[osol-discuss] Solaris 11 Express -> Solaris 11 / iBus problems
I know this isn't really OpenSolaris related, but I don't know of a better list. I've just done the pkg image-update to take me from express 151.0.1.12. I tried a couple of weeks ago, and was left with an unusable boot environment. I was left without a graphical screen at a login prompt. My old account was rejected "Login incorrect", and root said "empty password not allowed". I didn't have time then to investigate, so I just booted back into the old environment for a while. I've just tried again, with the same result. Along the way were several messages about services auto-snaphot:* "in conflict" and in maintenance, and "hostname not found: ntp.whatever". No graphics, and no login as above. I won't go through all the reboots into single user mode to fix the situation, but basically the upgrade trashes at least nsswitch.conf, passwd, and shadow and /etc/default/nfs. nsswitch.conf has been moved to properties of service name-service/switch, but the upgrade doesn't take across your old settings, so I had to (in single user mode) svccfg -s name-service/switch setprop config/default = "files nis" setprop config/host = "files dns nis" setprop config/enable_passwd_compat = true end We use NIS with for most stuff with "compat" for passwd. There are dire warnings about compat mode going away, and to use pam.list, but this doesn't cover doing +user1 +user2 +:*:/bin/false as far as I can tell, and we use that a lot so that, e.g., `ls -l` can come up with sensible names even though the users have no access to the local machine. /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow have also had all the `+' entries removed, so those need fixed back to where they were. I can now log in to the X. `su root' doesn't ask for a password (!) What happened to my old root password ?? So - su ; passwd root. Now it won't let me get to root at all, through su or pfexec :-( My home directory is all owened by nobody:nobody. The config from /etc/default/nfs has moved to a property within sharectl. It took me a while to realise it wasn't really a property of nfs/mapid, svcprop shows it as nfs-props/nfsmapid_domain, but svccfg doesn't let you set it there: "nfs-props is not a property group". That's fairly confusing, although it's my fault for not actually reading the new /etc/default/nfs. So anyway, back to single user and sharectl set -p nfsmapid_domain=... nfs svcadm enable rpc/bind svcadm enable nis/client usermod -R root user usermod -P 'Systems Administrator' user Add user ALL=(ALL)ALL to /etc/sudoers for good measure. And I'm in and working. I hope this helps some people. Now I have everything but my gDesklets (I miss my clock ...), which seems to have gone from Accessories, and my input-method, which I need. I was using it before, but it's gone from my taskbar. I go to "System->Preferences->Input Method Selector". It's disabled, so I enable it and select iBus. It tells me to re-login, which I do. Then I go to "System->Preferences->Input Method - iBus" and (re-)configure it. It's all accepted, but no icon appears in the task bar. "ibus-daemon --xim" is running (x2). If I go back into the iBus configuration, it's forgotten my last settings. Any ideas how I can get my input-method working again ? It's a bit of a show-stopper.

