Linux emulation in Solaris 10

Hello, I am having trouble getting a Linux program to work in Solaris 10 build 61. I took bin/mktemp, lib/ld-linux.so.2, and lib/ld-2.2.5.so from Debian stable and the program dumped core with FLTBOUNDS / SIGSEGV when I ran it with chroot . bin/mktemp. I also tried a non-chroot variant with libraries copied to /lib, running a stand-alone lib/ld-linux.so.2, a different Linux flavour (ASPLinux) -- nothing helps. Could anyone please shed some light on what is the proper way of running Linux programs in Solaris?

There are rumors that a future Solaris 10 release might be able to execute native linux binaries.
Solaris 10 b60 is not able to run native linux binaries, AFAIK.
You may be able to run a native linux application with the help of "lxrun".

Network Emulation on Solaris

Recently I've begun developing server software on Solaris, but just realized I can't find anything like Linux's netem (tc) or any other tool for Network Emulation (for controlling things like bandwidth, latency, drop rates, etc...). Is there any software for Network Emulation on Solaris? Or will I have to setup a Linux-box as a bridge?
Thanks!

How can I run the toolkit/emulator on Solaris?

I am demonstrating applications to customers that has a mobile device MIDlet that interacts with a webservice that is running on SJSAS81SE. I am trying to showcase Sun's products but I can't find a method to run an emulator on Solaris. Even netbean's 4.1 mobile pack only runs on Linux or Windows.
If there isn't a workaround I will either have to carry 2 machines with me (1 Solaris of the appserver and 1 Windows for the emulator) or I can switch to running Windows.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does this run Desktop software, or "Apps"?

Linux support on Solaris 10 x86

When we are trying to run linux binaries on solaris 10 getting the following error:
update_records: Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2
update_records: this is linux binary.
Whereas Solaris 10 features states that we can run the linux binaries on solaris 10 natively. Let me know in which release of solaris 10 do we have support for linux libraries

That feature doesn't exist yet. It's suppose to come in a future update of Solaris 10. Your only option if you want to run Linux binaries natively is to use "lxrun"--otherwise get the source, if possible, and recompile.

Can I use LINUX Drivers in Solaris 10...

As a beginner, I have installed Solaris 10 version 08/07 onto my system. The motherboard is ASUS M2A-VM, with integrated graphics, network interface, audio, etc...
My audio and network interface are not working... The motherboard came with a cd which has windows drivers and additional software.
It also has linux drivers for:
Audio:
Core5
Core6
Linux
RHEL4
SUSE10
Other
realtek-linux-audiopack-4.05f
LAN
FreeBSD
Linux
SCO_OpenServer6
Unixware7.x
Chipset, and RAID!
Has anyone used any of these ASUS Linux drivers with Solaris...
If so what steps do I need to take to get them to work on my system! (I hate to ask, I know you all have better things to do) Maybe you can point me to a good book that explains how to go step by step...
My question is how do I get my NIC to work (What steps do I need to follow? the sound is not an issue, as, I can do with out that. Will any of the drivers mentioned above work?) thank you in advance for your answers...

Drivers are the "connective tissue" between the Operating System and the hardware. The connections from the drivers to the OS are not compatible between different operating systems, so no, you cannot use Linux drivers in Solaris.
If the OS is similar enough you can sometimes get away with it -- example, using Solaris 9 drivers in Solaris 10. But between completely different OSes? Won't work.

Problem with Linux executable in solaris

Hello

I would be thankfull if someone tell me how to solve the problem.
Thanks Raji

You need lxrun do be able to run Linux binaries on Solaris x86. You can get it at
http://soldc.sun.com/freeware/details/detail_lxrun_0.9.6.1_8_Intel.html
I've never used it, so please post your results here.

Installing Linux Apps in Solaris Container

Is there a how-to or similar documentation showing how to install and run a Linux app under Solaris 10 x86?
I am particularly interested in running Linux WordPerfect 8/8.1.
I have successfully installed WP8.1/Linux with Free BSD so I have some experience in this sort of grafting.

Hi
You have a few options, none of them are great.
1. Wait for "brandz" (basically, other OS personalities in zones). No idea when this will be available, but I wouldn't count too much on it being in 2006.
2. lxrun. This is part of the companion CD - I'm not aware of any more up-to-date versions (though I've not looked in places like Blastwave). This will require one of 2 suboptions
a) that you install Linux on your UFS filesystem or
b) you install Linux on another partition on your disk/another disk and use an ext2fs driver* to mount the Linux parttion.
The SFW lxrun dates from the time of RedHat 6 or 7.

