[osol-discuss] Update on Toshiba OpenSolaris laptops?

2009-05-27 Thread Ché Kristo
From http://www.opensolaris.com/toshibanotebook/index.html

At the moment, Toshiba OpenSolaris laptops can only be shipped within the 
United States. UK distribution is anticipated for early May 2009, and 
additional Worldwide locations later this year.

Any chance of an update on this?

I fall into the additional Worldwide locations category (Australia) but am 
wondering whether that is going to ever happen as the early May 2009 UK 
distribution doesn't even seem to be on the horizon :-|

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris always on CD. Why not DVD ?

2009-05-27 Thread Ché Kristo
 Hi
 
 So far, OpenSolaris is bundled in a Live CD. If we
 need more packages, then we must connect to
 Repository and download it
 
 Why not bundles in a DVD, and put some more packages
 ?
 
 Is this have something to do with Sun's CDDL ?
 
 I just find it convenient for using Fedora DVD, and
 more practical and faster since lots of packages are
 already there, and it is helpful with initial setup
 where internet connection is not available
 
 Thanks

This has already been discussed: 
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=103866tstart=0

And no it has absolutely nothing to do with CDDL :-)

Re: [osol-discuss] open solaris 2009.05 release

2009-05-05 Thread Ché Kristo
If you follow discussion here you'll notice that the name has changed from 
2009.05 to 2009.06 for reasons undeclared...

So at this stage during June I guess.

If you have specific detailed issues or enhancements you wish to file head over 
to http://defect.opensolaris.org/ and file these things in the appropriate 
place.

You'll find however that some of the issues you have listed in your post here 
are not issues in [Open]Solaris anyway. For instance OpenSolaris by default 
uses ZFS which does not need defragmentation as you've suggested.

Your suggestions about support and the costings you should take to Sun. Look I 
really can't see Sun participating in such a low margin operation as support 
requests for US$4 ... but if you think there is a market for such a service and 
that it can be sustainable as a business go ahead and give it a go yourself!

Re: [osol-discuss] The future of the IPS system

2008-10-19 Thread Ché Kristo
If you are seeing speed issues where you think there shouldn't be you can 
always file a bug. Since the initial release of 2008.05 i've noticed 
significant improvements in IPS and the package manager GUI.

If you are going to the effort of compiling all of your software why not make 
the extra effort to make either a SVR4 or IPS package so that others don't have 
to duplicate the effort. If the community collaborates together on things like 
this then yes, we could easily rival the likes of Debian on your three measures 
of success; selection, updates and speed.

Re: [osol-discuss] Sun incompetence continues to fragment communities

2008-09-13 Thread Ché Kristo
Andrew I see that your position rests on the com/org site split. The fact is 
that the sites cater to two different audiences. Much the same as Mozilla have 
done with the Mozilla org and com sites.

It goes something like this:

 - The .COM site is of home of the OpenSolaris product, namely the binary 
livecd (currently 2008.05). It is focused on consumers of what the opensolaris 
community has produced.

 - The .ORG site is the home of the OpenSolaris community, it focuses on the 
code, the technologies, the communities, the projects and governance.

Calling Sun execs incompetent due to your lack of understanding is not helpful 
and I do hope you will take a lesson from this and in the future try to be a 
bit more constructive. If there is one particular individual exec that you can 
see that exemplifies your assertion why don't you get in contact with Simon 
Phipps who has openly stated that if you think that Sun is not doing the right 
thing by the community go here and lodge your concerns so that they can be 
addressed: http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/ombudsman.jsp

I have created a petition for Codeweavers to support Crossover Office, the Wine 
based Windows application support layer to Solaris x86, OpenSolaris (Indiana) 
and hopefully other distributions of OpenSolaris. If you would like to see 
Codeweavers support Solaris x86 or would like to support those in this 
community that do, please sign the petition to help us communicate how much we 
want this.

The petition is located here: 
http://synesius.wordpress.com/petition-codeweavers-for-solaris-x86-support/

Thanks for your help.

Che Kristo

Re: [osol-discuss] Any plans to update the roadmap?

2008-05-11 Thread Ché Kristo
Tim,

Obviously you aren't too happy with the path being taken by Indiana and noone 
wants to see your opinion excluded around here. The mainline Sun Solaris stuff 
is well and truly out of the hands of this community, however Indiana belongs 
to this community so of course your feedback to the Inidana community can be 
made at http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=13

As for dumbing down I fear that this sort of mentality will leave *Solaris to 
die off as a legacy platform due to lack of mindshare. Instead of calling what 
has taken place dumbing down I would refer to it as including a broader set 
of users who otherwise would be [u]excluded[/u].

