Setup and install failure of Staroffice 8 on sparc Solaris 10

Hello,
I downloaded Staroffice 8 for sparc Solaris and I tried to install it using:
#cd /var/tmp/unpack_staroffice
# ./setup
Running installer
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: install
0022
I've seen many threads on this error. I found no solution except to install with pkgadd command.
pkgadd solution works but the default location is /opt. I don't know how to install in another location.
the pkgadd -R root-path don't permit to install where I want:
pkgadd -R /usr/local -d ./ don't work because /usr/local is added at the
default path (/opt, /usr etc..): /usr/local/opt /.., /usr/local/usr.. and son on.
To bypass this I tried to create symbolic link:
ln -s /opt/staroffice8 /usr/local/staroffice8
and install packages at the default place:
pkgadd -d ./
installattion works fine but when I start staroffice8 I obtain error:
# soffice
The application cannot be started.
The component manager is not available
Any help is appreciated.
thanks.

How to setup and install FMS on AWS after purchase?

After cpompleteing the purchace of FMS hosted on AWS I did not recieve any instructionb email on how to setup this application on an existing instance or better yet create a new instance dedicated to the FMS.I got as far as generating the key after purchase , however when I click go to app.... the link simply takes me to the Adobe / Amazon promo page for hosted FMS.
Can anyone help????
Thank You!
A howto would be great!

I just came across your answer to OKB Mr. sabretooth04, or HP expert!!! OKB, necessarily does not mean zero space left on a hard drive. Indeed 99% of times, it means that the software that One is trying to download, is outdated and is not compatible with the system that one is running. Thus the hard drive refuses to download the current software for its running program. And can only be resolved via the software producer. Meaning; one needs to contact the software company to find out if there are any new patches that can accomodate the download to become compatible with the running program.

Upgrading and installing failure

I ordered and paid for an upgrade to LR5 from 3.4. I downloaded version 5 to a new Windows 8 machine. Version 3 is running on an old computer. I wanted to install LR5 on the new machine, and fill in the serial number from version 3 for the upgrade. The download will not install as per the instructions sent by email. When I go to my Accounts and check my orders as instructed, my download is grayed out (not applicable) so I cannot start over. The downloads appear to be duds. If I double click on them, I get an error message saying that it cannot run on my computer. How can I solve this issue and get Lightroom up and running on my new computer?
It's sort of urgent, so help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I tried again 10 minutes later, and Lightroom installed and is operating properly. Perhaps I tried to install before the file had finished downloading.

Firefox PT v3.5.3 upgrade to v5 Windows XP - uninstall failure and install failure

I am using Firefox Portuguese version. I have tried upgrading to version 5. The first step is automatic uninstall of version 3.5. Although the computer restarts v3.5 is not removed. I have tried to uninstal manually, through control panel, but this also does not work Any suggestions?

Hi Rixander,
Thank you for your reply. I do not think I have explained my questions well.
1/ I have run updates every morning. This morning there were 2.
2/ I did not run the update that caused the error "Upgrade to Windows 10 Home Failed Important 8/5/2015".
3/ What system or process caused this this entry?
Until I clearly understand what is going on, I am going to do nothing. Window 8.1 is working well.
Cheers,

I do not know how to install Firefox 4.0; I get as far as Setup and then I am lost.

I have a desktop PC and I've received e-mails about updating to firefox 4.0. I've tried several times and have not been successful. I get as far as SETUP and cannot get to installing the update.

Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

How to change number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure

I deploy a software to client, but the installation is fail, so it will retry. but How to change the number of retries and delay before retrying after software install failure?
I find "Retry Settings" in "Software Distribution Component Properties". But I think it work for Distribution, not the installation. am I right?

First, are you referring to packages or applications because the behavior is different.
Also, why do you want it to retry a failure? It failed for a reason so you need to fix the cause of the failure first. If it failed the first, it will likely fail the next time for the same reason. In general, ConfigMgr will only retry on transient type
errors.

