.
But, the basic GNOME 2.32.1 desktop environment is there. Some work exists to 
finish porting the otherpackages - but nothing major.
Also, the GNOME 2.32.1 'platform' foundation is complete. Meaning, all 
GNOME2-based applications currentlyexisting are portable to OI with minimal 
fuss (aka non-kernel related).
See you in two weeks!

Sorry, but this is an exaggeration. We have updated a lot of Gnome

still are not there. Just do pkg list |grep gnome|grep 151.1.8  - and

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] is this project still active

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Hmmm,

OI actually has a roadmap - we call it the TODO list.

Also remember, OI is a 'CORE OS' Live CD/DVD desktop/server distro - not a 
buffet or extravaganza OS distro.

A lot of the original major work was already done. Most of the work now is bug 
fixes and upkeep.

Most users may not know that many major OS distros only release a CD/DVD 
release/snapshot ONCE a year.
The release stable snapshots that were still buggy and not fully tested. Some 
apps wouldn't even load. Yet, they
claimed a 'stable' software release. This still goes in the commercial desktop 
wars and open source distros.

Also, OI is not so much about being a OI developer (remember, it pulls 'more' 
from the upstream developments as well as illumos developments). A core OS is 
not about glitz and glamour. You want to provide upkeep to a snapshot of core 
consolidations.

So in shortness, we have today:
1. kernel environment (illumos-gate)
2. Userland
3. Xnv (X11)
4. Desktop UI (JDS)
5. Installer
6. package management

Most OI work consists of the upkeep and packaging of #1, #2, and #4.

The roadmap consists of providing the next distro releases and importing recent 
changes from upstream consolidation providers. The upstream development teams 
have done the heavy-lifting, code patching,
and code review.

So , if something does not work - it usually is an oversight from upstream or a 
bad compile or packaging job.

File a bug or enhancement report.

Sidenote:
The OI project only need a few dedicated people maintaining it - not thousands 
of developers working on the actual project (in reality, it already has that). 
Think 'very small' business - how many employees are operating most of the 
small businesses in your current city/town? Normally, 1-6 people. Most 
departments in small or 
med-size companies have teams of 1-6 people. So, there is a misconception of 
needing a lot of people
for the project or small/micro business. Most Linux OS distros are worked on by 
1-2 people per distro.

The OI project truely benefits from EveryCity's working capital, resources, 
overhead, and hosting solutions.
That is actually an understatement. EveryCity has gone above and beyond 
supporting both the illumos and
OI project.

So my point is that you should support those small businesses that sponsor and 
support the OI project. The
real companies behind the scene.Give them credit where it is due. Also, support 
those students or people
working at universities and colleges, professional developers, and enthusiasts.

Money is not everything, but time is...

 There are sufficient problems, as OI developer is a more and more

 If you want just basic storage (i.e., fresh base and ~ Solaris 11 level

HP xw8600 workstation running build 151_a9

Last night the room where I keep my computers was pretty warm as I
closed things down for the night I decided to shut down the xw8600
which I don't usually do. Its not a terrific heat source but seemed
like anything I could shut down would help the room cool down.

And just so readers don't think this was an unusual sweltering heat up
and start thinking along those lines for cures... it was not unusual
since I am running 4 computers in a small room.  There have been no
reports on any heat up problems so I'm talking about computers at
temperatures well within operating range.

Next day, I discover I cannot get booted up.  The machine goes thru
the usual chain of events but instead of booting on up it ends with a
message like:

`No system disk or disk error... 
replace and strike any key when ready'

My first impulse was to check connections, then boot to bios to see if
any disks were not recognized or if I could see any other indications
of actual hardware problems.

I could see none but don't really have enough experience or skill to
really say it all looked ok.

I can say the discs all appeared in the order I expected.

I have not seen any indications from logs or whatnot giving me any
clues or expectations of a problem.

My setup is using mirrored pools of matched pairs of discs.  The boot
disc and its mirror `should' be able to boot from either one.

So I switched the sata wires so that the mirror would be in the boot
position and tried that got the same result.

From there I started trying to think what I might have done recently
that would end in this result  The problem is, that the machine
has been up a good while so not so easy to remember everything I've
been doing.

The one thing I came up with as a possible problem creating action was
a very recent install of vbox and the setup of two linux vms.

Installing vbox does fiddle with ethernet addresses and such ... but
its quite a jump to causing a non-bootable situation.

I really don't know how to start debugging this situation and not even
sure what I should be reporting here to give any possible helpful
posters a chance at the problem.

The machine has no cdrom drive as I disconnected them in favor or more
hdd.  So, have not yet booted from a live cd or the like.  I can
either disconnect a non-boot drive and reconnect a cdrom dr or use an
USB. 

Any troubleshooting advice or requests for information would be quite
helpful.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Future of OI (was Bash Bug issue)

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

You missed Tribblix and DilOS and a few others. Same as in cars, why are there 
so many of them that do
similar things ??? Choices.

Tribblix, XStreamOS-Desktop, and OI are the current leading 'desktop-oriented' 
distros. Those distros differ in
package management and default desktops (amongest other things). OpenSXCE was 
one of the leading
 desktop distros for the OpenSolaris community that supported both x86/x86-64 
and legacy SPARC platforms.

