No printers displayed in evolution on Solaris 10 x86

I hope somebody can help me. I have a great problem with some applications, for example firefox or evolution.
No printers are displayed in evolution or firefox.
following Software are installed:
Solaris SunOS XXXXX 5.10 Generic_120012-14 i86pc i386 i86pc
CSWcups 1.2.7,REV=2007.01.22
evolution. 1.4.6.322
the following links were set:

/usr/sbin/accept /opt/sfw/sbin/accept
lpstat -v shows
device for test: socket://phpb0001:9100
gnome-print-manager displayed the printer.
Why I cant select printers in evolution now?
Pls help me. Its urgent.
Thx for your helps
Marco

Hello folks,
I have found one which could work other possibilities. Does anybody have experience with PAPI over cups? I would like to know who has experience with PAPI about cups and how its configured. One then also should be able to select a printer about evolution.
kind regards and thx for your help.

  • Solaris 10/X86 install appears to have destroyed my display.

    Hello folks -
    I'm new here, I searched and did not find anything that matched so I'm posting. If I'm asking about something previously covered, please be patient, I'll learn.
    I am running an Asus A7N8 Deluxe motherboard with an Athlon 2800+, standard ATA/133 drives and an Nvidia 6800 AGP supplied by PNY. My display is a Viewsonic VA2012wb, which I've since learned is only available at a well-known warehouse membership store.
    I've been using this setup under XP for some months now, and yesterday I decided to try and install Sol10/X86 again now that some new drivers are available that support my onboard LAN. Nothing untoward happened during the install (I'm very familiar with the process on Sparc hardware), and I was asked to reboot so I could start installing CD2.
    Suddenly, no display on boot. Troubleshooting ensued, and I found that I was able to get the monitor to display if I connected the VGA cable instead of the DVI interface I've successfully used all this time.
    Subsequent troubleshooting included:
    1. Changing out the 6800 with a 6200 I had on hand.
    2. Booting to XP to see if the Nvidia Twinview stuff had become confused - The Nvidia software behaved as if there was nothing available on the DVI input, so many menus did not even appear.
    3. Checking with Viewsonic to make sure that I was clear on how the monitor selects inputs. It's largely automatic, but hitting the '2' key on the front panel forces a rescan of the analog and digital inputs.
    4. Substituting another display on this workstation, with all cables unchanged, so I could verify that the DVI output on my video card still worked. Tested fine.
    5. Moving the affected display to another workstation, to see if it was capable of functioning on the DVI input from a different machine. It was not, test failed.
    6. Unplugging everything and letting it sit for over an hour (while I fumed) - test failed.
    7. Returned the affected display to Costco today, for a spanky new one. It worked great on DVI with existing hardware (and under XP) this afternoon, so I decided to re-start my Solaris install.
    Lather, rinse, repeat, or so I was about to find out....
    After I was asked to reboot from CD1, my display died again.
    Just like yesterday, it's currently working fine on the VGA input/dead to the world on DVI, and just like yesterday, everything was fine until the first reboot after the Solaris CD1. I repeated the most pertinent aspects of my prior diagnostic steps, and then I went out to the back porch to curse and throw tools until I felt better.
    I cannot find a hardware reset button for the display, and an old friend of mine reports that he had a similar issue under Solaris 8/X86 in which he ended up blowing up a CRT. The Sol8 installer was overdriving the monitor.
    That said, I don't think that the DVI interface is able to 'overdrive' a monitor, and that confuses me more deeply. I know that if I (re)abuse the return policy of this warehouse store once more tomorrow and get a new display it will fix the problem, but I'm hoping that I can fix this in house!
    I refuse to believe that Solaris is actually frying the DVI input on my display, but I do have clear evidence that it the installer is a destructive force, at least with Nvidia cards and a VA2012wb. I'm seeing some similar threads on the Linux forums, some mentioning the part number of my display in specific, but no clear resolutions yet.
    Any thoughts?
    - Eli

    OK, well... I did a restart, invoking the 'option' command, and the Lion Recovery partition did not show up, so I went ahead and booted back into SL, wherein I was given a 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer' with a choice of ejecting, ignoring, or initializing.  I chose Ignore, and the drive now just shows up in disk utility as 'media' with no opportunity to interact with it.
    I had the presence of mind to make a Lion DVD before I installed, so I booted with that, and it too was unable to interact with the drive.
    Given the degraded state of this drive, I have no reason to suspect that entering target disk mode and mounting to my MBP would bear any fruit... looks like this sucker is beyond hope.  Yay...
    I will not be re-installing Lion until at least .2 comes out at this point.. I can't afford a wasted day like this again.

