[00:48:25] <_william_> please does anyone know what <sys/tsol> incldues are for ? is it trusted solaris ?
[00:49:53] <richlowe> Trusted Extensions, yeah.
[00:50:03] <_william_> i have a compilatuion error with mozilla thudnerbird. Something in /usr/include/bsm/audit_record.h tries to include <sys/tsol/label.h> but i have no tsol directory under <sys>
[00:50:06] <myrkraverk> erm, is irc://irc.freenode.net/opensolaris the proper link for this channel?
[00:50:35] <_william_> i don't know :) but i have found this file in opensolaris sources :)
[00:50:40] <richlowe> I'm not sure how you'd end up with an audit_record.h that included tsol bits, without having the tsol bits though.
[00:50:40] <_william_> i mean includes
[00:50:50] <richlowe> packaging snafu?
[00:50:57] <_william_> richlowe, i don't know :)
[00:51:08] <richlowe> both headers are in SUNWhea...
[00:51:28] <_william_> here is the file i don't have under solaris 10 http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/sys/tsol/label.h
[00:51:41] <_william_> that's why i ask in #opensolaris ;)
[00:51:44] <richlowe> Wait, you're on solaris 10, but with an audit_record.h included tsol bits?
[00:51:49] <_william_> yes
[00:52:00] <richlowe> unless you're on the 10u3 beta, that sounds broken. :)
[00:52:16] <_william_> well ... so i am affraid it is broken ;)
[00:54:16] <Symmetria> *sigh*
[00:54:25] <Symmetria> I still cant get sconadm to register me
[00:54:25] <Symmetria> :(
[00:54:52] <_william_> richlowe, any idea of the best way for me to handle this ? :)
[00:55:23] <richlowe> All I can think of is to file a bug/talk to Sun.
[00:55:36] <richlowe> It maybe worth checking if a patch screwed up, too.
[00:55:40] <richlowe> at least then you can maybe back out that patch.
[00:55:43] <_william_> yes...
[00:55:50] <_william_> thanks
[00:55:56] <dwc-> errr
[00:56:07] <_william_> i'll check my patches, then try to bug talk to sun :)

[00:59:07] <dwc-> but I have #if, etc.
[00:59:47] <myrkraverk> on my laptop, can /dev/cua/b be my internal modem? is there any way for me to find out?
[01:00:58] <dwc-> it could be... try tip dialers or something and type ATZ and see if you get an "OK" back
[01:01:23] <myrkraverk> ok
[01:01:30] <_william_> nbash-3.1$ ls -la /usr/include/bsm/audit_record.h
[01:02:02] <_william_> not the same file as yours dwc-

[01:04:10] <dwc-> looks like there's a patch to SUNWhea that gave that to you
[01:04:25] <_william_> very likely
[01:04:28] <dwc-> (I dropped it into http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/fileFingerprints.pl)
[01:04:34] <dwc-> 120845-02,120845-03
[01:04:57] <_william_> interting link :) i was not aware of this
[01:05:07] <dwc-> I wasn't either for awhile.  It is handy.
[01:05:33] <dwc-> hmm http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-120845-03-1 claims 120845-03 is a 0-byte auditd patch
[01:06:25] <dwc-> 120845-02 says "This revision accumulates S10U3 feature point patch 123354-03."
[01:06:45] <_william_> so i have to rollback to an older patch level ?
[01:07:05] <dwc-> I don't know... you should find out who installed that patch, and if there was a particular reason they needed it
[01:07:20] <_william_> i did :) it's my personnal workstation
[01:07:53] <dwc-> oh, that makes things easy then....
[01:07:54] <_william_> i happened when i run an update. I install freemissing  patches from online update

[01:17:13] <dwc-> wow.
[01:17:55] <_william_> does not smell good :)
[01:18:26] <_william_> dwc-, what is the best way to know which patches are installed ? since pca does not since to see it
[01:18:28] <dwc-> well, a candidate list would be the ones in "showrev -p | grep SUNWhea"

[02:40:54] <alanc> why?
[02:41:12] <gisburn> alanc: I want to benchmark the mandelbrotset1.ksh demo script...
[02:41:47] <gisburn> alanc: how many cpus does the box have ?
[02:42:22] <alanc> well, jurassic has 8, but I shouldn't be using it for benchmarking 8-)
[02:42:58] <gisburn> alanc: I thought jurassic is a SF68k ...
[02:43:25] <alanc> at least the zone I can log into only reports 8 cpus from psrinfo
[02:43:50] <gisburn> alanc: weired.
[02:43:51] <alanc> best machine I know of that has 4 cpus - 1280 Mhz SPARCs (V440 I think)
[02:44:06] <gisburn> alanc: does jurassic have multiple domains active ?
[02:44:08] <alanc> they are numbered 12-19 though
[02:44:13] <gisburn> ah
[02:44:14] <gisburn> domains
[02:47:32] *** jamesd has quit IRC
[02:47:55] <alanc> I'm sure the ON guys have bigger, badder test machines around somewhere
[02:49:06] <dwc-> gisburn: how about a v40z -- 4x dual-core opteron
[02:49:37] <gisburn> dwc-: my little monster script can easily use 1600 cpus on demand.
[02:49:48] * gisburn looks for a sf25k
[02:50:05] 
[02:50:33] * gisburn is so disappointed by niagara2's floating-point performance
[02:50:36] <alanc> sorry, I don't have access to either of those
[02:51:40] <gnu2it2> anyone hook me up with  tar files for what i need in /tftpboot and /jumpstart for current nv ?
[02:52:02] <gnu2it2> sparc ultra 5 to net install
[02:53:18] <alanc> I think an SF25k would cost more than the X hardware budget for the entire decade
[02:53:32] <delewis> hehe
[02:54:32] <alanc> but our V440's are mostly idle, so it's hard to imagine us really having use for one either
[02:55:00] <alanc> (we use one as NFS & web server, the other as Sun Ray server for our testing lab)
[02:55:27] <gisburn> alanc: can you grab a V440 and send it to me, please ?
[02:55:57] <alanc> I think someone would notice if the NFS server containing all the X master workspaces for Solaris 2.3 - Nevada
[02:56:02] <alanc>  suddently disappeared
[02:56:31] <alanc> or if all the Sun Rays in our lab stopped working
[02:56:53] <alanc> (though if I switched them to running off the V20z Sun Ray server, that might take a little longer to notice)

[02:54:44] <delewis> I would try gcc first (see if that compiles), if it does try Sun Studio

[04:00:55] <silly_girl22> if you dont know, you wont be able to help
[04:01:02] <axisys> i am planning to install apache in a secure way using this procedure http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/s10securityhowto.jsp
[04:01:09] <silly_girl22> wake on lan turns on a computer thats powered off from the network
[04:01:26] <axisys> anyone has any suggestion in addition to that url?
[04:02:04] <sahafeez> WoL does not turn a computer on. it wakes a computer from sleep. it has to be on and in sleep mode ;)
[04:02:26] <sahafeez> and in order to wake it you must send a very specific set of packets
[04:02:28] * hile_ wonders what this sleep mode thing is... I'd only use that on lapdogs
[04:03:49] <Stric> sahafeez: wake on lan can start up a computer from poweroff too
[04:04:19] <Stric> if your nic is connected right to the mobo (usually only for integrated thingies)
[04:04:33] <sahafeez> new to me. i know it still needs a very specific set of packets.
[04:04:46] <Stric> easily solved with perl or so
[04:04:48] <sahafeez> learned something new today ;)

[04:54:58] *** gm152_ has quit IRC
[05:02:07] <Error_404> does it speed up by dropping the "y" and "o" from the word "you"?
[05:02:22] <Error_404> that shaves whole miliseconds off typing
[05:05:57] <twincest> saves bandwidth too

[05:25:08] <axisys> u should be able to compile it using sun studio
[05:25:15] <axisys> i never tried tho
[05:25:24] <sahafeez> thank for the info. i will try it out!

