Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

Apache Directory Studio (ApacheDirectoryStudio-linux-x86_64-2.0.0.v20130628.tar.gz)

When I start the program from the command line (./ApacheDirectoryStudio), I get an error like this:

To solve this issue, try to put this line

install gparted inside smartos Centos VM

Well. I'm not so virtuous to use parted inside a Centos VM to expand the filesystem.
By default the Centos Linux image dataset from SmartOS is large 10GB.
You can add another disk (it will be mounted in /data).
Or you can grow the ZFS volume related to disk0.

So, from the global zone grow the volume related to the Linux VM:

zfs set volsize=20G zones/<UUID>-disk0

I don't know, maybe you must stop the VM and start it again.

Now, from inside the VM, yes, you must install various rpms.
Firts of all the EPEL repository.

rpm --import https://fedoraproject.org/static/0608B895.txt
rpm -ivh https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

yum install gparted
yum install xauth
yum install dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts.noarch

Now you can connect to the VM via ssh with the -X option (or -Y) and run gparted

Openindiana: "tree connect failed: syserr = No such file or directory"

I was trying to mount a CIFS (Samba) share from an Openindiana host,
 
-bash-4.0# mount -F smbfs //user:password@networkserver.my.domain/share /mnt/samba

I got this error

mount: //networkserver.my.domain/share: tree connect failed: syserr = No such file or directory

To solve this, I had to restart the samba client service.

svcadm restart svc:/network/smb/client:default

Fifo: vm reported as "provisioning", but it is false

Fifo: https://project-fifo.net

Why a VM status is reported as "Provisioning (Running)" even if it is already provisioned, and it is (only) running?

<killfill> that's because fifo knows if a vm is provisioning if the file 'provisioning' exists.
<killfill> Probably when creating the VM, the tools didn't wipe that file
<killfill> or maybe because you created it manually.. :P
<killfill> it's in /zones/:uuid/root/svc/ something like that.
<killfill> /zones/<uuid>/root/var/svc/provisioning

So, rm /zones/<uuid>/root/var/svc/provisioning
Et voilà.

SmartOS: add (modify) the gateway to a zone

I often forget to add the gateway to a new created zone.

So, get the nic MAC address.

vmadm get zone-uuid | json -a nics.0.mac

52:d9:d7:ab:c7:56

Create a file, like /var/tmp/updategw.json

{
   "update_nics": [
      {
         "mac": "52:d9:d7:ab:c7:56",
         "gateway": "192.168.0.1"
      }
   ]
}

Stop the zone, then issue an update.

vmadm update zone-uuid < /var/tmp/updategw.json

Verify.

vmadm get <zone-uuid> | json -a nics.0

Start the zone.

cisco vpn client and windows 8

So, the Cisco VPN client is not compatible with Windows 8. At least you must change various registry keys (I don't know).

A valid alternative is Shrew Soft VPNCLIENT

The Standard installation is free to use even for commercial use.
