Cups setup Solaris 11 5/07 5.11

The missing files on Companion Dvd SFWgprnt SFWhpijs SFWssl. .
Why include a package that can't be installed (complete) in the Companion Dvd?
Can anyone advise where the remaining packages might be obtained?
I tried the openssl from http://sunfreeware.com/openssl-0.9.7g-sol10-intel-local.gz but cups failed to be able to use same (for 10 not 11).
Thanks
john

Here is how I finally got cups working on Solaris 11 5/07 5.11
Download the Companion Dvd http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/
Download openssl 0.9.7 ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/10/openssl-0.9.7g-sol10-intel-local.gz
Install SFWgcmn, and SFWrline.
1.Then install the packages in the following order:
SFWfltk, SFWoslp, SFWcups, SFWpnm2p, SFWxpp.
2.Finally I created a batch to control the Cups server:
#!/bin/bash
# bin/cups.sh Control Cups Printer/Server
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
/opt/sfw/cups/etc/init.d/cups $1
Simply start via cups start or stop cups stop

How to configure CUPS in Solaris 10 X86 and SPARC

Dears,
I need help in configuring CUPS for Solaris 10 X86 as well as on SPARC.
What i did?
Downloaded the CUPS 1.5.0
read the readme.txt
read the INSTALL.txt
Pre-req installation requires :-
CFLAGS= -i /some/directory \
CPPFLAGS = -i /some/directory \
CXXFLAGS = -I /some/directory \
DSOFLAGS = -L /some/directgry \
LDFLAGS = -L /some/directory \
./configure --
It errors out with
checking for gawk ... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk ...nawk
chekcing for gcc ... no
checking for cc ... no
checking for cl.exe no
Configure error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
see 'config.log' for more details
I installed all the missing dependencies from www.sunfreeware.com and I have the same problem.
I also tried to install the software packages from the operating system dvd... like for
ls -lrt gcc
gcc "SUNWgcc", "SUNWgccS", "SUNWgccruntime"
ls -lrt cc
cc "SUNWgccruntime", "SUNWlccom", "SUNWcctpx", "SUNWccisgn" , "SUNWccinv", "SUNWccfwctrl", " SUNWccfw", "SUNWccccrr", "SUNWccccr", "SUNWccccfg", "SUNWislcc",
"SUNWaccu", "SUNWaccr", "IPLTccons", " SUWgccs", "SUNWgcc", "SUNWmccom", "SUNWmcc", "SUNWusbccids", "SUNWusbccid"
ls -lrt gawk
no results
ls -lrt mawk
no results
ls -lrt cl.exe
no results
Is there any way should i follow apart from the above?
Rgds,
Mky

Check pkginfo -l for each package.
export the PATH variable where the packages are installed, like /usr/local/bin and etc.

What needs to be done to setup Solaris 8 on an NT Network

Has anyone setup a Solaris box to work in an NT intranet? I have setup the box with no DNS and an IP ad of 169.254.60.12 and subnet of 255.255.0.0. All my other machines see each other but the Solaris box can not be pinged. Any help would be great. Thanks...

Here are some ideas but my first questions are ... did the networking setup work correctly, are you using correct subnet mask, are you plugged into network correctly, etc.
Try command "ifconfig -a" to see if there is both a local aka loopback and a real ethernet card installed on your system.
You should be able to see a file /etc/hostname.le0 or /etc/hostname.hme0 in your system.
Try pinging from your solaris machine "out" an ip address that you know. This will confirm if your networking is working, if you have a working subnet, etc.
You can build names and addresses of machines that you want solaris to know about by editing /etc/hosts
Similarly, on your NT machines you can add entries to C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts ... and avoid DNS.
Try some of these ideas ... and let us know how you are doing.

Libcups conflicts with existing cups setup ?

