Solaris as a guest OS with Virtual PC running Mac OS X as a host OS

Trying to instal Solaris as a guest OS - 5 times with Connectix Virtual PC 6 (Mac OS X - host OS) and once with MS Virtual PC 7. No success !
Everything's going well (Solaris detected video card and monitor) text based instal and GUI-based(finished instal CD1), until you need to reboot, to continue to proceed next.
After reboot message: X-window X11 cannot to be found but Install Lancher(GUI) is starting and ... unspectualy crushed.
Sort of message press return to reboot. rebooting.
loging with text:
root and password.
The question: How to re-start Install Lancher?
xinit : not found
startx: not found
Trying with VESA video card with minimum video effect - ZERO NOTHING !!!
THE QUESTION: HOW TO RE-START INSTALL LANCHER ? HELP will be appreciated
P.S. I have Mac Mini with Mac OS X Tiger There is no problem to install any Linux OS with Virtual PC 6 or even VP 7
I think Sun have to do something to make Solaris x86 as a guest OS run on
Virtual PC

ph0enix2002:
sys-unconfig [ENTER]
select XOrg when and entere other various config parameters when prompted
Please be more specific What is "entere other various config parameters when prompted" ?
What is your host system ? Mac OS X or MS Windows?
What is your version Virtual PC ?
How to re-start install lancher? I stuck whith first CD installed and must continue with second install CD 2 and all other stuff

  • How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

    Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
    Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
    Thanks in advance!
    Have a nice day!

    Always nice to see new faces
    Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
    This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
    http://www.parallels.com/
    http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
    The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
    There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
    http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
    With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
    You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.

  • How do you get the two step security to work with virtual machines running under parallels?

    I use Quickbooks running on a virtual PC under Parallels.  I have always have Quickbooks interface with Thunderbird on the PC side to email invoices to customers using my apple email account.
    Once I switched to two-step verification security, Apple doesn't recognize the "new" computer trying to access my mail account, but it also doesn't send any kind of code to a second device to authorize the access.
    For now, I've had to switch back to the traditional security and the above process immediately works again 9without asking me any security questions).
    Is there a way to have Apple recognize the virtual PC (or any other non-Mac computer) with two-step verification security?

    You have to go to your Apple ID and generate application specific passwords.

  • Installing Solaris as a guest OS on VirtualBox-1.6.0

    I am using VirtualBox-1.6.0 as my VM on an AMD ATHLON 1800+ with 1GB RAM running Fedora 9 (uname -r = 2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i686). My first attempt to install Solaris was with Solaris10 11/06, while the second attempt was with Solaris10 05/08.
    Solaris10 11/06: 1. Default screen resolution created a window too long with the bottom off screen.
    Is there a recommended resolution when the host screen resolution is 1440x900?
    2. Guest Additions failed to install properly
    What is the appropriate method for installing the Guest Additions for Solaris?
    Solaris10 05/08: 1. Install hangs when installing as a networked system at system 77% initialized prior to the actual install.
    2. Install hangs when installing as a non-networked system when system is at 100% complete and about to reboot. I manually powered off the VM
    unmounted the DVD image and then restarted the VM. When it rebooted, it complained that there wasn't a system on the hard drive.
    In both installs, I went with the default config of the VM (512MB RAM, 8MB Video RAM, creating a dynamic virtual disk starting at 20GB limit), and the install media were iso's, 11/06 5 CD iso files and 05/08 1 DVD iso file.
    TIA

    Just redid the install of Solaris10 11/06 and this time I was able to change the size of the window so that it is within my desktop. I am running 32 bit apps as my AMD processor is only 32 bit, also I originally went with the CDE desktop and later switched to JDE. I was also able to install the Guest Additions for Solaris this time without any errors using pkgadd from the cli. I haven't retried the 05/08 version yet, but will post when I do. One thing in common with 11/06 and OpenSolaris.200805 is that the audio on my system does not work on either VM VBox 1.6.0. It reports that it cannot find any compatible device. It also complains about the UART device, although I don't have Serial Ports enabled. Also does anyone know how to tell VBoxSvr what host name to use with each VM?
    Fri. 27 June 2008
    I was able to install Solaris10u5 (05/2008) on VMware Server using 684MB of RAM and 20GB HDD. I did not have the tools addition for Solaris, I'm not even sure if there is such an animal, so I had to "Scroll the desktop" to maneuver around. I then tried it again on VirtualBox 1.6.2, got through the initial install setting RAM to 684MB, default Video no Serial ports or USB, although parts were painfully slow. I was not able to do the first reboot, it just sat there saying that it was doing system initialization and the indicator just kept on going back and forth. After about 20 min. I shutoff the VM giving up. Also I still can't get sound to work on either the older Solaris10 or OpenSolaris. In OpenSolaris the DDU indicates that 2 drivers are missing;
    Audio; Intel 82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller
    Other; ACPI AC Device
    Anyone know if and when VBox or OpenSolaris will have these drivers?

