No cursor in Solaris 10

When I boot into Solaris 10 the screen doesn't display a mouse cursor.

What kind of mouse do you have?
Maybe should you to configure your mouse with xorgconfig.

Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
Timing does seem to be an issue.
There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
a work-around.
I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
I have not tested on Windows yet.
When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
to each other's buttons.
The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
default cursor. These work fine.
The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
and sets it back. This does not work.
The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
cursor back. This also does not work.
The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
button. This works.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

MS Access, ODBC and SPs returning ref cursor

I have some functions and procedures in a package returning ref cursors that work fine in my C++ batch applications. I would like for the GUI to be able to call these as well.
Unfortunately, we are using Access as the front end (for now), and we have not been able to get the ref cursors to work. Is this supported? We are using Oracle 8.0.5 on Solaris, and our clients is Access 97 on NT using Intersolv's ODBC driver.
My procedure looks something like:
package jec is
procedure open_sale_cur(
p_client_id number,
sale_curvar out sale_curtype)
is begin
open sale_curtype for select ... ;
end;
end;
And the Access code looks like this:
strSql = "begin jec.open_sale_cur(27, ?); end;"
qdfTemp = conMain.CreateQueryDef("", strSql)
qdfTemp.Parameters(0).Direction = dbParamOutput
qdfTemp.Execute()
This is the error when Execute() is called:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'OPEN_SALE_CUR'
I am not an Access programmer; I am simply passing along this information. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

We tried the {call...} syntax originally, but when we use it, we get an Oracle syntax error for the statement
SELECT * FROM {call ...}
Apparently Access prepends "SELECT..." before passing the SQL text to Oracle.
This is also the case for procedures with normal scalars, such as numbers, returned as OUT values. When we use anon PL/SQL syntax and "?" placeholders with such procedures, they work. When we use {call ...} syntax or omit OUT placeholders, they do not.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Justin Cave ([email protected]):
I suspect that you want to simply execute the statement
strSql = {call open_sale_cur( 27 )}
The ODBC driver will automatically figure out that there's an output parameter which is a ref cursor and return that as the result set. Note that you may want to download the latest 8.0.5 ODBC driver (8.0.5.10 I believe) if there are any problems.

Solaris 8 on Ultra 2 Enterprise installation problem...

I've a Sun Ultra 2 Enterprise with dual 200 Mhz UltraSPARC I and I tried to install Solaris 8, I download the binaries from Sun site and I burnt the CDs. Insert them in the CDROM drive, I type "boot cdrom", the installation started and it started also the grafical interface, the mouse doesn't work (the cursor still in the center of the screen) and appear a Console windows that asks if Solaris should use the slice c0t0d0s1 for swap, but the keybord (I use a type 5C keyboard and mouse) don't write, so I can't type "yes", but STOP+A works and on OPB I can write.
In the end, on the grafical interface of installation mouse doesn't work and I can't write (works only STOP, arrows, ecc...)
Thanks, Paolo.

Well, to install the box you could type
boot cdrom - install w
that will give you the textbased install GUI if you are booting from Solaris CD 1/2 . You might have to get a working mouse later, but this will at least install the OS for you.

Problem on installation Solaris 10 on virtualbox 3.0.8

I want to install solaris 10 as a guest system on virtualbox in Windows XP sp3.
I downloaded the solaris.10.for.x86.dvd disc already.
The installing progress hold on "Skipped interface e1000go" for a long time.
After that, it went into the step of "Select a Language"...
But either the keyboard or mouse does work at all.
The installation dead on showing "Please ....... help: _"
The cursor stopped flicking, showing on the screen all the time.
No matter which key I hitted, there isn't any response at all...
I waited it for more than 8 hours, nothing happened...
Who could tell me why? Thanks for all...
Host system: WinXP SP3
Guest system: Solaris 10
Virtualbox: ver 3.0.8
The guest system used the default configurations.

You can try the newly released Solaris 10 10/09 VDI image from:
https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_SMI-Site/en_US/-/USD/ViewProductDetail-Start?ProductRef=virtualbox-s10U8-x86-G-F@CDS-CDS_SMI
This is a complete ready-to-run image that won't require installing. It might help debug issues such as keyboard and mouse, separating it from install issues.

