Solaris 9 Bug with Installer Scripts?
The installer for my product, which works fine on Solaris versions from 2.5 through 2.9 Early Release, does not work on the released Solaris 9. The problem is visible right away in my "request" file, which early in the file uses the standard shell variable '$0'.
The result I get is something like:
"/tmp/installBOayFd/checkinstallDOayFd", rather than the expected
"/myhome/mypkg/install/request". I don't know why files are being referenced from "/tmp", and the garbage characters look suspiciously like a string terminator is being left out someplace.
Does anybody know anything about this? If so, is there an expected fix or a workaround?
Here is the output from the command:
bash-2.05$ /usr/jdk/latest/bin/java -version:"1.5+" -version
java version "1.5.0_15"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_15-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_15-b04, mixed mode, sharing)
It looks like the java version should be okay, but it doesn't seem to include the definition for TransportAdapterException.
Thanks for pointing out that this cron job doesn't actually do what I was hoping that it did, which was to run a sort of "smpatch update" automatically each night to handle the downloading and/or installation of "safe" patches. I'll probably just drop it.

I wrote a script that:
1. gathers data from cells copied in an excel spreadsheet
2. creates variables from data
3. creates a new job folders using variables
4. copies an excel file into the job folder
5. opens the excel file and fills in specified cells with variables
6. saves and closes the excel file
The problem I'm having is with the last step. Instead of closing the new file, it wants to close the other document I copied from. Here is the last bit of code.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
open myexcelfile
set value of cell ("A" & 2) to myvariable1
set value of cell ("B" & 2) to myvariable2
set value of cell ("D" & 2) to myvariable3

You may be running into an issue that is pointed out here (refer to Opening a Workbook)
http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.23/23.02/2302AppleScript/index.html
"When referencing the active workbook property, one thing to keep in mind is that, if another workbook is brought to the front, then your script may reference the incorrect workbook. Because of this, it is recommended to reference workbooks by name."
So based on the info from above the below may work for you?
set _File to choose file with prompt "Select File"
set theName to name of (info for _File)
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
open t_File
set thebook to workbook theName
-- DO YOUR GATHERING STUFF --
close workbook thekbook saving no
set myexcelfile to choose file with prompt "Select File"
open myexcelfile
set value of cell ("A" & 2) to myvariable1
set value of cell ("B" & 2) to myvariable2
set value of cell ("D" & 2) to myvariable3
set value of cell ("G" & 2) to myvariable4

I'm trying to update iTunes on my mac (Power Mac G5 running tiger), but it always freezes at 'Running itunes installer script'. I have tried a few different versions of iTunes, but I have the same problem with all of them. I'm stuck on version 4 (which came with my os discs)! Help?!
Ok, First this link should solve the windows scripting host error. I used "Download windows script host" in a google search and it was the first hyperlink.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB -95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en
I'm assuming you are trying to run the installer from apple. What I would suggest is you download the installer manually to your desktop then launch the installer. If try to run the installer over the intertubes you may run into a problem like you did.
Then I would uninstall itunes 8 and any software associated with it like the apple update software, quicktime, apple mobile device support. However uninstalling itunes should remove any additional software it installs. Then clean out your temp folder:
6. Clean out your temp folders,
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Then with a newly download installer on your desktop try launching it. Let me know if that helps.
Here is an apple doc that help.

Using deb/rpm installer scripts with ArchLinux?
I'm having an issue with installing some education software from a CD-ROM(LPL Symbolic Logic stuff), and although it supports Linux, the software is installed via either one of two installer scripts, one for dpkg and one for rpm. Since I have neither under Arch', I get these messages when running the shell scripts:
. extracting DEBs
. installing DEBs
lpl-2_5_0-linux-deb-installer: line 23: dpkg: command not found
...and the rpm one:
. extracting RPMs
. installing RPMs
lpl-2_5_0-linux-rpm-installer: line 23: command not found
It should be noted that I can't simply edit the install scripts or something, as it extracts the deb/rpm files from one of the only three files on the CD(and NOT the Internet): the installer scripts(the third file is the readme, which doesn't help in this case, if you're wondering).
Any information on how to get this program installed without having to resort to using WINE or my XP partition would be greatly appreciated.:/N/M, actually found out how to get it the raw rpm(or deb) files thanks to someone on the IRC channel(sorry, forgot your name already ><). If anyone somehow was in the same predicament, just comment out the lines with rpm and rm -rf in the script, run it, and change to the /tmp/extract.[whatever] directory and the files should be there.

Any ideas?Sometimes, it's just easier and faster
to just start all over and re-install,
particularly when you have only a fresh install on your system.
This time, do not choose to include all the optional "documentation"
(that's what is held on CD5).
I have never found a reason to ever read that documentation so I stopped installing it.
... or you could download and burn a copy of CD5 and use it when prompted. -
Solaris 11.2 x86 installation problem on GPT partitioned SSD
I recently bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 pre-installed on it. I want to install Solaris 11.2 as dual-boot together with the pre-installed windows 8.1.
The computer has a 128 GB SSD which is GPT partitioned. The SSD has 5 GPT partitions which are in use. I used a partition manager in Windows to shrink the size of the 5th partition (the windows system partition) so that i now have about 31 GB of unpartitioned, unused space after the 5 used partitions where i want to install Solaris into.
For installation, I downloaded the Solaris text installer ISO and burned it onto a CD-R. Now, whenever the installation menu shows me the GPT partitions of my SSD and i choose "Use a GPT partition of the disk" it always goes back to the first menu screen where it says "Welcome to the Oracle Solaris installtion menu".
Also, the installation menu shows the 5 used GPT partitions correctly, but then it shows me not one, but two partitions as "unused" with a size of 0.0 MB.
What am i doing wrong?If you have support, then you will be better served by opening a support case.
Assuming you don't, or you would have gone there already... There may well be bugs with supporting multiple OS's under GPT partitions. I have no idea how much testing we did for such cases, and to be totally honest we put little effort into dual-booting systems these days, as using VM's in VIrtualBox or other VM managers is a better answer for 90i+% of people.
That said, posting the output from prtvtoc for the disk would give someone a chance to see if there's an obvious bug. -

Solaris 10 hands-off installation from a bootable DVD
Hello,
I have a problem with installing the Solaris 10 using a bootable DVD with a flar archive. I want this installation to be totally hands-off, but unfortunately after I run this boot command at the ok prompt:
ok boot cdrom - install ...
the system is rebooted and the interactive Solaris Installation Program is launched:
{color:#3366ff}-- The Solaris Installation Program
The Solaris installation program is divided into a series of short sections
where you'll be prompted to provide information for the installation. At
the end of each section, you'll be able to change the selections you've
made before continuing.
About navigation...
- The mouse cannot be used
- If your keyboard does not have function keys, or they do not
respond, press ESC; the legend at the bottom of the screen

On the next screens I have to choose the NFS4 domain:
{color:#3366ff}-- NFSv4 Domain Name{color}
{color:#3366ff}NFS version 4 uses a domain name that is automatically derived from the
system's naming services. The derived domain name is sufficient for most
configurations. In a few cases, mounts that cross domain boundaries might
cause files to appear to be owned by "nobody" due to the lack of a common
domain name.
The current NFSv4 default domain is: ""

[ ] Specify a different NFSv4 domain
Esc-2_Continue Esc-6_Help
{color}
After I select "Continue", the installation is proceeding automatically.
Could you please tell me what I should to to make this installation hands-free?
The sysidcfg file contains these parameters:
system_locale=C
timezone=PST8PDT
timeserver=localhost
terminal=sun-cmd
name_service=NONE
nfs4_domain=dynamic
network_interface=primary {netmask=255.255.255.0 protocol_ipv6=no}
security_policy=NONE
I have found some information in the internet, that I need to create the
.NFS4inst_state.domain file in /etc directory. But it doesn't work...
I have also read that I need to edit the post installation script, but as far as I know this script is executed after the installation, so it doesn't affect the solaris Installation Program that is launched after the first reboot.
If you could give me any tips on how to resolve yhis problem, I'd be very thankful.
Regards,
PrzemekI had similar, not identical, issues with a custom JumpStart DVD I was creating. I was not using flar and it was for x86, not SPARC.
I found that changing the case for the value assigned to network_interface made a difference. In looking at the sysidcfg manpage and online JumpStart documentation, all the examples they used had capitalized "PRIMARY" and "NONE". When I changed the value to the capitalized equivelant, my particular issue had gone away.
You may also want to consider adding ip_address and default_route to the network_interface section. Test either way to identify the differing results.
In my particular scenereo, I did not want any networking configuration to be done. The resulting line in sysidcfg was:
network_interface=NONE {hostname=jsclient}HTH -
Need help with a script applied by GPO
Hello,
I need to automate WebFeed insertion for Remote App Users at user logon.
RDS 2012 R2 in place. Remote Apps are provided to W7 clients.
Currently, WebFeed link must be inserted manually in each user's Control Panel\RemoteApp and Desktop Connections. There
is no straight forward way from Microsoft.
But there is a script and instruction I found on web...
I followed the instruction... Created GPO. GPO applies to user but nothing happens.
Can somebody check the script and the instruction that I could wrongly applied.
In instruction there is no word about changing something in the script but only wcx file that the script should
use.
The script is below and here is my .wcx file:
<?xml version="1.0? encoding="utf-8? standalone="yes"?>
<workspace name="Enterprise Remote Access" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ts/2008/09/tswcx" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<defaultFeed url="https://my_webserver_real_FQDN/rdweb/Feed/webfeed.aspx" />
</workspace>
I changed the quotes to vertical (") from (”) that
were in my wcx when copied the lines from web.
Still not works.
I
checked Application log, PowerShell and RemoteApp in eventviewer under user session
Everything is clean.
Were I can check the script execution log?
When the user with applied script logs in, the icon of Remote
connection appears for 10 seconds on the task bar and disappears.
Looks like it's trying...
Check please if the script really should not be touched and provide some troubleshooting
steps.
Thanks!

BUG with Memory CAS-Latency with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS
I have a bug with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS. I try many MSI i848P with same trouble : the CAS Latency is always set to 2.0 even if the memory is CAS Latency 2.5.
It doesn't depend on PSU or others things (graphics card,...).
Try with Pentium 4C 2.6 or 2.8
But I have just one brand of memory (but many different sticks). Chips reference are VT56DD32M8PC-5 (256 or 512 Mb). This memory are reference as Cas Latency 2.5
If I set memory timings on SPD or manual : same result !!!
If I set memory speed on AUTO or 400 MHz : same result !!!
If I set other timings, then they are save correctly (ie : RAS# precharge set to 3 or 4).
I check timings with latest version of Memtest86+ V1.0 : http://www.memtest.org/
and of course, I get many errors.
The same memory tested on others mobo, give good results.
I try Windows XP installation and I get.... blue screens.
With some memory sticks : I have this message "memory timing too tighly",
if I press F1 to continue: then I get a memory cas latency of 2.5 with memtest86+ and then no error.
I try BIOS revision 1.0 (default) and 1.2: same result !!!
So, as I said before, I think this is a bug with the BIOS. I agree that a BIOS cannot detect correctly all kind of memory, but if you set memory timings manualy, then it must be set as you want ! ?
Any idea...
ThanksH0 Alex,
You are correct.I have the same problem with my 875p neo lsr on bios 1.9. TH0S 0S B0OS BUG.but everyone says your psu is not enough or your rams isnt on the MSI Memory Compatability List.
why all of rams I try give same result?
MS0 boards works only with 10 or 20 ram.you don't say customer why you use this rams?
why in asus boards many os these rams working properly.This rams isnt on the MSI Memory Compatability List.but working.I try many no name rams and results are very good in all of the tests.
In my opinion MS0 bioses doesnt work good enough.

Optimization bug with C++ inlining
Hi,
While evaluating Sun Studio 11 I have identified an optimization bug with C++ inlining.
The bug can easily be reproduced with the small program below. The program produces
wrong results with -xO2, because an inline access function always returns the value 0.0
instead of the value given on the commandline:
djerba{ru}16 : CC -o polybug polybug.cc
djerba{ru}17 : ./polybug 1.0
coeff(0): 1.000000
djerba{ru}18 : CC -o polybug -xO2 polybug.cc
djerba{ru}19 : ./polybug 1.0
coeff(0): 0.000000 <<<<<<<<<< wrong, should be 1.000000This occurs only with optimization level O2; levels below or above O2 don't
exhibit the bug.
Compiler version is
Sun C++ 5.8 Patch 121017-01 2005/12/11
on Solaris 8 / Sparc.
I include a preliminary analysis at the end.

int main(int argc,char* argv[]) {
double d = atof(argv[1]);
// creates Poly object and fills coefficient with index
// 0 with the value given on commandline
Poly* pC = new Poly;
pC->coefficients[0] = d;
pC->numvalid = 1;
troublefunc(pC);
return 0;
The disassembly fragment below shows that the access function coeff(0), instead
of retrieving coefficient[0] simply returns the fixed value 0.0 (presumably because the
optimizer "thinks" numvalid holds still the value 0 from the constructor and that therefore
the comparison "if (i < numvalid)" can be omitted).
Note: disassembly created from code compiled with -features=no%except for simplicity!