  • JOptionPane.showMessage doesn't display message & icon in Solaris

    Hi huys,
    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog doesn't display message & icon in Solaris, but display is proper through XWin.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Edited by: Quest_4_Java on Oct 29, 2008 12:15 AM

    There's a program called DockStar that lets you put badges on the dock icon for different folders. It's shareware and available here: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/dockstar/
    I've got a smart mailbox named "Unread messages" that just collects ... all my unread messages (I do a lot of automagic sorting) and then have DockStar show how many messages are in that smart folder.

  • Solaris 10 x86 failed to reboot after initial installation due to display error

    Hi everyone,
    i just finished installing solaris 10 x86 on my computer, and the installation process went smoothly. However, when the system tried to reboot, i got some error related to the display of the monitor, which caused no desktop login can be displayed and no access to the console. I had no way to proceed with the any other operations. The error read as:
    " Out of range<br />
    Hf 30KHz - 70KHz<br />
    Vf 30Hz - 160 Hz<br />
    Current frequency<br />
    Hf 90.3KHz "
    I tried to boot to solaris failsafe mode and run "kdmconfig"
    command to reconfigure video and monitor, but it did not work, since kdmconfig is not supported under that mode.
    Because i have no way to login, the currently available solution seems not working with my situation. Dose anyone have idea or suggestion to figure it out, without reinstalling the OS from the very beginning?
    Very appreciate your time and help.

    Solution found:
    First tried to login using "console login" when solaris booted up, before the desktop login window appeared. Then, run command "kdmconfig", changed the video device to X86 VESA compatible device, which is from the x86 driver and porting kit for solaris, then test/save and exit. After that, reboot the system. Now it is working, not perfect though (due to my old monitor) :)-

  • DNS and Static IP Address Question on Solaris v10 X86

    I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router, and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
    1. I can connect to my router login page using the following URL:
    http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86 at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.
    2. I've purchased a commercially available software package and it requires a static ip address for this Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll stop working by design and require that I reacquire the license file. When connecting through this Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86 server into a specific ip address? (the ip address floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off) presently, and assume the Solaris box will too, usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through 5>
    # ifconfig -a

    pci1148,5021, instance #0 (driver name: skge)
    pci1028,1ed
    pci1022,1100
    The NIC is a SysKonnect 9821 1GB Ethernet card. The drivers in Solaris 10 were apparently very old and didn't install drivers or configure/plumb when I installed Solaris 10, so I downloaded the
    latest drivers (hard to find!), followed the instructions and got the NIC drivers installed and then plumbed.
    My router's ip address appears to be 192.168.1.1 and in one of the articles I've read, there is a recommendation to create a file (touch) within /etc named defaultrouter and enter the router's ip address. I did this, and the file now contains:
    192.168.1.1
    I also read where another file called resolv.conf needed to be pointed to a DNS server, which in this case, according to my Netgear router, and according to ipconfig/all on another WinBox on the same network, also shows the same 192.168.1.1 address for the DNS, so I created that file too (wasn't there) and it contains:
    nameserver 192.168.1.1
    There is a host name file called hostname.skge0 and it contains one line:
    INTHOST
    There is a hosts file, and it contains:
    127.0.0.1 localhost loghost homex86
    192.168.1.3 INTHOST
    There is a netmasks file, and other than the commented out lines, it appears to contain one relevant line:

    Finally, I've also seen some advice using the folling command (and I tried it):
    "route add default 192.168.1.1" as an alternative method of setting up route table
    The only other command I've tried is:
    "ifconfig skge0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up" but I suspect that was redundant as the plumb command I used to get the NIC functioning earlier probably already provided what was needed.
    Finally, on this small network, I ran an ipconfig/all on a Windows based PC, to see what network settings were reported through the wireless connection, and this is an excerpt of that information:

    I�ve recently installed Solaris v10 X86 and have two
    questions. The system is a Dell E521 with 4GB RAM
    and 1GB SysKonnect NIC, and internet is provided via
    a cable modem, that�s plugged into a Netgear router,
    and the Solaris 10 box is plugged into the Netgear
    router via a CAT5 ethernet cable.
    1. I can connect to my router login page using the
    following URL:
    http://192.168.1.1/start.htm and I can also connect
    to various web pages such as yahoo, if I first "ping
    yahoo.com" (on another machine that�s internet
    enabled) and then plug the web site�s ip address into
    the Solaris/Mozilla browser. So it appears that I
    haven�t been successful at pointing the Solaris x86
    at a DNS server to resolve the DNS name.You can either copy nsswitch.dns to nsswitch.conf, or you can modify nsswitch.conf so that 'dns' is used for hostname lookups.
    2. I've purchased a commercially available software
    package and it requires a static ip address for this
    Solaris x86 server. If the ip address changes, it�ll
    stop working by design and require that I reacquire
    the license file. When connecting through this
    Netgear router, how do I lock this Solaris v10 x86
    server into a specific ip address? (the ip address
    floats presently when cycling my PC�s on/off)
    presently, and assume the Solaris box will too,
    usually through an ip range of 192.168.1.<1 through
    5>One method is setting the router so that the server's MAC address is tied to a specific IP.
    Otherwise you can edit /etc/hostname.<interface> and place a static address there, forgoing DHCP services from the router. You may want the address to appear outside the router's DHCP range.

  • Solaris 8 x86: Resource Conflict

    Hello,
    My x86 PC has:
    - Elitegroup K7S5A mainboard
    - AMD Athlon K7 XP 2400+ Socket A thoroughbred CPU
    - AmiBIOS
    - 256 MB SDRAM
    - 2 Hard Disks with 40 GB each
    When I start Solaris 8 installation with the installation CD, the following is displayed in the screen "Bus Enumeration":

    Port: 3F2-3F3, 3F4-3F5; 3F7; IRQ: 6; DMA: 2
    Next screen with "Bus Enumeration" shows:

    The root file system is not mounted and the configuration assistant has exited prematurely. Booting is unlikely to succeed.
    Shortly later boot stops.
    Please, can anybody tell me what the root of the error is? Is there something to be configured in the BIOS?
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Continuing installation of my Solaris 8 x86 after a long break.
    As mentioned above, the installation works now with the patched ata.bef. The installation seems to work o.k. After completion of the installation, I boot to the second hard disk where my Solaris 8 x86 installation is located. Solaris boot manager appears, Solaris boot process begins but shortly after, it stops with the following message:
    error: Configuration error - missing controller?
    The root filesystem is not mounted and the configuration assistant has exited prematurely. Booting is unlikely to succeed. CRL-ALT-DEL may be used to reset the machine.
    Failover to boot interpreter - type ctrl-d to resume boot
    Pressing ctrl-d leads to
    boot: source: open of '/etc/bootrc' failed
    My configuration as mentioned at the beginning of the thread did not change in the meantime. Is there any idea what is wrong?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Retain SAMBA permissions while migrating from linux to solaris 10 x86

    Hello,
    We are migrating a system from Redhat to Solaris 10 x86 and this has brought up a question on how we can restore our SAMBA files and retain our permissions that are associated by the users name rather then their numeric ID(UID/GID). So far my research hasnt produced anything that gives a solid answer to how we do this and is it even possible.
    The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.
    If the data restoration option we choose for the new server is naive and restores only by UID and GID, the permissions in the ACLs will not map to the correct Windows accounts. We either must find a restoration option which restores permissions by name rather than ID or we must create a script which can automate pushing the ACLs into the restored filesystem correctly by name.
    Initially I thought ufsdump could handle this but we are on ext3 filesystem going to vxfs. I have read a little on star but havent heard about it before. Has anyone used star for backup/restore for the purpose of retaining ACL ownership/permissions? It seems like its an old utility, maybe not used much anymore. Does anyone have a utility they have used for this purpose?
    Your help is much appreciated!!

