[01:05:47] <noyb> anyone successfully sharing printers from solaris with ipp ?  I need some help with the config file.  This url seems messed up: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/features/articles/using_ipp.jsp right after "Here is an annotated example"
[01:12:56] <delewis> anyone know when mediaLib will be completely opened?
[01:18:05] <alanc> it's not already?
[01:18:14] <alanc> thought they already hade...
[01:18:16] <alanc> had even
[01:18:27] <delewis> just the pure C version.
[01:18:32] <delewis> none of the inline SSE and VIS code.
[01:18:47] <alanc> oh
[01:18:53] <delewis> I was wanting to fix the inaccuracies in the SPARC VIS idct, but that isn't there yet.
[01:19:39] <delewis> alanc, know where I could get an older release of dcmtool from? (the only version that's available is 0.9 and it only supports the XVR-600/1200/2500 -- not the XVR-1000, which is what I have)

[02:16:32] <alanc> opensolaris.org's webapp is being very slow at saving changes to web pages
[02:16:50] <alanc> but I think stevel isn't back from OSCON to harass yet
[02:16:55] <richlowe> alanc: try derek.
[02:17:21] <alanc> ah, my update to http://opensolaris.org/os/community/x_win/changelogs/changelogs-nv_70/ finally saved - nv_70 X changelog now posted
[02:17:22] <cmn_err> http://tinyurl.com/2fx9eu

[02:17:52] *** root___ has quit IRC
[02:18:15] <alanc> people seem to like seeing what goes into the builds though
[02:18:24] <alanc> not that many others bother...
[02:18:30] <richlowe> alanc: are uploads of html pages faster?
[02:18:39] <richlowe> (if you want a more webapp-free workaround)
[02:18:44] <richlowe> attaching them, that is, or whatever term the app uses.
[02:19:20] <richlowe> alanc: also, of the open consolidations, I think only sfwnv doesn't publish putback logs or similar.
[02:19:21] <alanc> not sure
[02:19:24] <richlowe> CCD, probably.
[02:19:55] <alanc> at least when Marilyn was posting new SFW code drops, she'd include the bug list in her announcement e-mails I thought
[02:20:05] <alanc> don't remember if that's happening while she's gone
[02:20:59] <alanc> "6569508 Mesa 3D driver for Intel 965" is probably most interesting in our nv_70 changes
[02:23:15] <nachox> remember you can always blame gman :)
[02:24:02] <alanc> I was already blaming Gman for something else, but I don't remember what now

[02:24:27] <alanc> spent too much time baking in the sun drinking beer this afternoon - brain is already gone
[02:24:55] <alanc> so I'll do the Xorg 1.3 putback now!
[02:24:58] <alanc> bwahahaha!
[02:25:32] <nachox> what nevada should we avoid? :P
[02:26:01] <alanc> well, all the Xorg ARC cases I filed this week are piling into nv_71...
[02:26:44] <alanc> but I still have to finish merging with the current master and then doing a final test build before putback, so will just start that build tonight and do the real putback Monday morning when fully sober
[02:27:06] <richlowe> and, like, other testing, I hope.
[02:27:25] <alanc> other testing?
[02:27:50] <richlowe> what you typed implied the build as pretty much all the testing involved.
[02:28:43] <nachox> it did?
[02:28:48] <alanc> oh, that build will be installed and run
[02:28:56] <richlowe> nachox: I read it that way.
[02:29:48] <nachox> richlowe, i thought he meant he was too drunk to make something usefull from this putback and therefore we should avoid all the affected nevadas :)
[02:30:03] <alanc> it was only 2 beers!
[02:30:22] <richlowe> alanc: for all we know, you're a lightweight.
[02:30:28] *** Mazon is now known as mazon
[02:30:45] <alanc> my weight is definitely NOT light
[02:31:04] <richlowe> you could be typing in between singing crude songs, and puking on things.
[02:31:25] <nachox> thanks richlowe i was about to eat dinner
[02:31:41] <nachox> i REALLY needed to hear that
[02:33:38] <richlowe> I couldn't come up with a more visual and obvious description of drunkenness.
[02:34:49] *** palowoda has joined #opensolaris
[02:39:31] <bda> richlowe: Think you're hilarious. But you're not. Thinking you're attractive to everyone of your sexual orientation. But you're not. Changing your sexual orientation just enough to make everyone around you weirded out.
[02:39:34] <bda> richlowe: Thinking you can sing. But you can't.
[02:39:35] <bda> ;D
[02:45:40] *** jamesd_ has joined #opensolaris
[02:47:11] <alanc> well, it's now been 2 hours since my last beer, so I'm driving home
[02:47:34] <alanc> though my judgement may still be impaired, since I'm taking the mercurial manual home to read over the weekend
[02:48:11] <alanc> see you all monday
[02:48:14] *** alanc is now known as alanc-away
[02:48:43] <bda> haha
[02:50:16] <richlowe> bda: that's a rather verbose description of it though.
[02:50:27] <richlowe> and either singing or puking will be involved eventually, either way
[02:50:38] <bda> Fair enough.

