[00:00:09] <nachox> you have to install it fresh at least once...
[00:00:24] <cmihai> (in a while) :)
[00:00:25] <timeless> how do i start the installer again from a command prompt?

[00:08:25] <Stric> hrm. anyone know about locale changes between b48 and b53? I've been using 'locale en_US;locale en_GB;locale sv;geo N_Europe' before and it's been working since sol8 at least.. in b53, it doesn't know about any of them after boot
[00:08:34] <richlowe> I believe twincest implented it quite a while ago.
[00:08:37] <richlowe> so I'd assume at least one person.

[00:12:01] <timeless> The Solaris Version (Solaris 11) on slice c2d0s0 cannot be upgraded. A non-global zone could not be mounted.
[00:12:14] <timeless> ok, so how many different reasons are there for not being able to do an upgrade? :(

[00:13:40] <schily> where?
[00:14:31] <stevel> timeless: we have a crack team of engineers working to thwart you at every turn ;-)
[00:14:33] <Stric> you just asked it and people answered ;)
[00:14:44] <timeless> stevel: they're very good
[00:15:05] * timeless tries to figure out how to mount c2d0s0
[00:15:34] <schily> who did answer when?
[00:16:01] <Stric> 00:08 (richlowe) I believe twincest implented it quite a while ago.
[00:16:01] <Stric> 00:08 (richlowe) so I'd assume at least one person.
[00:16:25] <schily> the problem is that when many people discuss many topics it is hard to tell wether an answer is for you...
[00:16:36] <twincest> http://www.knams.wikimedia.org/~kate/solaris-patches/sh-libtecla.diff
[00:16:39] <twincest> it's a bit rough but iirc it works okay
[00:17:12] * timeless wonders how to tell solaris it has no zones
[00:17:26] <richlowe> supportedly? remove them.
[00:17:45] <timeless> well, just so the upgrader will shut u
[00:18:10] <schily> I have the shell running since an hour with my bsh editor (the editor I wrote in 1984)

[01:20:48] <timeless> my ssytem is very unhappy
[01:20:54] <timeless> ooh, wierd
[01:21:06] <timeless> i got an nvidia screen
[01:21:18] <timeless> does snv_53 upgrade over snv_49 w/ nvidia automatically keep the nvidia driver?
[01:22:36] <timeless> <!> The application gnome-session has crashed.
[01:22:40] <timeless> (x) Close
[01:22:47] <timeless> i hope i don't need gnome session
[01:25:57] <richlowe> make sure hal is enabled.
[01:26:02] <richlowe> then (probably) log back in.
[01:26:13] * richlowe thought alanc mentioned a first-use crash of gnome-session with 53
[01:26:33] <timeless> is it bad that volfs is in maintenance :)
[01:26:37] <timeless> or not running or something
[01:26:45] <richlowe> No, because it's not there anymore.
[01:26:51] <alanc> timeless, snv_53 installs the current nvidia driver no matter what your system previously had
[01:26:59] <timeless> alanc: yum
[01:27:04] <richlowe> not sure why it doesn't delete the service, however.
[01:27:13] <timeless> richlowe: that was my follow up question :)
[01:27:15] <alanc> bug, fixed in nv_54
[01:27:16] <Tpenta> g'day alan
[01:27:59] <alanc> don't remember the bug id, just lots of e-mail from Artem (tamarack lead) about the services being deleted on upgrade was fixed in 54
[01:28:15] <alanc> richlowe: yeah - never did debug why it crashed on me

[01:43:17] <timeless> certainly looks different in snv_53 :)
[01:43:27] <timeless> ooh, there are icons in the gnome menu!
[01:44:52] <Auralis> gnome menu had icons since the dawn of time
[01:45:09] <timeless> i broke something in one of my upgrades
[01:45:09] <McBofh> yeah, they're just a bit sexier now
[01:45:12] <timeless> so my snv_49 didn't
[01:45:21] <timeless> well, maybe 4 out of 50 items had icons :)

[01:57:21] * timeless wonders how to figure out which is the current version of openoffice for solaris
[01:57:41] <Auralis> why not just use the included staroffice?
[01:57:58] <timeless> well, i don't really have space on /
[01:58:10] <timeless> if i can tell the package manager to install to /opt, that's fine
[01:58:20] <timeless> otherwise, is there any reason to use the included staroffice?
[01:58:34] <alanc> nv_53 only has StarOffice 7, which is a bit behind current OpenOffice
[01:58:45] <Auralis> added cliparts, working theosaurus, spellchecker etc
[01:58:50] <alanc> nv_54 on the other hand...
[01:59:20] <Auralis> pkgadd -R /opt should reloc the pkgs to /opt, but since its build for sitting in /usr ...

[02:26:41] <richlowe> no comment.
[02:26:44] <boyd> It could have been "Sun Java Developer Express System Facility Server"
[02:26:49] <Tpenta> this is teh reason i was so happy to make it into b54
[02:26:51] <boyd> There was bitching here and there.
[02:26:56] <richlowe> Tpenta: again, no comment.
[02:27:02] <syphilis> i missed drama?
[02:27:33] <Error_404> boyd: what a long, meaningless name
[02:27:42] <gisburn> alanc: and I am unhappy about that... IMHO at least bug ids should be quoted in such cases.
[02:27:47] <boyd> syphilis: Just more of Sun springing something unannounced and unexpectedly on there own open source community.
[02:27:54] * boyd is in a badmood today

[02:29:08] <boyd> syphilis: Lol
[02:29:13] <gisburn> ... <trallalalala> the sun is shining bright and hot ... <trallalalala> <trallalalala> ...
[02:29:25] <alanc> gisburn: what bug ids?
[02:29:37] <gisburn> alanc: for the lockdown ...
[02:29:51] <gisburn> boyd: feel better ? Or do you need more <trallalalala> <trallalalala> <trallalalala> ?
[02:30:10] <boyd> Umm... no, that will be ample, thanks :)
[02:30:18] <gisburn> good
[02:30:25] <alanc> there was no list of bug ids to publish
[02:30:26] * boyd is strangely not feeling that much better :)
[02:30:50] <alanc> I don't know what you'ld expect to see bug ids for
[02:31:16] *** yippi has quit IRC
[02:31:23] <gisburn> alanc: if the ksh93 thing would be near putback I would have wailred and begged around but thanks to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH dilemma we're now many many MONTHS away from a putback.
[02:32:05] <alanc> the lockdown was simply a "we'll only accept fixes for bugs of a certain priority - no new features/RFE's" sort of thing, so there was no set list of bug ids known in advance
[02:33:01] <syphilis> lockdown?
[02:34:28] <McBofh> syphilis: when the gate is mightily restricted
[02:34:41] <syphilis> how long does that last?
[02:34:46] <McBofh> depends
[02:34:51] <alanc> in this case, for builds 54 & 55
[02:35:00] <syphilis> ah ok
[02:35:07] <syphilis> not until the S11 release or anything :)
[02:35:15] <alanc> not yet
[02:35:34] <richlowe> part of 56 maybe somewhat limited too.
[02:35:53] *** dlynes_laptop has joined #opensolaris
[02:36:00] <Error_404> tbh, i think a 6 month or whatever bug-gate is a good idea
[02:36:17] <alanc> at some point, when the S11 release starts approaching, various freezes will start happening - feature freeze, RFE freeze, low-priority bug freeze, show-stoppers only, etc.
[02:36:18] <Error_404> restrict new features for a few builds every 6 months.... keep the tree bug-free
[02:36:34] <Error_404> or just do what linux does... if it compiles, it's in
[02:36:51] <richlowe> The idea is that every effort is made to *always* keep the gate pleasant.
[02:37:33] <gisburn> dduvall: ping!
[02:37:49] <Stric> Error_404: you're describing some development trees, but not all are like that

[02:50:20] <timeless> ever used 'Disk Usage Analyzer'?
[02:50:25] <timeless> it's a bit, um, "clever"
[02:50:31] <timeless> it seems to think:
[02:50:34] <alanc> and people think I'm crazy when I say not to use BFU if you're not building ON yourself
[02:50:51] <timeless> Total file system capacity: 50820.4 GB (used: 69.4 GB available: 50750.9 GB)
[02:51:08] <dlg> thats a lot of disks

