Failed to uninstall the Extension Pack Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
After uninstalling my VirtualBox, later after that I Re-Install it again. When I wanto uninstall the Extension Pack I got following error :
Failed to uninstall the Extension Pack Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack.
The installer failed with exit code 1: VBoxExtPackHelperApp.exe: error: Failed to rename the extension pack directory: VERR_ALREADY_EXISTS
rcExit=1.
Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: ExtPackManager
Interface: IExtPackManager {3295e6ce-b051-47b2-9514-2c588bfe7554}
After googlig, I got solution to fix it.. you just have to clean the extension pack with the command line:
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage extpack cleanup Successfully performed extension pack cleanup C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>
Try to re-install extension pack, and it installed successfully.

Setting Static IP Address on Solaris 11
Solaris 11 coming with new feature and enhancement, one of it is NWAM (Network automagic) with NWAM you can create and save the network profile. In this post, I’ll blogging about how to configure your Solaris 11 Systems to used static IP Address.
Ok let’s start :
1. Switch From Automatic Network Configuration Mode to Manual Network Configuration Mode
# netadm enable -p ncp DefaultFixed
2. Verify that DefaultFixed profile is applied
# netadm list netadm: DefaultFixed NCP is enabled; automatic network management is not available. 'netadm list' is only supported when automatic network management is active.
3. Determine the interface that you want to configure
# dladm show-phys
4. I’ll configure the net0 interface
# ipadm create-ip net0 # ipadm create-addr -T static -a 192.168.56.200/24 net0/v4
5. Verify
# ipadm show-addr ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8 net0/v4 static ok 192.168.56.200/24 lo0/v6 static ok ::1/128
root@solaris:~# dladm show-link LINK CLASS MTU STATE OVER net0 phys 1500 up -- net1 phys 1500 unknown --
6. Add default route
# route -p add default 12.34.56.1
7. Add DNS Name Server
root@solaris:~# svccfg -s dns/client svc:/network/dns/client> setprop config/nameserver = (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4) svc:/network/dns/client> listprop config config application config/value_authorization astring solaris.smf.value.name-service.dns.client config/nameserver net_address 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 svc:/network/dns/client> exit root@solaris:~# root@solaris:~# svcadm refresh dns/client root@solaris:~# svcadm restart dns/client
8. Set name service switch
root@solaris:~# svccfg -s name-service/switch svc:/system/name-service/switch> setprop config/host = "files dns" svc:/system/name-service/switch> listprop config config application config/default astring files config/value_authorization astring solaris.smf.value.name-service.switch config/printer astring "user files" config/host astring "files dns" svc:/system/name-service/switch> exit
9. Testing
root@solaris:~# ping google.com google.com is alive
That’s it..
In the next post I’ll blogging about how to configure IPMP on Solaris 11.
Configure Local IPS Repository on Solaris 11
Oracle Solaris 11 has been released and coming up as the first cloud OS, Oracle Solaris 11 coming with more features and enhancements. One of it is IPS (Image Packing Systems) this the new way you manage the software patches and packages, IPS make you easy to manage package and patches.
Why you configure Local IPS?
1. Performance (more speed from local network)
2. Security (you don’t want your client to connect to internet)
3. Replication (You want manage the repository, and to make your installation today is exactly the same for the installation next Year)
Prerequisite :
1. Install Oracle Solaris 11
2. 2 DVD ISO repository : https://edelivery.oracle.com

you need to unzip the iso, below the tow iso repository look like :
rachmat@solaris:~$ ls -l *iso -rw-r--r-- 1 rachmat staff 3537872896 Nov 13 06:53 V28915-01.iso -rw-r--r-- 1 rachmat staff 3403360256 Nov 13 14:52 V28916-01.iso
3. Create Zpool for IPS Repository (it’s optional, but I create Zpool specially for holding the repository)
root@solaris:~# format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c3t0d0
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@0,0
1. c3t2d0
/pci@0,0/pci8086,2829@d/disk@2,0
Specify disk (enter its number): ^D
root@solaris:~# zpool create ipspool c3t2d0
root@solaris:~# zfs create ipspool/ips
-optional :
root@solaris:~# zfs set atime=off ipspool/ips
root@solaris:~# zfs set compression=on ipspool/ips
set a time to off for better performance, it’s optional.
4. Mount the first repository iso and rsync it, after finished umount it :
root@solaris:~# lofiadm -a /export/home/rachmat/V28915-01.iso /dev/lofi/1 root@solaris:~# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt root@solaris:~# ls /mnt/ COPYRIGHT NOTICES README repo root@solaris:~# rsync -aP /mnt/repo /ipspool/ips root@solaris:~# umount /mnt root@solaris:~# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
5. Mount the second repository iso and rsync it, after finished umount it :
root@solaris:~# lofiadm -a /export/home/rachmat/V28916-01.iso /dev/lofi/1 root@solaris:~# mount -F hsfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt root@solaris:~# ls /mnt/ COPYRIGHT NOTICES README repo root@solaris:~# rsync -aP /mnt/repo /ipspool/ips root@solaris:~# umount /mnt root@solaris:~# lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1
6. set the repository to your repository folder, in this case /ipspool/ips/repo
root@solaris:~# svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/inst_root=/ipspool/ips/repo
7. Set the readonly to true :
root@solaris:~# svccfg -s application/pkg/server setprop pkg/readonly=true
8. Enable and refresh pkg serer :
root@solaris:~# svcadm refresh application/pkg/server root@solaris:~# svcadm enable application/pkg/server
9. setting up the client, to use only this repository
root@solaris:~# pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g <origin> solaris
Where the origin is your repository server domain / ip address
root@solaris:~# pkg set-publisher -G '*' -g http://10.0.7.1 solaris
10. Verify and testing :
root@solaris:~# pkg publisher
PUBLISHER TYPE STATUS URI
solaris origin online http://10.0.7.1/
root@solaris:~# pkg install nmap