Graphical Terminal Emulator for Solaris

hi all,
can anyone recommend a graphical terminal emulator for solaris? i'd like to see the solaris graphical desktop from a windows PC.
thanks!

Quite good is commercial XWin by Starnet. Demo version enables 30 minutes of uninterrupted work. I assume that You know all about minor slip in Xsetup file in Solaris distribution.

Linux Support in Solaris 10

So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?
I downloaded the free Software Express for Solaris x86 Platform (11/04) and installed it on a Dell 8600 P4 1.8 system. Fresh install on a new hard drive. Then I tried to install the new FireFox web browser for Linux. Received the following error: �Cannot find /lib/ld-linux.so.2�. I was logged in as Root. Ran a search of the entire system and found nothing using pattern �ld-linux*�.
ED :(

So where is the LINUX support in the new Solaris 10?It does not exist (at least not outside of Sun).
There are rumours that it will be available in one of the Solaris
10 update releases. In case S10 FCS will be available in
january/february 2005, and the rumour are true, I'd expect that
the linux support will be available somewhere in june 2005 (??
S10 Update 1) or october 2005 (?? S10 Update 2). (Pure
speculation be me, I don't know the schedule)

[Solved] Arch Linux in a Solaris branded Zone

Hello,
After having read this article at the Genunix WiKi, I 'd very much like to install Arch Linux (http://204.152.191.100/wiki/index.php/I … anded_zone) in a Solaris branded Zone. However, the Arch Linux file to download is about two years old now, so I 'd like to roll one with a bit more recent kernel.
I just wonder what might be the procedure to do so.
a) Is it just unpacking the ISO inside the zone and let it enroll whilst booting?, or
b) is it advisable to install the old package and upgrade from there?
I am quite curious to learn how this works.
TIA, Algey

Hi,
it does indeed sound like an interesting little project. You should, however, revert to your procedure (a) and use one of the recent ISO images the Arch team has updated this year.
Using that old tar will give you numerous headaches when trying to upgrade. Doing a simple upgrade from that old file will most probably break the system, thats why they took the effort to provide the new ones.
Good luck.

Intall X3270 Terminal emulator on Solaris 10 x86

Hi! I'm trying to install IBM 3270 Terminal Emulator from source code on solaris 10 x86. I had some problems when I run ./configure but was PATH's configuration. Now I'm trying to run make but at certain moment the folowing erro return:
makeconv -d . -p icudt3l ibm-837_P100-2000.ucm
sh: makeconv: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `icudt3l_ibm-837_P100-2000.cnv'
I tried to find this 'makeconv' but I haven't found. Does anybody have some esperience with the instalation of X3270? Thank's a lot.

problem 1 is that it's looking for ../../s0.. Which I
managed to
fake out by creating the dir in the same mount
point.
Problem 2 is that it can't find .tmp_proto, which I
must
concur with. I can't find that on any of the b72 cd
images.
So, the setup_install_server fails.This seems to be the problem when you try to setup an install
server on a Solaris SPARC system for Solaris x86 clients, using
the Solaris 9 or Solaris 10/Express CD media.
There's a Solaris x86 UFS filesystem on slice 0 on the CD media,
and it's supposed to be mounted on the "s0" mount point,
otherwise setup_install_server won't work. On a Solaris x86 box,
vold mounts it automatically for you: /cdrom/cdrom0/s2 is the
mount point for the platform independant ISO9660 part of the CD
media, /cdrom/cdrom0/s0 is the UFS root filesystem.
Problem is that Solaris SPARC:
- does not understand Solaris x86 disk labels
- does not allow mounting x86 UFS filesystems
(and vice versa).
AFAIK, Solaris 9 DVD media does not have this problem. I
guess the same will be true when Solaris 10 DVD media is
available in a few months. On the DVD media there's enough
free space to include an extra copy of the files in the ISO9660
filesystem.

Can I convert Linux library to Solaris?

Im sun user. using SUN FIRE V1280.
I got free crypto library compiled on Linux. Im using solaris sparc.
I couldn't run this code, due to different archeticture.
How to convert this library to solaris sparc, so that i can run it.
the library file extention is ".a"
Thanks in advance

You cannot convert a binary created for an x86 platform for use on a SPARC platform.
See if you cant get a Solaris/SPARC version of the binary. If not, maybe you can get the source code and build it yourself.