[03:03:24] <bda> Man, the time to buy one of those things was during the 20th year anniversary sale. :<
[03:03:45] <delewis> that was the price during the 25th anniversary sale.
[03:04:23] <_mary_kate_> so the page is wrong?

[03:19:01] <blueandwhiteg3> I just (physically) moved a member of a raid-z from c7t1d0 to c4d0 now solaris isn't finding it
[03:19:10] <blueandwhiteg3> How do I reconnect it?
[03:20:26] <blueandwhiteg3> It's physically there and solaris sees the drive, solaris just isn't realizing that i moved the drive and lists c7t1d0 as offline

[03:26:36] <dennis> blueandwhiteg3: yes, you're right. i just did not read the complete line, damn late, will better sleep now ;)
[03:26:38] <blueandwhiteg3> I want to just remap it so that the zpool points to c4d0 instead of c7t1d0
[03:26:47] <blueandwhiteg3> It seem simple
[03:27:14] <blueandwhiteg3> Previously when I moved around with integrated SATA it automagically detected it
[03:27:22] <blueandwhiteg3> Now I used an add-on card
[03:28:06] <BatonT> blueandwhiteg3: i had same issue yesterday... couldnt work it out :(
[03:28:17] <blueandwhiteg3> Isn't there a command?
[03:28:20] <blueandwhiteg3> I tried adding
[03:28:21] <blueandwhiteg3> no luck
[03:29:42] <blueandwhiteg3> I could rebuild, but that would be stupid!
[03:29:52] <BatonT> blueandwhiteg3: thats what i had to do :(
[03:29:53] <sommerfeld> zpool export /zpool import should work
[03:30:25] <sommerfeld> i suspect the device id of the disk changed when it moved from controller to controller..
[03:30:30] <blueandwhiteg3> ah ha
[03:30:55] <blueandwhiteg3> sommerfeld: why would the device id change? previously moving c4d0 -> c5d0, etc worked.
[03:31:02] <blueandwhiteg3> That did the trick

[03:40:38] <sommerfeld> I think you may be moving between "native sata" and "ata emulation" or vice versa
[03:41:00] <sommerfeld> and the somewhat different driver frameworks may be generating different device ids

[06:05:03] <_mary_kate_> its also unsupported
[06:05:17] <richlowe> DE is in theory supported, somehow.
[06:05:20] <richlowe> my guess is "Badly"

[07:08:22] *** eboutilier has joined #opensolaris
[07:09:22] <richlowe> For the most part, what Doc said.
[07:09:41] <richlowe> or you ask an employee to fix the bug to not do that crap
[07:09:57] <Doc> probably easier to get a job with sun than to do that :)
[07:10:04] <nnode> if i want to fix the bug, how can i do without knowing the details?
[07:10:13] <Doc> what's the bug number?
[07:10:38] <Doc> i've applied for a job as a part-time janitor at sun, just so i can get access to internal sunsolve
[07:10:56] <nnode> #5065780
[07:11:37] <nnode> that means, unless i am in touch with SUN i can't get those details?
[07:11:39] <richlowe> Oh, that one is just fucking apalling.

