Using emacs on solaris 10

Hi,
Does anybody know how can i use emacs on solaris 10
i tried to type
emacs
from a shell, but it responds me with
emacs: command not found
when i install solaris 10, is emacs installed by default or i have to
install it by myself?
I am very new to solaris, can anybody help me?
thank you in advance.

Emacs 21.3 is part of the Solaris10 Companion CD.
The CD image is available for download on the Solaris10 download site.
Various versions of Emacs are also available as individual downloads ( pkg-add ) from the Sun Freeware site, as well as, a number of other sites that support the Sun OSes. ................John.

How to use rsync on Solaris 10

I have set up rsync to run as a daemon on 2 Solaris 10 servers
rsync --daemon
with a /etc/rsyncd.conf file of
motd file = /etc/motd
max connections = 5
syslog facility = local3
[ftp]
comment = ftp area
path = /
read only = yes
list = yes
uid = nobody
gid = nobody
[tmp]
comment = temporary file area
path = /tmp
read only = yes
list = yes
host allow = l3sun l4sun
auth users = root
when I execute
rsync -vrzt l3:/usr/ptraq/man /usr/ptraq/man
it gives the following:
The authenticity of host 'l3 (89.1.20.13)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 45:e6:23:88:42:7f:a6:9f:55:b4:43:ba:1c:1d:90:45.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'l3,89.1.20.13' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(359)
Any ideas as to how to use rsync on Solaris 10

When given a file source lie l3:/usr/ptraq/man with one colon (:) ssh attempts to connect using ssh.
If you want to connect to the rsync daemon, you need to give 2 colons l3::/usr/ptraq/man.
Your other alternative is to setup ssh keys so you can log in without a password and then you won't have to run rsync in daemon mode at all.

No user name / password - Used eMac

Hi All.
I just bought an used eMac (800MHz). Sale was "as is" and the price was so low ($30 Argentine pesos - $8.6 Dollars) that I couldn't ressit the temptation
The problem is I don't have the user name or password so I can not login into Mac OS X. Is there anything I can do? Maybe get a bootable 10.4 DVD or CD?
Just in case I get a boot DVD/CD, how can I do to make the system boot from the optical drive?
Thank you!

Purchase a bootable CD or DVD, insert it, and restart the computer with the C key held down. Choose the Reset Password option from the Utilities menu. This won't work if an Open Firmware password is set on the machine; if one is, ask the person who sold it to you for that or the administrator username and password.

I have A used eMac that is running 10.5.8

I have A used eMac Running 10.5.8, that was purchased on ebay. In keychain acess, the directory services, keychain is locked and greyed. I seem to be able to delete some or all of it, it gives me the option, to "delete the references" (files on the hardrive) or "delete the references and the files they are related to on the harddrive". Should I delete only, the references, or, the references and files? Or is there, A way, to unlock this, to see what it contains? Thanks for any help.

Yes, that's, what, I did! Just, now, I tried, to delete, "references & files" from directory services. Nothing, happened, at, first, fiddling around with keychain first aid, and then I noticed, "directory services" is gone now. "Horray"! Also, vanished, is ".Mac", (which was, also, locked, and greyed) I, guess, this, is, more, my, PC, now, than, it was, before.

Question for using ORACLE with SOLARIS

Hi Experts,
I have worked Oracle with Linux in one of my projects 2yrs back and i was just a developer, used to write SQL Query, Creating Table and Objects.
Now i got a question from TL which is
Tell me about consequences for using Oracle with Solaris?
I am not worked ORACLE with SOLARIS, Can some one give me the answer for this question with
1. Difference between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
2. Advantages and Disadvantages Between ORACLE with LINUX and ORACLE with SOLARIS.
Thanks,
MuraliDharan V

Hi MuraliDharan V,
It would had been better if you had searched first;
Here is one
Advantage for Linux64-bit Versus Solaris-x86_64 OS in RAC
And beside that your question is incomplete:
-What Oracle? Database, etc
-Which Version? 9i, 10g, etc
Aside from that a simple search on google might have answered your question as well.
But I think there is some new trend of dumping questions here before searching.

Using Accessibility in Solaris 10

Hello,
I've installed Solaris 10 03/05 and am attempting to use the included Accessibility (explicitly the gnopernicus screen reader with Gnome). I have followed the instructions in the Java Desktop System Release 3 Accessibility Guide (http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-7307) RE: changing the GDM greeter, sym linking the two jar files (enabling accessibility), defining a line in AccessKeyMouseEvents to run srcore when pressing CTRL-s, but there's still something I'm missing, as pressing CTRL-s at the login screen, or once logged in, produces nothing.
I've also tried logging in, and as I can not use X at all, login in a second time via SSH, setting my DISPLAY variable, and running srcore and (for something to try) gnopernicus manually from the SSH window - I get messages in the SSH window about speech access initialization succeeding, but no speech.
My sound card is detected by Solaris (no 3rd party drivers required) and I can play audio with audioplay. I've looked in logs (syslog, xorg) but found nothing that appears to be related to this issue.
I'm wondering whether anyone here has more experience with this than I (undoubtedly) and has a suggestion?
Some things I've thought to try, but have not yet found enough info about, include:
1. Perhaps sound needs to be turned on in Gnome first - can this be done without using the GUI? I've read about the sound-properties application but it requires use of X.
2. Perhaps FreeTTS (or what default synthesizer is gnopernicus wanting to use?) is not installed? I installed the full Solaris 10 distribution and the companion CD.
Thanks very much for your time and patience - it'd be great to try the accessible desktop out, I've gotten this to work under Linux a while back, but it's nice that Sun is bundling it with the OS.

