Audiorecord records nothing on Solaris Express 10 x86 11/04 (b72)

On Solaris Express 10 x86 11/04 (b72), audioplay is working fine, but audiorecord seems to record nothing, that is, I hear silence when I try to play back recorded .wav or .au using audioplay. I tried various combinations of audiorecord options like -v, -d, -s, -e, -t, -T to no avail. It's on a pentium III PC with Creative sound card.
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Installing Oracle 10.2.0.2 on Solaris 11 (Solaris Express) x86

Hi!
I have a problem with installing oracle on Solaris 11. When I ran installation program I got a message like this: "Wrong version of OS. The version must be 10".
Then program finished its work.
Is it possible to install Oracle 10.2.0.2 (or another version) on Solaris 11?

Solaris 11 is not certified with 10g R2, that's why you getting error.

Solaris Express Developer x86 -- only 64-bit?

Hi, people, glad to be back. Just downloaded Solaris Express Developer edition x86 and installed -- almost with no problems.
It's a system with Intel Celeron D with 64-bit and Hyper Threading support, DDR2 1Gb.
Now running Solaris I noticed it's a 64-bit version, not 32-bit, as I meant to have. The command `isainfo -n` gives back ... "amd64"!
Is there a 32-bit version of Solaris Express DE x86?
Or maybe I need not worry at all and keep running the 64-bit one (actually, I've got no problem as yet)?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

So, my system supports 64-bit computing after all. I
never thought about it, in fact.
But does it mean Solaris Express DE x86 runs as
64-bit on the systems supporting 64-bit, and as
32-bit on 32-bit-only systems?Yes, that's correct. Solaris 10 was the first version of Solaris to support 64 bit operation on the x86 architecture.
It and later versions (including Solaris Express DE x86) should automatically detect the architecture and run in that mode at boot time. There are some ways to force it to run in 32 bit mode only if necessary, but that would be unusual.

Solaris 10 doesn't recognize this onboard controllers.
And drivers on Intel & Sun web sites aren't available.
In what way can I make work these onboard network cards under Solaris 10?
Thanks all in advance who responds.

HI Sam,
No at this time, i haven't issue for this problème.

Help me in installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition X86

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,

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

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.
http://www.twin-paradox.com/SEPDA.html
http://www.lightconecorp.net/blog/
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)?

Solaris 10/X86 install appears to have destroyed my display.

Hello folks -
I'm new here, I searched and did not find anything that matched so I'm posting. If I'm asking about something previously covered, please be patient, I'll learn.
I am running an Asus A7N8 Deluxe motherboard with an Athlon 2800+, standard ATA/133 drives and an Nvidia 6800 AGP supplied by PNY. My display is a Viewsonic VA2012wb, which I've since learned is only available at a well-known warehouse membership store.
I've been using this setup under XP for some months now, and yesterday I decided to try and install Sol10/X86 again now that some new drivers are available that support my onboard LAN. Nothing untoward happened during the install (I'm very familiar with the process on Sparc hardware), and I was asked to reboot so I could start installing CD2.
Suddenly, no display on boot. Troubleshooting ensued, and I found that I was able to get the monitor to display if I connected the VGA cable instead of the DVI interface I've successfully used all this time.
Subsequent troubleshooting included:
1. Changing out the 6800 with a 6200 I had on hand.
2. Booting to XP to see if the Nvidia Twinview stuff had become confused - The Nvidia software behaved as if there was nothing available on the DVI input, so many menus did not even appear.
3. Checking with Viewsonic to make sure that I was clear on how the monitor selects inputs. It's largely automatic, but hitting the '2' key on the front panel forces a rescan of the analog and digital inputs.
4. Substituting another display on this workstation, with all cables unchanged, so I could verify that the DVI output on my video card still worked. Tested fine.
5. Moving the affected display to another workstation, to see if it was capable of functioning on the DVI input from a different machine. It was not, test failed.
6. Unplugging everything and letting it sit for over an hour (while I fumed) - test failed.
7. Returned the affected display to Costco today, for a spanky new one. It worked great on DVI with existing hardware (and under XP) this afternoon, so I decided to re-start my Solaris install.
Lather, rinse, repeat, or so I was about to find out....
After I was asked to reboot from CD1, my display died again.
Just like yesterday, it's currently working fine on the VGA input/dead to the world on DVI, and just like yesterday, everything was fine until the first reboot after the Solaris CD1. I repeated the most pertinent aspects of my prior diagnostic steps, and then I went out to the back porch to curse and throw tools until I felt better.
I cannot find a hardware reset button for the display, and an old friend of mine reports that he had a similar issue under Solaris 8/X86 in which he ended up blowing up a CRT. The Sol8 installer was overdriving the monitor.
That said, I don't think that the DVI interface is able to 'overdrive' a monitor, and that confuses me more deeply. I know that if I (re)abuse the return policy of this warehouse store once more tomorrow and get a new display it will fix the problem, but I'm hoping that I can fix this in house!
I refuse to believe that Solaris is actually frying the DVI input on my display, but I do have clear evidence that it the installer is a destructive force, at least with Nvidia cards and a VA2012wb. I'm seeing some similar threads on the Linux forums, some mentioning the part number of my display in specific, but no clear resolutions yet.
Any thoughts?

