post120908: Re: Creating new user using program and giving root access

2020-08-27T09:16:04Z

A user account associates a textual user name with a numeric user ID and group ID, a login password, a user's full name, a home directory, and a login shell. This data is stored in the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files, where it's accessed by login utilities as well as by other applications that need user-account information.

If you are creating authentication using jwt like https://appdividend.com/2020/07/09/angular-authentication-system-login-and-registration-in-angular/ this then you must need to generate a token from serverside and save it to the client-side for the future reference.

You should be able to create a User based on the API exposed by qnx system.

post119160: QNX 6.5.0 runnung on Vmware WS13

2018-09-28T04:57:12Z

Hi,

I downloaded the QNX 6.5.0 ISO image and trying to run on VMware WS 13. When QNX boots up, it asks for entering

F2 or F3 key.

With F2, QNX boots up and any changes I do (like added new files, ifconfig etc), goes away when I boot again.

With F3 option I installed QNX to a Virtual Hard disk (IDE ). Now how can I boot QNX from the Virtual Hard Disk?

Please guide.

Manas

post118194: Open new terminal on QNX Neutrino 7.0 // Undefined basic functions

2017-11-12T16:33:52Z

Hello,

I switched from QNX Neutrino 6.6 to QNX SPD 7.0 and I have two following issues with the emulation of the Neutrino System on VMware Player 12:

1) Using hotkeys [ctrl]+[alt]+2 or above should allow me to use different terminals if e.g. I want to kill a running process. However, there is only one terminal available, and this key combination produces only a black screen with a single underscore as if the terminal was busy.

2) Certain in-build functions are not found or defined in my Neutrino 7.0 Operating System, e.g. clear or ps. Once I type ps in the command line, I get following error:

ksh: ps: can not execute - No such file or directory.

I have an academic license for QNX SDP 7.0. I downloaded package called QNX Software Center 1.1.1 Build 201709071435 - Windows Hosts from Software Center.

Kind regards,

PM

post115449: Re: Fwd: How to enable 3D graphics on QNX 6.6 VMWare

2016-01-08T21:13:27Z

I have a feeling that you can't enable 3d support with newer versions of VMWare. I think the issue is that some form of verification needs to be passed back to the vmware host process. If you look at the sloginfo after starting the gpu_drv process, you'll see that it says that the host disabled the 3d support. I can't seem to work around this.

post114437: Photon failing to start when using ELO dislpay

2015-09-08T18:45:21Z

We are currently using QNX6.5 with the PHOTON GUI.  for the most part the system is running correctly, however when we pair the PC with an ELO display, Photon fails to start when the system is turned on.  If we use a different display, the system will boot correctly and Photon starts correctly.

When we use the ELO display we get the message:

                unable to start graphics driver

we also get the following error information

                 Error message is: /usr/photon/bin/io-graphics: gf_dev_attach('/dev/io-display/8086,0f31,0'): gf errno 9  Error: unable to find a graphics region

We are using the vesabios driver and the information about the graphics card is as follows:

VID: 0x8086 (Intel)

PID: 0xF31H

PCI Index: 0

Interrupt line: 0

information on the ELO display:

We only see this issue when we connect to this one type of ELO display.

post113593: Running screen on VMware workstation results in core dump

2015-03-25T10:53:33Z

Hello,

I am trying to get screen running on VMware Workstation in order to do some testing. I'm trying to use VMware Workstation 11 (trial version for now) on Windows 7 x64 pro. I have created the VM with the accelerated graphics option enabled (as per the graphics patch release notes), installed QNX660 from the VMware ISO image and then copied the files described in the graphics patch across. I did get a warning from VMware that 3D acceleration wasn't supported on this target (I had the guest OS set to "Other").

