Solaris Express Developer Edition + Apple Airport Extreme

I just installed Solaris Express Develper Edition without any problems, but I can't seem to get my wireless connection up and running. I use an Apple Airport Extreme and while my MacBook with Mac OS X and my Xubuntu machine have no problems connecting to the internet through the Airport, my Solaris says he can't connect.
I allready disabled the Auto-magic stuff so I can setup the connection manually. I did it with the following two commands:
svcadm disable svc:/network/physical:nwam
svcadm enable svc:/network/physical:default
The wireless interface ath0 can detect all the available networks (including mine), so it works.
My Airport uses WPA/WPA2 Personal and DHCP.
In the Network settings of Solaris I've set the properties of the wireless ath0 interface as follows:
* enable this connection
* activate on boot
* network name (ESSID): my network is detected and I can select it from the dropdown list of available networks
* Key Type: Plain (ASCII)
* WEP key: my WEP key (the thing I filled in as WPA/WPA2 Personal on my airport)
* Connection settings Configuration: DHCP
I click OK and then try to activate the ath0 interface, but it doesn't work. The message is:
"Could noet enable the interface ath0
Check that the settings are correct for this network and that the computer is correctly connected to it".
Which is frustrating, because as far as I know, the settings are correct (ESSID, WEP, ...) and the computer is correctly connected as it can detect all the available wifi networks in my area.
Does anybody have any idea? Thnx in advace,
Nico

I just use sys-unconfig and select DHCP and off it goes.

A problem logging in in Solaris Express Developer Edition 05/07

Hi all.
I just upgraded Solaris 10 11/06 to Solaris Express Developer Edition 05/07 on a Sun Ultra 20 M2 and a strange problem arose: after root has logged in in a Gnome session, then when another user tries to log in in Gnome everything slows down: the login screen with "Window manager" takes some 20 secs to go away and then "Panel" sticks there... The only option is killing X with ctrl+alt+backspce. This only happens if root logs in with Gnome, and not in CDE. If root doesn't log in, nothing strange happens ever.
The problem seems unrelated with the user that logs in:
- existing users which could login in Solaris 10 11/06 now have this problem
- new users have this problem too...
Rebooting the machine and never logging in to Gnome with root "solves" the problem.
Has anyone ever had this problem?
Can be a problem relating to upgrading?
Thanks,
Enrico.

You should probably direct SXDE queries to the forums at http://opensolaris.org, more chance of a response from the JDS developers there.

Solaris Express Developer Edition, free DVD kit

Today I ordered the "Free Solaris Express Developer Edition DVD":
"For a limited time, Sun is offering a Solaris Express Developer Edition DVD for x86 platforms mailed to you at no charge." (http://developers.sun.com/sxde/download.jsp)
Will I get the new 9/07 version or an older one? When I ordered Solaris 10 some time ago, Sun sent me version 11/06.
Thanks!

Well, it looks like this version of Solaris simply forgot to bundle the FLAC gstreamer plugin. Does anyone know where to find a version compiled for solaris?

Help me in Installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition X 86

Hi,
Help me in installing Solaris Express, Developer Edition
When i am trying to install Solaris, system hangs and the moniter is switcher off when the system goes in GUI mode.
i have intel 945GTP mother board with as on board Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Drives , Chipset -> Intle 945G , 160 SATA Hard Disk, 1 GB DDR2 Ram , P4 3.Ghz Processer , on board Intel PRO/100 VE Network Card.
Please,Help me.
Thanking you,

Hello,
first of all: Try to run the HCTS (Hardware
Compatibility Test Suite) first, it's available
here:
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/hcts/device_detect.htm
l
This you can run from Windows, and it will list all
hardware that has drivers, and all those, that do not
have drivers (including some public domain drivers).
After that, you have the possibility to install
Solaris WITHOUT a GUI, use one of the two "terminal"
modes. The first Is still a GUI, as it only starts X
and opens a terminal, in which then the installer
runs. The second does NOT start X, but runs the
installer on the console. Try this one, and once you
get through that, you can afterwards figure out the
settings of the Xserver.Hi ,
i have installed the solaris using console.
Still GUI is not starting, the moniter is switched off when GUI gets started
I used Hardware Compatibility Test Suite, its say that system is supported
by Solaris.
Should i have change BIOS setting to stated the system
Bye

If your version of Solaris is not supported, see the support matrix, you are on your own. This is likely the case.