Xorg-server 1.6 - black screen with mouse cursor

Hi
First of all: I'm really new to Arch, so maybe there is a real easy fix for this problem
Since upgrading to xorg-server 1.6 (and today to 1.6.1) I'm not able to get a running Desktop Environment.
Usually I am using gnome with compiz-fusion on my Geforce 4 (nvidia-96xx 96.43.11-4 driver).
When I boot my machine i see gdm and I am able to login. I can hear my login sound but I only get a black screen with a mouse cursor.
I added a new test user to my system without compiz and get the same.
I tried my old xorg.conf from 1.5, generated a new one with X -configure and tried without xorg.conf but everytime the same
Actually I'm not sure if the xorg update is responsible for this, because i did not watch the upgrade-process....
I googled this problem and was searching similar things in this froum, but I wasn't able to find something
Here are some files

I'm having a very similar issue. Sometimes, when I boot and type in startx (I'm not even a GNOME user--I use dwm and no graphical login manager), I just get a black screen. No mouse cursor, so I think X doesn't even load. It only started with the xserver 1.6 update and the update to that hasn't changed anything. What I've been doing is just rebooting until it loads normally (takes one to three times). Is anyone else having this problem?

PL/SQL leaves cursors open?

I have been researching into what might look like a resource drain in an Oracle 7.3.4 database we have on a SCO OpenServevr 5.0.5 server.
There are a couple of applications written in PRO*C (compiled on Solaris with Oracle 8.1.5) always running that keep connections open to the DB. All exchange of data between the apps and the db happens via calls to stored procedures.
Examining the state of the connections, I noticed that the number of open cursors and UGA/PGA memory used seems to increase over time, and never stabilizes.
I experimented a bit and noticed that even if I open a session via SQL/PLUS and call an extermely simple procedure that opens a cursors, fetches it, closes it and then commits, the cursor remains open until the session is closed (I examined the session with Toad and Enterprise manager - and cursor cache count is set to 0). Is the open cursor consuming resources (e.g. using precious ram of the SGA) even after the procedure is ended? And if so, how can I release a maximum of resources when my applications are idle, without having to close and reopen the session?
Thanks, Gaetano Giunta

If the open cursors are too many then
ALTER SYSTEM SET CURSOR_SHARING = FORCE;
Works only with oracle9i
uv to set ur initparam CURSOR_SHARING=FORCE.
Which will try using bind variables only.
Check docs on cursor_sharing may be u may get fair idea on bringing down cursor openings....

More on "maximum open cursors exceeded"

It seems a lot of people have been seeing this error message, but reading through the posts on the topic hasn't given me any new insight on the problem. Here's an account of my particular situation:
I am using the XSQL servlet, v.1.0.0.0 with the thin jdbc driver v.1.x. The servlet is running within an Apache server (1.3.12) on a Linux box, and the Oracle database (8.1.5) is located on a Solaris 2.6 machine.
The servlet accepts HTTP connections, performs the corresponding SQL queries and returns the output from the database to the HTTP client. Here's a simple example:
(Sorry about potential bad line breaks.)
client request:
% telnet xsql-host.some.domain 80
Trying xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Connected to xsql-host.some.domain.
GET /xsql/test/listall.xsql
<server response here>
listall.xsql:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page connection="boss" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
<accounts>
<xsql:query tag-case="lower" rowset-element="" row-element="accountinfo">
select * from test
</xsql:query>
</accounts>
</page>
Very simple stuff indeed. Now, this has worked perfectly for 3 weeks or so. During this period, the xsql servlet has been stopped and restarted numerous times and the machine hosting the database has been rebooted at least three times. Then, for no apparent reason (as nothing had changed in the setup described above), I started getting "maximum open cursors exceeded" on every request. Since then, I have been unable to get the system working as it had up until now. I haven't restarted the database and I would like to avoid doing so, because that would not be a valid solution for us if the problem reappeared in production. The maximum open cursors setting in Oracle should be correct, since things were running smoothly before.
From what I can see, the problem could be with the servlet not closing its cursors. One post mentioned that it did, but I would appreciate it if this could be double-checked. Considering the database is the only portion of the system which has been kept running for extended periods of time, it seems to me that this might indeed be the problem.
Confirmation, workarounds, suggestions, patches, or a consolation box of chocolates would all be appreciated.
Thanks,

Check which process is making all the cursors on which database. If it is your procedure, try explicitly closing the cursors. I think the cursors are only implicitely closed after the transaction is ended. If you loop and open a cursor within the loop, that might be the problem.
I also had this problem with Java working over a JDBC connection some time ago on a 815 database. If I recall correctly, that was caused by the JDBC driver and fixed by replacing it with a JDBC driver of 9i.
The following script is what I used previously in a program that can draw a graph from the results. It is ugly, but does the job.
Hope this helps,

