[00:56:19] <reflect> hm.. on sparc, when I wanted to copy a disk layout, I just went into format, named a layout to something, changed disk and then used 'select' to apply it
[00:56:48] <reflect> however, when I try it now, it seems to forget the named table when I change disks?
[00:57:39] <axisys> we are trying to save money on power in our organization.. we are unix shop.. mostly solaris(sparc,x86), freebsd(sun x86) and very little linux.. we need a general idea for future purchase of CPU/Mem and Storage..
[00:58:08] *** Tpenta has joined #opensolaris
[00:58:10] <movement> delewis: AMD has had them for years too
[00:58:24] <movement> delewis: this is something on top (that SPARC doesn't AFAIK have at all)
[00:58:25] <axisys> so going with T2k and X4500 should be our main focus?
[00:58:34] *** sstallion has quit IRC

[01:00:46] <reflect> seanmcg: thanks for the alternative method
[01:00:55] <reflect> but, is this behaviour normal?
[01:02:07] <seanmcg> unsure right now, haven't used format like that in years.  Always used prtvtoc/fmthard :)  Though if it disagrees with the manpage its probably a bug.
[01:05:00] <reflect> was a long time ago since I used format myself, I'm gonna go read up on how it should work
[01:05:10] *** EchoBinary has quit IRC
[01:05:55] <axisys> Is there some url where I can get some guidance on how to pick a system that perform best for the price based on the functionality of a system? I am trying to get a basic idea if for example to run 4 zones with one of them running oracle should I go with a X4200 or T2k ?

[01:07:52] * jmcp shrugs
[01:08:19] <jmcp> did you read the release notes?

[01:08:44] <jmcp> having spent *many* years supporting customers, I never make that assumption
[01:08:45] <axisys> jmcp: so what is the right hw for the job? is there some cheat sheet I can go by?
[01:08:56] <axisys> jmcp: i have few hundred servers to choose from
[01:08:59] <delewis> SPARC all around.
[01:09:08] <axisys> delewis: i like that..
[01:09:26] <jmcp> axisys: you have to figure that out for yourself. figure out what high level requirements you have, and then do pros/cons on the various options which fit those requirements
[01:09:28] <axisys> delewis: is it because of the obp or something else?
[01:09:31] <jmcp> geez, it's not like it's rocket science
[01:09:59] <tsoome> axisys: what job this DB will do? if its very GHz bound....
[01:10:04] <axisys> jmcp: hehe.. i am getting ready to fig out.. just wanted to see if there is some cheat sheet to get a start

[01:10:53] <jmcp> hi leal
[01:11:00] <axisys> tsoome: sounds good
[01:11:18] <jmcp> axisys: so what is the front end for your oracle instance going to be doing?
[01:11:28] <tsoome> but it really depends how well the actual sql is written...
[01:11:31] <jmcp> do you have minimum requirements for connections/sec? query time?
[01:11:34] <leal> somebody knows about a "link" that explains threads and lwp solaris vs. linux?

[01:12:42] <jmcp> leal: purchase "Solaris Internals, 2nd edition"
[01:12:52] <leal> i wish to understand why some apps "are" multi-threaded but dont use multi-core systems for example...
[01:13:02] <tsoome> ?
[01:13:09] <nrubsig> leal: ?!
[01:13:10] <jmcp> leal: example, please
[01:13:36] <leal> jmcp: that's for sure... but i can't find it here in Brazil... i will need to buy from amazon.. :)
[01:13:39] <nrubsig> leal: do you mean applicatoins which use |setcontext()|&co. ?
[01:13:46] <tsoome> this can only happen if multicore is not supported at all, or if kernel has no idea about threads in app
[01:13:57] <jmcp> leal: or prentice hall, direct. either way, it's a very handy book to have

[01:14:39] <jmcp> leal: and http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/Solaris_Internals_and_Performance_FAQ
[01:15:01] <leal> we have 10 threads running but because of a "issue" with zope/python, all the threads were running in one processor.