Re: [osol-discuss] Why do we need Oracle's permission or vision for OpenSolaris?
On 15/07/2010 22:47, Alasdair Lumsden wrote: IMHO, The Oracle/Sun provided OpenSolaris reference distribution (henceforth referred to as Indiana to avoid confusion) has done the community a disservice, in the sense that it has prevented a community from producing something itself. All the other OpenSolaris based distributions such as Schillix, Nexenta etc all cater for particular niches, but what what's needed is a community produced version of Indiana. One with the same (or at least, similar) goals with an identical/similar architecture including aspects such as IPS, Automated Installer, Zones, etc. As long as Oracle/Sun continue to release their own distribution, the community has no real reason to do so. Well, perhaps now is the time for this to happen. Perhaps what is needed is an agreement with Oracle along the lines of: 1. Oracle agrees to continue to provide the source code for OpenSolaris (nevada), along with constituent parts (such as IPS/pkg). Oracle continue to provide bug and security fixed updates to the closed source binaries. 2. OpenSolaris 2010.xx is never released, but becomes Solaris Next. 3. The community steps up and produces it's own version of Indiana, tracking Solaris Next as best it can in a binary and package compatible way. 4. The community maintains it's own source code repository that developers can commit to, and Oracle takes community improvements that they want. This frees Oracle from their obligation to the community, and allows them to maintain their secrecy and radio silence. But it forges an even stronger community that can stand on it's own legs. Obviously the issue the community has is that we've never had the ability to produce the distribution itself. We don't have the ability to build all the packages that go into the IPS repo, nor produce the Live CD, nor do we have an installer. And of course, finding people to do the actual work would present a significant challenge. The good news is that there is a community out there. There are the community members who have been involved with the OpenSolaris derived distributions. There are ex Sun/Oracle staff who have moved to other companies, such as Nexenta. There are projects such as OSUnix who are trying to produce their own OS from the OpenSolaris codebase by replacing the closed binaries/code (such as the internationalised bits of libc). Not to mention, there's Blastwave and OpenCSW who are already building large amounts of software for Solaris/OpenSolaris, and if one/both decided to contribute, we have a huge source of software packages for the community based distro. If the fragmented OpenSolaris community rallied round and came together, I'm quite confident a community based distribution could thrive. Indeed, if Solaris Next does become an "Oracle Hardware Only" OS, then an entire company providing support for the community based distribution would definitely have legs, and this could potentially afford to pay staff to work on building the distribution full time. Solaris is run by a very large number of people on Dell/HP/etc kit and these users would no doubt be eager to jump onto such a distribution. I'm going to be talking about my thoughts on this at the London OpenSolaris Users Group later this month, if anyone is in London and wants to come along. And of course I'd appreciate peoples comments here on this thread. Alasdair +1 I've added distribution-discuss to this, where I've already tried to say much the same thing, although you put it better. I'm sure there are enough of us out here to get this rolling.

I was thinking of it more as a way to get around the *access* problems Oracle (not Sun) has created, and track the development going on inside Oracle. You don't like IPS, fair enough, but that's clearly going to be Solaris's future, and maybe by the time Solaris Next becomes product, and with our input, it can become a system you can live with. Without it, you can't access the extra and contrib repositories, for instance. Me, I was getting on with it okay until the repositories got frozen. Regardless the idea of a community distro is one that anyone can work with and build on and add to. You CAN NOT do that as things stand today. Why so. What are the problems in doing this ? What information don't we have to build our own repository ? We can work with the source, and provide feedback, bug reports, and code suggestions. Whose gates ? You mean the ones controlled by Oracle ? Do we care anymore ? I do. Let's face it, the vast majority of input to OpenSolaris comes from Oracle, née Sun, engineers. We don't want to just take the code frozen as is, create our own OS, and ignore any changes Oracle are making. Start at the bottom. The closed sources and the i18n issues. Start there. That's good too, let's support the emancipation project, but to me that seems a separate problem. Because right now there is NO way that anyone outside of Oracle can build OpenSolaris without internal people working on closed code bits. We still have access to the closed source bits (okay, they're frozen at '134 for now, but should carry on working for a long while)..

[osol-discuss] Upgrade 133 -> 134, now can't boot anything :-(
I'm sure this should be a FAQ, but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Yesterday I "upgraded" my laptop from 133 to 134. The upgrade went without a hitch, and the fast reboot gave me a working system. I then shut it down, feeling all confident, but now when I try to boot it I just get to the "grub>" prompt. No error messages or anything. I should have been watching this list more closely, but I have no idea where to go from here. Help! What's my next step ? I know I have a working OS on there somewhere (in fact a couple, because I have Windows Vista on there too), but I don't know how to find it. The help at the grub menu is less than helpful. I'm a bit worried, because I upgraded this machine, my work machine, as well, but I don't dare to reboot it now. I was just getting too cocky with the alternative boot environments, and thinking if it all went wrong I could just go back.