I set GRAPHICS_ROOT to "/usr/lib/graphics/VMware" and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to "/usr/lib:/lib:/lib/dll:$GRAPHICS_ROOT".

gpu_drv seems to run OK, there are no error messages and the process remains running after the prompt reappears. When I try to run screen after that I just get an error saying "Memory fault (core dumped!)". I have attached a copy of the sloginfo output and have noticed a few things:

- "3D disabled by host." - seems the warning in VMWare about 3D acceleration not being supported in the guest OS causes it to be disabled?

- invalid items in the graphics.conf file - are these caused by the above?

At this point I'm pretty lost as I find the documentation difficult to digest and I cannot find any other problems like this on the QNX, F27 or more general internet.

As an aside I tried to use vesabios instead of vmware in the GRAPHICS_ROOT. I don't run gpu_drv in that case (is that correct? it complains about not finding libvmwsvga.so so I assume it is hardcoded for VMWare driver) but I can then run screen and use display_image to successfully display an image so I assume screen is running OK under vesabios at this point. However, the ultimate aim would be to use GLES2 so I'd prefer to use native drivers.

Can anyone suggest what I might need to do to fix this or do I need to provide more information?

Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed explanation Steve, it cleared things up for me. I was wondering what happened to the "Controlling how Neutrino starts" chapter :)

I've added code to start sshd to startup_aps.h (as the VM seems to default to adaptive partitioning) and its working fine.

Best,

post111412: Re: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup

2014-08-13T15:00:46Z

Correction: the virtual machine includes two OS images:

bios_smp.ifs

bios_smp_aps.ifs

The first runs startup.sh when it starts, and the second runs startup_aps.sh (and adaptive partitioning). When you boot, you should see a message like this:

starting services and networking in /etc/rc.d/startup_aps.sh script

You should be able to start sshd in whichever of these scripts you use.

post111409: Re: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup

2014-08-13T14:41:02Z

QNX SDP 6.6 doesn't support self-hosted development systems, so we no longer ship device enumerators, diskboot, etc. It was diskboot that ran rc.sysint and rc.local.

The Neutrino User's Guide used to have a chapter on controlling how Neutrino starts, but it was removed in 6.6 because it no longer applied. I guess a few references to rc.local and rc.sysinit got missed in the documentation. We've recently removed them, and we hope to update the docs on the website soon.

The buildfile for the virtual machine runs startup.sh, but I haven't tried using it. The startup_aps.sh script is supposed to be for a virtual machine that's running adaptive partitioning, but I don't think we provided one of those--I'm not sure why it's included in the virtual machine

post111405: Re: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup

2014-08-13T13:48:05Z

Hi Steve,

thanks for your reply. Can you please clarify a bit the connection between self-hosted development and rc.local? I was actually trying to start the sshd deamon, which was provided with the Neutrino VM image I downloaded. Also, starting things from .profile is fine for some situations, but not for my use case of sshd, because I want to be able to log into the system remotely, even when my user is not logged in locally. There are also other situations where processes need to be started before a user logs in.

Also, which documentation are you refering to? The document I am following is "QNX Neutrino RTOS User's Guide" downloaded from the official website about two months ago. It mentions rc.local 10 times, while startup_aps.sh/startup.sh are not mentioned at all.

Thanks and best regards,

damjan

post111387: Re: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup

2014-08-12T13:52:48Z

Both rc.local and rc.sysinit are vestiges of the system initialization that diskboot used to do. They're no longer used, now that we don't support self-hosted development. The documentation unfortunately still had some references (which I've now removed) to those files.

You could probably start any programs in your .profile.

post111376: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup

2014-08-11T16:45:43Z

I am experimenting with the QNX 6.6.0 Neutrino

RTOS runtime for VMware Player, installed from theVM-QNXSDP660-201402230339.iso

image (downloaded from here

http://www.qnx.com/download/feature.html?programid=26217). I was trying start sshd automatically on boot, so i created the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file with permissions -rwxr-xr-x and with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

# Start the sshd daemon.

/usr/sbin/sshd

exit 0

When I run the file manually from the terminal, the sshd daemon starts up without any problems. However, the rc.local script does not seem to be run automatically on startup. Digging a bit deeper, I found out that rc.local should be started by /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, which does not seem to be started either. Instead, only /etc/rc.d/startup_aps.sh (or, depending on the filesystem imag I select on boot, /etc/rc.d/startup.sh) seems to be run automatically on startup.