  • Installing ArchLinx+Guest Additions in Virtual Box(error during guest)

    The Arch Linux install seemed to go through smoothly.  I installed it using the wiki page, rebooted, and logged in as root.  I am installing this for a class, so trying to follow the instructions to do so.  Next, we are supposed to install 'Guest Additions' for Virtual box using the instructions below:
    Now, you should install "Guest Additions" for VirtualBox. Guest additions allows you to share files between host and guest systems. This is very convenient for development as you will need to copy files back and forth between the host and guest operating systems. You can download Guest Additions at *link*.
         You need to start the virtual machine before you can continue installing Guest Additions. To do that, just select your VM name from the list on the left hand side in VirtualBox and click Start. After logging into Arch Linux, you should mount this ISO image just as you had mounted the Arch Linux ISO file. You can then mount the cdrom inside the Guest OS by doing:
    mkdir /mnt/cdrom
    mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom
    Now install the guest additions by doing:
    cd /mnt/cdrom
    sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
    This will compile and install the kernel modules necessary for Guest Additions functionality. Please note that if you
    recompile your own kernel (later as a part of project requirements), you will have to run this again so that the modules are
    compiled and installed for the new kernel too.
    Under settings for VBox, I mounted the Guest Additions image file, started Arch Linux, logged in as root, and followed the instructions above.  I was able to do all of the above, but when I excute the last line, I am given this message:
    http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3971/linuxd.png
    I have no idea where to go from here, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Also,  I feel like I have installed Arch Linux incorrectly.  All the videos and pictures I see show a GUI type interface, but all I am presented with is a text-based interface.  When I boot it up, it asks me to log in, and I am then taken to the command line, but I don't see the same GUI interface everyone else seems to have.  Is this normal for a basic Arch Linux install?  Thanks in advance.

    Arch has no GUI until you install one. Some people don't want a GUI, so it's left to the user. The base install has only a command line interface.
    You should probably read the Beginners Guide.
    In case you missed them, there's two short articles, also on the wiki that might help you understand Arch, Arch Linux and The Arch Way

  • LWA Guest Access with ISE and WLC

    Hi guys,
    Our Company try to implement Guest Access with ISE dan WLC with Local Web Auth Method. But there is problem that comes up with the certificate. This is the scenario :
    1. Guests try to connect wifi with SSID Guest
    2. Once it connect, guests open the browser and try to open a webpage (example: cisco.com)
    3. Because, guests didn't login, so it redirect to "ISE Guest Login Page" (url became :
    https://ise-hostname:8443/guestportal/Login.action?switch_url=https://1.1.1.1/login.html&wlan=Guest&redirect=www.cisco.com/
    4. If there is no ISE Guest Login Page installed, message Untrusted Connection message will appear, but it will be fine if they "Add Exception and install the certificate"
    5. After that the Guest Login Page will appear, and guests input their username and password.
    6. Login success and they will be redirected to www.cisco.com and there is pop up from 1.1.1.1 (WLC Virtual Interface IP) with logout button.
    The problem happen in scenario 6, after login success, the webpage with ISE IP address and message certificate error for 1.1.1.1 is appear.
    I know it happened when guests didn't have the WLC Login Page Certificate...
    My Question is, is there a way to tunneling WLC Certificate on ISE ? Or what can we do to make ISE validate WLC Certificate, so guests doesn't need to install WLC Certificate/ Root Certificate before connect to Wifi ?
    Thx 4 your answer and sorry for my bad English....

    Thx for your reply Peter, your solution is right,
    i don't choose CWA, because their DNS is not stable...
    i've found the problem...
    the third-party CA is revoked, so there is no way it will success until it fixed...
    and there is no guarantee, they will fix it soon..
    so solution that we choose is by disable "HTTPS" on WLC...
    "config network web-auth secureweb disable".
    "config network web-auth secureweb disable".
    "config network web-auth secureweb disable".
    "config network web-auth secureweb disable".
    "config network web-auth secureweb disable"
    thank you all...

  • Installation as guest OS on Virtual Box

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Oracle Enterprise Linux and am trying to use the same as guest OS in Virtual Box on Windows Vista. While I managed to complete the installation successfully, I am not able to use it. When I power on the virtual machine and enter my username and password, it only displays a blank screen and nothing happens.
    Can you help me out with this please ?

    frits hoogland wrote:
    As advised previously, run system-config-display. Another way to modify the screen resolution is to modify it directly in the X settings. But please try system-config-display.Thanks for your reply. I tried modifying the display resolutions from "System->Preference->Screen Resolution", but the only options available there are "800x600" and "640x320". Incidently, when checked in "System->Administration->Display" window, the video card is shown as "Unknow Video Card". Selecting any of the video cards from "Configure..." button does not help either.
    I am not used to Linux and hence am trying to do things using GUI interface. Please let me know if I have to use text mode to do something that can not be achieved in GUI mode.

