Solaris Developer Edition Install / Other (many problems, need help!).

I've tried installing Solaris on two different desktops (1GB ram, 3-year old processors), one Dell PowerEdge 2650 server (1GB Ram, 2800 MHZ processor), and a brand new, three month old Dell laptop (Pentium Dual-Core, 2 GB RAM).
The server install appears to have worked fine at first. However.... it will often just freeze up after having been running awhile. I've never seen it do this while I am actively working with it, but if I leave it on overnight, it will always be unresponsive the next morning. Besides the inability to get a monitor output, even a SSH terminal remoted into it will stop taking commands (no error message). This has quite stumped me. It should not be an issue with memory to my knowledge - on a custom install for it, I gave it 14 GB for swap space.
The two older desktops I tried it on had negative results. The first I don't have to worry about it dying overnight - it does that quite well throughout the day. Basically.... GNOME keeps throwing exceptions throughout the day using the desktop, and I am theorizing the system is not powerful enough to run the operating system.
The second..... doesn't even get it installed. It can run the latest Ubuntu without problem (what it was running previously), but the install fails on the machine. The first sign of something being wrong is that it hits 69% installation complete in two hours.... then slows to a snail's pace. Two days later, it finishes the install and states that it failed and cannot run in default configuration. Looking over the log from the details button didn't really show me what happened, and it would not load upon reboot.
The laptop fairs even worse. I select to install "Solaris Express", it does the dot loading screen, prints out "Solaris OS 5.11 Version snv_70b <clipped> Use is subject to license terms.", and then..... stops. It won't go any further in the installation process.
While this is a great deal to read, I am hoping for help with a best plan of action (ie. I'd be happy if one of the four would work). Basically..... any suggestions on how to solve any of the problems listed above, or any theories as to what the problem might be. Thanks in advance!

looks like someone made their homework prior to posting
the amps on the psu is okay but you didnt supply 5v but that should not be a problem
Quote
strip 2+0, 400099m, functional.
sounds wrong.
never heard of 2+0.
do you got any harddrive connected to ide3 ?
if not then delete all arrays and then create 1 array.
raid 0 for performance.
raid 1 for security.
size 16kb and try again.

Fresh solaris 10 x86 install patch update problems 119060-17 ...

Just yesterday, i installed a fresh Solaris 10 x86 onto some pc hardware. After getting solaris installed and issues with my network card, i downloaded and installed the free version of the update manager 1.0.x. Next, i proceeded to update all the general patches for the solaris 10 system. I started with the command 'pprosvc -i' from a terminal. It then proceeded to download and validate a bunch of patches successfully until it hit the following 3 patches:
119060-17 ---- X11 6.6.2_x86: Xsun patch
122213-10 ---- GNOME 2.6.0_x86: GNOME Desktop Patch
122912-02 ---- SunOS 5.10_x86: Apache 1.3 Patch
All 3 failed some kind of validation and then crashed the pprosvc program, at which point it exited with the following error:
122912-02 cannot be validated
119060-17 cannot be validated
122912-02 cannot be validated
Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digital signature(s).
I also tried to use the GUI Update Manager to update, hoping the problem was isolated to pprosvc, but that problem was also in the GUI with a similar error message:
Error occurred...The detailed error message is: Unexpected Failure: java.lang.Throwable: ERROR: Failed to validate the digitial signature(s)
Anyone know why Sun's update patch process is so troublesome?
Getting Tired of Solaris Updates...
I should mention that this is the free solaris 10 x86 install and i don't have a service contract with Sun. If this problem persists, i don't think i'll get one, as i see only further problems after buying one.
tired and confused

Hi,
There is an issue with this that is currently being investigated. There is another thread that may shed some light on what is happening here;
http://forum.sun.com/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=316
Thread title is : Sun UC, Digitally Signed Patches Using New Verisign Certificates
In the short-term please ensure that the patch mentioned in it is installed.
To quote part of mentioned thread above:
"Once the Sun Update Connection client software is upgraded with patch 121118-06 (SPARC) or 121119-06 (x86/x64) or later revisions normal behavior will resume. "
If this fails to resolve your problem, would you be kind enough to post the output of the following command for analysis please;
# showrev -p | egrep -e '121454|121119|120336|121082|121564|122232|119789'

Zen Micro problem need help

Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.

If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

Another Infinite Login Loop Problem - need help badly

Hello. I need help.
When I start up my iMac (24 inch last generation model) I can't log into the OS. When I enter my password I see the default OS wallpaper (nothing else) then it kicks me to a blue screen then right back to the login. Same thing over and over. I've already ran disk utility off of the install CD to repair permissions, etc... but no luck. This even happens when I enter into safe mode. I'm running the latest version of the OS.
Can anyone help me?

Restore the bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup. Without one, you have a difficult situation. First thing to try is boot with your install disc, run Disk Utility, and repair the disk.

Adobe reader updater is ready to install but won't -- need help

adobe reader updater is ready to install but gets stuck on step 2 -- need help

It's OK. I finally got Reader XI installed. But once installed, the program would then lock up and show an error message whenever I tried to open any of my existing PDF docs. So I finally just gave up and deleted Reader XI from my system. Fortunately, my existing version of Reader seems to work just fine. Maybe I'll try again later after Adobe has worked out the kinks with Reader XI. But thanks anyway for responding--no further help needed now. I'm out.

