[00:19:30] <nemesis> g4lt-U60: I was talking abotu the general handling of the OS [00:20:05] <nachox> they have the documentation community [00:20:23] <nachox> which in turn is in charge of some manuals at docs.sun.com [00:20:25] <nemesis> anyway, time for my morning coffee [00:20:26] <kito> well, I hear such mixed opinions coming from this community, seems there are all the people saying they want more users and larger developer base, then on the other hand people don't really seemed concerned with getting new people, becuase new people only have 'wrong' habits [00:20:38] *** Tpenta has quit IRC [00:20:42] <kito> which is probably true [00:20:58] <kito> but everyone I know who tries solaris/opensoalris, has the exact same culture shock [00:21:13] <kito> *shrug* [00:22:02] <_mary_kate_> for some reason, people coming from linux and asking "how do i do <linux thing> in solaris?" often get snarky answers about how "solaris isn't linux" [00:22:20] <nachox> i had 0 experience with solaris and have been a slackware user for years and you dont hear me complaining do you? you only need to read the documentation and using the os, the same was true when i started using linux [00:22:44] <g4lt-U60> well, TBH, I think that as far as documentation, solaris still excels head and shoulders above all others, I just wish that people would read ESR's smart questions rant before asking [00:22:57] <trochej> Back in the good old days of teletype machines, all you had to do, was read te man pages :) [00:23:33] <nachox> ESR's rant is a nightmare and full of bad advises [00:23:37] <kito> fair enough, s/*/RTFM/g [00:24:26] <kito> And I'm really not whining, I have no problem RTFM, I'm just erlaying observations [00:24:37] <kito> relaying too [00:24:38] <g4lt-U60> nachox, well, he does have some valid points, like you'll get no help by asking "who here has used zfs?" [00:25:28] <nachox> g4lt-U60, a few valid point burried deep in a document trating newbies like crap [00:25:54] <g4lt-U60> now if you ask "I'm having an issue mounting my zpool", I can give some oudtaed information, but be useful. I won't answer a metaquestion, even though I do use it [00:26:20] <nachox> i'd kick ESR in the .... if i ever saw him recommending that document in person [00:26:51] <trochej> Well, he'd reccomend it, if he wrote it [00:27:22] <kito> Theres a big difference between the 'whos used zfs' type question, and 'I'm new to solaris, I am used to using sudo for administration tasks, what should I do?' [00:27:54] <g4lt-U60> right, and my advice is "don't use sudo, use RBAC" [00:27:57] <kito> I'm not sure RTFM helps in that scenario, when YOU wouldn't even know which man to read [00:28:06] <nachox> kito, the refere to different parts to start with :P [00:28:08] <kito> s/YOU/you/ [00:28:09] <richlowe> all of them! [00:28:10] <trochej> kito: And there should be a big, red, blinking link at opensolaris.org home page to QUESTIONS YOU DON'T WANT TO ASK [00:28:13] <trochej> NEVEr [00:28:25] <trochej> And there should be: [00:28:25] <_mary_kate_> why isn't solaris more like linux? [00:28:32] <trochej> NEver ask: Who used ZFS here? [00:28:36] * g4lt-U60 hands _mary_kate_ a cigar [00:28:45] <trochej> _mary_kate_: A good question to put there [00:28:46] <richlowe> _mary_kate_: the bigger question is why are the answers snarky? (unless the question demands one) [00:28:49] <nachox> _mary_kate_, that would start a war, yes :P [00:28:52] <richlowe> I mean, if the opportunity is too good to pass up... [00:28:55] *** monzie has quit IRC [00:29:07] <nemesis> yeah solaris is kinda like linux [00:29:22] <nemesis> and i only just started with it :P [00:29:34] <nemesis> but I understand the internal workings is different [00:29:45] <g4lt-U60> richlowe, why are the answers snarky? because WE are