Jds3 in solaris 10 x86 broken

Hi, i am a novice to unix and have been trying to learn solaris for some time now. I finally have a system that will allow me to install the os with minimum headaches. The problem i have been experiencing is that when i install kde OR SUN GNOME, something related to it causes jds to brake. I get a black background when i log in to jds and can only use some applications. if i try to change the background through the jds tool it crashes. can someone advise me what may be affecting gnome and how to fix it please. (JDS WORKS FINE IF KDE AND ITS DEPENDANCIES NOT INSTALLED)
my system specs:
AMD 3000+ PROC
ASUS A7N8XE-DELUXE MB
1.5 GIG RAM
80 GIG HD
256 MB ATI VID CARD
PINNACLE CAPTURE CARD
2 PROMISE PCI CONTROLLER CARDS(4 80 GIG HD ATTACHED)

I apologize, someone usually responds on this forum
within a day or two, and I'm currently working on
newer opensolaris releases and one of the older linux
based JDS releases, so your combination of JDS3
Solaris with KDE wasn't easily to replicate without
wiping a system that I'm using for something else.
In the future I would suggest that you post such
questions to one of the opensolaris forums:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=39
start=0
Here is a thread on installing KDE from blastwave:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=
26374�B
If you think this combination of JDS3 and KDE would
be useful to others, I'd appreciate if you could post
your solution. Even "newbies" can contribute.nitz thank you for responding, it has been frustrating trying to get this beast up and running. First i had resolved the problem by cleanining up my /etc/profile file as there were duplicate path statements and statements in incorrect order, caused by me following stuff i got over the internet and not realizing that solaris puts some of those statements automatically into env path. This was working fine until i had to reinstall thus mu handle REINSTALLED :-)
because i forgot to create a hard link between /usr and /opt/csw which my soft link got trashed. now after reinstalling the OS and programs from blastwave the black background is back in JDS. any help or suggestions will be appreciated. on another note i have been able to fix the sig 11 error associated with kde as follows;
*make sure /opt/csw/kde-gcc/bin and /opt/csw/bin is at the end of the path list, because the compilier was interfering with the css compilier.
also do not install qt from blastwave as kde also has its own qt files built in. when i installed qt for use with another program i get the sig 11 error and kde will not login or work properly, but when i just pkgrm /opt/CSWqt , everything worked normal again.
Thanks again for responding.

  • Mounting a Solaris x86 CD/DVD from a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive

    Greetings, all.
    Is it possible to mount a remote Windows CD/DVD-ROM drive? I have the Solaris 10x86 Companion Software DVD sitting in a CD/DVD-ROM drive that's installed on a Windows server on my network. It is shared-out (F:) and the two servers can ping each other. I've also confirmed the NFS services/daemons are running on the Solaris x86 machine. I've tried the following variations but, all have failed to produce successful results:

    I've also tried mounting it at bootup by adding the appropriate entry in the /etc/vfstab file but, this does not work as well. I've tried Google'ing for an answer to my issue but, I haven't been able to find anything that applies directly to what I'm reporting. It's usually chatter about mounting from one UNIX server to another. Any advice from the community would be greatly appreciated.

    After three weeks, you deserve a reply. Windoze does
    not natively support NFS.Also deserves a decent answer...
    There are two ways to do this:
    Install Microsoft's free "Windows Services for UNIX," which includes a Windows NFS server; or
    Install the 'sharity' package (google for it); it provides Solaris systems the ability to mount Windows shares

    has anyone been able to get Oracle's client 8.1.5 running on Solaris x86 in conjunction with WLS to talk to back-end Oracle? Any help would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

    This will not work. We have not built the native libraries to work with
    Solaris on Intel..
    I suggest trying the platform independent type 4 JDBC driver available for
    free from Oracle. It is supported (as is any JDBC driver) with WebLogic
    Server. To download it:
    Go to http://www.oracle.com and select the "Download" option.
    From the resulting page, use the "Select Utility or Driver" dropdown to
    select Oracle JDBC drivers
    From the resulting page, scroll down a little (since SQLJ stuff appears at
    the top).
    Or, to go directly there:

  • Install error for Oracle 10g on Solaris x86 64-bit.  NETCA won't run

    Hi All,
    I'm installing Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Solaris x86 64-bit. I run the Oracle installer and all runs well until the NETCA portion of the install. It then errors (error file below). When i attempt to run NETCA outside of the installer i'm getting the same error output. I have verified my OS version and that all dependent packages are installed. I'm not sure what is causing this. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

  • How to upgrade oracle 32 to 64 bit on sun solaris x86 64 bit OS?

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade/convert 32 bit Oracle Database 10.2.0.2 to 64 bit database. Existing 32 bit database is RAC and it is running on Sun Solaris X86 64 bit OS.
    First, I want to know is it possible?
    If yes, then what are the exact steps?

    Hi,
    Such a migration can be done, just follow the steps in Metalink note 62290.1
    It is important to remember that 64-bit database requires more shared pool memory so you should increase your shared pool size.

  • How to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center ?