[05:46:49] <sahafeez> i mean, ping for gods sake!
[05:49:45] <jamesd_> ping is only needed by the administrator of course its in /sbin
[05:51:01] <delewis> likewise, not every Solaris user needs a C compilation environment.
[05:51:26] <delewis> this seems to be spawned out of the movement of bringing "UNIX to the masses who think they need tools they don't really need"
[05:52:28] <delewis> likewise, if you do need a C compilation environment you should be competent enough to find the filesystem(5) man page that describes where the C compilation environment is located.

[06:17:43] <Error_404> sahafeez: default path is a dangerous place to put things
[06:18:22] <Error_404> /bin and /sbin and /lib *MUST* be availiable... often /usr is placed on NFS
[06:19:08] <sahafeez> i guess i can see the logic in that being that solaris is netbooted alot.
[06:19:52] <Error_404> & if you have non-root administrators that can perhaps write to /usr, but not /bin...
[06:20:07] <sahafeez> i guess i have gotten used to *bsd/linux and now need to start thinking solaris again.
[06:20:16] <Error_404> if root has /usr in it's $PATH, you fire one of the admins & he gets beligerent...
[06:20:24] <Error_404> i'll let you finish that one
[06:20:40] *** gnu2it2 has quit IRC
[06:21:06] <Error_404> it's a fair bet that if linux does it different from solaris, linux is doing it wrong
[06:21:30] <Error_404> for various definitions of 'wrong'
[06:21:31] <sahafeez> ha!
[06:21:43] <Error_404> (eg, solaris is UNIX2003 certified.... linux is not)
[06:22:10] <Error_404> there's also SUS & POSIX to contend with... neither of which linux is completely compliant with
[06:22:52] <Error_404> in fact, linux isn't even standardized across distributions
[06:23:10] <Error_404> or versions of a singe distr
[06:23:16] <sahafeez> which btw, is my biggest issue with linux.
[06:24:25] <sahafeez> like i said, need to start thinking solaris again since i moved my workstation to it. i used ot have a nice .bashrc that had everything i tweaked to make me happy in it. just need to see if i can find it. it is from my last solaris desktop - v2.6
[06:24:52] *** OnkelSchorsch_ has joined #opensolaris
[06:26:01] <Error_404> a linux .bashrc should work fine as well

[06:29:47] <sickness> oh, that too
[06:29:48] <sahafeez> delewis what is xpg4
[06:29:53] <Error_404> solaris is *the best* documented operating system in the world
[06:29:53] <delewis> POSIX userland
[06:29:56] <delewis> I always put it before /usr/bin
[06:30:02] <delewis> so I have POSIX-compliant tools
[06:30:13] <delewis> the default Solaris userland is *not* POSIX-compliant in any shape or form.
[06:30:45] *** vmhobbes has quit IRC
[06:31:21] *** vmhobbes has joined #OpenSolaris
[06:31:24] <LeftWing> It's Solaris Compliant. =D
[06:31:47] <delewis> basically. :-)
[06:31:52] <delewis> in it's own sick, little way.
[06:31:58] <LeftWing> hehe
[06:31:59] <loke> delewis: doing so may mess up a lot of scripts though
[06:32:05] <LeftWing> I enjoy the Solaris userland in a masochistic sort of way.
[06:32:20] <delewis> loke: not any of the scripts I deal with.
[06:32:52] <delewis> LeftWing: I can't be forced to use a grep that doesn't support EREs without using egrep :-)
[06:33:03] <LeftWing> heh
[06:33:14] <LeftWing> I just use egrep if I require them. =P
[06:33:35] <LeftWing> And ggrep on the odd occasion that I require simple recursion.
[06:33:40] <delewis> well, grep -E *is* specified by POSIX for a reason.
[06:33:59] <delewis> and ggrep has the extension of allowing you to use EREs in BRE mode by escaping the metachars
[06:34:23] <delewis> despite POSIX not specifying this behaviour, the ggrep man page still encourages you to use this extension.
[06:34:37] <delewis> which means silly freeware c0d3rs fall into the trap
[06:34:45] <LeftWing> c0d3rs rul3 m4n.
[06:34:50] <delewis> yeah, right. :-)
[06:34:57] <LeftWing> l4y 0ff t3h c0d3rZ.
[06:35:07] <LeftWing> Christ I hate them.
[06:35:16] <delewis> I know two channels full of them.
[06:35:21] <LeftWing> #mplayersigh :P
[06:35:38] <delewis> and in fact, I've fixed the aforementioned ggrep c0d3r trap in the 'configure' script for one of them.
[06:35:52] <delewis> (which prevented SSE and SSE2 from being detected on Solaris/AMD64)
[06:36:13] <LeftWing>  LOCATION=`locate something_config` is another foolish configure scriptism I object to.
[06:36:33] *** Drone has quit IRC
[06:36:46] <LeftWing> I'd prefer a well-formatted Makefile if I'm going to have to modify a configure script anyway.
[06:37:01] <delewis> and why configure scripts still don't use /usr/bin/env sh is mind-boggling.
[06:37:13] <delewis> assuming the shell in /bin is POSIX-compliant is silly.
[06:37:18] <delewis> silliness to the n-th degree.
[06:37:55] <sahafeez> just tried to drag and drop a file. desktop locked up hard. had to ssh in and kill nautilus.
[06:38:05] <delewis> sahafeez: yeah :-)

[06:38:44] <sahafeez> what can i do for yah

[06:38:58] <sahafeez> hum.
[06:38:59] <sahafeez> yes
[06:39:06] <delewis> can you actually drag something into your Trash and it'll show up in .Trash?
[06:39:09] <delewis> well
[06:39:10] *** Drone has joined #opensolaris
[06:39:11] <sahafeez> well, i can empty it. never tried to get anything out of it.
[06:39:11] <delewis> don't drag :-)
[06:39:29] * LeftWing stays with Vermillion 40.
[06:39:31] <sahafeez> i reported it as a bug back in 46!!!
[06:39:47] <delewis> sahafeez: I can move something to my trash
[06:39:51] <delewis> but it never appears in .Trash
[06:39:56] <delewis> and when I click to see my trash, there's nothing there.
[06:40:03] <jteo> make has been abused to do things it wasn't designed to do. and the Makefile language is horrible.
[06:40:05] <delewis> oh, I'm getting confused
[06:40:07] <LeftWing> Does it disappear from whence it came?
[06:40:08] <delewis> it *does* appear in .Trash
[06:40:09] <sahafeez> if i put solaris 10u2 will drag and drop work
[06:40:13] <delewis> but Nautilus doesn't see it
[06:40:20] <delewis> when I try to look at what's in the Trahs
[06:40:34] <sahafeez> i just checked. i see files i just trashed
[06:40:41] <delewis> ugh.
[06:40:59] <sahafeez> is the drag and drop thing a known bug or do i need to open a report - again
[06:41:04] * LeftWing has Solaris 10 U1 + Vermillion 40 on his Sun Ray server.
[06:41:07] <delewis> sahafeez: I haven't reported it
[06:41:10] <LeftWing> Dragging works for me.
[06:41:11] * delewis thinks no one uses JDS in SPARC

[06:41:18] <delewis> :-)
[06:41:27] * jteo thinks no one uses the trash

[06:41:45] <jmcp> jteo: only to carry it out
[06:41:51] <jmcp> well, I take the rubbish out, not the trash
[06:42:09] <jteo> jmcp, JDS. not IRL.
[06:42:18] <jmcp> I know, don't worry
[06:42:20] <LeftWing> Actually I was rather fond of the Trash can on 9" B&W Macintoshes -- it just seemed right.  The Recycle Bin has since killed any attraction for me, though.
[06:43:07] <sahafeez> hum. i know i opened a report on this before. i should check it
[06:43:40] * LeftWing wishes he could file an RFE for Sun Rays.
[06:44:01] <delewis> LeftWing: try filing an RFE or bug report for an IBM product
[06:44:08] <delewis> it's synonymous with "contact your sales rep"
[06:44:23] <LeftWing> If I was actually fond of anything that's come out of IBM I would try. ;P
[06:44:32] <delewis> :-)
[06:44:49] <delewis> ugh
[06:44:54] <delewis> why is the gimp so slow starting up

[06:46:04] <elektronkind> any opinions on structure?

