“Completing post install setup”

If after entering username/password you see a small window (with a going back and forth blue “slider”) saying:

“Completing post install setup”

most likely svc:/system/postrun/default service is not running.

Check the status:

# svcs -vx postrun

and enable it if it’s disabled (for example, after a system upgrade)

# svcadm enable postrun

Related system packages:

# pkginfo | fgrep postrun
GNOME2 SUNWpostrun Delayed execution environment for procedural package scripts
GNOME2 SUNWpostrun-root Delayed execution environment for procedural package scripts - / filesystem

SqueezeCenter and Scalar::Util

After upgrading to snv_93 SqueezeCenter (quite predictably) refused to start again. The error was:

# ./slimrun
Weak references are not implemented in the version of perl at /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.8.4/DBIx/Class/Schema.pm line 8

. . .

The issue is related to the same Scalar::Util module. Just force install it like explained here.

MAC for UNIX

MAC (Monkey’s Audio Converter) for Windows can be downloaded from http://www.monkeysaudio.com. But what about a UNIX version? Two years ago v3.99 Update 4 Build 5 was released but then the development stopped because of some contradictory licensing reasons. That means that MAC for UNIX is not maintained anymore. Fortunately, the old version still works. I compiled it under Solaris 11 x86 and use it for SqueezeCenter.

The source tar file is attached to the post: mac-399-u4-b5.tgz (MD5)

Some notes.

  • To check the MD5 digest:
    % md5sum -c mac-3.99-u4-b5.tgz.md5
    mac-3.99-u4-b5.tgz: OK
  • Always use –prefix=/usr/local (or any other directory in which you keep non-standard files) configuration parameter, because by default the prefix is set to /usr. You might overwrite Solaris file /usr/bin/mac (message authentication code):
    % ./configure –prefix=/usr/local
  • If you are going to use –enable-assembly=yes option (you need yasm to compile assembler code) under Solaris change “sh” to “bash” in src/MACLib/Assembly/Makefile in the following line (line 214 in my case):
    STRIP_FPIC = sh $(top_srcdir)/strip_fPIC.sh

    This is what the line should look like:

    STRIP_FPIC = bash $(top_srcdir)/strip_fPIC.sh
  • There is already a program /bin/mac (see above). If you don’t want to use the full path to the MAC, simply rename the latter:
    # mv /usr/local/bin/mac /usr/local/bin/MAC

Vermillion on OpenSolaris

The current version can be found here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/current/

Tried to install Vermillion 94 yesterday (GNOME 2.23.4) but had to fail back to nevada_92 (GNOME 2.22.2), because 94 was almost unusable (e.g. right button did not work, window manager did not want to start automatically, etc). Both installers failed to install JDS correclty (missed or incorrectly configured packages and files).
For example, libgnome-desktop-2.so.2 was missing in v94.