Differences between Soalris and Solaris Express /Developer Edition

Hi
Thank you for readingn my post
What is different between Solaris Express (Developer Edition) and solaris OS?
Are they the same and with same capabilities?
Can I install S1 Grid suite in a Express edition?
Thanks

Solaris 10 (with several updates) is the current release version of the Solaris operating system.
Since the release in '05, Sun has been developing the "next" version of Solaris. Using the OpenSolaris code as a base, this version is codenamed "Nevada". Periodic builds of this version are available as Solaris Express. So you get more up-to-date drivers, features, and bugs from it. Because it's under development, there are no patches. Instead you'd need to upgrade to the next release (or create your own patch).
I haven't looked specifically at S1 Grid, so it very likely will install. However installations on Solaris Express may not be a supported configuration if you need that.

Solaris Express , Developer Edition as a linux alternative

Hi Folks,
there is no doubt that Solaris began shining lately . I'm thinking to install it on my laptop as an alternative to linux to develop web applications .
some issues are bothering my a lot, I'll name them to you ,so we can decide together :
1. ruby official website does not provide a solaris package, how to develop Rails websites then ?
2. Mono has no official package for x86 machines running solaris , only Solaris 8 (Sparc) is supported .
I'm very interested in Solaris, especially Developer edition , eager to start to installing it !
what do you think ?

I think I hope it installs, especially on a laptop system. It failes to install on every desktop system here, I wouldn't dare put it in my laptop and see what it says. Laptops usually have a more esoteric hardware configuration than desktop systems.
For you I really don't see the benefit of switching operating systems just to develop web applications. If you were a Java developer developing J2EE web applications then Solaris and it's integrated Java Enterprise system and first-rate developer tools would be a great change, but for Ruby on Rails and Mono - I don't see the point.
For Ruby there may be a package available, check the OpenSolaris website and see if it has been ported over (it most probably has been, but I haven't checked yet).
For Mono... I don't see the point in developing .NET web applications for Linux/Solaris, so I won't go there. Mono is a joke compared to Microsoft's .NET platform.

Solaris Express Developer Edition on Acer Aspire 9100

I did some research and it appears that the latest edition or Solaris Express will install and work on the Acer Aspire 9100. It is a turion with a nvidia chipset, atheros wireless and an nvidia 6100 graphics chip set. Does anyone have experience with this install.

Re research: You have tested Your hardware with Hardware_Detection_Tool? It seems to be more up to date than Install_Check. Install (or use already installed version) Windows, download this small tool and run it on-line (Internet connectionis necessary). Latest nevada version fills many gaps in previous releases.
Good luck!

Solaris Express Developer x86 -- only 64-bit?

Hi, people, glad to be back. Just downloaded Solaris Express Developer edition x86 and installed -- almost with no problems.
It's a system with Intel Celeron D with 64-bit and Hyper Threading support, DDR2 1Gb.
Now running Solaris I noticed it's a 64-bit version, not 32-bit, as I meant to have. The command `isainfo -n` gives back ... "amd64"!
Is there a 32-bit version of Solaris Express DE x86?
Or maybe I need not worry at all and keep running the 64-bit one (actually, I've got no problem as yet)?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

So, my system supports 64-bit computing after all. I
never thought about it, in fact.
But does it mean Solaris Express DE x86 runs as
64-bit on the systems supporting 64-bit, and as
32-bit on 32-bit-only systems?Yes, that's correct. Solaris 10 was the first version of Solaris to support 64 bit operation on the x86 architecture.
It and later versions (including Solaris Express DE x86) should automatically detect the architecture and run in that mode at boot time. There are some ways to force it to run in 32 bit mode only if necessary, but that would be unusual.

