Checking installed packages and kernals on linux

what are the commands to check
checking installed packages and kernals on linux?

According to http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/A96167_01/pre.htm#sthref106,
uname -a should give you your kernel version.
rpm -q should list all installed packaged with RPM.
(see http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man8/rpm.8.html)

Check installed packages integrity? [Solved - script inside]

Hi,
is it possible to check installed packages for integrity - i.e. missing/changed files, etc. I looked at pacman man, but found nothing ...

Oh no, finally it's a little bug in pacman (src/pacman/package.c)
225 if(!stat(path, &buf) && S_ISDIR(buf.st_mode)) {
226 /* if we stat it and it is a dir, don't print */
227 } else {
228 fprintf(stdout, "%s %s\n", pkgname, path);
229 }
If a directory doesn't exist, or is only readable by root, it can't stat it and detect it's a directory, so it'll print it
As root, the only directory it prints is the one which doesn't exist, ie /tmp/ttf-ms-fonts/
because of the special status of the ttf-ms-fonts package.
And as user, it also prints /var/spool/cups/tmp/ , because it doesn't have the right to stat it I guess.
I'm glad i'm doing the opposite of what you're trying to do... That looks a bit more hairy.
lol indeed, that's why I gave up

Can't install Forms and Reports under linux 8.7.1

I try to install Forms and Reports i get this message
UT60 is not available or _TK60 is not available
Please help me

I solved my problem... more by a system of trial-n-error than anything else. Here's how you go about it:
1. BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA. I would suggest using time machine thrice on three different locations. Better safe than sorry, and when it comes to backing up data, Overkill is Underrated.
2. Boot into Disk Utility mode.
3. Locate, select erase the primary HDD/SSD. WARNING: YOU WILL LOSE EVERYTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER THAT HAS NO BEEN BACKED UP.
4. Install OS X online.
5. Select your preferred backup location and tranfer all your data to the freshly installed system. This should restore your computer to an "as was" state.
6. Once the computer is done restoring our data, restart the system.
7. While restarting press the following key combination:
cmd+option+P+R (You have press the combo before the grey screen appears during the boot and let go as soon as you hear the boot up chime.
This will reset your computer's PRAM.
8. Boot into your system and re-install xquartz (latest version) from the source site.
I am not saying this process is fool proof. It worked for me, and it usually tends to work when you are facing problems due to a missing system file.

Install script - checking install option and forcing exit

Anyone know how to accomplish these two things:
1. Determine if the installation was called with a "/silent" switch on the command line
2. Force the install to stop after checking a condition (e.g. a process running) - during the "On Begin Install" step

I was originally hoping to use "Wscript.Arguments(0)" to help determine the command line, but when running the "NwEngine.Shell.Execute strCmdLine, bNoWaiting" it resolves to nothing .....

Checking installed packages

Is there a utility to get pacman to synchronise its database with packages that are actually installed?
I've recently reinstalled Arch but kept the previous /var partition. Consequentially, pacman thinks packages are installed when they're not which leads to apps sometimes failing to run. Reinstalling the app is not necessarily successful, as package dependancies may not be met for similar reasons.
Is a complete Arch reinstallation the only way to solve this issue?

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.