I could find no reference in the documentation on startup_aps.sh or startup.sh. Is the behavior I am seeing expected?

I am running a QNX4.25 Virtual Machine created with VMWare Workstation 7 hosted by a Windows XP SP3 PC. It runs OK for all the aspects that I tested except the touch screen monitor. Outside of the Virtual Machine (in Windows environment), the touch monitor is calibrated OK and the touch is accurate, but within the QNX4.25 VM, I can not calibrate it accurately. It even shows the touch drifting, i.e. with the same caliibration, the repeated touching of the same spot can make the cursor move to different spots.

Has anyone seen a problem like this and have a solution or tips to share? I appreciate any help I can get.

Its been a while since I installed QNX 4 in Vmware (and it jsut worked last

time I did it). Off the top of my head the easiest thing to try is using a

smaller virtual disk. I don't recall what the limits were but it is easy

enough to try and see if that makes a difference.

Usually when you get just the dots it means the disk geometry is different

between what the bios (virtual bios in this case) thinks and what QNX

thinks.

Hope that helps,

I have problem after installation. I have selected 2Gb virtual hard disk IDE, 512bm RAM, IDE CD/DVD drive, floppy auto detect, Network adapter NAT, Sound card auto detect,

Display Auto detect.

When I reboot the virtual machine it just hangs up with ........dots.

What is going on I tried to install the virtual machine twice it gives the same problem. Am I doing something wrong here. Is there any other process to install the QNX 4.25 on vmware.

But on the other hand I have installed the QNX Neutrino 6.3 in vmware it works absolutely fine. Because I am working on QNX 4.25 I need this to work for me.

Thank you,

Kumar

post46218: Mouse movement issue with QNX under VMWare

2010-01-29T15:12:33Z

Hello all,

We have QNX version 4.25 with Photon GUI version 1.13 installed under VMWare version 6.0.3 build 80004, which is itself running on Windows XP Service Pack 3 on a Dell Vostro 220s. In only the QNX VM, we are experiencing severe mouse movement lag that hinders the usability of the system. We have tried all of the settings in Windows, VMWare, or QNX/Photon that might affect this issue and have had no success. Can anyone provide some suggestions on what might be causing this problem?

Thanks,

David

Make sure you are not running low on host memory - if the host has to swap

to support your disk write you get the double effect of the host hitting the

disk at the same time the guest os is hitting the virtual disk.

Ok, it looks like the Eval VM has the software cursor selected, and

I changed the selection to hardware cursor (with some difficulty) and it worked

fine.

I'll raise a PR with the graphics guys to investigate.

As you can see, I didn't quite get to this on Monday.

No, I haven't tried running VMware without using Remote Desktop. I'll probably try that Monday.

I searched for this combination (VMware, QNX, and Remote Desktop) and found one post on the VMware forums, but the author was reporting lockups rather than missing refreshes.

Hey Matt,

This reminds me of the general problem (you see it with phindows as well)

where the double buffered containers in the web browser (which is used by

help as well) don't get updated.  If I am right, it has to do with how the

vmware graphics driver represents itself to Photon.

Hopefully one of the QNX guys can comment on this.

Hi Chris,

Your sloginfo says it all - the default graphics settings for Photon on 6.4.0 don't work with the VMWare driver. Change the pixel format line in the vmware stanza to read 'pixel_format=rgb565' and it should come up for you.

(Our testbed for 6.4.0 is also VMWare Server 2.0 on CentOS 5.2 - alas we're using an old recycled desktop instead of a nice shiny server, though).

