Dell Laptop Solaris Installation

Hi
I have Dell Inspiron 8100 with P-III, 256 MB RAM.
I would like to install Solaris(Intel) 8 10/01on this.
When I run installation, after device check it gives an error: epb0: M II link not found. and when it asking to enter laguage option, it won't accept character or will accept some wrong characters instead of 1 (For English). I tried with another keyboard also.
Also I want to know what are the major problem I can faced particularly damaging PCMCIA card or TFT screen.

I am running into the same problem with my Solaris x86 installation. For some reason it is not recognizing my keyboard input once it gets to the language selection menu. I was wondering if you had received a workaround as of yet?

Solaris on x86 Dell Laptop - keyboard driver!

Hello,
As some of you may have a Dell Laptop I am asking if anyone has
had any success installing Solaris 8 for Intel. If you have please
drop me a line.
So far I have worked my way past the hangs during the install's
configuration of /dev. I had to remove all references to cardbus in
the "Edit Device" settings of the device configuration assistant.
But then I hit the second problem where the first keypress at the
language selection window sends repeating characters until the keyboard
buffer is full. In other words it goes nuts because the Solaris driver
does not support the Dell Latitude CPi laptop keyboard. I know it is
not a supported configuration but I have little option since Sun are
no longer interested in supporting laptops in Solaris 8.
I already know there is a USB keyboard workaround but I dont
fancy myself hauling around a seperate keyboard just so I can use
Solaris 8.
More specificallly I am looking for driver settings to make the
existing keyboard driver work or an alternative keyboard driver to solve the
issue. Sun can you help out here?
Any suggestions appreciated, especially some input from Sun.

Hi knightweb,
Did you checked the BigAdmin center to know if your box is compatible / known to work ?
The installation program says your drive is RO ? Are you installing from a CD ? If yes, be sure that the disk choosed to the installation is not the CD drive (I don't know Dell 6350 anyway)
Did you tried to broke the last partition if there's one with fdisk ?

Upgrading Graphics for Solaris 8 on Dell laptop

I installed solaris 8 for Intel on a Dell Laptop. I could only get the 16 color option working.
What drivers or patches can I use and where can I get them????

Hi,
I don't know what video card you have, but I just downloaded this porting kit for solaris8 intel. It work perfectly on my desktop Dell 4100. I think it will also work for the dell laptop. The porting kit is NOT XFree86; it only make use of the xfree86 drivers for solaris.

How to configure Solaris 10 on a dell laptop to connect to internet

Hi,
I am student and have installed Solaris 10 on my Dell laptop using SUN's Virtual box. I also have Opensolaris on my laptop that is able to connect to internet using any available wireless because of its auto settings. Can some one please guide me with the steps or tutorial to configure Solaris 10 to connect to internet either by LAN or wireless(preferable)

Please let me know if you need any other information

For a start I would give my interface an inet number:
ifconfig <interface> inet <ip_address>
ifconfig e1000g0 inet 192.168.100.198
...further than that I would need to study.

Oracle Install on Mandrake Linux 9.1 (Dell Laptop 600)

I have a full install of Oracle 10G running on a Dell Laptop using Mandrake Linux 9.1:
First I did an install of the OS, I built the swap file to be 2GIGs, the /oracle partition as 5GIGS and the /home partition as 25GIGS.
I made sure to choose the Development packages and the Office packages, I did not choose any of the WEB and other stuff.
As root, edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
kernel.shmall = 2097152
kernel.shmmax = 2147483648
kernel.shmmni = 4096
kernel.sem = 250 32000 100 128
fs.file-max = 65536
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 65000
As root, issue the following commands at a terminal:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
useradd g oinstall G dba oracle
passwd oracle <supply new password>
You then need to set up the new users environment variables. Edit the file /home/oracle/.bashrc and add the following between the # User specific aliases and functions and the # Source global definitions lines. In Mandrake Linux all I did was edit the /etc/profile file and add the below at the end. This way all users get the added. Works like a charm.
ORACLE_SID=lx10g
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/10g
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH:.
export ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME PATH
You can choose what you like for the ORACLE_SID: it represents what you will eventually call your database.
Make install directories, In my case, for example, I did this:
mkdir /oracle
mkdir /oracle/10g
chown -R oracle:oinstall /oracle
First when you try to run the Universal Installer do the following:
./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs (this gets you by the error on the OS)
Then just follow the normal screens and at the end you should have a complete system. There is a bug in the installer and you will need to re-run the ./runInstaller and selct just the ISQLPlus* and it will then only re-install this package. It seems it misses it during the initial install. I also suggest downloading the Compaign CD and installing the APACHE and HTMDB using the same as above when running the ./runInstaller as everything else is already setup.

