Wine on Solaris

Hi,
has anyone managed to get wine to work on solaris yet?, and could they advise me on how they did it?
Rob Putt

I believe it will compile on sparc, as long as your not looking to run binaries compiled for x86, although I've never tried it myself. Its just a windows API. If your looking for an x86 emulator you might try bochs, also available on blastwave.

Anyone try to configure "wine" on solaris 10???????

Hi,
I am trying to configure "wine" in solaris10. I downloaded the package from " http://www.blastwave.org/wine/" & trying to configure . If anyone do this plese share the process.
Thanks
Partha

I could use some help with this as well ... so far I have been unable to find a clear and concise document that can walk me through configurin gSNMP. Clean Solaris 10 installation, snmpdx is running - now how do I configure it? Better yet, how do I disable snmpdx and run net-snmp?
Please, someone help or at least paste a link to an article somewhere...

I think that error means that Oracle has found your tnsnames.ora file but the host name for the tnsentry defined in it is not responding.
so you could be using the wrong tnsnames.ora file, or maybe your RPD connection pool is using a different data source name from the one that you're testing with tnsping.
how many tnsnames.ora files have you got on your machine? ** find / -name tnsnames.ora **
what data source name is your connection pool configured to use in your RPD?

Some general questions about Sun Java Communications Suite

Hello Everybody,
We are a small group of individuals (2 Java developers and 1 Linux expert and Web Application developer), located in Germany.
We are fully new to �Solaris� and Sun Java Communications Suite and know, that it�s a highly professional software system for large scale deployment. However we plan to install (64 Bit version) and manage it in a small network environment, consisting of a Server (4 GB RAM, RAID 5, AMD Dual CPU) based on Solaris 10 (X86) and *20* clients based on Win XP, Solaris and Linux.
It�s a network of a non-profit organization, providing social services to local society.
At clients we will use the Communications Express and the needed services are: Calander, Mail and Address book. (no need of Outlook Connector, Instant Messaging, Document Management, etc.)
Our long-term aim is - after learning of professional architecting, deployment and management of Communications Suite - to provide integration and development services to organizations (schools and small / medium sized Business) and public in cooperation with ISP or infrastructure-providers like Sun Microsystems.
Now, our main questions are:
*1.-* Is the Server phy. recourse enough to deliver the mentioned services of Communication Suite to 20 clients without problems?
*2.-* Isn�t Communications Suite oversized for such small network mentioned above or better, if we use another collaboration software system like Opengroupeware (http://opengroupware.org/) ? Opengroupeware is developed using non-java lang and therefore doesn�t match our strategy.
*3.-* Does the Communications Suite download-pack includes all necessary components of Sun Java ES (Directory Server, Access Manager, etc.) or these components are to be downloaded separately?
*4.-* What is the difference between the Sun Java System Messaging Server and the Sun Java System Message Queue?
We appropriate very much your answers and any further useful information regarding our project.
Thanks
Asghar

1> I believe your hardware can support 20 users (you might need to tune the Web Server heap size) - I had a Sparc 2x450mhz w/ 2GB of ram supporting 50+ users quite comfortably - with roughly half using POP and the other half IMAP/webmail. Ideally though, for best performance you would want to break up the main servers (LDAP, WEB, and MS) between hosts) - probably not necessary for 20 users. Having all on one machine simplifies things too (but also makes it a single-point-of-failure). Your disk obviously is important, the faster the better - that it's redundant is also nice - larger deployments might use much fancier storage systems to provide speed and redundancy, and use an the App Server instead of the Web Server as a container for Comms Express.
2> I don't think it's "oversized" - might you mean overkill? In this case I don't think overkill is a bad thing. Why not have very capable software, even if you don't really need it -is how I see things.
3> I believe you get all you need in the download. Though I've never tried the 64bit version (which I am guessing is only really necessary for larger deployments where you want to obtain maximized performance for heavier loads). I recommend following the single host evaluation document to get the hang of the install.
4> I'm not sure - though the Messaging install I believe requires the MQueue stuff, I think it's sort of an API for messaging, also available separately, but used by JES Messaging system?
Good Luck,

