Solaris 10 u7 Problems

I have just installed Solaris 10 u7 onto a fairly generic PC and have two problems I wonder if someone could
help me solve.

1)  Patch 121431-38 doesn't install and tells me to read the README and to do it manually.  I can only find
121431-38.jar and not a README file.  Do I need this patch (I am running ZFS root) and, if so, how do I install
it.  I read the info at SunSolve about it but am no further enlightened.

2) oss sound.  No sound "out of the box" so I downloaded and installed the OpenSOurce oss driver and it plays
music when I run osstest but the little speaker icon at bottom-right still has a red line through it and
claims it cannot open mixer device /dev/audioctl.  Do I need to link something to something?  All
oss-related entries in the messages file are copied below.

Cheers,

Nick

Color laser printer?

I have been looking for a good networked color laser printer for
Opensolaris.  I was given a used HP 2600n printer, but I found out that
it is a host-based printer and there isn't a driver for it in the
selection of printers in the Opensolaris printer manager.  The HP 2605n
driver won't work because the 2605n *has* a printer-based engine.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good color laser printer that
works "out of the box" with Opensolaris?  I want a cheap, good-quality
printer for small office use in the $250 - $800 range.

Thanks,

Scott

OSOL-b117

I'm _so_ happy with b117. At last my multimedia plugins in firefox work!
Streaming radio/audio, (windows/apple) video. The plugins work very
well. This alone makes the update wothwhile for me. Gnome-2.26.2 rocks.

memory error?

Woke up to find my old workhorse Sol 9 system had rebooted
after being up for months.

From the system messages I pulled the lines below
(shortened by removing timestamp/hostname).
I presume they indicate a memory error (guessing
MCE == Memory Controller Error).

Assistance finding drivers for Marvell Yukon 88E8038

pci bus 0x0002 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x11ab device 0x4352
 Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8038 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller

That's the result of scanpci. I'm not new to OpenSolaris, but I am new
to rolling my own drivers.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Jagged Fonts

I have a strange problem.

I have two boxes running Solaris 0509 both have Kde3.5.5 on them, 
however on one of the boxes some of the KDE fonts are jagged, on the 
other the fonts are good, any guesses ?

Thanks in advance

Bob

patching s10 with zones and zfs

I'm in doubt. I have a whole lot of patches to comply to sol10 U7 but I
want to do this *SAFE*

Do I create snapshots to fall back to (if the upgrade fails)?
-OR- do I create a new BE? But how do I patch that one? Boot into it
and patch? Or patch from the running BE, luactivate it and boot into
the new patched environment. "zfs list" gives:

arwen# zfs list

Slow zone startup with update 7

I have an x4540 with a number of zones running Solaris 10 update 7.

After booting, the non-global zones take a very long (several minutes) 
time to start.

They slowly transition from installed to ready (each one takes several 
minutes) and then to running.  The machine is idle during this time.

I haven't seen this on older versions.

Any ideas?

Thanks


 I would like to express my gratitude to Sun's Xorg, Gnome and Boomer (sound) teams with the recent changes in
builds 115 and 116. I have a better performing desktop with
media features that I've wanted in Solaris for a long time.

What is the Java Web Console


On my last job we were using Solaris 7 and 8, so I am way behind the times. So I brought Solaris Management
Console and there is a lot for me to learn there. Now I see the Java Web Console. What are all these new
management tools. I am so used to the command line.
