Solaris 8 CDE Configuration

Hiya,
Can anyone point me in the direction of the file that CDE's Style Manager updates to force the "home" session to be used on login (instead of the "current") ?
(I'm in the process of constructing a Solaris 8 2/2 client build with a severly clamped down CDE and I'm having some problems sorting out a preconfigured home session for users. I need to be able to force the $HOME/.dt/sessions/home session to be loaded when the user logs in, but I'm not in a position to use Style Manager to set it up. I've trawled through the $HOME/.dt files and I can't see what Style Manager actually does to the dt environment. I don't even mind if I have to force it to use home for every user including root).
Thanks

how about the resolution you have selected for your monitor? just a thought....

Capturing Alt Space in Solaris CDE

Hello.
I have this table in an application. I need to popup a menu when the user presses "Alt + Space", when a row has focus. Obviosly, one should use getInputMap(..), getActionMap(..) methods to register the desired action for this particular keystroke. It works fine in Windows, fvwm window manager. However, in Solaris CDE, the frame's menu pops up.
Question1: Is it possible to capture "Alt + Space" such that it works in CDE too?
I beleive that the application is not getting the event at all. When I press Alt, a keylistener in the table does get the event. However, the moment i press "Space", the frame's menu gets activated.
Question2: Is this order of event handling?
OS gets the event ---> gives it to Window Manager ---> gives it to application?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx
Prasanth.
PS: This is the relavant code snippet.
            final String ALT_SPACE_COMMAND = "ALT_SPACE";
            InputMap keyMap = getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
            // Alt + Space shows the popup.
            KeyStroke ALT_SPACE = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_SPACE, KeyEvent.ALT_MASK);
            keyMap.put(ALT_SPACE, ALT_SPACE_COMMAND);
            actionMap.put(ALT_SPACE_COMMAND, new AbstractAction()
                     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
                          showPopupMenuForSelectedRow();
                });

You need to remove a default event from the space bar most probably, look on the api in the keymap class there is a predefined method there

Solaris 10 Configuration

I am having trouble configuring my internet connection in Solaris 10. I don't really know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Did the Solaris 10 installer recognize a supported network device?
If that is the case, the installer should have prompted you for the
NIC's configuration. And when you boot Solaris from the harddisk,
the command "ifconfig -a" should list a network interface in addition
to the loopback interface "lo0". (And in a next step we can try to
configure the NIC to access external systems)
Otherwise, if all that is listed by "ifconfig -a" is the loopback interface
"lo0", then you have to find a 3rd party NIC device driver (or maybe
modify / extend the standard Solaris PCI device -> device driver
bindings), to be able to access the NIC. The command
/usr/X11/bin/scanpci can help to identify the PCI cards available in
the system. If you know what kind of ethernet pci hardware is
present in the system, you can start looking for a Solaris x86
NIC device driver (e.g. here: http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/index.htm ).

Solaris Internet Configuration in VMWare and installation

Hi !
I'm really passionate about this unix-solaris thing.
But these nudges are pulling me back from installing it actually in my hard drive.
And also there is the Internet configuration problem.
Problem:1
I have 2 IDE HDD.
Primary HDD: 80 GB
VolumeName-Type-Size
SystemBoot-Primary/Active/NTFS-100 MB
Extended Partition:
VISTA-Logical/NTFS-20 GB
2008-Logical/NTFS-10 GB
Data-Logical/NTFS-25 GB
Music-Logical/NTFS-9.42 GB
Solaris-Logical/BLANK-10GB .....Blank = No FS. Used Acronis DD10 for it.
Slave HDD: 40 GB
Extended Partition:
XP-Logical/NTFS-10GB
Fedora9-Logical/ext3-10GB
SWAP-Logical/SWAP-2GB
OpenSUSE103-Logical/ext3-15.25 GB
When I came to HDD configuration stage of installation,
I selected the pre-selected c0d0(bootdisk) ---Primary HDD/80GB.
But when I proceeded further it showed me:
Warning � The initial fdisk information found on the disk
c0d0 was invalid. Defaulting the entire disk to a Solaris partition.
So I aborted the installation.
I tried one more time, by changing the Solaris Blank logical drive to a primary partition.
But it didn't work.
Now I think Solaris 10 cannot be installed in a logical drive or more broadly speaking(assuming) it cannot be installed in HDD having logical drives,it should be all primary partitions.
Please help me on this.
I'm sick of installing it in VMWare.
Problem: 2
How am I supposed to configure my network connection.
I connect to my ISP using WAN Miniport(PPPOE).
It allots me dynamic IP(v4).
I read somewhere DNS should f.root-servers.net and in a magazine, a.solaris.net
I never came across such a thing in even in linux.
Problem: 3
If there is not so �feasible� solution to problem 1, VMWare Workstation comes into play.
And here too, I need help for configuration of network connection.
These are the values that I got when I installed Windows XP in the VMWare.

