Ultra VNC for Solaris

Is anyone running Ultra VNC on Solaris. We are currently running Real VNC rel. 3 on Solaris. Unfortunately, we have encountered some issues with fitting the application properly on the screen. Ultra VNC for Windows allows the ability to modify and change display to better fit screen. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

did you solve your problem?

  • NVIDIA GeForce 2 Ultra drivers for Solaris 8

    I am having trouble making the GeForce 2 Ultra drivers from NVIDIA. I have the latest gcc and make from GNU, but I keep getting errors. Has anyone been able to successfully load them and get them to work with the GeForece? Thanks in advance.

    unixforall,
    I had the same problem under linux. I can only tell you what I did for Linux as I haven't had a chance to download Solaris yet. Get the following file:
    ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/4.0.2/Install
    If you follow this step by step (it is very self explanatory) then you should end up with a few binaries that are compatible with the GeForce. In particular the XFree86 X server module. I don't know if there are any other catches with Solaris but with Linux (RH7) this worked like a charm (except I overwrote my previous config files and had to reinvent the wheel - be careful backup all config files if you are going to overwrite them). Anyway I hope this is of some use.

  • How to use VNC for Solaris 10

    Hello, I am completely green when it comes to Unix / Solaris. I am trying to use VNC from the Solaris 10 Companion DVD. I have it installed. I followed the easy to use steps from this site : http://www.salixtraining.co.uk/index_files/vncsol10.htm
    But the problem is I don't know how to use it now that I have it installed.
    What I am tring to do is install an e-ticketing software program on my test Solaris server and I am stuck on getting PHP to work correctly and I am trying get the company, whose product I am trying to use, to connect to my server to investigate. I want them to be able to remote connect to and be able to see and access the server to see if they can help.
    Can anyone help? I really need step by step instructions. Assume that I don't know anything!
    Thanks in advance,
    Aaron

    Hello, here are the instructions I follow to install VNC on my systems running Solaris Express, you may use this to your own install, I dont use the one included on the companion CD, I download the one from RealVNC instead, I hope this helps:
    VNC
    INSTALL VNC (RealVNC) 4.1.2 - Solaris Express 11 b71 Sparc
    a)
    File to use: �vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz�
    #gunzip vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar.gz
    #tar �xvf vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris.tar
    #cd vnc-4_1_2-sparc_solaris
    b)
    Install it by running:
    # ./vncinstall /usr/bin /usr/share/man
                   Note: this will also install man pages into �/usr/share/man/man1�
    If you want to use the Java VNC viewer (Open browser and type pc_name:display#):
    Copy the files from the java directory to some suitable installation directory
    such as /usr/local/vnc/classes (vncserver will read this path!- don�t change it):
    # mkdir -p /usr/local/vnc/classes
    # cp java/* /usr/local/vnc/classes
    c)
    Add these 2 lines to .profile (under the user)- (This will make it to connect always with screen 1):
    vncserver -kill :1
    vncserver -depth 24 -geometry 1024x768 (or any other combination you want like 1280x1024,etc)
    note: dont use it if you want to have a different screen to connect everytime.
    d)
    Create a /.vnc directory first, we will create the xstartup file inside:
    file /.vnc/xstartup:
    #!/bin/sh
    # xrdb $HOME/.Xresources      < This line Not really needed!! >
    xsetroot -solid grey
    gnome-session          <add selection for KDE or CDE if needed see bellow notes>
    ** Here is How to Create the �xstartup� file:
    echo "#!/bin/sh
    xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
    xsetroot -solid grey
    #/usr/dt/bin/dtsession CDE < CDE, gnome or sessions: >
    #gnome-session Gnome < comment with '#' the one you don't >
    < want to use. >
    " > xstartup
    # chmod 744 xstartup To make it executable!.
    *** Sample used for the user: (use the same file for the other users) �it will be created
    the first time using it, just change it/add to the following sample:
    First time to login will ask to create a password or
    Run /export/home/�name�/.vnc/passwd (to add password to login)
    You may need to change ownership on the following 3 if you create them under different user:
    /.vnc folder
    /.vnc/xstartup
    /.vnc/passwd
    using #chown -name- .vnc (xstartup and passwd)
    To check process for VNC running:
    # ps -ef | grep Xvnc
    To stop the process:
    # kill pid# (stop it hard way)
    kill display:
    #vncserver -kill :#
    to connect from another system just type the hostIP:screen#, e.g. 192.168.1.20:1

  • Optimum RAM for Solaris 10 on Ultra 40M2

    I currently have 4GB on this Ultra 40M2 running Solaris 10 5/08 but wonder if I should get 8GB. I don't really have any problems with the current setup.

