[00:17:30] <Gr|ffous> I'm trying to do the zfs send/recieve trick through ssh, but I'm getting permission denied. As a user, I'm not surprised that I can't create a zfs filesystem, but sshd is of course locked down to not allow root login. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?
[00:18:18] <silk> does it work if you do it as rot?
[00:18:28] <e^ipi> use the RBAC, luke
[00:20:31] <jamesd> Gr|ffous, create a  file as root.. transfer the file...
[00:20:32] <Gr|ffous> e^ipi, RBAC still looks big and scray
[00:20:32] <e^ipi> it's really not
[00:20:32] <jamesd> you can't even run send as root... because a user could ship it off to another box and read  root data...
[00:20:33] <jamesd> er non-root
[00:20:33] *** Mazon is now known as mazon
[00:20:34] <Gr|ffous> ok, so I'm sending AS root, and trying to recieve as non-root, is that right jamesd?
[00:20:35] <jamesd> Gr|ffous, you create the file   then chmod or chown and send by who ever you like.
[00:20:45] *** jmcp has quit IRC
[00:20:54] <Gr|ffous> I'm trying to send a filesystem, not just one file
[00:20:57] <jamesd> then  zfs   recieve as root
[00:21:00] <jamesd> Gr|ffous, i know...
[00:21:12] <e^ipi> netcat
[00:21:14] <e^ipi> *nod*
[00:21:26] <jamesd> so its either rbac or   the way i explained.. or allow root to login via  a key  much safer...
[00:21:27] <Gr|ffous> I don't understand which file you are referring to
[00:21:51] <jamesd> Gr|ffous,  zfs send  mypool/filesystem  >   huge_mofo_file
[00:22:04] <jamesd> scp  huge_mofo_file   dest:.
[00:22:17] <Gr|ffous> ah yes, that I know how to do.
[00:22:30] <Gr|ffous> I'm trying to do it the 'cool' way ( |ssh)
[00:22:40] <Gr|ffous> so that's option 1/3 then?
[00:23:05] <jamesd> you can do   still do  ssh...     | ssh  someuser@dest  ....
[00:23:16] <dinolinux> is there an ext3 driver for opensolaris somewhere?
[00:23:30] <Gr|ffous> just not straight into it's own fs
[00:23:41] <jamesd> there was a ext2 driver around years ago, not sure it is ported or maintained these days...
[00:23:55] <dinolinux> heh
[00:24:02] <jamesd> Gr|ffous, correct...  you would need  to use rbac or allow root on the target machine.
[00:24:19] <dinolinux> a possible new opensolaris project? :P
[00:24:36] <jamesd> yes if you want to supervise it...
[00:24:43] <jamesd> ask google there might allready by one
[00:25:00] <elektronkind> teh google oracle!
[00:25:11] <e^ipi> google runs on oracle?
[00:25:34] <dinolinux> yeah, i'd like to join opensolaris development, this could probably be a nice place to start
[00:25:52] <jbk> heh.. if they did, the license fees alone would suck up all their profit :)
[00:26:31] <elektronkind> no free fois gras spring rolls or endless sushi in their cafeterias in that case
[00:31:23] *** jmcp has joined #opensolaris
[00:31:39] <jmcp> anybody running iscsi on sparc? I have a quick question
[00:31:48] <dinolinux> i have
[00:31:51] <dinolinux> nno
[00:31:57] <dinolinux> i read that as irssi
[00:32:04] <Gr|ffous> lol
[00:32:48] <dinolinux> yeah, it's late :P
[00:33:35] <jmcp> what I need is the output of "prtconf -cv /devices/scsi_vhci" and "prtconf -cv /devices/iscsi"

[00:59:26] <twincest> where can i read about the sysv/solaris ABI?
[01:02:22] *** swa_mobil has quit IRC
[01:03:30] <delewis> twincest, the SVID documents are a good place to start.
[01:04:00] <richlowe> SVID, the ABI documents, and the processor supplements thereto.
[01:04:03] <delewis> there's the architecture-independent document and the -dependent one (respectively named gapi.pdf and psapi.pdf, I think)
[01:04:07] <richlowe> not necessarily in that order, (and I may have some muddled)
[01:04:29] <delewis> both are available at sparc.org
[01:05:02] <twincest> hmm, the current SVID is published by SCO.. does it actually reflect reality outside openserver?
[01:05:28] <delewis> twincest, the one published under SCO is identical to the one at sparc.org
[01:05:30] <delewis> so I would assume so.
[01:05:38] <twincest> okay.  thanks
[01:05:43] <delewis> unless my memory is failing me. :-)
[01:07:16] <twincest> ah, it apparently documents SCO-specific changes
[01:07:40] <delewis> I'd go with the sparc.org one then, unless the changes are made fairly distinct in the SCO document.
[01:08:19] <delewis> http://www.sparc.com/standards/gabi31.pdf
[01:08:24] <delewis> http://www.sparc.com/standards/psABI3rd.pdf
[01:08:35] <twincest> i would imagine the sparc.org version doesn't have the 386-specific documents
[01:08:54] <delewis> nope, the processor-specific document is for SPARC.
[01:09:27] <twincest> "Approved media for physical distribution of ABI-conforming software are listed below"
[01:09:36] * twincest wonders when physical media became part of the ABI
[01:10:05] *** dclarke has joined #opensolaris
[01:11:19] <Gr|ffous> what do I pass to ps to give me the full path of a running process?
[01:11:58] <delewis> Gr|ffous, pargs is what you probably want.
[01:16:04] <Gr|ffous> ah, great thanks
[01:16:17] <Gr|ffous> is there a pidof style command I can chain this through?
[01:16:32] <twincest> i guess you want pgrep
[01:18:26] <Gr|ffous> yup. ta

[02:10:45] <Stric> hm. just had a sol10 box go down in flames over some memory/cpu/board problem when inside ufs.. then panicing in ufs:alloccgblk, another round of fsck and then coming up..
[02:13:06] <myrkraverk> erm, is it a myth that linux .so files are binary compatible with solaris?
[02:13:21] <Stric> yep
[02:13:28] <Stric> they use the same format though
[02:14:08] <Stric> well.. hm.. I suppose with the same arch you could probably dlopen the other lib.. hm.. go try ;)
[02:14:47] <myrkraverk> Stric: ok, I have this binary only conversion stuff I may want to get to work in solaris
[02:15:33] * Stric uses linux on x86 and solaris on sparc, haven't really tried mixing libs..

[02:21:39] <myrkraverk> is there any voice recognition stuff for solaris?
[02:23:11] <richlowe> Gman: "2-bit and 64-bit"?
[02:24:22] <lloy0076> I want a 2 bit processor.
[02:25:00] *** karrotx has joined #opensolaris
[02:25:03] <lloy0076> Actually, it *might* be feasible.
[02:25:16] <lloy0076> Aren't Turing machines able to be implemented with a binary style processor?
[02:25:29] *** karrotx has quit IRC
[02:26:13] <twincest> myrkraverk: they are both ELF.. lxrun relies on that to emulate the linux abi
[02:27:44] *** flowtech has joined #opensolaris
[02:27:58] <myrkraverk> twincest: yes -- I'll just have to give it a try -- I *think* solaris and linux use the same ABI specs -- it could be a matter of what calls are made inside the lib (but actual testing needs to be done later)
[02:28:39] <twincest> no, the ABIs are different, e.g. there's a different syscall interface on linux
[02:28:45] <twincest> (it generates a fault on solaris, which is how lxrun intercepts it)
[02:29:12] <myrkraverk> twincest: yes, but if the conversion rutines don't call any linux system calls?
[02:29:17] <myrkraverk> twincest: in my lib
[02:29:37] <myrkraverk> twincest: I may be able to just link, in that case
[02:30:04] <myrkraverk> afaik, the subrutine call interface is the same
[02:31:50] <Gman> richlowe, did i typo?
[02:32:15] <myrkraverk> well, I'm going to sleep now; night all

[02:38:34] <axisys> anyone knows how to copy file from 5310's chkpoint? i mounted the chkpoint .. i see the file .. but cp gets permission denied .. i am root on both 5310 and the solaris OS
[02:40:17] <charlieS> look at the root= option to 'share'
[02:40:51] <axisys> charlieS: on the OS or on 5310?
[02:41:02] <charlieS> for the concept..

[09:38:41] <e^ipi> for some reason my laptop refuses to respect ansi colour codes

[09:39:33] <quasi> ah, that colortrace looks incredibly useful for demos

[09:45:47] <LeftWing> dlg: Blue on black is a bit crap, yeah.
[09:45:57] <dlg> you're long sighted?

[09:46:38] *** simford has joined #OpenSolaris

[09:47:19] <dlg> short sighted people have trouble with red on black
[09:47:35] <LeftWing> It also depends on what blue you're talking about.  I'm OK with most blues on black, just not very dark blue.
[09:47:42] <LeftWing> But then that's a contrast issue more than anything

[09:48:46] <LeftWing> Even if it was off by default and you turned it on with an environment variable.

[11:33:48] <Gr|ffous> that's LD_OPTIONS..
[11:34:03] <Gr|ffous> which is what that variable is for right, so that gcc links correctly?
[11:34:11] <tsoome> man gcc?
[11:34:27] *** triplah_ has joined #opensolaris
[11:34:30] <Gr|ffous> due to the size of that, it's not much help to me
[11:37:27] <Gr|ffous> is (version not found) essentially saying that the library of verion X isn't found, but the library is there, or more that it's looking for a particular version of a lib isn't there... in fact the whole file isn't there?
[11:40:44] <CosmicDJ> which program is telling you "version not found"?
[11:40:55] <Gr|ffous> ldd path/to/binary
[11:41:27] <Gr|ffous> libz is my problem lib, and I do have 2 versions of it on the system, but it would seem that it's always taking the wrong one
[11:45:20] <cap_> you're not mixing up 32- and 64-bit libs are you? ...I'm not sure if it can give you that exact error msg but it sure can mess stuff up
[11:45:54] <Gr|ffous> shouldn't be, this is a 32-bit host
[11:49:04] <CosmicDJ> why don't you post the exact error?
[11:49:45] <Gr|ffous> it's just ldd output at this stage, I haven't run the app
[11:49:53] <Gr|ffous> I'll just back on and past that if you like

[11:58:16] <Gr|ffous> lol
[11:58:26] <Gr|ffous> well, my problems are all solved now, jmcp is here
[11:58:37] * jmcp cowers under the weight of expectations
[11:58:58] <CosmicDJ> I also think you don't want to link against stuff in ../lib/i386 directly
[11:59:05] <Gr|ffous> ;), so what DOES (version not found) mean exactly. It can be taken a couple of ways
[11:59:05] <jmcp> correct
[11:59:40] <Gr|ffous> ../lib?
[12:00:10] <jmcp> in this case, your configure script has determined it should link against /usr/lib/libz.so, but you've specified that the app should be linked against /opt/csw/lib/libz.so
[12:00:13] <jmcp> this is megabad
[12:00:13] <CosmicDJ> s/../usr,csw,etc/
[12:00:20] <jmcp> use the system-supplied libz.so
[12:01:35] <Gr|ffous> well this is blastwave sw, so I really need to use the blastwave libs unless absolutely necessary. It would seem that the configure script just needs beating into submission
[12:01:53] <Gr|ffous> I had thought that LD_OPTIONS overrode anything specified by ./configure?
[12:01:54] *** raph_ael has quit IRC
[12:01:56] <jmcp> Gr|ffous: uh ... *always* use the system-supplied libz
[12:02:02] <jmcp> depends

[12:02:56] *** nbkk6fo__ has quit IRC
[12:03:09] *** nbkk6fo__ has joined #opensolaris
[12:03:40] <Gr|ffous> is libz a special case?
[12:04:02] <CosmicDJ> I'd first remove /opt/csw/lib/$ISALIST from your LD_OPTIONS/LD_FLAGS..
[12:04:11] <tsoome> you are doing the linking, you should be able to tell;)
[12:04:19] <jmcp> Gr|ffous: yes
[12:05:16] <Gr|ffous> CosmicDJ, I just took that from http://www.blastwave.org/standards/build.html
[12:05:19] <Gr|ffous> I'll try again without it
[12:06:00] *** lloy0076 has quit IRC
[12:07:04] <Gr|ffous> jmcp, do you have a moment to expand on that a bit so I can better understand libz?
[12:07:45] <jmcp> libz is one of those majorly important system-supplied libraries. If you use the version that Sun supplies in a SUNW* package, then you know that you're getting the most optimized, and the supported version. Any other version ... might not be as highly optimized
[12:07:56] <jmcp> yes, *same* source, just more aggressive compilation options
[12:07:56] *** yippi has quit IRC
[12:08:35] <jmcp> the other thing is that when you link against the SUNW* version, you'll get the benefit of being able to run your util/app/... without seeing those annoying versioning messages
[12:08:42] <jmcp> and from there it gets more handywavey
[12:08:47] <Gr|ffous> so If I'm wanting to link all libraries to /opt/csw/lib versions apart from libz, how can I do that?
[12:09:16] <jmcp> well ... add -R/usr/lib to the start of your LD_OPTIONS
[12:09:37] <jmcp> in fact, I'd recommand something like this:     -R/usr/lib -R/opt/csw/lib -R/opt/csw/kde-gcc/lib
[12:10:00] <jmcp> the linker (ld.so) should automatically pickup the appropriate optimised version of the /opt/csw/lib/* libraries
[12:10:27] <Gr|ffous> won't that prefer the sfw versions of all software?
[12:10:34] <Gr|ffous> libraries that is
[12:10:50] <jmcp> I don't see "sfw" anywhere in that list of -R options
[12:11:08] <Gr|ffous> oh sorry, I mean the SUNW versions
[12:11:56] <Gr|ffous> I don't fully understand the linkers logic - it's smarter then simply taking the first that it finds, like $PATH?
[12:12:13] <jmcp> well yes, if there's a clash between /usr/lib and /opt/csw/lib you'll get the SUNW version. however, I think it's the case that if you explicitly specify -L/opt/csw/lib -l(library) -R.... then the csw verrsion will be the one that's searched for first
[12:12:14] <jmcp> yeah

[12:21:15] <Gr|ffous> I think were I not trying to make blastwave versions, it would be easy enough
[12:21:50] <Gr|ffous> this package (amark) is odd even by blastwave standards as it's kde based, which has it's own libs hiding in /opt/csw/kde-gcc/libs.
[12:21:57] <Gr|ffous> so it's all a bit tough for a first timer!

[12:45:26] <boyd> Gah what on earth are the marketing people at sun being paid for? They have two products called "Sun Java Availability Suite" and "Sun StorageTek Availability Suite
[12:45:36] <boyd> Which are completely different things
[12:46:23] <CosmicDJ> one is for java and the other for storage?
[12:46:48] <boyd> One is SunCluster, the other is storage replication and snapshotting
[12:48:11] <quasi> SunCluster is going to be renamed to something with solaris in the name iirc
[12:48:12] <boyd> What on earth made you thing that one would be for Java just because is has Java in it's name?
[12:48:41] <Gr|ffous> hmm, so on line 38 there, libz.so is working, but on line 51, libz.so.1 isn't
[12:48:42] <Gr|ffous> ?!%
[12:48:46] <boyd> quasi: It seems that "Solaris Cluster" at the moment is the bundle of SunCluster, SunCluster Geo Edition and some agents
[12:49:08] <boyd> Can they not see the screaming need to just choose a freakin' name and STICK WITH IT?
[12:49:36] <dlg> sun cluster and sun cluster geo edition are different
[12:49:59] <quasi> give them some credit for trying to live up to the general conception of marketing drones being complete idiots ;)
[12:50:08] <boyd> Yes, I know, but the only place the name "solaris cluster" is used on the main site is in relation to a bundle of the two.
[12:50:32] <Cyrille> I think our marketing like to keep people on edge, always wondering whether they're using the right name ;-)
[12:51:08] <boyd> In fact, on this page, that's explicitly what they say: http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Systems%20Administration&tab=3&subcat=Clustering

[12:58:58] <bank__> Anyone use Oracle db 10g on opensol ?
[12:59:26] <bank__> How could we fool the kernal? I got "Checking operating system version: must be 5.10.    Actual 5.11" During installation on b55
[13:00:01] <Cyrille> possibly by manually patching the script checking the version number, assuming it's a script.
[13:00:10] <darrenm> bank__: dtrace - google for dtrace and uname and you should find the relevant script, or use an LD_PRELOAD library to fake the return values of the system call
[13:00:30] <bank__> errr ...
[13:00:50] <Cyrille> you're running a ./setup or ./install program to install Oracle, right?
[13:01:12] <bank__> ./runInstaller
[13:01:44] <Cyrille> is that a script? Does it do anything more than just calling something else? For instance, does it call uname to check the version of the OS?

[13:08:27] *** nostoi has joined #opensolaris
[13:08:54] <Gr|ffous> bank, are you connecting with ssh -Y or ssh -X?
[13:09:11] <darrenm> sorry I can't understand your problem.  What are you trying to do (don't say what you have tried and what isn't working but explain what you are wanting to achive)
[13:09:39] <bank__> I use something call "SSH Secure Shell" to connect to non global zone as username "oracle" to run oracle setup
[13:10:09] <delewis> you probably don't have X11 forwarding enabled on the Oracle server per default in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[13:10:48] <darrenm> X11 forwarding *is on* by default on the server but *off* on the client
[13:11:36] <dlg> ssh -Y
[13:11:39] <delewis> that sounds backwards. :-)
[13:11:42] <dlg> or -X
[13:11:47] <darrenm> nope it isn't
[13:11:54] <darrenm> the security risk is to the client not the server

[13:14:06] <delewis> there's your problem.
[13:14:12] <delewis> you don't have an X11 server on Windows.
[13:14:47] <bank__> Do I need a X11 Server?
[13:14:51] <darrenm> you can use VNC
[13:15:00] <bank__> I have VNC viewer
[13:15:33] <darrenm> you need to use SSH port forwarding (not X11 forwarding) and run a VNC server in the Solaris zone.
[13:15:38] <bank__> I have CygwinX and VNC viewer on windows.
[13:16:11] <lplatypus> can you run xclock from the cygwin prompt?
[13:17:43] <lplatypus> if that works, and if you have the openssh cygwin package installed, then you should be able to run "ssh -Y hostname" from the cygwin prompt

[13:27:45] <lplatypus> are you contacting your solaris server over a local network, or could it be a slow network link?
[13:29:02] <lplatypus> if it's a slow network link, you could try ssh -C -Y ... or else get someone to help you use VNC which works better over a slow link

[16:21:56] *** xushi has joined #opensolaris
[16:22:25] * dclarke grunts ... stares at coffee blankly
[16:23:59] <dclarke> I think I hit another thing about CDE that annoys me
[16:24:10] <mrdeviant> the fact that it's CDE ?
[16:24:26] <richlowe> the lack of friendly engineers in here to yell at when it breaks? :)
[16:24:27] <dclarke> well CDE is real nice on a machine with only 512MB of RAM
[16:24:28] <nachox> the fact that it looks old :)
[16:24:33] <richlowe> that's one of JDS's biggest features, after all :)
[16:24:48] <dclarke> JDS is just GNOME
[16:24:51] <dme> "real nice" ?
[16:24:57] <dclarke> stop calling it Java foo
[16:25:44] <dclarke> the Solaris 10 operating system is not the Java Enterprise System
[16:26:01] <dclarke> my machine here is not a Java station
[16:26:04] <richlowe> I don't think anyone here has a direct line to the marketing people responsible for such stupidity.
[16:26:11] <dclarke> my coffee cup is a Java cup however
[16:26:16] <nachox> why? this is java opensolaris and we're in java-earth, i'm java-working right now
[16:26:19] <dclarke> can we beat them
[16:26:20] <dclarke> ?
[16:26:20] <richlowe> and I think 10 is the Solaris Enterprise System now, but I'm not entirely sure :)
[16:26:31] <richlowe> or is that just 10+JES?
[16:26:34] <richlowe> or JES renamed?
[16:26:39] <dclarke> can we please just all get their phone numbers and call them all day and say "you're a idiot" and then hang up ?
[16:26:58] <dclarke> I mean what the f#$k are they thinking with an idiot with a cowboy hat on the homepage ?
[16:27:15] <jteo> the world works in mysterious ways?
[16:27:16] <andersmo> Sun JavaBranding(tm)
[16:27:21] <richlowe> they're a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll?
[16:27:28] <dclarke> someone had a blog there other day with pictures of the new Sun tape library system and it is soooooo coool looking
[16:27:29] <jbk> <insert brokeback joke here>
[16:28:02] <dclarke> they are a little stupid .. I think I'll call up Tom Gogune today and whine at him
[16:28:07] <dclarke> Goguen
[16:28:10] <dclarke> him
[16:28:40] <dclarke> yep .. let me get a notepad .. write down .. "things to do today : bitch at Tom Goguen"
[16:28:53] <dclarke> okay .. I'll do that when he is awake
[16:29:02] <richlowe> sigh, I swear there's already a bug against this.
[16:29:05] <richlowe> and I'll be buggered if I can find it.
[16:29:14] <jteo> what bug?
[16:29:20] <dclarke> truth be told he is a funny guy and he says he will come up here and that I can get blueline hockey ti ckets
[16:29:36] <nachox> that would be almost as funny as ubuntu's 1st ug
[16:29:44] <nachox> *bug
[16:29:54] <dclarke> ubuntu has a bug?  no ...
[16:30:25] <dclarke> there is a real bug filed about the name "Java" on the JDS system ... funny
[16:30:34] <dclarke> who is the guy in charge of the JDS ?
[16:30:41] <dclarke> is it Glynn Foster ?
[16:30:46] <dclarke> gman ?
[16:31:15] <dclarke> I think I'll call him too
[16:31:17] <nachox> easy boy, the sarcasm-meter almost exploded there :P ubuntu does have bugs, and lots of them
[16:31:28] * dclarke sighs
[16:31:35] <dclarke> no ... say it ain't so
[16:31:52] <nachox> i really doubt gman has any saying in those marketing issues
[16:31:53] <noyb> it ain't so
[16:31:54] <dclarke> just a sec .. my mozilla window went away ..
[16:32:03] <noyb> bug?
[16:32:04] <dclarke> for some reason
[16:32:21] <dclarke> hrmmm .. I need a url in this window to open up the browser
[16:32:30] <dclarke> http://www.opensolaris.org/
[16:32:50] <dclarke> there .. that fixed it
[16:34:20] <bank__> I create a fresh zone and install oracle db10g. there are a lot of error msg during linking process
[16:34:21] <dclarke> someone named Glenn Lagasse is in a department named "KISS/Approachability" ... that's funny
[16:34:44] <dclarke> bank__ : you installed how ? via the zone console ?
[16:35:00] <bank__> via cygwinX
[16:35:09] <bank__> installing .
[16:35:14] * dclarke pfffth
[16:35:30] <dclarke> whats wrong with good ol' X ?
[16:35:55] <bank__> Let pick some Error dialog message.

[16:38:35] <asyd> \_o<
[16:40:05] <bank__> :(
[16:40:07] <dclarke> lloy0076 : because the company sells computer hardware and services .. hell .. like maybe selling those would be a good idea
[16:40:40] <lloy0076> dclarke: Have you ever noticed that on racing car magazines you get hot, slender, young babes inevitably with blue eyes and very good matching breasts?
[16:40:49] <lloy0076> dclarke: It's got nothing to do with the racing.
[16:40:56] <lloy0076> dclarke: Marketing is a strange beast.
[16:41:01] <dclarke> lloy0076 :  well let's put a babe on the homepage then
[16:41:22] <jteo> lloy0076: that's plastic surgery for you
[16:41:22] <lloy0076> dclarke: Do you think Sun employs anyone who would qualify?
[16:41:27] <dclarke> lloy0076 :  because the NASCAR people are all sub-70 IQ knuckle dragging red neck inbred morons
[16:41:43] <lloy0076> hehe
[16:42:03] <lloy0076> <-- proposes the Solaris Babe Project...A Project To Feature You on THE FRONT PAGE!
[16:42:52] <lloy0076> I wonder if anyone would fail to miss the humour and actually vote +1 for it and therefore make it a 'real' project...
[16:43:14] <nachox> try it :P
[16:43:32] <lloy0076> I hardly have the qualifications to lead such a project.
[16:43:42] <bank__> I vote for you.
[16:44:08] <dclarke> well I can say that back in 2001 I was at a tradeshow working at a booth and the computer company had a total babe working there too .. she was actually a certified Solaris Systems Admin

[16:44:39] <dclarke> needless to say the geeks that came over to stare at here were knocked over when she started taling NIS at them .. correctly
[16:44:48] <lloy0076> rofl
[16:44:51] <dclarke> nope .. they are real
[16:44:57] <dclarke> seen two of them
[16:45:09] <Odin-LAP> Remarkable.
[16:45:09] <lloy0076> dclarke: She was probably thinking, "You'd be in the STUPID NIS realm..."
[16:45:17] <Odin-LAP> The wonders of the world never cease.
[16:45:54] <lloy0076> There do seem to be few women geeks, good looking or not.
[16:46:01] <dclarke> I told her that I was convinced that  "brains x beauty = constant " but however we can not accomodate for bizarre anomolies
[16:46:12] <dclarke> and she got the joke
[16:46:16] <nachox> hehe, you should really see the pics of the netbeans day in buenos aires :)
[16:46:32] <dclarke> post'em
[16:46:42] <lloy0076> Yes, you fool, don't tell - post'em!!!!
[16:47:05] <nachox> the people at sun took them, i dont have them
[16:47:13] <jteo> pervs.
[16:47:23] <dclarke> anyways .. some company that was there hired her as a sysadmin to handle two E10K's down in the carribean on the spot
[16:47:37] <lloy0076> rofl
[16:47:40] <lloy0076> dclarke: You serious?
[16:47:43] <dclarke> off she went .. six months later she sends back photos
[16:47:48] <dclarke> yeah .. dead serious
[16:47:59] * dclarke holds up right hand
[16:48:02] <dclarke> I swear

[16:48:21] <nachox> jteo: :P
[16:48:33] <dclarke> lloy0076 :  nothing ... I really do look like a geek
[16:48:39] <lloy0076> Very orange.
[16:48:48] <lloy0076> dclarke: Not you...the netbeans chics
[16:50:01] <lloy0076> I've decided I like Netbeans more than Eclipse, but that Eclipse on Solaris looks nicer than Netbeans.
[16:50:12] <dclarke> ummm ... I may have a pic of here somewhere in the companies database actually .. but it would be back in 2001 backup tapes .. to heck with it

[16:57:18] <bank__> ...
[16:57:45] <dclarke> serious .. this channel is reserved for people to bitch about JDS
[16:58:31] <Odin-LAP> What, because lavishing praise on the rest of Solaris is unfashionable?
[16:58:48] <dclarke> its a joke .. you missed the previous 30 minutes
[16:59:22] <richlowe> and apparently the last year and a half, bitching about JDS is a weekly affair seemingly.
[16:59:23] <dclarke> Odin-LAP :  and I love Solaris 10 and everyone knows this anyways ..
[16:59:26] <Odin-LAP> Not really. ;)

[18:12:54] <boxix> right
[18:14:24] <boxix> when charging the cpu at 50% i get my awk consuming the rest -> 0 idle

[18:15:56] *** calumb has quit IRC
[18:17:39] <darrenm> boxix: whats the problem you are trying to solve ?
[18:18:01] <richlowe> Hm.
[18:18:07] <richlowe> bootadm buggered this up something royal.
[18:18:58] <darrenm> boxix: if what you want is running the machine at lower power so that it is cooler and quieter then you want power management not chaning the process priorities, see: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/power/
[18:21:35] <richlowe> alright so, lu only left entries for 2 of 4 BEs, bootadm did most of the right thing and only ammended the active one, but added (bootadm created) entries for (what I assume to be) the current BE (which was already there through lu).
[18:21:40] <richlowe> if this boots, the above description is right, and I'll file a bug.

[19:40:18] <dclarke> when is EOSL

[19:40:31] <alanc> EOSL for Solaris is Last Ship Date + 5 years

[20:52:18] <sigstop> Hi.  Solaris 10 is stalling in this boot, whereas it has worked just fine and processed terabytes before with this setup.  I'm running under VMware emulation.  Processes like 'sync' 'df' 'uptime' and 'dmesg' are stalling, but 'ps -a -ef' is not.  I'm logged in at the text-based console.  I've not seen any error reports from the 'dmesg' process that last ran.  In the background a long-standing zfs send/receive operation was going on.

[21:22:29] * coffman wonders when does they fix liveupdate to work propper with zfs :/
[21:22:30] <dclarke> well .. I am going to unmount that fs and remount with logging enabled
[21:26:01] <tomww> coffman: many are waiting for zfs-boot. this will help with liveupdate much.
[21:26:12] <coffman> yeah
[21:26:33] <coffman> since this is more way of...
[21:28:26] <coffman> i wonder how easy it would be to put that boot stuff on an cf-card so that i could put a whole-disk-zfs on my hds, and if i would do so would it be possible to use "any" kind of zpool?
[21:28:45] <dclarke> question .. what are my options for mounting a filesystem other than onerror=panic ?
[21:28:52] <dclarke> man mount_ufs may help eh ?
[21:29:01] <tomww> oh, I did a USB-Stick boot around a year ago
[21:30:19] <coffman> point is, i dont want to waste ports and spaces for hds in a system "just" for bootdisks
[21:30:52] <tomww> so, if you have a proper mainboard support for booting off of usb or a usb-cardreader with a CF_Card, then the only thing should be to copy a ufs-based installation over (the external storage would hold some files needed for the boot).
[21:31:02] <tomww> true.
[21:31:13] <Doc> fairly sure the onerror= stuff still doesnt work
[21:32:02] <dclarke> onerror = action  where The default is panic
[21:32:03] <coffman> usb boot support is not needed cause there a cf to ide adapters around
[21:32:28] <dclarke> my other options are lock or umount
[21:32:33] <dclarke> they are all nasty
[21:35:36] <sommerfeld> onerror=keep_stumbling_as_if_nothing_had_happened wouldn't pass muster.
[21:35:51] <tomww> coffman: standard ide could be a better choice, it's would make the bios support for usb-boot needless. And it would give fixed device-paths to the CF_Card
[21:37:13] <coffman> if i have a zpool with to mirrors on it, one with two 400gb disk "whole disk" zfs and one with two 80gb none "whole disk" zfs - how would the performance be?
[21:38:04] <charlieS> don't give ZFS partitions..
[21:38:35] <charlieS> oh, you're just saying that one mirror is smaller.
[21:38:44] <dclarke> sommerfeld : I was looking for onerror=la la la I don't see a problem la la la I don't want to know la la la
[21:39:02] <coffman> jap, i would have one mirror on slices
[21:41:37] <sommerfeld> dclarke: same thing as "keep on stumbling"
[21:42:02] <dclarke> is not
[21:42:58] <richlowe> Sure it is.

[21:43:33] <sommerfeld> let's have an argument rather than contradiction.
[21:43:39] <dclarke> no
[21:43:42] <dclarke> your wrong

[21:56:12] <dclarke> schily : hello
[21:56:21] <postwait_> I am running s10u3.  I did a zfs clone/zfs promote and then a zfs destroy on the snapshot
[21:56:26] <postwait_> And zfs destory core dumps
[21:56:40] <dclarke> schily : perhaps the SATA controllers in the T1000 or T2000 are a good example ?
[21:56:53] <dclarke> schily :  at least .. I think that those are SATA
[21:56:56] <postwait_> in qsort (in zfs_vertex_sort_edges)
[21:57:07] <dojtoll> schily: I've used a controller with SIL3112 chipset. Works fins. Also the nforce-chipset works fine for me.

[21:57:27] <comay> dclarke: some of those are known issues.  the postrun is offline since the post-installation gnome things are being done
[21:57:33] <lloy0076> Is there any sane way to unremove JDS if one's installed it?
[21:57:47] <comay> the dbus issue is 6466379 svc:/system/dbus:default goes into maintenance mode in zones
[21:57:48] <gdamore> schily: I've not tried nevada on it, but the controller on the VIA C7 works fine in IDE compat mode.
[21:57:49] <dclarke> lloy0076 :  pkginfo | grep -i gnome
[21:57:55] <sickness> schily: if for "work" you mean being in "cfgadm" output, I think only the sil3124 and the marvell
[21:58:08] <richlowe> and the AHCI bits these days.
[21:58:10] <dclarke> lloy0076 :  then pkgrm all those
[21:58:23] <richlowe> but that definition of 'work' is native SATA via sata framework, rather than IDE compat.
[21:58:24] <dclarke> comay : is this something I care about for Oracle ?
[21:58:25] <sickness> schily: if for "work" you mean being able to write/read on the disks, pretty every sata controller on the market, but in pata emulation mode...
[21:58:28] <richlowe> rather than "actually function for I/O"
[21:58:39] <schily> OK, so the problem might be to find out which controller uses which chipset
[21:58:44] <comay> the printer issue is 5100134 print/rfc1179 ends up by default in "offline" state
[21:58:51] <sickness> schily: exactly
[21:59:02] <postwait_> I think I hit bug: 6447203
[21:59:03] <dclarke> comay : no problem .. there will be no printing here
[21:59:06] * lloy0076 thinks a reinstall of ON55 is going to be easier.
[21:59:07] <postwait_> it says closed:duplicate
[21:59:21] <postwait_> which other bug was the duplicate (I don't see that on bugs.o.org
[21:59:22] <comay> dclarke: i don't think so - you can svcadm disable both rfc1179 and dbus in the zone
[22:00:00] <schily> If a controller works in ATA compat mode, does this mean it is impossible to connect more than 4 drives to it?

[22:02:17] <schily> I did have problems with OpenSolaris last year (till September)

[22:02:42] *** lloy0076 has left #opensolaris
[22:02:58] <richlowe> most of the patches on sunsolve seem to be keyed on the main bug, rather than the sub-CR, so I'd assume so.
[22:03:17] <schily> I needed to buy new chips (now I have 2x Opteron 875) and it works again for me
[22:03:20] <richlowe> unless I totally misunderstood that.
[22:03:42] <sickness> schily: I think it should work with no problems even with more than 4 ports, because it will see them as 2+2+2+... anyway, for what I know... YMMV
[22:03:46] <axisys> how do i rebuild the devlinks on sol 8 without booting?
[22:03:48] <coffman> schily: 3112, 3124, nforce onboard, marvell88sx, some intel onboard, some lsi sas controller - and basicly all that got a "ide legacy" mode
[22:03:53] * dclarke thinks yayyy .. df works in a zone now
[22:04:04] <richlowe> df worked in a zone before.
[22:04:11] <richlowe> the reason it behaves somewhat strangley is an artifact of the way lofs works.
[22:04:12] <bubbva> postwait_ yes, the same CR number should appear across releases.
[22:04:15] <dclarke> no it didn't
[22:04:44] <richlowe> dclarke: are you talking about it crossing filesystems even when you tell it not to?
[22:04:45] <bubbva> richlowe: subCRs are an artifact of the implementation of our bug management system & should never be customer visible (I know, they've leaked out in places *sigh*)
[22:04:46] <schily> ON the other side, I don't have the payed student anymore, I need to work fulltime on a different project and I did  work on cdrtools, star and SCCS recently
[22:04:59] <postwait_> bubbva: is there an easy way to tell if there is a patch for s10u3 that fixes 6434054?
[22:05:32] <dclarke> richlowe :  no sir .. just that df -F ufs -k  would report nothing sometimes
[22:05:49] <dclarke> richlowe :  never mind .. I'm an idiot
[22:05:54] <bubbva> postwait_ besides searching sunsolve (for you guys), I don't think there is.  I can see, though, internally, that the problem is not fixed in s10 yet.
[22:06:04] <dclarke> richlowe :  if the zone is on ZFS then duh

[22:06:25] <dclarke> thats a big zone
[22:07:08] <bubbva> I don't believe b.o.o exposes subCR workflow to you (we have internal tools that do this)
[22:07:17] <richlowe> bubbva: it does, but only slightly.
[22:07:38] <richlowe> bubbva:  it shows up as such in the Fixed In Build: bit.
[22:07:53] <dclarke> I don't think that OpenSolaris exposes a bootablr OS either but I somehow get over that
[22:08:17] <bubbva> so, that fix is targeting s10u4 gate right now...
[22:08:53] <richlowe> I don't believe it makes any connection from main->sub until they're closed, I suspect sub->main references are visible via See Also.
[22:09:06] *** lloy0076 has joined #opensolaris

[22:19:25] *** glagasse has quit IRC
[22:19:40] *** Odin-LAP has quit IRC
[22:19:53] <jmcp> schily: ... and electrical signal issues?
[22:19:59] <comay> a detacted zone has some additonal meta data saved under its <zonepath> that is verified when the zone is attached
[22:20:02] <lloy0076> comay: I'd preserver /export/home (where all my preserved stuff is) and then reinstall /usr, /opt etc etc with a normal ON55b installer.
[22:20:23] *** LordKing has quit IRC
[22:20:34] <lloy0076> comay: I'm trying to find a way of how to easily back out of my JDS "upgrade" without accidentally wiping Gnome out from underneath me
[22:20:44] <comay> you should be able to reattach the zone as long as 1) you first configure it after the reinstall is done and 2) you've reinstalled the same OS version
[22:20:58] <schily> this is not a big  problem with SATA, but a sufficient power supply would be needed
[22:21:26] <comay> lloy0076: one of the things that's saved in the metadata is packaging information so you may not be able to reattach the zone later
[22:23:07] <lloy0076> comay: It will have come from the same install disk that I'll be using to get myself back to normal. My Solaris zone I'm not worried about (if I lose that, then tough) however my BrandZ Linux zone is the one I want to make sure doesn't go for a walk.
[22:23:46] <lloy0076> comay: Even then, I can get that back from scratch (it would just take me a while).
[22:30:23] <comay> lloy0076: in that case, you should be okay as no Solaris packaging information is stored for non-native zones
[22:32:38] <sickness> little question: can someone advice to me a software that is able to shutdown a solaris machine talking on the serial port to an UPS?
[22:33:26] * lloy0076 hmmm
[22:33:41] <dclarke> sickness : an APC unit ?
[22:33:51] <lloy0076> Anyway, off to work I go!
[22:33:52] *** lloy0076 has quit IRC
[22:34:05] <sickness> dclarke: uhm, nope, doesn't have a brand, but it has a serial port...
[22:34:17] <dclarke> that's a toughie
[22:34:23] <sickness> dclarke: and I have the docs of the protocol, so if I find a software, maybe I can see if it's compatible...
[22:34:30] <sickness> dclarke: yeah, but maybe not...
[22:34:39] <dclarke> when in doubt .. write your own
[22:34:54] <dclarke> some dilly daemon that polls the serial port every 5 secs
[22:34:56] <sickness> heh, I'm simply not able :)
[22:34:57] <CIA-22> Vikram Hegde: 6517377 path_get_descriptor_by_name() always returns NULL; 6517388 rcm_daemon_call() may test uninitialized variable
[22:35:03] <dclarke> oh ..
[22:35:20] <sickness> I'd really prefer to find one that already works, and if necessary try to modify it, why reinvent the wheel? :)
[22:35:28] <dclarke> call up Rich Teer .. he cna do that in his sleep
[22:35:33] <dclarke> I could if I had the time
[22:35:43] <sickness> there's a lot of people using solaris here, I doubt no one uses a serial ups! =)
[22:35:54] <richlowe> nut, perhaps?
[22:36:09] <dclarke> sickness : I do
[22:36:43] <sickness> ok, so, which software do you use to monitor it and in case shutdown solaris? =)
[22:36:45] <dclarke> sickness : all my UPS gear is APC however and I use their software
[22:36:58] <LeftWing> Net UPS Tools is an alright package, I've heard.
[22:37:16] <sickness> k, tnx

[22:56:04] <elektronkind> http://elektronkind.org/2007/01/sun-storagetek-6140-buyer-beware/
[22:56:08] <jmcp> ta
[22:56:17] <elektronkind> the ordeal put me in a bad mood
[22:57:51] <elektronkind> I know IBM uses the same Engenio base chassis, as does Blue Arc and others, but the whole marketing terminology thing getting in the way and having to pay for the privilege of masking luns really irritates me
[22:58:33] <elektronkind> plus the early rev of 6140 docs I read before buying this seemed to confuse the whole "what is Storage Domains, really" issue.
[22:59:20] <quasi> elektronkind: thanks for the warning
[22:59:49] <elektronkind> no problem
[23:00:05] <elektronkind> I just wish that, on the storage side of things, sun had feature continuity
[23:00:05] * quasi crosses 6140 off the list
[23:00:20] <dclarke> elektronkind :  if it makes you feel any better I speced out a storage solution for a telco company based on Apple X-Serve units
[23:00:41] <elektronkind> dclarke: beware. those no longer do lun masking either.
[23:00:48] <dclarke> elektronkind :  they looked at me like I was a nut .. I was speeccing SunFire gear and then Apple X-Serve units ?
[23:00:58] <dclarke> elektronkind :  say what ?
[23:01:03] <elektronkind> dclarke: we use Xraids (as I call them) here too.
[23:01:34] <dclarke> elektronkind :  I did tell them that Sun was so fu#$ked up in terms of storage that they couldn't get their own people to do it right so they bought a storage company to screw up also
[23:01:35] <AbeFroman> wtf.  you get the car for $100 but the steering wheel costs $20000
[23:01:48] <elektronkind> dclarke: the story with the xraids is a very recent development. Apple removed Lun masking in the new firmwair/RAID Admin management app that was released last week.
[23:01:53] <jmcp> elektronkind: running s10 or nv on those boxes attached to the 6140?
[23:02:13] <elektronkind> elektronkind: unfortunately no. most of them are s10, but we have windows as well
[23:02:14] <dclarke> but they did go with the SunFire SF6900 units because those "just rock"
[23:02:17] <quasi> there's a difference in the apples - you can't even buy the feature
[23:02:30] <elektronkind> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=828844&tstart=0
[23:02:34] <elektronkind> read that, dclarke
[23:02:44] <elektronkind> I'm "Dale Ghent" in that thread
[23:02:45] <dclarke> the other really large disappointment is ZFS and NFS put together
[23:03:15] <gdamore> this is not the only case I know of for feature discontinuity with sun products.
[23:03:23] <LeftWing> dclarke: Why is that disappointing?
[23:03:30] <elektronkind> jmcp: if all the serves I had slated to use the 6140 were mine and they were all s10, I'd implement target filtering in fp.conf
[23:03:43] <dclarke> because its screwed for performance
[23:03:50] <elektronkind> jmcp: but alas, the situation precludes doing that :/
[23:03:51] <gdamore> but it _is_ the only case i know of where Sun decided to charge for the feature instead of just dropping it altogether
[23:04:10] <jmcp> elektronkind: :(
[23:04:41] <jmcp> elektronkind: istr though that the qla and lpfc drivers do some sort of lun masking as well ... so you might not be totally S.O.L.

[23:06:43] <dclarke> uh huh ?
[23:06:54] * dclarke braces himself
[23:06:55] <benr> dclarke, any plans for pkg-get to not force a complete upgrade when a single dependancy is out of date?
[23:07:12] * dclarke braces himself even further with scotch
[23:07:25] <elektronkind> yeah, Apple's and Engenio's LUN masking moves perflex me. It seems as far as they're concerened, features are not really a competitive advantage anymore.
[23:07:33] <dclarke> well ... thats a toughie that Phil and I talk/squabble about
[23:07:37] <elektronkind> s/perflex/perplex
[23:07:56] <dclarke> benr :  ultimately we feel that we need a new package management tool
[23:08:00] <elektronkind> I have half a mind to write Bonwick about this type of stuff
[23:08:05] <dclarke> benr : the best work around that I can give you is this
[23:08:10] <benr> dclarke, any eta or idea on how taht'll go?
[23:08:37] <dclarke> benr : its a long process .. we need to write from scratch and I'm not going to do it with shell scripts or perl .. its pure C
[23:08:48] <dclarke> benr : let me give you an easy workaround
[23:09:02] <dclarke> benr : and .. I need to update the HOWTO page .. it sucks
[23:09:11] <dclarke> benr : do you haev a machine handy ?
[23:09:12] <jmcp> elektronkind: do so
[23:09:39] <dclarke> benr : oh also .. if you use ibiblio.org as your mirror .. please stop that .. it sucks also
[23:09:54] <dclarke> benr : run /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -U
[23:10:05] <_syphilis_> dclarke: why not adapt an existing tool like apt-get?
[23:10:14] <dclarke> benr : then /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -c | grep -v Not | grep -v SAME
[23:10:34] <dclarke> _syphilis_ :  I'd rather start hard drugs in my life .. thank you but no
[23:10:51] <dclarke> benr : you will get a list of packages out of date
[23:11:03] <dclarke> benr : are you following me here ?
[23:11:10] <benr> yes.
[23:11:13] <benr> I'm grumbling.
[23:11:15] <benr> :)
[23:11:31] <dclarke> benr : thats okay .. this is a simple feature that will go into pkg-get
[23:11:43] <dclarke> benr : soonish
[23:11:52] <dclarke> benr : once you get that out of sync list
[23:12:06] <dclarke> benr : pick the ONE package that bugs you
[23:12:13] <dclarke> benr : ok ?
[23:12:23] <stevel> benr: pong
[23:12:26] <benr> as a side note, any plans to stop supporting Solaris 8? or not requiring both SPARC and X86 packages?
[23:12:29] <dclarke> benr : then run /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -d packagename
[23:12:37] <axisys> i have a 450 with two disk in  mirror.. i am having issue to use on of those disk to start a netra t1

[23:13:26] <benr> comay, heh, you didn't miss much. ;)
[23:13:27] <dclarke> benr : holy crap .. I have been waging HOLY JIHAD inside Blastwave to get everyone one to drop sun4m and to move forward now .. please
[23:13:38] <stevel> richlowe: a team that is seemingly determined to not present any sort of public interface of any kind
[23:13:39] *** detriment is now known as movement
[23:13:42] <richlowe> stevel: the random delay between internal availablity and external interests me.
[23:13:50] <axisys> but booting the netra t1 with that keep giving me not found /sbin and /usr/sbin
[23:13:53] <dclarke> benr :  I am ready to FORK actually
[23:13:54] <comay> benr: from the Gman transcript, it sounds like it went really well
[23:13:57] <richlowe> since it's, well, random in the most literal of senses, excluding when respins delay things.
[23:14:00] <stevel> there apparently is a lot of SDLC delay
[23:14:08] <stevel> i don't know why
[23:14:08] <benr> dclarke, currently at Joyent we're using our own internal mirror so that we can provide up to date packages that aren't present in Blastwave.
[23:14:11] <benr> such as, like, Python.
[23:14:14] <dclarke> benr :  and drag in a new project that is exclusive to Solaris 10 and Solaris Nevada
[23:14:16] <axisys> i ran fsck couple times.. also made sure root disk /dev/dsk/c1t0d0s0
[23:14:18] <stevel> i've been trying to argue with them for a while on it
[23:14:28] <Gman> richlowe: there must be enough people connected to that team to be able to give more public information about delays
[23:14:36] <dclarke> benr : nice of you to contribute back ya know ...
[23:14:39] <richlowe> stevel: punch os.org through to nana, and hope nobody notices ;)
[23:14:44] <Auralis> http://fun.drno.de/pics/windoof/which_vista.gif
[23:14:52] <dclarke> benr : yeah Python is an ugly duckling
[23:14:59] * Gman thinks parts of nana should be public too
[23:15:12] <dclarke> benr : would be nice of you to submit the package to the newpkgs directory on Blastwave
[23:15:36] <dclarke> benr : in any case .. you download the one package that you want locally and then pkgrm CSWfoo
[23:15:44] <jmcp> Auralis: thanks for that link ...
[23:15:51] <dclarke> benr : then pkgad d-d ./CSWfoo.pkg etc etc
[23:15:58] * jmcp forwards link to brother who's been keen to show me Vista @ every opportunity ...
[23:16:10] <Auralis> jmcp: hehe
[23:16:18] <benr> Honestly, I want to contribute a lot to Blastwave, but being forced to build both X86 and SPARC on Solaris 8 is just painful.
[23:16:29] <stevel> richlowe: yeah, then i can join you in the non-sun community after i get fired :-P
[23:16:31] <benr> I can crank out X86 Nevada packages without missing a beat.
[23:16:40] <benr> but Sol8/SPARC builds are evil.
[23:16:47] <dclarke> benr : exactly why I am forking
[23:16:48] <stevel> and we can both bitch to all the sun folks about how the process sucks for non-sun people

[23:20:22] <dclarke> benr : I don't do things in a small way
[23:20:31] <stevel> about the development process?  or the SXCE release process?
[23:20:45] <Gman> stevel, the not suck part.
[23:20:46] <richlowe> Gman: bitch at stevel, works for me ;)
[23:20:49] <dclarke> in any case I am working on Oracle on snv_55b here
[23:20:50] <richlowe> Gman: he enjoys it really.
[23:21:22] <stevel> gman: right, but do you want to hassle about the SXCE release process not sucking? or the development process not sucking?
[23:21:31] <stevel> i thought you meant development process originally - but maybe i'm confused
[23:21:49] <stevel> because we've designed the development process to screw richlowe - not the SXCE release process.  that was designed to screw everyone non-Sun
[23:21:52] <Gman> stevel, probably a bit of evening
[23:22:03] <richlowe> stevel: the dev. process screws everyone.

[23:32:54] <asyd> (but I don't have lot of requirements)
[23:34:38] <benr> coffman, pkgsrc is something we considered but its too prone to issues in a production enviroment.  Its a great power-user system or even if your managing packages for someone else, but putting pkgsrc in the hands of new users isn't good.
[23:34:46] <benr> and Sun's CCD/SFW projects are a joke.
[23:34:54] <benr> Blastwave isn't perfect, but its the best there is.

[23:36:35] <benr> coffman, no, looks decent.
[23:36:38] <steleman> ahhh, the colors ...
[23:36:39] <benr> building packages isn't hard.
[23:36:41] <Gman> richlowe, hawhaw
[23:36:46] <dlg> pkgsrc would be ok if netbsd took it a bit more seriously and actually tested on the platforms they list as supported
[23:36:51] <benr> its building an easy to use repo and distributing them.
[23:39:00] *** jmcp has quit IRC
[23:39:17] <coffman> to me all that systems like blastwave, openpkg and pkgsrc looking borked since they use there own userland
[23:39:28] *** McBofhnyah has joined #opensolaris
[23:40:37] <coffman> and blastwave (the only one i realy tried, yeah blame me) is realy annoying when it comes to dependencies
[23:42:13] <Gman> that's the problem with supporting multiple platforms/releases
[23:42:34] <richlowe> You have two competing problems, really on that scale of things.
[23:42:46] <richlowe> you either do what blastwave does, or you use way more resources to build your stuff.
[23:43:11] <postwait> We manage our own packaging here.  But the only reason it isn't hard is that we don't deal with any of the distribution problems.
[23:43:25] <Gman> or you target a single release
[23:43:26] <postwait> We're pleasing an audience of one (corporation)
[23:43:51] <postwait> you acutally don't use much resources to build things yourself.
[23:44:01] *** jmcp has joined #opensolaris
[23:44:04] <postwait> as you'd likely not target a wide audience...
[23:44:07] <dclarke> hello .. what ?
[23:44:16] <coffman> well, i started using pmpkg since the debuging blastwave things was such a huge pain
[23:44:35] <dclarke> coffman : hey .. blastwave is free .. quit yer bitchin
[23:44:50] <postwait> blastwave is nice.
[23:45:05] <dclarke> well in a sec .. the site will be down
[23:45:08] <richlowe> Gman: blastwave do.
[23:45:09] <dclarke> this is a test
[23:45:10] <richlowe> Gman: it just happens to be 8 ;)
[23:45:13] <dclarke> for just a sec ...
[23:45:32] <dclarke> or .. not .. nope .. never mind
[23:46:02] <Gman> richlowe, and 9 and 10, no?
[23:46:30] <richlowe> Gman: they build on 8 and rely on the ABI compat for it to work on later, iirc.
[23:46:33] <richlowe> that's the root of the problem in fact.
[23:46:45] <Gman> ahh
[23:46:46] <dclarke> what problem ?
[23:46:46] <coffman> sure - whats not so nice is that blastwave does not provide the patches that they use or that there build scripts
[23:46:57] <dclarke> bullshit
[23:47:00] <richlowe> dclarke: oh, the whole 'sucking in duplicate stuff to satisfy blastwave deps' thing.
[23:47:07] * dclarke gets technical
[23:47:20] <richlowe> Ok, if what I said above isn't the case, stop sucking in duplicate stuff as dependencies.
[23:47:32] <dclarke> richlowe : that would be because I need to ensure that a core install will work
[23:48:04] <dclarke> richlowe : also .. Sun has no plans to actually do anything with open source software anywyas
[23:48:22] *** McBofh has quit IRC
[23:48:40] <dclarke> richlowe : so when you have something simple like bash .. you get screwed up a bit because its diff versions in Solaris 8 and 9 and 10 and SXCR
[23:49:00] <Gman> 'sun has no plans to actually do anything with open source software'
[23:49:03] <Gman> whu?
[23:49:15] <dclarke> Gman : wake up and smell the coffee
[23:49:27] *** alanc-away is now known as alanc
[23:49:31] <Gman> i'm clearly missing something
[23:49:34] <richlowe> I'd prefer whisky.
[23:49:37] <alanc> Gman: I guess you and I don't really work here
[23:49:38] <dclarke> Gman : you miss everything
[23:49:39] <richlowe> though maybe not when waking up.
[23:49:41] <benr> you woke alan.
[23:49:46] <richlowe> alanc: you mostly seem to slack on IRC ;)
[23:49:51] * benr waves to alanc
[23:49:55] <alanc> well, yeah
[23:50:01] <Gman> dclarke, seemingly
[23:50:04] <postwait> So, I hit bug 6434054
[23:50:06] <dclarke> Gman : as I understand it .. you primary plan in life is to re-wrap GNOME as JDS right ?
[23:50:15] <postwait> And I've got a zfs fs and snpshot that I can't delete.
[23:50:18] <alanc> but between IRC conversations, I do a little work on Xorg
[23:50:21] <postwait> Anyone have any ideas on a workaround?
[23:50:24] <dclarke> Gman : and you work for .. who?  Stephen Harpster ?
[23:50:29] <Gman> dclarke, more or less, porting gnome to solaris, improving it, pushing the stuff upstream
[23:50:33] <Gman> dclarke, indirectly, yes
[23:50:34] <BadKarma> aghr
[23:50:53] <postwait> zfs destroy data/zones/foo an zfs destroy data/zones/foo@kcs
[23:50:58] <postwait> both seg fault.
[23:51:01] <benr> postwait, get all users off the mount, delete the snaps and all depencies (ie: clones) and then remove the dataset.
[23:51:03] <dclarke> Gman : okay .. so sti23ck to that and its working well .. you don't concern yourself with PostgreSQL rigth ?
[23:51:10] <dclarke> Gman : or KDE ?
[23:51:17] * benr runs off for a bit.
[23:51:18] <Gman> right
[23:51:19] <postwait> benr: I did that, it still segfaults.
[23:51:22] <dclarke> Gman : or %million other things% ?
[23:51:28] <benr> postwait, which build?
[23:51:35] <postwait> it sol10u3
[23:51:40] <dclarke> Gman : so like I said .. you miss everything ..
[23:51:53] <postwait> If it was ON, I'd BFU and see if that fixed it
[23:52:01] <dclarke> Gman : what I should say .. is .. everything else other than GNOME/JDS
[23:52:37] <Gman> [and it's dependencies]
[23:52:44] <dclarke> Gman : if open source was of any *real* concern to Sun then we would have JDS/GNOME on shipping Solaris 8 and 9 and 10
[23:52:58] <dclarke> Gman : but we don't
[23:53:11] <coffman> aeh
[23:53:12] <alanc> GNOME ships on Solaris 8 & 9
[23:53:17] <dclarke> Gman : even though your user/customer base is still largely Solaris 8 looking at Linux
[23:53:32] <Gman> there's a different line between caring about open source and business needs
[23:53:33] <dclarke> alanc : from the dark ages
[23:53:36] <alanc> it's just really ancient
[23:53:42] <dclarke> Gman : bingo !  exactly
[23:53:43] <Gman> and if you haven't noticed our share price, we're not exactly rolling in cash
[23:53:58] <dclarke> Gman : Sun is rolling in cash
[23:54:03] <dclarke> Gman : you are not
[23:54:12] <dclarke> Gman : let's not mis the two .. you are not Sun
[23:54:13] <alanc> if a customer is running Solaris 8, obviously they don't want new features
[23:54:28] <dclarke> alanc : they want stability
[23:54:40] <coffman> lol
[23:54:40] <alanc> right, so they want the 10 year old version of CDE they have
[23:54:57] <dclarke> weather you like it or not tons of GOV customers and telco shops and WallStreet are running Solaris 8 .. still
[23:55:06] <jmcp> Gman: except for the 4+billion USD that McNealy managed to squirrel away
[23:55:15] <dclarke> alanc : CDE means nothing
[23:55:30] <dclarke> in fact .. on a Oracle server the JDS/GNOME means even les
[23:55:34] <dclarke> less
[23:55:35] <jmcp> dclarke: you can only say that cos you're not the US Govt
[23:55:42] *** b3stbuddy has joined #opensolaris
[23:55:42] <coffman> who needs solaris 8 on a desktop ...
[23:55:48] <delewis> dclarke, all government applications use Motif/CDE.
[23:55:51] <dclarke> jmcp : no but I have a hell of a pile of stats
[23:56:13] <coffman> there is something called eol
[23:56:18] <b3stbuddy> whats the difference between opensolaris and solaris?
[23:56:21] <dclarke> delewis :  the back end server processes .. like tracking apps and database and things like that are not graphical
[23:56:26] <delewis> and CDE is still be using my most, if not, 100% of air traffic control towers.
[23:56:32] <alanc> a whole bunch of govt. agencies are on 8 because there was no newer option for Trusted until about 2 months ago
[23:56:49] <alanc> a big chunk of those are starting to evaluate moving to 10
[23:56:58] <dclarke> in that case it will take them .. a 2 year transition plan to look at the newer trusted Solaris
[23:57:04] <delewis> dclarke, the only reason XiG still exists is because of the number of customers that require CDE/Motif.
[23:57:17] <Gman> are you trying to justify blastwave or what? i don't get your argument at all :)
[23:57:26] <dclarke> delewis :  heck .. last time I checked the /usr/ucb stuff was still in ther etoo
[23:57:51] <alanc> blastwave exists because Sun screwed up the companion CD so badly in the past
[23:57:59] <alanc> and still is for that matter
[23:58:00] <dclarke> SunOS ora10g001 5.11 snv_55b i86pc i386 i86pc  still has /usr/ucb/ls
[23:58:14] <dclarke> Gman : justify ? why would I
[23:58:15] <Gman> alanc, i agree
[23:58:30] <alanc> it's grown beyond that, but that was the kick that got the ball rolling
[23:58:41] <dclarke> Gman : look .. we have a hell of a transition over the past 2 years
[23:58:42] <coffman> one of the screwed up things in "companion CD" is the "cd" :)
[23:59:11] <dclarke> Gman : and the Solaris OS being opensource is just starting to trickle into grey hair fat management in lots of places
[23:59:13] <alanc> coffman: exactly - the whole notion that opensource is something you deliver once on a CD and then forget is one of the most fundamental problems with it
[23:59:34] <dclarke> Gman : just the other day I had to swallow my fist when a guy told me that Solaris on x86 does not exist
[23:59:52] <delewis> alanc, SGI, HP, and IBM do the same thing.