    Hello people,
    I want to integrate a Solaris x86 server on Sun Management Center platform.
    If I'm not wrong, SunMC doesn't run for Solaris x86, server and client only as console with Java.
    In speat of it, I try to install Sun Management Center 3.0 Agent for Solaris x86.
    It seems to be ok, install packages, but when execute es-setup script, intents to create the following directory:
    /opt/SUNWsymon/base/bin/sparc-sun-solaris2.8
    I supose that in this directory, SunMC will install sparc binary files
    At this point, I can't follow the installation and abort it.
    Can anybody give me ideas to install and integrate my solaris x86 server on SunMC ?
    Thanks

    could you guide please?If you still have a copy of your SunMC media around, the same ["es-inst"|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-2215/command-line-1?l=en&a=view] program you use to install Solaris Agents should work on Linux as well. It autodetects OS type and will install Solaris packages or RPMs as appropriate.

    Hi
    From the Unix prompt enter oemapp console(for v9.x). If you are using earlier versions it is oemapp console (for starting the console) and oemapp dbastudio(for starting dba studio)
    For starting OMS enter: oemctrl start oms.

  • From 7.3 on NT to 8 on Solaris x86?

    Has Oracle ported Oracle8 for Solaris x86?

    Hi,
    usually I expect people to do a little research and I do not give everything chewed.
    Point 4:
    go to the
    <b>Oracle9i Database Migration Release 2 (9.2)</b>
    go to the chapter 3
    <b>Upgrading a Database to the New Oracle9i Release</b>
    go to the point:

    Exactly from here:

    Keep in mind
    1) that the <i>EXACT </i>procedure you are following it is not indicated in this manual
    2) you have to think a little ( do you have all the windows services created on the destination system? if not, you have to create them ... )

  • Help with evaluation for Solaris x86

    Hello,
    I would like to evaluate Oracle Identity Manager and Access Manager products at the latest version possible -- the host system(s) are Solaris x86 (SunOS .5.10) Unfortunately, I am having a bit of trouble compiling the list of packages/versions to achieve this for this platform. For instance, on the downloads page it appears that OIM is not available for Solaris x86, not even in older versions(?)
    Thank you in advance,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    I'm pretty sure that x86 Solaris is not yet certified to run the Identity Management suite. I've been involved in an evaluation process and we ran it all on RedHat Enterprise Server Release 4 Update 5, without too many problems.
    cheers,

    I have successfully gotten solaris x86 11/06 to install and run on my core 2 duo machine. I had tried solaris x86 06/06, but I could only run in 32bit mode until patch 118855-19 was installed. It looks like 118855-33 is the baseline for 11/06.
    With 06/06 I had to edit the grub command and add " kernel/unix" to the end of the 2nd line. This would force 32 bit mode rather than 64 bit. If I tried 64 bit, it would enter an endless reboot cycle. Once I installed the patch to 118855-19 I could run solaris 10 06/06 in 64 bit mode without issue.
    Again, since solaris 10 11/06 is at 118855-33, it runs on my core2 machine straight from the install.
    Hope this helps

    On a laptop there is little point with running a 64-bit operating system unless it physically has more than 4gb of ram, or if you are processing datasets exceeding 4GB of ram. Unless you're into assembly or use Solaris for some reason to manipulate media, little is to be gained by using 64-bit versions if anything. The increased pointer, integer, and padding causes more memory to use for the same software, most software on 64-bit operating systems runs in 32-bit mode because there is no need to have 16 exabyte memory addressing capability for anything but media encoders, giant databases, or extremely bloated single-threaded software. Sun Java Creator takes a heck of a lot of ram, but even at peak it's still under 4GB. If you move files bigger than 4GB, the ability to memory map all 4096MB might have less overhead on a 64-bit operating system, but generally from an end-user perspective, especially on a fast Intel or Opteron system, you won't notice the difference much. Solaris is bi-arch, a large chunk of Windows Vista and XP x64 is bi-arch, and most of FreeBSD and Linux are bi-arch in 64-bit versions, as I said, no point in making everything 64-bit. 64-bit device drivers is an issue for every OS, you should stick with 32-bit on a laptop, and hold off on desktops unless you need extended assembly registers available only in 64-bit mode.

  • Solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit?

    solaris10 x86, laptop, 10G FAT32 partition for windows & x86 exchange data.
    the fat32 partition mount as normal, can be read fine.
    but write some file by x86, that can not find by windows.
    anyboy know did the solaris-x86 mount fat32 partition, the partition max size limit? or no limit, why this problem occur?