If you could make specific reference to things that irk you and file them over 
at defects.opensolaris.org that would be way more helpful than posting 
generalisations on a mailing list.

For the SXDE stuff you are better off contacting your Sun Rep and asking them 
what they are hoping to offer in it's place as that is a commercial matter 
between you (and possibly your company) and Sun Inc.

Re: [osol-discuss] OpenSolaris and Apple Hardware

Last time I checked Apple kit wasn't any cheaper than similar spec'd out Sun 
box. Could you please provide direct references so we can see what you are 
looking at.

Also be mindful of support levels, warranty, supportability and so on. Sun 
support their boxes for longer than any other vendor I have come across. Apple 
the second least (toshiba being the worst). Is the server running a mission

[osol-discuss] A call for speakers - Sydney OSUG

2008-02-19 Thread Ché Kristo
A lot has happened in the OpenSolaris community since the Sydney OpenSolaris 
User Group last held a meeting in North Sydney to discuss the *up and coming* 
release of Indiana. Glynn did a great job of laying out the path ahead for us 
all in what was an exciting time for our community.

Since then a much more polished Preview 2 of Indiana has been released, Sun 
have purchased MySQL and Innotek amongst other things.

If you are planning to go through Sydney in the coming months (tech days people 
i’m looking at you!) and have something exciting and informative to share with 
the community I would love to hear from you:

Possible topics include:

Databases
Storage
Virtualisation
Java
SAS
Indiana
ODF
Packaging (IPS)

Leave comments at my blog if you are interested: http://synesius.wordpress.com/

[osol-discuss] The OpenSolaris Project

2008-01-21 Thread Ché Kristo
Call me pedantic but isn't the term project to describe the activities 
carried out by this community a bit of a stretch. Sure there are projects 
within the community but to call this entire organization a project is a bit of 
a stretch.

The Chartered Management Institute define a project as …

“an activity that has a beginning and an end
which is carried out to achieve a particular purpose
to a set quality
within given time constraints
and cost limits”.

Maybe we could look at this community being a software Foundation like Apache 
or define it correctly as a program which unfortunately has other 
connotations in our industry.

Thoughts anyone?

Re: [osol-discuss] Cisco VPN Client for Solaris x86, anyone?

2007-12-10 Thread Ché Kristo
 Hello!
 
 I don't read this alias normally, but I was pointed
 to it by folks.  I'm also using JIVE to read this one
 instead of my normal e-mail.
 
 Punchin started its life as a test-tool for Solaris
 IPsec and IKE during the S9 bringup of IKE(v1).
 Punchin is different than other remote-access
 solutions because it doesn't augment IKE to perform
 user authentication and internal-address deployment.
 If one were to put the all-seeing packet sniffer
 (with a small amount of client and server
 observability, too) between a punchin client and
  server, you'd see something like this:
 
 * IKE Phase I (self-signed certificates)
 * IKE QM for diagnostic ping
 * ESP-protected ping
 * IKE QM for UDP port 2112 for setup (maybe TCP
 coming soon)
 * ESP-protected UDP port 2112 exchange
  - Request
 - Challenge (e.g. Password or Token-card
  challenge)
 - Response
  - Failure or Success(with internal IP address)
 (client then rewhacks routing tables and plumbs an
 ip.tun0, server plumbs an ip.tunN)
 * IKE QM for Tunnel Mode,
 internal-local==previously-asssigned,
  internal-remote==default
* ESP-protected internal traffic.
 nce we got NAT-Traversal working and we discovered
 cisco wasn't going to do an Sol x86 client, punchin
 took on a life of its own within Sun.  We've also
 found bugs in other IPsec implementations while
 attempting to port punchin to those platforms.
 
 Punchin's nice because it's just a set of scripts and
 one binary application (two if you're using MacOS X)
 that control the OS's built-in IPsec functionality.
 Most VPN clients require kernel modules that have
 varying levels of stability or rely on undocumented
 or unstable interfaces.  You'll never get a kernel
 panic with punchin unless your OS is broken (which
 is why punchin is such a nice test tool for
  Solaris/OpenSolaris).
 