  • New to Solaris...need help with netra T1

    I want to learn a form of Unix and thought Solaris would be a good place to start. I purchased a netra T1 in a package deal with some other equipment and am having a learning experience. The box came with Solaris 9, currently running 5.8. I can get the LOM interface up...I can get to the lom> prompt and the $ prompt but can't get any commands suggested by the install manual to work. The Netra T1 has a CDROM so I am trying the boot cdrom command...following is the sequence of events:
    $boot cdrom
    boot: not found
    Any suggestions or links to documentation is appreciated.
    Brittan

    On the Netra you have three levels - lom (Lights out managment) is the 'bottom' level. From here you can control power to the box, etc
    The next level is the OBP (Open Boot Prom) - This is the one you need to be at in order to do your boot cdrom
    The top level is the OS running - if you've got a $ prompt, then chances are you're logged in as someone other than root on the server with the OS running.
    To get to the OBP you'll want to be root. Assuming you know the root password type su -
    supply the root password when prompted. Your $ will now change to a # this indicates you are now the superuser (root).
    Now you can issue commands such as shutdown, halt, etc
    shutdown -g0 -y -i0 (those are both zero) will tidy shutdown the box to the OBP
    alternatively, if you're going to reinstall the OS anyway, you don't really care about a tidy shutdown and halt will do the trick
    you're now at the OBP prompt ( ok> )
    from here you can type boot cdrom
    cdrom is an alias setup on the system and should be set to point to the CDROM device on your Netra

    This process does not appear to work for me.  I'm running 10.8.3.  I created a new user for a guest staying with me.  They have gone now and I am attempting to either change the password or delete the user.  It won't allow me to choose the user I created.  I am logged in as myself and it states that I am an "Admin".  The user I'm attempting to change is listed as a "standard" user and there is a white checkmark inside an orange circular background on the user pic in the list of users. 
    Can someone help me?  I am having a hard time believing that OSx will allow me to create users and allow them use of my computer and it's drives, yet it will not allow me to change the password so I can monitor what they might have been doing while logged on?  What if this were my child?  This guest left under sketchy circumstances, and I'd really like to be able to ensure they were not using my computer to do illegal things or to have illegal communications.
    Any help would be appreciated.  (It's odd that it was so simple to "create" a user and set a password for them.......but it's complicated or a little known process to reverse.
    Thanks.

    Here are two screen shots to show you what I am seeing.  The first screen shot shows it allowing me to select (highlighted in blue) my admin user (which is what I am locced in as).  The second screen shot shows it allowing me to select the "Guest" user (highlighted in blue).  However when I click on the user "Orion" nothing happens.  It will not change to highlight that user.

  • Installing windows XP using discs supplied with virtual PC

    I am currently running Windows XP Home in Virtual PC under 10.3.9 in a powerbook G4. I want to upgrade to a new Macbook for Christmas.

    Hi Rob,
    it is indeed technically possible to use the Windows XP from Virtual PC.
    See here for procedure: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060527175405403
    But keep in mind that the Windows License does not allow you to use one Windows XP on two or more computers.
    And because of the Activation Process of XP they will find out...
    Good Luck

    Hi,
    I'm having lot of issues with virtual machines (both Parallels and VMWare)
    since having update to lion 10.7.4.
    I make myself:
    If I switch on Mac OS a run any vitrual machine software
    I can run Windows XP and Ubuntu at same time with no issue and very fluently.
    But, if I switch on Mac OS and start using Eclipse, Safari 5.2 and other production stuff and
    want to use vmware or paralles
    they become unusable even if I quit all the tasks ans "purge" memory.
    (eg: if i click start button on windows I have to wait seconds before the start menu pops up)
    Any Idea?
    I have MacBook Pro 13 Unibody mid 2009 with SSD Drive AND 4GB of RAM
    and I had no such issues with Lion 10.7.3

    No, it wouldn't. 2.5 GB of free RAM could consist of 5 chunks of 500 MB of contiguous RAM, separated by RAM allocated by other processes.
    Here is a hypothetical memory map. Assume a is application memory, o is operating system memory, and - is free memory.
    boot:           oooo--------------
    run app1:    ooooaao-----------
    run app2:    ooooaaoaaaaaaoo---quit app1:   oooo---aaaaaaoo---
    Maybe there is some issue in the way 10.7.4, in some perticolar situations, handle the process of freeing RAM.
    What you can't accept, and I don't know why, is that before the update to 10.7.4 everithing was fine.
    I don't know why you don't beleve me.
    There is nothing in the 10.7.4 update description that mentions a re-write of the virtual memory system. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5167
    I just worte here to see if someone could give any advice to do further invesigations.
    I know the price of upgrading RAM but I think that this would be a "microsoft like" solution
    and I'm trying to find what service or task or whatever is creating this issue.
    The only thing "Microsoft like" about buying more RAM is the fact that you need it to run your Microsoft operating systems. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I upgraded my MacBook to 4 GB RAM in 2008 just so I could run Windows more easily.
    Perhaps you have your virtual memory settings too high. Depending on what you are doing in the VM, you may not need the default settings. XP will run low-intensity tasks with a 500 MB VM size. It will run just about anything in 1 GB. Linux should run fine in the same range too.