[07:12:17] *** slowhog has left #opensolaris
[07:12:28] *** blueandwhiteg3 has joined #opensolaris
[07:13:03] <Doc> yah.. that is fairly broken
[07:13:28] <Doc> although the description should be enough to work out what's going on anyway
[07:13:37] <Doc> just look for ENOENT in the source
[07:14:39] <nnode> Doc: ya, will look into the code. but still there are lot of other bugs also with 'see comments' that i came across while searching oss-bite-size bugs.
[07:15:15] <Doc> in this case it's because it's an old bug - it was a fairly common thing for ppl to do pre opensolaris
[07:15:18] * richlowe loses faith in humanity
[07:15:22] *** libkeiser has joined #opensolaris
[07:15:38] <richlowe> Doc: Yeah, but tagging them bite-size without fixing them should be pretty clearly wrong to anyone and everyone.
[07:15:53] <Doc> based on the descrption it's possible that this could actually be one of those "possibly a DoS" style bugs, in which case it would be deliberate to put the details into the comments to hide them from the general public
[07:15:54] <blueandwhiteg3> How do I see total cpu usage, or idle cpu usage? prstat doesn't show stuff being eaten up by the kernel (i assume, raid-z/zfs/etc)
[07:16:08] <Doc> rich: odds are someone just didn't notice/didnt think of it
[07:17:05] <nnode> so, any bugs filed now a days are listed with proper comments!. right.
[07:17:14] <richlowe> In theory.
[07:17:19] <Doc> most are, yes
[07:17:26] <richlowe> we now have a nag script that automatically yells at people who don't, too.
[07:17:29] <Doc> unless the comments need to be kept private for some reason
[07:17:32] <richlowe> for the most part, they listen to it.
[07:17:42] <richlowe> Doc: it's not a matter of that.
[07:17:47] <Doc> eg, for that bug you listed the description might have customer details in it (eg, parts of a passwd file)
[07:17:55] <richlowe> Doc: there's a very, very limited number of cases where *everything* is so confidential that you can't say anything at all in description.
[07:18:14] <Doc> rich: agreed, but it's not uncommon to have half in each
[07:18:23] <richlowe> Yeah, that's fine though.
[07:18:37] <richlowe> either the description gives a good enough hint, or says enough to realize it's either boring or unfixable.
[07:19:08] <nnode> do sun have any plan of getting all commnets back to public for all old bugs ?
[07:19:19] <richlowe> that would be a monumental amount of effort.
[07:19:21] <richlowe> so no.
[07:20:06] <richlowe> that'd be at least 20,534 bugs to fix
[07:20:16] <nnode> my God. ;)
[07:20:25] <richlowe> (where 'fix' == 'use a useful description')

[07:22:15] <richlowe> there're innumerable reasons that b.o.o sucks.
[07:22:26] <richlowe> it's a matter of fixing or (more likely) replacing it.

[07:24:36] <nnode> i am trying to map with bugzilla interface with opensolaris.
[07:25:00] <nnode> why can't sun have that kind of interface where one's updation is public to all.
[07:26:17] <nnode> see, ultimately the flexibility has to be given to the developers those are eager to fix. But the flexibility provided here doesn't look like bring mass to opensolaris community to fixing bugs.
[07:27:27] *** ShadowHntr has quit IRC
[07:28:42] <richlowe> as I said, b.o.o is absolutely awful, and everyone knows it. :)
[07:29:19] <richlowe> part of the problem is that the database it operates over (a read-only, partial, copy of), is used for every product Sun have, so fairly large amounts of the data is inherently not public.
[07:29:34] <richlowe> part is that with old bugs, at least some contain information that really is confidential.

[08:12:12] *** Mdx4 has quit IRC
[08:19:04] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: you can use vmstat to see total idle CPU time. Why was that value important?
[08:19:14] *** Gman has quit IRC
[08:20:23] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: Thanks. Not quite as nice a fluid prstat or top, but I guess it will do...
[08:20:34] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: it matters because zfs/raid-z stuffs are not shown in prstat
[08:21:49] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: it depends - they can be shown in prstat, but not in an obvious way
[08:21:49] <blueandwhiteg3> especially if using compression, the cpu usage can be very considerable
[08:21:59] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: oh, how are they shown?
[08:22:34] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: given a few minutes I'd check it out; but my guesses beforehand would be:
[08:22:47] <brendang> compression/zfs overhead during reads are shown by the SYS column of prstat -m
[08:23:03] <brendang> compression/zfs overhead during writes won't be shown by prstat at all.
[08:23:31] <brendang> I'd need to check this out using DTrace.
[08:23:48] <brendang> and there are possible edge cases.
[08:23:51] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: yeah, that's the issue... writes
[08:24:08] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: cool.
[08:24:09] *** Gman has joined #opensolaris
[08:24:20] <blueandwhiteg3> when you are getting >100 MB/sec, the cpu usage can become something to consider
[08:25:00] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: I'm glad you have noticed this problem; I think that prstat/top can be misleading regarding "total" CPU usage - since it is really process CPU usage.
[08:25:30] <richlowe> and even then, it sometimes misses.
[08:25:32] <blueandwhiteg3> yes, it is rather annoying, coming from other OSes
[08:25:45] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: yes. I took a look at ZFS compression overhead a number of months ago using DTrace - but can't remember what I did now
[08:25:47] <blueandwhiteg3> I'd really like a simple activity monitor setup that gives me total cpu, I/O, etc
[08:26:17] <blueandwhiteg3> I never realized how much I used such tools to optimize regular usage until i visited solaris where they were not so familiar / easily accessed
[08:26:18] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: writing such a tool has been on my todo list for years. I've been calling it the "Grand Unified CPU Usage Tool"
[08:26:27] <richlowe> needs a better acronym.
[08:26:32] <brendang> yup
[08:26:39] <dlg> gusset
[08:26:58] <richlowe> Hrm, pronounced that way, my opinion changes.
[08:27:51] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: so, to get a rough sampled idea of where the kernel is spending time, use: dtrace -n 'profile-1234 { @[stack()] = count(); }'
[08:28:10] <kito> crap, is there not any workaround for #6577516?
[08:28:23] <blueandwhiteg3> I'd really like to be able to analyze compression throughput
[08:28:34] <brendang> richlowe: RE prstat/top sometimes misses: Yes! especially short-lived processes.
[08:28:37] <blueandwhiteg3> like, if zfs could compress to /dev/null

[08:30:42] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: well, this is interesting but overkill
[08:30:52] <brendang> ... confusing American geography
[08:31:39] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: you can reduce the stack lengths by providing a value "stack(5)"
[08:32:52] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: it is overkill. you just want ZFS compression time? DTrace can be customized to provide just that.
[08:33:29] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: i'd like to actually benchmark zfs, rather than just noting the time spent... though with accurate throughput and cpu usage sampling, i could extrapolate
[08:34:14] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: for benchmarking, check out tools such as "filebench" for applying configurable loads

