GIMP on Solaris Express CD Set

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I want to run newer version of GIMP preferably at least 2.4. My current Solaris version is Solaris 10, Jan 2005 version. I ordered Solaris Express 11 x86 core and, 6 CD set since I was not looking forward to download free GTK libs to set up a local build environment for GIMP since it would take at least an entire day to get GIMP working using my dial up modem.
I have several questions about Solaris Express 11x86 OS/Application Set
1. Does it still use familiar GRUB 0.9X as boot loader? I am not familiar with GRUB 2.x
2. Would my old Star Office 8 install on Solaris Express 11x86 OS
3. Would the new version of GIMP comes with Solaris Express 11x86 would install on old
Solaris 10 of January 2005 version?
4. Since Graphics and Audio editing programmes runs better when swap and /tmp slices on the
second physical disk. Can I at least make Solaris 10 and Solaris Express share these
spaces ? I give 12GB for /usr 16GB for /opt and 4GB for / and 16GB for /export/home on
one primary partition on fist disk and /tmp and swap on another 4 GB primary partition on the
second disk.
I would appreciate yourkind advice and time.

Hi,
I think that you should take a look on [http://www.blastwave.org|blastwave.org] and search for pkg-get utility. It's similar to apt-get (solve dependencies). And I believe they should have a newer version of gimp. I have been using this repository a lot when I was using Solaris 10.
It won't mess up your old libs &etc. Everything is installed into /opt/csw.

  • Upgrading GIMP in Solaris 10

    I would like to upgrade GIMP in Solaris 10 to the version used in Solaris Express DE.
    What is the best way to do this?

    i didnt however i wasnt hammering it. if the load was expected to be high i would have done the io layout diff (try and follow some of oracles ideas: SAME for one, if possible).
    some depends on the load and the load from the other zones. you can use allocate resource limits to give more priority to more important zones or make sure you have enough resources to start. what type of load are you expecting?

  • Unable to play audio video files in solaris express

    I am unable to play mp3 and avi files in my newly installed oracle solaris express. I have installed 'gnome-audio', 'gnome-media', 'gstreamer', 'gstramer/plugin/gnonlin' packages. I have even installed 'IPSFWmpeg' MPEG-1 liabrary from sunfreeware repository. All these softwares are shown as installed packages in my package manager. But still on playing any video in totem movie player or audio file in rhythmbox player, a dialog box with an error message is displayed "The playback of this movie requires a MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) decoder plugin which is not installed".
    What should i do to play avi files in Totem movie player and mp3 files in Rhythmbox music player? Please don't suggest other media players because i want to use only above said totem and rhythmbox and i want to know what's wrong with my software installations?

    You can get a free MP3 codec from Fluendo (http://www.fluendo.com/shop/product/fluendo-mp3-decoder/). There are some instructions on setting it up here: http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/playing_your_mp3s_with_songbird.

  • No gnome in Solaris Express 11?

    Hi,
    I have installled Solaris Express 11 (sol-11-exp-201011-text-x86.iso) on VMWare.
    After installation I have discovered that there is no GUI.
    Have I installed incorrect image? Or maybe Sol 11 doesn't have gnome?
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Try "pkg search gnome" - this will search the online repository for gnome packages. The install CD does not contain a full set of packages - it just gets Sol 11 Express up and running. Use the pkg command to install the rest.

  • Solaris Express, Dev. Edition 2/07 install problem

    Im trying to install the solaris express developer edition 2/07 dvd i got in the mail.
    Everything goes fine until i have to set up the hard drive for installation. I have two hard drives, 1 SATA (Server 2003), and a 20Gb IDE for this Solaris install.
    When i click next to start installing, it drops out with an error against Solaris Software. the error is as follows:
    ERROR: Could not create Fdisk partition table.
    ERROR: Could not label disks
    ERROR: Could not update disks with new configuration
    ERROR: System installation failed
    Pfinstall failed. Exit stat = java.lang.UNIXProcess@2af0812
    sing existing Solaris fdisk partition (c2d1)
    Im not a nub to linux but i have never used solaris and its been a few years since i've touched it - but im familiar with console.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. =D

    You do not supply more comprehensive info on Your hardware. Therefore I would like to suggest quite conservative approach.
    1. First of all it will be helpful to get from SUN's website the "Install check tool". It is an image (bootable CD) of diagnostic soft.
    2. Disable in Bios the SATA disk.
    3. Boot the computer with "Install_check_tool" CD inserted into the drive. I hope that this diagnostics will be OK.
    4. Restart the computer and start Solaris installation. You can perform this step directly after step no. 2. Now Bios will see only IDE disc and installation should proceed OK. If not - supply more info on Your hardware and resulting (in this situation) diagnostics.
    Good luck!

