Solaris Express 11 and Mac compatibility

Hi all,
I would want to use Solaris with my Mac so I tried to boot on the DVD and install the Developer version, the Mac boot on it correctly and started to install Solaris. But I have a problem with the screen (APPLE 23' with a NVidia 7300GT) when it wants to switch in the window mode, my screen freeze and the system returns to the console mode...
I tried with another screen (samsung 17') and the installation in a window mode worked !
So the problem is the compatibility with the screeen or my graphic card ? (it seems that the 7300GT is not yet supported, it doesn't appear in the listed supported devices report)
how can I do to work with my Apple screen with the high resolution (1920*1200) ?
thanks a lot...

Cindy,
Thanks for the quick reply. If I'm understanding correctly, the SCSI unmap command was implemented in last November's Solaris 11.1 release but has since been disabled due to performance problems. I'm running the original November release with no updates so can I assume that SCSI unmap is enabled on my system? If so, do I run any risk of data corruption by staying with my current version? I'm currently running Solaris 11.1 from a SATA SSD.

You are still in the middle of an active forum thread

He (Senior Member) pointed me to another link, which is this :

Network Attached Storage Recommendation for PC and Mac compatability

Hi Everyone,
I am about to purchase a MacBook and am looking to also by an NAS drive on which I can store all of my music (and maybe my movies as well). I want to be able to store and retrieve files from both my windows machine and the mac.
I have been researching the drives and can't decide whether to go with a LaCie, Maxtor, or Western Digital. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also, I am not clear on how I would be able to store both Windows and Mac Files on an NAS but I have gathered that it should be no problem to do this. Can anybody here explain this to me? My goal is to have one partition on this drive so that I have a central media library.
Thanks for any input. These forums have been a great source of information for making the decision to buy a mac.

(I am posting this in multiple places in hopes of getting a response.)

You might want to look into the ReadyNAS from Infrant:
http://infrant.com/
The models have essentially the same features in different form factors. It's more expensive than a bare bones NAS, but it's very capable. Briefly:
-- you can use 1-4 drives, for massive capacity
-- it implements RAID 5 in hardware, allowing you to get redundancy without much wasted space. Other NAS that provide RAID 5 generally do it in software which is really too slow to be usable
-- provides smb, afp, ftp, http access, will work with pretty much any OS
-- when using their proprietary X-RAID you can sequentially replace disks with larger ones (allowing a rebuild in between) and when you are done the extra space is automatically incorporated into the volume
It's really a very capable unit, allowing you to have massive space and redundancy at home for storage, backup, etc.... You can get going with only two drives and then add more as you need the space/have the money (X-RAID automatically moves from RAID 1 to RAID 5 as you have extra drives).
They also have a very active user forum, so you can get a good view of how it works and hear from the developers directly.
Good luck.

Airport Express and Mac pro without Aiport Extreme

Hi
I'm connected to my neighbors router normally on my macbook pro. Now I've bought a mac pro without airport and I've got this old Express which I've been told to work with my mac pro.
I've tried the Airport Utility to route the neighbors signal to my Airport express. After I've entered the password to the original network the airport reboots and doesn't show anywhere.
The mac pro says that I can't get connection to the net and in "system prefs" I hasn't got any IP or connection on the ethernet ports.
I'm using leopard BTW.

Is your neighbor's wireless router another AirPort or Time Capsule? If not, you will not be able to configure both routers for a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). This would be required to enable the AirPort Express Base Station's (AX) Ethernet port for your Mac Pro.

Windows and Mac Compatibility Possible?? Geek needed!

Ok, if my friend has an iPod (5th Generation) reformatted for Windows, can she hook it up to my Mac and put stuff on it from there my iTunes library?? And if not, is there any possible way to do so, any type of software?? Just anyway to get around this would be much appreiciated....

Airport Express and Mac G4

I have an old G4 and am trying to use Airport Express but having no luck. Just continues to be solid amber.
Am I missing additional equipment so this is an older unit?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Chances are pretty good that your local Apple Store will not stock these cards as they stopped manufacturing them some time ago. Although you can find these by doing a bit of Internet searching, I would recommend that you consider just getting a newer wireless USB adapter that support both 802.11n Wi-Fi and WPA2 wireless security. A number of vendors provide these. One example can be found at Other World Computing (OWC).

N80 and Mac compatability

I'm just about to get a N80 hopefully.
But does it isync with a Mac?
I want to sync it to my calender. To my contacts would be cool too, but not essential.
Can it hook up over the bluetooth link?
What can it do with a Mac? Or can it not do anything?

Panic yea NOT!
Yes it can do all of the above and more...
In its current guise & the current SW of 10.4.6 it will NOT Isync immediately...
It will with new OS release due shortly, or if you peruse the KB at apple.com it explains wot simple mods can be done if you are desperate to get it up and working immediately.
It will sync with both Ical and entourage either or both and also with address book (mac)
You currently can browse and "get" from your handset & "send" files from your mac by pairing it via bluetooth.
I currently have mine linked to my WLAN as well and am awaiting the plugin for skypee for its use as a cordless voip handset too.

