Y2k10 problem in older Solaris versions?

Hi,
Looks like the Solaris versions prior to the version 2.6 (SunOS 5.6)
have a problem of year 2010.
They just don't boot in a single user mode from the installation cd,
hanging after detection of serial ports (zs1 is /obio/zs@0,0), when
/devices directory should be configured.
At least the version 2.5.1 hangs in the emulator when the system date
is > 2009.12.20. Can anyone confirm or disprove this on a real
hardware?
Regards,

Around the version 8 timeframe a feature was added to maintain the state of the form when it was saved. Before that time it was up to the Developer of the form to write code into the form to maintain the state of the form when it was opened. I believe that this is what you ar experiencing (but it is hard to tell without seeing the form in action).

Download older solaris version

Hello,
Where can I donload older solaris version. I need U8.
Thanks

You might have to buddy up with someone that works for Oracle. I don't think it's available externally but it is available internally within Sun/Oracle...

Solaris 8 on a v440 where do I get drivers for older solaris version?

I have a db cluster of v880s on Solaris 8. I need to temporarily move the database to a v440. I created a flash archive on the v880s and, of course, it didn't work after installing (got tod error and couldn't boot). I know this is because it is too old a version of Solaris. My question is, can I apply the new drivers to the v880 and then create a new flar image? If so, where do I get the drivers? Also, is there any way to apply the drivers to a system that has been imaged already with a flar from a v880? Can I apply them as a post-install script under jumpstart? Can I somehow boot from cdrom and then apply them? Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is a fairly urgent matter as we have a firm date with movers that can't be changed.

Hmm, the V440 is a quite old box as well, so it should work with Solaris 8 7/03 or older.
There are three alternatives as far as i can see:
1: What version of Solaris 8 are you using? If you are using 7/03 or later it should be sufficent if you booted the V440 into singleuser mode (from cd/dvd or network) mounted the disk and ran devfsadm -R on it.
2: If the Solaris 8 would be older than 7/03, you should, as far as i can see, be able to install the flar archives from your jumpstart, and then boot of a Solaris 8 7/03 (or later) cd and run an upgrade from it.
3: Apply the following patches, either to your 880 before you create the image, or to your V440 after installing the flar (you would have to apply the patches from single-user as mentioned inn step 1, it should be possible to add the patches from a jumpstart image using the patchadd -R command).

Updating to signed JARs causes problems for older Java versions?

Bear with me on this one -- not a Java developer, but an end user of Java products looking for a little clarification.
We use a product which delivers a Java application via JAR file / web to end users (GlobalScape's EFT server). With the recent release of Java 7 Update 51, users have been running into issues running these JAR files as they are not properly "signed". We're working with the vendor to get updated signed JAR files in place, but they've warned us that these new JAR files will cause errors (or maybe not work at all) on folks who aren't running Java 7 Update 51.
Trying to wrap my head around why that might be. Best theory I can come up with from perusing threads here along with the Java team blogs is that the new security attributes used in the updated JAR files aren't "trusted" by older versions of Java (prior to Update 51?).
We're pushing our vendor for clarification, but curious if someone here could help explain.
Thanks!

I suspect the problem with 'new JAR files will cause errors' is mainly because the vendor keeps enhancing their product, and may not any more support older JREs, or the new jars are no more compatible For example, we build our product on JDK 1.5 ... as some users out there must use that one because the 'newer and better' release does not work for them.
But so far, we have not seen any problems running the 'JRE 7 Compliant' applications on older releases ... provided you can make your application run on latest JRE 7.
In most cases, one can simply remove the previous signature, add (now required) attributes, and sign the same jar again.
But I have yet to find a vendor that would simply add attributes to some older release and re-sign those. Perhaps they can't repeat the build / QA cycle, and would not 'trust' the re-signed jars.
Our curse are signed Cryptographic Provider jars.
Those must be signed by certificates rooted by Sun/Oracle, and adding attributes invalidates that signature - we can re-sign them, but then they won't work. In our case, we are stuck with 5+ year old Bouncy Castle jars, and it does not help us that their 'current' jars are signed with attributes - they are completely incompatible..
IMHO, Oracle failed to think this all thru - or does not care.

Problem Installing older version of Adobe Flash Player Activixe (example vers.10 to 9)?

Hello everyone, I have the problem that I do not know how to install an older version of Flash ActiveX, since trying to install version 9, or even 10.0
.45, the error that comes out is not a recent version, and does not allow you to continue with the installation, prompting you to go to the site and download the latest one.
The Flash Player Plugin installed, but only with that will not start the program that I want to start ..
Before you install and uninstall the previous version of the ActiveX plugin, make sure there is no file flash.ocx (which are usually in C: windows/system32/macromed/flash), disconnect the computer from the Internet, all gate installation files of the most recent flash, everything from the pc, temporary reboot, install the older version but I always leave that mistake, I can not install older versions of Flash.
I have to install older versions of flash10 eun to start the program, but I can not continue. Someone can suggest how to install a previous version of flash blessed ..?
Thank you all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year ... a little early.: (
See if you can figure out how do they install?
Giorg

Before installing an older FP version you must completely uninstall your current version.
download the unistaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
close all browser windows and run the downloaded uninstaller
restart Windows
delete any remaining files in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash or C:\Windows\syswow64\Macromed\Flash (64-bit)
install the old FP version
P.S. why do you want to install an old Flash Player?