[06:47:15] <elektronkind> don't mind what the article actually says, I'm just trying to come up with a standard format ;)
[06:47:43] * LeftWing puts Mercurial on his list of things to learn.
[06:47:58] <delewis> it's your standard SCM
[06:48:03] <delewis> with some modified terminology
[06:48:06] <delewis> and a few caveas
[06:48:09] <delewis> er, caveats
[06:48:20] <jteo> delewis, the same can be said for ANY piece of software. ;)
[06:48:22] <LeftWing> delewis: Any pertinent ones that spring to mind? =P
[06:48:37] <LeftWing> It looks like less of a pain in the arse to build than SVN.
[06:48:55] <delewis> SVN is a pain, especially if you actually want to have your own repository.
[06:49:06] <sahafeez> hum, no curl or wget in a defualt install
[06:49:09] <delewis> likewise, Mercurial is pretty slick, as it's Python.
[06:49:14] <delewis> sahafeez: /usr/sfw/bin/wget
[06:49:30] <elektronkind> curl would be a usefule sfw addition
[06:49:40] <elektronkind> even just for libcurl
[06:49:45] <sahafeez> ahah! i am adding sft/bin to my path now!!!
[06:49:48] <delewis> actually, I say SVN is a pain as I was trying to setup an SVN repository on my pSeries running AIX.
[06:49:55] <delewis> SVN depends on libtool quite a bit
[06:50:01] <delewis> which is broken, and I say *broken*
[06:50:10] <delewis> and it wouldn't even package correctly, so I rm'd it quickly.
[06:50:17] *** wesw has quit IRC

[06:50:31] <LeftWing> haha
[06:50:54] <LeftWing> I think the last time I built it I did it very minimally and just tarballed up /opt/JMCsvn =P
[06:50:55] *** astinus has quit IRC
[06:51:14] <delewis> it builds on Solaris -- AIX is another matter, though.
[06:51:58] <jteo> delewis, ;)
[06:52:40] <LeftWing> I've heard tell that IBM use rather a lot of Solaris and NT 4.0 in their Global Services stuff...
[06:52:42] * delewis will eventually be migrating his CVS repository from the pSeries over to my new Sun server whenever it arrives..
[06:52:48] <elektronkind> wasn't it said that AIX is the result of aliens seening UNIX and then implementing it in their own way?
[06:52:51] <jteo> delewis, and that would be?

[06:53:14] <delewis> jteo: well, not "new", but "new" to me -- probably an Ultra 80/E420R or E4500.

[06:53:35] <delewis> yeah, I've been waiting for a good deal on Ebay before I make my move :-)
[06:53:59] <delewis> and that would give me a chance to relegate the pSeries purely to database stuff, specifically with Oracle/DB2.
[06:54:08] <sahafeez> E4500 - how many procs is that
[06:54:15] <delewis> sahafeez: 4-14.
[06:54:20] <delewis> likewise, 4-14GB of memory.
[06:54:38] <sahafeez> nice energy bill there.
[06:54:45] <delewis> power in TN is cheap.
[06:54:53] <jamesd_> you can use less than  use as little as 1 cpu and  256MB of ram...
[06:54:58] <delewis> otherwise, I wouldn't have a POWER system on at the moment (they *suck* up the power)
[06:54:58] <sahafeez> ah, the TBA
[06:55:31] <sahafeez> i turn my U80 off when not in use as i am in CA
[06:56:05] <delewis> yes, I've noticed Californians, Northerners (specifically, from the NY and NJ areas), and Europeans tend to be scared of power consumption.
[06:56:29] <elektronkind> our electricity rates went up 50-70% here in maryland
[06:56:35] <elektronkind> this past summer
[06:56:40] <delewis> I'm paying roughly $300/month to keep an 1,800 sq. ft. house at 68C with standard utilities, and 5 systems.
[06:56:52] <elektronkind> the state dropped their imposed price caps
[06:57:28] <sahafeez> 68C
[06:57:31] <delewis> er
[06:57:34] <delewis> 68F :-)
[06:57:39] <delewis> that'd be a bit hot :-)
[06:58:27] <sahafeez> hum. my bill in aug was $300 for 1200 sq foot house that i keep at 78F for the time we were home - so weekends and 6-pm to 7am
[06:58:58] <delewis> hehe
[06:59:04] <delewis> I couldn't stand that.
[06:59:31] <delewis> if I don't keep the house, in general, at 68F the office with my computers in it gets unbearably hot and systems start to become unhappy.
[06:59:35] <sahafeez> i spent lots of time in the middle east. as long as it is dry heat i do not notice to much
[06:59:48] <delewis> well, TN isn't very dry.
[06:59:54] <delewis> it's *very*, *very* humid here.
[06:59:59] <delewis> typically > 90% humidity.
[07:00:12] <delewis> especially, in the summers when the average temperature is around 90F-100F
[07:00:18] <sahafeez> i have dumbed down too once server, one desktop, one switch, one wifi and 2 laptops and the u80.
[07:00:26] <elektronkind> "georgia hot"
[07:00:31] <delewis> basically.
[07:00:33] <delewis> and it *sucks*
[07:00:53] <sahafeez> ah, i did boot camp in georgia
[07:01:01] <elektronkind> ft. benning?
[07:01:08] <sahafeez> yes.
[07:01:28] <elektronkind> my family is from there
[07:01:31] <sahafeez> columbus, ga. a redoubt of fine culture
[07:01:35] <sahafeez> haha
[07:01:40] <elektronkind> dad did part of ranger school there
[07:01:44] * delewis wonders when Oracle started being unnecessarily paranoid about the number of network services runnign on a database server
[07:01:49] <sahafeez> <=- stick foot in mouth
[07:01:52] <delewis> "Oracle recommends that you close all unnecessarily open ports, especially on internet-facing hosts"
[07:01:55] <elektronkind> heh, columbus is a good ol' boys town
[07:02:03] <elektronkind> I completely agree :)
[07:02:04] <sahafeez> so did i. 3rd ranger batt.
[07:02:05] <delewis> "Port Number?111?1158?13?1334?1581?199?2049?21?22?23?..."
[07:02:06] <gnu2it2> i heard cost of living is pretty cheap in TN compared to DC. my mom is lookining at relocating
[07:02:21] <sahafeez> then on to ft. bragg
[07:02:38] <delewis> gnu2it2: yes, $30k-$40k/yr and you can get ~ 2,000 sq. ft. house in a decent area of wherever you live.
[07:02:43] <elektronkind> hey... ft bragg. I'm a product of cape fear hospital :)
[07:02:55] <delewis> Memphis and Nashville have slightly elevatated COLs, but it's not *that* much.
[07:02:59] <sahafeez> gnu2it2 my friend steve (who is not running the IT at yahoo) moved from san jose to TN for work. i told him he would not last a year. he made it 2. back in san jose now
[07:03:01] <jmcp> elektronkind: you wz conceived in a hospital?
[07:03:12] <sahafeez> army bratt
[07:03:29] <elektronkind> jmcp: hahah nope, that's where my "drop zone" was, as my dad puts it
[07:03:52] <sahafeez> delewis - you could buy a house for the down payment on one in san diego in TN
[07:04:03] <sahafeez> i like your dad already
[07:04:05] <delewis> sahafeez: precisely. :-)
[07:04:22] <gnu2it2> <sahafeez> dropping names, ehh ?
[07:04:44] <sahafeez> no, just to give perspective on his views to frame the reaction
[07:05:13] <sahafeez> he is a techie - no frys in TN
[07:05:26] <elektronkind> sahafeez: he was a signal corps O2 in 1975, just did ranger school (winter ranger!) and was with some tactical signal batallion there at bragg (which I don't think is active anymore)
[07:05:56] <elektronkind> long time ago
[07:06:01] <gnu2it2> i spent a yr in Tyler, Tx, nothing to do but work, hot as hell and humid,, wish i could forget those days
[07:06:36] <sahafeez> elektronkind: hum, my best friend was signal. i did boot/airborne/ranger/john wayne school for wayward boys...
[07:07:14] <elektronkind> sounds like a decently fun time