    The problem is that Windows user and group accounts are mapped locally per host by default. That mapping is defined as the accounts are referenced, so unless there is a way to guarantee the order of accounts being referenced, the mappings from Windows SIDs to Unix UIDs will be different between old and new.Is there anyway that you can sanitize and post a small snippet of what's going on with the mapping files? I think I can follow this but I'm a bit confused by the username/UID thing since usually if a username is defined in /etc/passwd than the files will display the username. If a username is not defined in /etc/passwd then the ls command will revert to just showing the numbers which I take it is what you don't want to happen.
    If you could also sanitize and post even one of the acl's that might help clear up that portion of the problem as well.

  • Solaris 10 x86 w/ Matrox G450 dual head and xinerama

    I have solaris 10 x86 with matrox g450 dual head and x.org x-server. The problem is to get xinerama work. When xinerama isn't enabled, two different desktops work well - or, they work, but they are pretty useless because I can't move windows between them. So, I have to enable xinerama, but it seems, that neither JDS/Gnome nor CDE haven't been built including support for xinerama.
    When I enable xinerama, X.org-x-server starts fine and there's dtlogin. When I login and it passes execution to gnome, it fails and x-server restarts. Same with CDE. But if I put 'exec /opt/sfw/bin/xterm to my .dtprofile', it starts ok and I can do some testing..

    The program 'gtk-demo' received an X Window System error.

    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
    that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
    To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line<br />
    option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
    backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    If I start /opt/sfw/bin/fvwm2, it works fine too, so the problem seems to be gtk/glib/gnome and CDE. One odd thing is that, normal CDE-programs, like dtterm, dtcm, dtcalc etc. works fine. But dtwm doesn't work in xinerama mode.
    So, would anyone have any suggestion what could I do? Do I have to recompile my own GNOME, or could Sun do something to the next Solaris 10 update? (As far as I understood, current Solaris 10 release doesn't include zfs yet, so there will be update soon, I think)

    I'm also using a g450.
    Now I'm trying for 5 days to get it work with xinerama under Xorg and/or
    Xsun.
    Can anybody tell me how to get it work ?
    I would like to see a working xorg.conf.
    (I don't know how to configure 2 screens for Xsun. Mybe someone can give my his configuration file(s) ?)
    Thanks to all who will help me !!!

  • Solaris 10 x86 b63 USB keyboard issue

    Hello. I am trying to install Solaris 10 x86 on a Dell Optiplex SX280. The system uses a USB keyboard and mouse. When asked as to the type of installation to perform (1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only), I select 1, then the system start booting and the following messages are displayed:
    Configuring devices.
    Using RPC Bootparams for network configuration information
    ioctl (kbd type): Invalid argument
    and hangs at this point. The keyboard stops responding so that a power cycle is the only option. Obviously the keyboard is recognized for me to select option 1 above but something happens after that. Any ideas? Thanks.

    At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt the BIOS handles the keyboard. This is before the
    Solaris kernel is loaded.
    After the Solaris kernel is booted, either the Solaris PS/2 keyboard driver or the USB keyboard driver has
    to handle the system's keyboard. For your system it's apparently the USB keyboard driver.
    I'm not sure what's wrong with this system. You could try to boot into single user mode with verbose
    kernel messages enabled. At the "1 - Interactive, 2 - JumpStart, 3 - Text Only" prompt, type
      b -vsAre there any (error) messages from Solaris' usb kernel modules? Look for messages from the modules
    "ohci", "uhci" or "ehci". ehci is for USB 2.0, while ohci & uhci are for USB 1.1 devices. I guess your
    USB keyboard is an USB 1.x device, so you need either a working "ohci" or "uhci" driver for the USB
    port where your keyboard is attached.

