Root cannot write in /home with Solaris 8

After installing Solaris 8, I noticed that is was impossible to create new users. I was able to create a new user in the console, but when I tried to login it wouldn't work. The i noticed that the root doesn't has permissions to write in the /home directory (also no permission in the net, proc, vol and xfn folder). What should I do?

Hello,
I supose that you don�t need write permission on most of those directories, do you?
But you must resolve /home problem. Can you post the exact error message? Can you post the output of the mount command?
Is /home directory the mount point of homes shared with nfs and mounted through auto_home? Which is the content of /etc/auto_master? Maybe in this file you have some options that limit root access to some filesystems.
More info needed!! Bye,

My first gen ipod mini (that I use in my car) does no longer sync with itunes 11.0. It basically says "cannot write or read". Is this the "end of life" of that ipod?

You mean you can't get to the Summary pane?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar

Cannot write email body in OWA with Exchange 2013 SP1 CU6

Hi,
I have a problem with Exchange 2013 SP1 with CU6.
All of OWA user cannot write in the body of email. They can write the Object and the recipient but they cannot select body and write the body message. We have try with multiple Web brother and desactivate all Add-on but the problem still there...
The only way that works is to respond to an email, and in that case, it's working, we can write normally in the body of email.
Have you an idea ?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
After contacting Microsoft support, we have found the solution.
The problem appear after we have recently install the patch described in this KB 2997209:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2997209?wa=wsignin1.0
But on 2013 Mailbox Server, Echange is not installed in the default path C:\ but on D:\
So we have to manually copy the content of folder D:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\ClientAccess\Owa\prem\15.0.995.29 in the folder 15.0.995.31 (MAKE a BACKUP of FOLDER BEFORE!)
No need to reboot, or restart IIS, it's working after that!

Cannot create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC in Oracle VM 2.2

Dear All,
I try many times to create guest virtual machine with Solaris 10 SPARC but not get success.
When I created it already and then I start the Power On button, it run normally but the Console button cannot click on (hide). After that the virtual machine running abit then it change status to Powered Off.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,

I storgly doubt, VMware player is available for Solaris 10 SPARC version.
Solaris 10 is not a comercial product, like ubuntu, windows, MAC etc... It's really for a server.
That's the reason still I hate Solaris 11 as a desktop. You have very limited product/software.... This may change for Solaris 11, but U can't expect one for Solaris 10.

Scanning with Preview - "cannot write to folder" error

I was scanning some photos yesterday using my epson 3170 scanner into Preview.
These scanned & saved OK.
then I installed a couple of Apple updates - one was the latest OS X security update and a java update.
I then scanned something else and now I get a "cannot write to folder" error message preventing me from saving the scanned image (to the same folder I was saving the others to earlier). I can save files to the same folder using other apps so there is nothing wrong with the drive or folder permissions.
I scanned the image otthe desktop and moved the file to the folder I wanted.
If I use ImageCapture it works OK as well.
Any ideas why Preview won't let me save the images?

Check the protections. A command such as ls -ale@ or ls -aled@ would be typical for checking that. I'd guess the files aren't writeable by the web server. This'll probably be a chown and possibly a chmod command to bring the settings on the errant log(s) into agreement with the other settings on the other Apache web server logs that are being written.
FWIW, I'd use zdump or cat and pipe the log contents elsewhere if I wanted to write to them. But if you're resetting the logs, there's a rollover script around (the one that runs automatically on OS X, and I'm unfortunately drawing a blank on the name; it moved from the /etc/periodic stuff over to launchd a while back), or write your own short script that rolls the files and leaves the appropriate owner and permissions settings.
There's an intro to the Mavericks Apache file set up at /library/server/web/config/apache2/readme.txt

Cannot open project file with write access...

I have seen that this problem has been reported before but have yet to find a solution.
I have my project file in an external hard drive. When I plug the hard drive to another computer and want to save it I get this message:
"Cannot open project file with write access. The file may be locked or you don't have permission to write to this location. Select Save As..."
I don't want to Save As because other projects make reference to this file and also my Encore file will be messed up.
FYI both computers use Windows 7.
Any solutions?

