I have been trying for the past 3 days to get any package related to xVM
installed on my freshly installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 machine, but everything I
run the command, it fails.
I''ve su''d into root to try and eliminate any permission
problems.
my uname is:
SunOS atlantis 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc
This is what i get when trying to do the install.
-bash-3.2$ su -

It always gives that list index out of range no matter which package
i''ve tried to install. I''ve only tried packages related to xVM
though. Anyone have any ideas on this. I will admit that I am new to
OpenSolaris, and the root roles thing and pfexec threw me for a loop when I
first got the system up, so I may be doing something wrong here. I''m by
no means an expert.

I have just done exactly this on a machine, though using the sun internal staging area for the OpenSolaris package. I had problems with timeouts using the external repository (seems to be a bit swamped according to indianna-discuss and pkg-discuss). I did however do a pkg image-update first to bring the release up to date. You might need to do that (if so it''s probably a bug) Chris Jeffery Kuhn wrote:> I have been trying for the past 3 days to get any package related to xVM installed on my freshly installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 machine, but everything I run the command, it fails. > > I''ve su''d into root to try and eliminate any permission problems. > my uname is: > SunOS atlantis 5.11 snv_86 i86pc i386 i86pc > > This is what i get when trying to do the install. > > -bash-3.2$ su - > Password: > Sun Microsystems Inc.

If you run the command pwck(1), does it report any errors? Do you have any blank lines in /etc/passwd? dsc

It was something related to the computer being on a NIS domain. After I re-installed the OS, fresh install, it worked before the NIS domain was added. There was a bug related to this someone posted. There shouldn''t be a + in the passwd file. I don''t think that was my problem, but none the less, I don''t need this machine on the NIS, so I haven''t added it back yet. But, for anyone with this problem in the future, it seems to be NIS related. check your passwd files, etc.. This message posted from opensolaris.org
