Hi !
I have just installed ultrapenguin 1.1 on a sun4u and have some bugs
comments suggentions to report .
Kernel version is 2.1.99 ( were do i get new kernels ?)
Problems:
- The installation via ftp://ultra.linux.cz reported two packages
missing ( or corrupt):
sh-utils-1.16-8.sparc.rpm
sparc64-linux-binutils-2.8.1-5.sparc.rpm
-Problems with the autofs script cause getmounts is missing ( probably
contens of sh-utils ? )
- Icons in control-panel were not displayed.
A survey with strace reported that the files were present and could
be opened and read !
It also cannot be a problem with the colormap cause xv could display
the icons without
private colormap .
- Somtimes screen is corrupted when switching vt between console and X
Display .
The Display is the a mixture of the console and the X screen.
- Another Problem with vt switching is, that ctrl sometimes gets locked
when you switch vt from
console to X with ctrl-alt- F12 and not simply with alt-F12
- Shutting down the Xserver seems to bee very slow and does not switch
back to the vt startet
from , so a user could assume the server has locked .
- I am a little bit confused about the development state of the solaris
binary emulation module.
The first thing is that i am not very sure about the setup of the
emulator.
I copied shared solaris libs to /usr/gnemul/solaris/usr/lib and
/usr/gnemul/solaris/usr/openwin/lib.
The i exuted modprobe solaris as root and tried some binaries.
Some of the console binaries ran but telnet reported
ioctl I_FIND ttcompat: Bad file number
I tried a simple X application then ( xeyes ) :
bash-2.01$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
bash-2.01$ ./xeyes
Error: Can't open display: :0.0
bash-2.01$
when i ran it as root the complete machine has locked up ( i tried
it two times ;) )
Question :
Do i need additional ibcs2 package to run solaris binaries or is
all includet ??
I didn't try the ibcs2 cause the released date of the package
was much before the
release date of this ultrapenguin distribution.
Suggenstions:
- I was able to install via ftp but glint is not able to reconfiure
the packages via ftp !
( I tried a URL as a path and pressed the available button in
glint but it didn't work )
Wishes:
We have the best wishes for the Ultrapenguin developer Team and if we
can get netscape
running we will UPGRADE ;) our whole sparc pool to linux .
Have fun :)
ciao

ps: We were not able to configure silo to boot the old solaris 2.5 but
that doesn't matter ;)