[02:51:52] <timeless> i only have 231 now
[02:52:07] <boyd> alanc: some people would consider breaking prodreg a feature
[02:52:10] <syphilis> alanc: prodreg is evil
[02:52:12] <alanc> hmm - mine says Total FileSystem Capacity: 822.6 GB on my SB2500 with 72gb disk
[02:52:27] <timeless> alanc: so yours is clever too? :)
[02:52:34] <alanc> haven't played with it in a long time
[02:52:39] <timeless> should i file the bug? :)
[02:52:40] <alanc> think it's picking up all my nfs mounts
[02:52:48] <timeless> heh
[02:52:57] <timeless> mine just thinks that counting zfs volumes repeatedly is a good idea
[02:53:03] <richlowe> I suspect it's adding the available space on zfs fses too.
[02:53:04] <timeless> after all, each has the free space, right?
[02:53:16] <richlowe> yeah, what timeless said.
[02:54:14] * timeless wonders what gnome disk usage is in bugzilla.gnome.org
[02:54:27] <timeless> baobab?!
[02:54:32] *** xushi has quit IRC
[02:54:39] <alanc> yeah - it seems to be picking up the 206G on the home directory filesystem my /home is mounted from and the 544G on the file server I'm mounting the studio compilers from
[02:55:04] <timeless> so for you the numbers are correct?
[02:55:23] <alanc> if you count NFS mounts, yes
[02:55:25] <richlowe> maybe better to file it with the JDS folks and let them push it upstream?
[02:55:34] <alanc> but only because I don't have multiple mounts of the same fs
[02:55:47] <timeless> richlowe: you mean use b.o.o?
[02:55:56] <richlowe> unfortunately, I do.
[02:55:57] <timeless> i'd rather hit my head against the internal walls we have
[02:56:07] <richlowe> It's ok, you'll probably do both.
[02:56:08] <timeless> even though they're glass, they're probably better
[02:56:19] <richlowe> they tend to be related.
[02:56:36] <alanc> oh - the preferences panel lets you turn off filesystems so it won't count them
[02:57:03] <richlowe> that's hardly a solution.
[02:57:05] <timeless> alanc: this may take a while?
[02:57:13] <timeless> it's not multiselect
[02:57:18] <timeless> that's like, um
[02:57:23] <timeless> 250-300 clicks
[02:57:25] <alanc> didn't say it was a good answer
[02:57:26] <timeless> maybe more
[02:58:39] <timeless> alanc: do you have a bgo account?
[02:58:48] <timeless> (richlowe: do you?)
[02:59:02] <richlowe> Don't think so.
[02:59:37] <timeless> alanc: can you verify that baobab does the wrong thing for nfs?
[02:59:38] <alanc> timeless: yes

[03:04:09] <timeless> oh man
[03:04:20] <timeless> baobab has some dangerously stupid buttons
[03:04:43] <jbk> jlc: have you tried your aircard yet?
[03:04:51] <jlc> alanc, Coopersmith right?
[03:04:58] <alanc> jlc: yes
[03:05:19] <timeless> hrm
[03:05:33] <timeless> two zfs volumes can share used space too, right?
[03:05:33] <jlc> jbk: no i turned it off back awhile ago cause i got one free to use for work and just used it on call in my winxp work laptop, then changed groups so don't have it anymore
[03:05:51] <timeless> a zfs snapshot and a zfs foopy...
[03:06:24] <jbk> that sucks.. the S720s work reasonably well
[03:07:01] <jlc> cool
[03:07:10] <jlc> maybe I'll fire it up again :)
[03:07:33] <jbk> just follow the docs on opensolaris.org.. though if you use inetmenu, i'd recommend a one line change to your ppd config file
[03:08:06] <jlc> doh
[03:08:21] <jlc> I forgot I got a new laptop and it has expresscard....
[03:08:28] <jbk> replace 'nodetach' to 'updetach'

[03:12:40] <alanc> I cd'ed to the /net/... path for my home directory and it added 200gb more to the total capacity
[03:13:31] <timeless> i suppose i should have searched to make sure they didn't have a report
[03:14:10] <timeless> nah :)
[03:14:32] *** rodrickbrown_ has joined #opensolaris
[03:14:35] <pdkl> sigh
[03:14:45] <pdkl> you think opensolaris will have a termcap preinstalled
[03:14:48] <rodrickbrown_> man the speeds from sun.com are horrid
[03:14:51] <rodrickbrown_> 70k :(
[03:15:13] <syphilis> it does, but why are you using termcap?
[03:15:34] <pdkl> termcap effects the arrow keys in terminal right?
[03:15:43] <pdkl> i get ^[[[
[03:15:45] <syphilis> no, most modern programs use terminfo for that
[03:16:03] <pdkl> ok.. terminfo....
[03:16:05] <syphilis> termcap is a legacy interface
[03:16:24] <syphilis> perhaps your $TERM is set wrongly
[03:16:27] <richlowe> and you didn't say which shell.
[03:16:30] <pdkl> default install
[03:16:31] <richlowe> I would bet it's /bin/sh
[03:16:34] <pdkl> how can it be wrong?
[03:16:43] <jlc> heh, just realized update 3 was out....
[03:16:46] <syphilis> how you installed it has nothing to do with which terminal you're using
[03:16:54] <syphilis> or yes, it could be that you're using /bin/sh
[03:16:59] <syphilis> (which doesn't support line editing)
[03:17:08] <pdkl> i just switched it to bash
[03:17:15] <pdkl> thanks to someone on here :D
[03:17:29] <pdkl> point is, i want my line editing
[03:17:30] <pdkl> :P
[03:17:33] *** adp has joined #opensolaris
[03:17:47] <syphilis> in what?  bash?
[03:17:52] <pdkl> yes bash
[03:17:58] <syphilis> what is $TERM set to?
[03:18:10] <pdkl> xterm
[03:18:47] <McBofh> set -o emacs
[03:19:01] <jlc> I thought it was
[03:19:03] <jlc> set -o vi
[03:19:12] <syphilis> pdkl: echo $SHELL
[03:19:26] <pdkl> '/usr/bin/bash'
[03:19:39] <pdkl> hmm
[03:19:42] <syphilis> what kind of terminal are you using?
[03:20:03] <pdkl> perhaps i should have closed it down after editing the default shell ;)
[03:20:06] <pdkl> my bad ;)
[03:20:09] *** halton has joined #opensolaris
[03:20:27] <syphilis> echo $SHELL said bash even though you didn't restart the shell?
[03:20:36] <pdkl> yeah
[03:20:42] <jlc> jbk: I see now that was part of the WWAN project
[03:25:19] <timeless> shouldn't pkgadd -d . only list packages i haven't already installed?
[03:25:30] <jlc> pkginfo
[03:25:45] <timeless> that's not what i'm trying to do
[03:25:54] <timeless> i'm trying ot add some packages i haven't installed
[03:26:09] <jlc> oh
[03:26:11] <jlc> haven't
[03:26:19] <jlc> how would it know what you haven't installed?
[03:26:33] <jlc> pkgadd -d . <something> will install it
[03:26:33] <timeless> well, pkginfo knows what i have installed, no?
[03:26:42] <jlc> right
[03:26:43] <timeless> just show me everything else :)
[03:26:51] <jlc> how does it know?
[03:27:08] <timeless> same way pkginfo does?
[03:27:22] <timeless> i'm not asking it to iinstall anything, just don't suggest things that are already there
[03:27:59] <jlc> does this dir "." have packages to be installed at the moment?
[03:28:06] * timeless shrugs
[03:28:09] <timeless> i think it did when i started
[03:28:51] <jlc> I'm trying to understand what your doing and what you want, so far it sounds like you want to know what isn't installed in the world of solaris pkgs on your box
[03:29:08] <syphilis> he wants pkgadd -d . to not show packages that are already installed
[03:29:14] <timeless> i'm in a directory that contains openoffice packages
[03:29:16] <jlc> are you in a dir were there are actually pkgs to install would be a yes/no answer
[03:29:17] <jlc> ;)
[03:29:28] <timeless> i didn't ask it to install all of them the fist time
[03:29:32] <timeless> s/fist/first/
[03:29:40] <timeless> but now i want to add the onces i missed
[03:29:50] <timeless> without going over the ones that i already installed
[03:30:23] <jlc>  pkginfo -L | grep <something> in your dir
[03:30:24] * timeless wonders why openoffice didn't appear in the gnome menus after this full install
[03:30:37] <timeless> jlc: no no no
[03:30:42] <timeless> this really isn't complicated
[03:30:57] <timeless> pkgadd -d . gives a list of packages available in the current directory
[03:30:58] <jlc> oh, thought you wanted an answer ;)
[03:31:08] <timeless> well, i do, kinda
[03:31:11] <jlc> it installs them
[03:31:18] <jlc> doesn't matter if they are there
[03:31:25] <timeless> well, it asks which to choose
[03:31:27] <jlc> it will want to unless you keep hitting no
[03:31:37] <timeless> and then bothers me with yes / no questions until it runs out of pacakges
[03:31:42] <timeless> which is fairly annoying
[03:31:51] <jbk> you can modify the admin file
[03:31:54] <timeless> i don't mind being bothered for packages i haven't installed
[03:31:55] <jlc> if you just grep what is installed compared to what ooo pkgs are there that would telll you which ones aren't installed and then install them
[03:32:09] <timeless> yeah, but see
[03:32:18] <timeless> programs are supposed to do work for people
[03:32:26] <timeless> people aren't supposed to have to do work for programs
[03:32:30] <jlc> yeah, but you would be done by now....
[03:32:33] <timeless> division of labor and stuff
[03:32:40] <timeless> i am done by now
[03:33:15] <jlc> i'm reading the man page now to see if there is a switch
[03:34:17] <timeless> sure doesn't look like it's available
[03:34:20] * timeless sighs
[03:34:45] <timeless> what do i feel like i'm asking for amazingly complicated features?
[03:34:48] <timeless> s/at/y
[03:35:05] <jlc> not saying it isn't a feature that wouldn't be nice
[03:35:20] <jlc> however, what if you want it to override because something was hosed
[03:35:29] <timeless> that's fine
[03:35:39] <timeless> pkgadd -d . pkgname
[03:35:51] <timeless> or maybe pkgadd -d . -onlynew
[03:35:56] * timeless doesn't really care
[03:36:05] <timeless> pressing y<enter> 20 times sucks
[03:36:11] <timeless> nearly as much as unchecking 200 checkboxes
[03:37:01] <gisburn>  /usr/bin/yes
[03:37:11] <gisburn> timeless: yes | pkgadd ...
[03:38:46] <timeless> gisburn: and if i want to install <n-1> things out of m+n things where m things are installed?
[03:40:03] <richlowe> pkgadd -a, and an admin file.
[03:40:16] <gisburn> timeless: then you have to fetch the list of packages in the install source dir and install each package by hand and/or use an admin file.
[03:40:25] <Auralis> the key is a respons file or an admin file
[03:40:42] *** detriment has joined #opensolaris
[03:40:47] <timeless> that's rediculous
[03:40:57] <timeless> in writing it, i'd have to know the answers already
[03:41:00] <timeless> and i don't
[03:41:08] <timeless> the only thing that does is the system