Lenovo Yoga 2 13, Kali Linux 1.0.7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 8.1 install, config, and wifi fix.
I wanted to share an experience with everyone I hope will help others avoid what I have gone through the past 3 days. I bought a Yoga 11s that I loved but had some issues with the wireless, Lenovo being awesome replaced it with a Yoga 2 13. I love this laptop but ran into some issues with Linux install/wireless, which I wanted to show how to resolve in one place. Hopefully this will help someone else get through this quicker
I am going to try and write this for someone with little Linux experience, if I miss the mark please let me know and I will clarify the best I can.
For work I need Windows 8.1 and Kali Linux, while for home I prefer Ubuntu.
My Yoga 2 13:
I5 1.6 ghz
8 GB ram
256 GB SSD
ORANGE!
My requirements:
I need Windows
I need Kali Linux (livecd, even with persistent mode was not an option as it would not save the wireless fix or system updates) – I would also like this on a USB drive and not the internal SSD
I would like Ubuntu
Needed to do this:
1. 2 USB thumb drives (at least 8gb in size each) I used 2 Leef Supra 32GB drives. They are my favorite right now and are only about $27 at amazon.
2. Phone that can USB Tether or a USB Ethernet card (External USB wireless will show as "Hardware Locked"). Again you can pick one up for sub $10 if you need the USB Ethernet route. I used my Galaxy S5, you will need to download 200-300 mb of items through this so make sure you have the data if you go that route.
3. You may be able to get a USB wifi card to work if you do the following after boot. This only worked once for me.
                a.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlmvm’
b.Type ‘sudo rmmod iwlwifi’
4. ISOs of Ubuntu and Kali Linux (I used Ubuntu 14.04 and Kali Linux 1.0.7)
5. Software to unzip the ISOs. I recommend 7-ZIP and will be referencing this in this guide.
6. I will include the EFI boot files and the WiFi fix files if I can attach. Otherwise I will provide a link to them.
   Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
Recommended (these are just in case you corrupt something making your system not see any OS
1. I would call Lenovo beforehand and get a set of recover disks (this will take 2-3 days)
2. In the meantime a USB Windows 8.1 or 8 ISO (the repair feature may save you)
*Note: At many points in this guide I detail steps and commands. Please double check that you understand the step before proceeding. There are multiple points where a mistyped command or clicking the wrong option will cause your entire system to fail and you will need to reformat the entire drive and start over. This also will make One Touch recovery not work. Proceed with caution.*
I did not need to disable ‘secure boot’ to do this, but keep in mind that you may need to.
Steps:
First let’s go through the installs, and then we will go through grub config and wireless fix
1. In Windows scroll to computer and right click, select manage.
2. Go to “Disk Management”
3. Select the main HDD (notice Lenovo puts a stupid number of partitions on here)
a. I deleted the D: drive on here, if you do this make sure to copy the drives over to your main C: drive. You will want to run each of the installers and repair the drivers after.
4. I used the space from the D: drive and pulled a little more creating a 50 GB partition for Ubuntu and my swap file
a. You can also add more space by right clicking your C drive and selecting shrink
b. Do not format the partitioned data as this will make identifying it later much easier.
5. Open a command line
                a. Swipe from the right of the screen and select search
                b. Type ‘cmd’
                c. right click and select ‘run as admin’
6. For Ubuntu: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary’
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
6. For Kali Linux: Type ‘diskpart’ into the command line
                a. type ‘list disk’
i. You should see 2-3 disks depending on if you have one or both usb drives in the laptop at the time. I would suggest only doing 1 at a time so you don’t lose track.
                b. type ‘select disk $’ (Replace the $ with the number of the drive)
c. ***** Before proceeding make sure you have the correct drive selected or you can ruin your Windows install and Lenovo one touch recovery will not fix it since we have changed the partitions *****
d. type ‘clean’
e. type ‘create partition primary size= 3272
f. type ‘active’
g. type ‘format fs=fat32 quick’
h. type ‘assign’
i. type ‘exit’
j. By doing this we can maintain a portion of this drive as the install CD and still have linux install/ liveCD if we need to run it on another machine.
7. At this point the drive is ready to have the contents of the ISO copied over.
8. Right click the ISO and select 7-zip then ‘zip to /’ This should unzip the ISO to the location of the ISO into a folder named exactly the same as the ISO.
9. Once this is done for Ubuntu ISO it is done
10. Kali requires a little bit more to be ready
                a. Kali will need some files added for EFI boot. --$--
                               i. Thanks to: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?271-How-to-EFI-install-Kali-Linux
                               ii. EFI files are located within the wifi fix folder https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
11. Now let’s start with Ubuntu
Ubuntu install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     Select ‘install Ubuntu’
5.     Go through the Ubuntu install until you get to select the install drive
6.     Once you get to the install portion it will ask you to select from one of 4 options. Select ‘Manually select partition’
7.     Select the “Free Space” where we opened up some of the drive
8.     You will need to create 2 partitions, I usually create the swap partition at the end of the drive
a.     First I create the swap
                                          i.    Set at the end of the drive
                                         ii.    Set size to 1024 mb
                                        iii.    Set type to ‘swap’
b.     Second create the ext 4 partition
                                          i.    Set to beginning of drive
                                         ii.    Set to remainder of the space
                                        iii.    Set type to ext4
                                        iv.    Set mount point to /
9.     Finish the install and boot into Ubuntu
10.   You will notice that your wireless is ‘disabled by hardware’ This is fine for the time being and we will worry about this after the kali install. If we fix it now for some reason after installing kali we get the error again and would just need to fix it again.
Kali Linux install
1.     Place USB drive into the laptop and press the “Lenovo boot” button next to the power button
2.     Select ‘Boot Menu’
3.     Select ‘EFI USB Device (Name of drive)’ Mine stated Leef Supra
4.     From the grub menu select ‘install kali linux’ both graphical and text work. I much prefer text install
5.     You will get a few errors through the install but that is fine
6.     The first we see is about network hardware and ‘load missing firmware from removable media?’ – Select ‘no’
7.     Then select no ethernet card
8.     It will have you name your machine then it will ask you for the root password
a.     If you want to just use root *not recommended* place the password here
b.     If you wish to use a non-root account then leave these blank and it will ask you for a name, username, and password of the new machine *Very Recommended* - this will also add this user to the sudoers file
9.     It will then ask you to ‘partition disks’
10.   Select manual
11.   Now here is where it can get a little confusing so read twice click once
12.   Select the USB drive from this list
13.   Mine shows up under (sdb) – Leef Supra
a.     It could be sdc, sdd, sde, etc… depending on how many drives you have plugged in.
14.   You should see one primary drive that is 3gb or so that is formatted as FAT32. – DO NOT TOUCH THIS PARTITION!
15.   You should see the remainder of this drive as ‘FREE SPACE’ select that
16.   Create a partition at the end at size 1024mb and swap
17.   Then create another one for the remainder of the drive and set it to ext4 with mountpoint of /
18.   Continue through the install after you should see an error warning you that ‘you may not be able to boot’ that is fine, select continue
19.   Then select from the menu of all the options ‘continue without bootloader’
20.   It should finish up then reboot on its own.