Solaris Express Developer Questions

Currently I am running Solaris Express Developer however i noticed there is no Subversion or CVS installed by default.
The version I am running is as follows.
bash-3.00$ uname -a
SunOS solaris-devx 5.11 snv_55b i86pc i386 i86pc
Any ideas if there is a newer version, and whether it has subversion and cvs installed by default?
Thanks

I have looked at the latest download for Solaris Express, Developer Edition 2/07 which is what I am running now.
I have connected the Sun Update Manager and I receive no updates.
Currently I am trying to use this as my development platform/workstation at work. Developing java applications seems to be well catered for however some sections of the desktop environment look a little rough.
I am having issues printing from Evince and Gimp, which seem to be using a different printing interface to other applications.
It seems that this "Developer Platform" may be a little green for use as a workstation without some proper update mechanisms...

TCP stalls often on Solaris Express Developer 02/07 on VMWare1.0.2 on WinXP

Hi there.
I got an older version of Solaris Express running fine on an amd box, and before upgrading to Solaris Express Developer edition 02/07, I wanted to try the new one out on vmware. Then I encountered some network wieredness. The IP stack seems to stall when I try to download big files.
Here is what I done:
installed Solaris Express Dev. on VMWare 1.0.2,
disabled DHCP with the GUI tool,
gave a static address
disabled IPV6 by deleting /etc/hostname6.pcn0
When I try some download from blastwave.org with pkg-get, the download goes on for about 10 seconds, then it stalls. Under that situation, ping doesn't reach my adsl modem and dig cannot resolve hostnames. The stall recovers after several minutes, runs for a while, then stalls again.
Is anyone experiencing anything similar ?
I have ubuntu linux successfully running on the same vmware server.

We are facing very similar (the same?) problem.
Does anyone have a solution to this?

HT3546 So i recently bought an Apple AirPort Extreme BaseStation (the mushroom shaped one) and was wondering if someone could tell me where and how to find a power cord and how to set it up with my Macintosh (2011 edition with 1.7.5) Thankyou! :)

Welcome!
Last question first, as we need to know what operating system that the Mac is using.
If you are not sure, click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then click About This Mac, and post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.
Two possible solutions on the power cord
ORIGINAL OEM APPLE AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION POWER SUPPLY AC ADAPTER A1202 if you want a white power supply and white power cord to match up with the Apple device
AC adapter for Apple AirPort A1034 Extreme B... if you don't care what color the supply and cord might be
If you don't already have a Setup Guide.....look here:

Airport express connection to extend airport extreme

Hi all,
Not sure if this is in the right forum, but any help appreciated. I'm using an Airport Extreme base station for wireless connection to a batch of PCs and Apple Macs. It works great, and hs no problems. I've just purchased the new Airport Express MC414X/A, with the intent to get wireless into a separate unit on my property, approx. 15 metres away, brick walls intervening. My intention was to run Ethernet from the base station to the Express so that I get a better output, the unit being 15 metres closer.
I'm unable to get the concept of how I configure the software to make this happen. I've looked at the Airport Utility graphics within the program, but can't work out how to get the Express connected and working. I'd appreciate any help/advice that can be offered; hopefully in layman terms, if possible.
TIA for any assistance.
Barrie

What version of OS X are you using? Also, many people get the airport express (AX) and the airport extreme (AE) mixed up. Are you using two airport extremes... (which is very good) or are you using one airport extreme and the one you just ordered is the new airport express (which is good)?
Also if you go to your Application Folder then your Utility Folder you should have at least one application called Airport Utility... what version of Airport Utility is this that you have (airport utility 5.6 or airportutility 6.x)? to locate what version go the About menu located in the menu bar under the menu category of Airport Utilyt located at the top of the screen, to the right of the apple logo.
