[osol-discuss] problem with Xvnc on snv_117

2009-06-27 Thread Hamed
Hi! I'm not sure if I do it correctly, but I can't get Xvnc to work at build 117. When VNC session is opened and the gnome window is asking me for user and password, the hole window turns into "white screen" after that I have logged in. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org __

I've had bad RAM in some of my OpenSolaris boxes before and the bad RAM has caused ZFS to detect "phantom disk errors" when I do zpool scrubbing (i.e. ZFS detects that there's an error somewhere in the process of reading data from the disk and checksumming it). I recommend try testing the RAM w

YukonX for the win. Been using it ever since I got rid of the broken skge driver I had before and haven't had any problems since. Good job to whoever the engineer was who wrote yukonx. Solaris is way ahead of the NIC device driver pack now considering all the problems I've had with these Marvel

do i have to get ahold of an exactly identical mobo, or will osol tolerate a mobo by a different manufacturer, but with the same chipset... or would it refuse to even boot? should i just bear the pain of buying an identical spare mobo, cpu, ram, psu, so that i'm ready should the worst happen?

Hi, After exploring OSOL2010.02-b117 yesterday, I noticed a weird error in my mouse clicks and scrolling while working with the gnome panels. This was something that didn't happen in the previous releases. I figured this might be one of the bugs in GNOME 2.26.1. Well, I figured rather than wait

Tried twice today. Both times happened the same. There are some messages and little space left (about 900m) during install. (upgrading from 111b) Other than that all goes well. Then when reboot, on console login I can write in correct script (latin, what you are reading now), wait until GUI login
