How to install RHEL AS3 on PVS without XF86???

I am trying to install JES05Q4 on RHEL AS3 that is a hosted private virtual server (PVS) at my ISP.
I have succesfully installed many times on my own AS3.
I get the following error when trying on a private virtual server hosted by my ISP
[root@rupture Linux_x86]# ./installer -nodisplay
Attach to native process failed
It is RHEL AS
[root@rupture Linux_x86]# uname -a

I have only done one unusual thing....
Since I do not have a XF86 install, I did the following
# touch /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo
# chmod +x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo<br /><br />... in order to eliminate the following error<br /><a href="mailto:&#91;root&#64;rupture" target="_blank">&#91;root&#64;rupture</a> Linux_x86&#93;# ./installer -nodisplay<br />None of the following are executable<br />/usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo<br />/usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo<br />None of the following are executable<br />/usr/openwin/bin/xdpyinfo<br />/usr/X11R6/bin/xdpyinfo<br />Attach to native process failed<br /><br />How do I install JES without XF86 installed? It fails as above out the box without my first attempt at a workaround. Is there likely some other problem in my configuration causing the native process failure - other than XF86 absence? If I get the script modification right to avoid the check for xdpyinfo, will jes work without XF86 (except DS console)? Does x-view/openwin install on RHEL AS3 as alternative to XF86?<br /><br />XF86 install problem - why I cannot use XF86 <br /> ------------------------------------------------------------ -<br /><br />My X86 install fails due to kernel modifications by the virtual host provider<br /><br />I get following problem trying to install modutils-2.4.25-14.EL.i386.rpm for /sbin/insmod.static that is required by mkinitrd-3.5.13-1.i386.rpm that is required by kernel-2.4.21-27.EL.i686.rpm that is required for kernel-drm that is needed by XFree86-4.3.0-78.EL.<br /><br />It seems ISP is using modified kernel vzdummyrhas3-3.0-1.swsoft<br /><br /># rpm -i modutils-2.4.25-14.EL.i386.rpm<br />warning: modutils-2.4.25-14.EL.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e<br />        file /sbin/insmod from install of modutils-2.4.25-14.EL conflicts with file from package vzdummyrhas3-3.0-1.swsoft<br />        file /sbin/lsmod from install of modutils-2.4.25-14.EL conflicts with file from package vzdummyrhas3-3.0-1.swsoft<br />        file /sbin/modprobe from install of modutils-2.4.25-14.EL conflicts with file from package vzdummyrhas3-3.0-1.swsoft

Please help anyone?????
I have not yet modified the jes install script (can I do this?) ...
....but I have configured XF86 using stubs for the kernel-drm rpm that is the source of conflicts with the VPS kernel ...
... yet I abandoned XF86 since have no device (/dev/tty0) and have configured and used vnc over ssh -X tunnel instead. I can successfully create windows from virtual X-server session but still fail to install JES with or without -nodisplay option. I still get the same error in all cases
&#91;root&#64;rupture Linux_x86&#93;# ./installer -nodisplay
Attach to native process failed
or from VNC session that successfully creates new xterm windows fine (without -nodisplay)
&#91;root&#64;rupture Linux_x86&#93;# ./installer
Attach to native process failed
So this failure to attach to native process maybe an unrelated problem to x-windows. Can anyone explain why may not be able install jes from vnc session?
So my ISP's PVS server has:
1) stubbed kernel that I have had to stub around to get XF86 installed and vnc working.
2) no tty0 device
3) what else? - causing attach failure.
To get XF86 installed despite my restricted PVS, I installed a stub for kernel-drm from ximian that does not offer proper X-windows behavior, but it was simple way to get XF86 dependencies out the way. My question is no longer why I cannot do JES install without XF86, but why cannot I do an install from vnc virtual X server session that is otherwise working, whether using -nodisplay option or not?
I used the following stub for kernel-drm
&#91;kenw&#64;rupture kenw&#93;$ rpm -qa | grep ximian
kernel-drm-stub-4.1.0-0.ximian.1
I was then able to install XF86.

I am not very familiar with X-windows. Should I use MAKEDEV for /dev/tty0 or get XFree86 to use another device or should I create a screen by hand? How does one create a virtual X-server? This is why I just configured vnc and logged in remotely with vnc's X-server to try to install JES.
Any advice welcome? Is it time to abandon this ISP and private virtual server? Most ISPs do not claim RHEL AS3 support... so I guess I am going to unsupported Fedora IV kernels anyway.
Has anyone successfully deployed JES to an ISP's private virtual server? Is there any solaris container's out there yet?

