Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Taking a long time to shut down
I had an issue with CUPS shutting down on my laptop (I'm running whatever is in the /dev repo). It would hang for a long time (a couple of minutes) and then fail. Once it failed then the rest of shutdown would complete. I disabled cups/scheduler and shutdown is quick as expected. I've seen people complaining about this in Linux too. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=139092 No explanation there. I have 8 or so printers defined. They are at different locations so I can never talk to all of them.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Suspend and Resume
I went through something similar with the system not suspending properly. My memory is a little fuzzy, but I think it was one of the /etc/system settings I tried. Currently I only have "set pci_enable_wakeup = 0" in my /etc/system. If you disable smb and remove all the /etc/system settings, what happens?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] [illumos-Discuss] branding for illumos/openindiana
I totally agree. OpenIndiana describes the distro quite well, since it is the opensource bits of the Solaris Indiana release; but the reference is totally lost to anyone not familiar with what OpenSolaris was. I think a Sun reference would be fitting. EclipseOS maybe? Can we put up a page on the wiki to record suggestions and vote on it after we get a few?

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Suspend and Resume
I'm running a T61p and suspend / resume is working for me. Does it do nothing when you try to suspend? If so you need to enable suspend resume support in /etc/power.conf: autopm default autoS3 default cpu-threshold 1s cpupmenable S3-support enable ...or does it go to sleep and then resume immediately? There is an issue introduced in b145 that you can work around by adding this to the end of your /etc/system file: set pci_enable_wakeup = 0 Note that this is kind of a hack and causes issues with being able to detect USB devices after resume... Thats not a big deal for me since I don't use any USB devices when I'm not docked, but could be a showstopper for a lot of people. See this thread: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=133674 Unfotunately the Oracle bug tracker is down (anyone know if this is permanent?), so you can't see the upstream status of these bugs.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Suspend and Resume
Yes, I think you're right about the vgatext driver. See this thread: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=91501 The last post says to try to try to put "set vgatext_force_suspend = 1" in the /etc/system file, or try the mdb command to set it to verify it will work first.

It was resolved by setting PKG_CLIENT_TIMEOUT=300 in my environment. I'm on a 50Mbps cable modem, so I don't think the issue is a bandwidth issue on my end.

I was seeing similar errors to Alexander and no environment variables would work around the issue this time. I did a snoop capture and the first thing I noticed is that the communication between my box and pkg.openindiana.org was ipv6. I disabled ndp and tried again, this time everything went perfect and took less than 15 minutes. Previously it was taking nearly an hour. Seems like there is an issue with ipv6 somewhere.

My personal view of the open sourcing of Solaris 11 is that someone in Sun wanted to make sure that the OS that had so much invested in it would have an opportunity to continue to flourish. Things weren't going so well for Sun back in 2005, it was pretty clear that if the Sun hardware wasn't going to make enough money, the OS development would be impacted severely. The roots of Solaris go back to the beginning of Not that Sun was such a great company, but there were a lot of fantastic developers there. Anyone I talked to that knew the kernel development teams, said something along the lines of "they're the smartest people I know". Sun incubated that talent and tried to make its money from hardware sales. There are still a lot of fantastic people that stayed on when Oracle took over. What is scaring everyone is what will Oracle do with Solaris in 5 years, will there even be a Solaris 12? Maybe someday, OI/Illumos will not be seen as the fork... I think its appropriate to honor the company that brought us this great OS!

There is no driver built into oi-151a for it. I've tried the "run" driver which seems to be pretty close to working. See http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ I recompiled version 0.8.5 and installed it. Added my driver alias: update_drv -a -i '"usb13b1,2f"' run ... but the microcode fails to load when I plug in the usb stick. I have been meaning to contact the driver author Masa, to see if we can figure it out, but I've been too busy.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] auto-snapshot replicate problems
I had issues using the auto-snapshots for "syncing". I actually was just
sending regular snapshots from my OI laptop to my OI server.
I wrote a little perl script that might do what you need.
The basic concepts I use are to
1) Use a unique snapshot prefix for my "backup" snapshots
2) Only keep one "backup" snapshot on my laptop at any time
3) If the snapshot is missing anywhere, resend the whole filesystem
My script is a perl script, but below is a walk through of the zfs commands
I used. The script is run from the sending machine.
I gave up on using the auto-snapshots for this once I realized that I
couldn't reliably predict when snapshots got cleaned up and especially when
auto-snapshots failed to be created. I still use auto-snapshots for its
original purpose, to take frequent local snapshots. The local snapshots
don't interfere with my backup snapshots and vice versa.
Basic logic is below:
# Loop through all of my zfs filesystems
zfs list -o name | while read zfspart
# Create a new snapshot on my laptop to send over to my server
zfs snapshot ${zfspart}@backup-${timestamp}
#store the name of the new snapshot in $zfssnap
# Get the latest snapshot on my server for this filesystem
zfssnapold=`ssh $host /usr/sbin/zfs list -Ho name -t snapshot | grep
"backup/laptop/$zfspart\@backup-" | sort | tail -1 `
#Check that the latest snapshot matches the earliest snapshot on my laptop
#if they match then send an incremental backup and then delete the old
local snapshot
zfs send -i $zfssnapold $zfssnap | ssh -C $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs recv
-F backup/laptop/$zfspart
zfs destroy $zfssnapold
#if they don't match and there is no local snapshot (but there is one on
the server); delete the remote snapshot and send the whole filesystem
ssh $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs destroy backup/laptop/$zfssnapold
zfs send $zfssnap | ssh -C $host pfexec /usr/sbin/zfs recv -F
backup/laptop/$zfspart
#if there is no snapshot on the server, then just send the whole filesystem
zfs send $zfssnap | ssh -C $host /usr/sbin/zfs recv -F
backup/laptop/$zfspart
Best of luck John!

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] weird packet garbling problem
Thanks Jim! I've seen similar behavior to what Ed described on a Solaris 10 Sparc box (V445) that is in a remote office. I'll try that setting and see if it resolves my issue. I was VNCing in to an OI box in my office from my laptop via VPN and sshing in to the V445 box to kick off some backup scripts (which take a long time to run, due to the slow link to this office). Oddly enough I never had any issues with the automounter or nfs share I was backing up the V445 to. One issue was with the ssh connection between my OI desktop and the V445 dropping out (note there is very little text output in my backup script) after an hour or two. My other issue was having the VNC drop out between my laptop and desktop. It was setup as a persistent session, so no big deal, just annoying. I think the V445 interfaces are bge and the OI desktop is e1000g.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] minimum swap requirements for VirtualBox on OI
Greetings, What are the minimum swap space requirements to use openindiana as a VirtualBox host? According to the wiki documentation (http://wiki.openindiana.org/oi/7.2+VirtualBox) in order to *run* VirtualBox VMs, available on-disk swap space is required (sized as the VM's RAM size), even if the swap space is not really actively used. It appears the OI installer defaults the swap to 50% RAM size during install. Seems like setting swap size at 100% RAM size is a safer bet for a Virtualbox host. What have others set swap at, particularly on systems with lots of RAM hosting many VirtualBox VM's? Thanks, /Jake ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