First setup/boot/fix grub
1.     You should be able to boot up into GRUB2 menu now.
2.     You may not see kali linux in this menu (make sure you have your towel and don’t panic!)
3.     Boot into Ubuntu
4.     Once you log in you should see that you still cannot use wireless due to being locked by hardware
5.     This is expected
6.     Let’s fix grub then we will come back to fixing wireless
7.     Plug in your device to connect to the internet (USB Tethering or USB Ethernet)
8.     Once you verify that you now have an internet connection run the following from terminal
a.     ‘sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer’
b.     ‘sudo apt-get update’
c.     ‘sudo apt-get install grub-customizer’
9.     You can also edit the grub.cfg manually if you know what you are doing… I did not
10.   Open grub customizer
11.   It should auto populate and you should see ‘debian (kali linux)’ somewhere in the list
12.   It should be mounted to /dev/sdb2 or /dev/sdc2 depending on how many devices you have
13.   At this point go ahead and save
14.   Reboot and test that you can get into each OS
15.   This is where my inexperience got me. I spent 2 of my days so I am including this error: If when you boot into Kali you get an error somewhere that says ‘/bin/sh: can’t access tty: job control turned off’ look above it for an error that looks similar to ‘ALERT! /dev/sdc2 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!!’
a.     That error is due to the mount point being incorrect in grub, reboot and from within grub highlight the kali boot. Press ‘e’ then towards the bottom you should see ‘root=/dev/sdc2’ change this to ‘root=/dev/sdb2’ again the number doesn’t matter just make sure it stays the same.
b.     Press F10
c.     If this boots fine then you will need to go back and fix the grub.cfg or load into Ubuntu and open grub customizer again, it should fix this
16.   Now you have 3 working OS on the machine with one being on a USB! Congrats!
17.   You can remove the USB with no worry of screwing up your install, but you will not be able to boot into Kali Linux until you replace it. I would suggest only removing it and replacing it while the machine is powered off, but that’s just me.
Fix Wireless
Now is the time to do what probably ¾ of you came here for. FIX THE DANG WIRELESS. This is a huge problem from Lenovo’s side that I hope they realize how important Linux is and will fix. I won’t hold my breath though.
Log into Ubuntu : This is well documented in the following forum post on page 3 by user Haohe:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2215044&page=3
His has you download quite a large file, mine should be much smaller.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/puxnnoft3gn2b6l/WiFiFix.zip
1.     Download the attached package with the fix.
2.     Connect your USB internet device (tether or ethernet)
3.     Place the packages somewhere easy to access, in this example I will place them under ~/Desktop/WiFiFix
4.     Type ‘cd ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/’
5.     Now we need to prep the tools we need.
6.     Type ‘sudo apt-get update’ – we did this before, but you know, just in case
7.     Type ‘sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname –r`’   Note around uname-r they are the ` symbol not the ‘ this is located just above the tab on the same key as ~.
8.     Type ‘make’
9.     Type ‘sudo cp /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup’
10.   Type ‘sudo cp ~/Desktop/WiFiFix/ideapad-laptop.ko /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/’
11.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
12.   Type ‘sudo modprobe ideapad-laptop’
13.   Type ‘sudo rfkill unblock all’
14.   Type ‘sudo modprobe -r ideapad-laptop’
15.   Type ‘sudo mv ~/ideapad-laptop.ko.backup /lib/modules/3.13.0-24-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/ideapad-laptop.ko’
16.   Next we need to blacklist the ideapad module
17.   Type ‘sudo echo 'blacklist ideapad-laptop' > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
a.     The first time I tried this it wouldn’t work. So I did the following
b.     ‘sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
c.     ‘sudo vim /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ideapad.conf’
d.     Enter     blacklist ideapad-laptop
e.     Exit and save
18.   Reboot your Yoga 2 13
19.   Boot into kali and see if you have wireless, if you do then you are done. If not we will need to repeat this process with one small little change.
Kali Wifi Fix
1.     Copy the sources.list from the package provided
2.     Replace /etc/apt/sources.list with the included
3.     Some of the file path changes but the process remains the same from here.
Congratulations you now have 3 OSes one portable to other machines and working wifi!
Thank you

