Trying to add some data to my new project using the default sqlite3 database. And so the first issue:
$ /usr/ruby/1.8/bin/rake db:migrate
(in /export/home/jeffw/network)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- sqlite3
No worries I say, just install the sqlite3 gem, but alas:
$ pfexec gem install sqlite3-ruby
....
/usr/ucb/install -c -m 0755 sqlite3_api.so /usr/ruby/1.8/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4/lib
sh: line 1: /usr/ucb/install: not found
Well, who would have thought it would be so difficult to get rails running on OpenSolaris. I wanted to quickly work up a new project in rails and have ended up spending a half hour getting rails running. Hopefully I can save someone else some time...
First, make sure ruby is installed:
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWruby18
This will install rubygems as well, BUT, on my first time round, I got to running rails and found out that:
Rails requires RubyGems >= 1.3.1 (you have 0.9.4). Please `gem update --system` and try again.
I finally got sick of OpenSolaris beeping at me when GDM started. The fix ended up being easy. Just run pfexec /usr/sbin/gdmsetup to lauch the GDM configurator, go the Accessibility tab and remove the tick from "Login screen ready" under Sounds.
I just upgraded to snv_97 everything went fine in the upgrade until the final step where the new boot environment didn't want to activate:
beadm: Unable to activate opensolaris-5
Having a look here suggested that I might want to get rid of some older boot environments. So here they are:
jeffw@suburbia:~$ beadm list

I'm still having issues with my wireless under opensolaris. I've started a thread on the opensolaris forums, so hopefully someone with more ideas than me will be able to help.
http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=73188&tstart=0
As per the thread, it appears that the wpa client thinks something is disabled.
Looks like snv_95 has fixed my issues - I'm up and running again. From my snv_90 version, Firefox 3.0 and the newer package manager are welcome additions - but I still can't get my wireless up and running. I've got a Dell Inspiron 6000 with an Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection (and to find that name I just found out that solaris' version of lspci is scanpci).
I've been running Open Solaris dual boot on my laptop (really should get around to installing it under Virtual Box). Mostly I've been wanting to have a play around with ZFS and get used to finding stuff. My major issue has been getting my Intel 2200BG wireless card connecting to my wireless and home and at work.
Anyway, I updated to snv_94 to see what excitement that had for me - to find that it doesn't boot. I get some error about genunix and the system reboots. I've attached the "screen shot" I took with my camera so I could get the error message.