[08:41:06] <stevel> i'm not real happy at having to wake up to tend this shit
[08:41:47] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: anything specifically good about graphical presentation?
[08:42:47] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: I'm not developing software, I'm just trying to get a solid sense of how things are flowing, tweak, review, etc..
[08:43:00] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: such as... easy to find things to measure.. or being able to recognize patterns in plotted data.. or having ceilings/maximums...?
[08:43:36] <blueandwhiteg3> to some extent, ease of things being there, yes, but moreover, patterns and flow is much easier to capture graphically, at least for me
[08:43:59] <e^ipi> stevel, no, it's a shitty situation
[08:44:32] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: fair enough
[08:45:15] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: I'm trying to get a sense of flow, like when working with equipment you get some kind continuous feedback... vibration, airflow, noise, whatever... computers tend to lack that
[08:46:02] <blueandwhiteg3> for example, on OS X i almost always have activity monitor.app open, watching disk / network or whatever I am doing that is intensive and potentially a point of optimization
[08:46:33] <blueandwhiteg3> I tweak things and even shape my usage patterns to match... it's almost automatic at this point
[08:46:46] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: I don't know monitor.app - can you tell me what it is showing? Kbytes? service times?
[08:47:52] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: anyway, here's a little one-liner I just wrote to measure ZFS compression CPU times by operation - and to plot the output in a distribution plot:
[08:48:01] <e^ipi> i find that actual quantifiable deltas like what dtrace gives you are far more accuare than pretty pictures
[08:48:16] <e^ipi> pretty pictures allow you to introduce patterns that don't exist in to the interpretation
[08:48:35] <blueandwhiteg3> aghh
[08:48:48] <brendang> # dtrace -n 'fbt::lzjb*:entry { self->vstart = vtimestamp; } fbt::lzjb*:return /self->vstart/ { @[probefunc] = quantize(vtimestamp - self->vstart); self->vstart = 0; }'
[08:48:49] <blueandwhiteg3> I can't start an irc post with / haha
[08:48:50] <e^ipi> the human brain is a heuristic pattern matching circuit. the heuristic part is what makes it troublesome
[08:49:34] <blueandwhiteg3> The application is at /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app
[08:49:50] <Gman> stevel, doh!
[08:49:57] <blueandwhiteg3> It is not perfect, but it has network throughput on a chart that shows the peak scale at the top in whatever units are appropriate
[08:50:20] <blueandwhiteg3> It shows total data in / out for network, disk and shows instantaneous values, plus makes a nice graph
[08:50:31] <stevel> gman: yeah. 365main has not given me a lot of confidence this week
[08:50:35] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: the output of that oneliner shows times in nanoseconds, in various buckets (4096 - 8192 ns, etc). DTrace lets you fetch this data in other ways too.
[08:50:48] <richlowe> stevel: shit.
[08:50:55] <stevel> 20 minutes after i fell asleep too
[08:50:59] <stevel> :-P
[08:51:08] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: That's interesting, though I don't know how to relate that to the total CPU usage
[08:51:11] <Gman> go to sleep, screw the rest of the world :)
[08:51:12] <richlowe> stevel: you need to nominate someone else to deal with this crap
[08:51:13] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: yes, what does "data" mean for disk - bytes? times? ops?
[08:51:23] <richlowe> stevel: and hey look, Gman's awake, and generally in an antipodean timezone.
[08:51:24] <blueandwhiteg3> brendang: I'll show you
[08:51:31] <richlowe> though these days "generally" maybe a little too strong a term.
[08:51:31] <stevel> gman is in my timezone :)
[08:51:38] <richlowe> stevel: "generally"

[08:51:44] <stevel> yeah
[08:51:51] *** stevel changes topic to "Latest SXCE 69 | Latest ON 69 | Starter kits: http://get.opensolaris.org"
[08:52:20] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: uhhh - you said you wanted to extrapolate CPU compression times. So giving you distribution plots so you can figure out the average time per operation, should help with those extrapolations.
[08:52:47] <richlowe> compression is always going to be a tradeoff against larger disk reads, as far as perf goes.

[08:54:19] <e^ipi> the gzip compression is slow

[08:56:51] <e^ipi> okie, whatever
[08:57:25] <brendang> blueandwhiteg3: those DTrace commands (or something very similar) were used during the development of the ZFS gzip algorithm.
[08:58:36] <blueandwhiteg3> Yes, it seems gzip is horribly slow
[08:59:58] <brendang> yes. we knew that. gzip is gzip - it's not the implementation, it's gzip.
[09:02:19] <blueandwhiteg3> I wonder if there's anything between gzip and lzjb in terms of speed/compression
[09:02:35] <blueandwhiteg3> How well does the compression thread?
[09:03:36] *** seanmcg has quit IRC
[09:04:22] <stevel> nice. re: wednesday's outage, it looks like 365main had 4 out of 10 generators fail
[09:04:23] <blueandwhiteg3> It would be particularly interesting to see some kind of compression that is adaptable, spending more time when there's cpu time, and less time when there's less cpu