[07:20:10] <gnu2it2> do you think steve irwins wife and daughter will carry on with the park and show ?
[07:20:37] <jmcp> yes
[07:22:30] <sahafeez> i hope so. my little one loved to watch him
[07:22:57] <sahafeez> wow. it is like a solaris story a day now on osnews
[07:23:11] <FireflyST> hi guys
[07:23:36] <astinus> Could anyone suggest a lightweight WM which isn't totally impossible to install, and is Xinerama aware?
[07:24:02] <sahafeez> hum, twm
[07:24:25] <rydis> I imagine 9wm or wm2/wmx would fit.
[07:24:30] <sahafeez> check flufbox or blackbox
[07:24:34] <astinus> I tried fluxbox, which memleaked like a bastard; six seconds after it starts its using 4GB of RAM
[07:24:53] * astinus grins
[07:25:07] <sahafeez> really? wow! never seen that. used it for years
[07:25:16] <astinus> I've used it before under Linux, with no issues
[07:25:17] <sahafeez> not on solaris tho so
[07:25:48] <astinus> *shrug* Needless to say, using 4GB of RAM, all my swap and causing my disks to rape themselves = not a good start to our 'relationship' ;)
[07:25:59] <rydis> I use GWM, which isn't really lightweight per se, but hasn't bloated since it hasn't been developed since 1993 or so. Might be a bit of a bother to build, though.
[07:26:10] <rydis> piewm is nice, too.
[07:26:18] <sahafeez> hum, you do not like JDS. it is great as long as you do not drag or drop
[07:26:35] <sahafeez> windowmaker works on solaris
[07:26:41] <astinus> JDS is really 'heavy' and my system dies :/
[07:26:50] <astinus> like window redraws take 10-15 seconds
[07:26:57] <astinus> if I do something that requires all three monitors to refresh totally
[07:26:58] <sahafeez> 486?
[07:27:09] <astinus> ... no actually, which is weird
[07:27:22] <sahafeez> you know you can just say porn, we will not judge you ;)
[07:27:22] <astinus> its a EM64T system :/
[07:27:54] <rydis> I don't use Xinerama myself, so I don't really know how they fare there. (I prefer using separate screens.)
[07:27:59] <sahafeez> ok, a complete atari 130xe is up to $114 on ebay
[07:28:14] *** OnkelSchorsch has joined #opensolaris
[07:28:22] <sahafeez> what are you doing to make the system crawl like that
[07:28:29] <FireflyST> sahafeez: If you need 8 bit atari junk I have the hookup
[07:28:36] <elektronkind> we need to take over lxer with solaris articles ;)
[07:28:51] <astinus> absolutely nothing :/
[07:28:51] <sahafeez> fireflyst, no i am a commodore junk guy
[07:29:05] <astinus> I have no idea why its crawling, and its *very* annoying
[07:29:19] <sahafeez> well i suggest you submit a bug.
[07:29:28] <FireflyST> sahafeez: got hookups locally for that too,lol
[07:29:31] <sahafeez> serirous. or an email to the list with hardware specs etc..
[07:29:48] <sahafeez> fireflyst i need an sdf-1000 drive
[07:29:57] <astinus> I have two nVidia 6200's installed in PCIe, system is a dual 3GHz xeon with 4GB RAM .. and its crawling just doing desktop'y stuff :/
[07:30:12] <FireflyST> sahafeez: is that rare at all?
[07:30:22] <sahafeez> something is broked. sent email to list
[07:30:25] <sahafeez> or ask here durning the day
[07:30:28] <sahafeez> yes
[07:30:30] <sahafeez> very rare
[07:30:42] <sahafeez> oh and a 1551, not 1541 a 1551
[07:31:10] <FireflyST> sahafeez: that's the 3.5" drive, right?
[07:31:57] <sahafeez> no, 1581 is a 3.5. 1551 was a drive just for the c16 and plus4 with a TED interface. it is all black to
[07:32:13] <FireflyST> oh wow
[07:32:40] <FireflyST> sahafeez: I'm not sure any of my cbm usergroup guys have one of those
[07:33:06] <sahafeez> ah, cool. where are you located?
[07:33:21] <sahafeez> i have a nice 128d sitting next to me.
[07:33:28] <sahafeez> oh, a C65 would be cool to.,

[07:42:31] <sahafeez> things were more fun when you had strange hardware that add wierd stuff ..
[07:43:15] <FireflyST> sahafeez: like when adding RTTY was "cool"? :)

[07:46:51] *** sickness has quit IRC
[07:47:30] <sahafeez> bah, that is not a hack. that is not reading the docs.
[07:47:35] *** sickness has joined #opensolaris
[07:48:37] <gnu2it2> i want to thank the folks her and a few other channels for for tips and tricks to get this far !
[07:49:17] <sahafeez> it can be a pain. solaris is differnet.
[07:49:34] <gnu2it2> had to dig out an old sol 5.7 to get format to work and write labels
[07:50:22] <sahafeez> why, boot a gentoo sparc cd. it has the tools on the disk
[07:50:43] <sahafeez> but i guess you do need someone to point that out
[07:50:57] <sahafeez> the fdisk on gentoo sparc can do labels, etc.
[07:51:15] <FireflyST> I'm going to try Solaris Express on my U5 soon
[07:51:29] <Error_404> gentoo sparc is the most retarded thing in the world
[07:51:43] <Error_404> why in blazes would you run linux on sparc in the first place, and gentoo no less
[07:52:23] <sahafeez> now now Error, we are letting our personal dislikes clould your judgement. he just needed the tool.
[07:52:35] <gnu2it2> tried gentoo, ubuntu sol 10, 9, nothing did it to sol 10 liking, but sol 7 did the trick, dont ask me why
[07:52:37] <sahafeez> gentoo linux is nice linux
[07:52:47] <LeftWing> It's Arse-bandit Linux.
[07:53:12] <sahafeez> and i could get fucking aac support in rhythmbox with OPTS="aac" emerge rhythmbox - which i cannot still make work on solaris ;)
[07:53:43] <LeftWing> Heh, rhythmbox.
[07:56:00] <sahafeez> fuck, xmms with aac would work. anything that would play the frecking files
[07:57:48] <LeftWing> sahafeez: Tried xmms with aacplugin?
[07:59:17] <gnu2it2> i bought a sunblade 2000 2x900mhz, 2gb ram, 1x36gb fc-al, should be here early next week, waiting is killing me