humans too, and get tired of answering the same questions because the user doesn't think before asking [00:29:57] <nemesis> hehe [00:30:04] <richlowe> g4lt-U60: Yeah, but if you give them the right answer, they only ask once. [00:30:05] <nemesis> the same in the linux channels g4lt-U60 [00:30:07] <richlowe> so it's better that way, too. [00:30:22] <kito> g4lt-U60 so the afforementioned 'newbie solaris quickstart guide' would be a nice place to start [00:30:46] <richlowe> as far as which man page for rbac (I guess), rbac(5), and especially the larger manual referenced in there. [00:31:04] <nachox> g4lt-U60, if you're tired of answering the same question over and over again the best thing you can do is not answering at all, that leaves room for new users to answer, which will probably help with their morale [00:31:05] <g4lt-U60> kito, write it and it'll go right next to jamesd's never too far from home blog entry as my most linked-to page [00:31:29] <richlowe> Also, I think the docs folks were trying to come up with such a document. [00:31:32] <trochej> I once run a videostore. I had printed movie reviews and shorts in numerous copies, so that people could choose what they wanted. Still, everyone aignored big, red books of printed papers, because everyone just HAD to ask me, what the movie was about. [00:31:46] <trochej> The same with Manuals and operating systems [00:32:11] <richlowe> the thing is, there's few frequently asked things, they're just asked often. [00:32:15] <richlowe> (like the /home thing) [00:32:20] <trochej> People don't like to read manuals. They like to ask other people. Even if questions are simply stupid [00:32:31] <nemesis> yep [00:32:35] <richlowe> which confuses each and every person, because they hit it before they're in a position to read the manual that explains it (which is also not so easy to find) [00:32:45] <nemesis> "omg, how do I hack hotmail" is another example [00:33:44] <kito> /home, the root shell, sudo, all the possible PATHs(ucb,ccs,sfw,openwin etc etc) [00:33:57] <kito> out of 10 people, they all said the same thing [00:33:58] <trochej> nemesis: Nah, more often: My girlfriend just forgot her password to her jabber account and I don't really want to snoop one her [00:34:07] <nemesis> :P [00:34:20] <nemesis> people know I'm good with that kinda thing [00:34:23] <nemesis> so they ask me all the time [00:34:26] <trochej> kito: "Holy shit"? :) [00:34:32] <nachox> very polite :P [00:34:48] <kito> trochej s/Holy//, yeah [00:34:50] <richlowe> You're never going to get questions about root's shell answered in a FAQ. [00:34:53] <richlowe> people will just argue about the answer. [00:34:58] * richlowe points at g4lt ;) [00:35:17] <nachox> hehe [00:35:21] <_mary_kate_> i change root's shell to bash because it annoys loud people in irc [00:35:22] <_mary_kate_> ;-) [00:35:23] <trochej> richlowe: So use the answer that g4lt-U60 gave to me: Don't use rootshell: use RBAC :) [00:35:26] <kito> I guess thats why nexenta exists [00:35:29] <trochej> _mary_kate_: :) [00:35:41] <kito> _mary_kate_ haha [00:35:45] <nemesis> bash is easy to use [00:35:50] <cmn_err> <VIVI> Xbox already has the following games: [00:35:51] <cmn_err> <VIVI> Microsoft Word [00:35:52] <cmn_err> <VIVI> Microsoft Excel [00:35:54] <cmn_err> <VIVI> Solitaire [00:35:56] <nemesis> lol [00:36:01] <trochej> :) [00:36:04] <nachox> trochej, of course the next question is what the hell is RBAC [00:36:13] <tomww> cmn_err: are you crazy? [00:36:15] <cmn_err> i haven't a clue, tomww [00:36:21] <trochej> nachox: And the answer would be: RTFM, you noob [00:36:29] <trochej> :) [00:36:30] <nemesis> hehe [00:36:34] <nachox> trochej, that would scare the user away [00:36:51] <trochej> but I think that what kito said is true, a link to such a guide would