[01:15:31] *** sparc-kly has joined #opensolaris
[01:15:32] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sparc-kly
[01:16:02] <leal> I did read a article about apache and multi-core systems, and the performance in a mono processor was the same (actually, better in mono)
[01:16:55] <leal> i did read something about kernel|user threads.... too.
[01:17:38] <tsoome> how you know they are running in one cpu?
[01:18:01] <dmarker> nrubsig: 'sup?
[01:18:18] <leal> tsoome: i got a totally idle processor.
[01:18:36] <tsoome> thats in solaris?
[01:18:51] <leal> tsoome: no... sorry.. linux.
[01:19:00] <tsoome> well....
[01:19:19] <leal> tsoome: that's why i want to know the differences...
[01:19:25] <tsoome> suppose there is nothing more to add:D
[01:19:38] <tsoome> run it in solaris;)
[01:19:52] <leal> but i did a search and the problem was not linux, but "how" python/zope use threads.
[01:20:17] <tsoome> no, it depends on thread model in use
[01:21:31] <tsoome> maybe you can swith the thread lib.... but i have really no idea what alternatives there are in linux
[01:22:26] <tsoome> but your case sounds like the kernel has no idea there are threads in app
[01:23:17] <leal> maybe, but i need to read something about it. :)
[01:23:21] <tsoome> or perhaps userland threads are deliberately bound to just one cpu or kernel "thread"
[01:23:38] *** NikolaVeber has quit IRC
[01:23:39] <leal> thanks anyway, i will look the links that you point me.
[01:24:51] <leal> i did remember that in freebsd, the threads are showed like just one process... and in linux i have saw like pid's....
[01:25:13] <leal> i think that information was fake... and i want to know how it is in solaris.
[01:25:25] <tsoome> well yes, thats the one way to make them visible:)
[01:25:53] <sommerfeld> solaris 10 binds each userspace thread to a kernel lwp; multiple lwp's sharing a userspace address space make up a process.
[01:26:17] <leal> tsoome: visible, but they will be bound to just one cpu. :)
[01:26:31] <sommerfeld> prstat -L shows each lwp separately
[01:26:46] <tsoome> older solaris systems used to use n-m model, but it proved to be overcomplicated
[01:26:53] <sommerfeld> and multiple lwps of a single process can run simultaneously on multiple cpus
[01:27:10] <sommerfeld> if you pbind a process, all threads are bound to a single cpu and won't run concurrently
[01:27:45] <sommerfeld> pbind can bind individual lwps to individual cpus
[01:28:41] <leal> i think that some softwares that say they are multi-threaded... are not.
[01:29:49] <tsoome> depends, ofc you can write MT app, where only minor functionality is implemented in parallel, and major part is still singlethreaded
[01:30:05] <sommerfeld> there's thread-safe (creates multiple threads) and then there's thread-hot (multiple threads can effectively use multiple cpus)
[01:30:16] <leal> i guess make a program really multi-thread is not simple... so, some apps just use some "features" of mt...
[01:30:41] <leal> tsoome: something like that. :)
[01:31:43] <leal> sommerfeld: so, thread-safe apps just creates multiple threads but bound to a single cpu?
[01:32:10] *** mritun_ has joined #opensolaris
[01:32:34] <leal> is that a definition?
[01:33:32] <mritun_> any dtrace experts around ?
[01:33:35] <FrostCS> hrm, if my expenses are correct, I spent more in the last month being jobless, then I did in the previous year of employment.
[01:33:43] <sommerfeld> not necessarily bound to single cpu, but only having at most one runnable thread at a time..

[01:34:28] <mritun_> no CPU usage and no IO
[01:34:38] <FrostCS> easy fix, don't use CDE.