    Mounting Windows partition in Solaris
    The easiest way to share data now is to do it through a FAT32 partition. Solaris
    recognises it as partition of type pcfs. It is specified as device:drive where drive is
    either the DOS logical drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24).
    Drive letter c is equivalent to drive number 1 and represents the Primary DOS partition
    on the disk; drive letters d through z are equivalent to drive numbers 2 through 24,
    and represent DOS drives within the Extended DOS partition.Syntax is
    mount -F pcfs device:drive /directroy-name
    where directory name specifies the location where the file system is mounted.
    To mount the first logical drive (d:) in the Extended DOS partition from an IDE hard
    disk in the directory /d use
    mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p0:d /d
    You can use mount directory-name after appending following line is in
    /etc/vfstab file
    device:drive directory-name pcfs no rw
    for example
    c0d0s0:c /c pcfs no rw
    If your windows partition like the following means
    C: - NTFS, D:-FAT32, E:-NTFS, F:-FAT32
    Then you can only mount D, F not C & E.
    Mounting D Drive:
    mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:c /mountpoint
    Mounting F Drive
    mount -F pcfs /dev/disk/c0d0p0:d /mountpoint
    The driveletter only for fat not including other file systems (ntfs or any linux filesystems).

  • Solaris x86 8 bootdisk

    For some reason my computer fails to boot from scsi cdrom, is there a
    bootdisk for Solaris x86? I have a Tekram DC-390F SCSI adapter and
    Pioneer DR-U24X CDROM-drive.

    Tekram offer a driver for download - this presupposes you have a system already installed and running Solaris so that you can actually install the Tekram driver.
    What Tekram have failed to implement and deliver is the "ITU" version of the driver - Install Time Update is Sun's mechanism \for allowing installation of drivers for devices which need to be bootable duringthe installation of the system - you'll see something like "F4 - use ITU floppy" along the bottom of the install screen.
    Options are: complain to Tekram and ask if they've heard of ITU
    or
    install with IDE CD then add SCSI support after

  • Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0

    Hello,
    Maybe you can help me (new on RMAN backup) in doing this.
    I have configured a single Oracle 10g database to have backup with RMAN with following steps:
    1. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/rman_scripts
    2. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/logs
    3. $ mkdir $ORACLE_BASE/tracking

    I need to configure incremental backup with RMAN on a two node Solaris x86 with Oracle RAC 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 installation.
    We also use ASM to store database files, and have Oracle software installed on separate file systems (two Oracle roots for Node1 and Node2).
    I have following questions:
    1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    Below is the script used to run RMAN on the normal Oracle database (without RAC) which I need to change :
    =============================================================================================
    2.0 Oracle backup script: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh
    Use this for daily backups, possiblly as a cron job.
    Once a week run this: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh FULL
    All other days of the week: /opt/app/oracle/rman_scripts/backup.sh INCREMENTAL
    Note: You may have to change ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_BASE below to match your database.
    =============================================================================================
    #!/usr/bin/ksh
    ORACLE_SID=orcl
    ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle
    ORACLE_HOME=${ORACLE_BASE}/product/10.2.0/db_1
    PATH=${ORACLE_HOME}/bin:/usr/bin
    LOGDIR=${ORACLE_BASE}/logs
    LOGFILE=${LOGDIR}/rman.log
    if [[ $# < 1 ]]
    then
    echo "usage: backup.sh FULL|INCREMENTAL"
    exit;
    fi
    BACKUPTYPE=${1}
    full='FULL'
    incremental='INCREMENTAL'
    if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $full ]]
    then
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
    run {
    backup database;
    SQL 'alter system archive log current';
    backup archivelog all;
    delete noprompt obsolete;
    exit;
    eof
    echo ''
    fi
    if [[ $BACKUPTYPE == $incremental ]]
    then
    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target / nocatalog log ${LOGFILE} append << eof
    run {
    backup database;
    backup incremental level 1 database;

    Hi [email protected],
    Q1) where to put Flash Recovery Area (FRA)?
    A1) With RAC: on the shared storage
    I saw recommendations to put FRA on the ASM, is this the best way to do it?
    If you want your backups to be available for both nodes you have to use shared storage or tape using an mml library.
    So if you want to use the FRA for rman backups and the database is on ASM just make ASM the standard for the FRA as well.
    Q2) Can I put FRA on another file system (not on the ASM) which is available only from Node1? This way I can save space on the ASM.
    A2) Than you cannot recover in case Node1 is down. Best would be to send your storage admin to a training course so he can manage the clustered raw devices needed for ASM.
    Q3) Is it possible/recommended to run RMAN from Node1 only?
    A3) No see A2.
    Regards,
    Tycho

  • Solaris x86 or Solaris 8

    What is the latest version of solaris on intel called? Is it generic
    across intel boards? Are there some pitfalls to look out for (i.e.
    only runs on 400 MHz or less, only a handfull of graphic cards, etc.)
    What is the best C/C++ compiler? Does it support Visual Workshop?
    How about Motif? What version? We were using Motif 1.2.4 on X11R5
    from ICS, is this OK? Any heads up would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Solaris 8 is currently available at
    http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/index.html
    Not sure what you mean by "generic across intel boards" - it's the
    same kernel, but drivers will differ depending on your H/W config -
    see the HArdware Compatibility list:
    http://soldc.sun.com/support/drivers/hcl/index.html
    There are freeware e.g. GNU compilers - go to sunfreeware.com
    For serious commercial development, the Sun Workshop tools are
    available - Workshop 5 is shipping now and you can get a WS6 early access at the access1.sun.com website.
    CDE seems to have taken over from Motif. For details on X11R6 features etc, follow the first link below:
