Multimedia programs for Solaris 10

Hi All,
I am looking some multimedia programs like mp3 players, avi players, jpg viewers.
I have found some but installing it (for example vlc) is very difficult.
Maybe you know some web page where I can find more programs for Solaris.
Kind regards,
Daniel

good luck.
Real player is now included automagically. It covers most of what you can do. There are some oss types out there that allow a little more coverage but not much.
XMMS is the only really decent jukebox I have found and I believe it works quite well for mp3s.
I am sure others have some better advice. Blastwave is where I get xmms.

PPPoe Keep-Alive Program for Solaris 8?

Is there a PPPoE Keep-alive program for Solaris 8? I need this because my DSL provider keeps knocking me off and therefore I lose my connection. I would prefer the program be precompiled if there is one available.
-Thanks in advance

It sounds like you are accidentally running NIS. Somewhere, you told your system that "mydomain.net" was your NIS domain. Look to see if you have an /etc/defaultdomain file. Remove it. You don't have NIS, and you probably have the wrong /etc/nsswitch.conf setup then, too.
Try copying /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf (make a backup first).
Verify that you have 'nameserver' entries in /etc/resolv.conf and a 'domain mydomain.net' entry at the very beginning. This is where you let the system know your Internet domain (well, also in the fully-qualified domain name of your machine in your /etc/hosts file).
In your /etc/hosts file, the first name of your machine should be the FQDN, then a short alias, if you are going to use one, and probably "loghost". You might put "loghost" as an alias for "localhost".
Make sure your 'hostname' reflects the FQDN, or mail might not like it. Try setting the hostname with 'uname -S <hostname>' if it isn't correct.
Good luck.

Also I need ndiswrapper support for solaris 10

I have a linksys -G type router and my computer uses a Linksys Wireless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster
which works in Linux like mandrake , debian systems like knoppix and kanotix but their are some buggy like debian also that don't let me change the essid in debian but most linux works with the drivers for my card which are
04/13/2004 10:01 AM 7,870 BCM43XX.CAT
03/31/2004 08:44 AM 11,960 BCMWL5.INF
02/19/2004 11:51 AM 300,928 BCMWL5.SYS
normally you install the drivers with ndiswrapper -i BCMWL5.INF then use -m to add it too the model loader program in linux which adds wlan0 to ifconfig and iwconfig programs
which also ndiswrapper requires the source code of the kernel to install the ndiswrapper right , it req. it too compile the drivers, and using the linux gui programs to setup essid and key wep info
also I use a script in kanotix to use /etc/network/interfaces to load the info on bootup etc.. to get my wireless network card up in linux.
also how the support for soundblaster sound cards in solaris 10, I have not fingured out if theirs sound yet. freebsd 5.4 seemed to be missing the sound support
one more thing in bootup of the install program for Solaris 10 my geforce 6800 card detected right but my tv output was all wrong in since the picture , was only on the monitor and tv had stange graphics on it which did not look right I hope nvidia drivers fix this problem , Is their any different command needed for clone mode in Solaris 10 then free86 nd xorg scripts use?

I got the solutiion from Canon Customer Serivce, temporary until the 10.10 download is released. It works:
"You can download the latest software updates at this address:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/professional/professional_cameras/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_...
Please select "OS X Mavericks v10.9" using the drop-down menu on the page. You have to pick the previous version of Mac OS, because the options for OS X 10.10 Yosemite have not yet been populated.

Multimedia Book for JMK? How to pack java program to other platforms?

Hello all,
I'm just a new Java user, I hope that it is a right place to ask silly some questions:
1> Recommend JMK books: We are using the Forte CE 3.0 and JMK2.1.1 "Multimedia kit" for audio and MIDI application. Could anyone please recommends some good practical books, especialy on Java MIDI/MCI apps?
2> Can't launch Forte CE: It seems to have problem on one of our PCs, the error message like "Cannot load jvm.dll" on the 98SE, It was working fine before. I have other setup just works great on Wins-2000 (other PCs). What is wrong? how do I fix it? Please advice.
3> How do I pack the java project to various platform-client-user? Let say on the Porte project, I'm using traditional AWT and beans coding, I know it works here PCs. I want to ensure it will work with other platform SPARC, HP, Intel-PC or MAC. Question is what do they(clients) need in order to use our Java application programs, I know we can generate a single .exe file for PC-Winsdows, what about others (Sun, HP, Mac)? Any version compatible issue that we should be aware of?
4> I'm looking for C/C++ to Java conversion program, any ideas?
Best regards,
Long

Hi,
Just summarize questions, Please helps if you would help any one of those (don't have to be all), it would be appreciated.
1> Recommend JMK books?
2> can't launch Forte CE?
3> How do I pack the java project to various platforms to client-user?

Multimedia Cluster / software distro for Solaris 9

Hello all!
I was wondering if there is any sort multimedia cluster available for Sun OS 5.9. A software distribution having some sort of multimedia applications for video, audio and stuff.... Otherwise one gets bored sometime on dry solaris. Had heard previously about Sun MediaCentre...What about it? Is it still available from SUN?? Are there any other third party clusters available ???

There's plenty of stuff out there you can get for multimedia: xmms, xine; there are even Windows media player and Real Player for Solaris floating around...can't get them from the official sites anymore, I don't think...

Programming for the Sun/Solaris env.

I have been a VC++ developer for sometime now.
I am investigating the viability of developing s/w for Solaris.
Java seems a reasonable attempt at a development language , however I would like to know what is happening in the development world with C++/Solaris?
Can any one tell me what c++ dev api's exist for Solaris?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Having looked at your website I would value your
opinion on the following matter regarding software
development.
In previous years Java has been critised on the basis
of performance and I am concerned about this issue.Except for a few problem domains performance of any language is always superceded by the requirements and design of the system. In other words it does not matter what language you use. (Unfortunately there are still people who think that is not true.)
>
I have a couple of years experience as a contract c++
developer on Microsoft and am considering moving my
skill set to Solaris.
Java seems a easy language to learn,has a thorough
class library and seems to cater very well for
internet development.
Q1. Should one abandon c++ and use java for internet
apps. No idea. It depends on what you want to do. If you like gui then java is probably a good bet. If you like device drivers then it is useless. If you like databases then forget both and start learning SQL.
Keep in mind that small businesses employe most people. And small businesses are more likely to use windows. So if you like small shops then stick with windows. OS choice and language choice are two different things though.
>
Q2. What type of development do you think still
warrants coding in c++?
Many types. Device drivers. All embedded work (tvs, refrigerators, cars, etc.) OS kernels. Intensive number crunching. Encryption - any small problem domain were performance of the language can make a difference.
There are still many shops that still only use C++. And they will continue to do so for new products. There is a vast amount of legacy code that must be maintained and added to. None of that is going to go away.

Is fake utility program for sun sparc solaris 2.6 available.?

Hai ,
Fake is a IP address take over tool used in linux.
"fake is a simple utility designed to enable the switching in of backup servers buy bringing up an additional interface and using arp spoofing to take over the ip address. Either additional physically or logical interfaces can be used."This is all about fake.
I searched a lot to get fake utility for solaris 2.6.but i could't.
Is any fake utility version for solaris .? or the same of its kinds.?
Please help me
Thank you
Arun

hai Alan,
Let me specific on the problem.
I developed a fail-over software for Linux servers(need 2 servers of same configuration). In this servers ,there are two modes , Active and passive mode. At a time one can be active,and other passive. Clients can communicate the with the servers through a common alias ip address. But the actual ip address of servers can be different.Normally Active server would be having the alias ip.
When switching take place from active to passive mode,server will be assigned with its actual ip address. When switching takes place other passive server becomes active and its get common alias ip address.?
This is the actual scenario . And fake is used in Linux to refresh the arp table of immediate switching device.
But i came to know that solaris os would do it normally when it switches .?
Is this possible with solaris.?

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7

MultiMedia Center for Think Offerings for Windows XP and 2000 -- will not install on Windows 7 in compatibility mode or any other way. I receive error " can not open \device\memory" and then " This program can not run on his hardware.
Thinkcenter E series 8291-ETU --- upgraded from XP to Windows 7 yesterday.
Any ideas on how to get this product installed in Windows 7 ?

I recently did a clean install of Win7 Ult on my X61 7676A24, and this is the only Lenovo software that I could not find a Win 7 solution for. However,
1. I was able to load WinDVD8 upgrade (from Lenovo's Win7 information page) after first loading the WinDVD5 version that was the last good release for Vista.
2. The Multimedia Center for Think Offerings is basically Roxio's suite for writing cd/dvd's, drag to disc and so on.
Since I could not load this anyway, I was forced to try out Win7's inbuilt cd/dvd writing - it works perfectly well. Even better, Win7 natively supports an excellent ISO burning tool. So, I think if you explore these inbuilt tools, you can probably live without the Mul Cent for Think Off.

License for cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86

I'd like to do cross-compilation for solaris 10 sparc on Linux x86 using gcc (for linux). To do that, I have to copy libraries (/lib/64) and includes (/usr/include) from a sparc machine to my linux machine.
The compilation will be run on about (up to) 50 Linux machines (by various developers). We also have 3 solaris-10-SPARC machines.
I wonder if Solaris license allows me to copy the includes and libs to perform compilation elsewhere.
I also checked "OTN License Agreement for Oracle Solaris", but it looks like Oracle allows for installing "the programs" on up to 3 machines, but I need it on 50.
Thanks for any suggestions or redirections to a proper place where I can get an answer.

