[00:07:10] <elektronkind> hmm
[00:07:12] <elektronkind> NOTICE: Kernel Cage is ENABLED
[00:07:17] <elektronkind> that ring a bell with anyone?
[00:07:37] <jmcp> yup
[00:07:41] <gisburn> elektronkind: the kernel became insane and needed to be caged.
[00:07:42] <elektronkind> seems to be DR related
[00:07:47] <jmcp> correct
[00:07:48] <jamesd> oh no you are locked in there is no escape guard your loans before the kimono dragons attack
[00:07:56] <elektronkind> hmm. I wonder why it's active on a netra x1
[00:08:09] <elektronkind> there's no /etc/system entry turning it on
[00:08:10] <gisburn> elektronkind: i-s-a-n-e kernel!

[00:08:52] <gisburn> NetraX1 is UltraSPARC-2i based, right ?
[00:08:54] <elektronkind> gisburn: like in a dark room, naked and crying while covered in green jello insane?
[00:08:59] <elektronkind> 2e
[00:09:00] <Error_404> hey
[00:09:40] <elektronkind> hey, it's our favorite cannuck
[00:09:47] <gisburn> elektronkind: yeahm except it is pink yelloe with strains of your blood and a komodo dragon in an edge eating on the remains of your elft leg
[00:09:54] <gisburn> s/elft/left/
[00:10:03] <elektronkind> somehow I knew komodo dragons would be involved
[00:10:28] <gisburn> elektronkind: they're the next stept of evoluntion - the perfect creature

[00:18:35] <alanc> heh, thunderbird says I've misspelled "Xorg" and suggests a correct spelling of "Borg"
[00:19:11] <springfield> alanc: bill done it
[00:19:34] *** lacaAFK is now known as laca
[00:19:47] <jamesd> perhaps the thunderbird developers are drinking too much thunderbird
[00:19:58] <alanc> maybe I should send that to the sparc driver team - "Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated and port all your drivers"
[00:21:40] <richlowe> iirc, the cage is an attempt to keep kernel memory on a single board, so you don't end up with every board containing non-pageable memory and not DRable.  (not sure how that plays in with it (now?) being relocatable, however)
[00:22:51] <gdamore> richlowe: that is correct. that was the point of the kernel cage
[00:23:01] *** RaD|Tz has joined #opensolaris
[00:23:20] <gisburn> how can I search for a movie's length in youtube ?
[00:23:41] <gdamore> it was also the case that on the E10k you could "move" the cage from one board to another.
[00:23:43] <lloy0076> Is it possible to tell a zone to find an IP address via dhcp?

[01:14:26] <visik7> hi
[01:15:12] <jamesd> hello
[01:16:10] <visik7> I've a license question about zfs:
[01:16:19] <visik7> if I read the doc about how zfs is do
[01:16:28] <visik7> and I don't use the code written in the doc
[01:16:49] <onbot> commit by Govinda Tatti:  6502755 system panic during deleteboard rem_softintr()
[01:17:37] <visik7> can I build a driver that support ZFS and don't use CDDL ?
[01:17:58] <jmcp> visik7: your question is confused
[01:18:11] <visik7> someone are porting zfs to linux
[01:18:24] <visik7> but using fuse 'couse cddl is incompatible with gpl
[01:18:51] <jmcp> nah, GPL is incompatible with everything else
[01:19:03] <alanc> CDDL covers the code, not the ideas
[01:19:10] <visik7> alanc: oh ok
[01:19:38] <alanc> though there may be patents that licenses are granted to when using the CDDL-covered code that wouldn't be otherwise - I don't know
[01:20:33] <alanc> if you really needed to know, you'ld have to ask a lawyer, not a bunch of engineers like us
[01:20:54] <visik7> :)

[01:23:00] <jamesd> http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005756&pageNumber=1  <-- seems like microsoft remote workers are way behind the power and ease of use that  sun workers take for granted thanks to sunrays.
[01:23:40] <lloy0076> It's always safe to assume that the GPL is incompatible with anything except itself. Unless a lawyer tells you otherwise.
[01:23:51] <lloy0076> The question is: am I being sarcastic? :P
[01:24:06] <Error_404> or LGPL
[01:24:20] <Error_404> you can use BSD code in gpl code too, it seems
[01:24:42] <Error_404> but bsd's a more free license, so you can put that code pretty much anywhere
[01:24:44] <lloy0076> Error_404: You can use BSD code in _any_ code.
[01:24:49] *** coffman has joined #opensolaris
[01:25:12] <alanc> GPLv2 allows you to incorporate code that's under a license that is either the GPL itself or a strict subset of GPL
[01:25:15] <lloy0076> Well, almost any. I suppose I cuold make a license that said NO BSD CODE allowed.
[01:25:26] <gdamore> not all BSD is GPL compatible, IIUC
[01:25:26] <alanc> BSD license is a very small subset of GPL
[01:25:27] <jamesd> you can throw bsd code over a wall to a pack of hungry dogs, and all that is required that they leave the name tag attached.
[01:25:42] <gdamore> alanc: no.  depends on the GPL version
[01:25:47] <gdamore> err BSD version
[01:26:02] <gdamore> 4-clause BSD license has advertising requirements that are incompatible with GPL
[01:26:03] <alanc> right - has to be current BSD, without the advertising clause, not the original version
[01:26:19] <lloy0076> Anyway, I've solved my: "I can't get my OpenSolaris to resolve properly when I set a static IP problem and therefore end up using Telstra's crappy DNS servers. I installed Centos Linux and am browsing using Linux which IS behaving itself.
[01:26:27] <lloy0076> It's a totally perverted solution but it works :)

[02:14:31] <lloy0076> dmick: You could try banning it :)
[02:14:35] <richlowe> though that may not be the greatest of ideas.
[02:15:06] <dmick> it just strikes me like the robo-cabbie in Total Recall

[02:15:43] <richlowe> /ignore *!* at ChanServ dot services NOTICES
[02:15:44] <richlowe> that may work.
[02:15:54] <richlowe> (to just ignore the join notice, rather than everything)
[02:16:57] <dmick> *!*?  really?
[02:17:34] <dmick> and is that persistent on the server?

[02:27:43] <stevel> the build 55 drop? or the nightly?
[02:27:56] <benr> nightly with archives.
[02:28:07] <benr> some important code integrated on Thursday and I can't wait to roll it.
[02:28:08] <stevel> it'll happen tomorrow morning
[02:28:12] <richlowe> gate doesn't close until 11PST.
[02:28:19] <benr> kool.
[02:28:28] <richlowe> well, sorry, the clone isn't taken, rather.
[02:28:44] <benr> any idea when B55 will make it to SX:CR?
[02:28:59] <stevel> the delivery is kicked off by a cron job that should run @ 2am, so x86 bits should be ready around and delivered around 6-7am, sparc shortly after
[02:29:16] *** moshe has quit IRC
[02:29:29] <stevel> hrm, it's normally every 2 weeks - SXCR 54 came out last friday, but with the holiday that means b55 isn't going to be out until past the new year
[02:29:42] <benr> bummer.
[02:29:46] <alanc> Sun US staff is off all of next week, so that throws all schedules off around this time of year
[02:29:53] <richlowe> and if the bits you want went in last thursday, it's 56 you'd be looking for.
[02:29:54] <stevel> i'm guessing early in the week of jan. 8th
[02:30:11] <benr> k. thanks.

[03:15:30] <whaq> hm.. does solaris (10,11) have sendmail for the same reason it defaults to /bin/sh?
[03:15:40] <syphilis> are there any contemporary Unix systems which don't provide MAP_ANON or MAP_ANONYMOUS flags for mmap?
[03:16:24] <whaq> hi syphilis, how did you come about your nickname?
[03:18:32] *** jimgris has joined #opensolaris
[03:21:13] <gdamore> syphilis: I don't know about UNIX, but I'd be surprised if _all_ POSIX systems provided it
[03:21:39] <alanc> older Solaris releases didn't - it was added in 8 or 9 if I recall correctly
[03:21:40] <whaq> edp, so if I add zfs properly into a zone with type=zfs, will the snapshot process be triggered from the global zone or not?ll
[03:21:45] *** jimgris has left #opensolaris
[03:22:03] <whaq> oops
[03:22:57] <edp> with type=zfs i think all snapshotting is done from the global zone, only with 'add dataset' do you get to do the snapshotting (and other zfs management) from the non-global zone
[03:23:04] *** Error_404 has quit IRC
[03:27:30] <whaq> edp, ah ok thanks
[03:28:06] <edp> have you gotten the reading of snapshots working properly from within zones how you need?
[03:29:29] <hile_> Did upgrade a system with zones get putback into s10u3?
[03:30:53] <whaq> edp, yeah. both type=zfs and adding dataset worked fine. It was screwy only when I used type=lofs and mounted it on global.

[03:32:04] *** stevel has quit IRC
[03:36:58] <edp> whaq, with type=zfs can you access the filesystem from both the global and non-global zones?
[03:38:34] <edp> nevermind, the docs indicate it can't be
[03:41:42] <richlowe> hile_: I think upgrade yes, liveupgrade no.
[03:41:59] <richlowe> though 10u2 had some zone-upgrade on real upgrade solution, too, didn't it?

[04:08:16] <dmick> um
[04:08:18] <dmick> I'm lost.
[04:08:23] <dmick> do you mean dtlogin doesn't start?
[04:08:41] <timc> it's trying to start
[04:08:46] <timc> never completes
[04:09:13] <timc> this is my third attempt at re-installing snv_b53 hoping that something just went bad on the initial install
[04:09:28] <dmick> well ok, so.it's not hanging, and in fact it may well be the X server that's not starting
[04:09:31] <timc> on one of the previous installs, I had loaded a network driver that actually functioned with nge0
[04:09:36] <timc> dtlogin was running using 50% cpu
[04:09:50] <dmick> dtlogin?  or sh? or both?
[04:09:51] <timc> but the actual GUI interface never showed on screen
[04:09:57] <timc> dtlogin at that point
[04:10:04] <timc> sh is using 50% when I get in via console
[04:10:16] <timc> like, hit enter to put in username and password
[04:10:24] <dmick> wow
[04:10:31] <timc> it takes probably 30 seconds to actually bring up a prompt after entering in the password
[04:10:48] <timc> sorry if my description here sucks
[04:11:07] <dmick> well, okay, one symptom at a time: 1) is this x86?  2) are you running Xorg (default)  3) if the preceding are true, any hints in /var/log/Xorg.log.0?
[04:11:13] <timc> x86

[04:14:04] <timc> yes, running xorg default

[04:14:46] <dmick> 1.08 driver?  ssh?
[04:14:53] <dmick> what's up there?
[04:15:16] <timc> 1.10 driver with snv_53 doesn't work with nvidia gigE ethernet
[04:15:19] <timc> nge0 is fubar
[04:15:23] <timc> nge I should say
[04:15:28] <aliquis> What are the issues with running ZFS on i386? Is it just slow or can the filesystem become corrupt/crash/whatever?
[04:15:53] <timc> ok, so currently dmick
[04:16:00] <timc> "resuming desktop login" runs for about 5 minutes
[04:16:12] <timc> this is when I'm assuming dtlogin is munching cpu, but never really seems to launch properly
[04:16:18] <timc> then I get the "suspending desktop login"
[04:16:25] <timc> I hit enter, and get a login prompt right away
[04:16:30] <timc> put in username, get password prompt right away
[04:16:38] <timc> put in password, and it's hanging, going on probably 2 minutes now
[04:16:47] <timc> when it does eventually let me in, sh will be running at 50% cpu usage or so
[04:17:04] <dmick> so if the system thinks you're networked, but the driver isn't working
[04:17:07] <timc> at least that was the case last time, and it will eventually taper off
[04:17:10] <dmick> bad shit can be happening in name services and stuff

[04:18:09] <timc> I don't know if that's exactly what *my* problem is, but it's in the threads relating to 1.10 driver
[04:18:28] <timc> and actually, the 1.4 driver in s10u3 didn't work for me either, the only one I know has worked consistently is the 1.1 driver from s10u2
[04:19:01] <dmick> running it on a lot of different nforce hardware with nevada, have yet to see a problem.  weird.
[04:19:11] *** gm152 has quit IRC
[04:19:20] <timc> I should check what rev of nforce this is
[04:19:33] <timc> http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=71050&#71050
[04:19:36] <timc> I know i"m not alone :>
[04:19:44] <timc> I've seen a couple of different posts about it
[04:20:15] <dmick> ugh...if it's autoneg it could well be infrastructure-dependent

[04:21:15] <dmick> oh, were you the one that posted                      where does one find the 1.08 driver to fix this issue?                      today?
[04:21:22] *** swa_mobil is now known as swanta_mobil
[04:21:31] <dmick> I saw that email, and had no idea what it referred to
[04:21:34] <timc> wasn't today, but yes
[04:21:43] <dmick> ah.  I saw it today.
[04:21:58] <dmick> web boards are the suck.
[04:22:09] <dmick> but, um, hm.
[04:22:27] <dmick> so there's an eval in the bug
[04:22:38] <dmick> that I can't quite translate to English
[04:22:57] <dmick> but it seems to be implicating autonegotiation, and maybe that if you can avoid autonegotiation, it might work better
[04:23:24] <timc> how might I go about that?
[04:23:33] <dmick> searching
[04:23:46] <timc> nge.conf just has interrupte-priorities
[04:23:49] *** jcsmith has joined #opensolaris
[04:25:40] <dmick> it *looks* like the claim is
[04:25:48] <dmick> if you set both speed and full-duplex properties
[04:25:52] <dmick> then autoneg is turned off
[04:26:31] <hile_> i thought turning off autoneg for gigE is a no-no.
[04:27:12] <dmick> hile_: dunno; any idea why?
[04:27:14] *** jevangelo has left #opensolaris
[04:27:28] <timc> http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6333732
[04:27:32] <timc> that doesn't look to promising
[04:27:51] <timc> how do I set speed and full-duplex properties?
[04:29:11] <dmick> 6333732 is marked fixed, and seems to have resulted in a code change
[04:31:18] <dmick> into snv_32
[04:32:47] <timc> even doing like a route -f takes probably 30 seconds to come back
[04:34:27] <dmick> what's in your /etc/nsswitch.conf?
[04:35:05] <dmick> might try switching to "files" until you work out this network issue
[04:35:36] <jmcp> timc: and svcadm disable name-service-cache too
[04:35:49] *** ShadowHntr has joined #opensolaris
[04:36:46] <timc> which line dmick?  just hosts? or for everything?
[04:36:55] <timc> hosts and ipnodes?
[04:37:00] <dmick> copy yours to a backup
[04:37:02] <jmcp> hosts

[04:37:34] <dmick> it could be hanging on passwd lookups too
[04:38:23] <timc> giving that a shot, rebooting it right now
[04:39:10] <dmick> agh.  shouldn't have requited a reboot
[04:39:12] *** swanta_mobil is now known as swa_mobil
[04:39:23] <dmick> *required
[04:39:51] <timc> *shrug* it's not a big deal
[04:40:06] <timc> I'd rather seeif it comes upf rom a fresh boot anyways
[04:40:14] <timc> wow, maybe some spacing next time
[04:40:35] <dmick> this should only need to be temporary of course until nge works again
[04:40:48] <timc> ya
[04:41:03] <timc> we'll find out in about 2 minutes
[04:41:12] <dmick> so for nge, it seems like it's worth a try to add a couple of props to /kernel/drv/nge.conf
[04:41:26] <dmick> speed=1000 full-duplex="true"
[04:41:30] <timc> if you can find a sample .conf I'd be ahppy to do so
[04:41:31] <timc> k
[04:41:35] <dmick> after interrupt-priorities=6;
[04:41:38] <dmick> or on their own lnie
[04:41:39] <timc> looks like it' sstill hanging
[04:41:40] <dmick> either one
[04:42:03] <timc> I'll add those to nge.conf as soon as I get the console login
[04:42:04] <dmick> sorry
[04:42:05] <dmick> not true
[04:42:12] <dmick> speed=1000 full-duplex=1
[04:42:25] <timc> those require a reboot to take effect?
[04:42:33] <timc> or is there a command to reload the driver?
[04:42:43] <timc> I know our we have qlreconfig for our fc drivers
[04:42:53] <dmick> I would think update_drv nge should do it
[04:42:56] <dmick> if not
[04:43:07] <dmick> ifconfig nge0 down
[04:43:11] <dmick> ifconfig nge0 unplumb

[04:53:38] <timc> ya, I had to unload it
[04:53:42] <timc> unplumb
[04:53:45] <dmick> presumably that's because I have open connections

[04:58:44] <klepplap> a friend of mine just got a rott.  it's about ten weeks old and absolutely huge
[05:00:25] <timc> lol, ours is kind of a runt, he's ~7 months and only 70lbs
[05:00:34] <timc> supposedly they don't really fill out till almost 2 though so *shrug*
[05:00:43] <timc> I doubt we'll see him full grown though, he's a foster
[05:01:43] <klepplap> he's just a little bit smaller than a full grown lab
[05:02:11] <klepplap> i'm not sure i'll have the balls to go visit him in a year or so :P
[05:02:33] <dmick> or if you'll have them when you leave :)
[05:03:07] <klepplap> exactly :P
[05:04:03] <timc> lol, our pitt kicks the shit out of the rott at least once a week
[05:04:10] <timc> she's typical female pitbull bitch

[05:43:23] <timc> assuming nothing decent is showing up in your right click desktop resolution menu
[05:43:30] <dmick> delewis: ^V?  are you serious?
[05:43:40] <gtcaz> timc: It does, but it doesn't change the login screen.
[05:43:43] <dmick> timc: anything with EE that looks relevant?
[05:43:48] <delewis> it's nice to know sometimes what version you're working with.
[05:43:53] <gtcaz> timc: and it breaks things.
[05:44:03] <delewis> just a minor inconsistency, IMO.

[05:46:31] <dmick> did the screen ever even go blank?
[05:46:55] <timc> nope
[05:47:18] <dmick> stupid thought: is this a multi-output card?
[05:47:28] <timc> what's weird is it was fine until I hooked up all my HDD's
[05:47:35] <timc> to reload my zpool
[05:47:41] <dmick> you said that and I refused to believe you
[05:47:43] <timc> but now even if I unhook them it doesn't work
[05:47:58] <timc> umm, ya, I believe it's multi-input, I can try hooking up the dvi
[05:48:03] <gtcaz> timc: Thanks.  Works perfectly now.
[05:48:20] <dmick> no, no, multi-output video card
[05:48:24] <dmick> as in dual-head
[05:48:30] <dmick> if so, the text is duped from mon to mon
[05:48:39] <dmick> but the graphics might not be
[05:48:43] <timc> it's a dual-head gfx card
[05:48:50] <timc> there's only one output hooked up

[07:28:08] <sahafeez> anyone know if ipfw is part of nexenta? i cannot seem to find it in their docs
[07:29:59] <delewis> ipfw?
[07:30:04] <razrX> sahafeez: if you mean the freebsd ipfw packet filter than i can't think of a reason why ipfw should be in nexenta
[07:30:19] <sahafeez> sorry, hum. ipf
[07:30:26] <razrX> ipfilter is the defacto packetfilter in solaris now
[07:30:31] <sahafeez> now knows why google did not hit.
[07:30:38] <razrX> :)
[07:30:43] <delewis> no idea, but if it isn't ipfilter is pretty easy to build and install in Solaris.
[07:30:50] <sahafeez> yes, but nexenta is not 100% opensolairs ;)
[07:30:53] <richlowe> I'd assume ipf would be there.
[07:31:27] <razrX> personally, i'd rather see openbsd's pf become the default packet filter in solaris but that's just my opinion
[07:31:28] <jamesd> i'm booting  nexenta currently and will check
[07:31:56] <sahafeez> thanks james
[07:32:01] <LurkinLurker> pf is supposed to be the easiest to set up and write rules for, but I haven't used anything but iptables so...
[07:32:12] <jamesd> razrX, start porting no one else is going to do it, especially not sun
[07:32:15] <delewis> it would've been silly, IMO, for Sun to ignore ipfilter, given it was already working on Solaris before Sun even took a look at it.
[07:32:24] <delewis> pf would've had to be ported, and so fourth.
[07:32:37] <sahafeez> i wish pf would be ported...
[07:32:42] <razrX> i know, just expressing my opinion that's all
[07:32:47] <Doc> yes. plus we employed the ipfilter author
[07:32:55] <Doc> asking him to port pf would be a bit of a waste :)
[07:33:21] <richlowe> No, no it wouldn't.
[07:33:28] <richlowe> It'd be worthwhile for the hilarity alone. :)
[07:33:34] <richlowe> I'd *love* to watch someone ask him to do that.
[07:33:43] <razrX> lol
[07:33:48] <delewis> "gone postal" at Sun.
[07:34:17] <jamesd> employee goes supernova at Sun
[07:34:30] <delewis> ipfilter also has a much longer track record.
[07:34:41] <delewis> it wasn't until 2002 or so that OpenBSD decided to start development on it.
[07:34:51] <delewis> and ipfilter (at that time) was pretty mature, already.
[07:35:01] <richlowe> 2000 for pf, I believe.
[07:35:05] <jamesd> yes ipf is there in nexenta,  /usr/sbin/ipf is there as is various  lib/ipf directories
[07:35:12] <richlowe> and it (somewhat) preexisted that.
[07:35:12] <delewis> richlowe, no, *much* later.
[07:35:17] <delewis> pf is relatively new.
[07:36:41] <sahafeez> thanks james.
[07:36:57] <delewis> I don't see any mention of the date development started in the Wikipedia article, but I vividly recall when Theo announced that ipf would be removed because of licensing problems and they would start to work on a new firewall -- pf.
[07:37:07] <delewis> and that couldn't have been any earlier than 2002.
[07:37:08] <richlowe> it came with OpenBSD 3, late 2001, my bad.
[07:37:14] <sahafeez> pf is better. it was in .31
[07:37:17] <sahafeez> 3.1
[07:37:25] <richlowe> http://openbsd.org/plus30.html
[07:38:20] <delewis> still, you can't help but admire how many platforms ipfilter has been ported to.
[07:38:29] <delewis> and how many has pf been ported to? :-)
[07:40:39] <sahafeez> netbsd, freebsd
[07:40:50] <sahafeez> *+bsd
[07:41:25] <delewis> sahafeez, that's still relatively few by comparison.
[07:42:31] <sahafeez> yes, and it is only a few years old and has some big kernel hooks...it is better then ipf and i have done large scale deployments of both.
[07:42:46] <sahafeez> that being said ipf is so much better then iptables..
[07:45:02] <sahafeez> damn, it is so cold here tonight.
[07:45:23] <sahafeez> jamesd: how is nexenta
[07:46:15] <razrX> i thought i read somewhere that the ipf release in solaris 10 (currently at version 4.0.3) wasn't able to actually filter IPv6 traffic, just block it .. anyone here who can confirm this?
[07:46:17] <sahafeez> yes! irb 7s are going to be in SD in Feb!!!!
[07:46:43] <jamesd> sahafeez, better than i expected it to be, not sure its ready for production, but for a desktop its pretty sweet

[07:52:43] <aliquis> i need to remove it somehow?
[07:53:01] <aliquis> ludelete solenv1 ?
[07:53:08] <richlowe> you could ludelete it, and re-create it, or you could use lumake to make it identical to solenv2, and then upgrade from there, or...
[07:53:27] *** deedaw has joined #opensolaris
[07:54:13] <aliquis> k, does it matter which method i use? anything is faster or so?
[07:54:22] <razrX> i'm about to do this exercise again myself and i'd ludelete your previous BE
[07:54:25] *** jamesd_ has joined #opensolaris
[07:54:42] <aliquis> k, i'll do that then
[07:54:50] <razrX> luupgradeing snv_53 to snv_54
[07:54:52] <aliquis> I'm kind of following http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/howtoguides/liveupgradehowto.jsp
[07:54:57] <aliquis> mine is from 42 to 54 ;/
[07:56:01] <aliquis> oh and my system starts to crawl real slow of the ludelete..
[07:57:07] <razrX> aliquis: i would also follow the advice to pkgrm the 5 SUNWlu* packages and install the newer ones from the b54 iso before continuing
[07:57:34] <richlowe> there's only 3 (I think)
[07:57:38] <richlowe> but you *need* to do that.
[07:57:45] <razrX> nope, always 5 so far
[07:57:58] <richlowe> anything < 53 certainly, you need to remove your existing bits, and add SUNWlucfg when you install the new ones.
[07:58:01] <aliquis> razrX: I did that for the two in the guide
[07:58:08] <richlowe> SUNWlucfg as well.
[07:58:12] <razrX> SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur, SUNWluu, SUNWluxop and SUNWluzone
[07:58:15] <aliquis> k
[07:58:30] <aliquis> can i abort the lucreate? ;/
[07:58:31] <aliquis> ;D
[07:58:34] <richlowe> http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2006110701/
[07:59:24] <richlowe> razrX: there's 5 packages, but 1 is the zone bits, one is entirely unrelated to liveupgrade, and the other 3 actually matter ;)
[07:59:27] * razrX is watching output of zpool iostat -v 5 while concatting the 5 chunks
[07:59:44] <razrX> richlowe: check :)
[07:59:51] <richlowe> I just did.
[08:00:10] <razrX> i meant: check as in roger as in  ... ;)
[08:01:22] <razrX> so only SUNWlucfg, SUNWlur and SUNWluu ?
[08:01:57] <richlowe> yeah, I believe SUNWluzones is somewhat of a misnomer.
[08:02:07] <whaq> dude, they pay the bills tho ;)hm.. where can I find sendmail's message log?
[08:02:08] <richlowe> iirc, it's the lu-related bits used during zone install, rather than support for liveupgrading them.
[08:02:39] <whaq> oops.. lagged shell is no good
[08:02:51] <razrX> but the sulu bits, are they now part of snv_54 (as in: will i be able to create some containers now which lu can work with) ?
[08:03:14] <whaq> any sendmail naturals? where is the message log located in nevada?
[08:03:17] <richlowe> and SUNWluxop is luxadm ;)
[08:03:38] <richlowe> razrX: part of 53 I think (hence the flag-day and need for SUNWlucfg)
[08:04:16] <razrX> okay, once i've luupgraded to 54 i'll create some zones and see how that goes once i upgrade to the next build after that
[08:04:35] <richlowe> http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2006112101/
[08:04:51] <dwc-> whaq, wherever syslog "mail" goes to
[08:05:18] <razrX> richlowe: thx again
[08:05:43] <whaq> dwc- thanks. apparently it only logs crit msgs to var/adm/messages
[08:05:59] <dwc-> yea, I've found the default syslog config to be somewhat ... lacking
[08:07:55] <whaq> what do i have to add to get a more.. verbose (but not debug level) messages to a separate file?
[08:07:58] <aliquis> ctrl-c didn't aborted lucreate so in the end i just killed it all and then i tried to run ludelete again but some dirs where mounted so i unmounted them and now i get some errors which are in swedish but anyway:
[08:07:59] <aliquis> # ludelete solenv1
[08:07:59] 
[08:07:59] 
[08:08:06] <razrX> previous BE deleted, GRUB slice relocated to active BE
[08:08:27] <aliquis> "is not a valid mounting point for an active bootable environment (couldn't find dir /etc)"
[08:08:31] <aliquis> and suck

[08:26:15] *** Dar_HOME is now known as Dar
[08:27:20] <aliquis> yeah i know, but what to do about active? Edit /etc/lutab "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND" and change solenv1:NC:0 to only :C since that is what solenv2 has whatever NV means i have no idea ;)
[08:27:33] <delewis> never edit /etc/lutab.
[08:27:40] <delewis> you'll make LU completely unusable
[08:27:47] <delewis> hence the "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND"
[08:28:07] <aliquis> delewis: So what to do then?
[08:28:10] <aliquis>      completion_flag Indicates whether the BE is complete (C)  or
[08:28:10] <aliquis>                      incomplete  (NC).  A complete BE is one that
[08:28:10] <aliquis>                      is not  involved  in  any  copy  or  upgrade
[08:28:10] <aliquis>                      operation. A BE can be activated or compared
[08:28:10] <aliquis>                      only when it is complete.
[08:28:19] <delewis> aliquis, your LU is completely fucked now.
[08:28:24] <delewis> because you edited /etc/lutab.
[08:28:31] <aliquis> I haven't edited it yet
[08:28:58] <aliquis> and why would it be completely fucked because of that before I've done anything else, and why would it matter at all if I will run lucreate later anyway?=
[08:29:14] <aliquis> how can I just cancel the old lucreate totally so lustatus doesn't say ACTIVE longer?
[08:29:33] <aliquis> also who cares if it becomes fucked when it already is fucked ;D
[08:29:51] <aliquis> I wanna go sleep instead
[08:30:28] *** LordKing has joined #opensolaris
[08:30:29] <delewis> don't ask me to explain it, I just pay attention to the warnings in the file and in the lutab(4) man page.
[08:30:32] <delewis> and from what I've seen.
[08:30:45] <delewis> if you edit lutab, you'll have to result to magic and hacks to repair it that certainly aren't documented.
[08:31:03] <richlowe> You do.
[08:31:12] <richlowe> and it's not necessarily fun to chase them down, either.
[08:31:13] <aliquis> well just say what alternative I should do to make it possible to run lucreate on solenv1 again then
[08:31:25] <delewis> richlowe, I just re-installed :-)
[08:32:16] <aliquis> So, the idea is to? ..
[08:33:29] <delewis> aliquis, the idea is that you did something you weren't suppose to do
[08:33:31] *** anthony79 has joined #opensolaris
[08:33:32] <delewis> and now LU is screwed up.
[08:33:39] *** Griff has joined #opensolaris
[08:33:49] <delewis> you might be able to get away with removing all the LU packages
[08:33:54] <delewis> and anything it leaves behind like /etc/lutab
[08:33:57] <delewis> and re-installing them.
[08:34:38] <aliquis> why doesn't the documentation cover all the package names if it's so important to update all of them in the first place.
[08:34:53] <delewis> aliquis, generally, you don't need to know the package names.
[08:35:10] <delewis> all you do is run the LU upgrade script that comes with each Solaris release before you upgrade
[08:35:13] <delewis> and it just of works.
[08:35:20] <delewis> Sun doesn't expect users to do silly things.
[08:35:30] <delewis> and certainly not whine about them afterwards.
[08:36:01] <aliquis> anyway pkgrm on the lu-packages, removal of /etc/lutab and then add the lu-packages is what you suggest?
[08:36:15] <delewis> yes
[08:36:32] <delewis> you might want to truss a few of the LU binaries and see if they're working with any other files that might be left behind, too.
[08:37:03] <delewis> truss lucreate <args> 2>&1 | grep open
[08:37:16] <aliquis> I don't know what all that means anyway and it's not even a big issue if it fucks up totally since i never boot solaris anyway since it's so fucking slow as desktop anyway
[08:37:31] *** Vanuatoo has quit IRC
[08:37:48] <delewis> aliquis, that's your opinion, of course.
[08:38:36] <delewis> I'm curious as to how you quantify "desktop performance," anyway.
[08:38:45] <delewis> how fast the mouse cursor moves? :-)
[08:38:52] *** visik7 has quit IRC
[08:38:55] <delewis> "wheee... interrupts!"
[08:38:58] <aliquis> delewis: lucreate are working now, we'll see if it works later but hopefully it will, thanks.
[08:39:07] <aliquis> yes
[08:39:18] <delewis> aliquis, that's flawed for a number of reasons.
[08:39:29] <aliquis> if ui lags while disk is under usage i count that as bad desktop performance
[08:39:40] <aliquis> because it feels so slow when it start to lag a lot
[08:39:40] <delewis> and is largely based upon how quickly the mouse interrupts are handled, which depends on a number of factors.
[08:39:49] <delewis> most of the factors actually benefit you in the long run.
[08:39:56] *** astinus has quit IRC
[08:40:43] <aliquis> delewis: Yeah I've already thought it's a matter of prioritizes and that there is a reason for it, but in any case it feels slow when it lags, i'd rather have the disk io interupted for some time instead
[08:43:20] *** swa_mobil has quit IRC
[08:44:01] <delewis> generally, what happens is the kernel masks interrupts below a certain level whenever it's working in a critical region that involves a certain device which it may receive interrupts from within that time frame.
[08:44:31] <delewis> like I said, generally, these things help ensure that things stay consistent.
[08:44:38] <aliquis> k
[08:45:28] <aliquis> But in linux and such oses they have changed the behavior to favour various "interactive" tasks haven't they? Atleast you don't notice such slow ui performance while the disk is under use
[08:45:28] <delewis> if you receive an interrupt while the kernel is say, manipulating doubly linked-list, things can go horribly wrong, if that interrupt is handled immediately.
[08:45:36] <aliquis> k
[08:45:48] <aliquis> so it's just some disk operations and not all?
[08:45:56] *** swa_mobil has joined #opensolaris
[08:46:12] <delewis> aliquis, Solaris has an interactive-class scheduler, as well.
[08:46:22] <delewis> which ever window has focus, has greater priority.
[08:46:55] <aliquis> k, if you have any suggestions on how to make it snappier on desktop feel free to mail them to dospam at gmail dot com (seriously that is the address) ;)
[08:48:08] <delewis> I think its more of a case of Linux taking short-cuts over kernel integrity :-)

[08:52:24] <richlowe> every child of X ends up in IA, unless it or you explicitly change that.
[08:52:47] <delewis> you definitely don't want to make everything IA.

[08:54:38] <delewis> aliquis, I doubt the priority of X is the problem.
[08:54:45] <aliquis> cmihai: But it's not so "slow" in other oses
[08:54:52] <delewis> as I said, it's probably because of mouse interrupts not being handled quickly.
[08:54:57] <cmihai> aliquis: not that I've noticed.
[08:55:04] <cmihai> After using it on like 14 platforms
[08:55:09] <aliquis> delewis: And there are no way to fix that?
[08:55:40] <aliquis> cmihai: Well during high disk io it feels like formatting a floppy in win95

[08:58:07] <andersmo> aliquis: do you use the "nv" driver or the "nvidia" driver? "grep nv /etc/X11/xorg.conf" ?
[08:58:20] <aliquis> nvidia one
[08:58:57] <razrX> i'm running snv_53 on a dell optiplex gx620 (2.8ghz pentium D with, unfortunately, an ati x600 gfx card) but only 1 sata disk. during lucreate the ui (gnome) becomes quite slow here as well
[08:59:00] <aliquis> anyway I'll go sleep for 2-3 hours or so, bye and thanks.
[08:59:05] <delewis> I'm not sure how using a driver that supports 3D acceleration would help him.
[08:59:41] <delewis> and yes, it does sound like an interrupt problem, given he claims that the system comes to a halt when doing disk IO of some sort.
[09:00:08] <aliquis> It's quite ok now but that might be because all I test with is moving a window ;)
[09:00:08] <cmihai> That only happens when burning DVD's on an IDE dvd-rw here
[09:00:15] <delewis> that would infer that interrupts below disk interrupts are masked *cough* mouse *cough*
[09:00:21] <delewis> this is probably the result of a shitty driver.
[09:00:34] <aliquis> yeah but maybe you don't have via bottom of the line always sux0r chipset? ;)
[09:00:41] <delewis> as it's probably generating an inefficient amount of interrupts.
[09:00:46] <cmihai> Well, he could remove the mouse and try again :)

[09:01:30] *** dunc has quit IRC
[09:01:50] <aliquis> delewis: Ok, so you think it might be becaue the driver for via k8t800 is bad, or well, which in the end means k8t800 is bad since for instance usb usage is really slow in any os ;)
[09:02:03] <delewis> I'd say the driver is bad, because the chipset sucks.
[09:02:12] <aliquis> (plug in usb 1.x digital camera and it gets slow aswell)
[09:02:15] <delewis> or the driver is half-bad, but the chipset still sucks
[09:02:18] <delewis> (more likely)
[09:02:40] <aliquis> So what chipsets work better with solaris?
[09:02:48] <aliquis> nvidias or intel?
[09:02:59] <delewis> I've had decent experience with Intel chipsets.
[09:03:12] <delewis> Tyan might be fairly decent, as well.
[09:03:19] <aliquis> All suns opteron systems uses something of their own or nvidia or what?
[09:03:29] <delewis> Tyan, if I'm not mistaken.
[09:03:32] <aliquis> but tyan is only a motherboard manufacturer not chipset manufacturer?
[09:03:57] <delewis> they're probably using an AMD chipset.
[09:03:59] <gustav3d> tyan is a minor MB brand. they hardly do their own chipsets
[09:04:08] * delewis isn't a peecee guy, obviously.
[09:04:21] <aliquis> http://www.digicor.com.au/content.asp?Link=23&News=1
[09:04:26] <aliquis> seems to be nvidia for instance
[09:04:41] <cmihai> Tyans mostly use NVIDIA...
[09:04:45] <delewis> I'd stay away from Adaptec controllers, as well.
[09:04:56] <cmihai> And they're kickass boards
[09:05:07] <delewis> the Ultra320 controllers might not be bad
[09:05:12] <delewis> but the Ultra160 and anything below sucks.
[09:05:13] <aliquis> But tyan motherboards are often quite expensive, but if it's the chipset which is the problem there exist plenty of nforce4 motherboards so..
[09:05:21] <delewis> or at least the Solaris drivers do
[09:05:34] <delewis> and everyone else is resulting to hacks and un-safe practices.

[10:25:42] <Gr|ffous> how long have you been a gnome hacker?
[10:26:09] <richlowe> mornin' Gman.
[10:26:30] <Gman> Gr|ffous, 6+ years
[10:26:38] <Gman> richlowe, hey
[10:28:08] <Gr|ffous> Gman, I know you are hardly tech support, but since this is a +solaris gnome issue, I'll be a little cheeky and ask; I seem to have had some gnome process die (nautilus?) I have no desktop icons, can't right click etc, but my gnome menu and panel are fine. Ideas?
[10:29:01] <Doc> patch
[10:29:02] <Gr|ffous> I'm using SX-CR53
[10:29:07] <Doc> where there goes that idea
[10:29:41] <Gr|ffous> hmm?
[10:29:45] <Gman> Gr|ffous, hrm, open up a terminal and start nautilus?
[10:29:48] <richlowe> did that happen to have happened the first time you logged in after upgrading to 53, and pretty much instantly on login?
[10:30:20] <Gr|ffous> Gman, that works ok, I get a new window, but my 'desktop' is still dead.
[10:30:31] <richlowe> Oh, and is svc:/system/hal enabled?
[10:30:42] <Gman> Gr|ffous, hrm, sounds like a potential gconf issue
[10:30:53] <Gr|ffous> It may have been my first login, but it wasn't straight away. Actually it happened when I tried to change my background
[10:31:06] <richlowe> Gman: don't you need nautilus --no-default-window to get the desktop bit back?
[10:31:11] <Gr|ffous> richlowe, yup, hal is online and alive
[10:31:31] <richlowe> then I've run out of the snv_53 JDS problems I remember. :)
[10:31:56] <Gr|ffous> I was caught out with the fc-cache service
[10:31:57] <Gman> try - gconftool --type=bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop true
[10:32:09] <Gr|ffous> btw, is the man page for that app stuffed for anyone else?
[10:32:28] <Gman> Gr|ffous, stuffed for me
[10:33:54] <Gr|ffous> I'm trying to work out what it is still *g*. I disabled it because it would use all my system resources when installing a zone. No ill effect back on sv45, but with it disabled in 53 (after I LUed), GDM would just crash out on boot, resulting in a restarting X loop - fun!
[10:34:35] <Gr|ffous> so I probably crashed out of gdm/X 100+ times before I managed my first JDS login in SX-53 - which probably wasn't a good start!
[10:34:36] <Gman> think there were a few issues with live upgrade
[10:34:43] <Gman> seemingly it's not a path our qa guys test
[10:35:04] <richlowe> gconftool-2, not gconftool.
[10:35:09] <Gr|ffous> Gman, no change after that command
[10:35:35] <Gr|ffous> it sounds like I need to reboot to fix this IRQ issue anyway

[10:59:07] <lasseoe> quasi: ok, let me find out
[10:59:08] <cmihai> Ouch
[10:59:08] <richlowe> and yes, that is annoying.
[10:59:37] <richlowe> especially at the rate the media seems to be growing.
[11:00:17] <richlowe> (Nevada's two CDs larger than 10 now, right?)
[11:00:36] <cmihai> 2.7GB
[11:00:54] <Gr|ffous> Right, well I'll be back. I need to reboot apparently
[11:01:02] <cmihai> Compared to 3GB for Sol 10
[11:01:03] <cmihai> Hm.. odd
[11:01:14] <cmihai> 3.0G Dec 12 17:23 Solaris-10-u3.iso
[11:01:23] <cmihai> 2.7G Dec 19 10:26 sol-nv-b54-x86-dvd.iso
[11:01:29] *** Gr|ffous has quit IRC
[11:01:40] <lasseoe> quasi: mod_ssl/2.8.25
[11:01:46] <razrX> snv_54 iso is roughly 100megs larger than snv_53 on x64/x86
[11:02:02] <richlowe> I think all of that extra is soffice8 v. soffice7
[11:02:12] <richlowe> (between 53 and 54)
[11:02:28] <razrX> richlowe:  /opt/staroffice8 caught me as new in 54 ?
[11:02:39] <cmihai> About time I say
[11:03:26] <quasi> lasseoe: then it really shouldn't - I haven't bumped into that in the time I've worked with mod_ssl
[11:04:43] <razrX> hmm, bringing /opt under zfs control is something i might steer clear from in the future ... system/filesystem/local doesn't like that since a new /opt is created and then the zfs /opt mount won't mount automagically
[11:05:28] *** Posixzombie has quit IRC
[11:05:37] <hali> how far away is native ZFS root support, with the ZFS checkbox in the insaller and all that?
[11:05:48] <razrX> i have to mv stuff from freshly created /opt (SUNWits , staroffice8 to my zfs /opt , rmdir /opt , zfs mount mypool/opt and then svcadm clear system/filesystem/local and all is well again

[11:54:36] <Gr|ffous> hmm, ok so I have an extra panel, now how do I make the application go there?

[12:53:19] <cmihai> Eh
[12:53:25] <cmihai> Is that even possible?
[12:53:34] <cmihai> I know E16 works but..
[12:53:38] <razrX> sure it is
[12:53:52] <razrX> i've run dr17 twice on a sxcr release already
[12:53:53] <cmihai> So it does build on Solaris...
[12:54:06] <cmihai> E17 development has always been so.. linux-centric.
[12:54:10] <cmihai> Doesn't work on OpenBSD anyway.
[12:54:17] <razrX> yeah, but you do need some blastwave packages to lower the pain threshold
[12:54:41] <razrX> like recent versions of gnu automake/conf iirc
[12:54:48] <razrX> *more recent
[12:55:13] <razrX> like i said, it's been a while for me
[12:55:25] <razrX> but i've done it in the past so i hope to do it again :p

[12:58:34] <razrX> my god, snv_27
[12:58:52] <razrX> the magic 27a with 1st zfs release iirc
[12:59:05] <cmihai> Heh
[13:00:17] <cmihai> "most simple actions like closing an xterm or alt-tabbing to the next app would cause e17 to segfault almost all the time."

[14:08:12] <aliquis> Gr|ffous: Yes, I do get the DVD for each upgrade, but Sun sends it to me at 6MB/s so it's ok, I even remove it when I'm done all the time and in case I need to use it for getting a package or whatever later I just download it again ;/
[14:09:00] <aliquis> razrX: Took way longer time for me to compare all the source tree of freebsd/openbsd using cvs than getting the whole DVD from sun each time
[14:11:12] <razrX> aliquis: you mean just getting the source by running cvsup -g /path/to/cvsup.file ?
[14:11:48] <aliquis> Yes, as far as I remember any method of it took some time
[14:12:53] <aliquis> Maybe it's just that it feelt much slower when you had no progress bar
[14:14:31] <razrX> perhaps
[14:16:26] <razrX> a fast and local cvsup mirror helped lots too ;)

[15:02:38] <cmihai> Anybody with TwinView in Solaris?
[15:02:42] <cmihai> I have a small issue...
[15:03:03] <cmihai> How do you setup xorg so when you maximize an app, it won't stretch on both desktops?
[15:04:14] *** laca has joined #opensolaris
[15:06:01] <tomww> strech on both desktops?
[15:06:43] <tomww> what kind of screen do you get? 1:1 the same on both, or both screens with separate contents?
[15:10:00] *** Gman has quit IRC
[15:13:47] <edp> cmihai, do you have 'xinerama on' in your X config file?
[15:14:04] <cmihai> edp: no, TwinView
[15:14:19] <cmihai> tomww: stretching the desktop on both
[15:14:26] <cmihai> But when I maximize a window, it does so on both. I hate that
[15:14:41] <edp> i know.. but it's possible to have xinerama=on in the X config but still use twinview
[15:14:54] <cmihai> And NVIDIA had an option to prevent that... but my home system is offline, so I can't check
[15:15:03] <edp> in which case the twinview setting will override the standard xinerama
[15:15:04] <cmihai> edp: and how would that help?
[15:15:23] <edp> Be aware that the NVIDIA driver cannot provide the Xinerama extension if the X server's own Xinerama extension is being used.
[15:15:36] <edp> that's a quote from the nvidia driver readme
[15:16:00] <edp> Xinerama is used so that apps can query screen dimensions, etc.
[15:17:56] <edp> for example, i use twinview and i had the same problem, and flipping to 'xinerama off' in xorg fixed the maximization problem
[15:19:02] <jteo> because xinerama makes it appear as one giant screen to apps

[15:41:14] <jteo> bro's wedding went well I hope.
[15:41:15] <edp> jteo, yes, but doesn't xinerama also provide the functionality for an app (e.g. the windowmanager) to query X for information about the separate monitors to make for maximization on only a single monitor?
[15:41:53] <jteo> edp: i'm no expert. Maybe it requires that apps actually do that (ie. query X for xinerama info about separate monitors)
[15:41:58] <Gman> jteo, yep, all married and on their honeymoon in argentina
[15:43:07] <edp> jteo, i'm no expert either but i know that window managers require you to compile them with xinerama support in order for them to do the maximization properly

[17:47:34] <Ludo_> yes
[17:47:39] <Ludo_> hmm no
[17:47:58] <delewis> kind of hard to have slices without a disk label, if I'm not mistaken.
[17:48:09] <Ludo_> i try to make disk label, but i don't understand what is the difference between my two devices

[17:50:56] <jbk> anyone know off the top of their head, if I just need to make a boot server so I can do a flar install, can I get by with just cd 1?
[17:51:09] <delewis> jbk, yes
[17:51:38] <delewis> that or you can do a custom Jumpstart and use the flar as the installation media.
[17:53:07] <jbk> well i have 4 systems i need to install, with no network, so my idea was to make my laptop (running b51) a boot server, stick our flar image on there, and do that.. and I don't want to have to download all 5 cds
[17:53:34] <delewis> that'd be the quickest way then

[18:18:28] <quasi> (but sure, it took me a little bit of time to get to that knowledge, but that's also got to do with the jumpstart docs not being updated in many years)
[18:18:32] <kim0> :) well, on Linux, you mount the iso, extract the kernel/initrd, cp them to pxe server & boot :)
[18:18:49] <tsoome> thats too complicated
[18:19:03] <dunc> you can see that there's potential for a lot of coolness with jumpstarting though
[18:19:08] <dunc> which makes the extra work cool
[18:19:15] <tsoome> only thing I do is start setup_install_server script;)
[18:19:30] *** LurkingLurker has joined #opensolaris

[18:20:38] <kim0> anyway, I will take the plunge, hope to feel as comfy on solaris, as with my penguin
[18:21:01] <tsoome> keep in mind that solaris is not linux
[18:21:17] <tsoome> and docs are for reading, not just to waste a disk space
[18:21:35] <jamesd> kim0, try ZFS and zones and you will  love how easy it is to forget  raid/lvm and chroot  crap.
[18:21:43] <kim0> I understand the steps/commands are gonna be different. They just dont have to be 10 times longer

[18:22:41] <tsoome> easy?!

