[OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I have noticed that there are no binaries for Firefox 30 and Firefox 31 beta.
Does anyone know a bit more about this?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenSXCE

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I am not really following every detail of the OpenSXCE debate but I would
like to say that we are definitely a very small community and we cannot
afford to lose anyone who can contribute to the development of the operating
system and the desktop environment. In addition, since we are a really small
community it makes no sense to have many different distributions. This
fragments the community and so we lose energy that could be used to 

provide drivers etc. For example, we still do not have a driver for
USB3 devices, we cannot use the ATI drivers since kernel mode setting
is not there, yet... And instead of fighting about nonsense, we should
create at least two groups to port and maintain OpenOffice (it works partially) 

andChrome and why not Firefox (we cannot rely on Oracle to compile it with
their outdated compiler!).

Best regards,

A.S.

Hello, 

 
After reading this long message


 You still didn't answer any of my questions.
 And here are some more:

 #0.) What do you think gives you the right, to speak for the overall
 OI (or even OpenSolaris) community, especially in order EXCLUDE A
 CONTRIBUTOR from it!??
 
... many many lines deleted

I just wonder whether this is some sort of race or what?
I you want to contribute, OK do it. Otherwise, do not it
and just let it go. It is pointless to argue about nothing.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] compiling firefox with gcc

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I would like to compile firefox using gcc instead of the buggy 

Sun Studio. Unfortunately, it seems that the building tools
are wrongly assuming that one should use Sun Studio to compile
things. Has anyone success in building firefox with gcc?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

  I'm inclined to suspect that you have an LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined
 somewhere which redirects firefox to use wrong library versions ?
 
I'm inclined to suspect that firefox is totally broken since I am still using 
OpenSolaris on
a machine and there the pluggin worked with no problem but now it crashes all 
the time. So
I am pretty sure they have done something extremely stupid this time.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] firefox 31.2.0esr broken?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

 Then why do I have no problems with it, even much less problems
 than in all the years before with the older crashplayer versions ?
 No, there's something wrong on your machines, we have a total of
 22 machines with oi_151a7 and a9 where this all works absolutely
 stable.
 

I have no idea! I have tested on a machine where the OS was installed clean
and where there was no previous .mozilla folder and yet it crashes all the time.
On OpenSolaris the previous version worked like charm and now it crashes!
Do you think that I am imagining these things? Perhaps it is not working 
correctly with the Greek UTF-8 locale. But this has nothing to do with libraries
and other staff.

 - admits OI developer. Oracle rubs his hands with a satisfied grin.
 


I still remember that a couple of years ago I tried to install Oracle Solaris 
on an

old laptop and the installer reported that the system had 60 or more CPUs... The
truth is that only when Solaris became OpenSolaris only then there was a wide 
adoption
and new things came into the play.

Today I tried to compile Firefox on an OI system. One of the problems I am 
trying to solve
is to thew one reported in the following URL

things do not work as they should?


BTW, has anyone compiled pulseaudio?

 Tons of local patches:

Where are the patches? I do not see them :-( Also, I suppose the patches assume 
that one is using the Oracle/Sun studio but personally I prefer to use gcc. I 
think it is a better compiler and one that incorporates the latest language 
changes/additions.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Has anyone successfully built a new firefox on OI?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

  Hi Richard and Apostolos,
 maybe we can add a wiki page and open a task on the openindiana tracker to
 follow the progress and dependencies.

 I see that for the latest esr31, sqlite3 needs an upgrade as we have 3.7.17
 in hipster and the requirement is (sqlite3 = 3.8.4.2).

Hello,

When I configured firefox the system did not complain about sqlite3 (I try to 
compile
Firefox 36) but it did complain about Python. It requires Python 2.7.X (I am 
using 2.7.8).
Also, it seems one needs pulse-audio and the latest (?) libjson-c. Since I do 
not have
the latest bits, thus I don't know if its there, but firefox requires a very 
recent autoconf.
And I can provide the patches I have created so far.

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

 I want to be able build FF and and other things too, by myself
 locally, so I can contribute in area I can. So having binary-only does
 not help in that.