OK, well... I did a restart, invoking the 'option' command, and the Lion Recovery partition did not show up, so I went ahead and booted back into SL, wherein I was given a 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with a choice of ejecting, ignoring, or initializing. I chose Ignore, and the drive now just shows up in disk utility as 'media' with no opportunity to interact with it.
I had the presence of mind to make a Lion DVD before I installed, so I booted with that, and it too was unable to interact with the drive.
Given the degraded state of this drive, I have no reason to suspect that entering target disk mode and mounting to my MBP would bear any fruit... looks like this sucker is beyond hope. Yay...
I will not be re-installing Lion until at least .2 comes out at this point.. I can't afford a wasted day like this again.

Solaris 10 x86 - software RAID boot

What I can write in eeprom : - for boot form 1-st, and if it absent - from 2-nd disk ? (2 disks in soft raid). two bootpath ?
In Solaris 9/sparc for boot with one working HDD in mirror (2 disks in mirrir) I wrote in /etc/system : set md:mirrored_root_flag=1
What I can wrote for this in solaris 10/ x86 ?

Just for the record: The problem is solved.
I went on looking for more info on this message:
Oct 14 00:07:09 schille gda: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Sense Key: ICRC error during UDMAAnd then found an interesting post from 2004 by Juergen Keil:
The "bad block detected" message appears to be an old/obsolete error
message text, somewhere in the Solaris "ata" driver.
The ATA-1 standard (1997?) defined the 0x80 bit in the IDE
controller's error register as "bad block detected". (See page 32 on
<URL:http://www.t13.org/project/d0791r4c-ATA-1.pdf>)
The 0x80 bit seems to be "reserved" (undefined, not used any more)
with ATA-2 and ATA-3.
ATA-4 and newer now defines this bit 0x80 as ICRC "interface CRC error
has occurred during an Ultra DMA data transfer" when using ultra dma
transfers. (see the description of the "READ DMA" or "WRITE DMA"
command in <URL:http://www.t13.org/project/d1153r18-ATA-ATAPI-4.pdf>).
The Solaris ata driver seems to interpret the 0x80 bit according to
the old / obsolete 1997 ATA-1 standard.
So the "bad block detected" message seems to be a hint that some sort
of data corruption is happening on the IDE interface during UDMA data
transfers with the HDD. With UDMA capable disks it apparently does
not mean "the disk drive is dying".
I went to search what could cause a hardware datacorruption on my system and found that my internal removeable disktray was making bad contact.
After replacement everything worked as expected.

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.

A problem logging in in Solaris Express Developer Edition 05/07

Hi all.
I just upgraded Solaris 10 11/06 to Solaris Express Developer Edition 05/07 on a Sun Ultra 20 M2 and a strange problem arose: after root has logged in in a Gnome session, then when another user tries to log in in Gnome everything slows down: the login screen with "Window manager" takes some 20 secs to go away and then "Panel" sticks there... The only option is killing X with ctrl+alt+backspce. This only happens if root logs in with Gnome, and not in CDE. If root doesn't log in, nothing strange happens ever.
The problem seems unrelated with the user that logs in:
- existing users which could login in Solaris 10 11/06 now have this problem
- new users have this problem too...
Rebooting the machine and never logging in to Gnome with root "solves" the problem.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Can be a problem relating to upgrading?
Thanks,
Enrico.