 We haven't open-sourced it mostly because it's not
 Team IPsec's day jobs.  One idea we've been kicking
 around is putting the source in /usr/demo ala. the
 DTrace or MDB examples.  Nothing we do in punchin is
 encumbered (even though our IKEv1 is encumbered
 w.r.t. source only), so it's just a matter of time
 and resources, something we're short on with Labelled
 IPsec and IKEv2 + RFC 430x coming up.
 
 BTW, our IKEv2 will be open-source, and if you hang
 out on networking- or security- discuss we'll have
 something to say there soon.  Also, IKEv2 has the
 IKEv1 hacks baked-into the spec, so punchin's
 functionality could (and probably should) be subsumed
 by a decent IKEv2 implementation.
 
 Does that answer everyone's questions?
 
 Dan McD.

So would this solution be compatible with the existing Cisco solutions that 
many companies have?

Re: [osol-discuss] Middle management at Sun destroys OpenDS is OpenSolaris next?

2007-11-30 Thread Ché Kristo
   How do you expect us Sun employees to react
   to mail like this? 
  
  Hi Jim,
  
  I don't know about Shawn, but I'll write for
 myself:
  
  I expect Sun employees to forward the blog URI
  directly to Jonathan Schwartz.
  I also expect Sun employees to back up their now
  former colleague and show that they have spine,
 and
  complain to Jonathan about this incident.
  
  I expect Sun employees to stand together with the
  community and fight back, and communicate very
  clearly to Sun management that such incidents will
  not be tolerated in the future, by reporting said
  middle management to the big-boss-head-honcho,
 namely
  Mr. Schwartz.
  
  Stand together; fight for what is right; fight
 your
  yourself; you could be next.
 
 In light of other info posted in one of the threads
 on this topic,
 I think there ought to be some fact-finding before
 going into
 accusatory mode.  I don't see how it affects the
 OpenSolaris
 community directly _and_ immediately, but should some
 clarity
 (free of an axe to grind on either side) emerge, we
 might do well
 to stay informed about it.  As such, more URLs to
 pertinent details,
 and less rhetoric, might actually have a point to it.

Agreed, we'll wait and see what transpires and go from there.

 There are no middle managers here on these lists.
 There are only project 
 managers who are directly involved in OpenSolaris and
 engineers of one

Jim, it's not often that I disagree with your insights but on this I find 
myself firmly in opposition. Let's be realistic here, Sun of late has been 
acting like a benevolent dictator within this community. So many decisions have 
been made with little to no consultation or involvement with the community. 
There have been numerous times where Sun has either forced it's will upon the 
community, kept the community in the dark or outright abandoned projects with 
little to no communication. Sun has broken it's social contract in this and 
other communities. 

If you think that posts such as Shawn's are disappointing then i am truly 
disappointed. Dissent is healthy - where would the world be without those who 
bravely speak against injustice. Are you disappointed with Bonhoeffer, 
Wilberforce or Gandhi?

Shawn is not sending this out because he wants Sun employees to feel lesser, he 
is not trying to send this community down a spiral of chaos - what he is trying 
to do is help this community realize and address it's faults. Particularly Sun 
and the way it interacts with the community.

And as for the poor excuse that no middle managers read these forums - let's 
just hope that the community kicks up enough of a stink that they do sit up and 
listen.

We all hope as Neil suggested in his post that this is an isolated incident 
arising from a rogue middle manager. Given the whole fiasco we had around the 
use of the OpenSolaris brand for Indiana it would be good judgement for Sun to 
reply to this news in a very transparent and honest fashion. I would like to 
know:
 * Is this sort of behavior from middle management condoned by the senior 
executive?

 * If not, what will be done to make good on the damage done to the OpenDS 
community?

 * As these staff members were members of the community paid by Sun to act on 
their behalf will there be any sort of apologies/reparations made to these 
staff for the appalling treatment they received?

 * What guarantees can Sun offer to other Open Source communities in which it 
has the controlling hand?

 * What are Sun's plans for the future of OpenDS?

Hopefully this has been pulled for expediency by Sun Legal and once everyone is 
clear that it is GPL2 only it will be put back. It would be great to see the 
details of how this became re-licensed - do you have any more info on this Jörg?

Re: [osol-discuss] Opensolaris as my main laptop OS, advice needed !?

