SMC and J2SE 1.5

I'm running Solaris 9 x86 09/04. The only patch I've applied is:
112786-32 X11 6.6.1_x86: Xsun patch
as recommended by the J2SE 1.5 release notes. After installing J2SE 1.5, the Solaris Management Console is broken. If I try to start it from the command line, it bombs with:
com.sun.management.viper.CriticalStopException: javax/help/JHelp
at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.gui.SMCConsole.start(SM CConsole.java:276)
at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManag er.openConsole(BaseConsoleOptionsManager.java:752)
at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManag er.redirectToConsole(BaseConsoleOptionsManager.java:621)
at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManag er.launchConsole(BaseConsoleOptionsManager.java:167)
at com.sun.management.viperimpl.console.BaseConsoleOptionsManag er.main(BaseConsoleOptionsManager.java:834)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris Radlinski

I've resolved this issue. On Solaris 9 x86, the default Java installation resides in /usr/j2se. The JavaHelp packages required by SMC install their files to this directory. The Java 5.0 SE installation instructions advise you to redirect the /usr/j2se link to /usr/jdk/jdk1.5.0 if you want Java 5.0 to be your default Java installation. If you do this, you will lose the JavaHelp files and SMC will break.
I resolved this issue by:
1) removing the JavaHelp packages (SUNWjhdem, SUNWjhdev, SUNWjhdoc, SUNWjhrt)
2) deleting the /usr/j2se directory
3) linking /usr/j2se to /usr/jdk/jdk1.50
4) reinstalling the JavaHelp packages (available on disc 2 of the installation set)
SMC now starts and runs normally. It uses the new Ocean laf which I think is much more attractive than Metal. Good work, Sun!

  • How can I re-run the SMC and EFI driver updaters ?

    When I bought my iMac Intel 20" in mid-2006, I immediately had a problem with the video driver when the computer woke up from sleep : the screen was badly flickering.
    After lengthy talks with Apple, I was sent two updaters (one for the SMC and one for EFI) which solved the problem. Just to make sure, I deactivated completely the energy saver.
    No problem for two years and a half.
    Last night, for a reason unknown to me, the computer went into sleep mode and when it woke up, the whole screen was flickering and had vertical lines in it, despite having up-to-date SMC and EFI drivers.
    Assuming that they had been corrupted, I wanted to re-run the updaters. But the computer refuses, saying that it is not needed.
    So, my question is "HOW CAN I FORCE A RE-RUN" OF THE SMC AND EFI UPDATERS ?"
    I have tried everything else, resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMC, tinkering with the monitor settings. But nothing works.
    I believe that running again the updaters is the only possibility left, but they are up-to-date
    Here is a summary of the iMac system info :
    iMac (20-inch, Early 2006) IM41.0055.B08 (EFI 1.1) 1.1f5 (SMC 1.0).
    Many thanks in advance for any suggestions
    Patrice
    PS : I have tried to contact the "experts" at Apple Support but, because my machine is two years old, they want me to buy time to ask this question from them, despite the fact that the problem stems clearly from a faulty design at the beginning of the iMac life, and that the knowledge base says that there is no unresolved issue presently with this model !
    Well, the problem is still there after two years and I only avoided it by deactivating the energy saver.
    But Apple never mentioned how to force running an updater if the machine does not want to ...

    You can restore a backup only by using the iOS Setup Assistant.

  • System error after installing 10.4.6 Update and J2SE 5.0 Release 4

    Hi,
    I just installed OS X 10.4.6 update and J2SE 5.o Release 4 and the system doesn't start any more. I get a black screen which says:
    [date] [my computer name] getty:/dev/console: Operation not supported by device
    Any suggestions?
    I will try to start from CD (when I am home later), but first I need to eject the DVD, which is still in the drive. How to do this when the system does not start?
    Thanks,

    Hi Ulrike,
    I will try to start from CD (when I am home later),
    but first I need to eject the DVD, which is still in
    the drive. How to do this when the system does not
    start?
    All CD/DVD drives that come installed in a Mac should allow you to eject the CD/DVD tray. Check your owner's manual--the instructions on how to eject the tray are usually given there. For example, on some PowerBook models you had to gently insert a paper clip into one side of the loading slot and push. On the DVD drive in my PowerMac there is a small hole through which I can instert a paper clip.
    As for what is causing your problems, I don't know. From what I've gathered, however, installing the combo update (~140 megs) is more reliable than the incremental one (~60 megs). Booting from an external drive helps, too. You might try that.

  • DS5.2P4 SMC and Trusted Extensions

    I am having real trouble installing JDS 5.2P4 on my TX system. Here is the just of the issue:
    I have installed a SunBlade 2500 from scratch with Solaris 10 8/07 (SUNWXall)
    I then install and configure TX.
    Reboot -- -s and install Patch Cluster dated 29 Jan 08 (yes there is a newer patch cluster but I have not tested that one in my environment)
    Reboot -- -r -s, install the following patches:
    122212-23
    119538-14
    125533-05
    128404-01
    119313-16
    11 9315-11
    Next I install Directory Server, start smc, and execute the dtsetup commands.
    The problem is I only see files in the list of managable scopes. I have found very little to no documentation on dtsetup.
    The frustrating thing is I have done this at least 10 times prior and have NEVER seen this problem.
    I am completely stuck and would appreciate any suggestions.