[01:35:05] <mritun_> hmm, considered, but GNOME is a pig with lipstick
[01:35:21] <FrostCS> CLI is where it's at.
[01:35:24] <mritun_> especially on this VM with 512MB ram
[01:35:50] <mritun_> looking at some way to diagnose what is stuck and where
[01:35:53] <leal> sommerfeld: ok, so that's the diference: thread-safe and thread-hot?
[01:35:59] <mritun_> (which is the fun part)
[01:36:10] <nrubsig> mritun_: check whether $HOME is writeable or whether ~/.tt* files are corrupted
[01:36:50] <nrubsig> mritun_: I mean ~/.TT* like ~/.TTauthority
[01:37:11] <nrubsig> mritun_: and check /var/adm/messages
[01:37:39] <mritun_> hmm, .TTauthority seems to be ok...
[01:37:55] <mritun_> though it contains the last DHCP IP in the magic cookie
[01:37:59] <mritun_> should be ok, right ?
[01:38:13] <nrubsig> mritun_: right.
[01:38:25] <mritun_> there are some binary chars also
[01:38:41] <nrubsig> mritun_: but deleting ~/.TTauthority may help if the cookie is corrupted or invalid for some reason
[01:39:03] <nrubsig> mritun_: ~/.TTauthority is like ~/.Xauthority
[01:39:05] <FrostCS> is this Solaris 10 or SX?

[01:52:57] <cyborg--> i'ved edited the /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf  to   specify   maxframe up to 16k
[01:54:27] <mritun_> alanc: CDE is the most productive desktop/WM that I've ever come across
[01:54:39] <alanc> though I'm partially responsible for the MIT-SHM/zone regression - I introduced the MIT-SHM code a couple years ago that does the check that got broken by the recent zone change
[01:55:13] <seanmcg> [v]twm...
[01:55:39] <FrostCS> oh, cyborg-- try unplumbing the interface first
[01:56:30] <nachox> e is nice too when it comes to productivity
[01:56:44] <cyborg--> so while the interface is umplumbed i cannot use ifconfig right?
[01:56:59] <FrostCS> you can
[01:57:18] <FrostCS> you bring it up with the same command i posted earlier
[01:57:36] *** freakazoid0223 has quit IRC
[01:57:43] <cyborg--> ifconfig: setifmtu: SIOCSLIFMTU: e1000g1: no such interface
[01:57:57] <mritun_> ifconfig e1000g plumb
[01:58:19] <cyborg--> yes i am aware plumb will bring it back, but frostcs was saying  unplumb it first

[02:00:43] *** freakazoid0223 has joined #opensolaris
[02:00:46] <bubbva> mritun_ I concur. CDE just works.  It doesn't suck up all my memory doing nonsense, and doesn't randomly lose my config files & prevent me from logging on (though I've been told Gnome doesn't do that anymore)
[02:00:50] <FrostCS> have you done an update_drv or rebooted since you changed the maxframesize cyborg--?
[02:01:22] *** xsh has quit IRC
[02:02:05] <alanc> hmm, forgot to include the Virtual Console ARC case in today's open agenda
[02:02:30] <Tempt> alanc: You know, you could develop a new pretty login screen.
[02:02:35] <alanc> oh well, it's approved now
[02:02:39] <Tempt> alanc: With fancy features and compiz style eyecandy.
[02:02:42] <cyborg--> I have rebooted yes
[02:02:57] <FrostCS> cyborg--, and default_mtu in nge.conf is set to 9000?
[02:03:08] <elektronkind> we need CDE+compiz
[02:03:25] <sommerfeld> alanc: was marked as "closed" apparently by default/mistake
[02:03:29] <alanc> Tempt: been there, done that, twice now (though xdm changes were much smaller scale than dtlogin)
[02:04:12] <alanc> yeah
[02:04:13] <cyborg--> FrostCS: nge.conf does not contain default_mtu ,  i can put it in,  but this may result in the server becoming an island?
