Install a package from Solaris 10 cd

Hello,
I accidentaly removed a package (namely SUNWgcc) from the system. I have the Solaris 10 CDs. Is it possible to install this package for the CD? I check the CD and it looks like SUNWgcc on it is not a package that I can install with pkgadd -d.
Thank You,
PN.

This does not seem to work from the Solaris 10 CD 1 -
the CD directory structure is different.
Specifically I am trying to install SUNWmfrun which
is in the /cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg directory.Don't go there.
Stay in the Product directories on the CDs. You'll find the package there.
However this directory doesn't have a pkgmap file in
it so running the pkgadd command fails. No, that's not a package. /var/sadm/pkg contains information about the package database, so some of the files and directories there have the same name as packages (but they're not packages).
Further investigation shows another directory,
/cdrom/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg/SUNWmfrun/save/pspool/SUN
Wmfrun which does have that file, but running pkgadd
against that directory fails completely.Still not a package.
How can I use pkgadd to add packages from the first
CD in the Solaris 10 installation?The packages are in the 'Product' directory.
Your paths seem odd. You have a normally booted host and you're just inserting the CD? What are the contents of /cdrom?

  • Install all packages from a given repository?

    Is there a way to install every package from a given repository? For example, say I wanted to install every package from core (or at least every non-conflicting package, since systemd-sysvcompat is an issue)? I thought maybe something like '# pacman -S core' might do it, but it didn't.
    Back when AIF was still around, I could do this by checking everything at install time, but now it's a multi-step process to collect all the packages and then install them.

    For me, I found I was using most of what was in [core] and it was easier for me to just install everything in it than to weed out the handful that I didn't need. Yes, I know there are _that_ many packages in [core], I'm just _that_ lazy.
    In another scenario, I could see someone wanting to have an uber-system with absolutely everything possible and available installed. I used to do this a few years back with distros like Fedora where I would do a complete install.

  • Install single package from testing

    I just switched to Arch from Gentoo, and so far it's been mostly great. What I want to do right now is install 1 package from testing, and only that one. Is there an easy way to do this, besides uncommenting the testing repo, installing xorg-server, and commenting testing again? Basically (if you're familiar with Gentoo and emerge), I want to know what pacman's equivalent to /etc/portage/package.keywords is. Alternatively, if there's a way to make kde4 not absurdly slow with a relatively new ultra-low-end nvidia card (9300m), then I'm up for that as well. Additional background for this question is that I was hoping the newest (beta) drivers might alleviate this issue, but they depend on an xorg-server version that only exists in testing. I don't want to run testing, but if the new drivers help, then I'd be willing to run them (along with any reasonable, if unstable, dependencies). Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forums.
    If you upgrade only xorg-server, you're going to have problems. There are other packages designed to be used with it.
    With that being said, you can always put testing as the last repo in /etc/pacman.conf. Then if you want to upgrade one package, you explicitly call it with pacman -S testing/<package_name>.

  • How to install a package from a disc

    i have the file     sudo-1.7.2p3.tar    on a disk and i need to know how to install a package from a cd, what lines do i need to type to install it?:|

    If you are running as root, you can execute that command as ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta.o and there is no need for sudo.
    Btw, what wireless card is this? Have you tried searching for a pacman package for it?
    To access the cd drive, use the mount command. Enter man mount to read the manual. (I assume you do not have a graphical environment set up yet.)

  • Installing .rpm packages onto solaris 10.

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me by providing the steps to install .rpm package into solaris 10 os?
    Thanks

    RPM is just a packaging format, and the tools are available on the Solaris Software Companion CD, in the SFWrpm package. You would need to install the package on your system in order to get the RPM tools.
    But I think Pascal's point is that the payload is typically Linux binaries, so installing a Linux RPM on Solaris would not be productive. But you could certainly install a source package, for example, or create your own RPM containing Solaris binaries.

  • Install some packages from [testing] repository

    Hello Guys,
    Could you suggest me how can I install and update from time to time only several packages from testing but not all of that repository?
    Have a nice day,

    There are completely valid scenarii where you can use only few packages from testing (see above, the linux kernel for example). Also, using different libs versions is not a heresy (simlinking is) so there are very few comments in this thread that would have been much more constructive without the condescending tone. Or should we, from now on, consider our fellow users as all dumb in opposition to competent linux users [1] as it has always been ?

    It is NOT safe to assume that ALL readers are competent. Just browse through the forums every once in a while. Hence care should be taken in giving advise.
    This is not a private club, things posted here are read by many competent Arch users and some incompetent as well. Results show up in a Google search. Even though its perfectly valid for me to wash my motherboard in water to get rid of dust, I wouldn't post that advise here without big WARNING tags. This isn't an indication that I assume all users are idiots, but simply that I know there are some who will not understand the 'ifs' associated with such a thing.