Right click on the folder in Question and select properties. Then select the security tab. Make sure you add everyone to the user list. You do that by selecting edit and then add. Type in everyone in the object section and hit ok. Then select the everyone user and checkmark the Full control. Hit Apply and it will adjust the permissions for the folder and subfolders and files.

TS4268 I have two IPad registered in my name. I would like to leave one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime while I travel. I cannot get this to work between the two iPads. What am I doing wrong?

I have an old IPad 2 and a new IPad. They are both registered to my name . I would like to leave the old one at home with my husband and call him on FaceTime when I travel. I have tried this at home with the two iPads and cannot seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

Hey Lft1033,
You'll want to have your husband sign up on the older iPad with his own Apple ID. First, on the old iPad, sign out of your Apple ID:
To sign out of your Apple ID
Go to Settings > FaceTime, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out.
Then, sign in with the other Apple ID, and that should work. If it doesn't work after having separate Apple IDs on each iPad, check out the following document where, towards the bottom, there is a "Troubleshooting FaceTime calls" section:
iOS: Using FaceTime

Have a good one,

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

I cannot retrieve the password for the wifi connection on my imac and so cannot access the internet with my ipad at home. I have a cable modem. Help please!

If you mean that you cannot remember the password for your WiFi network this will work for you - or it should work if you are the administrator on the Mac.
You will need to be logged in as the administrator on your Mac and you must know the password - Open Keychain Access on your Mac in the utilities folder, click on Passwords. Find the Airport Network Password listed on the right. Double click on it. Click on show password in the the window that pops up. Enter your administrator password when prompted and click allow.
If Keychain is locked - you must enter the administrator password there as well to unlock it and access the password.
If you have set the Mac up for Internet Sharing for the iPad to share the Mac's connection, just create a new network On the Mac with Internet sharing and a new password.

Cannot get a home network functioning with new bth...

As a relatively new BT infinity customer I simply cannot get a home network up and running...
I have one PC which is hard-wired into the router and two laptops, all running windows 7. I have discovered from this forum that BThomehubs don't like Windows own homegroup utility so I need to ensure that all devices are on the same workgroup. OK, done.
Every sharing option is checked and even my printer properties are slected to share all. The printer is wired via USB into the main PC. I can 'see' my laptops from the PC and vice versa through windoes explorer but can only access the laptops from the PC, not the other way around which is a pain for transferring files (one of the key reasons for haveing the network in the first place!)
My printer is an Epson all in one PX650 which worked quite happily when I was a Sky Boradband customer from all devices. Now I can't even see it or seemingly add it to the network... in fact I'm not even sure I have a network in the truest sense. This is too hard BT when your competitors made it so simple.
Any thoughts will be much appreciated...

Not sure what you mean by that. If you mean set a Starting page for Safari, then you can't. Safari will open up on the last page you browsed. If you close all tabs before exiting, it will jsut open to the gray screen. From there you can search using the google search at the top left of the address bar, or simply enter an address in the address bar.

This can be easily obtained by flipping the iPad over and looking at the fine text at the bottom of the backside.
The Serial number is printed there.
Alternatively going into Settings->Geneal->About will have the serial number in the list of things about the iPad.
If you are finding it difficult to navigate around the iPad, perhaps setting up an appointment at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store may be usefull. As they have Usage classes you can take.