 How shall I understand this?
 A) You don't want any bins

I would like to say a few things related to this matter. Binaries
are OK but the problem is that you cannot commit yourself to deliver
binaries for every release. And that is something that people who
maintain OI do not like. They want to be able to build firefox and
deliver binaries to anybody interested.



 B) You want to contribute

What do you mean?

 C) In order to get into a position to contribute FF related work, rather than
 contributing and working on the src until it works, you expect _me_ to provide
 it in fully functional manner!??

 Does that make sense?
 

Nobody expects anything. I had compiled OpenOffice and immediately I released
the patches I had to apply so that others could build it. That's what 

people want. On the other hand if you want to make money out of this, we
can try to make found or something to help you financially. It happened in
the TeX community with luaTeX where people found money and paid someone
to write luaTeX from scratch. The final project is completely Open Source.

IMHO there are two ways here. Either we set up a found and give people money

products.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Has anyone successfully built a new firefox on OI?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

 Maybe first try to reproduce what the Sun/Oracle team does to build every
 release, using Sun CC, then try to port to GCC?
 
 
This is not a solution as SunStudio is buggy! For example, I had compiled 

OpenOfice4 with GCC while SunStudio failed in many cases and I could not
proceed! It makes no sense to waste time and energy with this compiler. 

I guess it would be more meaningful to work with CLang than with SunStudio.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Has anyone successfully built a new firefox on OI?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

I talked to the devs at Firefox at the time and they said that SunStudio was 
the only compiler that had been used to get 

Firefox compiled ... I think the assumption in the code is that Solaris = 
SunStudio.

I have compiled XULrunner with GCC and it works. Now, Linux compils with GCC 
and I am sure it will compile with
GCC! However, one needs to set CC=gcc otherwise it assumes it is the SunStudio 
C compiler.

 Experiences like this are in fact the reason, why I no longer upload the diffs
 since 2009 (as I did do from April 2006 on).
 I wanted to, but every time somebody like you bashes me. On Illumos-discuss it
 was the same, only worse.


I am not really sure about this.


 You blame me for uploading some bins for free, that any person can download 
 free
 of charge, and that's what continues to generate more than a Terabyte of
 downloads per year from opensxce.org (Al Hopper pays for all that since 
 2006!).
 


No one is blamig you. I just pointed out that we need source for an Open Source
project. If you cannot or do not want to release your patches please do not
post nonsene! 

 

 I uploaded not my diffs, because of you and folks like you.

That's bullshit and everyone understands why! 




 But the src itself was provided by Illumos, Sun/Oracle and is easily 
 available.
 If you are not capable of building it, is it also my fault?


Again you are taking nonsense. Please stop! 



 How many 0.000% of the time I worked for free on OpenSolaris have _YOU
 done anything for free for OpenSolaris?
 

For starters I have spend many hours figuring out how to compile OpenOffice
and once I managed I posted all my patches to my blog and most of them are
already in the source tree of Libreoffice and OpenOffice. I have done the same
thing with many other projects (e.g., TeXLive sources). Now, tell me where did 

you contribute? I can of course imagine: nowehere!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

A few days ago I downloaded the latest sources of openjdk8in order to build a 
32bit binary.
The build process finished and it created the required images. Now, there is no 
file 

libnpjp2.soso there is no Java plugin for Firefox. I have also checked 
jdk1.8.0_31

and there is no file libnpjp2.so there! Now according to the following Web page:

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_plugin.html

there is Java plugin for both i386 and amd64 systems! My simple question is:
Where is the Java plugin?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

 Its now named libjavaplugin.so, the old libnpjp2.so is not supported.
 But that new plugin does not work with the older firefox 31.x series,
 so stay with Java 7 for that. It works with Firefox 37.
 

$ pwd
/usr/jdk/instances/jdk1.8.0_31
$ find . -name libjava*
./jre/lib/amd64/libjava_crw_demo.so
./jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so

 

So where is this plugin? I am asking because I suspect that Oracle has dropped 
the
Java plugin for Solaris  friends. But the plugin is included for Linux and 
other
supported platforms:

 As said, OpenJDK is not Oracle JDK and has NO browser plugins.
Some times one makes some intuitive assumptions which obviously most of the
times do not hold... Thus I thought it was clear that I was talking about 

the Oracle JDK. So to be absolutely clear, I cannot find the browser plugin in

You can only get the plugin for Java 7, Java 8 for Solaris is 64 bit only, 
because Solaris runs on servers 

and the plugin was 32 bit only.


OK but why is there a plugin for both 32 and 64 bit Linux systems?

If you compile OpenJDK, using IcedTea, you should be able to get a plugin 
working for you.


That is exactly what I am doing right now.

 The 64-bit binaries do not contain deployment tools such as Java Web Start

Required? I guess this is a clever way to say that we provide no support for
Solaris. But of course they do provide support for Linux.

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

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

 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.



Really? I am deeply touched!


 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 real problem is that OI has no community---just people who contribute
almost nothing (of course there are brilliant exceptions...) and who are
always critical about this and about that. Firefox is being compiled on
Indiana 134 and that's the problem. In the past I compiled gimp 2.8 on
the same system and although it worked just fine, when I tried on OpenIndiana
and a friend tried on Solaris 11, it did not work at all. So be my guest
and compile it on your system and make it work! Adobe Acrobat 9.4.1, the
latest version for Solaris does not work as it should. Adobe stopped shipping
binaries for Solaris, guess why? As about the drivers, why don't you work
on the new driver? Linux was made what it is today because many people
worked and contributed code for various projects. Once there was some
rumors that a team of people would work in German university to build
things, I guess nothing happened. Yet this would be an ideal experiment
since students have the potential and the enthusiasm required for such
a project. So instead of reporting such things, please try to improve the
situation!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Σχετ: Re: USB 2 performance

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Wait a moment! The problem is indeed related to the FAT32 implementation (so 
sad noone took over the task to improve the code but then Solaris drivers are 
unnecessary complicated) but who said there is an NTFS driver? You have to use 
fuse to mount NTFS formated disks and I have no idea how to ebable automount 
with such a setup.

Hello,

I have asked these same questions in the past. The problem is that it is not
easy to port the BSD driver to Solaris because it has a very strange and 

counterintuitive USB implementation. Writing the driver from scratch is out
of question...

There are a few things that must find their way into the kernel or else...
KMS, USB3, UDFS. The problem is that most people have no idea how to write
a driver...

Easy:

A) clone the repo

B) run ./MAKE_WORLDx.sh
(if you run into headers related errors until you correct some pieces, 
that's normal - but happens at different places from system to system)

Alternatively: For users of Sun/Oracle's SFW/userland derived userlands 
everything is prepared ready to run under oracle-userland-integration/.

C) for SVR4 package creation, such as on OpenSXCE, TribbliX, Sun SXCE11

Good luck and happy coding :)



A few words which I cannot keep untold, not possible:

https://github.com/OpenSXCE-org/FireFox-43-port-for-all-OpenSolaris-distros/tree/master/README_INSTALLATION/





DONATION: FireFox43.0b3 pkg and src in GitHub unleashed  (initial version 
x86/x64 only, SPARC next week [if wanted], Illumos-x86/x64 kernel patch for 
flash-plugin support also next week if wanted]*, also DRM/KMS for Intel can* be 
released any time, also my openXsun patches and a SPARC-OpenIndiana)

  * := unless some so far unknown non-contributor that one never saw here for 
months suddenly opens his western bigmouth and urges me away once again.


Martin B. aka OpenSXCE.org (_HE_!) herewith **donates** 6 hyper-fulltime weeks 
of on average 15 unpaid hours per day (no joke, btw including weekends) to the 
OpenSXCE/DilOS/Illumos/OpenSolaris/Sun-Solaris/Oracle-Solaris/OpenIndiana/Hipster
 (and all other OpenSolaris based distros') communities.

Originally he wanted to publish this stuff in April (at the time for FireFox37 
which he then after certain events only published as binary package, which can 
still be obtained from http://opensxce.org/.FF/37/i386/). But testing the water 
faced him with egoistic GIMME GIMME MOAR _demands*_, rather than any 
noticable support, like last time when he published OpenSXCE, like last time 
when he had created the SPARC-OpenIndiana LiveDVD, like last time when he 
released SPARC-Xorg in 2006, like last time when he published the Qemu port to 
SPARC-Solaris hosts in 2006, like last time when [...]

Folks called him a "capitalist", only because he dared to ask for some (so 
called) "donations".
Look how foolish this is:  A capitalist is somebody who does something for a 
profit. Profit would mean getting more - (a lot!) more - than having invested, 
rather than getting back maybe 5% of the actual costs (electricity, computer, 
hdd, food, powerdrinks, room, all bills in Germany are extremely high), plus 
additionally getting nothing for the actual time spent nor any other reward for 
the lack of income during all this time spent. Even a toilet-cleaner is rich in 
contrast, because he does get something for his time.

Who doesn't know (or understand) the difference between M.B. (who spent more 
than ten [probably more than twenty] thousand unpaid hours on OpenSolaris 
community related work since 2005 [and at Blastwave since 2003) should read: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitalist_mode_of_production_%28Marxist_theory%29

"Anti-Social Capitalist" ???
--->>  That's not him who loves OpenSolaris so much that he ruined his career.
NOPE: That's most readers of this mailing list, who only show up once in 2 
years to make some useless one-liner comment.
And if they do, then only to criticize those few real OpenIndiana contributors 
that are really working on this (Hipster team!).
Yesterday there were such comments again (like "Hipster is going nowhere" or 
"write up instructions").
Thos instructions are on the openindiana page for years. But only those truly 
interested in contributing something would come across them, rather than some 
show-offs and time-wasters who can only blame and complain (the referred post 
was only a single example, other mailing list members are much worse).
True Anti-Social beings are those biz owners or well paid biz-admins who deploy 
OI countless times for commercial installations while keeping all the 1000's of 
Dollars for themselves, rather than giving anything back to the Hipster team.
I must say: It is a mistake that those few working on Hipster are giving it 
away for free.

There seems to be a couple of switches in firefox
to actually disable the download, see this page
how it is done in Fedora:


Note that for H264/265, you also need the libav AAC
gstreamer plugin.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] openh264

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,


Yesterday I realized that there is a new plugin for firefox the openh264 plugin.
I tried to compile it and with a few tricks I managed to compile it and to
create the plugin. I tried the installation instructions for Fedora

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OpenH264

but the plugin does not work. I am using Firefox ESR 38.2.1 

Is it possible that the Firefox build has disabled support for
openh264?

I have tried to boot with a DVD but again Xorg fails to start.
I assume this is the equivalent of trying without a configuration
file. Yesterday I checked the latest nVidia driver and it has support
for Xorg 1.20 and we still use Xorg 1.7

Great idea! And this is very good idea to have young people getting

Your frustration is more than legitimate considering your dedication.

Regarding your work on Intel KMS it is indeed important to get more people
to provide testing and feedback.
Maybe Nikola at least will be able to do so but it would be nice to expand
the circle ;)

When I have the time I will upload kernel dumps and logs I collected and
post a message to the ML to keep you updated.

Thanks !

I am bit confusing. What Martib did is very important for our OS. At the moment
we can only use nVIDIA graphics cards and this happens only because Oracle still
supports Solaris 10. In fact, once KMS works flawless, people can work on making
the ATI driver usable. And the next step would be to port the open source nVIDIA
driver. This means that people will be able to run OI on almost any kind of 
computer!
Now, why 4 people have expressed their gratitute I don't know! But maybe they 
are
too shy to step forward :P :P :P

[OpenIndiana-discuss] D-sub out of range

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

There are some machines that run various versions of OpenIndiana. Until 
recently, these
machines had an old PHILIPS 107P5 monitor. Now we have replaced these monitors 
with

LG Flatron E1942 LCDs. Based on the previous xorg.conf file I created a new one 
but
when Xorg starts I always get a 


D-SUB 

OUT OF RANGE 
95.5 kHz / 120 Hz

message. I am attaching the old xorg.conf file, the new one and the XOrg log 
file.
NB. the modline was created using 

http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl

Any help and/or assistance would be really appreciated!

one can read that

[OpenIndiana-discuss] opensxce down?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

