  • Japanese fonts for Reader on Sparc Solaris?

    I am looking for Japanese fonts for Reader on Sparc Solaris.
    I understand that Reader 8.1.7 is the latest for Sparc.
    I searched Adobe website but only found font packages for later versions and with x86 shared objects;
    I could not find font pack that is either machine independent or for sparc.
    Any pointer would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Slow nfs read/write from solaris 8 to solaris 10

    there is a bug:4852269 which sums up my problem well.
    I have a solaris 10 sparc with a big nfs shared raid5, and most of the other suns I have run solaris 8. the access time from sol8 to sol10 is awfull.
    Is there some config/patch I can apply to the solaris 10 box?

  • Error in reading core on Solaris 2.8 using pstack command

    We are unable to read core file on Solaris 2.8 using pstack command. We are getting warning that librtld_db failed to initialize; symbols from shared libraries will not be available.
    Man page of pstack says that such error can occur if a core file from one operating system release is examined on a different operating system release.
    But we are trying to read the core on the same machine on which it occurred.
    Does any one know what could be reason and what are the alternative to read core in such situation?

    Dear Gopinath,
    Thanks for the response.
    The problem occurred again.
    In fact now it is repeatable.
    We have not installed any Solaris patches after original OS installation. We have checked the core using pstack immediately after it was dumped.
    We have tried reading it using dbx but it is also giving same error.
    Here is the output of dbx
    dbx: could not initialize rtld_db.so -- verify that corefile was generated on a compatible machine
    Note: We compile our program on Solaris 2.6 as 32 bit and then install it on Solatis 2.8.
    We have tried reading the core using dbx on both Solaris 2.6 as well as Solaris 2.8.
    We know that this must be problem in our program (some memory violation) and has nothing to do with 2.8 or 2.6.
    But inability to analyze core is happering the debugging.
    Thanks

  • Adobe Reader on a Solaris 10 SPARC machine

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me if Adobe's Vulnerability ID: APSB11-03 is applicable to Reader 8.1.7.  That is the version of Reader that is installed be default with the latest version of Solaris 10 for SPARC platforms.
    Thanks.

    Dear zata40,
    No, Adobe Reader 8.1.7 for SPARC solaris is not affected by this security vulnerability, it is applicable to Win and Mac releases only.

  • Socket read write on Solaris 8 too slow.

    Hi
    We have an application which consists of several server instances.
    The front-end is web-based , using JSP/Servlets. We are using Tomcat 4.0.

  • Need latest acrobat reader for solaris 10 sparc version

    i need latest acrobat reader for solaris 10 sparc version
    checked adobe site it is only avilable for linux and not for solaris, very strange

    There's no version of Adobe Reader XI for Solaris.
    The only versions you can download are legacy - see the complete list here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=10&platform=Unix

  • Need Adobe Reader 9.x for Solaris 10 x86

    There used to be a link on your web site for the Solaris 10 x86 download for Adobe Reader 9.x products. Could you please send me an updated link or an alternative method of downloading the Solaris intel version of Adobe Reader? Would prefer the link comes directly from Adobe since verification is needed that it is from a trusted source. Thanks!

    Hi,
    there is no actual release of Acrobat Reader
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/  
    later then Acrobat Reader 4 for Solaris x86
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/unix/4.x/sunx86-ar-405.tar.gz.
    All posts that announce Solaris x86 support for release 8 are untrue.
    The only working extended Pdf-Editor (comparable to Adobe Acrobat XI)
    for Solaris x86 at the moment is PDFStudio Java

  • PDF tab locked in Mozilla- Solaris

    Hello,
    I have an issue with the PDF tabs opened in Mozilla, We use Solaris 10 s10s_u4wos_12b SPARC and Adobe Reader 7 for Solaris.
    When a PDF file is open in Mozilla Firefox, the PDF tab appear to be locked. The PDF file can be seen and scroll up and down but navigation to other tabs is not possible.
    Can somebody help with suggestions and/or possible solutions?