    Found the problem, I feel stupid, I was opening the non-TSOL toolbox in SMC.

  • SMC and RMIERROR in Solaris 10

    I spent a while trying to find the Solaris Management Console in Solaris 10 via Java Desktop System so I could easily create a number of users etc. I found it and ran it and was pleasantly suprised to see it run OK first time. I logged in with root username and password and all seemed to be working OK.
    At this point, my U30 thought it's hostname was UNKNOWN. I have since resolved this, but to my horror I can no longer use SMC. It opens OK, and I can navigate around, but when I try to go into a particular application I get an error message saying:
    The "Users" application is not able to connect to the server. Reason: RMIERROR. Verify that the server is running. If it is running, try stopping and restarting it.
    Number one, I have no idea how to check the server, or how to stop and start it, and number two, I have no idea what an RMIERROR is!
    I noticed a message at the bottom of the SMC said unknown:898 not found, but it also mentions the correct hostname:898 is found. I checked the preferences and they also seem OK. I tried adding UNKNOWN to hosts also but that didn't work. I also tried to log in as a different user but again, it didn't work.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Quickly, before I go over and start using the SGi instead!

    I have seen a similar issue with SMC. I first invoked the appication when the hostname was "unknown". Later I resolved the hostname issue and tried to restart SMC.
    For reasons I am not clear on it tried to open the toolbox on "unknown" instead on my host. There is a way to go into SMC and specify a hostname/tool_box_PATH which got me back working.
    It was as if SMC was unable to understand that the hostname had changed and was trying to invoke the toolbox across the net.

  • Confusion over J2SE and J2SE SDK

    Hi,
    I understand that J2SE (Java2 Platform, Standard Edition) is an abstract specification from Sun and J2SE SDK is Sun's implementation of J2SE platform.
    If Sun is releasing a new version of their J2SE platform, what are the things from the below list that can be changed and how.
    1. The Java Virtual Machine Specification
    2. Java API
    3. The Java Language Specification
    For example, I notice that for every new release, only the API version is changed where as the The Java Languge and JVM specifications remained the same since very long. Let us say that a new keyword is added, shouldn't the JVM spec and the Java Language Spec change??
    Where can I get the release notes of J2SE (not J2SE SDK)?
    Thanks,

  • Ever since my update to Mavericks, my Mac mini won't connect to my wifi network. I reset SMC and still nothing. The error message reads that my WiFi network could not be joined, yet my iPad and Macbook can connect fine. Any help here would be great.

    I recently upgraded to Mavericks on my macmini and suddenly it won't connect to my home wifi network.  It says I need to move closer to my router whioch is really close and it worked fine before so I doubt this is the issue.  Also, my IPad and Macbook connect just fine to the network, so it seems like its localized to my macmini and now funny enough my IPhone.  I tried reseting SMC and PRAM, but this didn't help at all.  Any helpful suggestions?

    Regarding the start up sound, i opened the L Bracket but Ram was seated properly. I just checked the ram's position but didn't remove it. However, i found the right most screw of the L-bracket was loosen, i don't know how.
    Do you think i should remove the ram and reinsert it? If so, do i have to reset the PRAM after that?
    The system profiler shows the ram is ok-

  • HT3964 I've tried to reset my SMC and battery still won't take charge.

    My battery won't charge.  The led light wont even turn on.  I tried the steps to reset the SMC and nothing worked. 

    It's time to make the dreaded trip to the Apple Store or the Authorized Service Provider, with the wallet trembling at the big bite they will take. At best, a new battery solves the problem. Won't worry you more by going into the "at worst" section...

  • JDK1.5.0 and J2SE 5.0

    Hi Friends,
    I'm trying to download jdk from sun website...I got a doubt like is JDK1.5.0 and J2SE both are same...if not...wht is the difference....
    thanks
    keshav

    JDK (Java Developpment Kit) is the old name.
    J2SE (Java2 Standard Edition) is the new name for standard JDK (versus J2EE, Java2 Enterprise Edition)
    So JDK1.5.0 == J2SE 1.5.0 == J2SE 5.0 (for marketing concerns, Sun crunched the "1." before the "5". "1.5.0" is developpers language, "5.0" is end-user langauge)

  • Difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I want to do some java and j2ee development and run these applications in a java application server environment. Can anyone give me some advices on what should i need to download? Moreover, what is the difference between, jre, jdk, sdk and j2se? Should i need to download all of jre, jdk, sdk and j2se?
    thanks and regards,
    david

    JRE is the 'java runtime environment'. It is responsible for creating a Java Virtual Machine to execute Java class files (e.g., run Java programs)
    JDK is the 'java development kit'. It is the same as the 'SDK' (at least in my mind). It normally comes bundled with a JRE and also allows you to compile Java source files into Java class files. The JDK allows you to both write and run programs.
    J2SE is "Java 2 Standard Edition". It can refer to either a JDK or JRE. This is 'core' Java. There is also J2EE "Java 2 Enterprise Edition" which allows you to write middleware or server code more easily.
    Your final choice will be which version. If you want the current, most common implementation:
    J2SE 1.4.2, J2EE 1.3
    If you want to skip ahead to the next generation, the latest releases would be:
    J2SE 1.5 (also called J2SE 5.0) and J2EE 1.4