Hope this helps,

post20083: QNX 6.4.0 in VMware Server 2.0.0 hosted on CentOS 5.1

2009-01-14T22:53:03Z

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble starting Photon on QNX 6.4.0 running under VMware Server 2.0.0, 64-bit version.  The VMware server is installed on a 64-bit Linux CentOS 5.1 rack mount Dell PowerEdge server.

Our developers each have their own rack mount server where they run VMware to host a number of VMs containing different OS's and source branches that they are working on.  They attach remotely to the server from Windows machines.  For QNX VMs they usually have remote graphical access through VMware's remote console or QNX's Phindows.  Graphical access to the remote server's underlying CentOS is done using NX Free Remote Desktop.

The PowerEdge servers have graphics cards in them and are running a local copy of the XOrg desktop.  The local graphics driver is configured for 24 bit color.

We have been using the above setup for QNX 6.3.X for a few years now and really like it.  I just recently tried the first install of QNX 6.4.0 and found that Photon won't start up.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I should try to get Photon running on this system?  Below are copies of my sloginfo and display.conf file.  Thanks.

Hi,

I am using QNX on VMWARE. VMWARE details are VMWARE Server console, version 1.0.8.

I want to use USB Compact Flash adaptor for loading the QNX into CF.

When i connect the usb CF adaptor and check for the device in QNX it does not detect.

From the above discussions when i checked for usb supporting files in QNX (vmware) i came to know that devu-ehci.so, devu-ohci.so,devu-uhci.so and io-usb files exists with no data. Its size is 0 byte. When i try to copy the correct files into the same location i could not copy.If there is any way to replace those files or any way to detect the usb adaptor please guide me.

Regards

Sorry for the delay, I don't follow this forum too often.

I eventually found, as has already been referenced, that if you load devb-btmm manually before diskboot, then everything works itself out.

I just made a copy of the normal SMP build file and added the BusLogic driver.  Trouble is, you have to do this in a non-VM and then convert the disk to a VM.

For completeness, below is a copy of what I called "/boot/build/vmwareesx.build".  Once you have that, just run:

   mkifs /boot/build/vmwareesx.build /.boot/vmwareesx.ifs

and you should be good to go.  Hopefully in the future, they'll make the normal boot CD do this correctly.

In addition to the previous post...

devb-btmm is not included in the normal boot image, and even if it is, diskboot does not attempt to run it.

post12107: QNX install on vmware ESX3i

2008-08-20T16:19:51Z

Now that VMware is giving away ESXi for free, I decided to try installing QNX on it.

First of all, VMware ESX(i) does not support IDE hard drives, only SCSI.  But SCSI support is available for a QNX-compatible Buslogic host adapter, so it should be ok.

There are two problems that I see that prevent this from working:

First, On both the 6.3.0SP3 and 6.3.2 installation CDs, in /etc/system/enum/devices/block, there are two lines for the Mylex/Buslogic controllers, one of which is the correct one, but then the "requires" line loads the AMD driver instead of Buslogic!!

And second, devb-btmm does not auto-detect the virtual Buslogic controller, even though it's a supported model.  If you manually specify the I/O port and IRQ, then it loads properly.

Note also that looking at our development system, once QNX is installed, /etc/system/enum/devices/block is correct, or at least tries to load the BusLogic driver, unlike the one on the CD.

Here is the excerpt from /etc/system/enum/devices/block on the installation CD:

device(pci, $(PCI_VEND_MYLEX), 1040)    # Buslogic

device(pci, $(PCI_VEND_MYLEX), 8130)    # Buslogic

        requires(devb-amd $(DEVB_OPTIONS), "amd pci=$(index)")

Note how it detects the Buslogic controller and then loads devb-amd!