As in cars, people working on similar things can contribute to each other as 
well as the big brother distro
(aka Solaris). Some distro projects are self funded or corporate sponsored 
(Nexenta, OmniOS, SmartOS, etc).

OI was more about the foundation of testing the latest Illumos kernel snapshots 
and porting the core upstream consolidations - while supporting a desktop UI 
experience. People wanted to support the 'core OS' consolidations and some of 
the legacy OpenSolaris core projects.

People then branch out and spread their wings to 
build/consult/enhance/embrace... hence, like a phoenix

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] New OI /dev release, release structure

For /dev, that was JT-EC and the many contributers to OI_151a that either built
consolidations or tested the distro.

If new /dev (hipster), the hopefully it gets tested as 'good enough' to replace 
/dev.

Really, there is mainly the testing of userland. SFE is based on backward 
compatibility so is tested and updates
are done on things that may not work. Are major upstream core consolidations 
are compiled on hipster as the base distro.

So, hipster is about as 'production-ready' as oi_151a9. If not, time to focus 
on providing feedback.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] New OI /dev release, release structure

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Hipster provided the recent kernel builds and
updates from the upstream consolidations.

We had discussed hipster as being oi-151a10.

/dev is just a timestamp on a snapshot. A Hipster snapshot can replace /dev 
once the major consolidations are successfully built and tested. 

Hipster is like upgrading from Win98 to Win7. You'd want a clean install to 
test and use. Migrate your apps over to the new install. Usually takes about 
1-2 hours rather than fighting over upgrade issues.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] booting HP xw8600 from ISO

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

You usually keep it in AHCI or SATA mode - not IDE. Depends on how the various

define the modes. Consider IDE controller modes 'classic legacy'.

 I didn't know enough to try to `fix' whatever was the problem from the

 I have some misgivings about either of the other two but discovered
 that the installation ISO will boot normally under either.

 I've currently set it to `Separate IDE Controller' but could use some
 advice as to what is best to do here.

 You have done what most of us do, tried the available options in the
 appropriate area.


 I'll continue the install assuming, that bios setting can be changed
 if necessary without having to install all over again.

 Hopefully someone experienced with this server (HP xw8600) will be
 able to advise me about this item.

 This issue is seen if the dvd drive isn't working after the kernel is
 running. I have seen it many times.

 The boot loader gets the kernel and base drivers and part of the OS
 into memory, and that usually works.

 Then it needs the kernel and drivers to recognize the sata controller
 and drive to mount and access the rest of the system files, which is
 where it failed.


 The 'cure is to try all bios settings affecting the dvd drive, which
 is what you have successfully done.

 I have in the past resorted to IDE drives, or booting from USB drives,
 which can be even more problematic to try to resolve the problem.



 So well done, you have made it a few rungs up the experience ladder.

Hah... and so I have.  But is there any reason to prefer one of the
settings that work over the other.

Either:
  Separate IDE Controller–offers standard SATA supports (four ports
  only).
(The one I used)

Or:
  Combined IDE Controller–makes the SATA controller look like an IDE
  controller and offers best IDE compatibility (two ports only).

For example: Does the second one above leave more usable sata ports?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [OmniOS-discuss] Shopping for an all-in-one server

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

I like what Ian said. although, 4U is a bit daunting.

You can opt for 1U-2U, 1-2 processors.

You can have a chassis with 8 drive bays. Fit for = 18TB of storage.

From there you can get solid state HDs and regular drives of your choice. 
Simple controller that can handle them - and has a driver for it.
Your HD vendor/OEM usually know that info on controller/HD compatibility.

You can also go for a separate NAS storage unit. 

Point is there are a few options and custom servers or the cheap ones on eBay 
for $500 (i.e. Dell R710 or similar)...

The HP N54L are well supported by the community.

 would be a better fit. Also, I was away from shopping for new server gear for 
 a while and its compatibility with illumos in particular, so I'd kindly ask 
 for suggestions for a server like that ;)

SmartOS would be a good fit if you are combining storage with KVM. USB 
booting also saves a couple of drive slots!

 The company's preference is to deal with HP, so while it is not an 
 impenetrable barrier, buying whatever is available under that brand is much 
 simpler for the department. Cost seems a much lesser constraint ;)

HP's bundled RAID controllers can be a problem, make sure you can get 
something with IT firmware, or at least JBOD support.

 I am less certain about HBAs (IT mode, without HW-RAID crap), and the 
 practically recommended redundancy (raidzN? raid10? how many extra disks in 
 modern size ranges are recommended - 3?)

That all depends on the number of drives and the workload.

 Also i am not sure about modern considerations of multiple PCI buses - 
 especially with regard to separation of ssd's onto a separate HBA (or 
 several?) to avoid bottlenecks in performance and/or failures.

SSDs can be SATA and the hard drives SAS.

 Finally, are departmental all-in-one combines following the Thumper ideology 
 of data quickly accessible to applications living on the same host without 
 uncertainties and delays of remote networking still at all 'fashionable'? ;)

They are with Joyent!