[osol-discuss] Non-working external microphone
I have a laptop, running OpenSolaris 128a: System Configuration: TOSHIBA Satellite Pro P300 BIOS Configuration: TOSHIBA V2.7004/14/2008 I've just got myself a pair of headphones with mic for your normal audio use, but I can't get OpenSolaris to see the mic. I *think* I've tried everything, but I'm just checking. In WIndows (Vista), you plug the mic in, and it takes it by default it seems, so it definitely works. In OpenSolaris, it always seems to use the builtin (useless) mic. Under the volume control there are two devices, audiohd#0 (OSS v4 Audio Mixer) and audiohd#1 (OSS v4 Audio MIxer). I've tried selecting both. mixerctl says $ /usr/sbin/mixerctl -C DEVICE CONTROL VALUE POSSIBLE audiohd#1volume 75 0-100 Bad enum index 10 for control 'record-source' audiohd#0volume 88 0-100 audiohd#0speaker 75:75 0-100:0-100 audiohd#0headphones 75:75 0-100:0-100 audiohd#0rear 75:75 0-100:0-100 audiohd#0mic 86:86 0-100:0-100 audiohd#0beep 75 0-100 audiohd#0record-sourcemicmic $ Any ideas ?

[osol-discuss] Marvell Ethernet cards
Help. I've just got a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300, and I was kind of hoping to install OpenSolaris on it dual boot with Windows. I've successfully installed OS2008-05 on it, and it's doing pretty well, but doesn't recognize the ethernet card. This presents itself as a Marvell Technology Group Ltd 0x11ab 0x436c to scanpci. From the Marvell site, I downloaded and installed the yukonx driver, which caused the machine to crash on reboot (NULL pointer dereference in the attach routine). I've just tried the skge driver from http://www.skd.de/e_en, and the machine has hung solidly after doing update_drv -a -i '"pci11ab,436c"' skge Rebooting seems to have got me back in action, but drvconfig says "driver failed to attach" (the update_drv has updated driver_aliases). Of course, I can't do any pkg updates until I've got this interface working. Does anyone know if there a driver out there that works on this card ?

Re: cdrw/cdrecord (Was Re: [osol-discuss] Happy to say I'm posting this from Nexenta!)
Joerg Schilling wrote: The very fact you have to read the cdrecord man page in depth is the issue. This is strange, it seems that you did not realize that it is not possible to use cdrw without reading it's man page. The CLI from cdrw seems to be even worse than the one from cdrecord. The online help from cdrw is not helpful but confusing. This is starting to sound like a personal attack on you Jörg, and I certainly don't mean it that way, but last time I was burning a CD, I certainly thought I should try cdrecord, looked at the man page, did cdrecord -?, and went back to `cdrw -i'. It works, I didn't have to read the man page at all, I couldn't be arsed to work out how to drive cdrecord. I hate all the option=xxx, -longoption, -xyz (can you merge them or not ?), etc. dev=xx.yy.zz ? You what ? It all seems so dd'ish, and people use standard option syntax these days. I used star once, and felt the same way: there's no way I can remember the syntax. I use ufsdump, gcp, or gtar these days. Sorry, I know you contribute a lot to the community and respect what you do, but I can't cope with these odd-ball eccentric commands.

Setting the appropriate flags in /etc/system, the hang ends with: How much memory do you have, and how often does the machine hang on boot? The machines I suffering with all have 3GB memory. I would say they fail one time in three, or there abouts. It depends whether I want them to fail or not :-) Sometimes one of them seems to be in a good mood, and you have to move onto the next to trap a failure. I'd say it was irrelevant whether they were rebooted with init 6 or power-cycled: I've seen failures both ways. I've also seen a hang while PXE booting, but only once (but there again I haven't done it that often). I've got a DL585 running S10U2 here now, but it only has 2GB of RAM. I've rebooted a few time without a hang. Rats. I've 5 DL385's and 1 DL380 with one or two AMD Opteron 280's (385s) or two Intel Xeon's (380) all failing. They all have Smart Array 6i's with 3-6 disks: I wonder if this could be contributing ?