You should probably direct SXDE queries to the forums at http://opensolaris.org, more chance of a response from the JDS developers there.

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.

Solaris 10 x86 b72 "Cannot find boot.bin" booting from SCSI.

Hello,
After several gyrations of installation attempts and dealing with early BIOS PnP issues, I've finally managed to get Solaris 10 x86 installed on an old dual P2 333Mhz system. So far the system is running flawlessly, but I'm still not able to boot directly off the SCSI disk. The primary boot handler is erroring out that it cannot find boot.bin.
I can boot fine off of the IDE CD drive and the floppy (currently pointed to autoboot into the SCSI disk as a workaround). But when I try to boot directly off the SCSI drive, I get the error from the Solaris boot manager that it "Cannot find boot.bin".
I have booted off the CD & Floppy and compared the /boot files from both the CD & floppy, but I cannot find any difference that would prevent the primary boot loader from finding boot.bin. I've even compared files to make sure they were not corrupt, and even force re-installed the boot handlers, and manually partioning, always with the same results. I've also tried both enabling and disabling the DOS >1G translation of the Adaptec SCSI BIOS with no change. I can't find any reason that the boot loader is not seeing boot.bin, or that the file is corrupt in any way (even after several wipe and install attempts).
My System is:
Supermicro P6DLS dual Pentium II 333MHz & 512MB RAM, w/ Adaptec 7880 SCSI-UW and IDE (whopping UltraDMA 33) interfaces.
CD/DVD reader is configured as the secondary master (moved from primary master in an attempt to fix boot problem)
HD is a 16GB UW SCSI disk.
(Other particulars ommited unless someone feels they are relevant to the boot process).
The system came to me with Windows 2000 installed and functioning. I also had Fedora Core 3 installed, both with no boot problems of the SCSI disk. (Although FC3 would not see the second processor even with the canned SMP kernel).
This system is intended to replace a Fedora Core 3 system to be a multi-purpose firewall gateway & proxy server and I'm really liking the performance I'm seeing with Solaris 10 on this system but would like it to be able to go through a normal boot process and not have to depend on a floppy as a boot device to get started.
Anyone have any ideas why the Solaris x86 boot loaders think that they cannot find boot.bin when the full /boot partion is intact?
TIA,
-Troy

I'm getting the same problem trying to install
Solaris 10 in VMware from DVD.
It brings up the Solaris Primary Boot Subsystem, so
it appears to be reading fine, but the only thing
that happens is I get the Cannot find boot.bin
error.Hmm, the "Cannot find boot.bin." message comes from the
CD/DVD's boot code, which is contained in the first 16 sectors
of the media.
The boot.bin file is supposed to be read from the Solaris UFS
slice, which starts at 512 byte block #5151360 (or 2048 byte
dvd sector #1287840). This a byte offset of ~2.6 GBytes.
Maybe an issue with your system's bios not being able to read
DVD media > 2GB, during DVD boot?
Or a problem with burning the DVD media? Maybe some
"smart" PC DVD burning software has decided only to record
the 2.6 GB ISO filesystem, and the 100 MB Solaris UFS
filesystem that follows the ISO filesystem is missing on the DVD?
Or a 2GB filesize issue while burning the DVD?
Do you have a pc / windows utility that can print some information
about the S10 DVD media, especially the size of that DVD?
Maybe your CD/DVD recording software?
The original S10 GA x86 DVD image has a size of 2732195840
bytes, or 1334080 2K DVD blocks.

Solars 10 x86 1/06 install problem - empty bootloader

Hi,
I'm trying to install 1/06 on a noname AMD X2, on a SATA disk. Had the previous version installed without problems, but 1/06 wouldn't show any options in GRUB. After booting from DVD, GRUB shows me the version number, no options to choose from, and the GRUB prompt. Tried on different machines the same on all.
Any help would really be appreciated.
cheers
cray

Looks like Solaris 10 x86 1/06 GA has got an issue with GRUB. I've downloaded Solaris Express (nv-b27a) CD-isos, now GRUB & the installation are working fine. Just wondering if I was the only one having this issue (as I've tested it on 3 different machines and on VPC it most likely wasn't a HW-issue).
Cheers