Advice required fo new SSD/HDD setup and OS/App re-install

Hi,
Over the last few weeks my HDD has been failing verification (4 times in the last fortnight ). I have used both Disk Utility and DiskWarrior to repair the drive and each time the outcome has been successful, only to have Verify Disk report errors a few days later.
I therefore decided to get a new drive. I've gone for a Crucial M-4 256GB SSD. However, as I do a lot of database work (MySQL mainly), I don't want to hammer the SSD with lots of writes. So I have also bought a WD 500GB hard disk (5,400rpm) together with a caddy for installing it into the DVD space. The caddy comes with an external enclosure so that i can slot my DVD drive into there instead and continue to use it via USB.
System details: MacBook Pro 6,2 mid-2010, i5 2.53 Ghz, 4GB DDR3, both internal and additional gfx card, matt hi-res screen, OS X 10.6.8, Time Machine on Iomega external firewire drive
In my mind, I will be allocating the following to each drive:
SSD - primary drive:
OS X 10.6.8
All my Apps and Utilities, documents etc
HDD - secondary drive:
MySQL data files
OS X swap file
Windows 7 partition
Questions:
1. Does this sound like a valid setup - ie is it doable?
2. Will the SDD automatically be picked up as the primary drive when OS X boots?
3. How best to install OS X? Should I do a system restore from Time Machine or take this opportunity to reinstall from scratch? Time spent on this is not a major issue as I have a backup latop to work on in the meantime
3. Can I actually install Win7 on a secondary drive with Bootcamp or would it need to be on the primary SSD?
4. If I can install Win7 onto the HDD, will that Win7 partition be bootable from Parallels 7? I've heard some people have difficulty with this using VMWare
5. Is it worth having the swap file on the secondary drive or should I leave it on the SSD?
6. If I upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, will the full disk encryption work with an SSD?
7. I know that I need to go into the DVD app to edit the path to the DVD drive form 'internal' to 'external'. However, does anytone know if games that require the drive to be inserted also work with external drives? Not a big deal if not as I only have 1 of these left.
Any additional advice most welcome
Thank you.

Use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the present boot drive to a blank external drive, you can hold the option key and boot off this drive.
Option key or c key boot off the 10.6 install disk and use Disk Utility to Repair the internal drive, preferablly to Erase with Security Option Zero all Data, this will assist in mapping off bad sectors on the drive likely responsibel for your problems.
Reinstall 10.6 fresh and use the same log in name as before, Software update fully and install programs from original sources and lastly files from the clone.
Your drive should be fine after this, if it's still having problems then it's very likely a mechanical issue and needs to be replaced.
The caddy comes with an external enclosure so that i can slot my DVD drive into there instead and continue to use it via USB.
You can't boot or install OS X/Windows from a external optical drive is what I understand, so you will have to plan around that issue with bootable clones, Winclone etc.
Clones can be booted from and reversed cloned onto new internal drives, in a lot shorter time and safer than TimeMachine restores.
note: intalling a drive in the optical slot is a violation and disqualification of warranty/AppleCare
Time Machine on Iomega external firewire drive
TimeMachineo only restores, it's not a bootable clone drive.
Most commonly used backup methods
In my mind, I will be allocating the following to each drive:
SSD - primary drive:
OS X 10.6.8
All my Apps and Utilities, documents etc
HDD - secondary drive:
MySQL data files
OS X swap file
Windows 7 partition
Questions:
1. Does this sound like a valid setup - ie is it doable?
No, Windows BootCamp will have to go on the same boot drive as OS X.
The swap file of OS X should be on the SSD for speed, yes it will wear it out, but it employs wear leveling and likely by the time the SSD wears out your going to be buying a new machine anyway.
So on the SSD, OS X, Windows, Programs, basic user folders. This way if the hard drive has issues your up on the SSD.
On the hard drive place new folders with data there, like a storage drive.
2. Will the SDD automatically be picked up as the primary drive when OS X boots?
You set either Windows or OS X as the Startup Disk in System Preferences, and it is the only boot drive.
With OS X/Windows which you select which partition to boot from using the option key at boot.
You could also go with virtual machine software if your hardware demands with Windows isn't great or you can do both.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
3. How best to install OS X? Should I do a system restore from Time Machine or take this opportunity to reinstall from scratch? Time spent on this is not a major issue as I have a backup latop to work on in the meantime
Scratch and only return files manually, no restores or migrations. This way your free of corrupted data.
How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
3. Can I actually install Win7 on a secondary drive with Bootcamp or would it need to be on the primary SSD?
SSD primary.
4. If I can install Win7 onto the HDD, will that Win7 partition be bootable from Parallels 7? I've heard some people have difficulty with this using VMWare
VM software of Parrallels and VMFusion can copy the BootCamp Windows and uses it as a file in OS X, which one can save snapshots of that virtual machine file, especially useful for malware and only updating pristine copies of Windows so your not pwned.
5. Is it worth having the swap file on the secondary drive or should I leave it on the SSD?
SSD for speed, it's extra space for memory and the faster it is the better for your computer,
If your in the box, might as well max the RAM, that's even faster.
6. If I upgrade to Lion/Mountain Lion, will the full disk encryption work with an SSD?
Yes, but Filevault has serious drawbacks, first it does slow down your CPU as it has to encrypt and decrypt everything on the fly.
If you have trouble with your machine, you can't easily access the Filevaulted drive to recover files.
If you have some sensitive data, you should be using a Iron Key self encrypting USB or a similar external drive (has it own keypad or key), because johhny law, customs and Apple will need the password to search or fix your machine.
With the sensitive data on a external source, then you can use it with any machine.
If you want to keep your speed up, not have to buy all new versions of software and some third party hardware as there are no drivers, I suggest you stick with 10.6 on that machine, it will be around for quite some time.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
10.8 on new hardware is coming, decide then or when 10.9 rolls out, don't torture yourself with 10.7 on older hardware in my opinion.
does anytone know if games that require the drive to be inserted also work with external drives? Not a big deal if not as I only have 1 of these left.
Most games I know install and have their own copy protection not requiring a disk being inserted as it wears out that way also won't work with machines that don't have optical drives.
However I suspect if it has that sort of content protection that it won't work on external optical drives.
Likely a game that old won't work on 10.7 nor 10.8 anymore anyway, so you will have to give it up.
Be warned that 10.7 can cost you more money in upgraded software, PPC based programs of old will no longer work. Also drivers for older third party hardware, so beware before you upgrade.
CS5 doesn't work too well on 10.7 neither, so you'll have to go to CS6 for instance.

