Solaris 10 NIC, what do you use?

Well my previous post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5258945 yeilded no comments other than a link to the approved hardware list http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/, thank you SolarisSAinPA for that little bit of info, but I am sill left with a NIC problem: anything that I can find for sale is either 300+ dollars or "repeported to work"--so my original question:
"Could anyone, or everyone, please chime in with what NIC's they have on their Solaris 10 x86 installs that work great for them, I'd prefer 1 Gb ethernet but 100Mb would be fine too"
I have a list of 6 that are reported to work that are in the less than 100 dollar bracket, but all are "reported to work", others would be well appreciated too:
D-Link DFE-530TX
DFE-550TX
NetGear FA 311
GA 311 (Gigabit)
3Com 3C905C
Realtek 8201CL PHY (on board 10/100 not supported)
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Well thank you all those of you that replied to my posts concerning a NIC for Solaris 10.
I am writing this using my new native Solaris 10 home system now and it is working marvelously.
I settled on the NetGear GA311 (1Gb) ethernet card (about 30 bucks at Staples), eventhough it was listed in the AHL as "reported to work". It works natively with the current build of Solaris 10 and couples to my NetGear 1Gb router at the rated 1Gb max speed--VERY VERY FAST!!!
I just did a sys-unconfig and when the machine rebooted it instantly recognised the NIC and configured it to 1Gb.
If you are looking to run Solaris 10 Native, I recomend the GA311, it's working great for me!

What are you using as a Flash replacement for 64-bit machines?

Hi,
I was reading about the vulnerabilities in Adobe's Flash and decided to remove the offending package. I opened Chromium to make sure my Flash still worked, as I understood that Chromium implemented another method for rendering Flash stuff. I was wrong. For example, YouTube tells me that I need Flash 10 or higher. I tried to re-install the flashplugin package, but it is no longer in the repos.
I can live without Flash content, but it's nice to have.
So the question is, what are you using instead, that can be installed from the main repos?
Many thanks,
Chris.

I have installed both lightspark 0.4.3 and gnash 0.8.8, since lightspark should be able to 'fall back to gnash for older videos' (see changelog of lightspark).
I have tried some flash-websites in firefox and all of them seem to use gnash and there was 1 website that didn't load the content (www.deredactie.be - our national tvstation). So, I'm under the impression that lightspark is not used by firefox.
Has anyone found out how to do this?
Secondly, gnash should be able to use VA-API (hardware acceleration). Is it just a question to install libva and let gnash do the rest, or does one have to recompile gnash to build the support in?
Zl.
PS: to whoever thinks flashplugin is the 'real flash': gnash has beaten it in terms of providing hardware acceleration. hooray for opensource!

Documents managment: what do you use?

I've been trying to find a good document manager to organise the mess I have in articles, lecture notes, books, etc, mostly in pdf format. So I need a tool like Referencer (http://icculus.org/referencer/) or gPapers (http://gpapers.org/) that could help me with that. Lamentably, both of them have a large list of dependencies, like hal and some gnome stuff, I would like to avoid. So I wander if any of you knows about some other, less bloated, tool to do the job.
Maybe one of you have made a nice little script to retrieve BibTeX citations plus a database, or something along those lines.
So, what do you use to organise your bibliography?

itsbrad212 wrote:The only documents I read are pdf's, so I use either mupdf or zathura for that.
EDIT: Wouldn't this fit better in Off-Topic, as this is in the section for requesting help?
I am asking for help. Despite the title, this wasn't meant to be a poll, and for sure not about document readers, but I get where the confusion arises.
So far it seems mendeley is the closest thing to what I'm looking for, it looks fairly complete. But I dislike 2 things, it being closed source and the need to create an account to use the full featured program. I think I will use it though, at least while I find a replacement or make some time to write a script to retrieve the bibtex citations from internet.
I won't mark the thread as solved in case someone else knows about a good way to manage bibliographic material.

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.

That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

What do you use to write Java programs?

Hi. Do you mind if I ask you what do you use to write your programs in Java? I am a student and we are using NetBeans IDE 3.6. I know it is a bit old but the tutor says we must stick to that one. What is best for writing Java programs?
Thanks.

Do you think those things will make things easier or is it more complex?If you're learning on your own, you'd better use something more up to date (most probably better interface, childhood bugs fixed, and better support on the Internet).
If you're in a classroom, or a training room, you'd better use what the instructor tells, or at least what other students/trainees use. Easier to get help and share tips if everyone has the same setup.
Good luck learning Java.

What do you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6

What can you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6. You cannot import it anymore to make pictures. I do not want to print one at a time.

I think the Bridge Output Module comes as standard with CS6, but I might be wrong. Even if you have CC, you can download the Output Module.
Install Adobe Output Module

Usually just a cloth is good. If you want to keep fingerprints off you could buy an anti fingerprint screen protector or use the apple smart cover, which cleans the screen whenever you use it.

What do you use to create distributable packages with ARD?

What do you use to create distribution packages for ARD?
I.E. a package for installing the new Oracle Java 7.21 on all our machines.
Or, a package for installing Micosoft Office 14.3.2 udapters?
Specifically for 10.7 and 10.8 users.
Install Ease?
Jamf Composer?
Packages?
xCode PackageMaker?
Which one should I put my time into using?
Thanks.