[03:48:10] * timeless wonders if there are nfs browsers available
[03:49:44] <gisburn> timeless: WebNFS
[03:49:53] <gisburn> timeless: HotJava did support that.
[03:50:06] <timeless> is that part of solaris? :)
[03:51:18] <delewis> pre-Solaris 8
[03:51:27] <delewis> HotJava was the primary browser in Solaris 7
[03:51:59] <Auralis> and despite written in java it was actually faster then the IE for solaris and worked better
[03:52:18] <delewis> and Netscape sucked at the time (and arguably did suck even when 4.x was released)
[03:52:20] <rodrickbrown_> worked better?
[03:52:23] * timeless prefered ice browser
[03:52:31] <rodrickbrown_> did you forget the pile of crap hotjava was?
[03:52:36] <timeless> anyone here happen to have a free version of icebrowser?
[03:52:41] <rodrickbrown_> it had support for nothing and rendered anything but text useless
[03:52:49] <Auralis> no, have you ever tried to use the steaming pos Ie for solaris was?
[03:54:12] * Stric has
[03:54:32] <ShadowHntr> lol
[03:54:33] <ShadowHntr> i'm lucky.
[03:54:34] <ShadowHntr> :)
[03:55:03] <Stric> Funny thing about it: when navigating through the menus, I got a serial buffer overflow for the mouse in the kernel.
[03:55:15] <Stric> only then.
[03:55:52] * timeless found it bearable
[03:56:24] <Auralis> i especialy liked the feature neat that made you to refresh each and every single webpage because the browser failed the first time to load it
[03:56:47] <Stric> That feature is much missed too
[03:57:09] <syphilis> someone actually liked hotjava?  how.. special.  ;-)
[03:57:53] <gisburn> syphilis: well, hotjava was NICE for the time when Solaris 2.6 was new.
[03:58:18] <gisburn> syphilis: for example the loading gauge which showed seperate lines for document, images etc.
[03:58:18] <delewis> right, looking at it back in retrospect is not really fair.
[03:58:19] <syphilis> hm, i used it on S7 and it was anything but nice
[03:58:39] <syphilis> i distinctly remember hating it with a firey passion
[03:58:51] <delewis> syphilis, you liked Netscape more?
[03:59:00] <gisburn> syphilis: sun screwed it up badly. it would have been a great browser if properly treated.
[03:59:22] <syphilis> i quite liked NS4 actually
[03:59:27] <syphilis> although i know no-one else did :)
[03:59:38] * delewis remembers the lack of threads in Netscape
[03:59:47] <gisburn> syphilis: but sun did not implement java well (remember the SMC horror which sucked up 600MB+ on single-user workstations) and that ruined HotJava, too.
[04:00:01] <gisburn> delewis: mozilla is not better.
[04:00:10] <delewis> gisburn, it is better than Netscape.
[04:00:22] <delewis> I can't recall how many times Netscape has just completely died during the middle of rendering a page.
[04:00:27] <gisburn> delewis: they use threads to do some stuff async but it is still the old single-threading model.
[04:00:56] <delewis> gisburn, I've never experienced the problems I had with Netscape on Mozilla
[04:01:29] <gisburn> delewis: no, that is not my point. I mean that Mozilla is still single-threaded for UI and rendering - and that sucks.
[04:01:58] <steleman> hi gisburn :-)
[04:02:06] <gisburn> delewis: compare this to Opera on SPARC... on a 8 way machine Opera kicks Mozilla in almost every benchmark...
[04:02:24] <gisburn> and plugins have their own process, too.
[04:02:27] <gisburn> steleman: Hi!
[04:02:48] * delewis still can't get the acroread plugin working properly with Opera
[04:05:26] * steleman hates the acroread plugin independent of browsers

[05:15:06] <laca> try running fc-cache --force as root
[05:15:11] <jlc> is there anything that would tell a non-programmer like me what that means
[05:15:14] <jlc> k
[05:15:50] <laca> jlc: these are the names of the functions called by the program you were trying to run
[05:15:55] <laca> start reading from the bottom
[05:15:58] <jlc> building the cbe in the middle of that wouldn't have caused anything right
[05:16:15] <laca> jlc: no, shouldn't matter
[05:16:38] <jlc> i was trying to build something else earlier, doing unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH wouldn't hurt either right
[05:16:44] <jlc> it opened
[05:17:24] <jlc> so out of that error, how did you come up with fc-cache
[05:18:23] <jlc> fc-cache font stuff?
[05:18:38] <laca> the FcPattern* functions at top of the page tell me that it crashed in fontconfig code
[05:19:07] <laca> and that's often caused by cache files getting corrupted
[05:19:30] <jlc> did you say read from the bottom down or the top down?
[05:19:39] <jlc> like the top is were it probably crashed?
[05:19:59] <laca> yes, the top is where it crashed
[05:20:02] * jlc takes the like back, sounds *like* a teenage girl
[05:20:27] <jlc> thank you
[05:20:31] <laca> read it from the bottom to understand what this whole thing is
[05:20:38] <laca> it says _start
[05:20:39] <laca> and main
[05:20:43] <syphilis> where are the hg closed bins?
[05:21:09] <laca> main is the entry point of the program
[05:21:16] <jlc> oh, so the bottom is the start

[05:21:23] <laca> yep

[05:21:35] <jlc> I would expect the other way around
[05:22:02] <jlc> I read to many log files in websphere

