from the "no i'm not really sure why you'd want to..." dept:

You can stop the KDE kicker panel loading and start the gnome-panel instead. Not that you'd want to...but you can.
This is how I did this on my Solaris 10 system, with the ancient 3.1 release (yes I KNOW!!!) from the Sun Companion CD, and stock Gnome.
#mv /opt/sfw/kde/share/autostart/panel.desktop ..
#ln -s /usr/bin/gnome-panel /opt/sfw/kde/share/autostart panel.desktop
If I were you, I'd back up the panel.desktop file, just stick it .. .
:)
This will let you run the Gnome panel (better than kicker even the newer versions, IMO) on the KDE window manager (faster for some reason on my Ultra30).
Exciting!

Solaris df command
27 October, 2005, 08:19 am
Solaris's df command (disk free, i think) doesn't work the same as Linux. In Linux, the df command by itself shows you the percentage of the used space, and how much is free in a quantifiable (2.7gb, etc) number. Solaris's df normally looks like so:
$ df
/ (/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 ): 5910408 blocks 866761 files
/devices (/devices ): 0 blocks 0 files
/system/contract (ctfs ): 0 blocks 2147483614 files
/proc (proc ): 0 blocks 3832 files
/etc/mnttab (mnttab ): 0 blocks 0 files
/etc/svc/volatile (swap ): 543904 blocks 35330 files
/system/object (objfs ): 0 blocks 2147483528 files
/dev/fd (fd ): 0 blocks 0 files
/tmp (swap ): 543904 blocks 35330 files
/var/run (swap ): 543904 blocks 35330 files
/home (/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 ): 2132390 blocks 1014655 files
That sucks. I don't want to know how many files, I want to know HOW MUCH SPACE is used! So try this version of df instead:
$ df -h
Filesystem size used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 8.3G 5.5G 2.7G 67% /
/devices 0K 0K 0K 0% /devices
ctfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/contract
proc 0K 0K 0K 0% /proc
mnttab 0K 0K 0K 0% /etc/mnttab
swap 275M 976K 274M 1% /etc/svc/volatile
objfs 0K 0K 0K 0% /system/object
fd 0K 0K 0K 0% /dev/fd
swap 275M 1.2M

Webmin on Solaris 10 Included!!
27 October, 2005, 08:19 am
Found this on one of the Sun blogs this morning, and had no idea.
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/jclingan
Webmin is included with Solaris 10 in /usr/sfw by default. It has SMF and SMC integration and takes about 30 seconds to set up. Easier than building by hand, though webmin has always been a pretty easy product to get up and running.
# /usr/sfw/lib/webmin/setup.sh
# svcadm enable webmin
Too easy, and very sweet! Thanks Sun :)

Gimpshop Screenie
27 October, 2005, 08:18 am
Yesterday on Slashdot, there was an announcement that Scott Mochella hacked up the GIMP sourcecode to make it feel more like Adobe's Photoshop. I use Photoshop 5 quite a bit, and had used the GIMP on linux a few times, but its interface left something to be desired. This is it. The GIMP is a VERY powerful (and free, thats good) package for working with graphics, and as such making it easier for Photoshop familiars is a good thing.
I am working on compiling a package in the standard pkgadd format, but for now you can look at my screenshot. This was compiled on my UltraSPARC 30 running Solaris 10 using GCC 3.4.2 and GNU Make 3.80. A package will be coming sometime today.
Check out the original site for lots of info and links to a bunch of diffrent distributions, including Gentoo, Debian, and ARCH Linux. I'm pretty sure I'm the first to compile it on SPARC :D