[18:23:00] <kim0> use whatever u like
[18:23:26] <jamesd> if they are so damm easy to remember why am i running   man  some command.. just to remember the long ones.. but short ones are always in my memory well at least usually
[18:23:32] * tsoome had to get contents of rpm one day
[18:24:03] <kim0> so you guys actually think solaris is easier to use than Linux ?
[18:24:04] <tsoome> even experienced linux admins were unable to give a correct switches in a some 20 minutes....
[18:24:23] <kim0> why memo when u can man!
[18:24:38] <rydis> rpm2cpio, then just extract? How hard is that?
[18:24:39] <kim0> I am experienced & dont memo most switches
[18:24:42] <jamesd> kim0, if you can find the apps you need in binary or if they are at least easy to port, then solaris is easier.
[18:24:53] <kim0> cool
[18:24:57] <kim0> then there is hope
[18:25:10] <tsoome> well, linux manuals are  not exactly the best example of well written manuals;)

[18:37:00] <jamesd> kim0, most likely  if you downloaded a full build 44  or perferably  build 54, it probably has newer parts in build44+ .... update 3 is back ported patches from solaris express..

[21:14:19] <cmihai> You get a nice console
[21:14:24] <pseudoxh4> Cool.
[21:14:27] <pseudoxh4> Framebuffered and all? :P
[21:14:32] <cmihai> Framewhat?
[21:14:35] <pseudoxh4> Or oldschool? <3
[21:14:41] <cmihai> Are you coming from Gentoo?
[21:14:44] <pseudoxh4> No.
[21:14:53] <cmihai> I had that gentoobie-is-near feeling
[21:14:54] <pseudoxh4> NetBSD. :P
[21:14:57] <pseudoxh4> Nah.
[21:15:06] <cmihai> You get X or text.
[21:15:18] <pseudoxh4> Hm.
[21:15:24] <cmihai> Well, some Motif thing... and Jaba.
[21:15:29] <cmihai> Bah, you'll see.
[21:15:38] <cmihai> But that's really just one way to install.
[21:15:38] <pseudoxh4> I will indeed. ;)
[21:16:00] <cmihai> Once you jumpstart, you'll never go back ;P
[21:16:05] <pseudoxh4> Wasn't there like a choice between JumpStart and Interactive or something?
[21:16:16] <cmihai> Yep
[21:16:24] <pseudoxh4> Hm.
[21:16:47] <pseudoxh4> Say, you wouldn't happen to know anything about who's working on Intel 3945 support, would you? :P
[21:16:56] <cmihai> Google?
[21:17:06] <pseudoxh4> Indeed, I used that.
[21:17:11] <cmihai> Anyway, if you manage to install most of your hardware is supported :P
[21:17:12] *** knightblader is now known as Knight_away
[21:17:15] <pseudoxh4> Got a link to the forum...
[21:17:27] <cmihai> Major worries are the SATA and RAID controllers anyway
[21:17:29] <pseudoxh4> And like, someone posted to e-mail some dudes about a beta/alpha NDIS driver..
[21:17:34] <pseudoxh4> E-mailed them 2 weeks ago, and no response. :(
[21:17:49] <pseudoxh4> Heh, I'm on a laptop.. I don't think that'll be much of a prob. ;)
[21:17:50] <cmihai> Once you install, you can use 3rd party drivers for unsupported hardware.
[21:17:55] <cmihai> Like opensound.com's oss for audio, etc.
[21:18:13] <pseudoxh4> Hm.
[21:18:14] <cmihai> Check opensolaris.org, there's a ton of drivers there in the comunities, etc. Just browse around
[21:18:22] *** sunnyDay has quit IRC
[21:18:35] <pseudoxh4> I did... 200 times. ;)
[21:18:39] <pseudoxh4> No mention of Intel 3945ABG. :P
[21:18:50] <cmihai> Too bad so sad
[21:18:53] <cmihai> Get something supported
[21:18:55] <pseudoxh4> I know. :(
[21:18:58] <pseudoxh4> Heh.
[21:19:13] <pseudoxh4> I have a Ralink here........ but it's an RT73... which is not mentioned either.
[21:19:14] <pseudoxh4> Gah. :(
[21:19:57] <cmihai> I think there's some opensource drivers for that ported from some BSD
[21:19:59] <cmihai> google
[21:20:13] * pseudoxh4 opens links.
[21:21:20] <cmihai> elinks here ;]
[21:21:24] <pseudoxh4> :D
[21:21:57] <pseudoxh4> Hmm... you wouldn't happen to know if there exists a USB-to-PCMCIA interface, would you? :P
[21:22:17] <pseudoxh4> Like, something that plugs into the USB port that you can plug PCMCIA cards into?
[21:23:19] <cmihai> Ugh
[21:23:22] <cmihai> That's erm.. dumb?
[21:23:25] <pseudoxh4> I know.
[21:23:35] <cmihai> A USB wifi card is like 20$
[21:23:40] <pseudoxh4> Still, if there were one for a low price, I could use my PRISM cards. :P
[21:23:51] <cmihai> And then it wouldn't be supported
[21:24:00] <cmihai> Just buy a supported card or look for a driver.
[21:24:03] <pseudoxh4> Hah, yeah... didn't really think of that yet.
[21:24:04] <cmihai> And ndiswrapper crap?
[21:24:10] <cmihai> As in project EVIL?
[21:24:14] <cmihai> Forget about that.
[21:24:25] <pseudoxh4> Eh, I hear ndiswrapper crashes the kernel when using this particular card.
[21:24:26] <pseudoxh4> Hm.
[21:24:43] *** mega has joined #opensolaris
[21:25:03] <cmihai> erm, linuuux
[21:25:16] <pseudoxh4> What about it? :P
[21:25:45] <cmihai> ndiswrapper is such a linuxy windowsy evil thing it's best to just forget about it
[21:25:58] <pseudoxh4> Hm.
[21:26:34] <cmihai> It's probably unstable as hell
[21:26:49] <pseudoxh4> Perhaps, but eh... temporary solutions? :)

[21:27:09] <pseudoxh4> Like right now... I'm suffering the wrath of blackbox...
[21:27:10] <pseudoxh4> :(
[21:27:35] <edp> what's wrong with blackbox?
[21:27:56] <pseudoxh4> It's alright... but the version I have installed is so... inconvenient.
[21:28:01] <cmihai> Blackbox like fluxbox openbox type of box? Sun project blackbox? What blackbox
[21:28:04] <pseudoxh4> I like fluxbox a lot more though.
[21:28:09] <pseudoxh4> The wm.
[21:28:10] <pseudoxh4> :)
[21:28:12] <edp> ah ok.. i use fluxbox
[21:28:17] <cmihai> Ugh
[21:28:18] <cmihai> horrible :P
[21:28:25] <pseudoxh4> I know. :P
[21:28:26] <edp> guess i didn't realize there was much of a difference between the two
[21:28:45] <pseudoxh4> Yeah, I didn't think so either.. that's why I was like "eh, why not?" when pkgsrc'ing a window manager. :P
[21:29:09] <cmihai> BSD is dead :P
[21:29:16] * cmihai hides
[21:29:19] <pseudoxh4> :/
[21:29:56] <cmihai> Didn't you see Jason Dixon's presentation? "BSD is dead" ?
[21:30:04] <pseudoxh4> Nope.
[21:30:10] <pseudoxh4> I guess I'll have to google that too.
[21:30:18] <cmihai> video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7833143728685685343
[21:30:54] <cmihai> BSD is dying ;P. It's really a pun. But it's worth seeing. Especially for the ending...
[21:32:06] <cmihai> Guy's an OpenBSD dude, so it's pretty much OpenBSD centric, but there's some NetBSD stuff too :)
[21:32:50] <elektronkind> heh jason dixon
[21:32:57] <elektronkind> we used to be cube mates
[21:33:22] <elektronkind> nice guy. I hooked him on using a mac

