Finally a new release... and another one.

Pheew! After more than one year our codebase was ready to get a new release... so I did. And then I noticed, because I was a bit out of practice doing a release, it had a few bugs. Yeah, of course :-( So I made another one, called 0.99.1.

With official OpenJDK Java runtime library support we are now heading to a 1.0.0 release. I hope that one will be without bugs...

Changing Emacs' default font

I wanted to change the default font of Emacs without setting properties in the .Xresources. The window font can be changed with:

M-x customize-face RET default RET

I set it to misc-fixed with height 113.

The menubar font can be changed with:

M-x customize-face RET menu RET

I'm still searching for the correct font, but in my .Xresources it was:

Emacs*menubar.font: Lucida

Which OpenSolaris package contains pkg-config?

It took me some time to figure that out, because it's not installed per default from CD and I haven't upgraded the whole system yet (because I'm still running on my swap partition).

It's in SUNWgnome-common-devel. Pheew...

Password storage of nwamd(1)

Because I didn't know my WIFI password from the top of my head, I entered the wrong one when nwamd(1) was asking for it. But it didn't ask again. So I wondered where the passwords are stored.

After some google'ing I found the correct command:

# dladm show-secobj

Then I could delete the stored password with:

# dladm delete-secobj nwam-twisti-xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx

It seems dladm(1) is just a frontend for text files. The passwords are actually stored in /etc/dladm/secobj.conf.

Switch to OpenSolaris?

I'm thinking about to switch to OpenSolaris on my Apple mac mini. I installed Indiana on my Linux swap partition to see how it works.

Right now I'm trying to get suspend working (http://blogs.sun.com/randyf/entry/solaris_suspend_and_resume_how), but I'm not sure it will work with this version:

May 28 21:19:41 workstation genunix: [ID 314293 kern.info]
device pci8086,27a2@2(display#0) keeps up device
sd@0,0(sd#0), but the latter is not power managed