  • Error Installing with Package from CCP

    Hi,
    Apologies if there's a CCP board; I didn't see it in the menu.
    I used Creative Cloud Packager to make a package of apps for Mac.
    Installing the package using Apple Remote Desktop returns ".. could not be installed.  Error message: "Running package scripts...""
    When I run it locally on any machine (10.6 or 10.9), it responds with this error:
    The installation progress slows to a crawl about 3/4 of the way through "Running package scripts..." then after a few minutes returns "The installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail.  Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    Nothing relevant seems to appear in the console log.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Problem installing a package from AUR

    I'm not expecting anyone to install this package just to try and answer my question but,,
    I have /home on a 10 gig space ext3 and it's only 2% full.
    When I try and install doom3-phantasm, the package downloads, builds and when it's time to install a window says not enough space to install.
    No way this single game is over 9.5 gigs.
    I'm not even seeing where it's trying to install to.
    Is this a problem with the package build or am I not seeing something?

    I wrote the pkgbuild, so I've got it installed
    $ pacman -Ql doom3-phantasm
    doom3-phantasm /opt/

  • Adding packages from solaris 8 install disks

    I need Solaris Make for Solaris 8. I have installed Solaris 8 off of downloaded Solaris 8 install disks. I apparently forgot to include Solaris Make in the install and now need to add it. When I copy the pkg SUNWxcu4t (the pkg for make and scc) and pkgadd it it claims installation is sucessful but still I have no make. It is supposed to install to /usr but there is no make there.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Ok I have all of my compilling isuse resolved!
    Just in case anyone else browsing this forum has the same problems here is what I have learned:
    These are the relevent Packages:
    for tools (ar, sccs, lex, yacc, make, nm, truss, ld, as)
    SUNWbtool, SUNWsprot, SUNWtoo
    for libraries & headers:
    SUNWhea, SUNWarc, SUNWlibm, SUNWlibms
    SUNWdfbh, SUNWcg6h
    for ucb compat:
    SUNWsra, SUNWsrh
    You definatly need to use Solaris make (found in SUNWsprot), Solaris ar (found in SUNWbtool),
    gnu tar, and gnu cc both from sunfreeware.com (I love pkg-get ^_^)
    either add /opt/sfw/bin/ to your path or put a dynamic link for gcc into /usr/local/bin/ I prefer the latter.
    and add /usr/ccs/bin/ to your path permanently.
    Thanks for your help every one.

  • Install pacman packages from Firefox

    I like to browse for Arch packages in http://www.archlinux.org/packages, so I created a Greasemonkey script to allow me to install packages right from Firefox.
    The script is available in http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/67944. It uses an external url handler for pacman, so after installing the script, make sure to follow the instructions in the script page to create this handler.

  • How to install packages from local folder

    Hi all,
    I have downloaded all arch linux packages from the following URLs:
    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/
    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/
    ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/community/os/i686/
    and then have saved them to an external hard disk. Then I have attached that external hard disk to my system and packages are available in following folders:
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Core-OS/
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-1/
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-2/
    /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Community-OS-3/
    Now I want to install some or all packages from these folder with the help of pacman command. I am seeing that package corresponding to wvdial command is available in the /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ folder. But how to use pacman command so that I can install wvdial package from that folder?
    In addition to this if I want to install ALL Extra Packages available in the folders /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-1/ and /mnt/external_hd/Arch_Linux/Extra-OS-2/ then how to execute the pacman command?
    Please send me step by step instructions so that I shall be able to install some or all downloaded packages.
    I shall remain thankful for this forever.

    Hi fukawi2,
    Thanks for reply and searching for my username on google. It is true that I am a freelance s/w developer but I am not installing Arch Linux for any client. I am installing it due to some other reasons. In fact I started working on Red Hat and then on Fedora when I was a student of bachelor degree course in computer applications. Then later I searched open suse and started using it. I am using open suse from its 10.1 version. However the recent version of this distribution has become much resource consuming. So I am in the need of a light weight linux distribution. And I encountered Arch Linux. Then I purchased its installation disk from an online shop and installed it on my system. But only text mode is working at this moment. Since I want to use X window and so I started to follow the syntax of pacman command. But it is connecting to internet. Since my internet connection is slow (average speed of 10kbps) and so I requested the same online shop to download all packages from Arch Linux repository and send them to me. Therefore now I am having all those packages in my local external hard disk drive in the folder mentioned in my first post. Now I want to install packages from these folder. And so in order to get help I have come to this forum.
    I have also followed the steps given on the pages https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … l_commands and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … repository. But when I am trying to install a particular package using the following command:
    pacman -U wvdial
    then it is asking for a dependency. I know that  the dependent package in my local folder but why it is not being automatically taken by pacman command? Can you please explain it.
    That is why I am asking help only for customization and usages of pacman in order to install packages from local folder. But each member in this forum is only referring to long written manuals and not giving me exact solution which I think will involve four/five steps.
    Best Regards ...

  • Searching and installing packages from testing w/o editing pacman.conf

    Is this possible?

    tomk wrote:Installing individual packages from the testing repo is not recommended as they are likely to depend on testing versions of other packages. The only supported way of using the testing repo is to enable it at the top of the list in pacman.conf.
    I don't understand why that is true.
    If I enable the testing repo and update a package (pacman -S package), and if the dependencies are set correctly, the dependencies from testing needed should also be installed/updated, right?