CSS Expressions and IE8 compatibility

CSS Expressions have been removed from IE8. This is one feature that our app uses to render a table with a fixed left column
. So the first column of teh table is fixed even though the rest of the columnes scrolls as the table has many columns.
Any suggestion for a work around , without CSS expression will be helpful.

The jump you are seeing is when you move from a short page to a long page (or vice versa)
Add the following rule to your stylesheet or in the head of your documents:
html { overflow-y:scroll; }
This will take care of the jumping by forcing all pages to have a 'gutter' where the vertical scrollbar would be, even if they don't require a vertical scrollbar.

Solaris 10 vs Solaris Express

Hi,
I'm a newbie here. My basic question follows: what is the difference between Solaris and Open Solaris(Solaris Express)? Which of them would you suggest for building a java development environment?
Thx.
gigo

Actually there are actually 3 versions. Solaris 10, Solaris express and open solaris.
Solaris 10 is the production version.
Solaris express is snapshots of the solaris 11 development work.
Theres also solaris express developer environment (SXDE) which is solaris express with the developer tools preinstalled.
Open solaris is the community project where the real development takes place.
As a development environment I would probably recommend going with SXDE but if your apps are going to be deployed in production on solaris 10 boxes, you probably need a solaris 10 box for deployment testing..

E90 and Mac

I'm planning to buy an E90, so I'd like to know WHAT I could sync: AddressBook, iCal, Mail, Entourage or anything else?
I know Nokia's E90 plugin, are there other iSync plugins for the E90?
Can anybody tell my experiences about E90 and Mac compatibility?
Thanks!

Solaris 9 NFS clients and Mac OS X 10.3.8 NFS Server issues

I have a situation where I'm using a Mac OS X Server machine as my file server for heterogeneous mix of clients, Solaris 9 being one of them. The NFS server portion of Mac OS X seems to have some quirks. I made the move to a Mac OS X server from a combination of Linux and Solaris because it was touted as a good multi-platform server solution, but my NFS woes are souring my opinion of it
I haven't been able to nail down the exact cause, but it seems that Sun's Gnome Destop 2.0 has problems starting up. The 'gconfd-2' process starts and never finishes what it's doing. I'm suspecting a problem with creating a lock file in the user's NFS mounted home directory. My workaround was to disable the Gnome Desktop 2.0 option, but it isn't very pleasant because many of my users liked it.
Another strange issue that plagues the Solaris 9 and Linux (Fedora 2) users is that Mozilla, which is the primary email client for my users, complains that it "Could not initialize the browser's security component." It goes on to suggest that there may be a problem with read / write access with the user's profile directory or that there's no more room. Googling didn't turn up much about this problem, but the home directory share is nowhere near full and the permissions are such that eveyone can read and write to their own profile directory just fine. I've been able to work around this problem on Linux by removing the user's 'cert8.db' and 'key3.db' files before they run Mozilla, but this technique is failing to work on the Solaris 9 clients.
All these problems seem to involve some strange file access issue, and the Linux and Solaris clients had no problems when I was using a Solaris box for home directory sharing via NFS, so it definitely seems like a problem with Mac OS X's NFS implementation.
If anyone has come across this type of issue and has some information about a fix or a better workaround, I would love to hear from you. Thanks in advance!

I just figured out today that the Gnome Desktop 2.0 problem is due to some part of Gnome not liking really long home directory paths. Mac OS X by default dictates that home directories be of the form /Network/Servers/(fqdn of file server)/Volumes/(volume name)(home directory share path), for example, /Network/Servers/xxx.myschool.edu/Volumes/Homes/userx. I haven't figured out what in Gnome doesn't like it, but it appears to be the gconf mechanism.
The Mozilla strangeness still is happening though.

Solaris Express Zone install error with SUNWiiimr and SUNWcnetr

Hi all,
I got these errors when installing a new zone on a Solaris Express 1/08 (5.11) on a x64 box:
Installation of these packages generated errors: SUNWiiimr
Installation of these packages generated warnings: SUNWcnetr
The zone creation log shows:
*** package -SUNWiiimr- failed to install with fatal errors:

-newzone- was configured to be a whole root zone. Are there any ways to solve these installation errors?
Thanks in advance.

This problem seems some strange - this time with Solaris 10u4, from 10 containers installed on a brand new X2200 (2x cpu) only one do not output those errors, but just this one cannot install the dsee or proxy. This time the errors were from:
Installation of <SUNWxwplr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWdtdmr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWmconr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWrmwbr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWlvmr> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
Installation of <SUNWzebrar> on zone <dsee-proxy> partially failed.
So the machine was, too, just installed. After several hours, anoter atempt to install a zone, this time just this one, returned no errors - and the dsee installed without any complains. All configurations were for whole root zones. Used was Solaris 10u4 with the most recent patch cluster applied.