Safari - and Mail - install packages

Hello,
Im having a problem with Safari on my PowerBook G4 1Ghz (OSX 10.3.9) and would like to do a re-install of the application. I had a problem with iTunes a few weeks ago (when I updated to 10.3.9 actually) and was able to re-install iTunes itself quite simply using the disks provided with my Mac.
iPhoto, iMovie, iCal, iSync and iTunes can be found in the (invisible) folder System->Install->Packages on Disk 1.
GarageBand and iDVD are in the (invisible) folder Images of Disk 2.
But no trace of Safari and Mail either.
So, where can one find the Install packages for Safari and Mail on the OX 10.3 Disks ?
Do I have to re-install the System itself ? (Ive tried that and it didnt work).
Jean-Philippe Gervais

Right, problem is, both are UPDATES, not the original app.
I've tried to work with those (if you install the 1.2 update then run the "Software Update" Item of OS X, you'll get the newer ones).
The thing is, what I'm looking for is a Safari vX.X that is an application install package and not simply an update... even if you can (somehow) work with them.
For exemple, the Safari I'm working with right now, when you right-click on a link, tells me "Localized String Not Found" all the items on the pop-up menu, even if the items works... (My OS is localized in French and the updates were US ones)...
So what I'm REALLY looking for is a way to re-install Safari from the ground up as it where.
I've found -and tried- v1.0 but it won't install on my system (10.3.4 is the earliest I've got).
So ?