be really cool [00:36:52] <kito> I should have read the indiana ML list before even saying anything [00:37:05] <kito> I would have seen theres a month long flamewar over pretty much the same shit [00:37:05] <trochej> kito: I just stopped :) [00:37:19] <nachox> trochej, you only a little explanation and the url to the manual at docs.sun.com [00:37:26] <trochej> iMax: They rediscovered LKML all right :) [00:37:34] <nachox> s/only/only need/ [00:37:37] <trochej> pfft [00:37:44] <trochej> s/imax/kito/ [00:37:52] <trochej> nachox: Too big [00:37:53] <kito> its not far from it [00:37:58] <trochej> Theese docs are good for real men [00:37:59] <kito> bunch of handwaving [00:38:18] <nachox> you'd be surprised [00:38:21] <trochej> kito: In that regard Indiana is very much linux-like :) [00:38:24] <nemesis> well I'm off to work [00:38:30] <kito> trochej hehe, indeed [00:38:34] <trochej> nachox: I'm not, I translate theese [00:38:55] <trochej> nachox: And in Poland I was quite active newbe linux supporter [00:38:59] <trochej> nachox: two pages [00:39:01] <trochej> It's max [00:39:14] <trochej> nachox: A book is good for more intermediate users [00:39:20] <richlowe> trochej: Indiana is way more argument than handwaving. [00:39:29] <trochej> nachox: Newbie is just too lost, [00:39:59] <nachox> trochej, that is where questions get more to the point in general [00:40:05] <trochej> richlowe: I don't kno, I stopped paying attention when after a week the same thread was in the same point [00:40:36] <kito> I bet murdock does't get to sit at the cool kids table at lunch [00:40:36] <nachox> of course there are newbies that will need to be spoonfeed their entire lifes but they eventually get feedup and leave [00:40:59] <trochej> richlowe: They didn't get anywhere, and - I could bet - if I just jumped in, I' wouldn't be too lost on the topic - they still argue about minimalism vs. maximalism, and Gnome vs Kde and so on [00:41:44] <richlowe> Oh, yeah, that's just random argument though. [00:41:49] <trochej> And if GNU userland should replace native solaris one [00:41:59] <richlowe> I'm not sure anyone actually suggested the latter. :) [00:42:18] <trochej> richlowe: Oh, I may have exagerrated a little :) [00:42:38] <trochej> richlowe: But you get the point :) [00:43:07] <richlowe> Yeah. [00:43:48] <trochej> But I just switched to Solaris from Linux, because I got fed up with democratic tyrrany, if I can create such a language monster, and because I saw Solaris as a os with a good a dn strong technical lead [00:44:05] <kito> I just can't help but wonder if such arguments happened internally at sun before opensolaris was born, or if pointless flamewars are just inherent in opensores [00:44:10] <trochej> And then OKML got reinvented in the form of Indiana-dicsuss [00:44:15] <trochej> s/OKML/LKML/ [00:44:16] <nachox> lol [00:44:53] <trochej> You know, that fear that Indiana "ought to be all about community" [00:44:56] <trochej> And not Sun led [00:45:13] <trochej> Hey, I see a pretty good OS that grew out of Sun's lead? [00:45:16] <trochej> So what's wrong with it? [00:45:32] <kito> trochej its still there [00:45:42] <kito> you can still use it!

[03:51:29] <gnut> i got two dells to use solaris now.

[03:51:55] <spackest> I tried switching some commodity hardware over to solaris with no luck [03:52:04] <gnut> but i can't help that everyone buys dells and i just use what people let me use. [03:52:28] <gnut> oh... i take that back. i've gotten three dells to use solaris now. [03:52:33] <spackest> it wouldn't even recognize the cdrom enough to run the hardware diagnostic stuff [03:52:45] <gnut> working on the fourth.... i'm using pxe to install it over the network [03:52:56] <gnut> but i'm stuck at the "configuring /dev" line... it just won't get past that.