[08:00:12] <gnu2it2> small in terms of what many here have, but big step from my u5
[08:00:48] <Error_404> why'd you go sparc, btw?
[08:01:30] <Error_404> sun seems to be pushing sparc (except T1) as more of an afterthought than anything
[08:01:51] <sahafeez> u5 + u10 have completely borked ide interfaces
[08:01:54] <Error_404> they're pushing opteron pretty hard though
[08:02:15] <gnu2it2> been doing aix for 15 yr, but seems solaris jobs are more abundant, so i better learn
[08:03:10] <gnu2it2> need to exceed the 60k mark
[08:04:06] <gnu2it2> ex wife and kid..  i have to eat too
[08:04:09] <sahafeez> smit!
[08:05:08] <gnu2it2> yep,, make a living smitty all day
[08:06:53] <sahafeez> i had aix running on a ps/2 9595 for awhile. the install was all floppies.
[08:08:17] <gnu2it2> ouch, remember the days when slackware was 100 floppy install :)
[08:08:48] <gnu2it2> hehe,, showing age
[08:09:54] <Error_404> somewhere i still have a box of slackware 3.1 floppies
[08:09:56] <sahafeez> ha, slackware 11 just came out. default kernel is 2.4
[08:10:27] <gnu2it2> they have lost any edge
[08:11:20] <sahafeez> i run on my work pbx. that is about it.
[08:11:44] <gnu2it2> ubuntu, fast and easy,, seems to like my hardware as far as desktop, have not played there server side yet
[08:12:32] <gnu2it2> but ubuntu does not pay any bills for me
[08:13:34] <Teltariat> sahafeez: Concerning your quote: "computers are boring now. no fun. no hacking like in the past. i really hate them. just not cool anymore" : I kinda agree, but I guess the thing is just finding the niche in modern computing that makes you happy.  The domain covered by modern computing is so fricking HUGE to begin with anyway.
[08:14:31] <sahafeez> hum, unless you want to write your own os, or gui i do not see it. and i think i was leaning more towards hardware.
[08:14:44] <sahafeez> i mean how many disk dirver were there for a cbm
[08:14:47] <Teltariat> oh, k.
[08:14:49] <sahafeez> and machines?
[08:15:50] <Error_404> there are still interesting hardware neiches
[08:16:09] <gnu2it2> assorted clustering, LPAR, XEN, I would love to master all that on many platforms
[08:16:13] <sahafeez> or just look at the games. ultma series? u4 was the hieght of game play. the graphic sucked. but the story and the play was deep. after that...
[08:16:28] <FireflyST> There aren't tons of different hardware platforms like there used to be
[08:16:31] <sahafeez> nothing new there. there is faq for it
[08:16:58] <Error_404> FireflyST: no, but look at storage for example
[08:17:01] <Error_404> or clusters
[08:17:25] <Error_404> or any other number of things you can have exclusive domain in a room of geeks over
[08:17:42] <LeftWing> sahafeez: There are plenty of novel and interesting computer games that aren't part of the Ultima series. =P
[08:17:55] <sahafeez> importing 34k mp3s into itunes on a g3/600 with the new itunes that wants to find the album art and gapless playback is now on its 24 hour
[08:18:09] <sahafeez> LeftWing, it was an example
[08:18:16] <gnu2it2> and thin clients seem to be coming back in school environments
[08:18:27] <sahafeez> when you did not have the power for the graphics and wow you had to have story and game play
[08:18:48] <sahafeez> thank god. i still do not know why people at work need systems with harddrives
[08:19:03] * FireflyST points to Sierra's space quest series :)
[08:19:19] * LeftWing was always fond of Monkey Island.
[08:19:34] <gnu2it2> thin with USB , you can download your homework to a usb flash
[08:19:35] * FireflyST digs Monkey island also
[08:19:51] * LeftWing points gnu2it2 in the direction of the Sun Ray platform.
[08:19:52] <Error_404> FireflyST: i was always a fan of quest for glory
[08:19:59] <LeftWing> Fight the good fight, more Sun Rays, I say. =)
[08:20:07] <Error_404> sunray server is "free"
[08:20:18] <Error_404> in as far as you can download it from sun, but you're not allowed to use it
[08:20:18] <sahafeez> heck, Civ was the next to fall up until 4 game play was the king each time. 4 was about the flash and game play suffered
[08:20:39] <gnu2it2>  Monkey Island ?
[08:20:49] <LeftWing> Actually I thought Civ 4 had better gameplay than Civ 3.
[08:21:04] <LeftWing> And Civ 2 was incredibly unbalanced once you got as far as Alpine troops.
[08:21:20] <FireflyST> gnu2it2: go to http://www.mixnmojo.com for monkey isand info
[08:21:55] <LeftWing> Error_404: Actually I believe you can use it, you just can't get support.
[08:22:36] <sahafeez> if i had the $$$ to start my startup today it would be netbooted imacs on each desktop
[08:22:52] <LeftWing> lmao
[08:22:56] <LeftWing> What an interesting choice.
[08:22:59] <sahafeez> thumper for storage and opebsd boxes for firewall/routers
[08:23:13] <LeftWing> As if not Sun Rays. =P
[08:23:35] <gnu2it2> imacs whith what Os ?
[08:23:53] <sahafeez> ah, OS X
[08:24:17] <Error_404> can you even netboot OSX?
[08:24:24] <LeftWing> Yes.
[08:24:25] <sahafeez> yes.
[08:24:30] <sahafeez> since always
[08:24:34] <Error_404> good to know
[08:24:35] <FireflyST> yes you can netboot osx hehe
[08:24:48] <sahafeez> steve even did a demo years back of 50 imacs (crts) being netbooted at once
[08:24:54] <FireflyST> you could netboot OS9 too
[08:25:06] <sahafeez> OS is nextstep for the most part
[08:25:27] <gnu2it2> wish i had a imac laptop,, but price is killer on anything worth looking at
[08:25:55] <sahafeez> hum. it is the same as dell for the same hardware specs.
[08:25:58] <Error_404> gnu2it2: i dunno,  i'm thinking my next laptop'll be a macbook
[08:27:17] <FireflyST> mac hw quality running solaris, mmmmmmmmm
[08:27:23] <sahafeez> it is funny you used to never see macs. now every geek fest it is 9 out of 10
[08:27:23] <gnu2it2> my current job requires me to run windoz xp due to some of the tools/apps, wish they wouls convert
[08:27:38] <sahafeez> run it in a vm
[08:28:12] <gnu2it2> disk/ram to vmware, my lt wont do it
[08:28:46] <gnu2it2> 20gb, 512 ram. sux
[08:29:52] <gnu2it2> vm license is 120/yr now ?
[08:29:59] <LeftWing> VMware Server is free.
[08:30:41] <gnu2it2> hmmm better look at vm again

[09:26:31] <sahafeez> help! booted my u80 to install b50 from the dvd. also swapped the hd's. booted, check probe-scsi. sees both disk. installer starts. then when it is looking for the hd to install to it drops out with no disk found. at a term right now and dmesg  shows the disk.
[09:26:56] *** uebayasi has quit IRC
[09:27:11] <sickness> there was a bug like that in b49 IIRC
[09:27:18] <sickness> maybe it's on b50 too? check if the installer not finding the disk but is closed :)
[09:27:31] <sahafeez> well i installed b49 on this box with no issues. so..
[09:27:37] <sahafeez> very strange
[09:27:40] *** crib3 has quit IRC
[09:27:49] <sahafeez> how do you restart the install from the terminal?
[09:28:22] <LeftWing> Does format show the disk?
[09:29:04] <sahafeez> yes
[09:29:10] <sahafeez> looking at them now.
[09:29:24] <sickness> sahafeez: exit?
[09:29:26] <sahafeez> hum, they used to be in a zfs set...
[09:29:33] <LeftWing> Did they have EFI labels?
[09:30:04] <sahafeez> does not look that way...
[09:32:12] <sahafeez> if i exit the "interactive terminal window" will it go back to the install or do i need to reboot
[09:32:59] <LeftWing> Rebooting would probably be simplest.