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

    Use guide below to convert it to 'basic' disk, or install windows on another drive. The supported way is to delete all partitions and convert it to a basic disk.

    However, your windows 8.1 must be on another drive?, as windows cannot boot from a dynamic disk.

  • How to install windows 8.1 oem (without installation CD) with Parallels on Mac?

    Have bought a Parallels Desktop 9 bundle that came with Windows 8.1 OEM (with just the product key and no CD). Have successfully installed Parallels on my mid-2013 Macbook Air (without any previous Windows), but just don't know how to install the Windows. The Windows envelop just contains licensing details, no procedures included. Have tried to download the "Windows ADK" thing from the Microsoft OEM page, just wouldn't install at all. Pls help!!! Many thanks!!

    Hi LonerT.  I'm sure that's correct!
    Again, for anyone trying to install Windows8.1 (on parallels-Mac), just as you say "Microsoft also has an online store, which [could] be leveraged to accept Product Keys and allow media downloads on any OS......"
    Indeed, it's a real trap that if you go to the MSFT online store, it says "pay and download!"  But in fact - believe it - the only thing you can download is a small Windows program (!!!) which can only run ON WINDOWS (!!!!!), which is then a "download manager".  Which is kind of bizarre if you think the whole idea is, that it is someone BUYING WINDOWS because they DON'T HAVE IT! 
    If you read the discussion lists even Windows dudes get furious at it - it's like "just have a f'ing link to the file, the iso file".  What the heck is the point of downloading a "Download Manager" ??? Anyways.
    {If, for some reason, you DO HAVE ON HAND the actual DVD (64bit) for Windows8.1, then yes you CAN JUST BUY A PRODUCT KEY online at MSFT's store, which is great.  But then, very few people actually buy Windows8.1 on dvd -- when you buy a "windows laptop" it has a whacky OEM version, etc.}
    It's great fun to have Windows8.1 running in a window on your Mac! (See image below.)
    But again, after vast investigation we found YOU DO NEED TO GET A PHYSICAL DVD.  Fortunately they sell Windows everywhere, you can grab a copy at the local supermarket!
    (You can run Windows8.1 in a mac window, or, full screen as you prefer.  We have had no problems with macs with any number of extra displays, it seems to figure it out.)
    You want the box that looks like this .. "8.1 version complete"
    Use only the 64bit disk, throw away the 32bit disk. The box includes a product key on a piece of plastic.  Again if by coincidence you have a friend with one of these, just use their DVD, and, you can buy a product key at MSFT's online shop. Once again installation is trivial with Parallels10 - but ya gotta get the DVD.

  • How to install yosemite on lion server without server application

    I have osx 10.7.5  (that's all it says when I click about this app, but I know the computer was installed with lion with server app originally).  I don't need nor want the server app, and am happy to remove it one way or another.  Server is currently disabled.  I want to know how to upgrade to mavericks or yosemite without any server aspect at all.  Can it be done?  I have googled until my head has exploded and am none the wiser.  Most people seem to be unsuccessful.  I did previously try to install mavericks when it came out but it came up with some random scary message and I cancelled it. 
    Both my mac mini 2011 disks are in use  for different reasons - one tends to be more operational such as the operating system and apps, the other to save all my photos, videos and files mainly.   I have a separate ext hard drive for time machine back ups.
    I have no tech skills whatsoever, so baby language please.  Be specific.  Outline EVERY step in simple language.  Or I will cry! 
    Thanks!
    Jodi

    There's nothing special you have to do. Just upgrade. The Server app won't come back.

  • How to install OS X 10.8 without an old drive

    Hi, I bought an used MacBook Pro 13 late-2011 (MD313LL/A, A1278 (EMC 2555*)) without HDD on eBay (seller removed HDD for security reason). I am new to Mac world. So how do I install the OS X 10.8 on a new SSD drive? Would it be the same like install Windows 7 from a DVD. I know how to install Windows 7. Where can I get a DVD copy of OS X 10.8?  Thanks.

    No. On that model you install as follows. You will need a good Internet connection, and I recommend using Ethernet.
    Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your newly installed SSD (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. If you have already purchased Mountain Lion from the App Store, then you can re-download it from your Purchases page in App Store.

