2017-03-18 Thread Ron Dawson
We've updated some fairly old HP Z400 workstations from OI_151a9 to Hipster with no discernable hardware issues. The only issues we had were with HP network printers no longer working, but that had nothing to do with the hardware. - Ron On Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 2:15 AM Harry Putnam

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice

2015-06-10 Thread ron . dawson
Libre Office also benefits a bit from the licenses they use. Libreoffice can integrate OpenOffice changes while OpenOffice cannot do the same thing with LibreOffice source code. This kind of stacks the deck against OpenOffice to an extent.   ___

[OpenIndiana-discuss] libgnomeprintui-2.2

This is more of a Solaris 11 question than an OI question, but perhaps someone can help out. I've been trying to move an application from an old Solaris 10 SPARC V440 server to a newer T4 Sparc server running Solaris 11.1. The application has a libgnomeprintui-2.2 dependency. I have

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Oracle Stops Sun Ray development

I heard about this earlier today. I'm not sure what this will do to our plans to replace our old Sun Ray 1 and 1Gs with the 3 Plus. Currently we're running off Solaris 10 on SPARC. I have not tried it yet with OI or Solaris 11. Daniel, were there any difficulties getting the SRSS 5 software

Interesting. I wonder how OI 151a7 would compare to Solaris 11.1 on his older hardware? I have Solaris 11.1 installed on one of our servers and have not noticed any of these issues, but this is a newish Sun-Oracle box with 48 GB RAM and I installed it from scratch to 11.1 so it's not a good

Can we run OI on UltraSPARC? I thought it was still only x86? I have a number of old SunFire V250s, V240 and V440 that I'd be interested in keeping going for a while longer yet. I had missed the notice about the official Solaris 11 not working on UltraSPARC III/IV. On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at

I'd have to agree with Paul. Even though I've been disappointed by quite a few things they've done since the acquisition, I'm still interested in what Oracle has to say regarding Solaris 11. I still need to decide on a post-Sun road map for a number of systems so I'd be interested in hearing all
