Unable to perform basic setup

[Tucker Berckmann]

Richard,

It was a network issue on my side, which has since been resolved. Now I can download packages according to the instructions.

Thanks,

Tucker

Try this:
# wget http://www.opencsw.org/pkg_get.pkg

If it fails… you probably have firewall or proxy issues….

Then try this:

How to use my proxy when downloading?
You should set this personally in ~/.wgetrc or globally in /etc/wgetrc (or /etc/opt/csw/wgetrc if you're using wget from OpenCSW).


You can also set it in pkgutil.conf by using the wgetopts option.

wgetopts=--execute http_proxy=http://proxy.foo.com

Hello,

I am having the same problem as Richard was:

http://lists.opencsw.org/pipermail/users/2015-February/009972.html

My questions are:

  *   How do I add a now post to an existing thread? I am new to this forum and I don't know how to use it. Ideally, I would have responded to Dagobert instead of creating a new thread.
  *   What is the resolution to this issue? I am using a vanilla install of Solaris 11.2. I don't know my pkgadd patchlevel, or even how to find it out.
  *   Assuming the issue doesn't get resolved, how I download packages manually? I don't have a second Solaris machine with a working pkg-add, as recommended on the setup guide. Can't I just download packages individually to /var/spool/pkg and run pkgadd?
Thanks,

Tucker Berckmann