  • Solaris Express Developer Questions

    Currently I am running Solaris Express Developer however i noticed there is no Subversion or CVS installed by default.
    The version I am running is as follows.
    bash-3.00$ uname -a
    SunOS solaris-devx 5.11 snv_55b i86pc i386 i86pc
    Any ideas if there is a newer version, and whether it has subversion and cvs installed by default?
    Thanks

    I have looked at the latest download for Solaris Express, Developer Edition 2/07 which is what I am running now.
    I have connected the Sun Update Manager and I receive no updates.
    Currently I am trying to use this as my development platform/workstation at work. Developing java applications seems to be well catered for however some sections of the desktop environment look a little rough.
    I am having issues printing from Evince and Gimp, which seem to be using a different printing interface to other applications.
    It seems that this "Developer Platform" may be a little green for use as a workstation without some proper update mechanisms...

  • Solaris Express Developer Edition + Apple Airport Extreme

    I just installed Solaris Express Develper Edition without any problems, but I can't seem to get my wireless connection up and running. I use an Apple Airport Extreme and while my MacBook with Mac OS X and my Xubuntu machine have no problems connecting to the internet through the Airport, my Solaris says he can't connect.
    I allready disabled the Auto-magic stuff so I can setup the connection manually. I did it with the following two commands:
    svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
    svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
    The wireless interface ath0 can detect all the available networks (including mine), so it works.
    My Airport uses WPA/WPA2 Personal and DHCP.
    In the Network settings of Solaris I've set the properties of the wireless ath0 interface as follows:
    * enable this connection
    * activate on boot
    * network name (ESSID): my network is detected and I can select it from the dropdown list of available networks
    * Key Type: Plain (ASCII)
    * WEP key: my WEP key (the thing I filled in as WPA/WPA2 Personal on my airport)
    * Connection settings Configuration: DHCP
    I click OK and then try to activate the ath0 interface, but it doesn't work. The message is:
    "Could noet enable the interface ath0
    Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it".
    Which is frustrating, because as far as I know, the settings are correct (ESSID, WEP, ...) and the computer is correctly connected as it can detect all the available wifi networks in my area.
    Does anybody have any idea? Thnx in advace,
    Nico

  • Upgrading opensolaris 134 to solaris express 11

    Hello all,
    I've followed the instructions here http://blogs.sun.com/observatory/entry/upgrading_from_opensolaris_2009_06 to upgrade open solaris 134 to solaris express 11.
    I've managed to upgrade to b134. However changing the preferred publisher to oracle gives an error

  • Help me in Installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition  X 86

    Hi,
    Help me in installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition
    When i am trying to install Solaris, system hangs and the moniter is switcher off when the system goes in GUI mode.
    i have intel 945GTP mother board with as on board Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Drives , Chipset -> Intle 945G , 160 SATA Hard Disk, 1 GB DDR2 Ram , P4 3.Ghz Processer , on board Intel PRO/100 VE Network Card.
    Please,Help me.
    Thanking you,
    P.Sathish Kumar

    Hello,
    first of all: Try to run the HCTS (Hardware
    Compatibility Test Suite) first, it's available
    here:
    http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.htm
    l
    This you can run from Windows, and it will list all
    hardware that has drivers, and all those, that do not
    have drivers (including some public domain drivers).
    After that, you have the possibility to install
    Solaris WITHOUT a GUI, use one of the two "terminal"
    modes. The first Is still a GUI, as it only starts X
    and opens a terminal, in which then the installer
    runs. The second does NOT start X, but runs the
    installer on the console. Try this one, and once you
    get through that, you can afterwards figure out the
    settings of the Xserver.Hi ,
    i have installed the solaris using console.
    Still GUI is not starting, the moniter is switched off when GUI gets started
    I used Hardware Compatibility Test Suite, its say that system is supported
    by Solaris.
    Should i have change BIOS setting to stated the system
    Bye

  • Solaris Express Site?

    What's with Sun's Solaris Express download site? It's been down for "maintenance" for the last three days.