2007-10-28 Thread Ché Kristo
 *) i am wondering what would be the better road to
 take, should I download an run Opensolaris Indiana or
 SXCE75/76/77, or will they be available at all when
 indiana is released? How does indiana compare to SXCE

SXCE at least will be discontinued, SXDE will likely continue as will the 
express program

 and will it include the same
 polish/jds/packages/staroffice/etc. SXCE does

It will be a while before you would consider Indiana polished, keep in mind 
that the release this month is a preview release and will include some pretty 
drastic changes.

 currently? The idea of a package manager is really
 tempting for me, that is the one feature i am missing
 in SXCE.

You and I both

 
 *) wil indiana have binary nvidia drivers (and compiz
 fusion 0.6 as well)?
 

You will have to install the  nvidia graphics drivers from 
http://www.nvidia.com/object/solaris_display_100.14.19.html as they are not 
re-distributable (Indiana must be redistributable)

 *) do things like hibernate/resume/laptop hot
 keys/laptop stuff in general work properly in
 OpenSolaris (i have a dell precision m65 laptop).

I understand that Intel are currently doing some work around ACPI in 
OpenSolaris, in short, it is coming.
 
 *) is the SXCE x86 edition mainly 32bits, 64bits or
 both?

both

Re: [osol-discuss] Status of an OpenHardware Sparc project

2007-09-25 Thread Ché Kristo
Although lacking the knowledge to go near this project I do find it very 
interesting that the design will be cheap and have a power consumption of 
25-50% of a comparable ARM design

If that is the case I would love to see this productized. Imagine the JavaFX 
Mobile Stack running atop an OpenSolaris Kernel on an OpenSparc chip. That sort 
of technology (and openness) could be seriously disruptive!

Re: [osol-discuss] Basic OpenSolaris License Questions

2007-09-25 Thread Ché Kristo
If you are seeking legal advice you should really consult your lawyer.

For a basic understanding of the license which most of OpenSolaris is under see 
here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/about/faq/licensing_faq/

Anything further than that would be advice unique to the legal system in your 
country of origin and your unique circumstances.

OpenSolaris is a trademark of Sun Microsystems as you can see at the bottom of 
every page here...you really need to consult Sun for those sorts of questions.

Satish

Spamming 5 community discussion groups is not going to encourage anyone to help 
you, it will merely annoy people. Eric Raymond wrote a definitive guide to 
asking smart questions which you should read before asking anyone to help you, 
you can find it here: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

[osol-discuss] Single sign on equivelent for OpenSolaris

2007-08-23 Thread Ché Kristo
I am posting this to [i]discuss[/i] as it covers topics across a few 
communities.

I am wondering whether anyone has thought about the possibility of OpenSolaris 
acting as a replacement for a Windows domain controller. Typically the response 
to this would be to use Samba but as we all know configuring samba as a PDC or 
BDC is an overly convoluted process well beyond the reach of many sys admins. 

In the past I was impressed with the ability to have single sign on across 
Linux, Mac and Windows platform using Novells 'Netware Client' to sign onto 
Novell Directory Services (eDirectory). Could we in the OpenSolaris community 
develop something similar to this? 

I am not proposing anything here, just asking if anyone has any ideas.

Re: [osol-discuss] OT: Sun hardware to disappear?!?!

2007-08-16 Thread Ché Kristo
Why would they want to leave the hardware market? Are they not turning a profit?

I heard someone mention a potential buyout by IBM, this sounds more plausible 
than Sun leaving the hardware market...not that IBM and Sun would be a very 
good culture fit.

Re: [osol-discuss] Solaris thinks that my standalone desktop is a huge network....

2007-08-03 Thread Ché Kristo
I think you should look at whether your 'admin' is competent, you say you are 
using Solaris as a desktop and that you have to call support to log in as root 
and have them shut it down...why don't you ask them to assign the permission to 
do so to your user?

Re: [osol-discuss] [Fwd: Sun Device Detection Tool 1.2 is released]

2007-08-02 Thread Ché Kristo
I too am missing the 'Submit to HCL' when running a report for compatability on 
both  Solaris 10 11/06 and Solaris Express, Developer Edition 5/07.

I am running on an XP machine with the following details:

OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
System Manufacturer Dell Inc.
System ModelLatitude D620
System Type X86-based PC
Processor   x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~1995 Mhz
Processor   x86 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6 GenuineIntel ~1995 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date   Dell Inc. A07, 18/12/2006
Hardware Abstraction Layer  Version = 5.1.2600.2180 
(xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Total Physical Memory   1,024.00 MB
Available Physical Memory   247.67 MB

I haven't yet tried running this on my Solaris Box, maybe it will work 
there...but then again my Ultra 20 shouldn't have any problems...