[05:22:43] <laca> it's represents a single point of time
[05:22:48] <jlc> yeah, but when I'm looking at a terminal, for 10-12 hours a day it looks the same ;)
[05:23:33] <jlc> just got used to it I guess, now I know to use pstack and that the bottom is the start, the top probably has the error and then to ask laca how to fix such error
[05:24:14] <laca> (:
[05:24:21] <laca> anyway, it's getting late here, ttyt
[05:24:30] <jlc> later, thx again
[05:24:33] <laca> np
[05:24:36] * jlc was hoping for one last question...
[05:24:59] <jlc> extras, is there one large spec.tar to grab (:
[05:25:42] <laca> i don't think so,
[05:25:48] <laca> but you won't need most of those
[05:26:03] <laca> you don't need the SUNW*-manpages.tar.* files
[05:26:08] <laca> you can generate them yourself
[05:26:14] <jlc> hurm
[05:26:15] <laca> not sure why damienc uploaded them
[05:26:22] <jlc> I forgot how to build extras
[05:26:34] <jlc> damn i been away to long, i used to build everything every day
[05:26:38] <jlc> I think things changed
[05:26:45] <laca> eh... which extras are we talking about? (:
[05:26:52] <jlc> the ones with jds
[05:27:03] <jlc> or at least what used to be there
[05:27:05] <laca> spec-files-extra?
[05:27:22] <jlc> yeah
[05:27:32] <jlc> mplayer xchat nvu stuff like that
[05:27:55] <laca> ah, okay. look here: http://pkgbuild.sourceforge.net/spec-files-extra/
[05:28:10] <laca> i thought you were looking for the "extra tarballs"
[05:28:27] <laca> (the ones no longer available on the net)
[05:28:45] <jlc> thank you
[05:28:52] <laca> jlc: basically, you can get the spec files from svn now

[05:41:27] <Tpenta> gisburn: I kinda like the very old bug that had the workaround "don't pound on the keyboard like a rabid monkey"
[05:42:27] <gisburn> Tpenta: URL ?
[05:44:57] <Tpenta> cant find it anymore :(
[05:45:11] <Tpenta> ahhh, here it is; let me see if it is public
[05:46:08] <Tpenta> actually the one I wsa after was: "Don't pound on the mouse like a wild monkey (stress test)."
[05:46:23] <Tpenta> which was 4102680
[05:46:57] <Tpenta> 4256482 credits that bug for the literary style and has a workaround of "Don't bang on the keyboard like a wild monkey"
[05:47:12] <richlowe> and neither is visible.
[05:47:30] <Tpenta> they were cde bugs
[05:47:34] <richlowe> ah.
[05:47:41] <richlowe> saves me checking that I didn't break this again, though.
[05:48:16] <Tpenta> 4256482 Banging on keyboard during cde startup causes dtwm hang
[05:48:17] <Tpenta> 4102680 stress test gets an XError (BadDrawable) under 2.7 CDEVersion1.3_8
[05:48:46] <richlowe> I don't suppose 4256482 contains an explanation of how, or perhaps why, it was found? :)

[05:49:01] *** Trident has quit IRC
[05:49:17] *** Trident has joined #opensolaris
[05:49:26] <Tpenta> During cde startup, repeated and rapid Help and <cntrl>Help key events during CDE login will hang CDE. Have to really wail on the keyboard, tentative occasional keystrokes will not encounter the difficulty.
[05:51:13] <gisburn> Tpenta: lemme guess... an university reported this bug ?
[05:51:47] <richlowe> After brief exprimentation I find that pressing ctrl+help is more likely to break my hand before software.
[05:52:22] *** pdkl has quit IRC
[05:52:27] <gisburn> sounds like the bug which can kill a SunRay server by unplugging and replugging a sunray terminal to the network over and over again... after the 150-180 iternation the server runs out of swap
[05:52:35] <Tpenta> gisburn I actually dont know, but probably shouldnt coment even if I did
[05:54:39] <richlowe> I thought the official method was to xxxxx out pertinent information, but leave confidential stuff expsode? :)
[05:54:44] <richlowe> it's how our real interface operates...

[05:56:34] <Tpenta> no
[05:56:49] <Tpenta> nevada doesnt yet, there is no way that 10 would
[05:58:59] <richlowe> the easiest way to find out about that stuff would probably be to bug Tabriz about actually making use of the zfsboot project we +1'd so quickly.

[07:58:22] <timeless> schools tend to too
[07:58:42] <sol_user> I live in India.. and my univ don`t allow downloads
[07:58:51] <dlg> if i was sun i woudl try to get stuff hosted on a research network
[07:59:08] <sol_user> anyway i am downloading  http://dlc.sun.com/osol/brandz/downloads/brandz-closed-bins-b43.i386.tar.bz2
[07:59:10] <timeless> dlg: you mean the downloads?
[07:59:14] <dlg> yeah
[07:59:17] <sol_user> i just hope it works
[07:59:20] <timeless> sol: you don't want that
[07:59:21] <Error_404> sol_user: that will be very useless to you
[07:59:22] <dlg> cos we pay for commercial traffic
[07:59:26] <sol_user> why ?
[07:59:27] <timeless> just get a standard sxcr
[07:59:48] <Error_404> you can't just *install* brandz
[07:59:49] <timeless> dlg: i downloaded it to a third party and slurped from there
[07:59:52] <dlg> its cheaper for me to dl new solaris at home and bring it in, than to do it here
[08:00:00] <timeless> heh
[08:00:11] <sol_user> Error_404: what shold i download then ?
[08:00:37] <timeless> http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=7&PartDetailId=Sol-Express_b53-DVD-x86-SP-G-B&TransactionId=try
[08:00:47] <timeless> assuming you want intel
[08:00:47] <Error_404> solaris express.
[08:00:51] <Error_404> is the only way you can do it
[08:01:10] <sol_user> Oh.. i can`t afford that
[08:01:13] <sol_user> as well
[08:01:14] <timeless> http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=7&PartDetailId=Sol-Express_b53-x86-SP-G-B&TransactionId=try would be CDs
[08:01:28] <timeless> afford? it's just data
[08:01:43] <sol_user> Oh.. i though i have to buy that
[08:01:47] <Error_404> yes, there's nothing to afford
[08:01:59] <timeless> error: technically if he pays for bandwidth :)
[08:02:00] <sol_user> heh
[08:02:12] <timeless> e.g. downloading over gprs in canada
[08:02:25] <timeless> at 0.02 $ per kilobyte :)
[08:02:42] <Error_404> timeless: you're going to download solaris express on your cellphone?
[08:02:49] <sol_user> I can only download at night
[08:02:50] <timeless> if i want to run up a bill?
[08:02:56] <timeless> why not? :)
[08:03:01] <timeless> but no, i'd never do that, too slow
[08:03:15] <sol_user> so a cd iso every night for 4 iso`s 4 nights
[08:03:26] <timeless> i thought it was 5
[08:03:35] <timeless> not that i paid any attn
[08:03:36] <sol_user> i need to talk to my cousins in the Us tonight
[08:03:43] <sol_user> ok.. 5 nights then
[08:03:53] <timeless> it's 6
[08:03:56] <timeless> but who's counting
[08:03:59] <sol_user> great !
[08:04:45] <timeless> hrm, only 1 is big, the rest are <300m mostly (one's about 400m)
[08:05:04] <sol_user> so u guys are saying solaris express is the only way i can get skype working ?
[08:05:19] <timeless> qemu? :)
[08:05:27] <timeless> buy a nokia 770?
[08:05:32] <timeless> </blatant-add>
[08:05:33] <sol_user> I have used that before..
[08:05:34] <timeless> </blatant-ad>
[08:05:44] <timeless> so much for my spelling
[08:06:39] * timeless doesn't really understand why people use skype :)
[08:06:54] <sol_user> for talking
[08:07:01] <timeless> 'course, my employer pays for my cell phone :)
[08:07:10] <tonu> free phone, good messenger
[08:07:15] <tonu> I use it for latter
[08:07:24] <timeless> irc/google talk are good messengers
[08:07:27] <boyd> To replace the price gouging by telcos with standards gouging by one provider?
[08:07:30] <timeless> as for free phone, see above :)
[08:07:35] <sol_user> http://perfcap.blogspot.com/2006/11/skype-on-solaris.html
[08:08:14] <Error_404> timeless: i don't see the point of skype either
[08:11:54] <sol_user> i tried installing mplayer
[08:12:06] <sol_user> it need some libgl packages
[08:12:48] <sol_user> opengl i guess.. i googled around still could not find  a package for solaris 10 .. anyone uses mplayer ?
[08:13:01] <timeless> solaris10 is covered by #solaris afaik
[08:13:15] <Tpenta> sol_user, there is an mplayer package at blastwave
[08:13:32] <boyd> Tpenta: I'm not 100% but I think your blog on b53 and 54 has /var/tmp instead of /var/run in the chmod command
[08:13:42] <Tpenta> opos lemme check
[08:14:03] <sol_user> i installed each package on myown before i found out about blastwave and pkg-get now i try it says mplayer already installed
[08:14:12] <Tpenta> in one place
[08:14:23] <sol_user> though when i run ./mplayer it asks for libgl
[08:14:32] <boyd> Tpenta: Yeah, only one
[08:14:44] <sol_user> i installed 10 dependencies this one i am not able to find
[08:14:53] <Tpenta> which is bad becaus ethat was a cut/paste frmo an email i sent out
[08:15:02] <boyd> Ouch :)
[08:15:31] * boyd heads home while wget fetches s10u3
[08:15:37] <boyd> Maybe back later all
[08:15:52] <sol_user> timeless: people at #solaris don`t respond at all
[08:16:16] <sol_user> guys at #opensolaris only helped me get my lan card , sound card and stuff working
[08:16:29] *** jamesd_ has quit IRC
[08:16:30] <sol_user> so i prefer hanging out here..
[08:16:59] <Tpenta> fixed
[08:17:40] <sol_user> Tpenta: do u know how to configure a cd-writer ?
[08:17:55] <Tpenta> what do you mean configure? cdrw and cdrecord just work
[08:18:06] *** Trident has quit IRC
[08:18:09] <sol_user> i right click on the iso image and say write to disc it says check ur setup
[08:18:14] *** Trident has joined #opensolaris
[08:18:31] <Tpenta> ahhh, that woudl be a jds issue, I use command line. i have no idea how jds does it
[08:18:48] <sol_user> oh..
[08:19:13] <sol_user> I saw cdrw and cdrecord
[08:19:21] <Tpenta> try using cdrw from the cmd line
[08:19:24] <sol_user> i`ll check the manpage and tey
[08:19:47] <sol_user> like this
[08:19:48] * timeless used the dvd burning tool which claims to support cds
[08:19:59] <sol_user> cdrw belenix0.5.1.iso
[08:20:04] <timeless> there are plenty of examples, and they seem to just work
[08:20:41] <Tpenta> or cdrecord:
[08:20:42] <Tpenta> cdrecord -scanbus
[08:20:42] <Tpenta> cdrecord -dao dev=1,0,1 file.iso   (where 1,0,0 is what you determined from teh scanbus)
[08:20:54] <sol_user> i don`t have cdrecord