check pre-requisites for a Linux OS here:
Installation Guide for UNIX Systems: AIX-Based Systems, Compaq Tru64 UNIX, HP 9000 Series HP-UX, Linux Intel and Sun Solaris Contents / Search / Index / PDF
http://otn.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.docindex?remark=homepage
Remember that the OS has to be certified to install
Oracle sucessfully.

My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Hi Nitro,
Tried your advise but that too failed. Problem still continues. Again that same error "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
Please advise.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

The 1st one says, " Application Apple Support not found, Uninstall iTunes and try download again. " Then a second window says, " Error 2 ", "The iTunes Application cannot run without the Apple Support ...." What is this "Error 2" and is there a fix for this? I appreciate everyones knowledge in helping me come to a solution. as I aint no hi-tech redneck! Thank you, Bob Bryan

Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component, such as Apple Application Support, won't install normally.

I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64bit Windows 7 and it stopped working completely. So I tried deleting and installing all over again and haven't been able to reinstall it since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums

I recently tried to upgrade my itunes on my dell laptop with 64 bit windows 7. It stopped working so I deleted all files and tried to reinstall and haven't been able to since. I've tried numerous things i've read in forums and nothing seems to work. The installation will not move past the "publishing product information" point. After being stuck there for a while this error message appears:
An error occurred during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT,version="8.0.50727.4053",type="win32",publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b",process or Architecture="x86"', Please refer to Help and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x800736FD
I hope someone is able to help me with this.

Did you already try what bnoir suggested in this post about error 0x800736FD:
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 800736FD, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?
This thread might help as well, suggestion provided by bnoir:
In general, these ones tend to be caused by underlying problems on the PC that can prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to try to fix the Windows Update issues. If we can get Windows Updates flowing again, that generally clears up the iTunes install errors +en passant.+
Head into your Windows Update, and check for any new updates. Do any fail? If so, open your Update History and doubleclick on the failure entries to bring up a small box with alphanumeric error message codes. Are you getting 8000FFFFs? (They often seem to be associated with an iTunes-install 0x800736FD.)
If you're getting 8000FFFFs, try the following Microsoft document:
[Windows Update Error 8000FFFF|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Windows-Update-Error- 8000FFFF]
Head back to Windows Update, and stock up on any updates you're behind on. Once you're completely up to date in that regard, try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

I want to use Solaris 8 on a Dell laptop with at least 1024 by 768 resolution. Any recommendations?
[email protected]

I got a Dell Inspiron 5000 notebook PC, of course the latest 3COM 3CCFE575CT-D CardBus PC card fast ethernet card didn't work. I looked at the HCL for Solaris 7 Intel and found that it supports the 3C589, 3C589B, 3C589C, and 3C589D and ran to the neariest CompUSA store but couldn't find any of those cards. The closest one I got was 3CXE589ET so I grabbed the card and tried it. Didn't work. I install the initpcic PCMCIA patch from XiG, the machine hung in the middle of bootup. The last message on the console was about setting the netmasks. Any suggestions?

It is possible you can download but you haven't indicated the name of the software so only a general download link can be provided at this point.

HT1414 In syncing my iphone to my itunes account, it proceeds fine until step 6/6 music. Then there is a message that I tunes software has stopped working. This has happened multiple times. I am on a windows 7 Dell laptop. Thank you.

I keep getting the same error message when syncing my iphone in itunes with my windows 7 Dell laptop: The software has stopped working and will be shut down. Can anyone help?

Hey preachit,
It sounds like we are running into issues with the iTunes software connecting to your device. If possible, lets try plugging your iPhone 5 in with a different cable. Also, try plugging it in to a different USB port on your computer:

We may need to isolate the issue down to the iPhone or the current installation of iTunes. If the above steps have not resolved your issue, remove and reinstall iTunes:
