jperkin, Is it possible to create an i386 compilation sandbox in a ceeb6d4e-acab-11ee-8483-00151714048c pkgbuild-lts area? ...I am trying to compile the 32-bit package of Samba, but the sandbox keeps giving me errors. I need to compile the 32-bit portion for the 32-bit libraries present in SmartOS that prevent the member server mode from working correctly and from properly seeing the accounts in the system ...I suppose that such

limitation is still present.

yes you should be able to select the -i386 sandbox type e.g. 2023Q4-i386

I noticed the other day that my samba32-compat package which I provide to work around that was failing, I'll see if I can get to that soon

it takes the i386 samba build and relocates the libraries from it for a 64-bit package

I've selected the 2023Q4-i386 sandbox but it doesn't work as expected ...I've compiled 32bit packages on 2020Q4 but it doesn't work now

can you paste the errors you are getting somewhere?

jperkin, pastebin.com/wiQWP8e8

you can see both errors

hmm, that suggests it's using the wrong bmake, 'type bmake' should print /opt/local/bin/bmake but I'm guessing yours says /opt/tools/bin/bmake?

which suggests the i386 bootstrap kit is missing, I'll check

right -> /opt/tools/bin/bmake

yeh it's missing, ok I'll fix that

thanks

speaking of that, is there anything special needed to build GZ pkgsrc packages?

nope, just use e.g. 2023Q4-tools as the run-sandbox arg

if you need anything added to the main set just lemme know

xmerlin: I'll need to publish a new pkgbuild image to fix that properly, but for now you can exit the sandbox and download pkgsrc.smartos.org/packages/SmartOS…-pbulk/bootstrap-2023Q4-i386.tar.gz manually into /data/packages/SmartOS/bootstrap-pbulk, then the next run-sandbox should work correctly.

jzu - Solaris CBE works under bhyve on OmniOS if you drop the hostbridge, use e1000 for the networking and put the LPC on bus 31. I don't know if smartos exposes enough control for you to make those changes.

andyf: Hmm that's interesting

I get the Solaris loading text and then nothing on ttya/zlogin console

andyf: what's LPC?

unfortunately some of the bhyve args are very hardwired in SmartOS

It's been a long time since I looked but I think you can drop to grub and edit the boot options to select the serial console - it should get further then but will likely hang during device scan.

yeah I get the output when selecting ttya so I bet it's hanging

LPC is a bus that things like serial ports are hung off. I'm double checking but I think the OmniOS `type=windows` moves it

ah right, the serial ports is working until the loading 'freezes' right after 'SunOS Release 5.11 Version 11.4.0.15.0 64-bit' text

Yes, it does, it moves the PCI-ISA lpc thing from slot 1 to slot 31, which is apparently needed to boot either Windows or Solaris.

hmm wonder how do I set that on SmartOS

maybe I'll just try to get the DVD inserted into the T2000 and forget about network installation through the AI server running in Bhyve :)

i tihnk it means 'low pin count'... effectively it's what replaces the old ISA bus on modern systems for things where a PCI interface would be overkill (e.g. serial ports, TPM, etc)

SmartOS already puts it in 31, so you don't have to do that yourself.

So it's then probably hanging on the hostbridge, or the NIC.

ok so IF I'm lucky e1000 might resolve it

It looks like you can set `hostbridge=none` in the zone config to skip the hostbridge.

I'm reading boot.c here github.com/TritonDataCenter/illumos…rc/lib/brand/bhyve/zone/boot.c#L540

yeh unfortunately you can't easily override virtio-net-viona which is hardcoded in there, however one ugly workaround I managed when I was working on packer stuff is that if you add duplicate arguments in bhyve_extra_opts then the bhyve command will use the later ones

IIRC some had to go in a bhyve_config(5) file

hehe :)

jzu - do let us know if you have success, and good luck!

Thanks :)

jperkin, it works, thank you

nice, thanks

Speaking of encryption, is it possible to encrypt all zones and/or is it possible to encrypt a zone?

jperkin, there is a strange problem compiling gcc13 pastebin.com/bHYDA3uH

ah yeh that's an odd side-effect with check-shlibs, if the package is already installed then it'll produce that error, pkg_delete gcc13 should fix it

ok

I think I may have introduced that with my enhanced checks a few months ago as I don't remember it happening before