Famous school/college dropouts
Although I Haven’t good academic degree record, I’m fully thanks to whom who always support me to attend and finished college degree. I’m very weak in math, algorithm & statistic, while in Computer Science Degree dominated and ralated with mathematics which I’m very weak on it…
But, it doesn’t matter for me… I just do and focus with what I’m love to do… everyday, everynight I just learn what I Love to learn, while all students just learn the learning path what the college provide that I’m less interest on it… there for I learn another knowledge but I’m focus on it, and this way who bring me to my career right now.
To finish college degree is important, but you should know what will you be in the future? If you know what will you be in future, get the right way to get it and don’t forget to focus on it.
Many people who drop outs from school/college they just do what they love to do and focus on it, I found interesting photos on yahoo singapore news, listed the Famous school/college dropouts :
- Steve Jobs got himself enrolled in Reed College in Oregon, but one semester later, he dropped out.
- Larry Ellison, Oracle co-founder, attended the University of Illinois but left at the end of his second year, as he skipped the exams following the death of his adoptive mother. He then went to the University of Chicago, but didn’t stay beyond a term.

- After the wonder effect of Facebook, Zuckerberg packed his dreams and left Harvard to relocate to Silicon Valley.
- Former American Idol judge Simon Cowell dropped out of school at age 16 and landed a job in the mailroom at EMI. At 23 he left to start his own record label, Fanfare.
- Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar never attended a college.
- Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani was only 16 when he left for Aden to work as a clerk owing to financial issues in family.
- WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange attended the University of Melbourne, majoring in physics and mathematics. He received only a minimum grade for math and left the university soon to start his own venture.

- Genius director Quentin Tarantino is a high school dropout who went to work in a video store for his love for movies.
- Steven Spielberg was not known for his academic excellence. Interestingly, he even failed to get admission into a film-making institute!
- Sir Richard Branson had a difficult time in school because of his dyslexia. He left school when he was only 16.
- Doris Lessing, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007, had to end her formal schooling when she was 14. She had worked as a nanny, telephone operator, stenographer, and a journalist before becoming a novelist at the age of 31.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish Meaning
After watching Steve Jobs’ 2005 Stanford Commencement Address, he said in last of his speech “Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish” what is the meaning of this speech? I’m googling about it, and I found resolution about this doubt. I’m putting it, into my blog.. just for my reference and to remember it… this post is originally published on one of linked forum.
Hi all buddies,
what’s your opinion about Steve Jobs speech to Stanford graduate students (14th June 2005) a.k.a. “stay hungry, stay foolish” speech?Have you ever seen it?
(ENG) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60cDHb-tvMA

CEO at Nuvolab, President at ASSISTIHey Franc,
Great Question to ask, Its just like “Do you believe in yourself?”
Because whats “Jobs” is pointing at is the same, believe in our intuition, instincts, inner self, to do what we love to do.. to stop waisting time for something that’s certainly not what you believe in.Henry Ford once said: “Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right. “
This is what it exactly is, Jobs is just insisting all of us to do what we love… what we all are crazy about.. “Just go for it!” Kind of thing…
None of us knows that how long we are going to live, can’t live for century, even average life rate is now half a century. In this case how can we say that we waste our damn precious time in something that we don’t really believe in.
Only way we can do the best work in any field is if we are really in love in what we are doing, we love to do, we love to improve, we love to create, flourish, and extend to the no limits.
Stay Hungry and Stay Foolish…. is a mean to say, you should not worry about anything world is following.. you should try to keep yourself from herd mentality and give your self enough space and respect so that creativity in your can blossom. My one friend puts this in a way: “Starving for Challenges” in return of which I said: “Yes and Practice your dreams bit by bit”, in your life..
When we do what we are interested in, we find ourself hungry to do it more, with more perfection, with more passion and creativity, and thats what makes our work stand out of crowd. And just here being Foolish is too be enough wise to not hear or get influenced by other people’s being admired of your work and start doing something more better and different by again looking in yourself and believing in your instincts.
At last I would just love to say, I Believe! I do Believe!
Stay Hungry! Stay Foolish!
Hope it helps Franc. Please let me know if I can be helpful.Regards,