Solstice DiskSuite[TM] Software: How to Delete and Reset a Lost Root Password on a System With a Mirrored Root Disk [ID 1010755.1]
Solution
Steps to Follow
How to delete and reset a lost root password on a system with a mirrored root disk.
1) Insert the Solaris[TM] Operating System CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.
2) Once the CD-ROM is in the drive, perform a stop-a. This brings the system down to the "ok" prompt.
3) From the "ok" prompt, perform a single-user boot from the Solaris OS CD-ROM.
ok boot cdrom -s4) At the "#" prompt, determine which disk is the system's boot disk (containing the root file system). There are several Oracle architectures and various configurations of systems when it concerns a boot disk. As a general rule, most boot disks are attached to controller 0 (c0). Usually, their SCSI target is
either 3 (t3) or 0 (t0). However, Oracle machines are very flexible, and the boot disk could be at a different location. If you are not sure which disk is your boot disk, perform the following steps to determine the location of the boot device:
a) # eeprom boot-device
The output might appear to be simple, such as "disk" or "disk1" or more complicated, such as a pathname "/iommu/sbus/espdma@4,8400000/...../sd@3,0:a".
b) Make note of the boot-device. If the boot-device is a pathname, it is beyond the scope of this information to provide the location of the customized boot disk. However, for most configurations,
finding the customized boot disk is an easy task. The "Format" command shows all available disks:
#format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
(enter its number): c) Enter d to exit format.
Now, you will have an idea what disks are on the system. Therefore, if the boot-device is "disk" and format shows "c0t0d0" (on some systems "c0t3d0") then that is the boot device. If boot-device
shows "disk1" and format shows "c0t1d0," then that is the boot device. If format shows multiple disks, then based on what the "eeprom boot-device" command shows, the system's boot disk would be:
boot-device format
disk c0t0d0 or c0t3d0 (machine dependent)
disk1 c1t0d0
disk2 c0t2d0
disk3 c0t3d0 or c0t0d0 (machine dependent)
and so on ....
5) Because the system was not brought down gracefully (no root password means having to use the Stop-a keystroke to "crash" the system), you need to run "fsck" to clean the root partition (slice). The fsckalso confirms that you selected the proper slice.
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
where the X and Y are determined by the previous procedure. It is also possible to have a root partition which is not on slice 0 (s0), but, again, that is not a standard configuration.
The output of "fsck" looks like this:
** /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
** last mounted on /
** Phase 1 .....
The second line in the output of "fsck" ("** Last mounted on /") confirms that this is the correct root filesystem partition. Answer "y" to any questions fsck asks. There shouldn't be too many items
needing repair. If there are, there is a possibility of a corrupted root filesystem. After fsck is finished, mount the root partition:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
Again, X and Y are the same as for the fsck command.
For example:
# mount /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /a
6) From the root prompt, set the proper TERM type command (such as vt100, dtterm, sun, and so on)
by entering this command:
# TERM=sun; export TERM
7) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/shadow file:
# vi /a/etc/shadow
8) The first line of the /etc/shadow file is the one you want to modify.
It looks like this:
root:c3.yAVmYodWsc:6445::::::
9) Delete every character between the first and second colons in the first line of the file. When you finish deleting the characters, the line should look like this:
root::6445::::::
10) Press the Escape key, then enter the following to save the file and exit vi:
:wq!
11) Use the VI text editor to edit the /etc/system file andremove the "rootdev" line shown below:
# vi /a/etc/system
*rootdev:/pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk
Don't comment out the "rootdev" line. Actually remove it.
12) In the /a/etc/vfstab file, replace the lines for the system filesystem meta-devices with their underlying partitions. For example, change lines from
/dev/md/dsk/d0 /dev/md/rdsk/d0 / ufs 1 no -
to
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 / ufs 1 no -
ONLY change the lines for root (/) and the filesystems that were affected by the actions you took in step 1 of this procedure. All other metadevices may stay as is in this file.
13) Unmount root, check the root filesystem, and then stop the system:
# cd /
# umount /a
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
# stop-a
14) Boot to single-user mode:
ok boot -swTHIS STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT; YOU MUST BOOT TO SINGLE-USER MODE TO AVOID FILESYSTEM CORRUPTION.
If the system does not boot to single user mode, you might have made a mistake in the previous steps.
15) Because the root password was cleared in an earlier step, press Return when prompted for the the root password. Once you are in single-user mode, you must clear the metamirrors and all the sub-mirrors for the root filesystem. For example, if root (/) is d0, run the following command:
# metaclear -f -r d0
Running the metaclear command not only clears the metamirror but also clears the submirrors that are part of this mirror.
16) When the metamirror is cleared, continue the boot up to multiuser mode by either pressing CTRL-D or by entering the following:
# exit
Now everything should be as it was, except that the system partition is on the underlying partition and isn't mirrored. You will simply need to re-create the metadevices for the root mirror as you had originally.
many thanks

Hi,
Halt your machine.
Boot with fail-safe mode.
format and list out the disks. (You can get the root & mirror disk (c#t#d#) details from /etc/lvm/md.tab of your root or mirror disk. Earlier explorer output may help)
Mount the root disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
Mount the mirror disk and remove the password entry in /etc/shadow
umount it.
reboot the server.
Hope this helps!