Hi Peter - thanks for your reply.
I had already tried including the full path to srcore in AccessKeyMouseEvents (apologies for not mentioning this before) and still no luck.
I've just now re-verified that I made the correct changes as outlined in the JDS3 accessibility guide. My AccessKeyMouseEvents line is:
<Control>s 1 1000 1000 /usr/sfw/bin/srcore login disable-magnifier enable-speech enable-braille
(it is all on one line)
Any other suggestions?
Is there a way I can determine (via a non graphical method) whether the proper modules are being loaded by gdm?
Thanks,

How can multiple versions of the appserver be used on a Solaris server...

You can use the file-based versions of the Sun Java System Application Server to be co-located with any packaged based version or other file based version(s). The file based version is a full set of appserver components that reside under an install root.
You can download the latest file based version of SJSAS 8.1 from SunSolve. We release updates to the file based version as a fully installable patch. The documentation for the current latest version, SJSAS 8.1 UR2 is located at http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/coll/1310.2
The patch you retrieve is based on the OS:
File-based AS 8.1 patches:
119169: Solaris SPARC SE/EE
119170: Solaris x86 SE/EE
119171: Linux RHEL2.1 RHEL3.0 SE/EE
119173: Solaris SPARC PE
119174: Solaris x86 PE
119175: Linux RHEL2.1 RHEL3.0 PE
119176: Windows 2000/XP PE
Please note that the file-based patch actually contains the full installer bundle of AS 8.1
It is best to use the latest version of the patch ids listed above, which can be download from http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/patch-access
If wrote the specifics of the patches in a forum item located at http://swforum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?forumID=114&threadID=57331.
Hope this helps - Mark

We worked with one of their partners gssinfotech to create a custom runbook for "upgrade in place"
I think you might have to go to SQL2012 with 6.2.1 (there's a ton of benefits like always on that make BCP/DR with Tidal very smooth.) We've been Tidal 6 /SQL2012 for a while now so I forget. we're about 80% done with our 5.3.1 conversion
We restore our 5.3.1 admiral database to a sandbox SQL2012 server, run some cleanup script (if not upgrade in place, don't forget to set queue to zero and disable all jobs)
We installed a tidal Master then run every major rev and point to that database. (6.0,6.1,6.2,6.2 sp1)
The database gets upgraded during the process (we have some trouble with our "older" 531 so we do the same thing each time)
We then can use transporter to transport "legacy" 531 jobs to our pristine Tidal 6.2.1 (non-prod ) environment so we can take advantage of mapping files, etc. to switch things as needed
This gives a lot of flexibility to moving things in when one piece or job set at a time.. we use it to move job frameworks into nonprod Tidal 6 so that developers and other groups can review / asses / rewrite / test / their jobs on tidal 6.

OK to use fdisk/100% "SOLARIS System" partition for RAID6 Virtual Drive?

Solaris newb, here - I am configuring an x4270 with 16 135 GB drives. Basic approach is
D0, D1: RAID 1 (Boot volume, Solaris, Oracle Software)
D2-D13: RAID 6 (Oracle dB files)
D14, D15: global spares
After configuring the RAID's w/WebBIOS Utility, I am now trying to format/partition the RAID 6 Virtual Drive, which shows up as 1.327 TB 'Optimal' in the MegaRAID Storage Manager. After hunting around the ether for advice on how to do this, I came across http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1459/disksxadd-50.html#disksxadd-54639
"Creating a Solaris fdisk Partition That Spans the Entire Drive"
which is painfully simple: after 'format', just do an 'fdisk' and accept the default 100% "SOLARIS System" partition. After doing this, partition>print and prtvtoc show this:
partition> print

My question: is there anything inherently wrong with this default partitioning? Database is for OLTP & fairly small (<200 GB), with about 140 GB being LOB images.
Thanks,