[02:04:14] <Tempt> Naah, something really flashy.
[02:04:28] <alanc> thats what gdm is for
[02:04:52] <alanc> tell yippi he needs to put compiz support into gdm next time he's around
[02:04:54] <FrostCS> cyborg--, if you ndd - get /dev/e1000g1 max_frame_size   you should be able to make sure max frames is set properly atleast.. (after it's replumbed)
[02:05:00] <elektronkind> not even the macos x login screen is flashy
[02:05:29] <alanc> if you mistype your password, it will melt the screen down
[02:05:34] <gdamore> FrostCS: hopefully one of these days brussels will make configuring jumbo frames sane... so most NICs will use the same method.
[02:05:59] <FrostCS> gdamore, do you know what I am missing? I am sure you'd be better help then I would in this subject  :-)
[02:06:01] <gdamore> alanc: better the screen melting down than the user melting down....
[02:06:10] <Tempt> I want to see a MovieOS style login. Numbers streaming by, flashy text, flashy effects when password is incorrect ...
[02:06:11] <gdamore> i haven't followed....
[02:06:22] <alanc> ooh, should have made VT switching rotate the cube like compiz....damn, too late to TCR their ARC case for that
[02:06:24] <elektronkind> god I hope so. Right now it's a trip through wonderland just to figure out if one's particular version of bge or e1000g supports jumbo grames
[02:06:32] <FrostCS> cyborg-- however, I doubt setting default_mtu property would hurt it :-)
[02:06:52] <gdamore> generally you have to *reboot* (or unload and reload the driver) after changing the maximum MTUs.
[02:07:11] <FrostCS> gdamore, he is trying to set up mtu for his e1000g, and is getting an error, and yes, he said he has rebooted after changing the maximum mtu
[02:07:14] <gdamore> most drivers don't support tweaking it other than at start-of-day.  kind of lame...
[02:07:15] <alanc> though having an ARC case require eye candy would probably end up in the ARC melting down
[02:07:55] <Tempt> Heh.
[02:08:25] <gdamore> nah, just having joerg attend ARC would have the same result.
[02:08:28] <FrostCS> gdamore, he is getting a type of that "ifconfig: setifmtu: SIOCSLIFMTU" error...
[02:08:34] <cyborg--> ndd says max frame size is 1514
[02:08:48] <alanc> add -/ flags to every utility that there exists a schily version of!
[02:09:00] <FrostCS> ah, then it looks as if the max_frame hasn't taken effect...
[02:09:01] <alanc> make -/, sh -/, tar -/....
[02:09:08] <cyborg--> And when i try and set it, i get  permission denied,  the  interface is unplumbed while i am trying this
[02:09:25] <Tempt> Oh dear.
[02:09:37] <alanc> though I still think -/ looks more like the old console spinner than a command flag
[02:09:42] <Tempt> Why not demand VMS style syntax next?
[02:09:44] <gdamore> what kind of e1000g is it, many dont' support jumbo frames
[02:09:55] <cyborg--> this is an ibm x345
[02:10:08] <gdamore> onboard nic?
[02:10:08] <Gman> alanc, one more command option you'll never use
[02:10:17] <gdamore> if its an ich8, it doesn't do jumbo frames.
[02:10:41] <cyborg--> onboard to x345 yeah
[02:10:47] <gdamore> ICH8?
[02:11:18] <alanc> just as long as we don't get to adding -\ flags for DOS pathname compatibility and have to explain to people how to quote that in their shells properly
[02:11:21] <gdamore> yeah, looks like that.
[02:12:31] <gdamore> well, i'm not sure now.
[02:12:37] <Triskelios> are the older SXCE install images archived by Sun?
[02:12:40] <gdamore> put the prtconf -vp to pastebin.ca.
[02:13:03] <gdamore> Triskelios: yes.  internally they are online.
[02:13:14] * gdamore keeps his own copies around as well.
