Problem with WTK2.5.1 in Solaris 10

Greetings,
I've installed Wireless ToolKit 2.5.1 in Solaris 10 OS and after successful installation when I run the application from path /WTK2.5.1/bin/ktoolbar it gives me error like:
ktoolbar : MMAPI_GM_SOUNDBANK=/WTK2.5.1/lib/soundman.dls is not a valid identifier.
I've checked my audio device and multimedia supports it is working perfectly and I am stuck in between.
I would like to clear that I am not very proficient in Solaris, so please guide me so, that I can successfully run ktoolbar from solaris.
Thank you all

Perhaps you might have a better chance of getting a meaningful response in the New to Solaris forum
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=863
or even the General Solaris 10 Discussion forum
http://forum.java.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=844
If you decide to post there, please provide a reference and link to this post so that you are not accused of cross-posting.
All of this may already be known to you -- providing my analysis in the hope that it may throw some small light on the problem.
MMAPI_GM_SOUNDBANK=/WTK2.5.1/lib/soundman.dlsMMAPI -- MultiMedia API for j2me
GM -- General Midi
SOUNDBANK -- self-explanatory :-)
soundman.dls -- *.dls files are Drum Kits for MIDI audio. They contain audio clips for the various drum sounds implemented through the MIDI interface, in a specified format.
In Windows, if a custom dls file cannot be loaded, the system reverts to the default one provided by M$. Whether any error is notified or not depends on the circumstances.
If Solaris has any similarities on this, you may be able to configure the soundman.dls from whatever is the equivalent of Windows Control Panel.
I know that's not very helpful.
Wish you luck, Darryl

Backup problem with LMS 3.0 on Solaris

Hi All,
I'm encountering problems with LMS 3.0 when I try to do a backup. After you hit OK on the window that says "Do you want to backup now?", an error would pop up saying: "Enter a new directory name or ask the system administrator of the Ciscoworks Common Services server to make the directory accessible to user casuser", thus I cannot proceed with the backup process. When I do backup, my login privilege is admin. Even tried to do backup on the same partition as my CSCOpx directory but to no avail.
Appreciate your help on this guys. Our LMS 3.0 runs on Solaris platform. Thanks in advance.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your prompt response. By the way, what is a casuser? Is he also one of the user that can be found on the Local User Setup on Common Services? The scenario here is that, I am not the one who installed the Ciscoworks LMS 3.0 on the client side, so I am not aware on how they did the installation procedure for the application. I remember assigning casuser password during installation on our other clients that has LMS 3.0.
Will the write access on the backup directory for the casuser be done by the Solaris root administrator?
Thanks for your help.

Problem with application directories on JDS - Solaris 10 11/06 sparc

I am running a fully patched JDS on a Sun Blade with Solaris 10 11/06 sparc.
After installing, removing, and re-installing Sun Download Manager 2.0 (web start version) I am having problems with JDS application menus.
I used File Manager (probably accessed through the This Computer Desktop icon) to move around directories under applications:///. This information is saved in ~/.gnome2/vfolders. Folders available from the Launch menu under Applications were all messed up, but I solved this problem by removing all contents of ~/.gnome2/vfolders and restarting JDS.
Now, when I enter the This Computer icon on the Desktop, and click on the Applications icon in there, there is an extra Applications icon there that is not associated with any application and cannot be removed (when I try and trash it, I get an error saying something about "not on same file system"). Also, when I enter the Internet folder under Applications, there is an extra Internet icon in there that also cannot be removed. These extra folders are not seen when accessing the Applications menu from the Launch menu. How can I clean up these "bad" launchers, or folders, or whatever they are, that appear to exist only under the Applications directory accessible through This Computer (computer:///)?
Thank you...

