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. rushabh rupani(deleted) 2020-08-27T09:16:04Z post119160: QNX 6.5.0 runnung on Vmware WS13 manas sahoo http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post119160 2018-09-28T04:57:12Z 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Steve Reid 2014-08-13T14:41:02Z post111405: Re: QNX 6.6 for VMware system startup Damjan Miklic(deleted) http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post111405 2014-08-13T13:48:05Z 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.

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.

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?

Robert Murrell http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post84493 2011-03-31T17:26:07Z 2011-03-31T17:26:07Z I just loaded the latest VMWare Player update (3.1.4 build-385536) and now QNX no longer autodetects the USB drive. The synopsis of the update mentioned enhanced USB support. The USB support was very important to my project as I was using a virtual QNX machine to burn bootable compact flash drives via a USB card reader. If someone figures out a solution before I do, please post it. Otherwise, don't upgrade when VMWare player prompts you.

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, Rick..

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. Rick..

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).

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. Chris. sloginfo reports the following: Jan 14 04:31:32 1 8 0 phfont.so: init... Jan 14 04:31:32 1 8 0 phfont.so: initialized.

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.

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.

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?

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.

What host operating system are you using? In my case the problem seems to be related to the MSVista/VMware team, not to the guest operating system. joan baucells(deleted) 2008-07-10T06:07:01Z post8896: Re: Remote into session Yuriy Synytskyy http://community.qnx.com/sf/go/post8896 2008-06-09T15:52:44Z 2008-06-09T15:52:44Z So you are using VMware workstation and VNC. My suggestion would be using VMware Server without VNC. Use a browser for accessing Virtual Machines remotely.

Have you tried to work without vmtoold? The same behavior? If no, have you tried to increase its priority? Have you tried to decrease delays in main loop in vmtoold.c and rebuild it?

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?

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. Rick..

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?