[02:14:08] <cyborg--> http://www.pastebin.ca/658979
[02:14:11] <Triskelios> okay, a particular system wants a b63 x86 *CD* and I'm not sure if I should use the one from snv_69
[02:14:27] <nrubsig> alanc: do you have any good suggestion for another ksh93 demo (last one was shnote.ksh) ?
[02:14:34] <Triskelios> (to install packages from an snv_63 DVD)
[02:14:41] <gdamore> cyborg: just a sec.
[02:15:25] <alanc> nrubsig: not off hand
[02:15:57] <Tempt> nrubsig: How about a cheery text based front-end to an mp3 player?
[02:16:08] <Tempt> nrubsig: That could use some of those multithreading features.
[02:16:10] <gdamore> hmmm... i82546EB apparently
[02:16:22] <cyborg--> which should not support it?
[02:16:33] <Tempt> nrubsig: Or a menued frontend to zonecfg/zoneadm?

[02:17:18] <cyborg--> but i want to get a feel for performance now
[02:17:41] <nrubsig> Tempt: multithreading is still in prototype stage.
[02:17:43] * alanc almost said "ksh93 on Rails", but that's not really a demo, and quite scary to actually think about
[02:17:50] <nrubsig> Tempt: I mean multithreading in ksh93
[02:17:51] <nachox> lol
[02:18:05] <gdamore> looks like it *should* support jumbo frames
[02:18:08] <nrubsig> alanc: what would "ksh93 on rails" do ?
[02:18:18] <Tempt> nrubsig: What about something that demonstrates the superior performance of ksh93?
[02:18:21] <FrostCS> yea, google is saying it should be supported also..
[02:18:24] <gdamore> i need to leave now, but i'll be back in about 3 hours.
[02:18:25] <Tempt> nrubsig: Does something flashy without sucking the CPU dry?
[02:18:37] <FrostCS> I'll try to help if I can.. heh
[02:18:46] * delewis has witnessed the superior performance of ksh93
[02:18:47] <alanc> database-backed ajax-y websites, like Ruby on Rails
[02:18:59] <nrubsig> Tempt: we have the mandelbrot1.ksh demo as example for a multicpu parallel application.
[02:19:08] <FrostCS> cyborg-- plumb your interface again, and edit your .conf again, attempting to set the Max frames again.
[02:19:14] <nrubsig> delewis: ?!
[02:19:15] <delewis> I converted a friend's cgi-scripts last week, which were shell scripts from bash to ksh93, and just from changing #!/usr/bin/bash to #!/usr/bin/ksh there was a 30% performance gain.
[02:19:29] <delewis> (that wasn't even changing his usage of expr, sed, etc. to ksh93 builtins)
[02:19:32] <cyborg--> FrostCS  in /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf i have  3,3,3,3
[02:19:33] *** jpdrawneek has quit IRC
[02:19:44] *** onlinebacon has quit IRC
[02:19:44] <nachox> nrubsig, how do you actually spawn threads in ksh?
[02:20:15] <nrubsig> nachox: additional builtin command
[02:20:16] <Tempt> Actually, a replacement for "dialog" would be quite handy.
[02:20:20] <FrostCS> cyborg--, gimme a sec, going to check something quick here.
[02:20:21] <Tempt> That utility is getting old and crufty.
[02:20:32] <brendang> with DTrace probes in both ksh88 and ksh93, showing superior performance will be easy
[02:20:35] <nachox> nrubsig, aka completely unportable right?
[02:20:46] <nrubsig> nachox: for now, yes
[02:21:11] <nrubsig> nachox: in fact no other shell can implement threads anyway since you need subshells without |fork()| for each subshell first
[02:21:15] <nachox> there is an RFE for bash or something like that to add threads?
[02:21:20] <alanc> is anyone going to bother putting them into ksh88 though?
[02:21:24] <nrubsig> nachox: AFAIK no.
