Problem with very new install.

I have a clean HD and want to put Solaris 10 on it. I downloaded and burned the install onto 5 CD-r. When I boot the system, it doesn't boot to the CD rom. I have changed the boot sequence in the bios. What else do I need to do to start the install?

You have to have a boot-able cd. The boot file is loaded onto a specific area of any disk. The system you're booting knows where that file should be (at the boot-block) and will load the boot file from that location. After it boots it then know how to run the devices and how to read the rest of the disk. When booting from the CD the SUNWeb install program should run by default.
Some cd/dvd writing software will allow you to make a boot-able cd, but not all. Verify that your cd burning software has the option of making a boot-able cd and follow it's particular directions to create a boot-able disk. If it doesn't have that option, all I can suggest is to find software that will do it or get a boot-able copy from Sun.

Problem with a new install: X, Radeon 4650, and xf86-video-ati

Hi guys,
I am trying to setup a new install here but am getting stuck at X (I have been following the beginners guide).
Everything is stock (kernel, not [testing], etc.).
I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650 and am using the xf86-video-ati driver. I want to use dual monitors with this card (one 1920x1080 and another 1680x1050), but as far as I can tell, this is not the root of the problem. KMS is enabled by default and works well (with the exception of some slight artifacts on the 1080p monitor). I have tried to disable KMS but to no avail. But here is the essence of my situtaion:
Note: Yes, hal & dbus are both running.
Running X as root without Xorg.conf: Mirrored at 1680x1050
Running X as root with Xorg.conf: Black screens
Running X as normal without Xorg.conf: Mirrored at 1680x1050
Running X as normal with Xorg.conf: Black screens
Note: The Xorg.conf is being taken from X -configure as well as taken from Xorg.0.log
My /var/log/Xorg.0.log can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/1877044 (after attempting to run X as a normal user without Xorg.conf)
Why can't I use a xorg.conf? How can I setup dual displays at their native resolutions?
Thanks, any help is greatly appreciated!

oh boy ...been in your exact situation before. I have a radeon 4890 HD. Very easy to get running the way you want it, once you know the steps to take of course.
btw, I've ALWAYS found it easier to run X with an xorg.conf file.
The way you go about setting up a dual head radeon card is actually very simple.
First, delete your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file if you have one.
Second, run "sudo aticonfig --initial=dual-head"
Third, make sure the fglrx module is mentioned in your rc.conf file under modules.
aticonfig will then create a new xorg.conf file for you that will work with your dual head.
A few tweaks to the xorg.conf file before you start x:
Decide whether you would like to run Xinerama or not. Xinerama may or may not have any benefits, but I've had much more success by keeping it off.
You do that by:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "Xinerama" "off"
EndSection
Make sure 'Load "dri2"' and 'Load "dri"' are commented out under section 'module'
Lastly, specify your display size under Section "Screen" (you should have two screen sections)
Do this by adding Modes "1920x1080" under each SubSection "Display" .... or just take a shortcut and put it under the last subsection like I did.
Do it again for the your other screen section.
You are going to make a "virtual" screen, which would exist if your two physical screens were joined into one big one.
So put under your second "screen" section, Virtual 3360 3360 (I have two 1680x1050 monitors)
attatched is my xorg.conf for clarification:

Could you please someone help me with this?
Thanks

Sorry to bump this, but I'm having the exact same error tonight on my HTPC, any chance you found out what the problem was ?
To make matters worse, it's not happening every single time, but maybe every 4 out of 5 boots (same kernel, no changes in between.)
I thought this was a kernel issue related to this:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/10/359
I've tried adding atkbd and psmouse to my mkinitcpio.conf MODULES section and rebuilt, but no change.
I changed the NVidia driver from nvidia-304xx to nvidia-full-beta-all ( 334.21 ) from AUR but it had the same error at the same place.
Here's the part from `dmesg` where it borks:

Problems with brand new install.. Device ID:5081h ???

Putting together a new system.
K8N Neo2 Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor
CMX512-3200LLPRO x2 Corsair Ram Sticks (Known good from another system)
ASUS ATI 9600 AGP video Card (Know good from another system)
WD 360 Raptor SATA HD X2 (Connected to onboard SATA)
Getting an odd message durring boot...
Warning:Have Option ROM can not be invoke (vendor ID:10DEh, Device ID:00DFh)
Trying to figure out what the device is, I belive the vendor is NVDIA... but no luck finding device.
Above and beyond this, i'm trying to install this
HighPoint RocketRAID 1820A 64-bit, 66/100/133MHz PCI-X SATA Controller Card RAID 0/1/5/10 JBOD
WD3000 Caviar SE SATA HD x5
When I have it installed, I get this in adition
Warning:Have Option ROM can not be invoke (vendor ID:10DEh, Device ID:5081h)
And no Bios shows up for the raid card.
Any help would be appreciated... If I go through and disable almost everything on the motherboard, the bios from the RocketRAID comes up.. I keep trying to isolate it to a singe device on the MB, but haven't had any luck.
MagnAxiom
P.S.
I've been to the MSI website.. newest bios I could find was 7025v19 I've since upgraded the bios on the MB.. no good.. same issues...
Tried updateing the RocketRAID as well, no good..