[13:55:29] <JWheeler> interestingly, I have another that it does mount. The older one was used for some ipodlinux experiments a while ago, and I assume it has a slightly different FAT version as a result
[13:55:54] <JWheeler> Solaris will mount that one, but I still can't use it as an ipod to add music, it's just treated as USB storage
[13:58:38] <anilg> JWheeler: did you try rmformat after you plugged in the unmountable one?
[13:58:57] <anilg> if it's listed in there, you can format and mount it.
[13:59:23] <JWheeler> I think I did, it was seeing the device, but I believe the issue was that the solaris vfat is somewhat lacking, hence it couldn't mount it
[13:59:38] <JWheeler> I don't know that I want to format it...?
[14:01:04] <anilg> hmm.. you could probably try formatting it from Solaris, and see if it's still recognized by Linux/Sindows/itunes...
[14:01:25] <anilg> if yes you can keep that formattign and have it accessible across all OSes
[14:01:35] <anilg> Windows*
[14:02:04] <JWheeler> I think you had it right the first time :)
[14:02:14] <JWheeler> True, that's an option
[14:02:51] <JWheeler> When I get more motivated, I may give it a try. For now I only use the ipod for running, and I've not worked my way through all the songs currently on there just yet
[14:04:11] <anilg> say.. are you the blastwave mplayer guy?

[21:57:55] <_setuid_H> what about /boot/grub/.../filelist.ramdisk
[21:58:07] <_setuid_H> did you add line etc/zfs/zpool.cache?
[22:00:06] <_setuid_H> maybe
[22:00:10] <_setuid_H> your grub.conf
[22:00:15] <_setuid_H> is on the right place?
[22:00:22] <_setuid_H> and right parameters?
[22:00:26] <kito> it is
[22:00:39] <kito> the menu is correct, and seems to have the correct entries

[22:01:58] <_setuid_H> can you check it via zpool list -iv
[22:02:01] <_setuid_H> or zfs list
[22:02:08] <_setuid_H> just zpool list
[22:02:09] <_setuid_H> sorry

[22:16:59] <_setuid_H> kito: what method did you choose to dump ufs files to zfs
[22:17:06] <_setuid_H> tar or ufsdump?
[22:17:35] <kito> cpio actually
[22:17:48] <_setuid_H> try to use ufsdump
[22:17:49] <kito> find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pvdm /zfsroot
[22:18:03] <kito> this exact process has worked for me several times
[22:18:06] <_setuid_H> it's on my page
[22:18:13] <_setuid_H> try it and you'll se
[22:18:14] <_setuid_H> e
[22:18:16] <kito> ok
[22:20:11] <kito> _setuid_H have you done this successfuly on sxde 64a?
[22:20:41] <_setuid_H> 64 yes but not de
[22:20:46] <_setuid_H> now 66 ok
[22:20:53] <_setuid_H> before 62 ok
[22:21:08] <kito> the only thing that has changed for me is using sxde
[22:21:32] <_setuid_H> well i think that the only one change is more testing and studio12 ...
[22:21:35] <kito> I have another machine running zfsroot on sxcr 68a no problems
[22:21:49] <kito> yeah, I would think the boot bits were the same
[22:22:06] <_setuid_H> more marketing than coding ... :-)
[22:22:13] <kito> hehe
[22:22:35] <kito> postgresql is broken on current cr though
[22:22:50] <kito> thats the only rason I want de 64 right now
[22:22:51] <_setuid_H> well jds is broken all the time :-)
[22:23:01] <_setuid_H> partitialy of course :-)
[22:23:06] <kito> thats inherent brokenness
[22:23:11] <kito> I don't use that anyway
[22:23:16] <_setuid_H> try new 69 and you'll see
[22:23:29] <_setuid_H> i would like to use fluxbox as on gentoo
[22:23:40] <_setuid_H> but everytime crashs
[22:23:44] <kito> no, the bug that kills postgres didn't get fixed in 69 either
[22:23:48] <kito> afaik I know anyway
[22:23:49] <_setuid_H> ok
[22:24:56] <_setuid_H> download ./configure && make && make install :-)
[22:25:05] <kito> no, its a kernel bug