[08:21:16] <Tpenta> then try cdrw

[08:23:14] <timeless> nah
[08:23:26] <timeless> that requires you to install man pages
[08:23:35] <sol_user> i have to erase before writing i gues
[08:23:44] <sol_user> cdrw -b all
[08:23:45] <Tpenta> seriousl;y, I think that not installing them is a false economy

[08:24:49] <Tpenta> sol_user, try removing the mplayer package and then pkg-getting it again, or perhaps upgradig it?
[08:24:52] <sol_user> just 2 more doubts mplayer and skype

[09:14:52] *** qbit has left #opensolaris
[09:18:18] <kim0> I'm a newbie coming from the Linux land. I've been reading, but cant get the difference between Nexenta & Belenix ?! (Are they both Gnu/openSolaris) ?
[09:18:32] <jamesd_> kim0, no
[09:19:11] <jamesd_> kim0, belenix is opensolaris did by a sun employee in india,  it has some gnu software but not apt-get for software management
[09:19:59] <kim0> ok cool
[09:20:22] <McBofh> kim0: whereas nexenta is gnu userland with an OpenSolaris kernel
[09:20:33] <McBofh> (broad generalisation, but mostly correct)
[09:20:48] <kim0> when u say belenix has some Gnu, what is the rest ?
[09:21:03] <kim0> Sun software ?
[09:21:14] <McBofh> yeah
[09:21:20] <McBofh> just what you'd get from Solaris Express
[09:21:45] <kim0> so belenix is SXCR+some-gnu
[09:21:54] <McBofh> yes, that sums it up
[09:22:28] <timeless> tpenta?
[09:22:29] <kim0> for nexenta, technically a user doesnt interact with the kernel, right! Does this mean, as a Linux old hand I could just use Nexenta and not feel a difference?
[09:22:34] <timeless> i think i probably did something like:
[09:22:35] <McBofh> kinda
[09:22:36] <timeless> http://blogs.sun.com/nilsn/entry/installing_a_debian_zone_with

[09:22:54] <timeless> no clue if i documented my steps

[09:23:13] *** Tridde has joined #opensolaris
[09:23:24] <McBofh> kim0: are you seeking a path-of-least-resistance investigation?
[09:23:26] *** Trident has quit IRC
[09:23:39] <kim0> I guess, at first somehow
[09:23:42] * McBofh nods
[09:23:54] *** Cyrille has joined #opensolaris
[09:24:01] <McBofh> kim0: so what is your motivation?
[09:24:11] <kim0> But Nexenta wont have Sun commands (svcs & such ?)
[09:24:24] <McBofh> kim0: I don't actually know
[09:24:29] <McBofh> I run SX builds
[09:24:36] <kim0> cool ...
[09:24:44] <kim0> I forget about belenix ..
[09:24:45] <kim0> it
[09:25:00] <kim0> 's either Nexneta (easy), or SXCR (original) for me :)
[09:25:16] <McBofh> so what aspects of OpenSolaris are you interested in?
[09:26:08] <kim0> Well, I'm an RHCE consultant in the middle-east, I spent so many years with Linux. I want to learn about Solaris though because I might be doing work involving both soon
[09:26:26] <McBofh> you probably want to go with SX or Solaris 10 then
[09:26:31] <Auralis> in that case, stick with the original
[09:26:34] <kim0> yes ..
[09:26:35] <McBofh> if you're going to be doing commercial work
[09:26:54] <kim0> Just read somewhere, Solaris 10 update 3 is out, is this SXCR 54
[09:26:58] <kim0> 53 I mean
[09:26:59] <McBofh> no
[09:27:10] <g4lt-U60> in fact, if you're going to do commercial, go with sol10
[09:27:11] <kim0> That's the commercial one
[09:27:12] <McBofh> snv_53 is the current SX build. S10u3 is an update release of Solaris 10
[09:27:27] <jamesd_> solaris 3 update 3 is the official stable version...
[09:27:36] *** vmhobbes has quit IRC
[09:27:37] <timeless> 3? :)
[09:27:37] <jamesd_> er 10 update 3
[09:27:43] <kim0> can I get this one for free too ?
[09:27:46] <jamesd_> yes
[09:27:52] <jamesd_> sun.com
[09:27:56] <kim0> ok, I wanna go with stable
[09:27:58] <Error_404> sun will even send you dvd's for free
[09:27:59] <timeless> unless your time or bandwidth costs money :)
[09:28:14] <timeless> error_404: just in time for 10u4? :)
[09:28:27] <kim0> heh, DVDs for free like ubuntu. Sun must be desperate ;)
[09:28:38] * McBofh ducks out for a bit
[09:28:51] <Auralis> no, the free DVds are 10u2, basicaly storage cleaning of older stuff
[09:28:53] <g4lt-U60> kim0, no, just a large shipping budget
[09:29:02] <kim0> can 10U3 live happily under Xen guest under fedora
[09:29:03] <Error_404> kim0: actually i think it was just because U3 was coming out and they had a box of old u2 dvd sets to get rid of
[09:29:33] * kim0 hopes for a yes answer
[09:30:34] <kim0> I'm sure I read opensolaris is Xen compatible somewhere?!

[09:34:35] * kim0 is thinking about blowing Suse10.2 & putting solaris... emmmm
[09:34:50] <Auralis> make sure your hardware is suported in some way
[09:35:47] <kim0> I visited the HCL, they dont have my laptop model, but there are some Toshiba Satellites there
[09:35:54] <Auralis> ok
[09:36:30] <kim0> having to register to download sux ... this alone would drive many Linux lunatics away!