Still stuck with the same old producer consumer weight problem need help

Hello All,
This is the problem I am stuck with right now.
I have two array lists one producer array list and one consumer array list denoted by a and b
P1 P2 P3 P4 P5
5 6 7 8 9
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5
2 3 4 5 6
Now we find all those producer consumer pairs which satisfy the criteria Pi>=Ci
We have the following sets
(5,2)(6,2)(7,2),(8,2),(9,2)
(5,3)(6,3)(7,3),(8,3),(9,3)
(5,4)(6,4)(7,4),(8,4),(9,4)
(5,5)(6,5)(7,5),(8,5),(9,5)
(6,6)(7,6)(8,6),(9,6)
Let us done each of them with Si
so we have S1,S2,S3,S4,S5
we assign a third parameter called weight to each element in Si which has satisfied the condition Pi>=Ci;
so we we will have
(5,2,ai),(6,2,bi),(7,2,ci)....etc for S1
similarly for S2 and so on.
We need to find in each set Si the the pair which has the smallest weight.
if we have (5,2,3) and (6,2,4) then 5,2,3 should be chosen.We should make sure that there is only one pair in every set which is finally chosen on the basis of weight.
Suppose we get a pair (5,2,3) in S1 and (5,2,3) in S2 we should see that (5,2,3) is not used to compare to compare with any other elements in the same set S2,
Finally we should arrive at the best element pair in each set.They should be non repeating in other sets.
Given a problem
P0 P1 P2 P3 P4
9 5 2 2 8
6 5 4 5 3
C0 C1 C2 C3 C4
we have So as (P0,C0) and (P4,C0)
assuming that the one with the smaller index has lesser weight PO is selected.In the program I have used random weights.from set S1 we select the pair PO,CO
S1 =(P0,C1),(P1,C1) and (P4,C1)
since P0 and P4 are already used in previous set we dont use them for checking in S1 so we have (P1,C1) as best.
S2=(P0,C2),(P1,C2) and (P4,C2) so we dont use P0,C2 and P1 and C2 because PO and P1 are already used in S1.
So we choose P4,C2
in S3 and S4 ae have (P0,C3),(P1,C3),(P4,C3) so we dont choose anything
and same in S4 also.
So answer is
(P0,C0),(P1,C1) and (P4,C2).
My program is trying to assign weights and I am trying to print the weights along with the sets.It doesnt work fine.I need help to write this program to do this.
Thanks.
Regards.
NP

In your example you selected the pair with the greatest
distance from the first set, and the pair with the least
distance from the second. I don't see how the distance
function was used.
Also it's not clear to me that there is always a solution,
and, if there is, whether consistently choosing the
furthest or the closest pairs will always work.
The most obvious approach is to systematically try
all possibilities until the answer is reached, or there
are no possibilities left. This means backtracking whenever
a point is reached where you cannot continue. In this case
backtrack one step and try another possibility at this
step. After all possible choices of the previous step,
backtrack one more step and so on.
This seems rather involved, and it probably is.
Interestingly, if you know Prolog, it is ridiculously
easy because Prolog does all the backtracking for you.
In Java, you can implement the algorithm in much the same
way as Prolog implementations do it--keep a list of all the
choice points and work through them until success or there
are none left.
If you do know Prolog, you could generate lots of random
problems and see if there is always a solution.

Installing Quicktime...need help

How do i install quicktime 7 pro for my windows XP? the directions that i got from apple don't make sense to me. i need help asap.

Once you've downloaded and installed QuickTime 7 you only need to enter your registration information exactly as it is in the confirmation email in the QuickTime Registration fields.
Nothing else to download or install. It's best to use copy/paste from the email to the registration.

Ipod problem NEED HELP ASAP

Hello guys,my ipod touch has battery problems and internal speaker are not working and will apple replace me a new one,i even have 1 year warranty and i want a new ipod touch white instead of black<<<plz plz plz reply ASAP plz really need HELP!THANK YOU

If you iPod is defective, in warranty and not abused Apple will replace it with a refurbished one. They may or may not replace it with the white one. You will have to ask.
Other users have asked the same question but I hav never heard them come back with whether or not they go the color changed.

Urgent Problem, need help asap.

Hello everyone,
I'm sorry for the alarmist title, but I need help and I need it badly. Just last night, my macbook froze with nothing working. The mouse froze, the interrupt keys didn't work, nothing. I shut down the laptop, and tried to restart. I noticed a clicking sound coming from the lower left hand corner of the macbook. I'm assuming this is the hard drive.
What happens is that there will be two clicks happening in a rythmic fashion, and after 15 second of booting up, a folder will appear with a question mark on the screen. The only thing I can do is power it down. Can someone please describe what is happening and make suggestions?
The kicker is that I'm a college student studying in Denmark for the semester. The laptop is my only lifeline to back home. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.
Matt

You may have a disk failure or simply corrupted files. If you have a bootable backup that is working, then you can boot from it, erase your hard drive, then restore your backup. If not then do this:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
If the drive is OK then you can reinstall OS X:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

New ipod passcode locked out. tried other steps still need help please

Hi passcode locked out of daughters new ipod. we backed up on computer this morning or rather it automatically backed up when plugged into itunes as directed from other posts i was reading. Then I tried to restore but it said I needed to turn off "find my ipod" which I cant because I need the passcode to get to settings. I then tried the home button power off but when i get to itunes restore ipod it tells me I need passcode. pleae help what step am I missing? go s l o w l y please I am new to mac after 20 years on pc and need help in steps that are not intuitive to me.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