    Hello John,
    Which browser are you using to view PDF files? Also, to investigate the 'degraded graphic icons' issue, could you please share the PDF file you're trying to view (or share the link to the PDF file if it's online somewhere). You can send me an email at gaurav at adobe dot com.
    When your tab is locked, do you have a dialog box opened on that tab? If possible, could you share a screenshot of the problem at the time the tab is locked.
    Thanks,

    Which browser are you using to view PDF files? Also, to investigate the 'degraded graphic icons' issue, could you please share the PDF file you're trying to view (or share the link to the PDF file if it's online somewhere). You can send me an email at gaurav at adobe dot com.
    When your tab is locked, do you have a dialog box opened on that tab? If possible, could you share a screenshot of the problem at the time the tab is locked.
    Thanks,
    Gaurav

  • Solaris 10 - Installing Errors - Dell Dimension 4100

    Hello All,
    I am tring to install Solaris 10 on a Dell Dimension 4100 system. I am getting an error, then the system reboots.
    I am able to boot the Solaris 10 (03/05) DVD, I downloaded.
    I get prompted : "Type of Installation you want to perform"
    No matter which option I chose - I get the same results.
    I get the msg: "Booting Kernel/Unix"
    I then get the msg : "Configuring devices"
    The screen flashing with information, then the computer reboots.
    Computer Specs:
    PIII 866mhz
    256MB RAM
    ATI 32MB Radeon
    40G HD
    DVD Writer
    CD Writer
    3COM NIC
    SB Live
    I checked in the BIOS - nothing about ACPI.
    I am able to install multiple distros of Linux with no issues. I have not try to install any of the BSD's.
    I tried to install Solaris 8, but I was unable. The issue was an open memory slot. I have 1 256mb memory card.
    I was able to install Solaris 9 but I had an issue with a virus on my Windows side. I had to completly format the drive.
    I have read alot aboiut Solaris 10 and wanted to give it try. I have installed via VMware.
    I am tring to install only the Solaris 10 - no other OS will be on the HD.
    Thank you in Advance,
    Harry

    I don't know why Solaris is so good at finding faulty ram. Windows seems to instal but will crash randomly (Nothing unusual there :) so it's hard to say the memory is bad). I don't really use Linux that much so Ive never run it on a machine with faulty ram.
    If we have a machine which is acting up in windows we simply try to boot solaris. If it fails then we change the ram and it usually fixes the problem. It's just our experience.
    I hope that the second sim fixes your problem
    Good Luck

  • Solaris 8 or 9 on Sparc 20

    I have a Sparc 20. I am unable to get to miniroot using either Software 1 or Installation CDs (either Solaris 8 or 9 - isos downloaded and burned a variety of ways using both Nero and CD Creator).
    The machine boots. The alias for the CD drive is correct (I've also tried a different CD drive with same result) but when I issue a boot cdrom -s command the machine begins to load from the CDROM, then after 20 to 30 secs or so, it just stops on the "hourglass". It has loaded some data from CD because the CD light is on for a good while and the "hourglass" does spin for several revolutions before it just stops. Should I be looking at memory? I can L1-A at this point just fine - so machine isn't completly frozen. Help appreciated?
    The machine does boot fine using a Redhat port for SPARC (same type of CDRs - 700min - so that ain't the prob either).
    Furthermore I have a Solaris 9 X86 machine working fine on net. Can I use this as a Install server for a net boot on the SPARC (sounds like no from what I've read). If someone can point me to useful help on this it would be great. I understand that the filesystems on the Sparc CDs can't be read on X86 Solaris.
    Anyway - distinct Newbie on Sun HW... Comming from SGI background. Excuse the old hardware - it's all I've got for the moment.
    Anything will be helpful

    My SS20 was super picky when it came to the speed of the burned media, but only for Solaris for some reason. I burned Aurora 1.0 at 32x and It was good to go, but Solaris 9 cried when I burned it any faster than 4x.
    Have you tried burning it at 4x, or even 1x?
    It also takes what seems like AGES to load up from the Solaris install CDs, and unless your using 10K RPM SCSI with 256+ Mb of RAM, expect it to take 6-12 hours to install the OS from the stock CD-Rom on an SS20.