Older itune version 10.6 trying to reinstall, library problem?

I reinstalled older itune version 10.6 on Win7 after I reformatted the drive.
1. Now i have a library problem? the itunes will not open and i get a message "itunes library.itl" is from newer pgm. how can i work around it?
2. i want to restore my itunes music library like it was before with the old libray i had from my backup, how can i do that?

your serial number is for an upgrade version. you need to prove you have a qualifying upgrade product.
after you enter your upgrade serial number and the installer failing to find a previous version, you should be given the option to choose the previous version and enter its (the older version's) serial number.
if that's not working, what version are you trying to install and why didn't the above work?

Are you saying that the tick-box shown in my screenshot, isn't there? (Yes, this is iTunes 11 - I've turned on the sidebar and the Menu bar. So you can see, this is a CD in my drive that we're looking at.)
If it isn't, go to Edit/Preferences/General and turn on the tick-box box

InDesign CS6 has the same problem of older versions HWNDBasedPanelView UID:410841

Hi all,
I have had the same problem with InDesign CS5.
When InDesign starts it opens two windows as shown in the screenshoot.
The only way I know to solve the problem is deleting the InDesign preferences.
But why I should have the same problem with a new version of InDesign
Tks

Adobe Reader for Windows Phone cannot open older PDF versions?

I've found that Adobe Reader for Windows Phone displays the following error when I try to open certain PDF documents: "There was an error opening the document".
After doing some limited testing I found that it can successfully open PDF documents which were saved as "PDF version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)", but the error appears when it tries to open documents saved as the older format "PDF version: 1.3 (Acrobat 4.x)". (I am checking the filetype version by opening the documents in Adobe Reader X on my PC and looking at the document properties).
My phone is a HTC 7 Mozart running Windows Phone 7.5. I noticed the problem when I was using the SkyDrive app to try and look at some PDF files I have saved in SkyDrive. SkyDrive downloads the file and then passes it to the Adobe Reader app to view. It works when I look at a newer version 1.5 PDF but not the older v1.3 type. Unfortunately my HP Photosmart 5510 scanner outputs scans as PDF files and only in the older file version.
I've tried reinstalling the SkyDrive app and the Adobe Reader app on my phone. (The Adobe Reader app is version 10.1.1, build 20120919).
Is this a known limitation, or is this a bug?
If this is a limitation that won't be fixed - is there an easy way I can convert my files to the newer file type? (Adobe Reader X on my PC doesn't seem to offer a way to convert existing files)
Thanks!

Problems with multiple TestStand versions on the same computer

I installed LabVIEW 2014 and TestStand 2014; then later I installed TestStand 2010 SP1 and have been using it since. (I also updated LabVIEW 2014 to 14.0f1; I think I did that after installing TestStand 2010 SP1.) Is this "legal?" I have been seeing strange behavior with TestStand 2010 SP1:
- if I type in any expression text boxes in the Sequence Editor (e.g., for a pre-expression), I periodically get an error dialog as I type:
"The .NET support dll could not be loaded. This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved. Error Code: -18700, The .NET support dll could not be loaded. This is caused by an assembly path that could not be resolved! Source: 'TSAPI'
After I acknowledging the dialog, I can contine to type a little more before getting the dialog again, but it doesn't seem to invalidate anything I type.
- If I open the Simple LabVIEW Simple User Interface that ships with TestStand 2014 while TestStand 2010 SP1 is active, LabVIEW immediately crashes. I can open all the subVIs without a problem, but the top-level VI always crashes LabVIEW.
So I used the TestStand Version Switcher to make TestStand 2014 active, opened the top-level Simple UI VI, and deleted all the UI controls. Then I switched back to TestStand 2010 SP1, and then I was able to open the top-level VI. I added back the TestStand UI controls to the VI, and now the VI runs. But many operations return a TestStand error dialog, such as Close Execution ("Value invalid or out of range [Error Code: -17300]"), Logout ("Cannot find item to select in ComboBox [Error Code: -2147467259]"), and (critically) Exit ("Operation Failed. Error Code: -17500]") and the X in the upper right corner of the window ("Operation Failed. Unknown System Error in <VI name>"). So I can't exit without killing LabVIEW.
These two issues may be unrelated. But maybe installing an older version of TS after installing a newer version is not a valid use case? Is the ActiveX error a result of this? Should it be possible to use a (simple) UI written for a newer version of TestStand be able to work with an older version of TestStand?
I have another issue that is probably unrelated, but I'll bring it up here just for completeness. If I right-click on a LV property node or invoke node for a property or method from the TS API and ask for help for the property or method, a command window flashes briefly before showing the TS help window with the top-level item selected (i.e., it doesn't take me to the help for the selected property or method). I have this problem with either version of TS active, and I saw this problem even before I installed TS 2010 SP1. I seem to recall having this problem once before, but I can't find the solution. I don't know if this problem is an indication of some other larger problem.
For what it's worth, I am running WIndows 8.1 on a virtual machine.