It seems that the site 


http://opensxce.org
 
is down. And I cannot find the test binaries for 

Intel KMS. BTW, when one my systems starts
it shows a garbled screen and after a while
the system reboots. Now, Solaris 11.3 shows
exactly the same garbled screen but after a while
the screen is fixed and everything is OK.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] libusb-1.0

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

Recently I purchased a new digital camera (it was bargain!).
I took a few pictures and I wanted to see if I can use my
box to download the images to a hard disk. I used gtkam
and gphoton2. Nothing worked. After some google search 

I realized that only the latest version of gphoton2 

supports my camera. So I decided to compile libgphoton2,
gphoton2 and gtkam. Instead of using the old libusb, I
used the libusb-1.0. I have used  the follwoing patches


https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/tree/oi/hipster/components/library/libusb-1/patches

to compile libusb-1.0. Then I compiled libgphoto2, etc. Also, I "installed"
ugen following the instructions at

https://github.com/yannrouillard/opencsw-pkg/blob/master/libgphoto2/trunk/files/solaris-10-usb-digital-camera-howto.txt

When I use atkam as simple user it fails to detect my camera but when I use it 
as root, it works just fine.
This is really a good development!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] new hipster installation

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

Finally I managed to install hipster on my computer at home. My computer had 3 
hard disks (2 SATA and 1 IDE).
One of the SATA disks was defective so I copied everything on it on the other 
SATA disk. I removed the defective
disk and I installed a new disk where the new version of the OS is installed. 
When I started the system I chose 

the el_GR.UTF-8 locale. I chose also a proper keyboard but the Greek keyboard 
was not working properly. In fact,
I could enter vowels with tonos (an accent). The solution: the file 


/usr/share/X11/locale/el_GR.UTF-8/Compose

is wrong! The one that comes with the Xorg sources (OK after some processing) 
is the correct file.

Apart from this everything works the expected way

Hello,

I am looking for motheboards that can be used to build
a system where I can install /hipster. To my disappointment
all motherboards are unsupported! All of them have UEFI

people willhave no problem using it. For example,I tested the previous binary

I know that someone has already reported this. But I have also
noticed that when one choses the Host Audio Driver, it always

why there is a problem with sound. Why this happens is something
I do not know.

  Hello,

Last night I realized that my main desktop has a serious

of buying one of these motherboards:

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4311#sp

Could you please let me know if /hipster can be installed
to a machine having either of these? I will buy a separate
nVIDIA card so do not "worry" about graphics support.
Also, if you any other better suggestion please let me know.
I need a new computer ASAP!

It is a matter of interpretation. Some years ago I was getting many messages
in the solaris-x86 mailing list and now I get one every six months... This 

is an indication that people are not using Solaris anymore. Going further
I would say that Oracle is not making money from Solaris, or at least the
money they were expecting. If Oracle is not making money from Solaris, they 

will shut it down or they will denote it, just like they did with OpenOffice. 

Of course, Apache Open Office is a total failure but this is another story.

They could not do otherwise and that is why they gave it away.
In fact, who would buy OpenOffice when LibreOffice could do the
same things and it was free! There was no profit for them. And 

although they have "donated" to the "community", they cannot
modify the code so to replace the compiler for Solaris-like
systems to GCC and so it is impossible to compile it under any
Solaris-like system. Obviously, it does not compile under Solaris
either. Big donation!

But I am stopping here. I will not reply to any message on this topic
any more.

Hello,

First of all, when I say libGLEW I mean the one from the following URL:

http://glew.sourceforge.net/

Now I see that somehow I took 1.13.0 for 1.3.0 but still:


$ cd /usr/lib/
$ find . -name "libglew*"
$ find . -name "libGLEW*"
./libGLEWmx.so.1.13
./libGLEW.so
./libGLEWmx.so
./libGLEW.so.1.13.0
./libGLEWmx.so.1.13.0
./libGLEW.so.1.13


There is no 64bit binary!