[09:33:24] <windpaw> hiya :)  It should be possible for dtlogin to query a Linux system via XDMCP, right? I mean, if gdm is configured to accept remote connections 'n all that
[09:33:33] <windpaw> At the moment its not working for me :/
[09:33:50] <sahafeez> yes.
[09:34:00] <sahafeez> there is something you need to do/install on the linux side.

[09:34:30] <windpaw> sahafeez: Oh?
[09:34:51] <sahafeez> i just do not remember what. sorry. not much help
[09:35:06] <windpaw> I've provided the hostname to the 'Rmote
[09:35:08] <windpaw> erk
[09:35:39] <sahafeez> it was some switch on the startup of X
[09:35:41] <windpaw> I've provided the hostname to the 'Remote Login' part, under menus :)  It doesn't object, and X.org fires up - but all I get is a grey background the the 'X' cursor, no display
[09:36:39] <LeftWing> Any firewalls configured on the dtlogin box?
[09:37:01] <windpaw> LeftWing: the box I'm trying to XDMCP to is Linux, and no.
[09:37:09] <sahafeez> did you go thru this - http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/procedure.html#REMOTE
[09:37:21] <sahafeez> sorry this http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/
[09:37:24] <windpaw> sahafeez: Yes, I'm very familiar with remote login. It just doesn't want to work under Solaris :)
[09:37:48] <sahafeez> ah, ok. well i have not done - solaris to linux, just apple and linux to solaris.
[09:37:53] <LeftWing> windpaw: I realise it's Linux, but X11 connections will be made back in to the Solaris box.
[09:38:08] <windpaw> LeftWing: indeed, and I don't think I have firewall enabled, lemme check!

[11:03:28] <sahafeez> question: i am doing some reading. i want to mount an nfs share at boot. simple /etc/vfstab. in looking at the mount options i came over some stuff about /etc/auto_master. some of the reading suggest i use that. does not seem to be a man page.
[11:05:55] <DataStream> sahafeez: the /etc/auto_master is for the automounter
[11:06:13] <sahafeez> ok, can i have the automounter handle my nfs mount
[11:06:43] <DataStream> http://sunsite.uakom.sk/sunworldonline/common/swol-backissues-columns.html#sysadmin
[11:06:56] <DataStream> the hal stern stuff is all about the automounter
[11:07:09] <DataStream> its very old, but not much has changed apparently
[11:07:31] <sahafeez> thanks. reading now..
[11:07:38] <DataStream> no prob
[11:08:20] <sahafeez> what is the proper way to do it. automounter or vfstab
[11:08:49] *** loke has quit IRC
[11:09:20] *** mega has joined #opensolaris
[11:09:22] <DataStream> sahafeez: im not really upto spec on the automounter, so cant say about that, but if you simpley want to mount a NFS share at boot /etc/vfstab should serfice
[11:09:29] <andersmo> both are "proper". =)
[11:10:00] <sahafeez> k. thanks
[11:10:09] <andersmo> But automounting _is_ a very common way to automate NFS mounts. =)

[11:58:35] <paxc> sahafeez : 2.6 was the worst solaris ever -_-
[11:58:56] <sahafeez> what is the last release that will install on a ss5?
[11:59:43] <paxc> if I know what you wanna mean woth ss5 I can help you :) ss5 == sparc5?
[11:59:57] <sahafeez> yes
[12:00:26] <paxc> ultra-5?
[12:00:41] <rydis> Solaris 9, then.
[12:00:52] <paxc> well I have one ultra-5 with 2.5.1, for me the best solaris until solaris 10
[12:01:09] <rydis> For a SS5, that is.
[12:01:33] <paxc> do you need ISO image?
[12:01:48] <sahafeez> yes.
[12:02:09] <paxc> hum.. let me see where is this file now :)
[12:02:10] <sahafeez> what was wrong with 2.6?
[12:02:37] <paxc> well I remember install solaris 6 on my ultra-5
[12:03:08] <paxc> so slow....
[12:03:14] <paxc> a preffer solaris 7
[12:03:27] <paxc> solaris 6 I thing was the worst solaris ever
[12:03:38] <sahafeez> the ultra 5 was slow because the dma was busted to hell in the hardware.
[12:03:50] <sahafeez> u5 and u10 were crap
[12:04:02] <boyd> Slow slow boxes... I have one :(
[12:04:05] <rydis> I had a lot more issues with pre-2.5 Solaris.
[12:04:10] <boyd> (evening all)
[12:04:34] <rydis> (But that was as a user, and them being ill-temperedly SysV-ish.)
[12:04:54] <sahafeez> you know what - forget it. i found a working link to install from linux. i will just install linux on the ss5 as it will be faster
[12:05:10] <sahafeez> u5/u10=crap
[12:05:19] <boyd> And so much better supported....
[12:05:24] <paxc> sahafeez = lol
[12:05:40] <paxc> solaris 2.5.1 all patches are so much better then all linux :)
[12:05:54] <paxc> but its your machine
[12:05:55] <sahafeez> we had about 30 of them as desktops. sent them back and got u30s
[12:06:08] <rydis> sahafeez: Solaris 9 should install fine on an SS5. Whether or ot it's faster than Linux is hard to say.
[12:06:21] <rydis> s/ ot / not
[12:06:27] <sahafeez> hum, paxc, think what i will do now that i have read thru the linux does is install openbsd and adapt the docs for bsd.
[12:06:56] <paxc> sahafeez : well if fast to you is shows firefox fast well its more fast
[12:07:12] <paxc> sahafeez : bsd are much better then linux ideed
[12:07:17] <paxc> indeed
[12:07:58] <sahafeez> the damn dvd on my u80 will only read the burned dvd 1 out of 10 boots. getting sick of it. just need a jumpstart server...
[12:08:12] <sahafeez> or a new scsi dvd that the sun will boot from
[12:08:39] <paxc> yesterday I have so much problems with one jumpstart on e10K
[12:08:42] <quasi> sahafeez: jumpstart is nicer

[12:10:10] <sahafeez> ?

[12:23:05] <sahafeez> found a solution?

[16:15:49] <elflord> i have a box here, with 2 equal scsi hdds
[16:17:02] <elflord> currently, i have the following disk layout: 512mib for /, 7gib for /usr, 2gib for /var... rest of the hdd for /exports/home
[16:17:19] <elflord> is it possible anyhow to get /exports/home into a zfs partition?
[16:17:33] <elflord> i mean, i currently only use one of the disks but i want to have them mirrored
[16:17:54] <Auralis> yes, just don't create a /export/home and set the zpool to use the free slice

[16:22:48] <elflord> mhhh okay, thanks ^^
[16:23:27] <elflord> would it be also possible, to have the root and usr filesystems as normal ufs and only the home directories on zfs... and this whole thing mirrored?
[16:24:06] <Auralis> yes
[16:24:16] *** axisys has quit IRC
[16:24:23] <Auralis> you mirror the ufs with svm and created a zpool mirror for the rest
[16:25:44] <elflord> so this means that svm only acts on the filesystems i tell him but not on the complete disk, right?