Boot process

Hi ,
On my laptop I have Solaris 8 and Win2000.
During booting it displays a sceen where i can choose the partion from where i want to boot ( Win or Solaris). Currently, it defaults to Solaris ( after a 10 sec timeout). Is there any way to change the default boot partition from Solaris to Win?
Moreover, my understanding is that this program is the 'bootblk' program. Is the source code of this program publicly available? if yes where can i find it?
Thanks
Tasos

Submit button disabed, when uploading eGate.sar

Hi,
I am facing a problem when installing Jcaps 5.1 on Solaris 10 sparc. Following are the steps.
1) Successfully installed Repository
2) Successfully logged into web-admin page.(with username and password)
3) From the "browse" button able to add /caps/ProductCD1/eGate.sar file.
But "Submit" button is not enabled, tried in firefox(1.04), mozilla browsers.
Please let me know how can i proceed further.
Thanks in Advance

Use Internet Explorer on Windows.
You could try running IE under Wine on Solaris but the effort required to do that might not be worht the trouble particularly that you will need a Windows platform to run the Enterprise Designer anyway.
Read the documentation for pre-requisites and supported platforms.

Spawning my own JPopupMenu breaks every single JComboBox in the application

That's pretty much it.
I have determined the problem is in no way caused by the contents of the popup menu, but rather the popup menu itself. I have a popup menu which contains only a button which does nothing (I've tried this same thing with just a checkbox, just a radio box, just a text widget...same thing happens). If I bring up the popup and then hide it right away, everything else works fine. If I bring up the popup and click the button, every single combo box in the application (there are dozens) is suddenly in this weird state where even though you can bring up their list popups, selecting items there won't change the contents of the text portion of the widget and in fact an action listener won't even report that an event has taken place.
When the CBs are in this state, you can use the keyboard to select items. You can also click and HOLD the mouse button and release on your selection and that will properly select the item, but clicking to select list items doesn't work.
Somehow, the JPopupMenus are swallowing all the mouse pressed events for any other popupmenus in the system. Sounds like a REALLY low level java bug to me...
OS: Win XP, Win 2000, Win ME, Solaris, FreeBSD, Linux.
JVMS: Pretty much all the ones you can run on those platforms.
- Joe

Of course it's been a while since the original poster brought up this problem, but I was just having this same issue. It had nothing to do with mixing light-weight and heavy-weight components though.
In my case, I was using a JPopupMenu with some buttons in it as a sort of toolbar flyout, and whenever you would click one of the buttons, all combo boxes in the application would cease to allow simple mouse selection of items in the list. This behavior is evidently related to bug #4492892 and supposedly only applies to the Windows look and feel.
I think I've found a reasonable work-around. Setting all of the components in the popup menu to be non-focusable (ie. button.setFocusable(false); ) seems to do the trick. Just hoping others might benefit from this solution. Cheers.

The admin/managed-server communication copies things to the managed server, which then always recompiles the pages when hit.
          This is a known issue and is fixed. The timestamps of the compiled classes was not being preserved when extracted from the war file used to distribute to the managed servers. This will be available in WLS6.1 Service Pack 3 - and there is a temporary patch available for SP2. Please ask your friendly BEA support person for it (you can refer to CR058946)
          I'd give you the patch myself, but they like to keep track of these things...

Unable to unzip downloads

I've downloaded a number of the Solaris 8 CD images, but I cannot unzip 3 of them
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Software 1 of 2 CD ( 332.59 MB )
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Documentation CD, European (optional) ( 359.70 MB )
Download Solaris 8 4/01 Documentation CD, European (optional) ( 359.70 MB )
All flavors of unzip (Win and Solaris Sparc) failed. I can run a unix flavor of zipfix and reconstruct something, but I'm loathe to actually use the ISO as a slew of new files are created inside the zip file, leaving me to wonder how corrupt the files are.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