[02:21:50] <brendang> alanc: I hope so
[02:21:53] <nrubsig> alanc: threads ?
[02:22:01] <alanc> nrubsig: DTrace probes
[02:22:38] 
[02:22:38] <brendang> alanc: it isn't a lot of effort, for potentially a lot of gain (I've seen a bit of ksh88 out there - which will take a while to get moved to ksh93)
[02:22:44] <Tempt> nrubsig: Did you know that IBM ships ksh93 with AIX?
[02:22:45] <alanc> I know Tpenta did them for /bin/sh, and there's been talk for a while in your project of doing them for ksh93
[02:23:16] <nachox> nrubsig, ouch i tend to use ksh scripts that are portable to bash just by changing the #! shell, no threads for me
[02:23:19] <Tpenta> i want to settle down the interface efore I take on any other shells
[02:23:21] <nrubsig> Tempt: yes, and I wish they would UPDATE their damn version from time to time...
[02:23:28] <delewis> the ksh93 in AIX is ancient.
[02:23:31] <alanc> brendang: yes, but the reason ksh88 got into the state it was in was because it was shipped and no one wanted to touch it again unless they had to, and since the source isn't open....
[02:23:35] <delewis> its either 'g' or 'h' IIRC
[02:24:06] <Tpenta> alanc: can you see any problems if I wanted to "do the work" for the probes at the same time i was looking at other shells?
[02:24:14] <brendang> alanc: yep. well. hopefully a little dtrace debug code to ksh88 won't hurt anything.
[02:24:36] <Tpenta> well given that probably a third of the scripts in ON are ksh88, ...
[02:24:39] <alanc> Tpenta: nope
[02:24:56] <FrostCS> cyborg--, alright, can we try setting that MaxFrameSize again, what were you setting it to the last time?
[02:25:03] <Tpenta> i did the numbers the other day in a blog, if memory serves, probably 70-80% of scripts in ON are sh and ksh88
[02:25:11] <Tpenta> almost all the rest are incarnations of perl
[02:25:44] <nachox> maybe you can use dtrace to fix nightly <wink>
[02:26:06] <cyborg--> # ndd -set /dev/e1000g1 MaxFrameSize 9000
[02:26:06] <cyborg--> operation failed: Invalid argument
[02:26:16] <FrostCS> cyborg-- oh, you can't set by ndd
[02:26:17] <alanc> now if you could sneak into DevPro land and put dtrace probes into make...
[02:26:28] <FrostCS> cyborg--, it has to be edited manually
[02:26:33] *** Mdx4 has quit IRC
[02:27:15] <delewis> Tpenta: how difficult was it adding USDT probes to /sbin/sh?
[02:27:22] <nachox> alanc, and cc? :)
[02:27:41] <cyborg--> Okay... well,   i have 3's in the /kernel/drv/e1000g.conf file under framesize,  where else do i modify this
[02:27:56] <Tpenta> not very, the most tricky part was the line number probes and a few things to do with command-*
[02:28:00] <Tpenta> and subshell-*

[02:28:07] <delewis> ah.
[02:28:12] <FrostCS> MaxFrameSize right cyborg--?
[02:28:38] <brendang> so, just so everyone is clear on this, there is a *chance* that ksh88 probes will be completed before ksh93
[02:28:43] <delewis> I have a few applications that adding USDT probes to could prove beneficial for.
[02:28:48] <cyborg--> MaxFrameSize=3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3;
[02:29:05] <FrostCS> cyborg, alright, should work, can you try a reboot?
[02:29:11] * Gman likes vance's latest article about the vmware ipo
[02:29:18] <cyborg--> i've reboot since it has been set to that :|
[02:29:25] <cyborg--> i could reboot again, but i havent changed anything

[03:23:24] <FrostCS> I am sure you could always get help via desktop-discuss if you needed on any xfce problems, whether it be compiling, or using the project page though.