[09:37:47] *** tonu has joined #opensolaris

[09:47:34] <kim0> that's all fine & dandy ... I just think that's not the way to make  many fans. Not that that's really important to me now. I just registered anyway
[09:47:51] <jamesd_> or buy a  sun ultra 20 its  $795  cheaper than redhat and sun won't ask you to register
[09:48:03] <Error_404> "users" aren't "customers", or "contributors"
[09:48:18] <Error_404> so who cares what the average user thinks, they really contribute nothing to the project
[09:48:39] <kim0> users are future contributers ... "who cares what the average user think" what an attitude?!
[09:48:48] <kim0> And what's with the non full CDs :) funny
[09:49:01] <Auralis> those are ziped isos

[09:49:32] <Error_404> I'm a jerk, and I in no way represent Sun...
[09:49:35] <kim0> zipping brought CD3 to 268MB, weirdo
[09:49:38] <Error_404> just my opinion
[09:49:47] <kim0> np man
[09:50:23] *** rachel has joined #opensolaris
[09:50:51] <Error_404> It's more an issue of "people who complain about free stuff annoy me"
[09:51:32] <Error_404> if you contribute code or pay for something, you earn the right to complain... before then, you don't
[09:52:47] <kim0> well, for fedora I do (I admin fedora's servers and contribute bug reports). Give me a good solaris community & I will, gimme "I dont care about you" and I wont touch any solar system again :)
[09:54:15] <Error_404> and that's why i don't work for sun :D

[09:55:38] <timeless> i might have made some minor modificiations, but that's definitely my starting point
[09:56:36] <ofu> T2000 will have e1000g-Interfaces on sol10u3? what a wonderful idea
[09:57:22] <Tpenta> sorry timeless, my wife was on the machinen and I was downstairs with my daughter
[09:59:10] <Tpenta> jim0: with regard to registration. Think of it this way. If A copany as large as Sun does not honour it's commitments to privacy, the press they would cop would do incredible damage
[09:59:31] <Error_404> plus you can always fill the form with garbage
[09:59:31] *** pikapika has quit IRC
[09:59:55] <Auralis> i can say that sun never send me anything i didn't asked for, not once in like 10 years
[10:00:04] <kim0> 10 years .. w0w
[10:00:20] <Tpenta> I work for Sun and even *I* do not get stuff I have not asked for becuase of those external registrations
[10:00:52] <jamesd_> yes solaris existed before linux was out of the womb
[10:01:05] <Tpenta> the click thru download is there because we have restrictions on export that if we do not have them we could lose our license to export outside of the US, which is something we do not want to have happen
[10:01:12] <Error_404> jamesd_: someone should've had an abortion...
[10:01:46] <jamesd_> Error_404, what choice was there, back then solaris wasn't free and barely ran on x86
[10:01:50] <Tpenta> be nice guys, there is a place and use fror allcomers in the OS world

[10:03:49] <McBofh> kim0: I too have been registered with Sun (one way or another) for > 10 years ... I've never received anything from Sun that I didn't ask for
[10:05:35] <Triskelios> I'm still of the opinion that it gives a bad first impression to new users though
[10:05:42] <McBofh> Triskelios: why?
[10:06:21] <Error_404> there just needs to be a distro that approximates SX as closely as possible i think
[10:06:24] <jamesd_> hmm  6 million users seem to have gotten over it
[10:06:24] <McBofh> Triskelios: is that from the "with linux I don't have to care about commercial considerations like US Export laws or US+EU Privacy regulations" ?
[10:06:35] <Error_404> (minus the sparc graphics drivers, etc)
[10:07:23] <ShadowHntr> Error_404: there's OpenSolaris... :)
[10:08:02] <Error_404> opensolaris isn't a distro
[10:08:38] <Error_404> i think i recall schillix being what i'm describing
[10:08:46] <Error_404> but it hasn't been updated in months
[10:08:57] <ShadowHntr> Nexenta is available for x86
[10:10:06] *** alanc_away has quit IRC
[10:10:28] <Triskelios> McBofh: it's the "I don't know if I should trust this company that seems to want my personal information in exchange for use of their software"
[10:10:33] *** alanc_away has joined #opensolaris
[10:10:42] <Tpenta> Nexenta doesnt stand to lose billions of dollars if they have their export license revoked
[10:11:00] <McBofh> Triskelios: I don't accept that for a moment
[10:11:05] <ShadowHntr> Tpenta: are they exporting technologies into embargoed areas?
[10:11:12] <McBofh> ShadowHntr: not if they can help it
[10:11:13] <Tpenta> Triskelios: like I said think about how a company like sun would get crucified in the press if they tried to abuse personal data
[10:11:22] <ShadowHntr> what are we talking about
[10:11:26] <ShadowHntr> EU privacy protections?
[10:11:39] <McBofh> ShadowHntr: the "you must register to download Solaris" anti-mem
[10:11:39] <McBofh> e
[10:11:42] <ShadowHntr> ahhhh.
[10:11:51] <Tpenta> ShadowHntr: the point is that Sun has to do their own due diligence into ensuring that their stuff does not go where it should not. The US government agrees that what we are doing is appropriate
[10:11:55] <Tpenta> for us
[10:12:04] <ShadowHntr> Tpenta: i agree with the practice, personally.
[10:13:46] <Tpenta> I generally find that folks who ask the question about whether or not they should trust sun with that information don't take the time to actually answer the question
[10:14:04] <McBofh> and yet they're generally quite willing to trust other organisations with the same info
[10:14:10] <ShadowHntr> exactly.
[10:14:24] <Error_404> Tpenta: why is sed in closed bins?
[10:14:45] <ShadowHntr> Tpenta: you know Alan DuBoff?
[10:15:01] <Tpenta> generally we can't answer those kind of questions as many of the contracts forbid us answering them
[10:15:06] <Tpenta> not personally, but we have communicated
[10:15:11] <Error_404> fair enough
[10:15:12] <Triskelios> McBofh: I think this generalisation is false. many people would usually resort to bugmenot for this kind of thing
[10:15:15] <ShadowHntr> he's active on the solarisx86 mailing list
[10:15:16] <ShadowHntr> :)
[10:15:39] <McBofh> Triskelios: that's your opinion, and I respect that. I also disagree with it, totally
[10:18:52] <Tpenta> hopefully the export controls will disappear from the crypto stuff soon and I hope that might be sufficient to do something about the logging in, but I'm not sure whether there may be other restrictions requiring that
[10:19:47] <Triskelios> most people I've talked hate this perceived barrier, and this is in no way specific to Sun, the same situation exists with other "respectable" companies and similar practices (think half of major news sites). it might be better if it were clear that the information was intended to satisfy crypto regulations rather than marketing
[10:20:13] <Doc> right. so blame the US government
[10:20:14] <Triskelios> (although sun accounts are tracked by some marketing company I forget the name of...)
[10:22:07] <Error_404> if the "no redistribution" clause were removed you could just mirror it somewhere where it wouldn't be a problem
[10:22:38] <Error_404> but may not be desirable for other reasons
[10:22:54] <Tpenta> that would be *why* the redistribution clause is in there. We can still be pinged under that act if someone  takes our stuff and then forwards it to an embargoed country
[10:23:03] <Doc> yes, and sun could kiss goodbye to it's export license
[10:23:19] <Tpenta> and then you could kiss goodbye to sun
[10:23:41] <McBofh> Tpenta: but that's what all the "sun is evil because Java isn't gpl'd" zealots want ...
[10:23:46] <McBofh> oh wait .. Java *is* GPLd
[10:23:51] <Error_404> silly US foreign policy
[10:23:57] * McBofh disappears in a puff of out-of-dateness
[10:26:14] * Tpenta leaves to pick upboy from cubs
[10:26:38] <Tpenta> umm to fetch *his* boy from cubs (that line could be so taken out of context)
[10:26:51] <LeftWing> Haha.
[10:26:54] <Cyrille> we should set up a sunisevilwatch.org site to keep track of the latest alleged source of Sun's evilness (is that a word? maybe evilitude, or evility...)
[10:27:06] <Error_404> i'm telling you

[10:59:59] <xushi> lucky you, <-- restricted download

[11:00:21] <Berny> now the companion dvd will take some time... transfer rate down to 400kB/s :-\
[11:01:04] <Berny> doc does u3 support removal of devices from a storage pool?

[11:01:54] <cmihai> Tpenta: some Java stuff, the web start version of sdm doesn't work.