First let me say that I've installed Solaris 8i and found it to be a very reliable installation.
However, corrupt install disks are a very common cause of frustration for any OS or software; store bought or downloaded.
0) Installation documents are very important to read. Allways read them over.
1) Use an "ftp" program to download CDs because it uses error correction, a web browser may not (many ftp applications are available for free or share.
1a) Don't expect Windows to check for errors in any manner throught this whole process.
2) Look for an "MD5SUMS" file or other method offered from the download site to insure your downloads are not corrupt. For example a program called "md5sum" reads a file and creates a code. The code is compared to the code in MD5SUMS at the download site (the origional code). Matching codes garuntees a good copy. But even checking the files are the exact same size is better than nothing.
3) If your zip program can't unzip and you've followed step 2; find a better zip program. (! even if it does - you should still heed step 2 to get a "suprise free" install !)
After Writing the CD:
You should really check to see if the CD was written correctly - though this isn't usually needed as much as checking after a large download.
CDROM drives are occasoinally at fault for install problems. For example, if you hear your CD "drop and spin" inside the drive at any time, you have a problem.
If you get a message like "can't read package" during installation that's a sure sign that either the CD data is wrong or the CD drive malfunctioned.
Unfortunately, many errors are less "tell tale" and may either be computer related or install related.

Comparison gives error / not show differences for File Protection

We tried to verify on our MS (Version 6.0.2) with comparison two Installations with:
"Comparison Style: install to install"
"Level of Detail: directory and file properties"
(as you can choose in the UI)
1) Seems that he don't catch file protection (which are different from one Installation to the other, we tried this with a very simple comparison run with only two files to compare .....)
2) A comparison on a Installation with a lot of Files to compare (BEA-Weblogic Installation) it gives following Error Messages:
A comparison failed because Unable to complete the install to install comparison under path "/opt/bea/wlserver923/weblogic92/server/bin/international"|Ensure that you have read permission on the directory and try again. (600094) on 10/31/08 1:42:11 PM MET. The comparison used settings: wls-9.2.3-1.
But this Directory got the following protection on reference and comparison host:
[n1sps@usv0412 ~]$ ls -ld /opt/bea/wlserver923/weblogic92/server/bin/international
drwxr-xr-x 2 wlsadmin wls 4096 Oct 31 12:42 /opt/bea/wlserver923/weblogic92/server/bin/international
What could be wrong?
Does anybody use this comparison Install to Install ?
Regards, Hanspeter
PS: I've got documented this comparison more exactly in a Word-Doc. But unfortunately theres no possibility to attach this to the forum.
Edited by: HanspeterK on Oct 31, 2008 6:56 AM

I wonder how much anyone is using this functionality. We are stated to use comparison in "install to install" mode and getting the same error. For me it looks it is failing on empty dirs. We are trying this on both win and solaris machines and getting the same problem.
Did someone got this functionality (which is very good!!!!) working smoothly?

Installation nightmare

I have purchased Intel version of solaris 8 , i am trying to install it on a 4GB drive,i create a Dos12 partition from 0 to 8 cylinders,x86 9 thru 16 cylinders,and the rest Solaris.The x86 is the active partion only.Upon finish copying the setup software the machine reboots and on the bottom left hand side i get a red box saying "Bad PBR".Anyone seen this, please help.

Yahoo! I finally got 8 installed on my intel box, on a spare 9GB disk. What a chore! The main problem turned out to be the Config Assistant diskette simply does not like my machine (and nobody else's either, judging from the authors in this forum).
I accidently had the Installation CD in the drive, without the config diskette inserted, while my SCSI was disconnected (desperation!). Upon re-boot, the monster began the config process. I eventually learned how to setup my boot process to first read diskette, then CD ROM, then SCSI instead of SCSI before CD ROM. I also learned to put that diskette away for keeps. Give it to someone you don't like.
I had previously formatted 1/3 of the new 9G disk with Windows. The Solaris config process recognized the start and stop cylinder count and allowed me to designate the start and end cylinders for Solaris right behind the windows partition on the same disk. This enabled me to successfully partition three GB for Solaris, (leaving the last 3GB for Linux). More good news, the installation did not disrupt the 1.5 GB of Windows files I had stored on the WIN portion of that disk.
I still have some chores to do, like get X windows / mouse etc running, install Star Office, etc. and arrange a switching software to enable me to boot either Win or Solaris at startup. I am able to use the Installation CD as a means to get to the boot display until then.
Those chores can't be as painful as just getting started, can they?
This install is not seamless. The installation CD finished it's task and didn't prompt me for the Software Disk 1 of 2. I rebooted with the Disk 1, and after some wasted, repeated effort, the disk successfully loaded it's stuff (in about 20 min). It did not prompt me to eject and stick in Disk 2. I had to fumble around and reboot the machine with Disk 2 installed. More wasted, repeated work, before the stuff on Disk 2 finally loaded (about 20 min.)
At one point, one of the Software disks prompted me to insert the "Localization" CD. In that whole kit, there aint one disk named "localization". I tried em all until it finally accepted the disk dealing with languages. It then ran quite a lengthy loading process.
I have been pecking at this task several times since June. Now that it's beginning to work, I must say that 8 seems to like my hardware OK, although there were some negative-sounding messages during a query of hardware and setup of my video.
I'm kind of new at this kind of experimentation, and took the trouble to write this all down in hope it eliminates part of the trial and error game for others.

