[00:01:57] <CSFrost> 205w for a display isn't too bad right?
[00:02:10] *** Mazon is now known as mazon
[00:02:54] *** mikefut has quit IRC
[00:03:05] <pfn> 205W?  power suckage?
[00:03:07] <pfn> that's bad
[00:03:10] <pfn> crt?
[00:03:31] <CSFrost> lcd
[00:03:34] <CSFrost> 37"
[00:03:51] <CSFrost> my 22's are 150 each
[00:03:52] <pfn> I guess not bad for 37"
[00:04:15] *** timsf has quit IRC
[00:04:16] <CSFrost> that's what I was thinking..
[00:04:33] *** vmlemon has quit IRC
[00:04:34] <CSFrost> I just didn't want to look bad having power-hogging lcd's on my sunrays.
[00:04:48] <CSFrost> you know, I don't want the gore-effect.
[00:06:08] *** dlynes_laptop has joined #opensolaris
[00:10:39] <twincest> what could you possibly use a 37" LCD for on a sunray?
[00:11:08] <CSFrost> a cure for bad eyesight?
[00:11:45] <twincest> are you partially blind?
[00:12:04] <CSFrost> mostly
[00:14:55] *** Plouj has quit IRC
[00:15:50] <coffman> CSFrost: your 22" lcds use 150w ? crts you mean or?
[00:17:04] <CSFrost> no, lcd's
[00:17:39] <CSFrost> the old ibm t221 is rated at 150w, I have a hunch it uses even more though.
[00:20:32] *** dduvall has quit IRC
[00:20:53] <palowoda> 125W on a gateway 24inch lcd.
[00:21:31] <CSFrost> and I think Sun claims 90 or so on their 24

[00:23:02] <palowoda> What does a 21inch CRT take to operate?
[00:23:53] <e^ipi> eyes
[00:24:00] <e^ipi> maybe fingers too
[00:24:06] <palowoda> the eyes have it.
[00:24:31] <moazamraja> 30" Apple = 150W
[00:24:43] <CSFrost> hp and sony look like 135 for both their 21" crt
[00:25:00] *** uebayasi has quit IRC
[00:25:22] <CSFrost> really 30" apple is 150W?
[00:26:23] <moazamraja> CSFrost: as per the specs
[00:26:30] <moazamraja> i dont have a power-meter, otherwise i'd test it

[00:33:08] <migi> Gman, I won't be able to go to your talk about Indiana thing in Dublin ;( but I hope some podcast will be available :)
[00:33:41] <Gman> ok, i'm sure tim will record it
[00:33:50] <migi> :)
[00:34:11] <stevel> 'afternoon glynn
[00:34:28] <richlowe> Gman: he better do a better job than you did of Bonnie's ;)
[00:34:36] <richlowe> Gman: given he was the first to blame you for the lack of quality there. :)
[00:34:39] <Gman> hey stevel
[00:34:46] <Gman> richlowe, yeah, that fucker
[00:34:50] <Gman> he's supposed to be on my side
[00:34:51] <Gman> ;)
[00:35:12] <Gman> i'd rather not have the indiana talk recorded
[00:35:21] <Gman> now i can jerk off and make wise crack remarks
[00:35:40] <Gman> [and the minor point of making sure i know what i'm talking about]

[00:37:21] <Gman> heh
[00:42:13] <richlowe> You need to record it.
[00:42:18] <richlowe> that way we can yell when you screw up.
[00:43:04] <stevel> richlowe: you sure know how to make a guy feel confident ;)
[00:43:08] <coffman> CSFrost: we have 19" widescreens that suck 32w
[00:44:12] <coffman> we throw out 30 19"-22" eizos, they sucked 120-150w each
[00:44:21] <richlowe> stevel: the motivation is to not screw up, obviously.
[00:44:44] <CSFrost> coffman, know any good 37+ that suck 32w? :-)
[00:45:36] <coffman> CSFrost: nah, and since we have the real power back in europe i think it differs, 230v ftw!

[00:53:57] <Samy> Hi Gman
[00:54:10] <Gman> Samy, hey! how's things?
[00:54:41] <Samy> Ah. Not too good but trying to improve current situation. Interesting work otherwise outside of GSoC for the moment.
[00:54:45] <Samy> Yourself?
[00:55:30] <Gman> Samy, yeah, not bad - mostly procrastinating doing any real useful work
[00:55:37] <Gman> Samy, gsoc not going good?
[00:56:03] <Samy> It was going very well. Even did formal models of things.
[00:56:12] <Samy> But I ran into a pretty serious financial hiccup which I must correct.
[00:56:21] <Samy> Been working on that for the last 2 weeks or so.
[00:56:35] <Gman> Samy, ah, suckage :(
[00:56:45] <Gman> Samy, did you notify darren?
[00:56:48] <Samy> Once it's fixed, skipping past the complete platform analysis and jumping into the code for BPF to meet the dead-line.
[00:56:56] <Samy> Gman: Yup
[00:57:10] <Gman> cool, thanks - don't worry about it too much
[00:57:18] <Samy> I *really* want to do this work.
[00:57:22] <Gman> do what you need to do, and the gsoc can hang in the background :)
[00:57:33] <Samy> I was even threatened to lose my research position at school for this work :-P
[00:57:43] <Samy> Gman: This is my only choice for now.
[00:57:48] <Gman> ugh, suck
[00:57:55] <Gman> Samy, would it help having a letter from sun or anything?
[00:58:00] <Samy> But I'll definitely be trying to meet deadline and continue work ASAP.
[00:58:08] <Samy> Gman: No. I did it another way ;]
[00:58:15] <Gman> heh, ok
[00:58:18] <Samy> I did T2000 try and buy.
[00:58:25] <Gman> heh, ok
[00:58:29] <Samy> For some CMT work with smith waterman try and buy.
[00:58:52] <Samy> I think people think I got that through SoC :-p So, they're laid back now with regards to "outside" research.
[00:58:53] <Gman> Samy, if you get into hardware problems again, let me know - i may be able to help
[00:59:40] <Samy> Cool, thanks.
[00:59:57] <Samy> I was using our lab for FreeBSD/Linux performance analysis. BGE cards.
[01:00:04] <Samy> However, OpenSolaris failed to detect the card at the time.
[01:00:13] <Samy> So that's my next step really once I have time.
[01:00:20] <Samy> Probably just PCI ID issue.

[01:05:54] <Gman> heh
[01:06:21] <Gman> was this at the silicon valley ug? or one of the interviews?

[01:07:39] <twincest> is it worth paying to listen to the talks on skype?
[01:08:53] <Gman> richlowe, remind me the issues you had?
[01:09:00] *** Tpenta has quit IRC
[01:09:10] <Gman> twincest, it's relatively cheap to do
[01:09:17] <Gman> but where possible, i'll provide an mp3
[01:09:25] <twincest> ah, that sounds better :)
[01:09:40] *** Tpenta has joined #opensolaris
[01:10:27] <SYS64738> what's the right way to install webmin on solaris ?
[01:10:47] <Gman> twincest, having a skype account is pretty useful though
[01:10:49] * Gman recommends
[01:10:53] <twincest> i do have one
[01:10:58] <twincest> but i'm poor so i don't want to waste credit :)
[01:11:29] <twincest> i find it a bit shitty though, i tried to call someone at sun on skype and the quality was not even close to usable

[01:18:51] <jmcp> twincest: nope, sorry
[01:20:10] * Tpenta had gman call him from skype to phone yesterday and it was damned good quality

[03:10:05] *** alanc_away has quit IRC
[03:10:33] <twincest> and why does iscsiadm use --CHAP-secret instead of --chap-secret?  stupid shift keys
[03:10:34] *** alanc_away has joined #opensolaris
[03:11:20] <boyd> Agreed... if you're gonnna use CHAP, you should use iSCSIadm
[03:13:34] <sommerfeld> boyd: i think it's a case of software structure emulating organization structure.  different people did target and initiator..
[03:14:56] <gdamore> Tempt: it might be significant for certain bits of code.
[03:15:15] <gdamore> but only on old hardware.
[03:15:39] <gdamore> like my 360MHz US-II system, that can't pass the nicdrv tests because it can't process 1byte UDP rx frames fast enough.
[03:15:46] <twincest> i also wonder why iscsi keeps logging "cannot connect" errors even though it's working fine
[03:16:16] <dlg> gdamore: udp isnt reliable though, thats a bit harsh of the tests :)

[03:34:43] <richlowe> gdamore: did you see the bit re: hme?
[03:37:12] <brendang> gdamore: why doesn't UDP have MDT or LSO yet?
[03:38:11] <brendang> gdamore: MDT would probably help with little packets; and LSO would probably help with big packets...
[03:40:17] <sommerfeld> the only definition of LSO i've seen is highly TCP-specific.
[03:42:28] <brendang> sommerfeld: from Solaris, sure, as the TCP code supports it. But if the card is just doing IP fragments, then I don't see why UDP LSO couldn't be done. Maybe there is little reason to (different expected traffic workloads).