Setting Cursor - For a window and application wide

Hi,
Can somebody please help with a cursor problem ? I am not able to set the busy cursor for a frame when the application is doing some work. I have tried many methods of doing this (some of them from these forums...) but still I am not able to make this work.
1) setting the cursor before doing the work and resetting after the
work doesnt work.
2) setting the cursor for the window by calling
Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(getRootPane().getGlassPane());
window.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
This works but the events are not blocked by the frame i.e if i
click on any part of the window like a button or something, that
event is fired after the work is done. So this is not good.
3) created a glass pane for the window and blocked all the events. Then
set the cursor for the the glass pane. This does not work either
since the event thread is doing the work. So had to create another
thread to do the work. This works but when the cursor is reset back,
it doesnt reset. I have to move the mouse a bit to reset it. So this
is not good either.
4) created a work around for the cursor by creating a modal dialog box
saying "Processing..." in the event thread and doing the work in the
worker thread. The worker thread posts an event to dispose the
dialog box after the work is done. This works perfectly though it is
still not good because the cursor is not showing busy. Because of
the modal dialog box, the user cant do anything in the application
which is exactly what i want. Is this ok ? Can somebody provide any
other work around for this ?
5) Also I have another question for you guys. In the worker thread if i
do something like updating the gui etc., it takes a lot of time
almost 10 times more than when the work is done in a single threaded
environment. Is this because of the communication between the worker
thread and the event thread ? If I do only data related work not gui
work in the worker thread, this is fine.
I am new to Swing, so somebody please explain to me if they can.
My environment is JDK 1.1.7, Swing 1.1 on Sun Solaris 2.5.1. Is this because I am using old versions. Is this resolved in the newer versions like 1.3 etc ?

That is all true. The problem is the need to give a user the ability to run a program that has secrets that should only be visible by root. If you give the user ownership, they cab see the keys to the kingdom.
For example, you may want to allow a user to connect to an arbitrary wireless access point. Generally, this is a privileged operation -- you want to give them permission to do it, but don't want to give them ownership. You may also not want them to be able to see or modify the pass phrases.

Server Crashes when using Cursor Vars in Stored Procedure

Can anyone make a suggestion
We are experiencing a problem that causes our Weblogic Server to crash
when a JDBC call is made to our Oracle database.

The jdbc command that causes the problem is similar the spcursor
example code file:
// Here we prepare a CallableStatement using a WebLogic extension

Thanks Mitesh for your response.
We have followed your advice on using the 901 driver and updating the
config.xml file. Alas it has not stopped the Solaris WLS from
crashing.Actually, Mitesh sugested you replacing weblogic driver
with oracle one. As it follows from the stacktrace, it has
not been done.
I'd also recommend moving to oracle thin driver as it
doesn't have native code thus is more stable.

Slava Imeshev
In addition to this we tried using WLS 6.1 SP2 on a Win2000 box
(connecting to same database). We managed to crash this instance as
well. The core dump is as follows:

So now we have a situation where - we can crash either server with a
call to a function. We can now run the spcursors.java example without
problem. The procedure that does crash the WLS can be run successfully
from within sqlplus (it involves multiple subqueries and outer joins).
FYI - the cursors we are returning in the function are weak cursor
types (TYPE ref_cursor IS REF CURSOR)
Any other suggestions greatly welcomed.

Please do the following:
Make sure you have login delay sec=1 for connection pool in config.xml
Should have TestConnOnReserve=true
and use 901 driver instead of 817 driver. Using suggested driver, stillyou can connect to
your original database.
Thanks,

Maximum open cursors in SQLJ, ORA-01000

Hello,
Can someone please help me with the following: I have a java application that does 7000 insert statements, but I get ORA-01000 after only 200-300 inserts. The error message is:
Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
A simplified version of my insert in sqlj:
try {
     #sql [_ctx] {
          insert into TABLE_X
          ( name, addr ) values
          (:m_name,m_addr)
} catch(SQLException e){
          m_mgr.GetErrorLog().logError("Critical",
     "Failed to insert user into TABLE_X","","Program aborting","?",e );
          m_mgr.SystemErrorExit();
1. The only answers I can find in the forums is either to increase max open cursors in inti.ora, or to close your statements correctly. I'v tried increasing max open cursors but this does not help..(its not a very god approach anyway), and I can't see why I should close my statements from SQLJ: This error did not occur in the same application on a different platform 10 months ago.
2. Could it have something to do with the thin driver version I'm using. Either in JDev or in the database. I use JDev 903 (on win 2000) and a 8.1.7.4 database (on solaris).
3. I tried using oci8 connectoin, but could not get it working. Using oci8 i got the error
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no ocijdbc9 in java.library.path
Feedback appreciated.
/Anders

For oci to work you should have Oracle or SQL client installed on your machine.
You should also have ORACLE_HOME\bin in you path.
ocijdbc9.dll is available in the above directory.