Here is the output of the "pci" command showing the virtual controller:

Class          = Mass Storage (SCSI)

Vendor ID      = 104bh, BusLogic

Device ID      = 1040h,  BT-946C (BA80C30) [MultiMaster 10]

PCI index      = 0h

PCI IO Address  = 1060h enabled

PCI Mem Address = f4800000h enabled

PCI Expansion ROM = 0h disabled

PCI Int Pin    = INT A

Interrupt line = 9

CPU Interrupt  = 9h

Here are the outputs of devb-btmm with no options, showing how it does not auto-detect the controller (the pci=0 option doesn't help), followed by forcing the ioport and irq where it loads successfully:

# devb-btmm

# xpt_configure:  No btmm interfaces found

# devb-btmm btmm ioport=0x1060,irq=9

# Path=0 -

target=0 lun=0     Direct-Access(0) - VMware   Virtual disk     Rev: 1.0

Is there anything that can be done to "patch" the installation CD?

Thanks,

post11517: Re: Problems with mouse hanging at "virtual borders"

2008-08-07T11:01:58Z

I found a workaround !

The problem exist on my systems only when the mouse speed is set to the lowest speed. The problem with the virtual boarders is only present when the host resolution is the same as the guest resolution (1024x768).

On a second system with a resolution of 1680x1050 I have at the lowest mouse speed only the problem that the speed of the mouse movement is not constant and very slow at the borders.

When the mouse speed is set to the second step I have no problems on both systems.

If desired I can provide a 300MB ISO image with which the error can be reproduced.

I've experienced similar problems working with Microsoft guest operating systems, and with Vista as Host Operating System.

In my case the problem seems to be related to the MSVista/VMware team, not to the guest operating system.

Hello,

I'm running 6.3.2 in fullscreen in the VMWARE with the same resolution as my screen (1280x1024). Sometimes the mouse hangs as if there were any virtual borders somewhere in the screen. I have vmtoold running as root and it doesn't seem to poll the cursors position fast enough, because if I'm at the border of the screen, moving the mouse fast to the middle of the screen, he's is behaving like this. Any solution?

You may already know this, but for those who don't.

Replacing the files in /proc/boot will only work until you reboot - they are the files which are in the boot image. If they need to be started at boot time, you will have to make a new boot image to include the new files.

Hi.

I tried the experimental driver(s), and it(they) didn't work for me.  I'm trying to mount a USB Flash Drive (VMware reports "Feiya Removable Disk").  The Flash Drive worked on a real PC running 6.3.2 with the released drivers.

I did the following on a slightly reconfigured version of the virtual machine which is provided on the September 2007 Evaluation DVD:

#ls /dev/h*

/dev/hd0   /dev/hd0t79   /dev/hd1   /dev/hd1t77

#ls /fs

cd0   ms-dos-floppy   ramdisk

#slay io-usb

#/root/usb-final/io-usb -d/root/usb-final/devu-uhci.so

#   #check io-usb launched, plugin USB drive, acknowledge VMware msg

#ls /dev/h*

/dev/hd0   /dev/hd0t79   /dev/hd1   /dev/hd1t77

#ls /fs

cd0   ms-dos-floppy   ramdisk

On a version 5 vm, I tried both with and without the line:

uhci.newCore="FALSE"

I also tried without the line on a version 6 vm.

What am I doing wrong?  If I'm doing nothing wrong, can someone provide me with a virutal machine on which this has been shown to work.

Does USB work any better on the new VMware Server 2 beta?

attached experimental drivers. Please let me know how it worked out.

Unpack the archive but make sure you're using absolute paths to the driver

to ensure io-usb isn't picking up a different .so.

/root/usb-final/io-usb -d/root/usb-final/devu-uhci.so

(only uhci is necessary)

Regards,

Eric Naud

Subject: USB support in VMware

Some time ago USB was working fine in QNX under VMware.

Later with newer release of VMware (5.5) it was necessary to add

uhci.newCore="FALSE" to the configuration file of virtual machine.

Now, with VMware 6.0 it is not working at all.

I contacted VMware, but according to them QNX is not supported guest OS.

If you need any information - how I tested it ..., I will provide them.

The purpose of this forum is to provide support for existing drivers and tools for running QNX under VMware.
