Linux Server not broadcasting?


I have an "unsupported" FOG that contains bot Solaris Sparc and Linux on 
a private VLAN. From the utgstatus on the Solaris servers it appears 
that the linux server is not broadcasting:

root <at> solar> utgstatus 
       ~
hostflags    interface     flags    interface     flags
              170.140.150.0/23       192.168.7.0/24
---------    -------------------    -------------------
solar  TN    170.140.150.23  U--    192.168.7.1     UAM
flare  TN    170.140.150.11  U--    192.168.7.2     UAM
linray TN    170.140.150.21  U--    192.168.7.3     -AM

But all is well from the linux side:

root <at> linray:/opt/SUNWut/bin# /opt/SUNWut/sbin/utgstatus
hostflags    interface     flags    interface     flags
              170.140.150.0/23       192.168.7.0/24
---------    -------------------    -------------------
linray TN    170.140.150.21  U--    192.168.7.3     UAM
flare  TN    170.140.150.11  U--    192.168.7.2     UAM
solar  TN    170.140.150.23  U--    192.168.7.1     UAM

This appears to be related to the firestarter firewall issue as when I 
turn it off all things seem ok. Anyone have any experience with 
firestarter on Ubuntu 7.10 and a failover group? I have it running in a 
dual nic situation.

Running SRSS 4 09/07 and uttsc 2.0 on linux with XKB enabled: experience and some questions

I have sunrays with with three types of keyboards attached:
1. Sun international (russian) type 6 keyboards.
2. Sun international (russian) type 7 keyboards.
3. PC keyboards with russian layout.

I installed  SRSS 4 09/07 and uttsc 2.0 with 12755-01 and 127558-01 patches 
applied. Then installed xkbdata to /usr/share/X11/xkb and
created simlinks in /opt/SUNWut/lib/xkb running script 
http://wiki.sun-rays.org/images/2/26/Xkbinstall.sh. SRSS was configured with
XKB enabled.

After installation I faced with following problems:

1. Russian layout on pc keyboard is not working.
 Solution found:
 A) Run command
 setxkbmap -keycodes "sun(type6tuv_usb)" -types "default" -compat "default" \ 
-symbols "sun/us(type5)+sun/ru" -geometry "sun(type6tuv)"`
 B) Or edit /opt/SUNWut/lib/keytables/xkbtable.map and replace line
  6 33 sun/all(US6_usb) type6_usb us
 with
  6 33 sun/all(Russia6_usb) type6_euro_usb ru

2. Backslash on PC keyboard is not working.
Solution: xmodmap -e "keycode 53 = backslash bar"

3. Switching keyboard layout.
 It's possible to switch keyboard layout with mouse and some XKB-aware applet 
(for example "Keyboard Indicator" applet in Gnome).
Also it's possible to type in russian by pressing and holding "Alt Graph" -

I have something similar (2x Linux, 1x Solaris) and it seems to work

 host  flags    interface     flags    interface     flags

I made a live upgrade from Solaris 10 to Nevada build 84 and it went 
really smooth. Live upgrade automatically preserved most of the configuration
(including all of the SunRay stuff). I had to reconfigure ldapclient
but the rest was fine.
There was one small problem with the Windows connector: Nevada provides 
libcrypto.so.0.9.8, and uttsc wants libcrypto.so.0.9.7, so I  installed 
the Blastwave package.

Now I have a Gnome which looks much better than JDS or blastwave's gnome. 
Does anyone know where to get a recent KDE-3 (i.e., 3.5.7 .. 3.5.9) 
for Solaris/x86?

Speed of USB stick

Hello,

we have a linux server (Fedora 8) with SRSS 3.1.1 and six SunRays: 1 x 
SR 2FS, 2 x SR 2 and 3 x SR 1. My colleagues complain about slow copying 
to USB sticks. We use vfat on the sticks. I tried to copy a large 
directory (72MB) to a USB stick attached to SR 2FS and it took approx. 
36 minutes, which means 1MB in 30 seconds. My colleagues say that the 
copying is even slower on their SunRays. Is it normal? Or what should I 
check to find the bottleneck?

Re: Speed of USB stick

I forgot to mention how the stick is mounted:

vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,dirsync,uid=6001,gid=111,check=r)

I don't know for sure (For some reason I'm thinking Sunrays use OSS for Audio, but I could be wrong and probably am).  I've never tried using it in conjuction with a Sunray. We run our Sunrays on Solaris so not an option really.

I'm currently tasked with researching ways to allow our users to use Skype. All of our users have a Sunray and a desk phone. I'm looking at products like Vosky, Skip2pbx, SkyStone to get Skype to work using our existing phones and PBX. I'm leaning more towards the Linux based Skip2pbx solution myself.

I'm also looking at SIP trunking too. On the SIP Softphone vs Skype Software front, I have had limited success on a Sunray. I loaded up an Asterisk vmware image on my Mac and ran SIP Communicator from a Sunray. I was able to get SIP Communicator to work from a Sunray, connect to the Asterisk server, audio, etc. Well, I was able to get my mic to work from a Sunray 1G but on a Sunray 2FS, the mic didn't work. Could of just been the cheap mic I was using I suppose.
 
 
Hi Aaron,
 
Just let me get this thread back on top again ;)
I am curious if you made any progress towards a Solution for having some kind of VOIP capabilities on a Sunray (Solaris).
 
There must be someone on this list whom already tried Skype on Linux? Possitive results?

actually, is there any way I can detect a power cycle from within my
application? I have tried utaction but somehow that does not work.

Have you tried http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/kde/ or
http://solaris.kde.org/ ?

Re: SunRays and Skype

Can't say that I have. My VoIP project got put on hold. Coincidentally that got pushed back to the top of my list of things to do today.
We're pretty much sticking to a traditional phone approach. Hooking up our PBX to an Asterisk box that in turn has SIP trunks to a SIP provider.

I did go to the Skype forums and request they port it to Solaris. I would suggest anyone who is interested in Skype on Solaris do so also.

Closest thing I have been able to get working on a Sunray is still SIP Communicator.

That was all in a test environment though. Haven't tried it a real world scenario though with all my users.

I wouldn't mind if someone ported Ekiga to Solaris 10 though. It's available on OpenSolaris, but alas my work won't allow us to use OpenSolaris.