 Buying a single purchase initially may be easier to justify than multiple 
 boxes with separate roles, but there are other considerations too. In 
 particular, their corporate network is crappy and slow, so splitting into 
 storage+server nodes would need either direct cabling for data, or new 
 switching gear which i don't know yet if it would be a problem; localhost 
 data transfers are likely to be a lot faster. I am also not convinced about 
 higher reliability of split-head solutions, though for high loads i am eager 
 to believe that separating the tasks can lead to higher performance. I am 
 uncertain if this setup and its tasks would qualify for that; but it might be 
 expanded later on, including role-separation, if a practical need is found 
 after all.

You can easily get all you are after in a 4U all in one.  Keep the 
system simple if you can.

 PS: how do you go about backing up such a thing? Would some N54L's suffice to 
 receive zfs-send's of select datasets? :)

Another, low spec Illumos box with plenty of storage.  Performance won't 
be an issue, so you can use wider raidzN vdevs to boots capacity.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Tribblix update

[ken mays via openindiana-discuss]

Other notes on Tribblix vs OI:

1. Tribblix is also a 'install-only' DVD and USB option at the moment versus 
the 'Live-DVD' option of OI. Also, it has support for automated installs in an 
easier fashion than OI.

2. OI is a 'server-centric' distro. Many packages community and/or sponsor 
supported are for server-based applications. As mentioned, GNOME/JDS is the 
primary desktop environment supported by OI development.

3. Tribblix uses the 'overlay' concept in managing application packaging versus 
individual packages.Also, this supports a better model of managing zones and 
packages within those zones.

4. Tribblix is one of the few illumos-based distros with the latest FOSS 
packages and Enlightenment/Xfce/GNOME support (mentioned already, but important 
to note).

Note: Enlightenment 0.18.8 and Xfce 4.10.0 can be built with the developer 
overlay option. Some updates needed there.

5. OI is a 'core distro' with value-added packages.The upstream consolidations 
is 'the bulk' of what OI supports and 'maintains' within its infrastructure. 
There is also a tendency to provide some compatibility and upward crossover 
development to Solaris 11.x track. Tribblix tends to become more 
'bleeding-edge' - releasing new technology and ISO images with the latest 
illumos kernel snapshots at a faster pace.

That is, of course, a fair question.

If you think about the diversity of distros in the Linux world, they
tend to be differentiated in two primary ways, by packaging, and
by function. Where function could be desktop or server or
appliance, with subcategories in each (such as the choice of
desktop environment).

Tribblix differs significantly from OpenIndiana in both respects
- packaging is SVR4 vs IPS (and that is a deliberate choice);
desktop is Xfce and Enlightenment vs JDS/Gnome. The server
functions of Tribblix aren't yet fully fleshed out, but again it's
likely to do things differently.

[ken mays]

Seems LibreOffice 4.1.4 is compilable on this distro
and Wine 1.7.8 is now available (thanks!). GNOME 2.32 is impressive.

Some amazing work and good innovation.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Cannot upgrade from 148 to 151a8

[ken mays]

John,
 
Best to schedule maintenance and backup the server data/apps. Install oi_151a8. 
You can update from that point.
 
If that is not preferred, you can follow these notes from the wiki:
http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/Upgrading+OpenIndiana
 
Notes:
1. pfexec pkg rebuild-index
2. pfexec pkg refresh --full
3. pfexec pkg image-update

The main groups doing LibreOffice builds on OI were:
1. Sonicle (Gabriele Bulfon)
2. Lanedo GmbH (http://www.lanedo.com/libreoffice/)
3. Adfinis SyGroup AG 
4. Tribblix.org (Peter Tribble)

People have gotten it to build successfully just issue with stability...

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Adaptec series 7

[ken mays]

Hi Grant,

The Adaptec aac driver in oi_151a8 supports up to the Adaptec 6xxx series.
The Adaptec 71605H works fine. My client has it in their video stream server.

I built it using AACRAID driver 7.2.0.30261.

Noted but that's from 09-10, I haven't had any problems with the 5800 series or 
the current 7 series (on linux). I can probably dig up a story about most 
manufacturers and someone's bad experience with them. I am not saying the 
details of that story aren't pretty terrible though =). I am running 2 of the 
24 port cards in a system with 48 ssds and performance is wonderful, I would 
just prefer to come back to OI from ubuntu when possible.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Adaptec series 7

[ken mays]

Grant,

I didn't use the older provided aac driver. The newer aac driver bundle from 
Adaptec has the 64-bit binary so you just disable the old aac and install the 
new one.

I suggest using the manufacturer's driver(s) and hardware - if directly 
supported by them.

Ken were you able to build the driver and install to the adaptec card or is the 
adaptec card just attached to storage pools?

Hi Gregory,

No. The Adaptec aac driver from their website is what I prefer in this case.

Check with Adaptec directly.

Do you know if the aac driver in a8 works with the 1405? A7 didn't connect the 
driver to the card even though the pci id was in the driver list.

I posted a little bit back asking about this on the n40l I built.

Thanks