[03:23:31] <FrostCS> just incase you had any problems.
[03:25:31] <cyborg--> No luck,  same with the other card...
[03:25:56] <FrostCS> which version of sxce again cyborg--?
[03:26:47] <cyborg--> b69 ?
[03:26:51] <FrostCS> ah hrm
[03:26:58] <cyborg--> i just downloaded it  this week
[03:27:14] <FrostCS> yea, then it's b69 (been there for a few weeks)
[03:27:28] <FrostCS> I wish I was more of a networking expert..
[03:28:06] <FrostCS> well, you can always hang around and see if gdamore returns, or post on the mailing list about it.
[03:29:20] <tsp> apparently I have a mac compatible scsi adapter, not going to help me much over here.
[03:29:54] <tsp> if :driver,aapl,macos,powerpc is anything to go by
[03:31:18] <Tempt> What the hell is gcj?
[03:31:48] <alanc> isn't that the GNU java compiler?
[03:31:58] *** SYS64738 has quit IRC
[03:32:09] <Tempt> You're kidding, right?
[03:32:33] <Tempt> Man, I give up. You'd think people would manage to build *java* apps that weren't overloaded with GNUisms
[03:33:03] <alanc> GCJ: The GNU Compiler for Java: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
[03:33:23] <Tempt> If I can't get it to build without I'm not going to bother.
[03:34:06] <tsp> heh
[03:34:39] <Tempt> Bloody GNU can go die in a fire.
[03:34:56] <Tempt> I think I'm going to re-write the few GNU tools I actually use so I can boycott the entire project.
[03:35:04] <tsp> gnu made some good utils though
[03:35:05] <tsp> like grep
[03:35:10] <tsp> well, gnu grep
[03:35:13] <Tempt> And I'll license the tools under CDDL as a further raised finger.
[03:36:13] <Tempt> tsp: Which particular feature makes GNU grep your favourite?
[03:36:27] <nachox> recursive?
[03:36:28] <tsp> yup
[03:36:39] <nachox> use find!
[03:36:42] <tsp> forgot what else, but I don't think solaris grep has that unless I missed it
[03:37:11] <tsp> oh, find . -exec grep pattern {} \;? forgot about that one
[03:37:32] <brendang> \; is bad. use +
[03:37:57] <tsp> +? never heard of that one
[03:37:57] <nachox>  you probably want find only to show regular files though
[03:38:04] <brendang> tsp: try it
[03:38:13] <nachox> i never heard about + either
[03:38:18] <Bartman007> I'll stick with gnu grep, I'd prefer to not spawn a few thousand grep processes :-P
[03:38:21] <brendang> it is in the man page
[03:38:31] <Tempt> Adding shit like -r is not in the UNIX spirit of small simple tools that do their job well
[03:38:38] <nachox> in fact all the exec examples i've seen were using \;
[03:38:41] <Tempt> The GNU spirit is large complex tools that break things in creative ways
[03:38:44] <brendang> boyd taught me about the + a long time ago....
[03:38:46] <Tempt> (eg, emacs)
[03:39:04] <Bartman007> Tempt: most of the gnu userland is a far cry from emacs....
[03:39:09] <tsp> emacs is weird. gnu ed on the other hand kicks solaris's ed around like a basketball
[03:39:48] <Tempt> Bartman007: It's all a bit wierd and tries deliberately to be *different* to UNIX.
[03:39:55] <Tempt> and rolls in crap that isn't required.
[03:40:20] <nachox> some stuff is actually nice, they did a good job with sed
[03:40:31] <Tempt> Besides, grep regex $(find ...)
[03:40:34] <nachox> long options are a pain in the ass
[03:40:40] *** sparc-kly has quit IRC
[03:40:41] <Bartman007> Tempt: of course it tries to be different than unix, remember what it stands for?

