Device Driver Utility fails to launch
Posted: May 21, 2008 8:12 PM

I've installed OpenSolaris 2008.05 on an HP 2133 Mini-Note but every time I try to launch the Device Driver Utility, to see what's working and what isn't, it appears briefly in the bottom tabs (but no window) and then disappears. I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem, and I'm wondering if it's more likely hardware or a bad install... If you think the specs on the machine would help I can post them. Thanks

ed.
This is the response I get when launching ddu from the command line:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 1297, in ?
app=HDDgui()
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 721, in __init__
self.__dev_tree,self.__certdata,self.abnormal_path=insert_row(model)
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 660, in insert_row
parentiter=dev_tree[component_disc[1]][0]
KeyError: ' /tmp/dvt_cd_ctl_tmpfile'

I have the exact same problem: Opensolaris installed on a Thinkpad X61s, no working Device Driver Utility. It was working on this laptop on the LiveCD, but after install... no luck.

Here's my output when run from the command line:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 1297, in ?
app=HDDgui()
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 721, in __init__
self.__dev_tree,self.__certdata,self.abnormal_path=insert_row(model)
File "/usr/bin/ddu", line 660, in insert_row
parentiter=dev_tree[component_disc[1]][0]
KeyError: ' /tmp/dvt_cd_ctl_tmpfile'

[EDIT]
The /tmp/dvt_cd_ctl_tmpfile of course has semi-interesting information in it that looks like it could be what should be the output of ddu, but somehow something goes wrong somewhere. In any case, having a look at the /tmp/dvt_cd_tmpfile might also give you some information on your devices
