[Solved] Need 'make' command to install nic driver - can I d/l to usb?

I have a Linhes box running archlinux. The pc has a realtek driver that does not work. I have the updated driver that will work but as I have no internet access on the pc I need to install the driver from a usb stick. However, I cannot run the 'make' command because it is not installed. I cannot install anything from pacman because I have no internet access. So my question is can I download whatever I need (base-devel?) from another pc and install it through a usb stick so that I can then install the realtek driver?

Use the "Download from mirror" link on http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/i686/make/ (change the version to x86_64 if needed by following the link below "Download from mirror") and pacman -U that package on the destination pc.
Thanks, that looks like just what I need. Can you confirm that I do not extract the package, I just put it on to the usb and then as root pacman -U /path/to/package?

You might also be able to reinstall Lion without a flash drive, by booting up the computer holding the Command + R keys, and choosing Reinstall OS X.

Hi RDMDanielM,
Welcome to the Community!
We cannot install Adobe Bridge as a Standalone product, you can just reinstall Photoshop and Bridge will be reinstalled with it. Go ahead and start uninstalling CS5 suite but choose Photoshop from the list and the same will be applicable while Installation.

How to install NIC driver

I'm very new to Solaris and I need to install RealTek 8169 driver. How do I unzip and install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where did you get the driver? This page perhaps?
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
If so, here are the instructions for compiling and installing it:
1. Introduction
This is the Realtek RTL8169/8110 giga bit ethernt NIC driver for Solaris.
It is distributed under the BSD license.
2. Specification of the driver
File name of the driver: /kernel/drv/gani
Special file name: /dev/ganiN (Where N is a unit number, typcally 0 for first
card)
For example
% ifconfig gani0
RTL8169/8110 chipset dosn't support 1Gbpis half duplex mode.
Currently gani driver isn't stable on sparc platforms.
Tested OS version
Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 2800+ w/ VIA K8T800 chipset)
Solaris10 x86 3/05 (Athlon 3000+ w/ nVIDIA nForce4 CH8-04 Ultra chipset)
Tested cards
RTL8169s -- Planex Communications GN-1200TC
RTL8169s -- Corega CG-LAPCIGT
3. Preparing for installation
(1) Install your PCI card and boot Solaris.
(2) Copy source and binary files.
# gunzip -cd gani-x.x.x.tar.gz | tar xf -
(3) Add hostname for the NIC card into /etc/hosts file
(4) Make links to correct binary directory and Makefile according to your
configuration. i386 and gcc are default.
% cd /.../gani-x.x.x
% rm obj Makefile
% ln -s Makefile.${KARCH}_${COMPILER} Makefile
% ln -s ${KARCH} obj
where ${KARCH} is the result of `isainfo -n`, and ${COMPILER} is
"gcc" or "suncc" which you want to use to make the driver.
(5) Making binaries (only for sparc platform)
Gani driver is ready for 64bit and 32bit solaris8 10/00 sparc or
later. (But currently it is unstable on sparc platforms.)
This distribution does not include sparc binaries. To make the binaries,
you need Sun C compiler or gcc version 3, and do the following operations.
% /usr/ccs/bin/make
4. Testing
Testing before installation is strongly recommended.
# cd /.../gani-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
# ./adddrv.sh
# /usr/ccs/bin/make uninstall (for solaris7, don't remove the file )
# modload obj/gani
# devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r )
# ifconfig ganiN plumb ( where N is an instance number, typcally 0 for first card)
# ifconfig -a ( you will see an entry for ganiN)
# ifconfig ganiN YOUR-HOST-NAME
# ifconfig ganiN ( ensure IP address is correct)
# ifconfig ganiN up ( and then you can test with ping, telnet, ftp ...)
5. Installation
After you ensure that the gani driver is fully functional, install it.
(1) install the gani driver into the kernel directory
# cd /.../gani-x.x.x
# /usr/ccs/bin/make install
If you do not test the gani driver yet, execute the following commands:
# ./adddrv.sh
# devfsadm -i gani (for solaris7, use drvconfig and reboot with -r)
(2) Configure the network interface. Create and/or modify the following file:
/etc/hostname.ganiN
(3) Reboot the system.
# init 6

How to install NIC driver on Solaris 10?

I see the driver for my NIC, the D-Link DFE-530TX+ at this site
http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/
It talked about this NIC on choice #4, but how do I go about installing the driver rf-1.1.0.tar.gz on Solaris 10 x86 to make this NIC work? Thanks.

if it was choice number 4, then choose it.
other wise check out D-link site for unix/linux advice. maybe, I'm just a newbie myself.

[SOLVED] Need Some Tips on Solid State Drive

Hello everyone. I need a few tips on my solid state drive, to make sure I have everything configured correctly, and if there is anything I should change. I followed the Wiki, and took a lot of time to make it as perfect as I can, but I guess I need a little sanity check.
First, I followed the Wiki to align my SSD. Here is the output of fdisk -lu:
Disk /dev/sda: 256.1 GB, 256060514304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 31130 cylinders, total 500118192 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000d46a6
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 2048 206847 102400 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 206848 21178367 10485760 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda3 21178368 63121407 20971520 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 63121408 500117503 218498048 83 Linux
Is that aligned properly? I've heard that all you have to do is make the first partition start on cylinder 2048 but just want to be sure.
Second, I read in the Wiki to make /tmp mounted in RAM. Here is my fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1
/dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults,noatime,discard,user_xattr 0 1
none /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noatime,size=1000M,mode=1777 0 0
Does that look good, and/or should I add anything else to it?

Thank you for the response. I'll go ahead and mark this solved. I just needed a sanity check, and if you think it's fine, then I'm happy.
But if anyone has any other tips/tweaks, feel free to share them, as I'm making a new Clonezilla image on this laptop and wouldn't mind tweaking it a bit.

You need to use the computer's original disks or a retail Mac OS X 10.5.6 or earlier DVD which is at least as new as the computer. Another Mac's original disks won't work.

[SOLVED] need help with virtualbox install

I'm a relative n00b to Arch, haging migrated from Ubuntu (pha!!). Arch rocks!
However, my beloved virtualbox isnt playing ball!
After many hours of getting arch up and running I now need some assitance please with VirtualBox PEUL. I've googled and search these wikis and found:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
http://www.mail-archive.com/vbox-users% … 02889.html
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox
but, I dont know how to install.
I used yaourt (having spent another many hours trying to get to speed with what Arch AUR is and yaourt!!)
This is what I did:
1. Visited http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and followed PEUL instructions...
2. Click on AUR link and then click on PKGBUILD and it downloaded a PKGBUILD from here http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … s=0&SeB=nd
3. Then went back to the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VirtualBox and clicked on VirtualBox_1.5.6-1_Linux_x86.run and downloaded the file.
4. In accordance with the instructions on the wiki, I ran makepkg
HOWEVER, I get errors!!:

Hello!
Thanks a lot for this package :o)
Just a quick comment about where to copy the Sun .run package. It should be put to where the tarball from AUR was extracted.
In my case, it is /home/[users]/virtualbox-bin/

I've not tried this myself but I will do it soon and post the info here. Maybe create a separate package for 2.6.25 kernels it's a good idea.

HT1420 Hard Drive crash, installed new drive, can't de-authorize, iTunes thinks it is a new PC. Any ideas?

I recently had a new HDD installed in my PC. Obviously iTunes thinks this is a new PC now becuase of a fresh OS install. How can I de-authorize the PC iTunes recognizes so I can authorize PC with new HDD? I am at my 5 device limit. (I am running Windows Vista 64)

Try individually deauthorizing it even if iTunes thinks it isn't authorized. If that doesn't work, use the Deauthorize All function.

I am running 10.5.2 from a USB, I need to mount my internal hard drive, can anyone help me?

Hi everybody. My imac suddenly died on me. It couldn't start, right after the apple sign appeared, an interrogation sign showed. I ran the disk utility, and the problem was that the internal hard drive was not mounted. I installed the 10.5.2 (the one it came with the imac) in a USB flash drive, which I am running now. Is it possible to mount my internal drive so I can back up my data? (I know should back my data up regularly, but I didn't). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Alvaro.

I suspect a failed HD, in that case I'd recommend Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode at least 3x. You will need the original install discs that shipped with the computer, if you do not have them any longer you will need to order a replacement set from Apple by calling AppleCare. You will need a credit card and the serial number of the machine. The cost should be nominal.

Macbook Pro 2007 - Do I need original disks to install OS or can I install 10.6 dmg from USB?

Hi,
I recently bought a Macbook Pro 2007 and admittedly coming from Windows I am a relative novice with Macs. So, I made a purchase without realizing the important role the original OS disks play
I checked the OS and it says it is running OS X 10.5.8. I had a go at installing a different OS on a partition, but got an error message saying: "Filesystem verify or repair failed".
So, not being all that familiar with Macs, how do I go about installing a new OS? I am pretty clueless with that stuff on the Mac. Do I need to have the original OS disks in order to install a more recent OS? Or can I use the 10.6 dmg file that I have to install from a USB?
If I were to purchase a more recent OS (than the one that came originally with the Mac), would I be able to install that? In all cases I do not need to back up any of the existing data.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thank

If you want to erase the computer's hard drive to rid it of the previous owner's leavings (always a good idea with a used computer), and then install Snow Leopard, that should all go without a hitch. The present Leopard installation will be wiped along with everything else. But the iLife applications that were preinstalled on the machine at the factory and included on the discs that were originally shipped with it are not part of the OS and won't be included in the Snow Leopard installation. You'll need to purchase and reinstall those separately, and you can do so either by buying an iLife '11 installer DVD from an Apple Store, or by buying the individual iLife apps that you want from the Mac App Store. You'll have access to the App Store after applying the free OS updates to the final version of Snow Leopard, v. 10.6.8.
Once you can use the App Store, you'll also have the option of downloading the upgrade to OSX Lion, if your computer meets its system requirements.
