Fontconfig-2.4.2 package incompatibility w/Solaris 10 5/08 x86

FYI, I found that after installing this package via pkgadd from http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexintel10.html the startup of the window manager would hang indefinitely when attempting a desktop login.
A perusal of pkginfo also shows that there is already a fontconfig package bundled with the OS:
system SUNWfontconfig Fontconfig library
system SUNWfontconfig-docs Fontconfig library documentation
system SUNWfontconfig-root Fontconfig library configuration files
I installed the freeware package because another package I wanted to install (gd) was dependent on it.
Once I deinstalled the freeware package, the desktop login worked, so it looks like installation of the freeware package should be avoided.
To note, I'm running Solaris 10 5/08 x86 on an IBM ThinkPad T60, although I don't believe this issue is hardware specific.

FYI, I just noticed the same conflict on SPARC boxes too. A simple "pkgrm SMCfontc" removes the package and solves the problem.

About incompatibility between Solaris 10 and Solaris 8

Dear all
I am investigating about incompatibility between Solaris 10 and Solaris 8.
But I can't find incompatibility information (I can find some compatibility imformation).
Please tell me about that if you know.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Programs running on Solaris 8 should run on Solaris 10, but programs that run on Solaris 10 won't necessarily run on Solaris 8.
Solaris is always forward-compatible.

Installation of SUNWfontconfig packages on a Solaris 12/03 release?

Hi!
I have a SunfireV880 with the following release installed:
Solaris 9 12/03 s9s_u5wos_08b SPARC
# I have applied the the following 9_Recommeded Patch cluster to the system but I found the following ERROR in the
/var/sadm/install_data/Solaris_9_Recommended_Patch_Cluster_log
Installing 117203-05...
Checking installed patches...
One or more patch packages included in
117203-05 are not installed on this system.
Patchadd is terminating.
Installing 117201-09...
Checking installed patches...
ERROR: This patch requires patch 117203-04
which has not been applied to the system.
After some analysis of dependencies I installed patch 116105-06 and tried to apply patch 117204-05 and 117203-04 but both failed since SUNWfontconfig is not installed.
I found the missing packages on the Solaris 9 9/05 Disk 1
SUNWfontconfig/
SUNWfontconfig-64/
SUNWfontconfig-docs/
SUNWfontconfig-root/
I have also installed
hostxxx:opt/patch> pkginfo | grep SUNWzlib
system SUNWzlib The Zip compression library
system SUNWzlibx The Zip compression library (64-bit)
Is there any way to install SUNWfontconfig* packages safely without doing a complete Solaris 9 9/05 release upgrade?
Any known dependencies
I have tried to Google for a solution to this issue but with no sucess.
Appreciate any input.

I was wrong about VCS not being important for the installation of the database on a zone. The database installed fine outside of VCS control from the Oracle 11gR2 download online, however, VCS 6.0 PR1 does not seem to support Oracle agents for Solaris 11, this is what their software requirements are:
Supported software for VCS agent for Oracle
The VCS 6.0 Platform Release 1 agent for Oracle supports the following software
versions in a Veritas Cluster Server (VCS) environment:
Oracle 10g R2, Oracle 11g R1, and Oracle 11g R2 (including 64-bit
versions)
Note: Veritas Cluster Server agent for Oracle supports the specified
Oracle versions on Solaris if Oracle supports that version on Solaris.
Refer to the Veritas Cluster Server Release Notes for more details.

Solaris 8 for intel x86

Hi,
i want to download the solaris 8 for x86. can any body guide me to find the download link because i can able to find the solairs 8 download link on sun website.

Since Solaris 8 is now an officially discontinued product,
you might only be able to get it if you buy used media sets
on an online auction site such as Ebay.
Could you describe your hardware?
I remember using Solaris 8 on an x86 system.
For what it did, it was good.
However there was a very limited set of hardware that would function.
If I remember correctly, your concern should be as to:
What is your motherboard chipset?
What is your disk controller chipset?
What is your video card?
What network adapter are you planning to use?
What sound card do you own?
I had it on an Intel 440LX P-II.
Only the integrated IDE connectors were recognized.
I had an 8mb ATI Rage PCI card that let me see what I was doing.
Only about two or three specific NICs worked, such as 3C905TX or a DC21140.
My original real Soundblaster 16 (ISA slot) was able to give me the beeps and chirps necessary.
If you're hoping for most anything made in the last couple of years, then forget it.
(... and forget about USB peripherals other than USB 1.x devices like keyboard/mouse)

