Hello,


I have installed the solaris10 on an x40 ibm. I have two problems with jds.
1st. when i insert a cd or dvd the system ejects the media. I have configured the system not to mount the dvdrom automaticaly and it works.
is there any patch to use or an specific configuration?
2nd. mozilla dosent start. in cde it works perfectly.

thanx

>> .. when i insert a cd or dvd the system ejects the media

Is it the case with all CD/DVDs? - In other words, is the failure rate 100%?

If you have other OS installed on the same system, does it recognize the CD/DVD {now}? and are you able to play the media files?

On Solaris 10: If "vold" is running, you can try stopping it with "/etc/init.d/volmgt stop"; and then mount the media manually, and then try to open up any of the files that are on CD/DVD.

>> 2nd. mozilla dosent start

Did you try to launch it from command line?

100% failure

in windowsxp, it works perfectly.

I have already done so. When i mount it manualy it works perfectly

i tried mozilla (nothing) & whereis mozilla (nowhere) commands

i will try pkgrm and pkgadd


PS please notice that mozilla works on cde.

thanx

100% failure .. in windowsxp, it works .. When i mount it manualy it works

Then it must be some "vold" related issue. Did you check the output of "dmesg" for any clues?

'vold' needs smserver to be running. So, make sure smserver is enabled.

eg.,
% svcs -l smserver
fmri svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default
name removable media management
enabled true
state online
next_state none
state_time Thu 18 Aug 2005 11:45:25 AM PDT
restarter svc:/network/inetd:default
dependency require_all/restart svc:/network/rpc/bind (online)

If it is not enabled, enable it by running "svcadm enable network/rpc/smserver" command.

eg.,
% svcadm -v enable network/rpc/smserver
svc:/network/rpc/smserver:default enabled.

Looks like /usr/sfw/bin is not in your $PATH. Try running /usr/sfw/bin/mozilla directly from command line; and if it works, just add it to $PATH.

% setenv PATH /usr/sfw/bin:$PATH
% which mozilla
/usr/sfw/bin/mozilla