[11:02:05] <Tpenta> ahhh. i dont do a lot of java
[11:02:12] <xushi> it would be so much easier if they provided official torrents.. i spent a week downloading u2 to get different md5 hashes

[11:03:03] <Tpenta> we like keeping our export license
[11:03:27] <Berny> hmm Tpenta since at least b49 zpool lists the remove option?!
[11:03:38] <xushi> i don't mind keeping the click thru licensing.. but in the end instead of downloading 5 compressed large images, stick in 5 torrents ;)
[11:03:44] <Error_404> quite aside from that... i find torrents to be painfully slow
[11:03:48] <Tpenta> hmmm news to me, i thought that was still being worked on

[11:14:16] <Doc> can i migrate a RAID-Z to RAID-Z2 without a reinstall/copy/etc ?

[11:15:33] <McBofh> Doc: if your disks are known to be faulty, why are you keeping them around at all?

[13:06:23] <lasseoe> I ignored the one I got months ago :(
[13:06:44] <bengtf> edwardocallaghan: I just installed b53 on an u10
[13:07:00] <quasi> lasseoe: if it is anything like cluster, you'll get another chance
[13:07:03] <bengtf> used serial port to boot and install
[13:07:05] <edwardocallaghan> I was going to put a USB pci hum on it
[13:07:20] <quasi> lasseoe: or maybe write that guy who does all the beta mailings

[13:07:36] <lasseoe> hmm.. yes could do, good thinking :)
[13:07:41] <edwardocallaghan> Any workarounds?

[13:08:12] <edwardocallaghan> Do I need a 13W3 ?
[13:08:34] <dlg> edwardocallaghan: can you get into the os on it?
[13:08:40] <quasi> lasseoe: one sec - I think I do if it is the same as for the solaris and cluster betas
[13:09:01] <edwardocallaghan> No ! Nothing at boot time
[13:09:08] <lasseoe> quasi: not sure, I think it changes
[13:09:11] <edwardocallaghan> I do't have any null modems here
[13:10:09] <bengtf> edwardocallaghan: I use samsung flatscreens with an adapter which works pretty well with SOG ...
[13:10:42] <edwardocallaghan> Yes but you have a Sun keyboard right?
[13:11:04] <bengtf> yep, sort of
[13:11:48] <edwardocallaghan> ?
[13:11:51] <bengtf> I have a blade100 without a sun usb kbd, use regular pc usb kbd, only thing missing is stop-a
[13:12:08] <dlg> bengtf: i have that problem too
[13:12:15] <dlg> apparently you can use break or something to get the same effect
[13:12:16] <bengtf> need to use the serial port , to break the boot
[13:12:31] <bengtf> configurable I guess
[13:12:44] *** Kmays has quit IRC
[13:12:45] <edwardocallaghan> So what am I doing about this box then?
[13:13:16] <dlg> buy some cables
[13:13:23] <bengtf> so if you can find a usb pci that works for it do that , but install using serial port ;)
[13:13:33] <bengtf> safest way
[13:13:52] <bengtf> null modem cables are cheap
[13:14:08] <edwardocallaghan> I am not trying to bloody install?!
[13:14:11] <dlg> i dunno if ofw on the u10s are smart enough to grok usb
[13:14:50] <LeftWing> I'm roughly 100% certain they aren't.
[13:14:51] <edwardocallaghan> I am trying to turn it on without a Sun keyboard, you should listen to the question
[13:14:56] <bengtf> edwardocallaghan: which version of the system is installed ?
[13:15:08] <edwardocallaghan> sol10
[13:15:13] <bengtf> ah, got in late

[13:16:01] <bengtf> good/
[13:16:26] <edwardocallaghan> Thanks but will it solved the problem ?
[13:17:05] <dlg> does the u10 have a jumper to reset ofw values?
[13:17:20] <edwardocallaghan> Does OpenBoot see it with the keyboard there?
[13:17:27] <bengtf> not sure ..., it will not detect keyb on start, but you need to force it to use graphics
[13:17:34] <edwardocallaghan> dig: Don't know
[13:17:56] <bengtf> openboot of late version might detect usb ...., check with blade100 obp
[13:17:57] <edwardocallaghan> Yes and how mite one do that?
[13:18:22] <lasseoe> I very much doubt U10 OBPs have USB support
[13:18:29] <lasseoe> it hasn't been updated in years
[13:18:51] <bengtf> hmm, can one lock solaris to use keyboard an
[13:18:57] <bengtf> oops
[13:19:35] <tomww> re
[13:19:48] <bengtf> can one setup so that solaris will use usb ....? try by setting in an pci-usb card, and keyboard
[13:21:52] <edwardocallaghan> http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5104869
[13:22:01] <edwardocallaghan> No
[13:22:17] <edwardocallaghan> "not sure ..., it will not detect keyb on start, but you need to force it to use graphics"
[13:22:31] <edwardocallaghan> Yes and how mite one do that?
[13:22:39] <edwardocallaghan> Are you awake ?
[13:23:15] <bengtf> its after lunch here ;)
[13:23:41] <bengtf> trying to find my spare pci-usb card to try it ;)
[13:24:40] <edwardocallaghan> OK
[13:24:43] <bengtf> should be able to do it according to that thread ..
[13:25:27] <edwardocallaghan> For the moment how do I get something out the VGA?
[13:25:41] <edwardocallaghan> I don't even know if the system is really ok
[13:25:48] <edwardocallaghan> I just got it off ebay
[13:26:03] <bengtf> it should blink and say using serial port instead ...
[13:26:10] <dlg> edwardocallaghan: pull the upa card out
[13:26:19] <dlg> it should fall back nicely to the vga card
[13:26:24] <bengtf> yep
[13:26:29] <edwardocallaghan> k
[13:28:06] <edwardocallaghan> What card?
[13:28:25] <dlg> the big long one in the middle of the chassis
[13:28:32] <dlg> it has the 13w3 connector on it
[13:28:35] <dlg> and its not pci
[13:28:35] <edwardocallaghan> There's no pci cards in there at the moment
[13:29:44] <edwardocallaghan> no there is no creator 3D card though
[13:30:00] <dlg> well
[13:30:08] <dlg> if its not going to the vga output, then id say its going to serial
[13:30:08] <lasseoe> I thought you said you had a 13W3 port
[13:30:23] <lasseoe> if it does, then there's a frambuffer of sorts
[13:30:31] <edwardocallaghan> No, I said "Do I need a 13W3"
[13:30:52] <lasseoe> why would you need that if there's no 13w3 port? :)
[13:31:33] <edwardocallaghan> If it's a way to get VGA out with no keyboard
[13:31:49] <lasseoe> that can't be done
[13:32:01] <lasseoe> If there is no keyvoard plugged in, it sends the console to serial port A
[13:32:22] <lasseoe> if there's a keyboard plugged in, it goesto the builtin VGA card unless another card has been installed and configured
[13:32:29] <bengtf> yeah, but it will give a short message on the vga saying using serial
[13:32:29] <edwardocallaghan> So, what's the work around, is there a pin that cn be crossed ?
[13:32:54] <lasseoe> bengtf, not that I recall, just a black screen
[13:32:59] <edwardocallaghan> No I don't get that
[13:33:26] <bengtf> hmm, then it is the blade100 , I installed both yesterday at the same time

[13:56:45] <edwardocallaghan> Gentoo is under the hood

[13:57:44] <donofrioatwork> (does that mean it takes days to portage the updates to be compiled or does gentoo finnaly utilize distgcc to use all gentoo sysytems as compile cluster?)