Deleting a user does not delete profile

Hi,
I create user 'test' in the portal (Win Nt/Solaris, 3.0.8.9.1/3.0.8.9.2 - doesn't matter).
I then add 'test' to a group 'HR'.
I then delete the user 'test' from the edit user screen.
The PORTAL30.WWSEC_PERSON$ entry for 'test' remains.
I then create another user 'test'. This picks up any previous profile info such as the name (WHY?) and try to add the same user to the 'HR' group which now does not display user 'test' as a member.
This fails with the following error:
Unexpected Error in wwsec_app_group_mgr.edit_group - ORA-00001: unique constraint (PORTAL30.WWSEC_FLAT_UK) violated (WWC-41234)
Unexpected error encountered in wwsec_api.add_user_to_list (ORA-00001: unique constraint (PORTAL30.WWSEC_FLAT_UK) violated) (WWC-41417)
I've looked in the wwsec_member$, wwsec_flat$ and wwsec_group$ tables for clues. All seems ok in there...
This is pretty crazy. Oracle- any ideas.

Check out bugs 2003485 and 2159110 - these are all related. This will affect everyone using the portal it seems!

Re: Distributing JMF application

Just a guess:
Have you tried with cross platform JMF?

http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
Download -> Licence agreement ->
There are versions for win, lin, solaris and Cross Platform.
That last one shouldn't have any .dll/.so -dependencies....

CF Hosting - Windows or Linux?

I'm about to sign up for a Hostek accout to move my wife's website to. I noticed that they offer both IIS and Apache flavors, and I'm sort of wondering if it makes any difference at all.
Being a Linux user, I am used to things like Apache, CPanel, and unix permissions, but I have this idea in my mind (and maybe it's wrong) that CF was originally built around a Windows platform, and as such, IIS hosting would somehow be more "polished".
I probably would be fine chosing either option, but I was wondering if anyone here had any opinions either way.

Hi,
ColdFusion is released for Win/Linux/Solaris/Mac systems and is fully tested to run smoothly on these tested environments with reference to the web-servers.
You can go through the support matrix for the same, to ascertain the web servers versions for the specific CF version:
CF 9: http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf9_support_matrix_4_ue.pdf
CF10: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/products/coldfusion/pdfs/cf1 0/coldfusion10-support-matrix.pdf
Most of the people are on Win and IIS combination. But, the global environment scope of CF makes sure that, it is running on other systems with other web servers too.
HTH.

Dual boot (x86) Solaris 9 with Win Xp/ NT

Hello!
I wanted to have Solaris as well as any other OS. The problem is that according to the mutliboot guide provided by SUN, first I install Win Xp, and then Solaris. But during the installation, Solaris demands the entire disk to be used, while I go for the "default disk layout". I can't figure out how to specify a particular amount of disk space for solaris through FDISK. Maybe, i don;t know the layout to be followed. This is because if I make a solaris partition, it does not install on it....

Well I run WindowsXP and Solaris on the same box.
Cant understand whats the problem with it, so let me just describe the way I did it. (btw installation guid was not so helpful)
So at the point when you have to choose HD to install at, I think question before it was what sort of installation type you want (Default or Custom) Default will just use hole HD, while Custom will ask extra questions, conserning HD, partitions and so on. Just choose the right one, make sure that you devide space for Solaris in a way you need it rather then what just stands there (like more space for OS rather then private space and so on..)
Then finish install and thats it.
Hope it will help.