[Solved] Cannot burn CD's with LG drive on new system

Confused about ZFS filesystems created with Solaris 11 Zone

Hello.
Installing a blank Zone in Solaris *10* with "zonepath=/export/zones/TESTvm01" just creates one zfs filesystem:
+"zfs list+
+...+
+rzpool/export/zones/TESTvm01 4.62G 31.3G 4.62G /export/zones/TESTvm01"+
Doing the same steps with Solaris *11* will ?create? more filesystems:
+"zfs list+
+...+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05 335M 156G 32K /export/zones/TESTvm05+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool 335M 156G 31K /rpool+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT 335M 156G 31K legacy+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT/solaris 335M 156G 310M /export/zones/TESTvm05/root+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/ROOT/solaris/var 24.4M 156G 23.5M /export/zones/TESTvm05/root/var+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/export 62K 156G 31K /export+
+rpool/export/zones/TESTvm05/rpool/export/home 31K 156G 31K /export/home"+
I dont understand why Solaris 11 is doing that. Just one FS (like in Solaris 10) would be better for my setup. I want to configure all created volumes by myself.
Is it possible to deactivate this automatic "feature"?

There are several reasons that it works like this, all guided by the simple idea "everything in a zone should work exactly like it does in the global zone, unless that is impractical." By having this layout we get:
* The same zfs administrative practices within a zone that are found in the global zone. This allows, for example, compression, encryption, etc. of parts of the zone.
* beadm(1M) and pkg(1) are able to create boot environments within the zone, thus making it easy to keep the global zone software in sync with non-global zone software as the system is updated (equivalent of patching in Solaris 10). Note that when Solaris 11 updates the kernel, core libraries, and perhaps other things, a new boot environment is automatically created (for the global zone and each zone) and the updates are done to the new boot environment(s). Thus, you get the benefits that Live Upgrade offered without the severe headaches that sometimes come with Live Upgrade.
* The ability to have a separate /var file system. This is required by policies at some large customers, such as the US Department of Defense via the DISA STIG.
* The ability to perform a p2v of a global zone into a zone (see solaris(5) for examples) without losing the dataset hierarchy or properties (e.g. compression, etc.) set on datasets in that hierarchy.
When this dataset hierarchy is combined with the fact that the ZFS namespace is virtualized in a zone (a feature called "dataset aliasing"), you see the same hierarchy in the zone that you would see in the global zone. Thus, you don't have confusing output from df saying that / is mounted on / and such.
Because there is integration between pkg, beadm, zones, and zfs, there is no way to disable this behavior. You can remove and optionally replace /export with something else if you wish.
If your goal is to prevent zone administrators from altering the dataset hierarchy, you may be able to accomplish this with immutable zones (see zones admin guide or file-mac-profile in zonecfg(1M)). This will have other effects as well, such as making all or most of the zone unwritable. If needed, you can add fs or dataset resources which will not be subject to file-mac-profile and as such will be writable.

Can not use SVM disc mirror on Sun X2200 M2 with solaris u7

Last year,I tried to build cluster with solaris u6, but I got this error "Insufficient metadevice database replicas located" after SVM set up.
I tried lastest solaris 10 u7(09/05) with Sun x2200 M2 server again, but I got the same error.
I think it maybe driver's problem,so I tested solaris 10 u7 again with one old x86 machines and this machines has pure scsi card and scsi disc.
Also I tried it with ide drive, and everything is fine without any error message.
I checked that solaris 10 u5 will consider sata disc on x2200 m2 as ide disc, so SVM works fine.
But after I upgrade to solaris 10 u7,system will consider sata disc as scsi drive, and SVM will not work.
So I can see this is a bug of solaris 10 u7?

Do you mean boot device is scsi hdd? but it is sata hdd.