Thanks for the information, Doug. Maybe the ActiveX error dialog I get while in the sequence editor is related to the fact that I'm running an unsupported operating system.
So using a UI that was created in a newer version of TS is not supposed to be able to run with an older version of TS. Is there any way to enforce this (like having a dialog appear informing you of the incompatibility when the TS engine is loaded) and avoid an immediate crash? (Maybe the crash has to do with the incomaptible OS as well.)
Is there a way to "relink" a UI to an older version of TestStand? Can you just relink all the ActiveX reference controls/constants to the TS ActiveX servers? As far as I can tell, everything I am trying to do with the new TS version should work with the old version. And also, as far as I can tell, the TS version switcher changes the version of the available ActiveX server; so unless my UI uses a feature unavailable in older TS versions, I would think it shouldn't know the difference. (I'm making a lot of assumptions in that last statement, so I may be totally wrong here.)
Thanks,
Jeff

Where are the older BIOS versions gone?

Hi
A few weeks back, I've upgraded the BIOS on my Pavilion G6 1001sq to the latest version (F66). I noticed that the laptop is running considearbly hotter since then and I want to revert to an older BIOS version. When I go to the updates page on the HP website and click on "older versions available" I can only see the F66 version on the page I'm directed to ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/previousVersions?softwareitem=ob-115746-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4... ), although a long list with many versions was available till recently. Where are the older versions gone?

Unfortunately, I do not know where they have gone. HP is working on issues with the suport and driver servers at the moment.
Since your notebook does have the UEFI Diagnostics installed, you should be able to rollback to the previous version that was installed. Use the firmware management option to do that.

Is Anyone Having Problems with the newer version of Firefox?

I still have my older Mac OsXv10.4 Tiger software. I wasn't exactly happy with Safari browser as it would block many sites and were considered incompatible so I downloaded the free Firefox browser (the 2.0 version) of which I STILL have. I'm aware that there is a much newer version and would like to download that, but I've heard a lot of people saying they have been having severe problems with it, but then they have PCs and not Macs.
So my question is for you Mac users that use Firefox, have you had major problems with the newer version? I'm real hesitant to download if I'm going to have the same problem PC users are having...like constantly crashing. Also would my old Tiger software be compatible? I don't want to upgrade to Leopard.

Yes. I had problems with Firefox 3.5. The primary problem was very slow or never-ending loading of certain websites (particularly secure sites and sites with many features). I also have had similar, but not as bad, problems with Safari 4. I never had these problems with Safari 2 or Firefox 2. It just seems that with each update, the problems increased for me. I have read the Safari and Firefox forums and tried many fixes with little improvement. I have come to the conclusion that there is some kind of compatibility problem between the latest versions of Safari and Firefox and Shockwave Flash and/or Javascript and OS 10.4, particularly on PPC Macs. I expect there are many who will disagree and I cannot argue or prove the point. This is just my opinion. And I recognize that my problems could be caused by my setup and not by the browsers. By the way, I do not use any add-ons with any of my browsers. Anyway, I got tired of dealing with it and installed the latest version of Camino about 2 weeks ago. I also did a clean install of Firefox 3.0.13. Camino is working out great for me. It is simple and it works. No problems at all. So currently I am using Camino as my primary browser and Firefox 3.0.13 as my backup. I hope this helps.

Final Cut Pro 7 not recognizing Sony HDV Deck on older 2008 version MacPro's

I am trying to connect a Sony HDV deck to Final Cut Pro version 7 on an older 2008 version MacPro. The problem was with the firewire mini port on the back i believe because i used a different deck which was the same model - but the only difference was it had a firewire 400 port instead of mini firewire port. Anyway, the deck with the 400 firewire port worked for logging and capturing, etc... (this also worked when i re-tested it on the 2008 MacPro) Im wondering if anyone else has had problems with the firewire mini port on the Sony HDV deck because it seems like almost every HDV deck i have with mini firewire has problems connecting to final cut pro or any editing application. I know now that the deck i had in question the mini port is not working correctly but is there a way to fix this or prevent the cable - deck from terminating the connection with the mini cable being used. I dont need an answer to the deck problem because i figured it out but just wondering if anyone has some insight on this deck problem. Thank you...
Kyle

>I dont need an answer to the deck problem ... just wondering if anyone has some insight on this deck problem
So you don't want an answer, just insight. OK, I'll give it a go. I've had several Sony VTRs with the 4pin Firewire port (proper name for what you refer to as "mini"), which is the same type of port that most DV and HDV cameras use as well. One of the main things you need to be wary of is plugging in and unplugging a Firewire cable while either the device or the computer is powered on. I know that marketing hype claims that Firewire is hot swap-able, but it really isn't safe to do so. The pins in both the 4 pin connector as well as the 6 pin connectors are very close together and if they aren't aligned exactly right with the socket, can easily cause arching and damage a Firewire port on either or both ends. Is that the kind of insight you were looking for?