When I try to upgrade libgtk (to try and solve a 'unable to locate theme engine...' in gtk) it requires libcups to be upgraded - 1.2.7-1
But when it tries to install libcups, It reports:
error: the following file conflicts were found:
libcups: /usr/bin/cups-config: exists in filesystem
libcups: /usr/include/cups/cups.h: exists in filesystem
libcups: /usr/include/cups/http.h: exists in filesystem
libcups: /usr/include/cups/image.h: exists in filesystem

libcups: /usr/lib/libcups.so.2: exists in filesystem
libcups: /usr/lib/libcupsimage.so: exists in filesystem
libcups: /usr/lib/libcupsimage.so.2: exists in filesystem
Why is there a conflict here with an existing cups installation ? I've got these packages
installed:
[root@adamscomputer adam]# pacman -Qs cups
local/cups 1.1.23-5
The CUPS Printing System
local/libgnomecups 0.2.2-2
GNOME cups library
local/libgnomeprint-cups 2.12.1-2
Printing routines for GNOME
THanks.

I believe that the reason for these error is that, several months ago, the cups package was splitted into cups and libcups. Check if these files belongs to cups. If so, update both cups and libcups:
# pacman -S cups
# pacman -S libcups

Solaris 10 and LSI MegaRaid 320 problem

I have problem with installation of Solaris 10 on LSI MegaRaid 320 SCSI controller....

how can i make floppy disk image with the latest driver or how can i set up driver from Solaris DVD?

Dear Sun manager!
Our competitors OS and their distributives - freeBSD and mandrake have a nice Support and a very advantages - complires an development tools!
I setup Solaris 10 systems on the IDE HDD - but thos is a first and last experiments with Solaris 10
I think that many users GNU OS and software take a high rate our " High support level"!
Good Luck

CUPS Error message when printing from some applications

Hi. I've got an issue when printing from some apps, but not others. Up to a few months ago everything was fine, then it started when Word would not print direct to my printer (Epson Stylus Pro 3880), not a big deal as I don't use it a lot and could print it through Safari if needed. Then more worryingly as a designer I found that PDFs stopped printing direct too, again I can print through Safari and Preview. Last night I installed a firmware update and now InDesign (CS4) is refusing to print!! Not great as printing via Safari/Preview doesn't give me the same level of control over my prints. Just checked both Illustrator and Photoshop and they both print okay. I get the same error code each time "error: /usr/libexec/cups/filter/pstoraster failed" Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Thanks in anticipation. D

cytan,
As Matt pointed, an application printing to CUPS controls only the format of the input. It has no direct control over the chain of filters inside the printing pipeline. Acrobat isn't coded to use pstoraster, it is simpling submitting postscript to the print queue. In an un-molested Apple supplied CUPS setup, that works fine.
What is going on is that the CUPS system configuration got mangled by some third party bits. In the Unix tradition, the configuration is fairly transparent, in the form of plain text files. In particular, in /usr/share/cups/mime you will find out exactly how the filter pipeline is configured via a table of what filter to use to convert data between two mime types. So we can inspect how the filters are setup and how a broken pstoraster is getting into the chain.
I don't have a handy "before mangling" state, but I can clearly see the Apple specified filters to be invoked when the input data is application/postscript (in apple.convs). I can also see a conflicting filter definition referencing the broken pstopdf (in mime.convs) but with a higher precedence, overriding the apple specified filter. This is why, in reference to your points #1 and #2, simply removing pstoraster fails, because the filter configuration is what needs fixing.
On my system, I found the pstoraster filter to be a shell script referencing a MacPorts install of ghostscript. I've since removed MacPorts, but that evidentally left the CUPS configuration in this broken state. Without knowing exactly how the CUPS system was put into the broken state, fixing it can be a bit tricky. Another posting suggested replacing the broken pstoraster with the Apple supplied equivalent of pstocupsraster. That might work, but it would be better to simply remove the conflicting filter specification, which on my system is this bit in /usr/share/cups/mime/mime.convs:
# pstoraster is part of GPL Ghostscript...
application/vnd.cups-postscript application/vnd.cups-raster 100 pstoraster
Removing that will restore the Apple specified filter chain for postscript input. With the filter specification gone, you are free to remove the pstoraster filter itself.
On wating for Adobe to fix this...
Acrobat provides enough things to scream about without pinning non-Acrobat problems on it as well. Not only is this problem not the fault of Acrobat, but suggesting that Acrobat should reach into a CUPS system broken by some unknown third party and fix it is only going to complicate the situation by having two third party products trying to un-do each other's configuration of a system resource. Do you really trust Adobe to fiddle with system components it doesn't own? No, I didn't think so. Adobe installers and updaters have enough trouble with the stuff they do own.
So, why does this problem only seem to affect Acrobat (your point #3)? I suspect it is simply that Acrobat is in the minority of submitting Postscript to the print queue. Any print job produced via CoreGraphics APIs is going to enter the system via a different path (namely, PDF), but the Postscript method is completely legitimate and any application that submits Postscript will be affected in the same way as Acrobat.
I hope this sheds some useful light on what is really going on with this problem.

Root password fails on auth to Solaris Management Console Server

I've setup Solaris 10 x86 on a VA linux 1220 server, all is good so far except when I try to create additional users. I am logged in as root, and the root password logs in to the CDE, but fails on authentication to Solaris Management Console Server when I try to use any of the management apps like computers and networks or Users. So I'm stalled at the point where I should be configuring the system. I have been very careful about typing in the password exactly as I use it in the login screen, but it never works in the System Management tools for This Computer. The password I'm using is 26 characters long, is it too long? Or is there a step I'm missing?
Thanks,
Brian

One of my famous guesses, but unless you changed the default password algorithm the maximum length of your password is 8 characters, when logging in on the console or desktop, anything typed after those eight characters will be ignored (unless this behaviour changed very recently).
Its possibly that SMC, and its server component WBEM does not ignore the extra characters, which could cause this behavior.
What happens if you try and login to SMC with the root user and only the first eight characters of your password?
Btw, if this was the problem i think there is a way to change the default crypto algorithm to something that supports more characters.

Sendmail MTA on Solaris 10

I have been banging my head against the wall with this for several weeks now. I am trying to setup Solaris 10 mail clients and server. What I would like to do is have all my Solaris (10) systems send to one Solaris 10 mailhost (alias is mailsrv). That host will then resolve local addresses or send to other destinations (to the outside world or our Barracuda and on to Exchange) via definitions in the local aliases file or just pass it on if it can not determine it.
I have the clients working with the following cf file:
OSTYPE(`solaris8')
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
FEATURE(`msp', `[mailsrv]')
However, the MTA will not allow the mail to come in. I have set the local_only property via:
svccfg -s svc:/network/smtp:sendmail setprop config/local_only=false
My MC file contains this:
OSTYPE(`solaris8')
DOMAIN(`solaris-generic')
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')
CwMyDomain.com
MASQUERADE_AS(`MyDomain.com')
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')
FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`always_add_domain')
FEATURE(`relay_entire_domain')
FEATURE(`allmasquerade')
MASQUERADE_DOMAIN(`MyDomain.com')
define(`LUSER_RELAY', `mailfilter.MyDomain.com')
MAILER(`local')
MAILER(`smtp')
This config works perfectly to deliver mail to the local user or pass it on to the outside world or Barracuda/Exchange. However, it will not accept mail from another Solaris host. SMTP is running:
%netstat -a | grep smt
*.smtp *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
I can telnet to port 25 from another machine and actually send a valid email via SMTP commands. I can even send to it from my Exchange server. It just won't allow sendmail to talk to it from another host. The mail just sits in the queue:
%mailq
/var/spool/clientmqueue (1 request)
-----Q-ID----- Size -----Q-Time----- ------------Sender/Recipient-----------
o5FHjjBL004148 5 Tue Jun 15 13:45 root
(Deferred: Connection refused by mailsrv.MyDomain.com.)
MyEmailAddress
Total requests: 1
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jim

So far it is happening for root. What do you suggest I do to fix it?
Below is an example of what I have been seeing. If you look at "To", you will see where the problem is..."relay" should not be there. The host name should not be there either as the masquerading configuration is set up. Something is causing "relay" to appear and I cant seem to find what it is.