  • How to install a new hard drive without bootable disc/usb

    Hi- my hard drive has totally failed and although I can get into disk utility it won't let me create images and keeps coming up with input/output errors when I try.
    I don't have another mac to work from and have no discs whatsoever even for older OS versions
    I've ordered a new hard drive(a seagate 750GB 7400rpm one) but how do I get mountain lion on the new hard drive without any discs? If I just put in my new hard drive will it come up with an option? I have a mid 2009 MBP if that helps

    I have a mid 2009 MBP if that helps
    Here is how it helps:
    You need the Utilities from Recovery_HD. Your broken Mac can boot from a Thumb drive.
    Use this article to download this Utility to copy the Recovery_HD from your older, working Mac to a minimum 1GB USB thumb drive:
    OS X: About Recovery Disk Assistant
    Then boot the new mac with the thumb drive by holding down Alt/Option, wait wait wait while it draws an Icon for each bootable Volume, choose the Recovery_HD, choose proceed arrow, and use Disk Utility to erase the drive and create GUID partition Map, 1 partition, Mac OS X Extended (journaled). Then install Mac OS X by download.

  • How re-install OS X Lion fresh without disks?

    Something is wrong with programs or something on my Mac and I want to completely wipe the hard drive and start over with a fresh copy of Lion.  I did a Time Machine backup last night and will then just bring over files one at a time from that external drive as needed.
    On someone's suggestion, I held down the Alt/Option key when powering on and chose the option to re-install the OS.  It said it would take 5+ hrs so I let it run through the night.  But this morning I still saw all of my icons, settings, etc.  I want to COMPLETELY start fresh.
    How can I do this, please.. especially with no disks?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi rcook349,
    id suggest doing as Colin mentioned, and then some:
    1. Using the reformat the drive option
    2. Installing fresh from your original OS disks (you mention you want to install without the disks, but the Lion.app upgrade file is an application which requires a base install - Im not sure how to make this install file bootable)
    3. Running the Lion upgrade
    4. Running the TimeMachine restores

  • How to install Vista off Recovery disk without setting partitions?

    Hi,
    I have my recovery disk and I installed a new 320gb HHD.
    When I installed the recovery disk, it re done the partitions 160gb in each (2 partitions plus 1 recovery partition)...
    But I want to dual boot with XP pro due to software issues and I prefer it sometimes...
    I have redone my partitions, 1st- 51gb for XP pro(32bit), 2nd- 51gb for vista(32gb) and the 3rd- 210gb is for storage
    How do I install with Toshiba vista O/S and stuff that comes with it on the recovery disk, just on to the 2nd partition without touching how I have set the hard drive up....
    I already have about 100gb of pics, music and cam vids on the storage, with nowhere to put them so I cant risk them as some are only copies (so it might be a good idea to let me know how do I back up whats on my storage partition to DVD's please)
    If I cant, then can some1 please tell me how I get my OEM Toshiba vista off this recovery disk or link one to me?
    Hope all this makes sense lol... thanks
    Shane

    If you have so many important material best back up is to buy external HDD and copy all this stuff there. I recommend you to buy small 2,5 external HDD and when necessary you can take it with you and connect to any computer if you want to show or copy this file. External HDDs can be connected to other computers with delivered USB cable.
    Back to your partitions.
    When you use original Toshiba recovery installations DVD you will have 3 partitions.
    -WinRE partition and it belongs to Vista OS. This partition is not visible and this is not a kind of Toshiba recovery partition
    -partition C for Vista
    -partition D/or/E for DATA. On this partition is saved recovery image in folder called HDDRecovery
    I don't know which notebook model do you have but this configuration is on all new Toshiba notebooks delivered WITHOUT recovery media.
    Using Toshiba recovery media you will be able to get exact mentioned partitions structure. Using recovery installations media you WILL NOT be able to install Vista on second partition.
    So if you want to have dual boot with WXP you can do follow:
    -At first you will install Vista with recovery media and on second partition you will install your WXP version
    -At first you will install WXP and then you can install Vista on second partition but you must use Microsoft installations disc. Recovery media cannot be used.
    That's all I can say from my experience with this stuff.

  • How to install Digital River Windows 7 without previous version of windows?

    Hello, I am a new Mac user and currently a student that qualifies for the 30$ digital river version of windows, and I would like to put that on my mac before the offer expires Jan. 5th. I do not have any version of windows on my Mac currently. I have searched the web for two hours and have not found anything useful. Can someone please explain to me how to use the install before I purchased my software? I have heard that you can install the version without using the activation key, and starting a free trial then reinstall it using the activation key to skip having a previous version of windows. Any help would be great.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?
