OpenSolaris Community&Adoption The courage to innovate

I always want to show some cool stuff to my friends in OpenSolaris, so I need badly to record the screen.

Check out here : http://code.google.com/p/recordmysolaris/

This tool can help you to record the screen. But it doesn't have the " Finish" Button, I work around this with command " pfexec pkill recordmysolaris " .

Another problems is that this tool requires OSS audio driver. So you need to remove the original driver and install OSS.

使用这个工具可以方便的在OpenSolaris进行屏幕录制。唯一的缺陷是没有停止的按钮或快捷键，至少我没找到。所以每次我都使用如下命令进行停止： pkill recordmysolaris。这个工具有个毛病，它需要用 OSS声卡驱动。所以必须先卸载原有的驱动，装上OSS.

Due to liscense issue,Rhythmbox doesn't work very well in OpenSolaris,it can not play .mp3 defaultly.
You just need a library for it. Here is how I fix it.
1. download the library : https://shop.fluendo.com/

2. copy the library to another folder.
-----------------------------------------
cp libgstflump3dec.so /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/
-------------------------------------------------
3. Test if it works now. enjoy

After I install the latest OpenSolaris snv_100, my audio doesn't work,although it appears that it has a driver.But it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!
Here is how I fix this problem.
1. Download the OSS package (http://www.opensound.com/solaris.html)
2. Remove the original audio driver:
-------------------------------------------------
root@sun_ricky:~# modinfo | grep aud
168 fffffffff80f4ca0  29b18 261   1  hdaudio (OSS 4.0 (b1016/200806171344))
216 fffffffff8364000   3a18 242   1  lx_audio (linux audio driver)
225 fffffffff855d000   3988   -   1  audiosup (Audio Device Support %I%)
---------------------------------------------------
Suppose your audio driver name  is " hdaudio "
Input the following command to remove it.
-----------------------------------------------
root@sun_ricky:~# rem_drv hdaudio
-------------------------------------
3. Reboot
4. install OSS package.
--------------------------------
pkgadd -d ./oss-solaris-v4.0-1016-i386.pkg
----------------------------------
5. Test it! Enjoy your music

When I upgrade my OpenSolaris(Actually,I reinstall it) to svn_99,I found that the command : " zfs list" doens't show the snapshots .

Enjoy,OpenSolaris sometime supprises you a little bit

对于笔记本用户，OpenSolaris下正规的禁用触摸板(touchpad)方式，我还不知道。
前几天 Fang说，她在写邮件时，光标老是跳行，主要的原因是手总不小心会碰到触摸屏。
所以，问题解决方法就是把它给禁用。

方式如下：
第一步，查找 touchpad的模块加载信息，如下 。
bash-3.2# modinfo | grep mou
 60 fffffffff7970000   2e58  15   1  mntfs (mount information file system)
102 fffffffff7b1f4e0    c50 116   1  mouse8042 (PS/2 Mouse 1.48, 05/10/25)
103 fffffffff802e000   2408   -   1  vuid3ps2 (mouse events to vuid events)
120 fffffffff8072000   2e08   -   1  usbms (USB mouse streams 1.26)

这个是在查找内核模块的信息，其中第二行即为触摸屏的信息。其ID号为 102

第二步， 卸载 touchpad的模块，用 modunload命令（放心，是安全的，重新启动后，该模块又会自动加载）。如下

bash-3.2# modunload -i 102

如果想再启用 touchpad，只需重启就可以了。
如果万一系统没有自动加载该模块，放心，自己来。
bash-3.2# modload -p drv/mouse8042
