Greetings.
After spending most of the day trying to get the OI 151a8 (LiveCD
Desktop) install to boot up with fixed IP addresses, I finally gave
up. The wiki is very outdated, and self-contradictory. So I googled,
and still nothing. And network-admin doesn't run without NWAM enabled.
(This system is a small home running DNS, Mediatomb, and storage
shares.and with NWAM, I have to log in to fire up the network
interfaces.) But it also acts occasionally as one of my desktops. So,
since a fresh install of 151a8 Desktop cannot be made into a server, I
installed the server version.
if you are using static IP then what is problem to disable nwam, use
network:physical and configure IP without automagic?
Simple - it doesn't work. network-admin won't run, and all of the IP
configuration files disappear on reboot if I do it by hand.
The server version, however, is text only (of course). No Gnome. So,
how can I add it?
Note that DNS seems a bit borked. I can
'ping 91.194.74.133
I can
'dig pkg.openindiana.org'
but I cannot
'ping pkg.openindiana.org'
getting an "unknown host" error. (??) So 'pkg refresh --full' always
fails.
I suspect this will be the last time I install fresh, rather than
doing an upgrade. :-(
Your nsswitch config is missing dns for hosts and ipnods.
Rats. I thought I replaced nsswitch.conf with nsswitch.dns.Must have
missed this on my nth time around. Thanks.
Rainer