    I was able to get networking to partially work with a similar setup, no DNS yet.
    VMWare configured for Bridged, VMWare Tools installed. Mistake I made was booting the first time without checking that VMWare was set to Bridged and not NAT.
    ifconfig -a plumbfound a pcn0 device and then
    ifconfig pcn0 up
    ifconfig pcn0 dhcpGot an IP address.
    I can now SSH to my linux host from Solaris but no DNS and the gnome network administration tool keeps having a problem with the "backend script" it is trying to run. Back to Solaris 10 reference book I go.

  • Solaris Express Developer Edition on Acer Aspire 9100

    I did some research and it appears that the latest edition or Solaris Express will install and work on the Acer Aspire 9100. It is a turion with a nvidia chipset, atheros wireless and an nvidia 6100 graphics chip set. Does anyone have experience with this install.

    Re research: You have tested Your hardware with Hardware_Detection_Tool? It seems to be more up to date than Install_Check. Install (or use already installed version) Windows, download this small tool and run it on-line (Internet connectionis necessary). Latest nevada version fills many gaps in previous releases.
    Good luck!

  • Solaris 10 JumpStart server doesn't works correctly with Solaris Express

    Hi All,
    I have configured the JumpStart server on Solaris 10.
    I install Solaris 10 and Solaris 9 also using flash installation.
    When I run installation installer ask me 2 or 3 questions (I don't exactly remember) about NFS and then it install automatically.
    Does anybody know how to avoid these few questions at the beginning of installation?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    The first question is:
    �� The Solaris Installation Program ������������������������������
    The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
    where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
    the end of each section, you'll be able to change the selections you've
    made before continuing.
    About navigation...
    - The mouse cannot be used
    - If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
    respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen
    will change to show the ESC keys to use for navigation.
    ����������������������������������������������������������������
    F2_Continue F6_Help
    Then I select to Continue:
    �� Identify This System ����������������������
    On the next screens, you must identify this system as networked or
    non-networked, and set the default time zone and date/time.
    If this system is networked, the software will try to find the information
    it needs to identify your system; you will be prompted to supply any
    information it cannot find.
    > To begin identifying this system, press F2.
    ����������������������������������������������������������������
    Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
    Then I select to continue:
    �� NFSv4 Domain Name ����������������������������
    NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common domain name.
    The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""
    NFSv4 Domain Configuration
    ���������������������������������������������������������������� [X] Use the NFSv4 domain derived by the system
    [ ] Specify a different NFSv4 domain
    ������������������������������������������������������
    Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
    I select continue:
    �� Confirm Information for NFSv4 Domain ������������������
    > Confirm the following information. If it is correct, press F2;
    to change any information, press F4.
    NFSv4 Domain Name: << Value to be derived dynamically >>
    ������������������������������������������������������
    Esc-2_Continue Esc-4_Change Esc-6_Help
    Again I select continue and then the Solaris Express installs automatically.

  • PDA Host USB (Solar Express CF Card)

    Am not sure of interest.  But I've tried the new Solar Express Compact Flash USB host card (currently in an IPAQ 210 PDA, running WinMobile 6).
    This worked like a charm with LabView PDA DAQbase sample code and the NI USB-6009.
    I really bought this for use in a non-hosting USB-PDA, and will try in a Axim X50v.
    For the record the IPAQ 210 has USB Host functionality built-in, but initially proper cables were not available, these are now currently available and the USB-6009 does work with them.  Unfortuneately, I could only get to work if the cables route thru a mini-USB hub first.  This is not necessary with the CF card. 
    In both the CF and the IPAQ native USB hosting mode, no additional power is needed to run the 6009, though I've yet to check battery consumption.  The Solar Express card comes with a USB cable Y-joint which allows feeding additional power to the accessory on USB.  The CF card itself, I believe, is limited to 200 mA draw.
    See below links for the Solar Express product.

    I think this works well for the $85 price.  And appears to work with many older PDAs, which is good for hobbyists, and those like me, with old unused ones lying around.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I bought the Solar Express card, but am having some problems getting data.  I notice you are using a 6009, and I am using a 6008.  The 6008 is not specifically listed in the table here, so I wonder if it can be used.  I have everything set up as per the dynamic example in the same link, but when I run my program on the PDA and set the Physical Channels contol to my task I get the following error: "Value passed to the Task/Channel In control is invalid.  Error code: -200428".  I unsuccessfully searched for the error code.  I am just trying to read some AI, nothing fancy.  I have set up the task in the NI-DAQmx Base Task Configuration Utility, but it seems like it is having a problem with that.  Also, I have the code inside an Event structure, but I can't see why that would make a difference.  Attached is my code.  Are you doing anything differently (other than using the 6009)?