In the global zone, you can run something like the following:

Solaris CDE raises Fonts on JComponents

Hi,
I have an application written in swing. No matter what look and feel i use, when i run it on Solaris with CDE, all compents with text get "stretched" to be tall enough to hold two lines of text, even though there is only one line.
so check boxes look something like this:
text
[x]
with the text raised too high. the same effect happens with buttons that have icons.
its mostly just really ugly, but in some components, like JTable, the text is shifted up, but the table cell is not stretched, so the top half of the text gets cut off.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
-jl

my collegue has just informed me that it only happens when the application is launched over X11, with X11 server (the computer viewer the application) running on a solaris machine. It does not happen if you run it locally on a solaris machine.
and its not just on CDE.
again, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Solaris 8: Configuring HP 1300 Laserjet on

Hi there,
I had just add this printer as a �HP� PostScrip
printer to a SUN Blade 1000 Workstation.
The Printer daemon looks ok and It says that
it is printing; the problem, as usual is that
there is no impresion at all.
The Blade workstation has 3 conectors A, B
and Parallel and I tried to plug the printer on
any of them. There is some kind of special
configuration to make the printer do some
real work?
Thanks in advance
C�sar Bravo

I have the same problem with my laser printer 2605dn. the color is pale, i replaced the cartridges with original hp's but it did not help. I also lost the capability of double side printing that I had when I originally loaded the printer drivers. I noticed this all after I checked the internet for software updates for my printer. Are there any solutions for these problems?
please let me know.

Solaris 10 configuration parameters for Oracle 10g

Hello all,
I have installed:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - 64bit
on the latest version of Solaris 10 SPARC. My /etc/project file looks as follows:
user.oracle:101:Oracle:::process.max-sem-nsems=(privileged,256,deny);project.max-shm-ids=(privileged,256,deny);project.max-shm-memory=(privileged,17179869184,deny)
I followed the installation guide for 10g and used the max-sem-nsems and max-shm-ids that were recommended. However, the guide was for a 4GB SGA and we are using a 8GB SGA on a machine with 32GB of memory.
Now, my question is, do those nsem and shm-id parameters hold true for larger SGAs? We are having a problem that, when new oracle shadows are created, any processes that check the /proc table becomes painfully slow.

As allways kernel parameter could be found in documentation: http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/pre_install.htm#sthref258
Maybe you will be intersted in Werner Pushitz's article "Tuning and Optimizing Red Hat Enterprise Linux for Oracle 9i and 10g Databases" - http://www.puschitz.com/TuningLinuxForOracle.shtml
SGA, PGA. If you are not sure with proper sizeing then you can read this document - http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14211/memory.htm#PFGRF014
Note since 10g there is new feature called "Automatic Shared Memory Management"

Solaris Network Configuration

Hi,
In solaris7 I am able to connect server from local network.
But from external network, I could not.
Where should I configure the server to allow connections from external >networks.
Thankful to you.

Hi,
When you say not able to connect, generally it means ping is not working. This could be due to many reasons. Like:
1. Firewall or router access list setup at your place.
2. If there is no firewall, server does'nt know how to route packets to external network. In that case you need to define default route in routing table. ( /etc/defaultrouter ).
If you need to discuss it further, please mention your e-mail address, I would contact you for resolving this problem.
Thanks

Any one else have opinions, let's have 'em.