Nicolas, Have you been able to get the Adobe Update to work? I get stopped at the first step, putting in the command-line to install the AUS2.0. I think we have a support Contract, i should probably just ask Adobe for assistance.
Does noboby create their own distributable packages? Maybe i'm looking at this wrong.
I see that even Microsoft puts their updates into a .pkg file that is pushable through ARD. Maybe most everyone else does?
I was able to get an Adobe Flash Player Distributable installer, from Adobe, you have to fill out a form asking for permission for the distributable installer, and they send you a link to the files.. ugh. but fine. I have the .pkg installer for Flash, and that works pushing out over ARD.
http://www.adobe.com/products/players/flash-player-distribution.html
I guess my life would be great, if i can just get a Updater source for CS5.5 and CS6.
I did create the Adobe Package distribution for actually installing the CS6 over ARD. That works.
I have a licensing glitch on deploying new machine off a build that has CS6 on it. I'm able to get around the licensing glitch by using the Adobe Serialization tool, that's fine.
I guess i'm just looking for a CS6 Updates tool. I'm fine creating a CS6 updater package using InstallEase or something. I'm wondering what the best one is.
IF most everything already comes as a .pkg file nowadays, and it's just Adobe that's difficult. I guess there's not really a need to create .pkg files for anyone? So nobody really uses them?

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer?

What do you use to read .stn files on mavericks? Genuine fractals doesn't work any longer? I get an error message that adobe photo shop 5 cant open it because the modules? arent right. I assume that it is because I now have an intel machine. I know other people have used this file format and so how do you open your photo files?

When I try to open in Adobe Reader is says, "Adobe Reader could not open 'Blank-AF 77-LOE.xfdl' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)." Now what. I didn't email it. I transferred from an external hard drive. The file opens just fine on a Windows PC.

What do you use to listen to streams / podcasts / last.fm ?

I'm looking for a way to manage my stream, podcast and last.fm music listening, preferably through a single ncurses or a GTK based interface. I'm still using BMPx which is a buggy, no longer maintained resource hog but has some features that I really like such as:
- uncluttered intuitive interface
- Last.fm tag cloud, similar artists, album art, quickly look up artist info on the web
- easy way for searching and filtering shoutcast and icecast streams
What do you use?

Great guestion mate!
I use smartphone LG Spirit 4G for Netflix and Spotify on the go with Sennheiser CX2.00G earphones. Great sound, really stunning bass and vocals on these. Pleased everytime to hear every detail outside home no matter music or series/movies. 4.7" screen.
At home I will try to use for music Pioneer SMA1 again, as finally I can remote it with new phone without problems. Cheap phone was freezing on app all the time. For series/movies I have Philips 42PFL5008T 42" Smart-TV. I remote Netflix and YouTube app now using my phone - as it never freezes now. Old was unable to remote well, as it was cheap.
On laptop I do everything else. Since laptop is Ubuntu, Netflix will not work and Spotify app is no-needed and hard to install, web player low quality. Laptop is for forums, surfing, blogging etc.

What would you use to clean a USB female connector on a TP X200?

I accidentally spilled some thick sugary drink in there which dried up. What would you use to make it usable again?Thanks.

Try a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol. Make sure to remove the power supply and battery and have plenty of swabs on hand. Don't soak the connector

What do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

what do you use to speed up final cut pro x on my macbook pro early 2011?

I don't use anything to speed up FCP X on your MBP.
Seriously we need statistical info on why you think it needs speeding up.
Poor performance is often associated with incorrect usage, lots of other apps open or a hard drive that is more than 75% full or fragmented.
Ideally all the media should be stored on an external hard drive and not the MBP's.

Keyboard shortcuts - what do you use?

Okay, for a long time now, I've been using my windows key (super key) to launch programs and stuff on my system,
but now I've bought a IBM model M keyboard which has no windows key. I don't like binding ctrl+alt + key for my shortcuts,
because those combinations are often already used by the program I'm using. It was very nice with the super key. As it is
not a standard key, it is not occupied by any other program. What key combinations do you use?
I've been thinking about using my gamepad for shortcut keys, or I could buy a small USB keyboard, just for shortcuts.

Okay, I ended up sacrificing my caps lock key for the super key, and I kept the scroll lock as it is. But everything is still not sweet harmony, since I have some problems with the multi-key/compose-key, or whatever it is called. I'm using danish layout and want to be able to write square brackets and the 'at' sign, when holding down alt-gr. The functionality works flawlessly in the terminal, but not in xorg. Please come with your suggestions.
Here is my xorg config:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
EndSection
Settung the XkbModel to pc102 does not change anything.
and this is my .Xmodmap:
keycode 66 = Super_L
remove Mod4 = Super_L
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
add Mod4 = Super_L
add Mod3 = Scroll_Lock
I had to 'add Mod3' to get the Scroll_Lock key to work
And the important part of my rc.conf is:
LOCALE="da_DK.utf8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Europe/Copenhagen"
KEYMAP="dk-latin1.map.gz"
CONSOLEFONT="cp850-8x16"
CONSOLEMAP=8859-15
USECOLOR="yes"
I've tried to use keymap "dk.map.gz" as well, but that is also out of luck.
Another minor issue is that num lock turns off, just after the grub screen, and I would like to keep it on.