Can't install packages or copy files.

Just got ARD 2.2, I'm running it from my work laptop which is a 1ghz PowerBook G4 everything seems to work except installing packages and copying files and i can't work out why. I've installed ARD on a G5 that we have here and it doesn't seem to have a problem. Is it a problem with my laptop, is it just not powerful enough? The G5 is running 10.3.9 and I'm running 10.4.4 so is it something to do with Tiger? Any help would be appreciated.

I have seen this problem in a network where the network switches have limits on broadcast packets. If there are broadcast flood limits set on the network switches, this will cause the file copy or package install to fail.
Apple Remote Desktop uses UDP broadcasts to send these files which means no error checking, so when the switch chops off the flood of packets, your copy fails and no recovery is possible.
Try checking with your network administrator to see if this is the case. You can also find the network hub/switch your workstation is plugged in to and see if during the copy activity for every port is lit up, then goes dead. That's what it would look like.

How does pacman list all explicit installed packages?

SamC wrote:Those most likely are the explicitly installed packages, including ones installed as part of a group and as part of the base install.
Ok thanks, that explains it. I've expected a lists with only the later installed packages and only the group names.
(I come from Gentoo, and thought/hoped pacman -Qe is like the world file...)

Installing packages as system

Hi everyone.
I have a question regarding installing packages and procedures. Lets assume, I am installing a procedure called "db_procedure" and I want it to be created under schema "EMP". My create or replace statement looks like this:
Create or replace procedure EMP.db_procedure as
Now, lets assume that I log into database as system and run this procedure. This procedure will be created under "emp" schema not system as I have the schema name attached to the procedure name.
My question is, is there any difference in running this procedure as system and running it as "EMP". My understanding is that as long as I add the schema name to the procedure name in the create or replace statement, there is no difference.
Create or replace procedure EMP.db_procedure as
I just wanted to understand what goes on behind the seems in oracle when you install this procedure as system. How is it different (if any) from installing it as "EMP".
I believe there is none.
Thanks

I would say you are right. Allthough it would not be my preferred choice of deploying a procedure in the EMP schema. I would just connect as EMP and run it inside that session.

Continue installing packages if there are other errors

Is there a way for pacman and/or yaourt to continue installing the remaining packages if one can't be installed for whatever reason (i.e. like a conflict)? Of course it would skip any other packages that depended on it, but it's annoying if I have a script setup to install packages and it stops midway, even though I'd rather have everything other than the conflicting package installed.

So, package X requires package Y, but package Y can't be installed because some of its files are present in the filesystem (for example). Now, you are suggesting that pacman skip package Y? This doesn't sound too smart.
Packages from [core], [extra] or [community] won't give you installation issues. Packages built from the AUR is a different story, but you shouldn't install them blindly anyways. If the offending package(s) is your own -- fix them.