During last August I tried to send a message and it was not posted tothe list. 
Then I tried to send a test message and it was not posted again.The second one 
was posted but not immediately. So  I concluded that forsome reason I am 
blocked. Now, I wanted to explain to people why I was 
posting the message about the XHCI driver to the OI list while it 
clearlybelonged to some other list. That's all. I have also to add that I 
wasreceiving mails from the list for some time but I haven;t received 
anythingfor sometime. Maybe I have deleted my subscription and I do not 
remember this.
But it would be nice to send my initial message about the UBS3 driver tothe 
person who works on it, just in case this can be proved useful to him.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI + MATE + KMS DVD

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I have tried the latest OI + MATE + KMS DVD on a system
and I said it works just fine even with VESA. This machine
has an old nVIDIA card so the driver does not work with it.
I have to install an old version of the driver. However, 

the machine has an Intel processor so it should detect that
this instead. This did not happen. First I have noticed the
following:

jack@openindiana:/kernel/drv/amd64$ pwd
/kernel/drv/amd64
jack@openindiana:/kernel/drv/amd64$ ldd i915 
warning: ldd: i915: is not executable
misc/drm =>  (file not found)


There is no file /kernel/misc/drm but of course
there is file /kernel/misc/amd64/drm. Similarly,
I get 


jack@openindiana:/kernel/misc/amd64$ pwd
/kernel/misc/amd64
jack@openindiana:/kernel/misc/amd64$ ldd drm 
warning: ldd: drm: is not executable
misc/agpmaster =>(file not found)
misc/gfx_private =>  (file not found)


I am not entirely sure nut maybe this the
reason why the intel hardware is not detected.

In addition, there are no drivers in /kernel/drv
which means that there are no 32bit drivers. 

Obviously, this may explain why my 32bit netbook
failed to boot.

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong.

A.S.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Nobody for whom OI/Hipster Mate on i915/KMS is working fine wants to report?

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

As I reported yesterday I have tested the live DVD on a system that has an 
Intel processor.
The system is running a pre-KMS version of Xorg where the i915 is working. Here 
are the details:

node name:  display

When I try the live DVD on this machine I see a black screen.
In the file driver_aliases that Martin supplied ther was the
following entry:


i915 "pci8086,42"

I guess but I am not sure that the graphics hardware should work.
Is there anything I can do to help resolve this problem?

[OpenIndiana-discuss] __deregister_frame_info_bases

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I am trying to compile nspluginwrapper but there are a few problems.
I think I have fixed all the problems and now it compiles and links
with no problem. In order to "install" the linux flash plugin I have
to enter the following commands:


$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -i
Auto-install plugins from /home/apostolo/.mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /home/apostolo/.mozilla/plugins
$ nspluginwrapper -v -a -u
Auto-update plugins from /home/apostolo/.mozilla/plugins
Looking for plugins in /home/apostolo/.mozilla/plugins
ld.so.1: npconfig: fatal: relocation error: file /lib/libsocket.so.1: symbol 
__deregister_frame_info_bases: referenced symbol not found
Killed

Obviously, the second command fails but I have no idea what is the problem.
Since I cannot post messages sto Illumos-discuss, I am posting here in the
hope that someone might have an idea what might cause this problem.

A.S.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] boot failure

[Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss]

Hello,

I have an old netbook where I had installed OpenSolaris and later on
I had upgraded to the second release of OpenIndiana. The system is a
bit slow (it has an atom processor) but it is OK for basic things.
Recently, I downloaded the latest OpenIndiana DVD, the one with MATE +
KMS, and I tried to boot from the DVD. The process stops while detecting
the mouse and this is really strange. See the following URL


https://img42.com/T3ViR

for an image that shows exactly where it stopped. BTW, I have tried the
same DVD on a Desktop system where I installed the previous release of
/hipster with no problem. Again the system stopped. I did not have time
to check where it stopped, but I can check the day after tomorrow. Is
this a problem related to hardware, software, what? Any suggestion/idea/help
would be appreciated.

Let's hope we will make this work. In pronciple it should work as

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Add Users in MATE

Hello,

Today I installed OI on a computer from tthe OI+MATE+KMS DVD.
The interesting thing is that it works just fine with VESA!
Of course I installed the nVIDIA driver but it is really impressive.
Now, I would like to add one more user to the system but there is no
GUI tool to do so. Am I missing something? Also, when changing themes
the system asks for GTK+ things, where are these?

Thanks a lot for this package! It works great! I have checked it with a