How to install Thunderbird and Lightning Extension to StarOffice 9

I just purchased StarOffice 9, read the entire documentation, including the "Getting Started" PDF file. Looked all over Sun.com and nowhere can I find how to install the Thunderbird and Lightning extensions touted as being available for StarOffice 9. Thanks for any help.
LarryMcJ

Hi Larry,
Thunderbird and the extension Lightning are two independant parts, and with StarOffice 9 deluxe available.
If u have StarOffice 9 u should download -free- the email and calendar client from
the Mozilla Thunderbird page and Mozilla Lightning page
after downloaded Lightning 0.9 !!
open thunderbird -->options --> addons chose the file downloaded, click ok, and install
Now u can manage tasks and so on in your thunderbird, but independant of StarOffice apps !!

Uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps prompting me to download and install. It is a virus according to Google. How do you remove these prompts?

My question says it all. In addition, this started to happen yesterday. Initially all I did is download the file. However, before I installed it, I checked with Google about it. When I discovered the file is a virus or malicious malware. So, I never installed it. I have run PC Tuneup Maestro several times now and fixed issues. However, this prompting from uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe keeps coming up on my computer screen. I do not install it. I want to rid my computer of this prompting from this file. I have Norton 360 Internet Security. I have checked my status with N360 too. I do believe via Internet Options on Internet Explorer 8 that I have cleared my computer cache ( I'm not sure if this is the correct procedure for doing clearing the computer cache?). This is a very annoying problem. I've wasted a lot of time trying to rid my computer of this supposed prompting to download and install this file. Earlier this morning, I tried to call in to N360 support, but the representative did not give me direct answers, wasted much time, and really did not give me a feeling of knowledge of this file or how to remove the prompting to download and install it.

Oh, just one more thing, I have the VLC media player on my computer. I am happy with it. It has also been updated to the most recent version 2.1.1 This is also why I questioned why uplayermediaplayer-setup.exe was even coming up on my computer screen in the first place.

Can i reboot the computer and start again, then carry out a restore from there?
How do i reboot/format the computer so i can start again?
I need to get this sorted ASAP as i have to get this information sent away ASAP.
Cheers

Have you tried booting from the disk that came with your computer? I'd try that first, and see if you can see your OS X partition in Disk Utility and possibly repair it.
Good luck!

Upgrading to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium Install Failure

I am trying to upgrade to CS6 Design and Web Premium from CS4 Design Premium on Win 7 (32bit). I am nistalling from the DVD which was purchased from the Adobe Store. The box says it is for Upgrading from 4 or 3x. I am entering the CS6 serial number and it is able to validate it. When it goes into the Preparing to Install mode the status bar never changes and after what seems like a very long time the Installation failed message is displayed. I ran the Adobe Support advisor and followed the link to the page that tells you how to resolve the issues and chose to go into the registry and look for "In Progess". There was no "In Progress". I have the serial numbers for CS4 and CS6 so they should be valid given that both were purchased through the Adobe Store. I am very frustrated!!!!!!!!!
Installation Status:
Installation failed:
Adobe Advisor Results:
Regestry:

I downloaded and installed the Application manager and re-started the installation. This time it got to installiing the applications and after 3 hours it was only 55% completed and showing that it was installing Acrobat and had 2 hours to go. It seemed to be stuck so I cancelled the install.