  • Installing fonts in Solaris 10 x86 10/08

    Hello,
    I request your help in solving an issue which I am facing.
    I installed Solaris 10 x86 version on my PC. Installation went on well.
    I opened a gnome-terminal to enter commands and issued few commands. However, the font did not match my taste. Hence, I downloaded my favourite font (.ttf format) and installed it.
    The installation steps were: Creation of .fonts directory in my $HOME. Copying the font (i.e. the luximr.ttf file) into that directory. Created the fonts.dir file. Issued the command xset fp+ ~/.fonts; and finally xset fp rehash command. Then I issued the command 'xlsfonts' to verify whether the font I installed was really recognised by the system. The output of the xlsfonts command showed the font which I had installed.
    Now, in the gnome-terminal's Edit -> profiles->Default->Edit section, I unselected the "Use system default font" and clicked on the button for selecting the font. But, in the menu of the fonts, I was not able to see the font which I had installed and so I was not able to select it. I tried logging-out and relogging-in, but still did not work. I tried rebooting the machine and then logging in. Even then, the list did not show the font which I had installed.
    How do I get the font to be displayed in the list for font selection? Am I missing any important step?
    Kindly suggest.
    With regards,
    Sreeram

    Hello Lubos Kocman,
    Thanks for your reply. I followed your suggestion and put the .ttf fonts in the /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType directory and rebooted the system.
    [Actually, you had mentioned to put them in /usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/TTF directory. But I did not find the TTF directory. Instead I found TrueType directory and so I felt it appropriate to place them here.]
    But still I am unable to access and choose those fonts from my gnome-terminal's font list. Have I missed something? The same result was obtained when I placed the fonts in the ~/.fonts directory also. Please guide me if I am doing something wrong.
    How do we ensure that the system has recognised the fonts which have been installed newly? Any commands to confirm this? Are there any log files pertaining to fonts, where we can know whether the fonts were recognised by the system, and if not recognised, the reason for the same?
    Also, I would like to paste the contents of /etc/release of my system:
    Solaris 10 10/08 s10x_u6wos_07b X86
    Copyright 2008 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
    Use is subject to license terms.
    Assembled 27 October 2008
    Should I install any patches to this version of Solaris 10 to get the .ttf fonts installed. As mentioned earlier, I am using Java Desktop System, Release 3 desktop.
    Kindly guide me in installing/accessing the .ttf fonts.
    Regards,
    Sreeram

  • Installing Solaris 10 x86 under VMWare

    I got Solaris 10 x86 release 03/05 installed and working under Windows XP VMWare 5.0. I tried to install under Windows XP VMWare 4.5.1, but there was strange behavior: JDS freezes when mouse is clicked on anything on the desktop. Strange thing was that this did not happen until well after the install and using JDS for a few days.
    I think it may have something to do with the X VMWare video driver. By default, it seems to choose VMWare 0405; I changed this to VMWare SGA Virtual Display. Seems okay now (using same virtual machine and install of Solaris).
    Any other notes anyone has to add?
    Thanx,

    I noticed similar issues, but if you have a window open like an xterm, you can Alt-TAB and regain control. I am not sure it is the X server, but would love to know how to troubleshoot it better.
    It seems that if you are clicked in a window, you will be forced to type in that window. But you can open a new X client (like xterm), but you have to Alt-TAB to get to it. Once you cycle through using Alt-TAB, it appears that the mouse control returns.
    I have not been able to consistently reproduce it. I have VMware 4.0 and high resolution display by setting up Xorg.conf.

  • Xmessage on Solaris 10 x86

    Hi,
    I would like to know if there is a tool included in Solaris 10 x86 that replaces the old xmessage tool, which can be found for Solaris 10 sparc, but not for x86 ( I've searched in sunfreeware but could'nt find one ).
    Thanks by advance

    i like "zenity" which is a gnome thing which you can use to display lots of different messages, ask questions and so forth. It comes in handy quite often :-)

  • Xorg lockup on Solaris 10 x86

    As reported on the HCL and a sun blog, Solaris 10 x86 installs on an EPIA ME6000 using Xorg and VESA drivers. But when I switched resolution to something other than 640x480 I get this white screen with some garbage text (it looks like text mode). I get this white screen whenever the display login is invoked, which means everytime I reboot I get this nonfunctional display. CTRL-ALT-Backspace does nothing so I don't think I'm in X.
    Q: Is there a way to cancel/bypass the display login when the OS boots? Maybe I can reconfigure the Xorg video modes this if I can just get some kind of access (console?).
    Q: Anybody know of any good video drivers for VIA/S3G Unichrome IGP?