[04:04:09] <richlowe> No.
[04:04:20] <richlowe> (and it shouldn't, either)
[04:06:17] <theRealballchalk> richlowe: what about the dependencies from the blastwave firefox? if those install then........i will have double instances of those as well?
[04:06:34] <richlowe> Yes.
[04:06:53] <richlowe> blastwave causes quite a bit of duplication that way
[04:09:33] <theRealballchalk> so is there a safer way to install updated softwares then?
[04:10:26] *** kszwed has quit IRC
[04:11:39] <coffman> theRealballchalk: first thing, why the hell are you going to install firefox from blastwave?
[04:11:59] <theRealballchalk> is it bad?
[04:12:02] <coffman> next, blastwave builds its own userland and touches none outside
[04:13:01] <coffman> theRealballchalk: in sxce/de there is allready a firefox. and the builds in blastwave are mostly done on solaris 8 or 7 with gcc
[04:13:16] <theRealballchalk> oh
[04:13:17] <coffman> so on the performance side there are trade offs
[04:13:17] <twincest> i thought they preferred studio at blastwave
[04:13:24] <CSFrost> thanks guys, I can always rely on coming here for a good chuckle.
[04:13:48] <coffman> yeah, might be wrong about gcc

[04:20:59] <dclarke> possible Sun ONE Studio 8 in some cases
[04:21:03] <dclarke> 12 is new .. very new
[04:21:12] <dclarke> I have it installed on Opteron here
[04:21:25] <dclarke> it will not install on Solaris 8 in a supported fashion
[04:21:40] <dclarke> it will not install on my Solaris 10 Sparc box .. don't know why
[04:21:51] <dclarke> when it gets it first round of patches .. I'll look into it
[04:21:52] <coffman> Gman: but the biggest problems atm are the depends etc
[04:22:10] <dclarke> as for firefox .. you get a ton of dependencies .. we can not rely on the ones from Sun or anywhere else
[04:22:17] <dclarke> they are rarely updated from Sun
[04:22:30] <dclarke> look at ipfilter .. its way back in revs and features
[04:22:46] <dclarke> even in OpenSolaris snv_64a you will find cdrecord to be quite out of date
[04:22:57] <coffman> dclarke: hum, i had the beta on 1/06 sparc, worked without a problem
[04:23:01] <dclarke> so .. we do our own thing and .. receive complaints continuously
[04:23:13] <coffman> dclarke: i dont complain about
[04:23:22] <dclarke> coffman : did you extract the tar ball or actually install with the instalelr ?
[04:23:32] <coffman> dclarke: installer
[04:23:49] <dclarke> I only install software that I can keep up to date with supported patch methods and for whatever reason
[04:23:52] <boyd> dclarke: You're right... what's the point of shipping External apps with the OS if you're not going to keep them up to date
[04:23:59] <dclarke> the installer borked on Solaris 10 UltraSparc
[04:24:28] <boyd> dclarke: The ipfilter thing is particularly odd... where does Darren Reed work again?
[04:24:42] <dclarke> boyd : part of my dream with gazelle is to have a software service .. like Blastwave .. that is up to date and simply keeps the versions up to date all over the place
[04:24:57] <dclarke> its years away .. the perfect OS as you know .. but we have a hell of a good leap on it
[04:25:08] <dclarke> boyd : he works at Sun I think
[04:25:16] <boyd> "dream with gazelle". Sounds like Blade Runner
[04:25:25] <dclarke> boyd : I was exchangeing emails with him today and last night on that very matter ..
[04:25:31] <boyd> dclarke: I know, it was a rhetorical question
[04:25:43] <dclarke> oh .. sorry .. sarcasm carries badly on IRC
[04:25:57] * boyd should have used a smiley
[04:26:02] <dclarke> at the moment I am watching onsnv_68 build
[04:26:09] <dclarke> or whatever its called .. ON
[04:26:12] <dclarke> open networking
[04:26:32] <dclarke> really I just want the new RealTek drivers and am fully prepared to be unhappy
[04:26:33] <boyd> Enjoy. I'm off to get some lunch.

[04:28:10] <dclarke> building OpenSolaris ON + Vermillion must be the largest open source collection in the world
[04:28:19] <dclarke> its .. staggering
[04:28:27] <dclarke> coffman : nightly
[04:28:32] <dclarke> coffman : hey !
[04:28:41] <dclarke> coffman : get a real browser !  SeaMonkey
[04:29:25] <jamesd> dclarke, at least you have some decent boxes....  the blade 150 on my desk gets unresponsive on some simple tasks... creating a ZFS filesystem,  zoneadm  -z zonename install  ...etc.
[04:30:11] <dclarke> jamesd : if I was up to speed on LDOMs then I'd hand you a .. LDOM
[04:30:38] <dclarke> in fact .. someone here a few nights ago wanted a zone .. I created it for the guy and even setup a host in a domain and all that .. he never logged in
[04:30:49] <dclarke> moonshine.opn4.org  sits idle
[04:30:52] <boyd> I don't bother with on builds any more... it's > 12 hours for me, even distributed.
[04:31:03] <dclarke> boyd : on what hardware ?
[04:31:09] <boyd> dclarke: That's edwardocalaghan's thing isn't it?
[04:31:14] <dclarke> yes
[04:31:22] <dclarke> I think he has ssh issues
[04:31:28] <boyd> 2xE250 (2x400MHz, 2GB)
[04:31:32] <dclarke> and I was too quick to just "do it" for him
[04:31:36] <boyd> :)
[04:31:45] <jamesd> dclarke, i have tons of computing power at home... its the lousy desktop that is the problem. I also have 140 solaris 8 servers,  at my desposal, but i really dont want to  break something that others are depending on...  the 140 servers,  and the smallest is probably a 2 proc,  1.5ghz  usparcV from fujitsu.
[04:31:52] <dclarke> boyd : dual 400 MHz with 4MB eCache each .. those are nice
[04:32:23] <dclarke> jamesd : big bad fujitsu power houses .. ah yes
[04:32:42] <dclarke> boyd : want to hear a tale of crazy horsepower here ?
[04:33:09] <dclarke> boyd : imagine a appliance .. with no fans .. no video .. no keyboard and no mouse
[04:33:20] <jamesd> dclarke, i got to spend a good part of the day, transfering my  ssh keys to all of them... got to enter my passwd to each one twice... lots of fun, should of looked up how to make expect do it for me :-)
[04:33:24] <dclarke> unsupported ethernet
[04:33:47] <dclarke> that's what I am building on today
[04:33:48] <boyd> ok....
[04:33:53] <CSFrost> what's the big differences between the blade 2500, and the ultra 45?
[04:34:08] <dclarke> the Blade 2500 rocks ?
[04:34:13] <jamesd> CSFrost, new case..... pic-e maybe?
[04:34:18] <jamesd> er pci-e
[04:34:23] <boyd> CSFrost: 2455
[04:34:27] <jamesd> and most likely cheaper ram
[04:34:44] <dclarke> that reminds me .. I have a whack of RAM sitting here
[04:34:50] <dclarke> like .. 16GB of it
[04:35:03] <CSFrost> I was thinking about it earlier.. and noticed, really same cpu's and everything..
[04:35:05] <dclarke> in 2GB DIMMs for V20z
[04:35:13] <dclarke> I have no idea what else it goes into
[04:35:34] <jamesd> blade 1500/2500 v210 ram is expensive,  3 rd party ram is going to cost me i think around $200 for 2GB... pc ram would be about $100 or so.
[04:36:04] <jamesd> and if it was sun certified ram it would cost me 4 times as much or more.
[04:36:13] <palowoda> Are you comparing non-ecc to ecc memory?
[04:36:18] <dclarke> damn .. I just got a grammer nazi email .. lovely .. from someone talking about my Solaris 10 installation guid .. sheesh ..
[04:36:44] <dclarke> palowoda : out of curiosity .. is ECC RAM really worth the bucks ?
[04:36:53] <CSFrost> guide*
[04:37:07] <palowoda> Home use I doubt it.
[04:37:12] <boyd> dclarke: It depends on the value of your data/uptime
[04:37:14] <dclarke> CSFrost :  yes .. that is what I intended
[04:37:33] <boyd> CSFrost is the spelling nazi :)
[04:37:41] <CSFrost> just wanted to add to the joke :-)
[04:37:42] <palowoda> I'm paying 89.00 for 2G of DDR2 6400(800mhz) stuff.
[04:37:43] <jamesd> palowoda my blade 1500, doesn't have  ECC ram i dont think...
[04:37:54] <jamesd> 2GB (2x1GB) Sun Fire V210/V240/V440 PC2100 DDR Memory Kit (p/n MX-X7404A) $259.98
[04:38:11] <boyd> "grammar", by the way :)
[04:38:37] <palowoda> Damn that is expensive for PC2100.
[04:38:50] <CSFrost> could bring in the punctuation nazi also.
[04:38:56] <dclarke> I just got told .. and I quote : Any two consecutive sentences (or clauses) ought to have a relationship if they are coherent. A period looks better, sounds better and is better. A semicolon is a queer little excrescence and has no function on its own. The semicolon is odious, superfluous, an elite period used by people who want to impress you.