[14:51:16] <quasi> lasseoe: and seems to work better than the console over ipmi

[14:59:19] <carbon60> Morning all.
[14:59:46] <carbon60> I'm about to do my first Solaris install intended for mild production use after tinkering with it for a few months.
[15:00:06] <carbon60> I'm now wondering what folks normally do in order to have a server setup without thr whole 4G of packages?
[15:01:22] <lasseoe> jumpstart and only install what you need
[15:01:57] <jteo> carbon60: is this due to a lack of disk space, or just a general need for .."lack of cruft"?
[15:02:06] <carbon60> The latter.
[15:02:21] <carbon60> Coming from Debian/Linux, I'm not used to having so much
[15:03:18] <jteo> lasseoe: do jumpstart profiles resolve dependencies now, or you still have to pick a "cluster"?
[15:03:49] <lasseoe> jteo: same old, just before it installs it'll warn you if there are dependency problems
[15:03:54] <lasseoe> a bit late in the process though :)
[15:04:08] <carbon60> you guys normally just do a full install?
[15:04:15] <lasseoe> carbon60: yes
[15:04:18] <jteo> carbon60: from my limited experience: yes.
[15:04:19] <AbeFroman> everything except staroffice
[15:04:23] <jteo> it's much too painful otherwise
[15:04:33] <carbon60> Huh.
[15:05:08] <lasseoe> I deselect staroffice, app sever, mlib and opengl
[15:05:17] <jteo> I remember doing a core install. My feeling of smugness lasted all of about 5 minutes before I realised I needed to manually resolve dependencies to add new stuff.
[15:05:18] <lasseoe> the rest I manually remove if there's a need
[15:05:58] <lasseoe> oh and all that gnome shite gets canned as well
[15:06:25] <edwardocallaghan> It's seems that the Ultra10 has a mini DIN-8
[15:06:35] <edwardocallaghan> Anyone know of a site with a pin out?
[15:06:42] <carbon60> Seems like a lot of work.
[15:06:43] <lasseoe> edward: google
[15:06:44] <jteo> carbon60: Caiman (the new installer architecture) is supposed to fix this messy situation, but it's not here yet.
[15:07:33] <rydis> There are converters (istr a company called Black Box), but a type 5 is a better keyboard than most PC keyboards you'll find anywhere.
[15:10:05] <edwardocallaghan> I am googling ! What do you think I have been doing over the last 2h
[15:10:38] <hile_> whinging and complaining?
[15:12:28] <lasseoe> hile: i think he means besides that :)
[15:12:55] <jteo> my magic 8 ball is reslivering. I'll let you guys know when it's done.
[15:14:30] <edwardocallaghan> Can't believe no one has tried to modify a standard PC keyboard to work?
[15:14:41] <lasseoe> why not? they are crap and a waste of time
[15:15:06] <edwardocallaghan> Because I don't have a sun one here
[15:15:09] <jteo> i've always had the impression the IBM Model Ms were pretty good
[15:15:11] <edwardocallaghan> And they are cheap
[15:15:29] <hile_> then use a serial console :)
[15:15:30] <lasseoe> I find it hard to believe that type 5 keyboards are expensive these days :)
[15:15:39] <edwardocallaghan> Don't use SGI ones :p

[21:59:51] <ShadowHntr> axisys: expedia is a good place to look, then book directly with the airline.
[22:00:12] <elektronkind> I've also used bucketshop.com in the past, which is typically good.
[22:00:39] <axisys> cool!
[22:03:27] <elektronkind> hmm. bucketshop.com doens't seem to be anymore what I remember it being

[22:53:15] <Tpenta> no idea, but I'm interested to see what kernel patch it reports as
[22:54:46] *** carbon60 has joined #opensolaris
[22:55:28] <carbon60> So? I just did an install of 11/06. It boots directly into dtlogin. I have no mouse. Can't ssh, because PermitRoot is off. So? ?
[22:55:45] <carbon60> Isn't it most common to be installing this on headless servers?
[22:55:52] *** dunc__ has joined #opensolaris
[22:56:04] <Auralis> headless servers do have a serial console
[22:57:44] <carbon60> Auralis: Ah, true.
[22:58:08] <carbon60> So, since I have no mouse I can't navigate to the "console login" menu.
[22:58:22] <carbon60> Is there a tty on a serial port, by default?
[22:58:50] <Auralis> on a sparc system, with no keyboard connected yes
[22:59:19] <carbon60> Auralis: but not on a piece of crap white box that sounds like it's going to die a horrible death any moment, eh? :-)
[22:59:55] <Auralis> well, just boot into single user, config root access for ssh and off you go
[23:00:05] <dj2> can you not tab around dtlogin to get to the console prompt
[23:00:10] <carbon60> Ah, duh. That brings up another question: what is the cheapest Sparc box you would eBay for learning purposes?
[23:00:22] <delewis> an Ultra 2
[23:00:23] <carbon60> dj2: Tab seems to put characters in the field.
[23:00:28] <delewis> or a Blade 1000 if you can afford it
[23:00:35] <Auralis> ultra2 is a nice and cheap box able to run sol 10
[23:00:36] <carbon60> delewis: Thanks!
[23:00:37] <delewis> a good Ultra 2 will run about $75-$200
[23:00:43] <delewis> and a decent Blade 1000 will run $300-$600
[23:02:16] <delewis> just make sure you get an Ultra 2 with UltraSPARC-II's.
[23:02:49] <carbon60> dj2: Apparently, Shift-TAB does it. :-)

[23:10:58] <carbon60> Ultra-80s seem cheap.
[23:11:03] <carbon60> Are they not decent systems?
[23:11:10] <stevel> tpenta: hrm, yup - it's tuesday alright
[23:11:20] <dwc-> if there's no requirement for a sparc s10 box ....
[23:11:33] <Tpenta> just bringing it over (and its wednesday morning ;)
[23:11:38] <delewis> carbon60, yes
[23:11:41] <delewis> they're nice systems.
[23:11:44] * stevel wonders why his delivery script didn't fire
[23:11:55] <stevel> oh wait, yeah it did
[23:11:56] <stevel> n/m
[23:11:57] <stevel> :-D
[23:12:20] <richlowe> nice.
[23:12:24] <carbon60> Ultra 80s start at about $200 on eBay.
[23:13:13] <delewis> you'll have to get yourself a Type 5
[23:13:36] <hile_> the problem with 80s is that damn riser
[23:14:19] <_william_> why is it a problem ?
[23:14:40] <Tpenta> stevel yes it did I just checked while I was waiting for you to respond ;)
[23:15:01] <Tpenta> if the riser breaks, you cant use the machine. the memory interleave is across main board AND riser
[23:15:09] <_william_> carbon60, it depend on your configuration, but i have a U80 under solaris 10 and it works really fine
[23:15:16] <carbon60> Cool.
[23:15:39] <Tpenta> I'm using a u80 now too. my work desktop has 3gb and 3 procs in it (still scrounging for that last gig and cpu)
[23:15:48] <_william_> carbon60, i have a quad US-II 4gig of ram, used as database and tomcat server
[23:15:51] <Tpenta> SunOS vesvi 5.11 snv_54 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-80
[23:16:19] <_william_> where are you from Tpenta ?
[23:16:34] <Tpenta> Sydney
[23:16:46] <carbon60> Do the U2, U60 and U80 share CPU modules?
[23:16:51] <_william_> that's far from PAris :) (because i have an extra gig and reiser ;) )
[23:16:58] <Tpenta> no, but the 60 and 80 do
[23:17:08] <_william_> U2 i am not sure... but 60 and 80 yes for sure
[23:17:13] <_william_> but not memory !
[23:17:21] <Tpenta> u2 definitely not
[23:17:56] <_william_> i used to have a u60, then i bought an u80 and kept one of the two cpu of my u60 which i sold as a single cpu box
[23:19:06] <_william_> if you intend to use it as a desktop workstation take care of speed. It does not respond very fast compare to blades or pc :(
[23:19:31] <_william_> i had to buy a blade to use it as main computer at home, the u80 was too slow for gnome things :(
[23:19:32] <delewis> shouldn't be too bad for interactive usage, though.
[23:19:38] <delewis> you've got 4 processors to schedule threads on :-)
[23:19:41] <Tpenta> and for a desktop, go looking for memory before you go looking for cpus
[23:19:42] <_william_> it's a bit slow ...
[23:19:57] <_william_> yes but only one  for desktopin fact, and a slow graphic card most of the time
[23:20:27] * Tpenta has a pair of expert 3ds
[23:20:36] * delewis has a single Elite3D :-(
[23:20:42] <delewis> do Ultra 80s have UPA?
[23:20:47] <delewis> oh, of course they do.
[23:20:48] * _william_ has a pair of expert 3D and a xvr 500
[23:22:08] <_william_> now my u80 only has a pgx64, it's used as a server and is headless, i moved all the graphic cards into the blade, which is now three headed :)

[23:30:08] <bengtf> since the nvidia's are supported under the b53 - x86 would it be possible that they work in a blade100 ?
[23:30:16] <Auralis> no
[23:30:31] <delewis> bengtf, absolutely not.
[23:30:34] <delewis> they lack the necessary Fcode
[23:30:53] <Auralis> and the drivers are written for x86 not sparc

[23:31:23] <bengtf> hmm, they not opensource then ?
[23:31:36] <Auralis> no

[23:32:29] <Auralis> so you have a display outside of x