Solaris 10 10/08 x86 DVD will not boot, workaround inc.

hi,
Downloaded the Solaris 10 10/08 x86 DVD. It will not boot up at all with the 2 Gigabyte boards I have tryed it with. GA-G33-DS3R and GA-N650SLI-DS4L I downloaded the ISO twice and checked the checksum. Burnt the DVD 4 times! The DVD works fine with my Eee PC 900 over usb. Booting the 2 gigabyte board over usb works a bit better, they get to GRUB but they still dont work correctly.
I am using IDE DVD drives with the 2 gigabyte boards. I have never had a problem like his before with my hardware. Been experimenting with lots of diffrent Linux distro's recently and they all booted fine from DVD's I have burnt from downloaded ISO's.
I have tryed the CD install disks, CD1 boots up and start the install OK, but would not finish corrctly for me. Some other problem am not going into.....
The DVD workaround I am using.
Boot up the system with am old Solaris DVD.
At the very first menu, press an arrow key to stop the 6 second timer.
Remove the old Solaris DVD and replace it with the new Solaris 10 10/08 DVD.
Wait a few seconds and select Solaris from the menu.
The install program will now continue with the new DVD. If you dont have am old solaris DVD, you could try downloading CD1 and booting that then swapping it out fot the new DVD. Not tryed this myself.

Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 (x86) VM hangs

Hello,
I have downloaded Oracle VM Template for Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 (x86) from Oracle Software Delivery Cloud
and created a VM out of it. When I start it the blue Oracle Solaris screen is displayed in the console and the VM hangs.
OVS version: 3.2.6
Hardware: Sun Server X3-2 (Formerly Sun Fire X4170 M3)
VM config:
Memory:4GB
CPU:4
Disk:40GB

Yes, but it did not help.
I did finally manage to boot Solaris 10 1/13 by changing "xvda" to "hda"
in the vm.cfg. That said, there's still a problem: the OS takes over 20 minutes
to boot.

Install Wls6.0 on Solaris 8.0 for x86

I have a pc with Solaris 8.0 for x86 installed .I also install jre1.3 on it.
When I try to install wls6.0 on it ,there comes an error message"can't find
libjava.so ".
I've found the file libjava.so at path "j2re1_3_0/lib/i386/" .
Why the installer didn't find the file ??

create a link (or copy the files) from your $JDK13/bin/i386 to the /usr/bea/jdk130/bin.

However, when I tried to start the server from under mydomain,

I did copy the i386 directory from the J2SDK SE 1.3.0 home to

Is there a sleep/hibernate mode for Solaris 10-u8-ga-x86?

I finally have a version of Solaris 10 running on my HP DV 6500t laptop. Is there a way to set-up Solaris 10-u8-ga-x86 to sleep/hibernate when the lid is closed? Then wake up when the lid is opened?
I don't want to shutdown my laptop when I take it on the road, such as to the coffee shop.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
kaialii

I just noticed on build 134 of OpenSolaris that the Shutdown Icon now has an option to suspend.

Package name in Solaris 10

Hi,
I try to uninstall the following path:
/usr/spool/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic
for all the printer model files.
Is there a Solaris 10 Package name associate with these files that I can use pkgrm to do?
Thanks!

You can get the associated package name by running:
grep lp\/model\/ppd\/system\/foomatic /var/sadm/install/contents | awk '{ print $10 }' | sort -u

Managing JAVA JDK and JRE with Package Management in Solaris 11.1

I want to manage Java JDK & JRE in an Solaris environment using Package Management I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 in a VMWare host. My current latest Java release is JDK1.7.0_07 and JRE1.7.0_07. I want to upgrade to JDK1.7.0_17 & JRE1.7.0_17 using Package Management. I've tried on several occasions to upgrade to latest release of Java but I have not been successful. Each time I try using the Package Management GUI or use command line they appear to be successful but the new release does not show.
What could I be doing wrong?
Thanks

I also learned that the READMEs for the following patches in My Oracle Support also describe the downgrave process:

pls tell me what

You need to either use the full path - /opt/sfw/bin/rpm or add /opt/sfw/bin/ to the path statement in your profile.
If you are trying to run from the /opt/sfw/bin/ directory then you do the following:
# ./rpm
RPMs are mainly for Linux. I have seen only a couple RPMs for Solaris in the last 15 years and they came from a third-party vendor. What are you trying to install??