Safari install Package

Hello,
Im having a problem with Safari on my PowerBook G4 1Ghz (OSX 10.3.9) and would like to do a re-install of the application. I had a problem with iTunes a few weeks ago (when I updated to 10.3.9 actually) and was able to re-install iTunes itself quite simply using the disks provided with my Mac.
iPhoto, iMovie, iCal, iSync and iTunes can be found in the (invisible) folder System->Install->Packages on Disk 1.
GarageBand and iDVD are in the (invisible) folder Images of Disk 2.
But no trace of Safari and Mail either.
So, where can one find the Install packages for Safari and Mail on the OX 10.3 Disks ?
Do I have to re-install the System itself ? (Ive tried that and it didnt work).
Jean-Philippe Gervais

Right, problem is, both are UPDATES, not the original app.
I've tried to work with those (if you install the 1.2 update then run the "Software Update" Item of OS X, you'll get the newer ones).
The thing is, what I'm looking for is a Safari vX.X that is an application install package and not simply an update... even if you can (somehow) work with them.
For exemple, the Safari I'm working with right now, when you right-click on a link, tells me "Localized String Not Found" all the items on the pop-up menu, even if the items works... (My OS is localized in French and the updates were US ones)...
So what I'm REALLY looking for is a way to re-install Safari from the ground up as it where.
I've found -and tried- v1.0 but it won't install on my system (10.3.4 is the earliest I've got).
So ?

Unable to install breqn and cadabra on Arch Linux

Hi,
I am running Arch Linux (64-bit) on my Dell XPS 15 laptop. I use LaTeX for all my scientific typesetting. When I was running Fedora on this system earlier, I used Cadabra, an open source symbolic manipulation program suited to calculations in quantum field theory. I tried to install cadabra in Arch using yaourt, but I get the following error message:

Surprisingly, a search on google did not reveal anything useful. Apparently the problem is validating the package 'breqn' which is a prerequisite for cadabra, but fails to install through yaourt because of some md5 checksum validation error (as I understand). And it seems there is no override for this in yaourt.
Any suggestions to help me get cadabra to work will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Your problem is that the file the PKGBUILD is downloading is not the same one that the creator of the PKGBUILD was working with.
an md5sum is a hash (a fingerprint, if you will) of the file. When the PKGBUILD was created, that fingerprint was included in the file. That yours does not match means one of two things:
1. The file you downloaded was either corrupt, or has been tampered with, or
2. The file you downloaded has been updated by the author, but the PKGBUILD has not been updated.
If it is case 1, stop. If it is case 2, you can do the following:
The Cadabra PKGBUILD was updated last June (almost a year ago). You can either post a comment to the AUR and see if the maintainer will fix it, or you can fix the PKGBUILD yourself and (hopefully) post the changes back to the AUR as a comment.

Notice the md5sums entry in the PKGBUILD above. It needs to be updated in accordance with this article and then built on your machine using makepkg. I strongly suggest you not user a helper for this, but rather use the methods described here

Linux install server and solaris 10

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to learn Solaris as a student. I bought a SPARC (Netra T105 UltrasparcII) server on ebay which requires a network install as there is no cd-rom, or keyboard.
I only have a linux box (like I said, I'm a stingy student) to use as an install server, there is a few tutorials out there to try and do this, but none for Solaris 10. I have been hacking away at this for days, but cannot get it to install. I have the sparc server using RARP and then getting the /etc/bootparams file and downloading the boot files, but it does not get to locating the jumpstart files or the install files (I dont know if I can install from the terminal using the keyboard (without jumpstart) - I have not got that far yet).You can install using the keyboard with jumpstart. Without jumpstart you'd need local media (you can't enter the OS via the keyboard).
I always get this, like it cannot find the install directory, I was wireshark on the linux boot server and see loads of NFS traffic after the TFTP download, but cannot seem to see what part it actually at. I have a detailed log at the bottom from putty. Any help greatly appreciated.Cheers
ERROR: bpgetfile unable to access network
/sbin/install-discovery: information: not foundHmm. That looks like the image file is corrupt. Can you pull the image from media again? Can you see if there's a /sbin/install-discovery file in the image (usually under Tools/Boot/root). I recall there used to be a problem with that file.

Those are for automated installations.

You do have the option of running VMware on linux, and putting a Solaris 10 image on it, then using that VM as your boot server. But the problem you're displaying doesn't appear to be related to the linux server.