Solaris 8 VM on T41 Sparc server?

is it possible to virtualize a solaris 8 OS as a VM on OVM server for sparc, 3.x running ona T4-1 server? I'm sure it's not possible, but have to ask.
secondly, legacy zones only work with solaris 10, isit possible to make a solaris 10 VM and then run a legacy zone inside of that ( similar to nested VMs)?
Rob

Hello
You are right in
Solaris 8 , can only be virtulized in a solaris 10 GZ doing a sol8 brand zone. So you can create a ldom guest with solaris 10 and put and brandz solaris 8 zone.
this doc can help you if you do it

Wairning: No Solaris Fdisk Partition when managing disks in SMC

I just setup Solaris 10 on an old Dual Ultra Sparc II 400mhz system and I'm having a strange problem with the Solaris Management Console.
I'm using the SMC to manage my disks but everytime I select a disk I get the error "Warning: No Solaris Fdisk Partition" IF I continue and attempt to create the paritition it just fails. This is really strange. All of the disks give me this error, including the disk that I'm booting from.
Also, all the disks just say NAME as their label. Under Solaris 9 it actually showed me c0t1d0 etc..
All of the disks show up and operate fine when using other commands such as format or probe-scsi at the open boot prompt. As well all of the devices are present in /dev/rdsk.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

Instead of using SMC - why not use the format command - this utility has traditionally allowed the sysadmin to perform disk related tasks. If you plan to be "playing around" with disks on a solaris system - smc is not the tool. If you had intended to use ZFS - you're stuck with the command line (really sucks if you're dependent on GUIs). Either use the free SVM command line or get a copy of Veritas Foundation Basic Suite "free" (but crippled - limited to 4 volumes and 4 filesystems) - http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/sfbasic/index.jsp. At least with Veritas - the GUI will step you thru the entire process of disk management. I can't say that for SVM, with a bit of persistence and skill - you might not be disappointed. I prefer the command line because you can specify a myriad of parameters that the GUIs can't initutively tell you.
Storage Foundation Basic 4.1 is available on the following platforms:
* Solaris 10 x64
* RHEL 4 (Xeon, EM64T and AMD Opteron) and Itanium 2
* SLES 9 (Xeon, EM64T and AMD Opteron) and Itanium 2
Storage Foundation Basic 5.0 is available on the following platforms:
* Solaris 8, 9, 10 (SPARC)
* AIX 5.2/5.3
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4) on EM64T/Opteron
* Novell SUSE Enterprise Linux Server 9 (SLES) on EM64T/Opteron

Solaris Cluster 3.3 on VMware ESX 4.1

Hi there,
I am trying to setup Solaris Cluster 3.3 on Vmware ESX 4.1
My first question is: Is there anyone out there setted up Solaris Cluster on vmware accross boxes?
My tools:
Solaris 10 U9 x64
Solaris Cluster 3.3
Vmware ESX 4.1
HP DL 380 G7
HP P2000 Fibre Channel Storage
When I try to setup cluster, just next next next, it completes successfully. It reboots the second node first and then the itself.
After second node comes up on login screen, ping stops after 5 sec. Same either nodes!
I am trying to understand why it does that? I did every possibility to complete this job. Setted up quorum as RDM from VMware. Solaris has direct access to quorum disk now.
I am new to Solaris and I am having the errors below. If someone would like to help me it will be much appreciated!
Please explain me in more details i am new bee in solaris :) Thanks!
I need help especially on error: /proc fails to mount periodically during reboots.
Here is the error messages. Is there any one out there setted up Solaris Cluster on ESX 4.1 ?

Hi, thanks for reply,
I have already followed the steps also on your links but no joy on this.
What i noticed here is cluster seems to be buggy. Because i have tried to install cluster 3.3 on physical hardware and it gave me excat same error messages! interesting isnt it?
Please see errors below that I got from on top of VMware and also on Solaris Physical hardware installation:
ERROR1:
Comment: I have installed different memories all the time. It keeps sayying that silly error.

Comment: Despite rmt directory is there I gor error below on cluster check
<problem_statement>The /dev/rmt directory is missing.
<analysis>The /dev/rmt directory is missing on this Solaris Cluster node. The current implementation of scdidadm(1M) relies on the existence of /dev/rmt to successfully execute 'scdidadm -r'. The /dev/rmt directory is created by Solaris regardless of the existence of the actual nderlying devices. The expectation is that the user will never delete this directory. During a reconfiguration reboot to add new disk devices, if /dev/rmt is missing scdidadm will not create the new devices and will exit with the following error: 'ERR in discover_paths : Cannot walk /dev/rmt' The absence of /dev/rmt might prevent a failover to this node and result in a cluster outage.