Titlebar on Solaris does not display Japanese characters

I have a Java Swing application (running on 1.6.0_06) that sets Japanese characters on the titlebar of Dialogs. The Japanese characters display correctly when the application runs on Windows but displays as ? when run under Solaris.
Details of the Solaris environment:
Japanese Solaris (UTF-8 encoding)
Japanese locale (ja_JP)
Using an X server that has the required font support (because Japanese characters display correctly everywhere except in the titlebar)
Using CDE as the session manager (and I think dtwn is the window manager used by CDE)
The funny thing is that the Japanese characters display correctly when I use the JDE session manager instead of CDE, so the problem exists only with CDE and the Open Look interface as well. I tried setting the required resources for WMShell too but that didn't work.
I seem to be missing some CDE configuration somewhere as the window manager is not able to figure out that the title is non-C locale.
Any pointers or help in this regard would be appreciated.

You're probably viewing the website in the wrong character set.
Try View > Character Encoding > some Japanese encodings, or UTF8 or 16
The website itself should specify the encoding. The default encoding - in Options > Content - is only used if the website doesn't specify an encoding. Maybe the website you're looking at specifies the wrong encoding.

Solaris 10 Dev. Edition - Network config issue (NIC,DHCP,Can't ping router)

I am a developer getting started with Solaris 10 configuration. I recently installed Solaris 10 and have run into an issue with network connectivity.
I have done much research on this and I was able to get communiction to the internet established once, but the settings were lost on reboot.
Overview - The Solaris box is connected to a router which is acting as a DHCP server.
AMD 64 dual 2.6
nForce4+ integrated NIC
1) I am not able to obtain an address from the router. Nor do I get a respons back when I ping it. I get an IP etc if I boot into Windows so phyicial connectivity is fine.
2) Upon reboot the device nfo0 as shown using ifconfig -a has an IP of 0.0.0.0.
3) If I run ifconfig [hostname] my machine gets the ip from the hosts file, but I would like to obtain this from the router.
4) NOTE - the machine shows as active on my router, but the Solaris box cannot be reached from other computers on the networ, nor do I get a reply back when pinging the router from the Solaris box.
GOAL - reach and obtain a DHCP from the router and have the changes stick upon reboot.
/etc/hosts contents
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost
192.168.1.55 solarisX /*<-- this is what I get when I do ifconfig nfo0 solarisX */
/etc/hosname.nfo0
netmask + 255.255.255.0
solarisX
/etc/defaultrouter
192.168.1.254
/et c/netmasks
192.168.0.0 255.255.2550
Specific Steps taken:
Using the driver nfo-2.4.5 locate at http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ I did the following.
% cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
% rm obj Makefile
% ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
% ln -s ${KARCH} obj
where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
"gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
4. Testing
Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
# cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
# modload obj/nfo
# devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
# ifconfig nfoN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
# ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for nfoN)
# ifconfig nfoN YOUR-HOST-NAME
# ifconfig nfoN ( ensure IP address is correct)
# ifconfig nfoN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
5. Installation
After you ensure that the nfo driver is fully functional, install it.
(1) copy the nfo driver into the kernel directory
# cd /.../nfo-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
If you do not test the nfo driver yet, execute the following commands:
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i nfo (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
(2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
/etc/hostname.nfoN
(3) Reboot the system.
# init 6

Thanks Alan. I worked on trying to get the NIC working again last night. I had it working once, although the settings did not perist. I can still get the device to load, but I can't communciate with the router (it's not physical because another OS can reach it.
I took your advice and tried the sys-unconfig. But I did not have much success.
I am wondering if plopping in a new PCI NIC would be the most efficient route to get the server up.
What kind of NIC do you utilize and have had success with?
I am looking at possibly a DLINK DFE-530 or NetGear FA-311. I don't need wireless at this point just a rock solid DEV box.
Thanks again for the previous info.