Maybe the answer is here:
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-0918/6n3aglfdl?l=en&a=view&q=location+of+applications-all-users
To Add a Menu Using Menu Files
To add a menu for all users, perform the following steps:
1. Create a directory entry file for the item that you want to add. Create the directory entry file in the /usr/share/gnome/vfolders directory. For more information about directory entry files, see Directory Entry Files.
2. Locate the vfolder information file for the location where you want to add the menu. For example, to add a menu to the Applications menu, locate the file /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/vfolders/applications-all-users.vfolder-info.
3. In the vfolder information file, add a <Folder> element for the new menu. For more information about vfolder information files, see Vfolders and Menus.
The next time users log in, the menu is in the assigned location.

Problems with hp laserjet 4ml on solaris 7

Hi out there,
I`ve got a problem with a hp laserjet 4 ml on "solaris 7" (AXUS ultrasparc WSU1D/200):
After I had installed the driver with the hp jetadmin-tool, it`s only
possible to print as a root-user, as a normal user nothing happened, the printjob never reached the printer, but with the
lpq-command I can see it in the printqueue. With "solaris 2.6" it worked fine. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Check out the permissions for printer related directories and files.

Problems with accept () system call in Solaris 10

We are doing some prototyping in Solaris 10/Zones using TCP sockets and have encountered the problem the "accept" system call in Solaris 10 always seem to return immediately without waiting for clients to connect to it. The same program works fine under Solaris 9 without any problems.
So in the following call:
ssock = accept( sockfd, (struct sockaddr*)bind_address, &alen );
if( ssock < 0 )
printf( "Accept failed: ...\n" );
the program always prints "accept failed: " continuously. Is this a known issue?

The problem only occurs when we use INADDR_ANY to bind a socket. The program works as expected when we use real as well as virtual IP address configured for an interface on any Solaris Zone. When we use INADDR_ANY, error number is 14 (EFAULT, Bad Address).
Just wondering if we need to make any configuration changes in order to allow INADDR_ANY to work.

Did you use live upgrade or an in-place upgrade? Are there any warnings, errors or cleanup actions in the upgrade logs?
Please note that the documented procedure for an SRSS upgrade with OS upgrade recommends to preserve Sun Ray settings using utpreserve(1M), then install the newer SRSS using the preserved data after the OS upgrade.
One other possible issue: I'm not sure if direct upgrade 4.0 -> 4.2 is supported (skipping 4.1).

Problem with Sessions, Servlets, Netscape and Solaris

We are experiencing a problem that is confounding and frustrating us (I have
          a felling that it is something exremely minor that we are overlooking).
          Here goes:
          Context:
          The problem only occurs when using a netscape browser against weblogic
          4.51running on our Solaris 7 box (Everything works fine through IE, and
          through both browsers against our development machines which are on NT)
          Problem:
          We have a bunch of JSP pages and servlets that are used togehter throughout
          our site. They both manage session information for the user. What is
          happening is that there is no problem maintaining session information among
          all the JSP pages, but when we hit a servlet that we use to stream graphs
          back to the browser, it gets the session but it has no contents all of a
          sudden. What seems to be even more strange is that the session is not
          tagged as new (by checking isNew()), it is just empty of the contents that
          were placed it by the JSP pages. Again, this is only occurring from
          Netscape browsers against our Solaris server.
          If anyone can provide any help it would be greatly appreciated. I can
          provide more details if need be.
          Jeremy


There is a property in the weblogic.properties file that lets you set
          the cookie name. If this isn't set, the port will be appended as part of
          the name. I've had a similar problem switching between http and https
          and losing sessions.