Swap size keeps dropping on Solaris 10 (x86)

Hi,
I have setup Solaris 10 (x86) on a SunFire V20Z, and mirrored my 2 hds.
raidctl c1t0d0 c1t1d0
recently i have been getting system messages that says
WARNING: /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded
when i checked, I noticed that my swap size has dropped. I had setup c1t0d0s1 for swap (2GB).
When i reboot, the system will show the swap as correct, but it will start dropping over a period of time
bash-3.00# swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 28,65 8 4193272 4193272
bash-3.00# swap -s
total: 565248k bytes allocated + 933124k reserved = 1498372k used, 2280600k available
The next day when i check again;
-bash-3.00$ swap -l
swapfile dev swaplo blocks free
/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1 28,65 8 4193272 4193272
-bash-3.00$ swap -s
total: 1344296k bytes allocated + 1676016k reserved = 3020312k used, 642752k available
I have just rebooted my system again because my /tmp has dropped to 8.3MB
swap 8.3MB 4.0K 8.3MB 1% /tmp
My /tmp mount in vfstab shows;
swap - /tmp tmpfs - yes -
Any help?

Well, /tmp and swap are tightly connected to eachother, since its basicly the same thing.
Hence, when you allocate space in /tmp, the amount of available swap will drop, in the same way the amount of space available in /tmp will drop if a lot of swap has been allocated by processes running on the system.
swap -s will show you the amount of unallocated (or free) swap, that it shrinks over time is perfectly normal on most systems, however its not really normal that applications allocates that much swap on a short time.
I suspect that you have an application running on your system which is eating a lot of memory and hence using up your swap space, so next time this problem occour, i'ld run the following;
prstat -a -s size
This will give a list of processes running on the system, and sort them by how much virtual memory they have allocated.
Funny thing; i tested the command above on a S10 server, and found that nfsmapid had allocated about 400 mb. And i'm not even using NFSv4.. smells memory leak.
Hope this explaination is somewhat clear ;)

Solaris 9, V210, bge0 network performance issue

Setup: Solaris 9, V210, single network (bge0).
ndd shows: 100FD
LAN Switch set to 100FD
Network performance bad, in fact very bad. System shows upwards of 19% collisions with netstat -- odd since FD should have no collisions. Network folks have checked switch settings and they are 100FD. I have checked more than once that ndd returns 100FD.
I am not sure what to check next. Thanks for any help you can provide in what to check next or pointing me to something I have missed.
Thanks - Wes

Means your system and the switch aren't playing nicely.
Anytime a Sun internal is showing collisions (don't care what ndd says), it means the interface is probably flip flopping between FD and HD (causing your collisions). The flip flops are causing performance to be MUCH worse then just the collisions ever would.
You might try a new factory made CAT5 network cable.
Then if that doesn't work, you should try using ndd to force the bge interface to 100FD and forcing the switch to 100FD.

Solaris Newbie.. Cannot connect to Internet via network

PROBLEM: I have setup solaris 8 and everything installed properly. I can ping the machines locally but outside the local network
I have a linux server running dns and internet sharing gateway.
In sun, I have added the linux as the default router in /etc/defaultrouter
also added linux as the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf and I have rebooted.
Still I cannot ping outside....anyone help?

Well I solved the problem...
Basically, I had to add the following in nsswitch.conf file
hosts: files dns
Before, I only had files.

How to install a LPR Printer under Solaris 10 01/06

Hi,
I just installed Solaris 10 01/06 2 days ago and so far I'm pretty impressed, really a nice system!
I have one problem, though:
I have a Kyocera FS-1010 printer in my office which is connected to a CNet Printserver.
I'm able to print from other Linux and *BSD boxes to this printer by using CUPS and adding the Printer as a LPR Printqueue.
My question is: Is there a way to do the same under Solaris? As far as I know, Solaris doesn't use CUPS as the default printing system, unlike OSX for example.
Thanks in advance,
Dominik

Is there any reason you haven't ftp'd and then configued cups on Solaris?