When installing Solaris 10 01/06 on a Dell 1850 I receive an error message during the install saying "no disk found". I assume that the drive/controller is not recognized. The Dell 1850 is listed under the HCL for Solaris 10 10/06. I don't believe I can use the Solaris(TM) Device Driver for the LSI MegaRAID Adapter floppy with 1/06. I don�t have any other Solaris boxes up so I can�t build a jump start server. Any suggestions?

Sun Cluster 3.1 64 bit support for Solaris 10

Hi:
I have some questions when migrate SC 3.1 from solaris 9 to solaris 10.
1) Does Clutster 3.1 for solaris 10 support 64 bit?
I have develop own resource type which is compiled with 64 bit mode, while cluster admin program is 32 bit based. E.g. /usr/cluster/bin/scrgadm
Will that cause any problem? For instance: 32 bit lib and 64 bit lib have the same name libscha.so will be loaded by 32 bit scrgadm and 64 bit my own developped resource type program.
2) Can I download a Cluster 3.1 install-pkg for solaris 10, 64 bit supported., which means all admin files like scrgadm are 64 bit based.
Or only ONE Cluster 3.1 version for solaris 10 is deliveried by SUN?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Comments on your 2 questions:
1) Yes. IIRC, SC31 for S10 actually supports ONLY 64 bit. To be clear, this means
Solaris has to be booted in 64 bit mode, but 32 bit applications would run just
fine.
As for your RT being 64 bit, and scrgadm being 32 bit, no problem.
2) See (1). You are good.
Go for it.

Multimedia Offerings for Think Center on Windows 7

I am trying to install Multimedia Offerings for Think Center on my new installation of Windows7 and I'm getting following message:
This program can only be used with recording hardware that is not attached to this computer
Any solution?

mutlitmedia center for think offerings hasn't been updated to work with windows 7 yet. the latest version i could find online is dated 2006 and is only listed as being compatible with 2000 and XP. most of the updated apps won't be available until the october 22nd launch of 7. i don't know if MCTO is covered under the update.
oddly enough, the version of MCTO i have on my thinkstation works fine under server 2008 R2 (aka: windows 7 server). you could try installing it, although without a lightscribe burner this version may not install.

Oracle 9,2.0 32 bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB?

I am sorry to ask rather stupid question.
I joined company which has big SUN Fire running Solaris 9 64bit version.
It has system memory 16GB and 8 CPUs.
I found 8GB memory reported as free. It is production box. It is heavy loaded.
I guess Kernel parameter settings for Oracle set too low.
I reported DBA and asked DBA to improve.
My DBA said Oracle 32 bit version was installed and Oracle 32bit can't access more than 4GB system memory.
Is it true that Oracle 9.2.0 32bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB memory?
32bit CPU and 32bit OS might have problem in access big memory.
But I never heard Oracle 9 running on 64bit Solaris box can not access more than 4GB.
Specially on Sparc 64bit chip and Solaris 9 64bit version.
I searched forums and could not find good answer. I believe it is rather obvious.
Please help me on this. I will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was really surprised by the fact that almighty
ORACLE can not access 4GB memory.
So, it is true that 32bit Oracle is limited by 4GB RAM.Nope. 32bit almighty anything is limited to (max) 2^32 virtual adresses on a vmm system.
Often there is also some split where memory is divided into system and user areas, where user (program) has e.g. 2 or 3GB. All this works regardless of amount of RAM available 0.5 or 512GB.
Perhaps this link provides some useful info/background.

Firefox 3 vs. Minefield 3 for Solaris 10

I installed the Minefield 3 build for Solaris 10 from
http://releases.mozilla.com/sun/firefox-3.0-en-US-solaris-10-fcs-sparc-pkg.bz2
(see http://blogs.sun.com/pengyang/entry/enjoy_firefox_3_0_on)
I seems to work fairly well, but some FX 3 add-ons don't quite work on it (like Colorfultabs). I have Sol 10 11/06 sparc.
Now there is a Firefox 3 build for Solaris 10 on the mozilla ftp site, contributed by
the Sun Administrators division of the Student Systems Administrators program
at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST). (?!? - What the...)
Some questions:
1) Are both packages basically the same, or is Minefield a post-Firefox 3 beta release? Is it based on the beta nightly builds, and thus not fully tested?
2) Is the new Firefox 3 Solaris 10 build the REAL FX 3 release, fully tested and stable?
3) Has anyone compared these two packages with each other on Solaris 10? Any opinions on relative stability/functionality?
Thank you...

Check the web site for Colorfultabs to see if they have an updated version for FF3. If not then there are some web pages that describe how to trick Firefox into running them if you decide to go that route.

URGENT! SEGV-errors when using Oracle C XML Parser for Solaris

I often (not always) got SEGV-error with core dump when I use Oracle Oracle C XML Parser for Solaris. This Error is always got in the call of the the function xmlinit(...) with all params as NULL but the first required for the error code and the second which i assign a macro that evaluates to "US-ASCII". Does anyone knows about this problem?
I am using a very short, wellformed and validated XML document.
I would be very glad for some help about this!