[05:35:54] <gnut> i was reading that... which is what got me thinking about all this. [05:36:16] <gnut> so you do a zfs clone to clone the drive [05:36:20] <gnut> then how do you upgrade the clone? [05:36:38] <gnut> say you download the new ISO for the latest and greatest SXCE has to offer.... [05:36:57] <gnut> can you upgrade one of the clones without having to use a CD? [05:41:05] <gnut> coffman: so if i understand right (and probably i'm very wrong here)... he clones his install then uses BFU to upgrade? then if it doesn't work, he can always roll back? [05:41:36] <gnut> but it's not upgrading by SXCE builds, so you don't get all the bits [05:41:46] <gnut> at least not all the bits that come with an SXCE release [05:42:48] <gnut> the reason I like live upgrade is because it gives me a sort of "fresh" install where all the versions of the packages are in sync, or at least in sync such that they should work according to the releasers. [05:43:17] <palowoda> Now this is the kind of console I could use: http://www.digitaltigers.com/displays-arena.shtml [05:47:02] <gnut> wow [05:48:57] <kito> I'm pretty sure cmn_err is a bot [05:50:34] <gnut> coffman: hmm... since live upgrade supposedly uses cpio, which is fs-independent... can you do a live upgrade with zfs if you use zfs clone instead of lucreate? how would you name the zfs clone and give it an environment name? [05:51:32] <coffman> kito: seems so [05:51:57] <coffman> gnut: what i said, you will not need to lucreate [05:52:33] <gnut> coffman: sorry :) ... just clarifying because i didn't understand. so how would you name the zfs clone? [05:52:36] <coffman> nothing wrong with using it, but people like to see where they head if they get a link [05:53:16] <coffman> gnut: i think you can give the clone the name of your dog, if you like too [05:54:22] <coffman> gnut: but in theorie it should work out easy, only thing you will miss from lucreate is the grub entry thing [05:54:43] <gnut> coffman: okay. the grub entry has to be done manually [05:55:02] <gnut> coffman: so ... i'm still unclear. i would do luupgrade -n my_dogs_name [05:55:13] <gnut> when i do zfs clone of my root [05:55:18] <gnut> how do i set the name my_dogs_name [05:55:27] <gnut> btw, i've never done a zfs clone before [05:55:35] <gnut> reading man pages as we speak [05:56:04] <coffman> heh [05:56:16] <coffman> ill use it constantly for zones [05:59:24] *** triplah_ has joined #opensolaris [06:01:24] <coffman> gnut: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2007-June/028576.html [06:01:25] <cmn_err> http://tinyurl.com/28rty3 [06:01:36] *** reidms has quit IRC [06:01:42] <coffman> hmpf [06:02:05] <coffman> any mod around?

[09:06:38] <oasnebi> nope [09:07:03] <oasnebi> i was wondering why the base install of opensolaris came with UUCP [09:07:15] <oasnebi> i don't think it's all that popular, but then again, i could be wrong [09:07:20] <palowoda> What are you going to do about it? [09:09:55] <oasnebi> if i'm bothered by it enough, i might take a few (possibly, if i have the time) scientific polls and submit them to the opensolaris folks responsible for making the DVDs. if the polls are strong enough, maybe UUCP related stuff will get taken out of opensolaris. conversely, i could be wrong and UUCP could be tremendously popular [09:10:19] <flyingparchment> the people responsibel for the solaris/SX DVDs are sun, not opensolaris [09:10:24] <flyingparchment> (because its a sun distribution) [09:10:39] <Trisk[laptop]> terminology nit: "opensolaris" is (currently) not something you install, it's just the basis for SX and other systems [09:11:24] <e^ipi> despite ian murdock being incompitent, the opensolaris/SX distinction isn't actually that complicated [09:11:37] <flyingparchment> the uucp solaris ships is also very old, taylor uucp (which most free OSs use) is a fair bit nicer [09:12:06] <e^ipi> thnk Linux vs. RedHat [09:12:15] <e^ipi> you don't install linux, you install a linux distro... linux is just code [09:14:34] <oasnebi> so the correct term is opensolaris distribution then? [09:14:41] <e^ipi> yep [09:14:58] <palowoda> No x is a term. [09:15:20] <oasnebi> phrase? is that the word i'm looking for? [09:17:06] <oasnebi> hmm, so RBAC is effectively like a lot of groups and users organized to perform specific functions? [09:17:19] <e^ipi> no [09:17:58] <e^ipi> RBAC is a bunch of permissions to do things, that you can grant to different users [09:18:25] <oasnebi> how is it actually implemented on a lower level? [09:18:34] <e^ipi> and the permissions are very fine grained ( priv_netaddr, for example, lets you open ports < 1024... nothing more, nothing less ) [09:18:39] <oasnebi> users and groups? ACLs? [09:18:53] <palowoda> all of them. [09:19:06] <oasnebi> mm, seems neat [09:19:21] <e^ipi> quite the exact opposite actually [09:19:31] <oasnebi> oh? [09:19:45] <e^ipi> RBAC isn't like a collection of users.... users/groups/etc are collections of RBAC privileges [09:20:12] <e^ipi> the root account isn't a superuser account, it's a collection of privileges granted by default to the ordinary user "root" [09:20:32] *** _setuid_H has joined #opensolaris [09:20:38] <e^ipi> you can assign the same privileges to the user "slave" and you would effectively rename the root acount [09:22:18] <oasnebi> oh, on a completely different note, if i remove the ethernet cable from my solaris box and then put it back in... after say an hour, i should still be able to access network stuff normally right? or do i have to run a few svcadm commands? [09:22:58] *** theRealballchalk has left #opensolaris [09:24:29] <palowoda> You can run the commands but why bother. [09:26:20] <oasnebi> palowoda: because i want to have access to my solaris box after i'm done using the other machine with ethernet? [09:26:33] <palowoda> Note that it wasn't a question. [09:27:14] <oasnebi> palowoda: it seemed like a confused statement moreso than any sort of sarcasm [09:44:05] *** spackest has joined #opensolaris [09:44:30] <spackest> trying to get solaris routing working, anyone up for helping out?

[14:12:27] <Gekkko> but 4 hours of OGG is better than 8 hours of AAC >_> [14:12:36] <Tempt> ogg be damned. [14:12:45] <Gekkko> what's wrong with ogg? [14:12:52] <Gekkko> well, I like FLAC anyway.

[14:22:06] <kaiwai> meh, you guys need to see what rain looks like, right now aussie looks like a clip out of mad max [14:23:31] <Tempt> was quite nice out today. [14:24:03] <kaiwai> its raining here [14:27:14] <kaiwai> this latest fiasco in linux makes me laugh [14:28:26] <trochej> wchich one, you mean? [14:28:31] <Tempt> which particular latest fiasco? [14:28:55] <oxygene> kaiwai: just wait for the opensolaris fiascos [14:29:04] *** iceq has quit IRC [14:29:06] <kaiwai> meh, i doubt it [14:29:07] <oxygene> well.. at least, they'll be properly ARCd [14:29:25] <kaiwai> true, the only one so far is Schilly whining about star [14:29:51] <kaiwai> ARC is rather slow though, look how long opensound has been 'approved' and yet to be merged [14:29:59] <Tempt> not exactly fiasco territory [14:30:42] <oxygene> comparing how long it takes ksh93 vs pushing gnu coreutils.. *shrug* [14:30:43] *** JWheeler has quit IRC [14:31:18] <jmcp> kaiwai: careful, you're starting to sound like Joerg [14:31:22] <kaiwai> gnu coreutils - what is included with that? [14:31:34] <oxygene> kaiwai: seq [14:31:37] <kaiwai> jmcp: whats holding up opensound though? [14:31:40] <oxygene> and lots of other small things [14:31:45] *** JWheeler has joined #opensolaris [14:31:52] <jmcp> kaiwai: I dunno [14:31:53] <oxygene> jmcp: where's the problem with sounding like joerg? [14:32:05] <Tempt> Solaris has a history of stability over fast change. [14:32:12] <Tempt> That isn't going to change overnight. [14:32:21] <jmcp> oxygene: in the context of "ARC is slow" ... it leads sooo quickly to "nothing else should be allowed to integrate before star(1)" [14:32:22] <jmcp> :-) [14:32:29] <Tempt> For utils, OSS, ksh93 .. that can all be done with a few pkgadds later ... [14:32:36] <kaiwai> Tempt: the current sound API sucks though [14:32:50] <Tempt> The current sound API *works* and is *stable* [14:33:13] <kaiwai> Tempt: it sucks even more when it comes to opensound and trying to record audio - it only works using the ossrecord, none of the GUI applications work properly [14:33:24] <oxygene> jmcp: I don't mind the time it takes - but it's weird how things get added with no resistance (and no real notice as far as I can see), while other things get debated to death [14:33:46] <oxygene> jmcp: but that's probably an issue of ending up in different consolidations [14:33:56] <oxygene> maybe they should've tried to push ksh93 into sfw first [14:33:57] <jmcp> could be, that's true [14:34:00] <Tempt> If it's a load of politics, it'll get debated. If the decision is easy, it'll go through quickly. [14:34:38] <Tempt> Trying to push through a new shell as if it makes a huge difference isn't worth the debating effort. Anyone who wants it can install a package later. [14:34:59] <kaiwai> hmm, whats the hold up for ksh93 though? "whats the reason for merging?", "because I bloody well said so" [14:35:06] <oxygene> Tempt: I see more need for discussion with gnu tools (no stable interface, no stable maintenance) than with other things.. esp. because of "stability" concerns [14:35:56] <oxygene> and it seems that ON care about it, while sfw doesn't - hence: get everything into sfw and obsolete (and drop) everything non-kernel in ON over long time.. et voila: linux development model.. isn't that what sun wants to do anyway? ;) [14:35:58] <Tempt> The hold-up with ksh93 is people want it installed to /bin/ksh [14:36:21] <kaiwai> does it conflict with any existing package as to stop it from being in there? [14:36:32] <Tempt> Yes, it does. [14:36:41] <Tempt> That's what makes it a debating point. [14:36:51] <oxygene> Tempt: /bin points to /usr/bin.. sfw seems to use /usr/bin, so it's a way to get files into /bin, too [14:36:53] <Tempt> If they wanted to install it to /bin/ksh93 nobody would argue so much. [14:37:04] <Tempt> oxygene: sfw is either /usr/sfw or /opt/sfw [14:39:02] <oxygene> Tempt: http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/sfwnv/test_stevel/usr/src/pkgdefs/SUNWgnu-coreutils/prototype_com [14:39:03] <cmn_err> http://tinyurl.com/25ezm9 [14:39:19] <oxygene> Tempt: 22 files in /usr/bin [14:39:58] <kaiwai> dear god, all that; I'd just give up [14:40:09] <kaiwai> I'd leave the community and give up [14:40:12] <oxygene> oh, /usr/bin/bzip2, too (also sfw) [14:40:35] <oxygene> kaiwai: communi-what? [14:40:48] <kaiwai> opensolaris community [14:42:09] <coffman> well, in the end distros will come and put on the pressure (i hope so) [14:42:36] <Gekkko[PDA]> hey [14:44:28] <sickness> kaiwai: :/ [14:44:38] <sickness> kaiwai: what where you doing in the community?