Problem with exporting devices to non-global zone

Hi,
I've problem with exporting devices to my solaris zones (i try do add support to mount /dev/lofi/* in my non-global zone).
A create cfg for my zone.
Here it is:
$ zonecfg -z sapdev info
zonename: sapdev
zonepath: /export/home/zones/sapdev
brand: native
autoboot: true
bootargs:
pool:
limitpriv: default,sys_time

physical: ce0
device
match: /dev/lofi/1
device

device
match: /dev/lofi/2
device
match: /dev/rlofi/2
attr:

value: "This is SAP developement zone"
global# lofiadm
Block Device File
/dev/lofi/1 /root/SAP_DB2_9_LUW.iso
/dev/lofi/2 /usr/tmp/fsfile
I reboot the non-global zone, even reboot global-zone, and after that, in sapdev zone, there is no /dev/*lofi/* files.
What i do wrong? Maybe I reduce my sol 10 u4 sparc instalation too much.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks for help,
Marek

I experienced the same problem on my system Sol 10 08/07.
Normally, when the zone enters the READY state during boot, it's zoneadmd will run devfsadm -z <zone>. In my understanding this is to create the necessary device files in ZONEPATH/dev.
This worked well until recently. Now only the directories are still created.
It seems as if devfsadm -z is broken. Somebody should issue a call to sun.
As a workaround you can easily copy the device files into the zone. It is important not to copy the symbolic link but the target.
# cp /dev/lofi/1 ZONEPATH/dev/lofi
Hope this helps,
Konstantin Gremliza

Is this a problem with awk?

Hi,
I've got a problem with awk.

Despite the error message when the script is run, output is produced
in /tmp for the first 10 rows in ntest.dat:

When I reduce the number of rows in the ntest.dat file to 9 and run:
# awk -f jawk ntest.dat
This runs succesfully, as it does for ntest.dat when there are 10 rows in ntest.dat.
However, when there are 11 rows in ntest.dat the script errors with the error:
awk: too many output files 10
record number 11
I have tried deleting the current 11th row in the file to eliminate the data in the current 11th row, but still get the same error.
I have also tried different combination of rows on to get 11+ rows in the
ntest.dat file; whenever there are more than 10 rows in the ntest.dat file
the awk script errors with same error, despite generating the correct output
for the first 10 rows in ntest.dat.
This implies that the error is not associated with the awk processing, but
that the awk script is reporting an error from the OS. There is ample
space in /tmp (the output files are 77 Kb).
On this server in /usr/include/limits.h the following parameters are defined:
#define CHILD_MAX 25 /* max # of processes per user id */
#define OPEN_MAX 256 /* max # of files a process can have open */
Running ps -efl | grep root | grep -v grep | wc -l before and after running the awk script returns 71.
Does anyone know why awk behaves in this way?
Thanks in anticipation,
J

I have a blotch on my computer screen, about 3 inches by one inch, bottom half of the screen, near the horizontal centre of the screen. looks almost like a leak/water mark for lack of a better description. My machine is about a year old, and I noticed the problem a month or two ago. I've not spilled anything on it, or put anything on the screen that shouldn't have been put on. The blotch is a very faint transparent blue, and I'm not sure if other people have experienced a similar defect?

Installation problems with Solaris 8 on Intel

Howdy,
I am having some problem with my installation of Solaris 8 on Intel. I am installing the system on a P133 (Asus TX97 motherboard). When I first start the installation and perform the system scan I get the following error:
The PnP ISA: IDE Controller programable device was unable to be programmed.
This could be caused by two possible reasons:
- Lack of resouces available
- There is a conflict with the following already-existing device: 8086,7111 - Bus Mastering IDE Controller
When I bring up the View/Edit device settings and I scroll to the IDE controller there is an ! mark beside the PCI IDE controller. The controler is specifying: Bus 0, device: 1, function: 1 port 1F0-1F7, 3F6, 170-177, 376, E000-E00F, 0 IRQ 14, 15
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this conflict? I tried removing the PCI IDE interface and then installing a ISA IDE interfact (for IRQ: 14, IRQ 15 automatically put a PnP IDE controller there). This seemed to resolve the conflict but then I received a: No Bootable devices have been found.
If anyone can help out with how to resolve the conflict, or what the No Bootable Devices have been found error it would be greatly appreciated.
Currently there is a partition set up with NT on it, but I wish to basically get rid of everything on the HD and install Solaris on it. FYI, when I check the HD's in NT it mentions I/0: 1F0-1F7 IRQ 14 and also I/O 170-177 IRQ 15.
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Regards,
S.