[21:33:49] <elektronkind> at digex.com
[21:33:54] <cmihai> You mean you got locked inside a n-dimension cube with a loonie?
[21:33:57] <cmihai> And tried to escape?
[21:33:58] <elektronkind> hehehe
[21:34:24] <elektronkind> our cubicles were next to each other. I worked on our solaris build, he did the linux build.
[21:34:41] *** pseudo has joined #opensolaris
[21:34:42] <cmihai> Heh
[21:34:45] <elektronkind> we spent many an hour ranting at each other about our respective OSes

[21:35:01] *** pseudo is now known as pseudoXh5
[21:35:26] *** pseudoxh4 has quit IRC
[21:35:31] <cmihai> elektronkind: the build for what?
[21:35:32] *** pseudoXh5 is now known as pseudoXh4
[21:35:49] <elektronkind> but I always told him he was missing out by being a linux weenie... although that was just his job. He was always a bsd fan.
[21:36:20] <cmihai> Yeah, I never took him for a poser :P
[21:36:25] <cmihai> Eg: Linux weenie :)
[21:36:31] <elektronkind> cmihai: digex.com (now owned by Verizon) does managed hosting for many large companies. We had standard builds of the OSes we supported
[21:37:12] <cmihai> Oh, and they do(did) Solaris too?
[21:37:28] <elektronkind> it was my job to make packages, integrate new products, and whatnot into the solaris standard build, and he did the same thing, but with linux.
[21:37:41] <elektronkind> oh, solaris was the first (well, SunOS was)
[21:37:48] <cmihai> Cool
[21:37:59] *** mega has quit IRC
[21:38:11] <elektronkind> by the time I left in 2004, it was solaris (sparc), RHEL3, and HP-UX.
[21:38:20] <elektronkind> supposedly they offer AIX now as well.
[21:38:58] <cmihai> That's rather unique.
[21:39:06] <cmihai> I take it they're using lpartitions/vpartitions
[21:39:43] <cmihai> Not many offer UNIX. It's all just Loonix and some rare occurances of BSD out there...
[21:39:54] <elektronkind> dunno. I suppose they would. I was the one who got them to take advantage (and realize the advantages of) DR when our first customer who wanted the sun fire x800 servers came along.

[22:08:40] <moazamraja> question...
[22:09:02] <moazamraja> if i formated a disk on installation to leave 2GB of physical space unassigned
[22:09:19] <moazamraja> how come I dont see that 2GB of space when I run 'format' and use the 'part' command ?
[22:09:50] <bklang> moazamraja: like you said, it's unassigned.  Where were you expecting to see it?
[22:09:53] <tsoome> depends how exactly you did created this space
[22:10:04] <bklang> aliquis: have you tried a serial console?
[22:10:22] <moazamraja> bklang: well, i need to see it in such a way that i can now assign it
[22:10:25] *** LurkinLurker has joined #opensolaris
[22:10:41] <moazamraja> (i'm not sure how the partition was created actually...asking the question for someone else :/ )
[22:10:55] <bklang> moazamraja: can you paste me (pm) the output?
[22:10:56] <tsoome> if you did left from fdisk.... bad luck
[22:11:00] <bklang> or pastebin
[22:11:05] <moazamraja> bklang: but yeah..you're right...
[22:11:15] <tsoome> if from solaris partition, you should be able to see it
[22:12:35] <moazamraja> pastebin is crashing..
[22:12:40] <moazamraja> funky
[22:14:09] <jmcp> aliquis: istr there was a thread about this in the last week or two, Gavin Maltby responded (ot'
[22:14:12] <jmcp> it's his area

[22:14:59] <moazamraja> yuhp
[22:15:02] <moazamraja> thats what i said :)
[22:15:27] <bklang> looks like 0 - 3558  is unassigned
[22:15:41] <bklang> try assigning that to slice 6
[22:15:46] <bklang> err sorry 7
[22:15:55] *** dlynes_laptop has joined #opensolaris

[22:16:21] <aliquis> bklang: No, and it would take some time to get one more computer to read it with aswell
[22:16:28] <tsoome> 0-3 should be left for pboot in x86
[22:16:30] <jmcp> the hole is 511-1526
[22:17:00] <bklang> oops you're both right, missed that
[22:17:21] <tsoome> 0-2, that is
[22:17:58] <moazamraja> interesting
[22:18:08] <moazamraja> not sure why this guy layed out the fs like that
[22:18:09] <bklang> so yeah, slice 7 could be 511 - 1526

[22:35:51] <gisburn> cmihai: I can't use pastebin because I am at the wrong machine right now.
[22:36:44] <gisburn> who was complaining that ksh93 has no ^V in gmacs/emacs mode ?
[22:37:22] <richlowe> I think I mentioned it as a compatibility thing.
[22:37:37] <gisburn> erm
[22:37:40] <richlowe> emacs behaviour would be ^Q, but shells tend to use ^V
[22:37:51] <gisburn> richlowe: ^V for what ?
[22:37:54] <richlowe> but I maybe thinking of something else entirely. :)
[22:38:19] <richlowe> gisburn: quoted-insert
[22:38:25] <gisburn> richlowe: you mean ^V<esc> results in a <esc> ?
[22:38:28] *** mrdeviant has left #opensolaris
[22:38:56] <richlowe> but since the ksh88 behaviour is to dump the version string, that's what you have going :)
[22:39:11] <gisburn> richlowe: no, that was fixed for ksh93s
[22:39:21] <gisburn> richlowe: starting with ksh93s that works, too.
[22:39:41] * jmcp caffeinates
[22:39:52] <gisburn> richlowe: ksh93s prints version string for <esc>^V
[22:40:21] <richlowe> which is different than the ksh88 behaviour! booooo!
[22:40:22] * richlowe ducks
[22:40:31] * gisburn kicks richlowe
[22:40:51] <gisburn> richlowe: it was added that IME+accessibility helper apps do not run into trouble
[22:41:08] <gisburn> they use ^V for shell quoting mode
[22:41:09] <richlowe> see, you complain sommerfeld's grouchy, but you complain that I'm not, too!
[22:41:38] <gisburn> richlowe: you're as grouchy as satan's little helper

[22:59:04] <cmihai> Bondage, Dominations, Sadisms and Masochism - the UNIX way
[22:59:23] <cmihai> Hmm.. I think there was a submission in there somewhere
[22:59:54] <jmcp> gisburn: look up "masochism" and "masochist" in the dictionary
[23:00:41] <rydis> Bondage & Discipline, Dominance & Submission, Sadism & Masochism. It's a bit overloaded. ;)
[23:00:59] <cmihai> rydis: yeah, that's the one. With more bloat :P
[23:01:16] <cmihai> rydis: BDDSSM? Oh, like BSD? :P
[23:01:48] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Tpenta
[23:09:30] <cmihai> Something on topic for a change... what changed with svn_something that disabled remote X logins?
[23:09:45] <cmihai> svccfg -s svc:/application/x11/x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen = true -> and I did this
[23:12:12] <jmcp> try /usr/sbin/netservices open
[23:13:22] <cmihai> Well, that just restarted the local dtlogins and stuff, but didn't seem to fix my issue.
[23:13:31] <cmihai> Oh, wait.
[23:13:42] <cmihai> Patience :P
[23:14:10] <cmihai> Yeah, that was it jmcp, thanks ;)
[23:14:40] <jmcp> you're welcome
[23:14:51] <jmcp> of course, if it hadn't been that ...