First off, RAID-5 or RAID-6 is fine for database performance unless you have some REALLY strict and REALLY astronomical performance requirements. Requirements that someone with lots of money is willing to pay to meet.
You're running a single small x86 box with only onboard storage.
So no, you're not operating in that type of environment.
Here's what I'd do, based upon a whole lot of experience with Solaris 10 and not so much with Solaris 11, and also assuming this box is going to be around for a good long time as an Oracle DB server:
1. Don't use SVM for your boot drives. Use the onboard RAID controller to make TWO 2-disk RAID-1 mirrors. Use these for TWO ZFS root pools. Why two? Because if you use live upgrade to patch the OS, you want to create a new boot environment in a separate ZFS pool. If you use live upgrade to create new boot environments in the same ZFS pool, you wind up with a ZFS clone/snapshot hell. If you use two separate root pools, each new boot environment is a pool-to-pool actual copy that gets patched, so there are no ZFS snapshot/clone dependencies between the boot environments. Those snapshot/clone dependencies can cause a lot of problems with full disk drives if you wind up with a string of boot environments, and at best they can be a complete pain in the buttocks to clean up - assuming live upgrade doesn't mess up the clones/snapshots so badly you CAN'T clean them up (yeah, it has been known to do just that...). You do your first install with a ZFS rpool, then create rpool2 on the other mirror. Each time you do an lucreate to create a new boot environment from the current boot environment, create the new boot environment in the rpool that ISN'T the one the current boot environment is located in. That makes for ZERO ZFS dependencies between boot environments (at least in Solaris 10. Although with separate rpools, I don't see how that could change....), and there's no software written that can screw up a dependency that doesn't exist.
2. Create a third RAID-1 mirror either with the onboard RAID controller or ZFS, Use those two drives for home directories. You do NOT want home directories located on an rpool within a live upgrade boot environment. If you put home directories inside a live upgrade boot environment, 1) that can be a LOT of data that gets copied, 2) if you have to revert back to an old boot environment because the latest OS patches broke something, you'll also revert every user's home directory back.
3. That leaves you 10 drives for a RAID-6 array for DB data. 8 data and two parity. Perfect. I'd use the onboard RAID controller if it supports RAID-6, otherwise I'd use ZFS and not bother with SVM.
This also assumes you'd be pretty prompt in replacing any failed disks as there are no global spares. If there would be significant time before you'd even know you had a failed disk (days or weeks), let alone getting them replaced, I'd rethink that. In that case, if there were space I'd probably put home directories in the 10-disk RAID-6 drive, using ZFS to limit how big that ZFS file system could get. Then use the two drives freed up for spares.
But if you're prompt in recognizing failed drives and getting them replaced, you probably don't need to do that. Although you might want to just for peace of mind if you do have the space in the RAID-6 pool.
And yes, using four total disks for two OS root ZFS pools seems like overkill. But you'll be happy when four years from now you've had no problems doing OS upgrades when necessary, with minimal downtime needed for patching, and with the ability to revert to a previous OS patch level with a simple "luactivate BENAME; init 6" command.
If you have two or more of these machines set up like that in a cluster with Oracle data on shared storage you could then do OS patching and upgrades with zero database downtime. Use lucreate to make new boot envs on each cluster member, update each new boot env, then do rolling "luactivate BENAME; init 6" reboots on each server, moving on to the next server after the previous one is back and fully operational after its reboot to a new boot environment.

Using vn_make_ops in Solaris 10

The vnode.h file provided with Solaris 10 provides a new function, vn_make_ops, and recommends using it to create vnodeops structs. There is no explanation given as to how vn_make_ops is supposed to be used. All of my attempts to use it have resulted in kernel crashes. Anyone have any insight/suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hooking mac mini up to emac with firewire, and using emac as the display

Is this possible? Would it work to hook up the mac mini via firewire to the emac and use the emac disaplay to run the computer? Thanks

I second that!
This is a question that is asked with remarkable regularity, and while it is possible to connect the two systems and to 'run' the mini either as a remote hard drive (a very expensive way of gaining slow external storage) or remote control it, the former is an inefficient use of the mini and the latter only allows you to open a window onto the mini from the host system, where performance is somewhat limited.
Better in this sort of situation to sell the old system and use the money to buy a new display for the mini, or if the old system is needed and funds very limited, to look for a used display.

Use eMac as G5 monitor?

G'day,
As I've picked up a prev model AppleTV, I've really no need to keep my PowerMac down in the loungeroom.
That means I have no screen for it however, as I was using my TV.
What options are available to me to use my eMac as a "monitor" for the PowerMac? Screen sharing? Ubunto? Ethernet?
Guess it's kinda an overkill, having 2 computers running, but money is not something I'll be seeing for a while.
cheers
cosmic

Hi-
Screen sharing over ethernet network is probably the quickest and easiest.
I use Vine Server with Leopard machines, but Chicken of the VNC is also fine:

Depending on the eMac, you may or may not need a crossover cable:

Using eMac keyboard with iMac help needed.

I have an iMac from around 2009, at the weekend the keyboard stopped working and until I can afford a replacement a friend has given me an old eMac keyboard he had spare to use in the meantime (which could be a while).
Just this morning I've realised that it doesn't have some of the function keys that the iMac keyboard has. The one I'm missing the most is the F3 key that shows me all the windows I have open at once. Something I find invaluable as I use my mac for music production and helps sort through and find all the plugins I have open.
Is there a way to achieve what the iMac F3 does with a combination of keys on the eMac keyboard?
Thanks
Andy.

With older Mac keyboards, try using the Command key with the F keys to see which F keys do what function.