When I close down Solais in the CDE I am taken back to the logon screen
and I turn the PC off.Don't do that. If you simply turn off the PC, the OS has no chance to
write back cached / modified disk data back to the HDD - this is also the
reason why solaris has to check the filesystems on the next boot and apparently
has to repair filesystem defects.
What you have to do is shutdown the machine, before you can power it off.
Login as user "root" and use the command
init 5
or
halt
"init 5" will shutdown system services, by executing commands from
/etc/rc0.d/K* with argument "stop". Then it'll sync all modified disk blocks to
the HDD, kills all remaining processes and unmounts all filesystems. In this
state it's safe to power off the machine!
"halt" is a quick-and-dirty shutdown. It does not stop system services (the
/etc/rc0.d/K* commands are not run). But, it syncs all modified disk blocks
to the HDD, kills all processes and unmounts all filesystems. "init 5" is preferred,
especially if you have services like a database server running on the machine,
which needs to be cleanly shutdown. On the other hand, with a default solaris
installation and no extra services, a simple "halt" should be OK.
Btw. if multiple users are logged in on the machine, you should also have a look
at the shutdown(1M) command. "shutdown" sends warnings to the logged in
users that the machine is about to be shut down, ...

Problem with IPSec on solaris 9

Hi all
I'm facing a problem with IPSec on solaris 9 that I didn't have with Solaris 8 (With the Security package installed).
I've an application that creates SA's by using the pf-key interface.
What it does is first doing a GETSPI to a specific SPI and a specific Destination IP Address.
This will create an SA and put it in a LARVAL state. After about a minute my application will do an UPDATE to this SPI and that command should change the state of the SA from LARVAL to MATURE but instead I get an error saying that this SPI & IP address already exist (errno = 17).
Well of course it's already exist that's the all point it should just change the state of an existing SA.
This exact scenarion was is working fine on Solaris 8.
Am I doing somthing wrong (maybe there is a package on the solaris 9 that I need to install ?)
or is this a bug in solaris 9.
If anyone has any idea on how to do that (without using a one step ADD for a new SA) I will be very thankfull.

Sorry for using reply for querying.
I got a problem in creating a Security Association using the PF_KEY Socket (first used SADB_GETSPI and got SPI,with SPI tried to update SADB_UPDATE).
Getting this problem on Sun Solaris 8.
It returns errno 122 . operation not supported.
Here is my mailId [email protected]
I got few more queries regarding PF_KEY socket.
Not much directions are available also for pf_key socket in internet.
Monitor produces the following error.
# ipseckey monitor
"Base message (version 2) type UPDATE, SA type AH.
Error Operation not supported on transport endpoint from PF_KEY.
Message length 16 bytes, seq=4294967294, pid=450."

Thanks in Advance.

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

At some stage there are problems with creation of a new state...
I remember some time ago (Solaris 2.8) there where problems like that with ipfilter, but now ipfilter included in Solaris distribution, hardware tested and so on...
New reincarnation of a problem?
Somebody has similar problems with the software x86 Solaris 10?
Thanks, Roman Gnatenko (rvg at co.ru)

Hi. I've never seen anything like this, and it seems to be something which
the JDBC module is going to be an innocent victim of, rather than a
contributor to... Your best course is to open an official support case.

Video problems with solaris 10

Has any gotten solaris 10 working with an IBM Net Vista workstation? I am having problems with setting it up in desktop mode.

I have had problems with all versions of Solaris on anything but Sun hardware.
I hate MS but they do manage to get their OS to run on almost anything.
Maybe Sun never made it big because they chase away customers with products that don't work.
I would never sell a Sun product to any of my clients.
I only use it in the classroom because I have to.
