4. End-of-Software Support Statements
A. Previously Documented Bugs That Were Fixed in the Oracle Solaris 10 1/13 Release
This section describes issues that apply to the Java Desktop System (Java DS) in the Oracle Solaris 10 OS.
This section describes issues related to the Email and Calendar application.
After you change the authentication type for the incoming mail server, the Email and Calendar application might not work correctly.
Workaround: Restart the Email and Calendar application.
This section describes login issues.
You might encounter the following error message when you log in to a Java Desktop System session:
Could not look up internet address for hostname. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding hostname to the file /etc/hosts
Workaround: Ensure that your host name is set up correctly in the /etc/hosts file. Perform the following steps:
Set the host name in the /etc/hosts file as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hostname localhost.localdomain
hostname is the name of your system.
Ensure that your host name is listed in the /etc/nodename file. This file must also contain the following line:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hostname localhost.localdomain
This section describes system-level issues.
User preferences in your home account for an earlier version of the GNOME desktop might be partly incompatible with the version in Java Desktop System Release 3.
Workaround: Reset your preferences. Perform the following steps:
Log out of the Java Desktop System.
Click Session and choose Failsafe terminal.
Log in.
In the Failsafe terminal window, type the following command:
% gnome-cleanup exit
Log in again.
Your GNOME preferences are now reset.
The slide bar and the side counter do not work when the Sound Recorder is recording a new.wav file.
Workaround: None.
If your Oracle Solaris 10 x86 based system has a single physical video card, you cannot configure the system for full-screen magnification. For such a configuration, you must use a separate configuration file in which you define values for a dummy driver. First, make sure that the Xserver is not running. Then perform the following steps:
Log in to a command-line session.
If you are using the GNOME Display Manager, follow these steps:
Log in to a session as a superuser.
At the prompt, type svcadm disable application/gdm2-login
Log in again as superuser.
If you are using dtlogin, follow these steps:
In the dtlogin window, click Options and select Command Line Login.
Log in as superuser.
Create a new xorg.conf file.
# /usr/X11/bin/Xorg -configure
This command creates the xorg.conf.new file in the root (/) directory.
Copy the new configuration file to the /etc/x11 directory and rename the file xorg.conf.
# cp /xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Modify the file by adding the following sample configurations:
Add a new monitor section.
Section "Monitor" Identifier "monitor_dummy" ModelName "dummy" HorizSync 10-200 VertRefresh 20-90 EndSection
Add a new device section.
Section "Device" BoardName "dummy" Driver "dummy" Identifier "device_dummy" VendorName "dummy" videoram 10000 EndSection
Note - You might need to adjust the videoram value, depending on the screen width, height, and color depth of your particular graphics card. The value in Kbytes must be large enough for the intended screen. For example, you can compute the value by using the formula width * height * bpp/8.
Add a new screen section.
Section "Screen" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" EndSubSection Device "device_dummy" Identifier "screen_dummy" Monitor "monitor_dummy" EndSection
Note - You might need to adjust the resolution value for your particular system setup.
Look for the following line under the ServerLayout section:
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
Insert the following line below the line noted in the previous step:
Screen 1 "screen_dummy" RightOf "Screen0"
This new line defines Screen1, a second dummy screen that is notionally to the right of Screen0, the physical and primary screen.
Save the changes.
Reboot the system from the appropriate command-line session:
If you are using Gnome Display Manager:
Type svcadm enable application/gdm2-login.
Reboot the system.
If you are using dtlogin, reboot the system and log in.
Start the Gnopernicus screen reader.
Change the Startup Mode to Magnifier.
Click Preferences, then select Magnifier.
Click Add/Modify.
Assign the following values for the Magnifier preferences:
For Source: 0.1
For Zoomer Placement:
Left and Top: 0
Bottom and Right: maximum
Click Apply.
Because of the overlaying full-screen magnification zoomer, the Gnopernicus windows become invisible. However, full-screen magnification is now available.