[04:39:57] *** Tpent1 has joined #opensolaris
[04:40:03] *** Tpent1 has left #opensolaris
[04:40:04] <postwait> I have an OpenBSD box with 100Mbit link connected to an ethernet segment with a few Solaris 10 machines and a Linux box
[04:40:04] <dclarke> with a smiley
[04:40:08] <boyd> Hehe.... Make sure you put a semicolon at the end
[04:40:10] <palowoda> And that is slow memory too.  I love this 800mhz stuff.
[04:40:15] <postwait> when I scp from the linux (100mbit) to the openbsd box... throughput is good
[04:40:18] <dclarke> ! ha !   ;
[04:40:31] <postwait> when I go from th any of the solaris 1000mbs to the openbsd box, it goes to crap
[04:40:32] <dclarke> damn .. I just had a pascal flashback
[04:40:35] <postwait> 16kb/s
[04:40:53] <richlowe> CSFrost: pci-e, sas/sata, possibly other stuff.
[04:40:56] <postwait> It seems like the TCP congestion control on the Solaris side just implodes
[04:41:18] <postwait> anyone have any ideas on a diagnosis approach or tuning options?
[04:41:38] <CSFrost> richlowe, thanks, I was just stumped why a used 2500 seems to cost more then a new u45 :-)
[04:42:06] <dclarke> CSFrost :  I was distracted .. is there justification in the costs ?
[04:42:15] <gdamore> brendang: the reason is that Sun/Solaris has historically been fixated on TCP.
[04:42:40] <brendang> gdamore: ahh. so no technical reason..
[04:42:43] <jamesd> postwait, find out if its cpu, network, disk  bottleneck,  use blowfish as encryption algorythm,  look at output of  ssh -vv   of both ways  see if something is configured to default differently
[04:42:50] <richlowe> I had thought u25/45 and friends were inteded to use serrano too.
[04:43:08] <postwait> It's network.  The snoop shows it.
[04:43:11] <postwait> And it's one way
[04:43:14] <gdamore> richlowe: yes, I saw your response.  the reason hme lacks h/w checksum support was that this was one of the "upgrade differentiators" for other nics... particularly the gigabit ethernet.
[04:43:17] <postwait> from gige to 100mbs
[04:43:24] <richlowe> gdamore: Oh, sod that.
[04:43:25] <postwait> the other direction is pretty solid.
[04:43:36] <richlowe> gdamore: there was me expecting sensible things, like "It doesn't work right"
[04:43:39] <jamesd> frankly  i would prefer a blade 1000, and a  u20m2   for about the same money... though a bit harder to get support for the blade1000.
[04:43:40] <brendang> gdamore: much of the MDT framework is already there - I wouldn't think it would be too hard to add a udp_lsosend_data
[04:43:52] <gdamore> no, i'm pretty sure it does work right.  *BSD has it enabled on this hardware. :-)
[04:43:55] *** uebayasi has joined #opensolaris
[04:44:02] * dlg want a v445
[04:44:08] <gdamore> MDT needs to die.
[04:44:15] <gdamore> LSO, on the other hand, is interesting
[04:44:16] <brendang> gdamore: MDT is a hack, certainly
[04:44:31] * Gman wants a pony
[04:44:36] <brendang> gdamore: yes. now I'd love to see an LSO type feature on Infiniband cards.
[04:44:42] <gdamore> but nobody really sends giant UDP datagrams... 8K is about the realistic max.
[04:45:02] <brendang> gdamore: right - which brings us back to MDT.
[04:45:05] * dclarke writes down "send a 'my little pony' to Gman"
[04:45:08] <richlowe> that'd surprise me.
[04:45:14] <postwait> http://i-want-a-pony.com/
[04:45:17] <brendang> gdamore: or, killing streams altogether.
[04:45:31] <Gman> dclarke, :)
[04:45:34] <gdamore> killing streams altogether... that's part of what we're trying to do. :-)
[04:45:59] <palowoda> palowoda wants a Lamborghini
[04:46:33] * dclarke writes down "send a FIAT to Bob"
[04:46:39] <brendang> gdamore: that would be cool. some of the streams hackery is worrying, and has gone on for too long.
[04:46:43] <gdamore> GLDv3 potentially kills a lot of streams overhead, esp. for TCP/UDP
[04:47:05] <dclarke> palowoda :  trust me .. Ferrari is where it's at
[04:47:09] <palowoda> I use to work on them in a previous life.
[04:47:10] <gdamore> we have to support streams at some level for compatibility, but modern GLDv3 nics rarely call putnext().
[04:47:45] <dclarke> palowoda :  FIAT ? really ?  ever worked on a Sport coupe with the webers on it ?  the one with the Ferrari engine ?  That thing rocked
[04:48:09] <jamesd> FIAT = Fix It Again Tony.
[04:48:31] <gdamore> again, though, the largest practical UDP datagrams for ethernet are probably not much more than 8K.
[04:48:32] <CSFrost> palowoda, the routine valve adjustment on Ferrari's is just for pain lovers..
[04:48:58] <brendang> gdamore: which jumboframes cover, without needing LSO...
[04:49:08] <palowoda> No, Lams, Jensen Interceptors, Ferrarie's.  They brake down all the time.  Use to make a few bucks on those.
[04:49:40] <gdamore> right.
[04:49:42] <dclarke> geez .. I have not even heard of anyone mention the jensens in a ... a lifetime
[04:50:04] <dclarke> I used to do interesting work .. in a previosu life .. on Bosche Motronic ignition systems
[04:50:27] <dclarke> back when one could pull the chip and do a reprogram without a PhD
[04:50:45] *** pgomez has joined #opensolaris
[04:50:52] <dclarke> I must find those old pics and post them
[04:51:42] <CSFrost> electronics work on autos is an assembly line thing now.. you need to be trained to learn how to do something useless in 100 different areas..
[04:51:49] <dclarke> holy crap .. will this build ever end ...
[04:51:51] <brendang> gdamore: so, I can't remember if anyone has answered this, but do you know if network engnineering have a test suite to exercise all networking codepaths? (everything, eg, IPv4 over IPv6 tunnels, IPsec, SCTP, etc)?
[04:51:54] <CSFrost> it helps keeps the hundreds of thousands employeed.
[04:51:57] <gdamore> anyway, we need LSO on TCP for other nics badly right now.  and we need an IPv6 version of TCP LSO.
[04:52:18] <gdamore> there are lots of different test suites.  not every code path is tested though.
[04:52:30] *** pgomez has quit IRC
[04:52:31] <gdamore> witness the breakage in mobile ip, which has never been properly tested .
[04:52:35] <brendang> gdamore: we need more LSO cards on LRT systems too :)
[04:53:00] <gdamore> LRT?  as in "lab reservation tool" ?
[04:53:03] <dclarke> CSFrost : I have lost alll faith in quality products from North American auto manufacturers .. I swear by Hyundai and KIA now
[04:53:04] <brendang> gdamore: yes
[04:53:05] <palowoda> But mobile IP is EOL'ed.
[04:53:18] <gdamore> it is EOL'd, but not (yet) removed.
[04:53:32] <gdamore> i think there are other code paths that are less frequently tested too.
[04:53:35] <palowoda> Kind of like CDE.
[04:53:39] <gdamore> heh.
[04:53:55] <gdamore> anyway, only xge supports LSO at the moment, IIUC.
[04:54:20] <gdamore> we need it for nxge.  so someone has to write a "soft-LSO" module for drivers that don't have hardware LSO.
[04:54:23] *** cypromis has quit IRC
[04:54:30] * dclarke is running CDE right now .. I feel sooo retro
[04:54:30] <dclarke> heck I even have a VT220 here !
[04:54:38] <CSFrost> dclarke, I have very little faith in the car industry as a whole, even Hyundai and Kia have been getting more and more American investors.
[04:55:16] <dclarke> CSFrost : we need a quantum leap in cars .. if I had a few million .. I'd build a prototype
[04:55:23] <CSFrost> It's no longer a revolutionary industry, it's just yet another large source of taxable income for economies.
[04:55:27] <dclarke> CSFrost :  a car wit ha 25 year warrantee
[04:55:57] <CSFrost> dclarke, if I had a few million, I probably still wouldn't waste much into it..
[04:55:59] <dclarke> CSFrost :  95% recyclable materials .. high grade steels .. high grade stainless
[04:56:27] <dclarke> CSFrost :  the world needs people that value social structure and promote stability in the world
[04:56:27] <CSFrost> dclarke, because the way things are set up now, you'd need a few million just for political payoffs.
[04:56:44] <dclarke> I still have faith that "a good thing" can win
[04:56:55] <dclarke> even if Microsoft is damned near everywhere
[04:57:20] <CSFrost> Just the automobile industry at this point would be a lot more expensive to make a dent in, then the software industry.
[04:58:00] <dclarke> wellllll .. maybe
[04:58:13] <CSFrost> You can push software through borders without huge barriers, which is where the majority has to go through, before you start trying to smuggle cars across.
[04:58:16] <dclarke> the Mercedes SMART car is a damned cool invention for metro run-abouts
[04:58:27] <CSFrost> though inefficient.
[04:58:30] <dclarke> it gives me a bit of faith
[04:58:48] <dclarke> well .. I was thinking of a financial structure also .. that was revolutionary
[04:58:54] <dclarke> hear me out on this please
[04:59:01] <CSFrost> alright, go on :-)
[04:59:12] <dclarke> okay .. it goes like this .. I was shopping for a boat
[04:59:31] <dclarke> and any decent sized boat can not .. and generally is not .. bought all at once
[04:59:45] <dclarke> you need to slap down say $50K on it and then lease it over 30 years
[05:00:00] <dclarke> that way a $500K boat carries for $1200 a month or so
[05:00:20] <dclarke> also .. the resale residual is so damned high that you finance less than half
[05:00:29] <CIA-26> sbehera: 6551356 system panics with "PCI Expansion ROM is not accessible" during hotplug testing on Atlas cards.
[05:00:33] <dclarke> the rate is about the same as a mortgage
[05:00:50] <dclarke> so .. what if a car was built .. extremely efficient motor
[05:01:01] <dclarke> with a 25 year warrantee
[05:01:08] <dclarke> and a 25 year term for a lease
[05:01:20] <dclarke> the car costs about $200K or more
[05:01:29] <dclarke> but carries for about $200 a month
[05:01:56] <dclarke> the objective being to give people a "peoples car" that not only works but comes with a promist to work for a very long long time
[05:02:09] <dclarke> and .. the thing is damned good for the eenvironment ..
[05:02:12] <dclarke> it never rusts
[05:02:16] <CSFrost> though today, a lot of people feel they *need* change.. I know people who go through a car a year.
[05:02:28] <Reidms-420R> Some Mercedes are made in Alabama, USA
[05:02:32] <dclarke> with the exception of some fluids and basic wear-parts you don't have too much service
[05:02:41] <Reidms-420R> I will never buy Mercedes because of that.
[05:03:03] <dclarke> CSFrost :  yes .. there is no way to address the whims of fickle people .. fashionable people
[05:03:07] <dclarke> I say we shoot them
[05:03:20] <CSFrost> Well, you can build things the right way.. but it's in no way the capitalist way.
[05:03:41] <dclarke> true .. I really do feeel that Solaris is UNIX done right
[05:03:46] <CSFrost> People want to build the cheapest possible, for the most profit..
[05:03:50] <dclarke> and UNIX has survived for thirty years
[05:04:06] <dclarke> so .. does that mean that its the best way to go ?  the best operating system for servers ?
[05:04:15] <dclarke> is it good business ?
[05:04:18] <CSFrost> It's the same reason why cars today, get the same fuel economy as cars 30 years ago.
[05:04:26] <dclarke> or do people want windows in a clown suit

[05:04:37] <dclarke> CSFrost :  no way ..
[05:04:57] <dclarke> CSFrost :  my old 1976 Ford F100 truck ( which I still have ) sucks gas at a scary rate
[05:05:21] <CSFrost> so does a dodge viper, or a magnum rt
[05:05:57] <CSFrost> I could find a 70's pontiac that gets 20-25mpg easy enough
[05:06:04] *** sstallion has quit IRC
[05:06:07] <Reidms-420R> CSFrost I have a Chevy from 1970- It gets about 5 MPG(454 cubic inch engine) and I have the same model of Chevy from 1984 which gets about 15 mpg
[05:06:43] <Reidms-420R> So it depends on which cars you claim have the same fuel economy
[05:07:12] <CSFrost> I can get you the mileage chart on a old caddy, I'd say 60's with atleast a 500cu, that gets 19mpg
[05:07:32] <CSFrost> not sure the exact year but it's atleast boat length :-P
[05:07:37] <dclarke> wow .. caddy engines from those days had a lot of grunt
[05:07:38] <Reidms-420R> lol
[05:08:00] <dclarke> caddy 502 wasn't it ?
[05:08:00] <CSFrost> my uncle, he still putts around with that kind of stuff..
[05:08:06] <Reidms-420R> a 454 can beat a 502- depends on driver and factory options(no aftermarket)
[05:08:17] <dclarke> geez .. he's killing the planet
[05:08:18] <CSFrost> picked it up for $200, cause it had no roof (someone chopped it)
[05:08:42] <CSFrost> it is larger then 502 I believe, lemme google it.. the old impala's had 502's I know
[05:09:00] <Reidms-420R> I dont think caddies ever got bigger
[05:09:12] <Reidms-420R> 500cu+ are extremely rare
[05:09:18] * dclarke renames the chan to car-geeks
[05:09:28] <Reidms-420R> lol
[05:09:46] <dclarke> FORD still makes a crate engine that is well over 500 CID
[05:10:03] <dclarke> not exactly a factory option
[05:10:08] <Reidms-420R> I would like to see that at a dealer ship
[05:10:25] <dclarke> hrmm .. must go look up Paxton superchargers .. see if they are still doing good things with FORD
[05:10:35] <Reidms-420R> or dealership (a dealer ship is a starwars type of ship that flys around selling cars)
[05:10:42] <CSFrost> looks like the caddy was 500 exactly
[05:10:43] <CSFrost> how about that
[05:10:54] <dclarke> gee .. I was sure it was 502
[05:10:58] <CSFrost> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_V8_engine
[05:11:03] <Reidms-420R> 502 is chevy dclarke
[05:11:03] <dclarke> must have that mixed up with something else

[05:30:39] <dclarke> that is your vehicle
[05:30:55] <dclarke> back on Solaris/OpenSolaris
[05:31:16] <palowoda> I drive little Suzuki's 4WD now.  With puddy little 4cyl engines that make up the fuel cost.  The idea all goes to hell when I have to fill my 36ft RV tanks up.  150 gallon tank.
[05:31:24] <dclarke> anyone here ever set reserved_procs = XXX in /etc/system ?
[05:36:55] <dclarke> well .. I just killed the conversation .. now didn't I
[05:37:05] <dclarke> worse than a fart in church
[05:37:40] <palowoda> When do you need to set it?
[05:38:00] <dclarke> to enforce reserves procs for uid 0 on a system
[05:38:21] <dclarke> it means that there is always resources avail to the root user if a box gets really really busy
[05:38:42] <dclarke> *               Specifies number of system process slots to be reserved
[05:38:44] <dclarke> *               in the process table for processes with a UID of root (0)
[05:38:52] <dclarke> *               Consider increasing to 10 + normal number of UID 0 (root)
[05:38:54] <dclarke> *               processes on system. This setting provides some cushion
[05:39:05] <dclarke> *               should it be necessary to obtain a root shell during a time
[05:39:06] <dclarke> *               when the system is otherwise unable to create user-level
[05:39:08] <dclarke> *               processes.
[05:39:09] <dclarke> set reserved_procs = 128
[05:39:43] <palowoda> So you have a system that is reaching this condition?
[05:39:45] <dclarke> so .. that's just something I do .. but am not certain its really ever needed
[05:40:07] <dclarke> I have done this to boxes and then subjected them to obscene work loads
[05:40:11] <dclarke> and they stay responsive
[05:40:21] <dclarke> other wise .. near lock up can occur
[05:40:45] <dclarke> in the case of a particular Oracle server .. over time it began to use all avail memory and then swapping actually started
[05:40:54] <dclarke> it could get really ties up in knots
[05:41:01] <dclarke> adding a whack of RAM seems to help
[05:41:14] <dclarke> sorting out really bad database index issues helped even more

[10:19:48] <Tempt> Why are they paying the listing fees? Their feedback shows only ex-lease PC sales.
[10:19:48] <quasi> often it is cheaper to buy machines than parts

[10:20:17] <palowoda> As volumes go down all kinds of games are played in the market.
[10:20:22] <Tempt> and one sucker that paid $AU4500 for a used V240
[10:20:33] <quasi> youch
[10:21:22] <Tempt> And someone else selling a collection of badges pried off the front of old Sun boxes.
[10:21:27] <Tempt> Ebay does make me laugh.
[10:22:08] <palowoda> Ebay is a Sun boneyard.
[10:22:11] <Tempt> Even I would be forced to mock someone wearing an Ultra-2 nameplate as a clothing badge, which seems to be what they're selling them for.
[10:24:32] <Tempt> Not to mention mocking people paying thousands for iPhones
[10:25:00] <palowoda> You get what you pay for.
[10:25:12] <Tempt> Well, perhaps not.
[10:25:27] <Tempt> I don't think paying $AU1500 for a phone will get you $AU1500 worth of phone.

[10:26:42] <palowoda> I'd venture to say the majority of the population think Iphones aren't even worth the value.
[10:26:58] <Tempt> The thing is, you can't even use them in Australia
[10:27:06] <palowoda> Let's be pratical it a phone.
[10:27:11] <Tempt> You need to activate the stinking things with the US telco before you can use any of the features.
[10:27:30] <Tempt> The extremely funny bit is, you can use it as a *phone* without unlocking it with the US carrier, but none of the non-telephone features.
[10:28:07] <palowoda> Here I'll invite everybody on the list to watch a movie on my Iphone tonight.  We can have a party and you can admire the phone.

[10:29:44] <palowoda> The cheap stuff around 500.00 a bottle.
[10:30:41] <Tempt> Port never clicked for me.
[10:30:49] <Tempt> More of a whisky and cognac man.
[10:31:10] <Tempt> (obviously not concurrently)
[10:31:23] <palowoda> Shesh I was in the Wine shop the other day and the guy next to me put down 1400.00 for a bottle of port.  That is insane.
[10:31:58] <Tempt> What does $1400 get you in the port scene?

[10:34:18] <palowoda> I'd don't know, I'm a freeloader.  But it works out to about 40.00 a swallow.
[10:35:00] <palowoda> Great parties good food I guess.
[10:35:37] <Tempt> 40 a hit.
[10:35:39] <Tempt> Hmm
[10:35:40] <Tempt> Bit steep.
[10:35:57] <Tempt> Until a vendor is waving their expense account around.
[10:37:11] <quasi> maybe for a good single malt, but no way for port
[10:37:31] <quasi> it just can't be that good
[10:37:56] <palowoda> You can get good port for 20.00 a bootle but the 100 year old stuff really goes for a price.
[10:38:43] <quasi> but it is still port
[10:39:27] <palowoda> I think Port ages better than any other wine.

[11:08:10] <ofu> but df -h . works even if i am in a subdir of the mountpoint
[11:09:07] <Stric> are you asking about where '.' is a subdirectory in a zfs filesystem or a non-zfs filesystem?
[11:09:27] <ofu> df works in both cases
[11:10:04] <Tpenta> df is a question asked of teh filesystem, not of the directory tree, so you will always get a filesystem based answer in relation to the directory you request
[11:10:27] *** halton has left #opensolaris
[11:10:54] <Stric> ofu: still, my question matters..
[11:11:06] <Stric> are you trying 'zfs get all .' outside or inside zfs?
[11:11:13] <richlowe> zfs get should work as zfs list does.
[11:11:14] <richlowe> file an RFE.
[11:11:49] <richlowe> them behaving differently in that regard doesn't seem like anything that could have sound reasoning behind it.
[11:13:39] <richlowe> (the change to make zfs list accept a pathname is fairly recent, though.)
[11:15:17] *** Vanuatoo has quit IRC
[11:16:45] <richlowe> (though list needs a full path, most specifically, to avoid conflicts between dataset names and path names)

[12:01:43] <richlowe> http://opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/policies/install-locations/
[12:02:03] <boyd> The general idea seems to be that if it's not expected to be directly invoked (e.g. run by something else) then it should be in /usr/lib
[12:02:09] <richlowe> though given that references IA64, it may have been updated since whichever version that is.
[12:04:07] <richlowe> and I really dislike the panel applets that land in /usr/lib
[12:04:19] <richlowe> there must be some convention with a little less spray than that.
[12:07:01] <aruiz> timsf, and apocd in /usr/lib/apoc

[18:12:31] <newpers> Tempt: thanks
[18:12:52] <newpers> i wonder how it compares
[18:12:57] <Tempt> Favourably.
[18:13:01] <newpers> heh :)
[18:13:10] <CSFrost> Instead of asking, it might be wiser to just try it and compare?
[18:13:16] <nahamu> make sure to ask in a redhat room too for a balanced opinion. ;)
[18:13:18] <newpers> that would take a lot of effort
[18:13:31] <CSFrost> no, it would take an effort
[18:14:01] <CSFrost> a lot of effort would be to recreate the eiffel tower out of mac and cheese - to scale.
[18:14:22] <Tempt> Sun Cluster is pretty easy to set up to play with

[18:17:21] <sfire||mouse> heh
[18:17:52] <CSFrost> Tempt, well could always get a Hammock, and then move just to have a place for the hammock.
[18:18:13] <Tempt> I want it under trees though, not on a stand
[18:18:18] <Tempt> That makes selection even harder.
[18:18:39] <CSFrost> I'm just gonna end up claiming some palms out on the beach
[18:18:49] <timsf> nahamu, what do you need to know about zfs boot ?
[18:19:53] <Tempt> CSFrost: Argh! You bastard!
[18:20:03] <nahamu> I can't figure out how it works.
[18:20:07] <Tempt> CSFrost: Stop taunting me with your visions of heavenly relaxation
[18:20:17] <timsf> go on ?
[18:20:24] <nahamu> I have a Nexenta system that I wanted to add another boot option to and I can't figure out how it finds files.
[18:20:28] <CSFrost> Tempt, well I am sure there are other palms on the beach you can have.. no need to get ruffled up!
[18:20:33] *** yongsun has joined #opensolaris
[18:20:42] <timsf> Hmm, I've not tried nexenta
[18:20:54] <nahamu> I think the boot code is pretty normal solaris
[18:21:08] <timsf> but if it's the same as nevada, then there's a root pool, that contains the grub menu list file,
[18:21:09] <nahamu> I love your blog, by the way
[18:21:19] <Tempt> CSFrost: hammock + esky + wireless = why move?
[18:21:24] <timsf> thanks - keeps me off the streets
[18:21:48] <nahamu> I'm using the autosnapshot service too (on a Solaris 10 box)
[18:21:49] <timsf> Yep, there was a zfs plugin to grub that allows it to read (basic) zfs pools
[18:21:54] <CSFrost> Tempt, well, battery life is limited..
[18:21:55] <timsf> Nifty
[18:22:08] <nahamu> well, for some value of read
[18:22:13] <Tempt> CSFrost: Well, that esky would be heavy, so put it on wheels
[18:22:21] <Tempt> CSFrost: and drop a big 12V lead acid battery on top
[18:22:31] <nahamu> it doesn't seem to do autocompletion like it does for a linux filesystem
[18:22:40] <timsf> yeah - enough to get to the menu.lst file
[18:22:52] <nahamu> right, but what happens after that?
[18:22:53] <CSFrost> Tempt, probably some law or regulation breaking by that point.. lead acid battery on the beach :-P
[18:23:11] <Tempt> Seal lead acid.
[18:23:26] <nahamu> I wanted to take a kernel and miniroot that I had on a rescue CD and drop them onto the disk so that I wouldn't have to hunt for a CD later
[18:23:33] <nahamu> but I can't figure out how to boot them
[18:23:56] <vmlemon> Or you could get a motorhome/caravan, and pull the hammock out when you need it
[18:24:17] <timsf> Hmm. So they're on a zfs filesystem ?
[18:24:21] <nahamu> yeah
[18:24:29] <timsf> have you used the bootfs grub keyword ?
[18:24:31] <nahamu> but so is the normal kernel that the system uses
[18:24:36] <CSFrost> vmlemon, nope nope.. I am going to just be a big bum.. I already stopped shaving
[18:24:49] <nahamu> I don't want to boot off a different ZFS filesystem though
[18:24:50] <vmlemon> Aha, I see
[18:25:02] <CSFrost> vmlemon, hammock can hold 700lbs so I have some more weight I can put on as well
[18:25:20] <nahamu> I want to boot a tiny environment that near as I can tell is encapsulated in a kernel and ~35mb miniroot file
[18:25:57] <Tempt> CSFrost: Actually, you just need solar panels for the laptop.
[18:26:00] <timsf> Gotcha. I believe (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the kernel needs to be in the correct directory structure
[18:26:07] <CSFrost> tempt, also started writting up some paperwork and what not.. have to start hunting for board members, just been a bit lazy since I left work.
[18:26:10] <timsf> /platform/i86pc/kernel/
[18:26:16] <nahamu> that was a hunch I was developing.
[18:26:30] <timsf>  - I remmeber trying to put it in / and that didn't work at all.
[18:26:52] <timsf> 'course you could just snapshot & clone your existing environment, and drop your changes in there

[18:27:49] *** Dar has joined #opensolaris
[18:28:27] <nahamu> timsf: any idea if the miniroot needs a particular name in a particular directory?
[18:28:57] <timsf> Nope, it can be anything I think - I've booted miniroots via tftp in all sorts of weird places.
[18:29:48] <Tempt> vmlemon: Yes.
[18:29:58] <Tempt> vmlemon: Solaris doesn't require any prep on a swap partition, so it should be fine.
[18:29:59] <tsoome1> vmlemon: if linux can safely find it;)
[18:30:13] <nahamu> timsf: one a pxe booted system or one that booted from disk?
[18:30:14] <vmlemon> Planning on setting up a Linux and Solaris dual-boot, with my home directory stored on my larger HDD formatted in UDF
[18:30:16] <nahamu> *on
[18:30:39] <CSFrost> tempt, though linux would have to dig through the ufs or zfs partition to find it, correct?
[18:30:48] <Tempt> Hmmm
[18:30:54] <timsf> Grub came up from disk, then read the miniroot via tftp.
[18:30:57] <Tempt> You could put it on a seperate PC style partition instead of a slice.
[18:31:16] <nahamu> I'd love to see the menu.lst entries that do that.
[18:31:32] <timsf> not complex:
[18:31:34] <timsf> root (nd)
[18:31:37] <nahamu> did it pull the kernel over tftp too?
[18:31:44] <timsf> tftpserver <ip addr>
[18:31:48] <timsf> kernel blah bla
[18:31:49] <vmlemon> I'm guessing that the MBR would contain a Linux partition, the Solaris "container" partition, and the Linux swap in a partition
[18:31:51] <timsf> module bla bla
[18:31:53] <CSFrost> Does Solaris require swap be mounted on a filesystem?
[18:31:58] <timsf> yep.
[18:32:05] <nahamu> that might be the best workaround for me.
[18:32:11] <vmlemon> I've used a swap file on Solaris, with no ill effect
[18:32:21] <nahamu> I still want to learn how to get this to work solely from disk though.

[18:38:36] <yongsun> PerterB, thank you very much, how about the recent nevada x86 builds?
[18:38:40] <PerterB> "special" seemed a bit cruel :)
[18:38:54] <pfn> x86 is trivial, grub -> kernel -> boot_archive -> mount root
[18:39:00] <WOP> hey does solaris containers and VMware compliment eachother or is there no reason to use VMware at all?
[18:39:03] <pfn> the magic is all inside that damn boot_archive
[18:39:17] <pfn> does solaris run vmware?
[18:39:25] <cmihai> No.
[18:39:26] <twincest> WOP: there is no point to use vmware if you only need solaris VMs
[18:39:28] <cmihai> qemu
[18:39:33] <twincest> WOP: vmware can run other OSs than solaris
[18:40:11] <WOP> solaris can only run other installations of solaris? i was underthe impression that solaris can install other ones..
[18:40:12] <WOP> guess not
[18:40:15] <WOP> :o
[18:40:22] <twincest> WOP: nevada some some support for linux zones
[18:40:32] <pfn> zones sounds like jail/chroot on steroids
[18:40:37] <twincest> pfn: yes
[18:40:38] <pfn> not full blown VMs
[18:40:55] <pfn> if you want VMs, you need something like vmware, qemu, etc.
[18:40:57] <twincest> but the effect is basically a vm.  each zone is a complete solaris install
[18:41:09] <PerterB> pfn: well, it only recently changed from grub -> multiboot -> kernel to grub -> kernel
[18:41:10] <twincest> (although in some cases packages are shared from the global)
[18:41:11] <yongsun> pfn, boot_archive just contains the required kernel modules?
[18:41:27] <pfn> yongsun, and configuration to specify the location of the root device
[18:41:41] <pfn> PerterB, so I've heard
[18:41:47] <pfn> the kernel now implements the multiboot header eh
[18:42:03] <pfn> speaking of multiboot, I've heard it's a specification, but defined by whom?
[18:42:15] <yongsun> pfn, what's the usage of /boot/platform/i86pc/kernel/unix in the grub menu list?
[18:42:16] *** peteh has quit IRC
[18:42:20] <pfn> grub docs didn't seem to mention
[18:42:23] <pfn> yongsun, it's the kernel  :p
[18:42:59] <twincest> "unix" contains the most platform specific parts of the kernel - the rest is in genunix
[18:44:49] <yongsun> pfn, may I say that the grub in solaris understands ufs, and it loads the "unix" kernel, as well as the boot_archive, then the startup scripts in boot_archive mount the root file system, and starts the init scripts?
[18:45:32] <pfn> yongsun, sounds about right
[18:45:39] <yongsun> twincest, pfn, is the genunix in boot_archive?
[18:46:10] <yongsun> pfn, then if we want the zfs boot, the grub needs to understand zfs?
[18:46:33] <pfn> yongsun, solaris grub is patched to support zfs
[18:47:07] <yongsun> pfn, I see, thank you very much! ;)

[20:00:53] *** Snake007uk has quit IRC
[20:01:00] <pfn> kerberos is a ticket agent
[20:01:12] <nrubsig> pfn: the while point is about _secure_ authnetification to services.
[20:01:16] <pfn> you give your password to a central krb5 server, it gives you a ticket (for a limited time) saying you are who you are
[20:01:17] <nrubsig> s/while/whole/
[20:01:50] * nrubsig still circles stevel while purring...
[20:01:51] <pfn> you can use that ticket to access network services (telnet, ftp, nfs, etc.) without having to re-enter your password, until said ticket expires
[20:02:10] <beholder> pfn: Ahh sorta like the ssh agents
[20:02:11] <pfn> nrubsig, the problem is having services that take advantage of the features that kerberos provides
[20:02:19] <pfn> beholder, yes, but ssh agents only apply to... ssh
[20:02:39] <nrubsig> pfn: Well, NFS and Unix login services work with Krb5.
[20:03:05] <pfn> nrubsig, I usually use ssh keys, so that nixes the latter part
[20:03:09] <Stric> pfn: It also avoids having an /etc/shadow on partly untrusted client machines
[20:03:11] <pfn> the only use is with nfs, and afs
[20:03:33] <pfn> stric that's avoided by any centralized authentication system
[20:03:51] <pfn> what I don't recall, is whether your password is exchanged directly with the tgt, or if it passes through the untrusted host
[20:04:05] <pfn> if your password goes through the untrusted host, you're even worse off than having an /etc/shadow

[22:31:15] <Stric> "often" != "always"
[22:31:18] <gdamore> unless i could demonstrate his mother was unfit somehow, i couldn't get it.
[22:31:46] <fortytwo_> hi, just one quick question: Is there any way to enable some verbose mode or similar when installing the latest sxce?
[22:31:48] <e^ipi> yes, obviously i don't mean in all cases
[22:31:49] <gdamore> i think fathers get custody "frequently" only when the mother doesn't care or is unfit.
[22:31:50] <pfn> heh, my mom was completely unfit (schizo) and the court awarded me to her...
[22:32:08] <pfn> until social workers came and took me away from her...
[22:32:13] <oninoshiko> gdamore : that seems to be the standard. unless the woman is unfit/unwilling the court default custody
[22:32:25] <gdamore> right.  particularly for younger children.
[22:32:43] <fortytwo_> grub bootloader shows up fine, and then it loads for a while. Then it freezes with the SunOS copyright text
[22:32:51] <oninoshiko> ofcourse sometimes you have to wonder what it takes to be "unfit"
[22:32:53] <gdamore> when the parents live close together, the court may award joint custody.  that seems to be popular.
[22:32:58] <pfn> fortytwo_, add -v to boot parameter
[22:33:15] <fortytwo_> pfn: thanks
[22:33:28] <EchoBinary> oninoshiko: i went to the cooperative co-parenting workshops. they still allow visitation to crack addicted parents as long as the parent is in a program
[22:33:31] <gdamore> but i live too far from my ex-wife for my son to still be in the same school district, so i got joint legal, but only visitation rights for physical custody
[22:33:49] <oninoshiko> visitation is not the same as custody
[22:34:24] <gdamore> on another topic, is anyone else bothered by the assumption that 200k == zero cost that some folks seem to have?
[22:34:33] <oninoshiko> gdamore : i think that is popular for amicable devorcies
[22:34:34] <pfn> ?
[22:34:39] <pfn> 200k == zero cost?  huh?
[22:34:41] <EchoBinary> yes, but the custody is near the same, as long as the parent isnt endangering the child physically and is seeking recovery - there is little they will do. i asked. mental damage is hard to prove in that sense
[22:34:47] <gdamore> 200kB.
[22:34:58] <pfn> zero cost for what?
[22:35:17] <gdamore> i was complaining about /usr/gnu/bin/true and a few other utilities like that, which offer  *nothing* (except for --version and --help) over the Solaris counterparts
[22:35:30] *** Sieghard has joined #opensolaris
[22:35:33] <pfn> /usr/sfw/bin/true is 200kb???
[22:35:34] <pfn> wtf
[22:35:41] *** bengtf has quit IRC
[22:35:42] <oninoshiko> lol
[22:36:00] <Stric> how'd you manage that? gnu true on linux is like 10k
[22:36:00] <gdamore> no, but there was a collection of other utilities which added up that way.  (similiar to /bin/true in that no difference against solaris)
[22:36:11] <oninoshiko> well they have to have both a return() AND a exit()
[22:36:25] <pfn> [pfnguyen@ares ~]$ ls -l /bin/true
[22:36:52] <gdamore> on my system, /bin/true is 7K, but /usr/gnu/bin/true is 15K.
[22:37:09] <gdamore> this shows up for /usr/bin/yes, /usr/bin/logname, /usr/bin/pwd, etc.
[22:37:19] <pfn> anyway, 200kb of disk space is pretty un-noteworthy
[22:37:20] <gdamore> the gnu versions are all quite a bit bigger (usually 2-3x)
[22:37:26] <pfn> if you were still using floppies
[22:37:30] <pfn> it'd be a concern
[22:37:34] <pfn> gnu bloat
[22:37:40] <gdamore> right. gnu bloat.
[22:37:47] <pfn> I mean, you know gnu's bloated when helloworld = 200kb
[22:38:01] <gdamore> by itself 200k is not terrible.  but add it up to all the other bloat in the system.  this was low hanging fruit.
[22:39:12] <SYS64738> isnt the findutils installed by default in full install ?
[22:39:19] *** wraith has quit IRC
[22:39:22] <pfn> I had to move /usr/jdk and /usr/sfw to /export/home... / ran out of space  :(
[22:39:23] <gdamore> i just thought the addition of these utilities to the default install, when they add *zero* benefit to what is in /usr/bin, was pretty cavalier....
[22:39:34] <pfn> gdamore, it's not in the core install  :p
[22:39:44] <gdamore> yeah, but core install is not useful.
[22:39:46] <Stric> gdamore: isn't it because entire gnu coreutils was added?
[22:39:52] <pfn> gdamore, it's useful to me  :p
[22:39:55] <gdamore> Stric: yes.
[22:40:07] <pfn> I've got ssh, nfs, samba, java and zfs
[22:40:10] <pfn> what more do I need?
[22:40:18] <gdamore> i need /usr/ccs/make for one.
[22:40:19] <oninoshiko> a beer?
[22:40:28] * oninoshiko needs a beer.
[22:40:31] <pfn> gdamore, oh, and I installed the gnu toolchain...
[22:40:40] <pfn> so install core + ccs
[22:40:45] <palowoda> gdamore:  What would you like to happen.  Remove them altoghter?
[22:41:04] <gdamore> not all of coreutils, but why not prune out the stuff that is identical to what we offer already.
[22:41:18] <gdamore> coreutils is mostly intended for systems *without* core utilities. :-)
[22:41:31] <palowoda> Won't happen, makes too much work.  No rules apply.
[22:41:38] <oninoshiko> well i do have to agree with gdamore that there does not need to be a "gnuified" version of true and false
[22:41:44] <Stric> maybe to have a consistent system.. that --help/--version works on everything..
[22:41:53] <pfn> hmm, can I do lofi over nfs?
[22:42:03] <gdamore> okay, i give up.  nobody else cares about bloat.  only me. :-(