Dual OS system booting issue - Solaris with Windows XP Pro

Hi,
I have installed Windows XP Professional with SP2 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 6400 (Intel Core 2 Duo). I created partition as below,
C: 25GB (Primary : Active) Installed XP
D: 15GB (Primary) - Tried to install Solaris here
F: 10GB (Primary)
G: 20 GB (Logical)
H: 20 GB (Logical)
1. I tried to install Solaris 10, booted up system from DVD and selected Solaris. I got a message related to "License..." and it stopped right there, nothing showed up on screen after the message. I forced it to shutdown.
2. Next, I tried with Solaris Express Developer edition DVD. I was able to proceed until "Install" option. After clicking "Install" button, it reported some account name(no account name found) setting problem and quitted from installation. It asked to remove the DVD manually. But I was not able to eject it, got stuck. I switched off it and removed DVD.
When I bootup the system next time from HDD or CD or USB bootable backup, it showed blank screen and blinking cursor. I am not able to boot system with Win XP or USB Win Xp bootable. I am able to enter BIOS setup.
Please let me know how to boot up Win Xp and install Solaris with it.

with my little experience i find solaris 10 isn't able to install on sata hdd but with solaris express edition 5.11 i was able to install it on my lap top toshiba tecra and now i can boot with xp sp2 and solaris i hope this answer your question .

Black Screen with cursor. Java Desktop System.

Hello everyone.
I've installed Solaris 10 05/08 x86 32bit in VMWare Workstation 6.5.
After I logged in in the system (Java Desktop System, Release 3), I've got only a black screen with cursor, nothing more.
X server: Xsun server configuration:
Video Device: VMWare Inc vmware0405
Video Driver: XF86 VMWARE
Resolution/Colors: 800x600 65536 colors @75Hz
Screen size: 17 inch
Monitor type: MultiFrequency 56Hz (up to 1280x1024 interlaced)
But the CDE starts normally.
What's the problem?
Help, please.

Several mysterious problems with Solaris 11 x86 install

Hi folks,
I've recently installed Solaris 11 x86 as a replacement for Solaris 9 SPARC on an Ultra 2 machine. I like the operating system, but I've promptly acquired some mysterious problems. The computer is a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo E2500 with a Pentium 4 HT 3.06 GHz processor, 2 GB RAM, an 80 GB SATA disk and a 147 GB SCSI disk.
I have had a few occasions on which the screen goes totally blank, the monitor claims that there is no signal, and I have to restart the machine. However, with the blank screen, the hard drive activity light is sometimes still flashing. This happens predictably when I try to log off (as opposed to shutting down) and when I use Totem media player and click on anything inside the Totem window. The motherboard has built-in graphics and brief specifications can be found here:
http://uk.ts.fujitsu.com/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/professionalpc/ESPRIMO/Datasheets/ds_esprimo_edition_e2500.pdf
Yesterday my PS/2 keyboard started causing the motherboard to beep crazily when I use it. It beeps rapidly 4 times, then prints the expected character. However, the problem doesn't occur at the initial log in screen. The mouse cursor has also gone beserk on one occasion, flying all over the screen (I had this problem with a previous PC, but a different OS, and thought it was a hardware fault, which I why I got this new computer). With the keyboard problem, the machine is basically unusable. However, it is configured as a dual boot machine, and the keyboard problem isn't present with Windows XP.
There are also a few smaller, odd problems. Occasionally all the icons vanish from my Gnome desktop. The command prompt also mysteriously changed from $chris@pluto to $bash-4.1 just before the keyboard problem appeared, although that might have had something to do with me copying my home directory to a different disk and editing the /etc/auto_home file (moving the home directory worked fine). Also, unlike with Solaris 9 SPARC, I find that I have to have external SCSI devices switched on at boot time, should I want to use them later. That's a pain. With Solaris 9, I could run "boot -r" when I first attached the device, then switch on the SCSI devices and mount them whenever I wanted.
After the useful advice I received here about "more" and "less", I thought I'd post these problems and see if anyone can help. I'd really appreciate some advice. Can anyone identify likely causes for these problems? Which problems can I expect to solve and which do I have to live with?
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

There are also a few smaller, odd problems. Occasionally all the icons vanish from my Gnome desktop. The command prompt also mysteriously changed from $chris@pluto to $bash-4.1 just before the keyboard problem appeared, although that might have had something to do with me copying my home directory to a different disk and editing the /etc/auto_home file (moving the home directory worked fine). Also, unlike with Solaris 9 SPARC, I find that I have to have external SCSI devices switched on at boot time, should I want to use them later. That's a pain. With Solaris 9, I could run "boot -r" when I first attached the device, then switch on the SCSI devices and mount them whenever I wanted.
After the useful advice I received here about "more" and "less", I thought I'd post these problems and see if anyone can help. I'd really appreciate some advice. Can anyone identify likely causes for these problems? Which problems can I expect to solve and which do I have to live with?
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy
