Sparc 5 install help

I've just got myself a sparc 5 pretty cheap, and intend to install a version of solaris on it initially. Basically I have 2 questions:
1) What would be the best version of Solaris to put on it? I've seen 2.6 & 7 on eBay at reasonable prices
2) Do I really have to have a sun keyboard and monitor, or can I somehow connect over a serial port?

The "best" version of Solaris is up to you. You can download free Solaris 8 binaries and burn your own CD's from:
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/binaries/get.html
You do not need to download the Installation CD as it is not needed to install Solaris 8. You would need min 2gig HDD annd 64mb of memory.
Yes, you can install via Serial port A (ttya). No monitor or keyboard required. 9600, 8,n,1,- and emulating a VT100.

  • "Application wants to install Helper".  Is this genuine?

    A box keeps appearing saying Application wants to install Helper and asking for my password to access the hard drive.  It just doesn't feel right to me and I wonder if it is genuine.  Would be grateful for any advice.

    Like an idiot, I actually entered my password, Safari crashed, and now it won't open. Sad thing is, I knew it wasn't genuine but was in the middle of a deadline and just was trying to make the window go away. Now every time I relaunch Safari is closes unexpectedly and won't reopen. Help please. Is this malware?

  • CS5.5 install help!

    I have just purchased CS5.5 but installation will not work (I've tried 5 times!). I have disabled my anti-virus, and my firewall and there are no previous versions on my PC! I have even deleted other Adobe products in case that was the problem. Any suggestions gratefully received as I'm really frustrated!!! Cannot get through to Adobe on the phone either!

    Thank you very much! I will try the links below.
    Unfortunately it is very hard to get in touvh with Adobe! The phone number for Australia is disconnected (if you have an Australian phone number for support I would be very grateful!!!)...and even the Education support number I tried the other day won't answer - have been on hold for 2 x 20minutes with no one answering! And the "chat" option...I've sat and waited for an operator to be available for ages...no operators available!
    I have disabled my anti-virus, and firewall, checked that I have all the appropriate plug-ins ie. Java, Quicktime etc and my computer is brand new, Windows 7 with no previous version of Creative Suite! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong!!!

  • Solaris 10 (6/06 SPARC) - Network install

    Hello all :)
    I downloaded the newest ISO, burned it. and tryed to execute the setup_install_server.
    it tries to find Boot directory (its linked to Boot -> ../../../s1)
    but the link is broken.
    in the X86 installation the link exists and not broken so i can run the script.
    looks like the newest ISO does not contains all the stuff we need to install it from network.
    I hope im wrong :) i want to install those SPARCs....

    Moin!
    I did also download the most recent (DVD) ISO did a setup_install_server
    and didn't have that problem. I did however skip the burn step and instead
    mounted the ISO directly via loopback devices:
    # lofiadm -a /jumpstart/OS/isos/sol-10-u2-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
    /dev/lofi/7
    # mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/lofi/7 /mnt/10u2
    When looking at the files system of this mount the Boot directory is not
    linked and as said the setup_install_server worked fine.
    Hope this helps

  • Itunes wont open and quicktime will not install. help?

    someone please help. my itunes will not open since i preformed an update (it has not been updated for a few years). i have noticed i no longer have quicktime on my laptop but cant re-install. i get to the 'welcome to quicktime 7 installer' screen, press next and windows installer stops working. some one please help.
    i am running windows vista.
    many thanks

    windows installer has stopped working
    a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is avabilable.
    ... and that's one that I wasn't thinking of ...
    Head into your Windows Update. Are there any new updates available for you? If so, and you install, does that clear up the error message?

  • PSE 10  and Adobe CS6: When running silent install help is not working afterwards

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the correct forum. If not: Please help me find the correct one.
    I have a big issue with Adobe CS6 (and former versions like Photoshop Elements 10): When installing it from DVD running GUI everything is working fine afterwards. If I install e.g. Photoshop Elements 10 using "Silent Installation" help is not working afterwards. It states that it cannot locate the URL. I have not installed AIR and also do not plan to install it.
    I have 'played' a little around with Common Files\Adobe\helpcfg and help directory. Now at least I do not get an error message but still it's not the online help which opens in the browser but the web page that is defined as 'home'.
    The same I see now in Adobe CS6. I have e.g. packaged After Effects and Illustrator and when deploying it I'm not able to open help as well and I fear that this is the same issue.
    Has anyone deeper knowledge about how "helpcfg" is working? Any example files? Any other help appreciated as well.
    Kind regards
    János

    @hannilator Have you checked the exceptions folder contents for instructions on how to push to logged off computers? Here's what I get when I package CS6 (DesignWebPrem) and excude AIR/CHC:
    After you have deployed the package, separately install the products in the exception folder.
    IMPORTANT: Before you install the products in the exception folder, refer to the following Adobe Knowledgebase article for information on installing these products and configuring the settings correctly:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/aamee_exceptions
    NOTE: The installation commands provided below will work when the user is logged in to the client machine where the package is being deployed. For the scenario where the user is not logged in, prefix the following string to the command:
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'`
    As an example, here is the command to install "Adobe AIR" when the user is not logged in to the client machine (assuming Adobe AIR is part of the package):
    sudo launchctl bsexec `ps auwwx |grep [l]oginwindow | awk '{ print $2 }'` Adobe\ AIR\ Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe\ AIR\ Installer -silent

    We have gotten it running on two RH6 machines. Took a little
    extra work.
    Briefly...
    * Make sure you use the latest JRE, and try using the one
    with native threads (if not you will have to hand edit the
    netasst script and remove the -native flag)
    * For some reason some of the libs that get installed are
    zero length. Find the thread on this forum where someone posted
    some sample code to recreate these. If I remember right its the
    libjni library. It is a very short easy compile.
    * Make sure you got lots of RAM (128 min) and double that in
    swap
    * Watch for binaries that get installed without the execute
    bit set. For instance I think tnslsnr is one of them, as well as
    SQLPlus. I can't remember exactly, but that's one other problem
    to watch out for.
    So far things here are working. I even tried a little java in a
    stored procedure. My latest issue is trying to get the PROC
    samples to compile.

  • Mid-2010 27" iMac very slow, even after clean OS install - HELP!

    Good afternoon guys, I'm hoping someone can offer me some advice.
    I bought my Mid-2010 27" iMac in May-ish 2011. Everything was brilliant, I couldn't believe the ease of use, and especially the start up speed, coming from a world of PCs. My iMac was used almost every day, for web browsing, photo editing, etc.
    Maybe about April / May this year it started becoming very slow, slow to boot, slow to respond to mouse clicks, slow to do anything. Since I'd used about 750GB of my HDD (mainly photos), I decided I would archive some and hope that would ease the congestion. As my photos were stored in Aperture, it took about 3 days to export them all to my external HDD, 3 days of the iMac only getting so far, switching itself off, then me finally getting it to come back on (I was getting messages about Kernals, etc. now and again through boot too) - it finally backed up my photos I have from my daughters first year.
    Great news, but I still had probably 400GB / 500GB of photos from her second year and any other photos I'd taken. I found the root of my Aperture directory, and managed to pull these images off, so everything is now backed up.
    I decided I should try and clean install, and managed to get the HDD to boot and choose the option to re-install from Apple's Servers. All installed OK, and we're good to go! Fired up the iMac, and although it's fractionally quicker to respond, and a lot more stable, it's not quite right. And I've lost all my iLife Apps which originally came with the iMac.
    Does this sound like a HDD issue? As I say, it was on quite a lot through the backup procedure, and I had set it (maybe stupidly looking back now) to never sleep, and for the monitor to only switch off after 3 hours. Or does it sound like something more is wrong with it?
    I am quite confident of working with PCs, so would manage to replace the HDD I think, looking at some videos, etc. online. I did upgrade the RAM to 16GB, and that was simple enough. My question is, when you replace the HDD, how does it know where to look to the Apple Servers for the clean OS install? Or do I have to do something to let it know where to look first? I have to point out I don't have any Time Machine backup, etc. as the iMac was just not stable enough to get this in place - and up until that point, again probably stupid now looking back, I had never bothered to set up.
    Any help / advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I have totally fallen out of love with the iMac, for something to cost £1,500+ and only last 3 years, where my last build PC lasted Approx 8 years for half the price, is very disappointing.
    Thanks in advance,
    Col

    Just suggesting things right off the bat here-
    To me it sounds as though the HDD is failing, if your iMac shipped with a Seagate drive try entering your serial number to see if Apple will replace it:http://www.apple.com/au/support/imac-harddrive/
    Or try running Apple Hardware Test a few times back to see if it is a hardware error.
    As for the iLife apps they should've come on one of the install discs that shipped with your mac.
    If your iMac is ineligible for the program above I would consider replacing it yourself with either an SSD or HDD, as for recognising apples servers for download, you will need the original install discs that came with your computer or if you haven't already it will need a firmware update to enable internet recovery
    See here:Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery
    Good Luck!

  • ITunes corrupted, can't uninstall or re-install  HELP!

    My iTunes program is corrupted, and I am unable to uninstall it. Up to today the program worked, though I could not install any downloaded updates, nor would it let me uninstall the program. However, this morning, it dumped about half of my music, including all of my purchased music from iTunes. My purchased folder is GONE, as is about 3500 songs with art work.
    I uninstalled QuickTime, then ran Windows Installer Cleanup to remove the QuickTime and iTunes programs leftover. (This was the suggestion on b noir from another post) However, when it came to the removing of the iTunes folder from the Program Files folder, I got this message: "ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER - Cannot delete iTunesmini Player.dll: Access is denied." It looks like the folder contents, for the most part "?", is still there. STILL unable to uninstall, cannot reinstall, and my music is still gone.
    I manually sync my iPod, so my music is still on my iPod classic.
    First, I need a working iTunes program. Then I need to retrieve my music.
    Can anyone help me?

    I got this message: "ERROR DELETING FILE OR FOLDER - Cannot delete iTunesmini Player.dll: Access is denied." It looks like the folder contents, for the most part "?",
    Plausibly, that's a damaged file or files.
    Try running a chkdsk over the C drive (or whichever drive the iTunes program files are stored on), as per:
    How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, does the folder delete properly afterwards?