[23:06:19] <oasnebi> any ideas?
[23:06:22] <nachox> evening
[23:10:49] <oasnebi> hello
[23:17:43] <oasnebi> also, out of the box, opensolaris didn't support my sound card (AC97). is this a known problem? i googled around and found http://www.tools.de/opensource/solaris/audio/beta/
[23:17:56] <oasnebi> is that the prefered way of handling intel ICH* chipsets?
[23:19:52] <_mary_kate_> oasnebi: that, or OSS (www.opensound.com), which will probably be integrated into solaris shortly anyway
[23:20:42] <oasnebi> _mary_kate_: is that the commercial OSS that i hear is so much better than gnu/linux's ALSA?
[23:20:50] <_mary_kate_> yes
[23:20:56] <oasnebi> ah, wonderful, when is that scheduled?
[23:20:57] <_mary_kate_> apparently they're going to open source it or something
[23:21:05] <_mary_kate_> (there was some drama about the licensing, but i've not been following it)
[23:21:08] <_mary_kate_> i don't know off hand
[23:21:10] <oasnebi> wow, this is big news to me, i'm heading right over to that site :)
[23:21:25] <oasnebi> "OSS v4.0 is finally Open Sourced!"
[23:21:29] <nachox> keep in mind that if you install their package, you have to either buy a license or reinstall the package every 6 months
[23:21:39] <_mary_kate_> nachox: really?  i thought they'd changed that :(
[23:21:56] <nachox> _mary_kate_, not that i know of
[23:22:10] <nachox> ask me again in 4 months :)
[23:22:11] <_mary_kate_> oh well, maybe they will now it's open source :)
[23:22:19] <oasnebi> reinstall the package every 6 months meaning... reboot once every six months? (i've been trying to figure out why installing a kernel module (what do opensolaris folks call that anyway?) require reboot)
[23:22:22] <_mary_kate_> i think i get around it by installing some unofficial 4.0 beta which didn't have that restriction
[23:22:47] <_mary_kate_> oasnebi: it doesn't, it depends on what the module is.
[23:22:54] <nachox> what? you dont need to reboot
[23:22:55] <_mary_kate_> replacing an existing module might do, you see that with patches
[23:23:07] <_mary_kate_> e.g. you can't really unload ufs :)
[23:23:39] <nachox> well, the install instructions tell you to reboot if you're replacing the drivers, that is right
[23:24:36] <oasnebi> whoa, now that OSS is OSS, i wonder if it'll get integrated back into gnu/linux

[23:26:01] <trochej> Not much chances
[23:26:18] <trochej> It was said, that alsa is so much superior
[23:26:23] <nachox> maybe you could distract them from the ck argument
[23:26:28] <trochej> :)
[23:27:19] <oasnebi> hehe, i think the ck argument should be reserved for time sink channels like #politics
[23:27:21] <trochej> nachox: Sadly, I belive that Con distracted them enough
[23:27:39] <trochej> oasnebi: LKML is an alias for #politics
[23:27:48] <trochej> Or, at least, #Linus'Politics
[23:28:24] <nachox> leave linus issues to linux related channels, just laugh at them when you can like i do
[23:32:38] <trochej> nachox: I used Linux since 1997, so it's quite difficult to just let go
[23:33:10] <sle> heh, i run the lug here on campus, and i'm starting to feel that solaris may be a better OS
[23:33:20] <_mary_kate_> change it into a sug

[23:42:25] <trochej> okay
[23:44:01] <sle> i think ben rockwood has a basic SMF manifest for postfix somewhere on his site
[23:44:34] <nachox> i wish solaris included postfix by default...
[23:45:17] <sle> btw, has anyone ever seen this error from svcs?
[23:45:23] <sle> svcs: svcs.c:335: Unexpected libscf error: invalid argument.  Exiting.
[23:45:51] <sle> we're getting it on a solaris 10u1 system, and it's totally tripping me out
[23:46:30] <sle> SMF seems to work for the most part, but calling svcs -x on a service generates that error
[23:47:55] *** perlmonk has quit IRC
[23:49:20] <nachox> dtrace it to see what argument it is that is causing the error?
[23:49:36] * sle doesn't possess dtrace-fu :/
[23:50:16] <nachox> check the dtrace toolkit, im sure there is one that does what you want
[23:51:59] <trochej> Hmmm
[23:52:04] <trochej> A though just occured to me

[23:52:43] <trochej> If I treid to rise that interface, I could attach a dtrace probe and try to find out at which moment it fails adn with what and when
[23:52:46] <trochej> Or something
[23:52:59] * trochej rummages through his dusty Documents to look for dtrace guide
[23:53:10] <trochej> I think that would mean see you later :)