[17:33:26] <Bernyhome> .oO(i just wanted to add to disks mirrored to an existing pool... now i ended up having both disks as stripes in the pool :-\)

[19:37:39] <silly_girl22> someone has one of my keys, RSA i think from seeing a ssh login. what can i do to protect my solaris computer?
[19:38:52] <sickness> disable rsa at all
[19:38:57] <sickness> I prefer dsa over them
[19:39:08] <_william_> remove network cable :-)
[19:39:26] <sickness> but if someone already broken, it could have put rootkits or backdoors around, so the better thing to do is rebuild it

[19:40:33] *** gnu2it2 has joined #opensolaris
[19:42:00] <jamesd_> onlinebacon, solaris express is usually a little older than the community release

[22:00:04] <onlinebacon> How can I use ZFS as my file system, using Solaris Express Community edition, from the install?
[22:00:14] <jamesd> you can't
[22:00:22] *** cneira_ has joined #opensolaris
[22:00:23] <onlinebacon> oh ok
[22:00:35] <jamesd> and zfs has to be hacked to make it a boot file system.
[22:00:40] <axisys> tsoome: i do have a /kernel/drv/log file
[22:00:52] <onlinebacon> ahh, ok
[22:02:07] <axisys> jamesd: any idea when zfs will be available as an option during install?
[22:02:16] <richlowe> You have to jump hoops to use zfs as /, you can't boot from it in general currently.
[22:02:25] <axisys> jamesd: not implying u should know.. just curious
[22:02:26] <jamesd> next year...  maybe update 4
[22:02:35] <onlinebacon> ooh ok
[22:02:37] <richlowe> so as far as jamesd's "have to hack it", it's not just complex hoop jumping.
[22:02:41] <richlowe> it's teaching grub how to understand ZFS.
[22:02:46] <richlowe> completely. :)
[22:02:50] <onlinebacon> :)
[22:02:54] <richlowe> (at least until the zfsboot project appears...)
[22:02:57] <axisys> richlowe: how about for sparc?
[22:03:20] <axisys> axisys: i am using zfs boot file system for x86 on my ultra 20
[22:03:40] <axisys> (talking to myself..heh)
[22:03:55] <axisys> richlowe: that was to u :-)
[22:04:11] <tsoome> there are some samples how to make zfs for /
[22:04:23] <tsoome> but it's hack
[22:05:24] <oxygene> axisys: on sparc, you must either teach obp ELF and zfs (via interposition), or teach the secondary loader (of solaris) zfs
[22:05:29] <richlowe> ok.
[22:05:35] <richlowe> There is a difference between having zfs be /
[22:05:38] <richlowe> and from booting from it.
[22:05:42] <richlowe> the former is possible, with the hack.
[22:05:47] <richlowe> which is using a UFS filesystem to boot from.
[22:06:14] <richlowe> oxygene: I believe the plan is grub.
[22:06:21] <richlowe> oxygene: but i'm still hoping I totally misunderstood that. :)
[22:06:26] <oxygene> richlowe: please not.
[22:06:30] <oxygene> btw, olpc will have openfirmware on x86
[22:06:46] <richlowe> Hey, don't tell me, I'm just remembering prior conversation :)
[22:06:47] <oxygene> (mitch bradleys, ie. sun's openboot sibling)
[22:07:00] <richlowe> oxygene: did you see the sun4v bits of OBP were in the opensparc stuff now?
[22:07:07] <oxygene> richlowe: yes
[22:07:08] <axisys> richlowe: agreed.. i followed this article http://solaristhings.blogspot.com/2006/06/zfs-root-on-solaris-part-3.html
[22:07:13] * richlowe is kinda sad the 4u platform stuff isn't there, but it's a decent and interesting chunk of stuff.
[22:07:43] <axisys> tsoome: i am using the above link .. just posted
[22:08:16] <axisys> so sparc will use grub in the future?
[22:08:17] <oxygene> richlowe: firmworks might be a better target for an OF bootloader for x86.. I'm still hoping for that kind of a migration instead of grub to non-x86
[22:08:48] <oxygene> (and yes, I'd even write a zfs interpose package, if that would help turn around that decision to OF's favor)

[22:15:24] <tsoome> axisys: and once again, it will be created once kernel will manage to load log module;)
[22:16:20] <richlowe> oxygene: I had hoped that AMD would grow a pair, and start moving away from the more legacy aspects of x86.
[22:16:25] <richlowe> oxygene: doesn't seem to be happening though.
[22:16:33] <oxygene> richlowe: they look into EFI these days
[22:16:52] <oxygene> richlowe: some people there were interested in OF for a while, but it probably seemed too risky back then
[22:17:18] <tsoome> axisys: you did an upgrade or installed patches before you did loose it?
[22:17:23] *** gnu2it2 has joined #opensolaris
[22:17:30] <Error_404> it might've been a smart move (for a couple reasons) to put athlon on bios & opteron on OF/EFI/something
[22:17:41] <axisys> tsoome: i use update manager
[22:17:50] <axisys> tsoome: one of those probably killed it
[22:17:51] <tsoome> so you did install patches
[22:17:58] <richlowe> Error_404: the issue there is needing the backward compat to bootstrap amd64 as an arch.
[22:18:01] <axisys> tsoome: yes.. tons of them
[22:18:07] <richlowe> you can't say "Here's a new machine, it breaks everything" (look at intel, for that...)
[22:18:12] <tsoome> so obviously log part was not updated
[22:18:20] <axisys> tsoome: the update manager tells u hey i got new patches for u
[22:18:39] <richlowe> Or even worse, follow DEC's lead, and ship 3 different firmware images, depending on target OS.
[22:18:40] <tsoome> and therefore there is no help from installing new clean package from install media
[22:18:49] <axisys> tsoome: and u install the ones that are security and recommned mostly
[22:19:00] <oxygene> Error_404: bios can be implemented inside a vm86 instance relatively easy.. that is, OF or EFI for the "real stuff", vm86 for legacy.. that's how windows boot from linuxbios works, for example
[22:19:15] <axisys> tsoome: i am still hoping there is a light end of this tunnel.. (conversation) :-)
[22:19:21] <tsoome> do smpatch analyze and check if there are still some left uninstalled
[22:19:43] <axisys> tsoome: assuming that magic patch will fix it.. correct?
[22:19:46] <gnu2it2> what should the md5sum for nv-b50 dvd be ?
[22:19:47] <tsoome> or seeks sunsolve to find out most recent patch for log module
[22:19:50] <oxygene> hmm.. had some really ugly bugs in my gnustep installers, but they should be fixed now :)
[22:19:53] <richlowe> gnu2it2: x86 or sparc?
[22:19:56] <Error_404> i still find the most unfortunate move by a tech company in recent years to be apple's move to junk86
[22:19:59] <gnu2it2> sparc
[22:20:05] <axisys> tsoome: now u r talking.. good idea
[22:20:18] <richlowe> this is going to take a little while... :)
[22:20:27] <oxygene> cute, netbeans5.5 is released
[22:20:35] <tsoome> I thougth you have tryed this already;)
[22:20:54] <axisys> tsoome: i reinstalled SUNWcsd..
[22:21:02] <tsoome> then I remembered you talked about s10u2;)
[22:21:05] <axisys> tsoome: but did not search patches
[22:21:22] <axisys> tsoome: i am using sol10u2 on ultra 20
[22:21:31] <tsoome> well since obviously some part of the kernel is new....