Hmmm... This seems to stress this formatting tags thing to its limits...Thanks for confirming this.
No, this happens neither in an Open Source package nor in an important product. This is an internal product, which is continuously developed with Sun Tools since 1992 (with incidents like this one being very rare).
I am a bit concerned with this bug though, because it might indicate a weakness in the area of C++ inlining (after all, the compiler fails to correctly aggregate a sequence of three fairly simple inline functions, something which is quite common in our application). If, on the other hand, this is a singular failure caused by unique circumstances which we have hit by sheer (un)luck, it is always possible to work around this: explicitly defining a assignment operator instead of relying on the compiler-generated one is sufficient to make the bug go away. -
IE7 Padding Bug with Spry Effects
I'm having a recurring issue with using the Spry Blind effect
in IE7 where, when upon trigerring the Blind, the width of the
element being expanded/contracted is expanding out to the right
over it's edges.
For example.
A div with a width of 800px and a padding of 20px;
When a Blind is triggerred on this element, the width of the
element would expand to 840px, the padding on the left side remains
fine, but the text now goes all the way to the right edge of the
newly widened element.
This has been extremely frustrating and doesn't occur in
Firefox.
I'm hoping this is a common problem. My implementation of the
script is fairly straightforward so I don't know if there is
anything else but a bug with the effect.Here is a somewhat messy version of the page I am working
with.
http://derekprospero.com/michael/example.html
If you click the green down arrow at the bottom of the top
right pane you will see the error.
The table expands out past the borders of the div. The
padding-left and padding-right on this div is 20px each, and it
expands out to 40px past the border of the div, so I am assuming
there is some correlation.
It also happens on the bottom one, though it is not as
evidence, since the text goes behind the background, isntead of
over it. -
downloaded Reader XI and started to recieve error 40000015, found the fourm with the patch to the registery fix, now it tells me unable to connect to the server. To many bugs with the reader, how do reinstall an older version?
I click on the launcher and nothing happens, 15 min later it will tell cant connect to the server.
My computer is a windows 8.1; 64 bit operating system. I am stationed in South Korea, but that should not affect the program. Help please.
JohnHi johnd83157268,
Sorry for the inconvenience that has caused to you.
Could you please let me know what changes have you made in the registry.
You might need to uninstall Adobe Reader from Control Panel and try install it again from the following link:
Adobe Reader Install for all versions
Please ensure that you are logged in as administrator and anti-virus is disabled as that might interrupt installation.
Try again and then let me know.
Regards,

Font bug with SMC (Management console)
I have got a bug with the font in Solaris Management Console, and only with it.
With Xorg, the font are corrected displayed, but with Xsun, there are horible.
I think there a problem with XSun, or with SMC, but I didn't know Xsun.
Thanks.Hello Senthilkumar,
Here are the outputs from the commands. The other ones that I left out (/var/adm/messages and showrev -p) had a lot of output and I wasn't sure what you needed. Please let me know what to post or if you want me to post the whole things.

Solaris sends SIGKILL to bash script?
I have this bash script that just loops forever (until stopped), it outputs data to files and runs various other commands to display information on the terminal. The problem I'm having is that solaris seems to send SIGKILL to this script after it's been running for a period of time. Typically a few hours. As far as I can tell there's doesn't appear to be anything obviously wrong with the script. Why would solaris send a SIGKILL?? I know it's a sigkill from the exit code 137.
Anyone have any suggestions?? I'm running Solaris 8.
ThanksNo idea, it doesn't really make sense.
You could check if there is anything in crontab or similar which kills processes of idle users, but thats a bit of a long-shoot.
Make your script log to a file frequently, so you can figure out when to determine if its always around the same time, and in which part of the script.
If Solaris would send it a kill signal it wouldn't be SIGKILL.