    morgair suggested:
    " +If you are going to invest in an IDE you can get a decent one with 200+ GB for about 60 to 70 dollars.+ "
    That's all fine and good, but your Ultra 10's onboard IDE controller is not 48bit capable.
    It wil not recognize more than 137GB of such a drive.
    http://www.48bitlba.com/index.htm
    For internal disks in such a system
    (designed in 1997, first shipped in 1998 and EOL'd in 2002)
    I suggest you stay with 120GB or smaller drives.
    Additionally, if the OBP is down-rev,
    you'll have problems having it recognizing drives of "today's" sizes.
    Consider:
    Install a core Solaris 10 to the 8GB disk.
    Get something+ functional.
    Update the OBP from that OS environment.
    Then replace the disk with something larger
    and reinstall to whatever you want to do.
    You could take the 8GB and slave it as a data disk in some PeeCee, somewhere.

  • Parallel port programming for a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8

    Hi I'm trying to look for information about reading/writing to the parallel port of a Sun Ultra 5 running Solaris 8. I'd just like to see some basic programs written in C, nothing fancy, just reading and wrting to the port, getting the port address etc. toggling the lines.
    I've tried searching for this information and there is plenty of information about PC parallel port programming with windows or Linux. But there seems to be little for Sun's
    I've tried doing 'man ecpp' but that doesn't really give any clear example. What I need is an idiots guide.
    I've tried searching this Forum and I see that other people have asked the same question before but no one has replied to them. Why is this?
    Thanks if you can help.
    fishman.

    The key is gettting the port into diag mode. Here's a quickly little example that turns all the data pins on and then turns them off:
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <sys/conf.h>
    #include <sys/stat.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <stropts.h>
    #include <fcntl.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <sys/ecppio.h>
    int fd = 0;
    // ecpp structures
    ecpp_transfer_parms etp;
    ecpp_regs eregs;
    // returns -1 if error otherwise returns fd
    int openoutput()
    fd = open("/dev/ecpp0",O_RDWR);
    if (fd==-1) { return -1; }
    // default is 90
    etp.write_timeout = 10;
    // the big secret
    etp.mode = ECPP_DIAG_MODE;
    ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_SETPARMS,&etp);
    return fd;
    unsigned char in()
    unsigned char data;
    // from the man pages
    ioctl(fd,ECPPIOC_GETREGS,&eregs);
    data = eregs.dsr;
    return data;
    void out( unsigned char data )
    write(fd,&data,1);
    int main( void )
    int dummy;
    openoutput();
    //all data pins on
    out( 255 );
    scanf("%d", &dummy);
    //all data pins off
    out( 0 );
    scanf("%d", &dummy);
    close( fd );
    return 0;
    }

  • Is it possible to make a DVD rom work on Sparc Ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6?

    I have been asked to try and get a DVD drive to work on a sparc ultra 5 running Solaris 2.6.
    Its been a while since I have done much with an ultra 5. My first reaction was no. However I thought that I should ask just in case it can be done.
    Its got to be Solaris 2.6 because of other applications running on it. I believe that the DVD has been installed using an IDE cable.
    Can anybody give me any advice?
    Thanks
    Phil

    I have a vague recollection that the filesystem structure of DVD versus CD
    (and perhaps its capacity differences... )
    I said the recollection was vague...
    are why the DVD optical media was not functional or usable.until Solaris 8.
    Try an experiment.
    Put such a drive into the system, get a copy of CDRTOOLS for Solaris 2.6(SPARC)
    [http://www.sunfreeware.com/indexsparc26.html]
    and see if you can do anything with it.
    Better yet, suggest to the system's owner that they go do it.
    It'd be a learning experience for them.
    I agree with Harold that Sol10 would be too much for that beastie.
    The sweet spot was Solaris 7 or 8.
    Edit: ... and give the Duke Stars to Harold.

  • Zip -E for Solaris 10?

    Hi, everyone
    I have a need for what I think is an older version of info-zip that used to have the -E (capital E) option that would encrypt the file but it could be scripted unlike the current zip -e which will prompt you to enter a password twice and cannot be easily scripted. I need the -E version so code changes don't need to be made in production.
    I can't seem to find this version of zip (source or binary) anywhere. Does anyone have any idea what happened to this option or where I might find the old source that contained this option?
    TIA

  • NIC on Ultra 10 with Solaris 10 not running

    Hi,
    I have a couple of Old Ultra 10's. I've installed Solaris 10 on both of them. I tried to give them a point to point connectivity using a Cross-over cable. But, when I do a ifconfig -a on both of them, I get it as
    <UP, BROADCAST, MULTICAST> MTU ...... if you noticed here, I did not get them as RUNNIING. I have given them private IP's 192.168.1.1 and .2 and they are both on 255.255.255.0. I have them both plumbed and up with the above IP and netmasks. but they do not ping each other. I wonder where I am wrong. Can somebody gimme a insight into this, as to what has to be done to rectify this problem. One of them had the MTU value as 8232 and the other one at 1500 so, I gave the one with 8232
    # ifconfig hme0 mtu 1500
    1. Are the IPs correct ?
    2. Are the net mask values set right ?
    3. Should any of the files need to be updated?
    4. what about the /etc/defaultrouter does this have to do anything with the servers not pinging each other ?
    5. Does the NIC driver need an update for Solaris 10 ? If so can you pls specify the link for me to download ?
    Advice Pls.
    David

    I've had tremendous trouble in the past with making crossover ethernet cables function properly on some Ultra 10 machines. As far as I'm aware, it should have the same hardware as other Sun models, but that's the only one I've had real problems with.
    I've had several jumpstart setups that failed until I was able to bring in a hub or switch instead of working them back-to-back.
    So no direct help from me, I'm afraid. But it could just be the hardware. Use 'kstat' (or the ndd method) to check if the link is up. No link, no traffic. Until that happens your questions 1-4 are irrelevant. Question 5 is a good one, but no, Solaris 10 would include the hardware drivers. And for equipment as old as the Ultra 10, I'm guessing there haven't been many recent updates.

  • Windows ultra vnc connecting to iMac

    I am trying to do remote screen sharing from my Windows XP laptop to my iMac. I have screen sharing set up on my iMac. I try and connect to it with Ultra VNC, it prompts me for the password I set up on my iMac and then for an instant shows up on my screen and then closes with no error. Any ideas as to why this is not working?

    I am able to get the VNC connection from XP (UltraVNC) to the Mac (with Screen Sharing enabled). The connection only works at the highest screen quality (select AUTO settings under the Quick Options in ultra).
    My problem is that I'm trying to connect with a lower resolution to improve speed/refresh, since I'm connecting through the ether and not on a LAN. Anyone figured out how to connect with 16, 64, or 256 colors from UltraVNC?

  • Upgrading an Ultra-1 to Solaris 9

    Is it possible to upgrade a
    SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
    to Solaris 9?
    Is it truely an upgrade or will it remove my data on my boot disk.
    Also, if I was to order a new internal hard drive(boot disk), what do you recommend.
    Thx,
    Rob

    Hi,
    Yes, you can upgrade the OS to either Solaris 7 or Solaris 8. Since you are upgrading OS better to do on Solaris 8 now itself. During Installtion process, it will detect your current partions. You may choose upgrade OS option in first step. It will help you to preserve your current data partions. It may expect equal amount of disk space free to make a copy for the partions on which you may want to preserve data during installation process.
    The second choice is you may take ufsdump backup of the your data file systems and then do fresh OS installation of Solaris 8 and then restore required data portion. Only care to be taken is the partion size should be same for which ufdump backup/restore will be done.
    Hope this helps. If any questions, let us know.
    Thanks,
    Santosh

    It should work fine. It was a bug with iasdeploy command in iAS SP3 which had been fixed in iAS SP4.

  • No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation

    Hi all, I have a problem when trying to install Solaris 8 (Intel) on my PC. There are some funny things happened while installing the OS.
    1.) My motherboard does not support booting from CD-ROM, so I downloaded a Device Assistant Boot Disk to boot it up. Then I use dd.exe to make the boot disk from the image, I have tried many times that after creating the boot disk, this boot disk will contain 512 bytes of bad sector. So why?
    2.) After using this boot disk to boot up and install the OS, before entering to the detection of the bus type stuff (still on the white screen), at the bottom of the screen, it says "ata_command select failed ... ...", what does this mean?
    3.) When the system go back to the white screen with language selection, I choose English (which is 1), and the system try to find my hard disk, but it failed and says "No Disk meet the criteria for Solaris installation" with a new line saying "installation documenation found.". So what is happening?
    Appreciate for any help.

  • Build for solaris 8 on solaris 10 - possible?

    I want to build/compile an application for solaris 8, but I only have access to a machine running solaris 10. Can I compile for solaris 8 on a solaris 10 machine, and if so, what do I have to do to make it work?

    The short answer is generally no.
    The long answer is that it can be done but you will need to make sure that on the Solaris 10 machine you only use functions/headers/libraries that are available on Solaris 8 otherwise they will not be found and the software won't work.