I'm suffering from the same problem .
I have an addin pci sata SIL 3112 card with two sata disks connected to it .
Disk 1 has WinXp64bits .
With two sata drives connected to sata 3/4 set in non raid mode i can see the SIL disks in the HD boot order .
But if I enable the Nvidia raid which host my xp32bits OS the disks from the SIL card disappears .
First i thought this was only with the 1.9x -> 1.a3 bioses but infact it like this all the way don to atleast 1.36 .
So if a want to boot my WinXp64 i have to disable the raid in bios , else this has 1'st priority and will always be the bootable MBR
even if the SIL card is visable in boot order on top or non visable at all.
Funky motherboard , and funky bioses .
But live and learn as they say .
Atleast i can have four sata disks and overclock past 230HTT clock reference which is something .
edit:
I just wonder if this "cannot invoke error string" message has been supressed from being displayed in earlier bioses
and infact doesn't change anything at all from pre 1.9x to 1.9 versions .

[SOLVED][GRUB]Install problem with the new method

Hi,
it is not my first install of Arch Linux but I have a problem with this new kind of installation method, especially with GRUB.
Here is my hard drives configuration :
/dev/sda1 -> SSD 120 GB ntfs (windows)
/dev/sdb1 -> HD 1 TB ext4 (data)
/dev/sdc :
/dev/sdc1 -> ext2 /boot
/dev/sdc2 -> swap
/dev/sdc3 -> ext4 /
/dev/sdc5 -> ext4 /home
During the installation, I installed grub (with grub-install) in /dev/sdc. I assumed it was the correct drive to install it but apparently not, Windows starts automatically and I don't have the grub menu.
Should I install my system again or is there a way to boot on the livecd and install it ?
Should I :
1) mount /dev/sdc3 in /mnt then /dev/sdc1 in /mnt/boot and finally /dev/sdc5 in /mnt/home
2) pacstrap /mnt grub-bios
3) arch-chroot
4) grub-install
Thank you.

If you set whatever drive "/dev/sdc" is (brand and model) to boot first in the BIOS, all you need to do is install a bootloader on Arch. You don't even need a separate boot partition. It will use the /boot folder on root partition. Then install os-prober (if you don't already have this installed) and re-generate the .cfg.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … bootloader
The problem is that I cannot select another hard drive. The only one available for the boot order is the Samsung 830 series (/dev/sda with Windows).
The other options are the CD drive and removable disk.
I checked that this morning, maybe I was too tired. I will check again this evening.
But if I am right and I cannot select my intel SSD (containing my arch setup) for the boot order, would the solution I described work ? I don't see why not but my knowledge are basic in Linux.
Thank you again for your help.

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regards

You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10. When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

I am having trouble with my bluetooth skipping while its playing music from my Itunes music...I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology?

I am having trouble with the music from my bluetooth "skipping" on my IPhone 5. I thought that this was an antiquated problem with the new technology. It's very frustrating to purchase all of this music and expect great sound and playability and get "skipping". Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

Does the issue occur when listening to the media using the speaker or wired headphones? If it does, the issue is with the media itself.
If it does not, it's likely a bad connection or interference.

I need anti virus, Virus has attached the phone.
Urgent attention is needed.

Notice the "up to"....you can get 8 hours if the laptop is asleep and you don't use it but if you actually use it and espescially if you use wireless and have the screen on full bright, 3 hours is very good for a full-sized powerful laptop. Run it down to 20% and recharge it a few times to let Windows calibrate the battery and the run time will stretch a bit, but 5 hours is a home run and 3.5 hours is acceptable on that class of laptop. Here are a few tricks you can use to stretch the battery as far as possible:

Sound Problems With Brand New 24" iMac!

1) My new iMac has suddenly stopped making alert sounds, such as for incoming Mail, no Mail etc.
2) I cannot listen to any radio stations on iTunes any more - dead!
Is there a problem with the new iMacs and sound?

All of my other sounds (startup, iTunes purchased music etc.) worked fine. All of my preferences are set OK.
Here's the odd thing: All of a sudden my alert sounds have come back and I can play SOME radio stations through iTunes, but not all.
This is very strange!
