it's just 2 linux binaries if i remember right. i know i had it working with linux emulation on freebsd. thanks!

it might work, depends if it needs specific kernel support as well or not, the best way to find out is probably to try

I am new to omnios , a friend help me install last night ... I like it :)

I have question about the kernel ... is it compatable with compileing a linux driver for a usb internet dongle

hey, quick thanks to everyone who puts effort into omnios! I've been playing with it and enjoying it in the lab, lately. When I run zadm list-images, the bhyve and kvm images I see (from smartos?) seem to not have been updated since 2019. Am I doing something wrong? For bhyve VMs, should I just be rolling my own zones from isos?

(or is there a newer image repo I could be using?)

(the lx images i've tried are both up to date and work great, just not sure if i'm doing something wrong when it comes to the hvm images)

you could install a base vm from an iso of your choosing which you then clone the root disk for other vms

Is 'man zonecfg' the best source for valid attributes in zone config(?) json files?

(at a mimimum, i have to figure out how to expose an iso to bhyve)

well, an exhaustive list would be cool but it looks like in this case "cdrom": "/path/to/some-linux.iso" is what i want

man -s 7 bhyve should have the bhyve specific ones

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for!

I got the printer working. I ended up having to add a [[device]] section with match=/dev/usb/printer0. Installed the drivers and cups in the lx zone and had to allow cups to print directly to a raw file and added the printer with lpadmin

my reading say No to compiling a linux usb driver ... are there any usb drivers for omnios that might work for a internet dongle ?

Well, I got to the grub spashscreen. So, that is progress.

GrayGhost: there's an edimax usb wifi dongle which works

driver is still an external module

send me a privmsg and i can get back to you later when i'm off work

don't have much free time

I need a wired one cat5 1gig

patrikr: good news on the printer :)

GrayGhost: you'd almost certainly need to do work on any Linux driver to make it compatible with omnios/illumous.

m1ari: that is beyond my level of expertise

GrayGhost: omnios uses the illumous kernel which goes back to opensolaris so is a totally different history to Linux.

another person xaero is going to send me a illumous wifi dongle to try to see if it will work

Driver ^^^

on the wired dongle

does anyone know what this error means or how to fix it?

pkg update: The package pkg://omnios/driver/storage/smrt⊙0,5.11-151052.0:20241017T210047Z delivers multiple copies of driver smrt

i get this when i try to run `pkg update`

skye - it indicates a problem with some package variants, somehow. Is this an update from r52 to a newer r52, or from something else?

im on omnios-r151048-4a265be889

and trying to update to r151052?

Make sure your r151048 is completely up to date first. I think that might be the problem.

just whatever the latest version is

im just running `pkg update`

The error message is mentioning r151052, which is odd if you're running r151048. What does `pkg publisher` show?

hm it shows pkg.omnios.org/r151052/core

but uname -a gives the old version

someone else uses this system and probably did something weird to the packages

That's your problem anyway, trying to update to an r52 package on an r48 system.

how do i just update my system to r52?

It's how you'd do an upgrade from r48 to r52, for example, but first you do need to make sure you have a completely up-to-date r48

In this case your `pkg` is too old to handle the upgrade

So, set your publisher back with `pkg set-publisher -O pkg.omnios.org/r151048/core omnios`, run a full update with `pkg update -f` and reboot, then set the publisher back to r52 and `pkg update` again to upgrade

thank you

i'll try that