[22:26:55] <axisys> tsoome: will try now.. how did u search for it? thxn for making me look stupid
[22:27:04] <axisys> tsoome: i could not find shit
[22:27:27] <tsoome> grep drv/log /var/sadm/patch/*/R* ;)
[22:27:50] <tsoome> I happen to have one 4100 with s10u2:)
[22:28:13] <axisys> tsoome: heh
[22:28:17] <tsoome> and yes, sunsolve search sucks;)
[22:28:17] <axisys> tsoome: smart
[22:28:33] <axisys> tsoome: glad .. i am not that stupid .. heh

[22:53:57] <axisys> tsoome: what is error code 7 means?
[22:54:54] *** bunker has quit IRC
[22:54:56] <syndrome71> depends on what gave it to you...
[22:55:05] <syndrome71> from /usr/include/sys/errno.h:
[22:55:09] <syndrome71> #define ENXIO   6 /* No such device or address          */
[22:55:10] <syndrome71> #define E2BIG   7 /* Arg list too long                  */
[22:55:10] <syndrome71> #define ENOEXEC 8 /* Exec format error                  */
[22:55:46] *** Somethingelse has quit IRC
[22:55:52] <syndrome71> But - That's only valid if that is the error the utility was returning. If it has it's own internal error meanings, then clearly, that won't help... :)
[22:56:09] <axisys> syndrome71: i was just gonna say that
[22:56:29] <axisys> patchrm gave status 7 .. may not be system error code
[22:56:32] <syndrome71> So - What gave you an error code 7?
[22:56:33] <tsoome> you can try patchrm -G
[22:56:41] <tsoome> but read man patchrm before
[22:58:17] <axisys> tsoome: it seems reinstalling after remove went successfully.. but the the device/psesudo/log@ still missing
[22:58:43] <tsoome> reboot it, you have new kernel;)
[22:59:38] <axisys> ok
[22:59:45] <axisys> tsoome: boot -r ?
[22:59:46] <jmcp_> the patchrm manpage doesn't indicate that it has any special / overloaded meaning for the exit codes, so it *should* therefore be using /usr/include/sys/errno.h definitions
[23:00:09] <axisys> jmcp_: hmm
[23:00:37] <tsoome> patchrm used to be ksh script and error cores were described in it, but today it's binary and noone bothered to update manual
[23:00:44] <boyd> Patchadd uses it's own codes... rm could too
[23:01:02] <boyd> tsoome: yeah, that's annoying... same with add
[23:01:02] <tsoome> sad to see solaris is going the linux path.....
[23:02:54] <jmcp_> tsoome: in what way?
[23:03:38] <tsoome> manuals are becoming not really useful....
[23:03:51] <jmcp_> ??
[23:04:00] <richlowe> Eh?
[23:04:01] <jmcp_> I must have missed some context
[23:04:17] <richlowe> manual *pages*, or docs.sun.com manuals?
[23:04:36] <tsoome> well, if patchrm will give error core 7 and you cant get the meaning for that (other than it's error)
[23:04:48] <tsoome> s/core/code/
[23:05:38] <jmcp_> tsoome: one would assume that you require absolutely every single error code to be fully documented, rather than giving, eg, the most commonly observed error conditions
[23:06:05] <jmcp_> and leaving the rest to the user's inquisitiveness
[23:06:14] <axisys> tsoome: rebooted.. still missing the pseudo device log
[23:06:39] <sahafeez> well just installed b50. drag and drop still locks the desktop up
[23:06:40] <axisys> tsoome: man time to convert sol 10 u2 to solaris express on this u 20
[23:06:55] <tsoome> :D
[23:07:14] <axisys> tsoome: unless u or someone in this chnl have other suggestion
[23:07:45] <tsoome> well there may be some other patch is broken
[23:07:51] <tsoome> or not installed
[23:08:28] <axisys> is there log somewhere or not installed patches?
[23:08:34] <axisys> s/or/of/
[23:08:58] <tsoome> for installed - /var/sadm/patch/*/log
[23:09:19] <jmcp_> axisys: do you have a /kernel/drv/log.conf file?
[23:09:55] <axisys> jmcp_: yep i do as a matter of fact and it look normal
[23:10:12] <axisys> name="log" parent="pseudo" instance=0;
[23:10:15] <jmcp_> name="log" parent="pseudo" instance=0;
[23:10:20] <jmcp_> yeah, that matches
[23:10:21] <axisys> jmcp_: :-)
[23:10:22] <tsoome> axisys: you can try to download latest recommended kit and install it - then all important ones should be added
[23:10:24] <jmcp_> and the log driver is loaded?
[23:10:33] <axisys> jmcp_: nawp
[23:10:53] <axisys> jmcp_: that is what i have been trying to achieve by modload log
[23:11:12] <jmcp_> have you tried     devfsadm -i log    ?
[23:11:15] <axisys> it fails like this, can't load module: No such file or directory
[23:11:20] <axisys> jmcp_: nawp
[23:11:35] <jmcp_> give it a go
[23:11:37] <axisys> devfsadm: driver failed to attach: log
[23:11:44] <jmcp_> that could be a problem then
[23:11:51] <axisys> jmcp_: no kidn' :P

[23:12:24] <axisys> log 21

[23:36:04] <Symmetria> heh ftp.cdc.noaa.gov mirror = 580gigs
[23:36:12] <boyd> Symmetria: http://freshmeat.net/projects/star/
[23:36:17] <Symmetria> hopefully will be finishing moving it over by the time I wake up

[23:37:02] <Symmetria> boyd u think there will be that big a speed difference considering that these are really really large files and not that many of them?
[23:37:06] <Symmetria> (like 400meg a file)
[23:37:24] <boyd> Symmetria: well, star will use a fifo, so it reads and writes in parallel
[23:37:31] <Symmetria> woulda thought the disk i/o woulda capped first
[23:37:39] <boyd> Maybe
[23:38:38] <Symmetria> I actually need to buy another 3 SAN's
[23:38:39] <boyd> my exp is that I get better streaming with it... esp with -no-fsync
[23:38:47] <Symmetria> then I can run a single zpool of 3 san's combined
[23:38:52] <Symmetria> and mirror it onto another zpool of 3 san's
[23:39:02] <Symmetria> so if I loose one I dont loose everything
[23:39:03] <Error_404> cdc.noaa = center for disease control?
[23:39:15] <Symmetria> though the san's are already raid 6
[23:39:31] <Symmetria> error no, cdc.noaa deals with crap like pressure sets and stuff
[23:39:34] <Symmetria> earth science data
[23:39:38] <Error_404> ahh
[23:40:10] <Symmetria> heh, I got a couple more large mirrors i need to bring online shortly

[23:49:58] <Symmetria> hrm, drive temps of 36 degrees centigrade in a SAN
[23:50:03] <Symmetria> thats not 2 bad is it?

[23:56:58] <Gman> gisburn, do you ever get people having problems taking you seriously?
[23:57:55] <twincest> we are solaris of gisburn, ksh93 will be integrated
[23:58:25] <gisburn> Gman: sorry, I am just venting my frustration about http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration/ ...
[23:58:51] <Gman> is it happening to any other projects?
[23:59:07] <gisburn> Gman: It shows a "Resource Not Found" since a couple of days
[23:59:26] <gisburn> Gman: so far it appears to be limited to ksh93-integration only