[22:42:23] <twincest> gdamore: i think it's idiotic but not worth arguing about
[22:42:40] <palowoda> It's not the bloat.  It's that thier is no process to deal with the bloat that works.
[22:42:42] <pfn> wtf, now it worked...
[22:42:56] <gdamore> individually its idiotic.  but consider it a straw on the camels back.
[22:42:59] <Stric> gdamore: I care about bloat, but not removing like 40k.. that's not worth it on a multi-gigabyte install
[22:42:59] <oninoshiko> how meany version of "true" can their be? i mean you cant screw it up! its easier then "hello world!" and how much help can you get?
[22:43:10] <gdamore> if we could remove 200k from a lot of different places, the systems would be a lot less bloated.
[22:43:27] <Stric> oninoshiko: and on that subject; /bin/false from solaris 9: #ident  " at (#)false dot sh   1.6     93/01/11 SMI"   /* SVr4.0 1.3   */
[22:43:36] <palowoda> Submit a bloat RFE and see what happens.
[22:43:37] <Stric> oninoshiko: how can you have v1.6 of "exit 255" ?
[22:43:41] *** lee6 has joined #opensolaris
[22:43:46] *** sfire||mouse has quit IRC
[22:43:47] <gdamore> palowoda: it will get ignored.
[22:43:56] <palowoda> exactly.
[22:44:01] <pfn> why not just nuke all of gnu coreutils?
[22:44:03] <gdamore> because somehow being GNUified is more important to people than having systems that are efficient.
[22:44:20] <gdamore> apparently some of the utils have different command line switches.
[22:44:21] <Stric> I'd rather have me being efficient than saving 40k
[22:44:25] <twincest> gdamore: to clarify, i mean that shipping /usr/gnu/bin/true is idiotic
[22:44:28] <oninoshiko> i know! its mind blowing... well one of them is the twit that thinks main needs to both return and exit
[22:44:34] <vmlemon> What advantage do the GNUtils actually have over the Solaris counterparts, since the Solaris versions also have source code available?
[22:44:52] <pfn> vmlemon, people from linux are familiar with the gnu utils
[22:44:57] <tsoome1> gnu utils support --help :P
[22:44:58] <gdamore> vmlemon: none, except people are moving from linux.
[22:45:05] <pfn> vmlemon, gnu tends to follow bsd conventions while solaris follows svr4
[22:45:06] <twincest> vmlemon: coloured ls!!!
[22:45:16] <Stric> there are lots of additional features which people actually use and like
[22:45:18] <pfn> twincest, solaris doesn't have gnu fileutils, thus, no colorls
[22:45:20] <palowoda> Oh God color ls again.
[22:45:22] * pfn wants color ls...
[22:45:27] * stevel likes color ls
[22:45:32] * Stric likes color ls
[22:45:33] <twincest> pfn: fileutils is part of coreutils
[22:45:33] <gdamore> i never said we shouldn't have gnu ls for example.  but we don't need gnu "true", "logname", "hostid", etc.
[22:45:47] <oninoshiko> : does like colour ls too
[22:45:48] * vmlemon also likes coloured ls
[22:45:49] <noyb> let's go crazy and think that we're going to remove 200k from 100 items...  That seems like a lot of work, and it would buy us 20MB.  Whoopdy ** do.
[22:45:52] <palowoda> Than make the svr4 ls colors capable
[22:45:55] <gdamore> because apart from --help and --version, those utilities offer *zero* functionality that is *different* from Solaris.
[22:45:55] *** lee6 has quit IRC
[22:45:59] <twincest> (i don't use coloured ls though, ls -F is enough for me)
[22:46:10] <pfn> I installed gnu fileutils on sunos4 all the time
[22:46:26] <gdamore> noyb: that 20MB might be very significant to some users.  it would have saved me a world of pain a couple of days ago.
[22:46:31] <EchoBinary> i colored my ls once, but my mom made me wash it off
[22:46:41] <oninoshiko> o.0?
[22:46:42] <noyb> gdamore: agreed.
[22:46:55] <gdamore> someday it may make the difference between a single DVD install and a multi DVD install.
[22:47:29] <gdamore> never mind the fact that systems working set by having two different utilities that do the same thing takes a hit.
[22:47:46] <EchoBinary> gdamore: you get what you pay for? :)
[22:47:52] <gdamore> i admit that this is all small potatoes.  but add enough small potatoes together, and it starts to add up.
[22:47:53] <palowoda> gdamore: How do you determine the importance of owners of small drives?
[22:48:06] <noyb> gdamore: and it might be nice to have some mechanism to manage what goes into the system install for such users. And a simple checkbox for the rest of us that just want everything.
[22:48:07] <gdamore> the drives we have today will one day be small.
[22:48:08] <pfn> hmm, which package includes 'cc' ?
[22:48:27] <oninoshiko> YOU GET POTATO SOUP!!!
[22:48:30] <vmlemon> The GNU file does seem to have a larger, more concise database of file types and Magic No.s than the Solaris one
[22:48:58] <gdamore> i'm all for having the GNU versions available when they offer enhancements or ease-of-use improvements to users coming from linux.
[22:48:59] <tsoome1> then upgrade the /etc/magic
[22:49:01] <twincest> vmlemon: so merge the gnu magic into solaris
[22:49:07] <palowoda> Potato soup and bacon sounds kind of good right now.
[22:49:22] <oninoshiko> yeah... doesnt it?
[22:49:29] <oninoshiko> with a creamy sause
[22:49:34] <gdamore> today i don't do all that much that is different from what I did 15 years ago... apart from this IRC client that is.
[22:49:35] <oninoshiko> mmmm
[22:49:44] <palowoda> Crap now I'm hungry.
[22:49:51] <gdamore> yet 15 years ago my system was zippy and useful... on a 50MHz 486 with 32 MB RAM.

[22:52:24] <gdamore> heh.  i tried recently to run a 700MHz Celeron.
[22:52:37] <gdamore> and only about a year ago I ran Solaris on a 133MHz Pentium.
[22:52:38] <palowoda> The good old days.
[22:53:15] <fortytwo_> ah, installation froze when a usb thumbdrive was plugged in
[22:53:50] <gdamore> now, i'm having trouble because my older 700MHz won't run with only a 4G drive.  (I need 2G free for the NIC test suites I need to run.)
[22:53:51] <fortytwo_> now it works fine.
[22:53:51] <vmlemon> You should try FreeBSD on an Acer laptop - plug in a USB keyboard, unplug it and then reconnect it, and the whole box crashes
[22:53:59] <gdamore> 20MB is 1% of that drive space. ;-)