[03:41:09] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sparc-kly
[03:43:05] <bda> I wonder if it's hilarious if /advocacy/immigrants/ links to benr's Sol10 intro, which uses the phrase "people who know their shit."
[03:43:29] *** yippi has joined #opensolaris
[03:43:34] <Bartman007> IIRC, alot (most?) of the GNU userland that deviates from the exact POSIX standard have a POSIX mode.
[03:43:49] <brendang> GNU sed, grep good? well, ok, they are nice enhancements from AT&T's Unix tools. But how many GNU tools are original, innovative?
[03:44:10] <nachox> i didnt say they were innovative
[03:44:16] <nachox> i said they were good
[03:44:20] <Tempt> GNU hello world
[03:44:24] <tsp> lol
[03:44:27] <Tempt> That's a mighty impressive innovation
[03:44:30] <Tempt> Over 5000 lines of code
[03:44:34] <brendang> ok, they are good.
[03:44:46] <elektronkind> wget and screen come to mind.
[03:44:54] <nachox> other gnu stuff sucks
[03:44:57] <Tempt> I don't think either actually started as GNU projects.
[03:45:15] <nachox> ls, find, tar come into my mind
[03:45:32] <tsp> tar xzf, makes our lives easier
[03:45:33] <Tempt> Discussion of GNU tar is forbidden under the not_today_schily act of 2005
[03:45:41] <nachox> lol
[03:45:47] <Tempt> UNIX find works fine
[03:46:05] <Tempt> GNU ls I'll pay, because I do like colour ls
[03:46:08] <Tempt> is pretty!
[03:46:17] <nachox> please!
[03:46:35] <nachox> the first thing i ever do when i start a redhat console is unalias ls
[03:46:39] <bda> pft. -F should be good enough for anyone!
[03:46:49] <Tempt> Hmm, since we have 256 colour terminals these likes, perhaps we could *enhance* gnuls colour support
[03:46:50] <brendang> Tempt: you want colours? I did write "gwhiz" - which can colourise anything, not just ls....
[03:46:59] <Tempt> The older the file, the darker the colour
[03:47:09] <Tempt> That way you can see the new updates by looking for the sparklies
[03:47:16] <Tempt> brendang: Oh, from your *special* toolkit.
[03:47:23] <tsp> nachox: heh, unalias ls, rm, cp, mv, set editor/visual to ed, that usually fixes most of the problems linux throws at me
[03:47:23] <Bartman007> Tempt: new files have to BLINK!
[03:47:37] <nachox> tsp, hahah
[03:47:43] <richlowe> brendang: but does your ed syntax highlight?
[03:47:45] <richlowe> brendang: and if not, why not?
[03:47:48] <nachox> tsp, rm is not aliased unless youre root
[03:48:13] <tsp> nachox: I always type rm -rf out of habbit now. I don't even know why I need the f, but its always there :)
[03:48:27] <brendang> richlowe: that would be useful. so long as it highlighted COBOL, SNOBOL, APL, FORTRAN-77, DCL...
[03:48:28] <nachox> force?
[03:48:51] <tsp> heh
[03:49:04] * tsp goes to check just what it forces that -r won't already get
[03:49:05] <Tempt> We've all had colour terminals for a long time now, and I really don't mind interactive-only tools being colourful. I always call /bin/ls directly in scripts to ensure no GNUisms (in the rare cases where one needs ls in a script)
[03:49:06] <Gman> colordtrace!
[03:49:26] <nachox> tsp, r is recursive
[03:49:40] <tsp> gotta love pipes
[03:49:50] <tsp> ls -1 | sort -n | tail -1, or ls -1 | wc -l
[03:49:56] <brendang> Gman: I've used colour in dtrace scripts a number of times now. usually for demos, putting different layers of the software stack in different colours (red == kernel, blue == lib*, etc)
[03:50:09] <Gman> brendang, yeah, but we need a #pragma ;)
[03:50:23] <brendang> Gman: ahh
[03:50:30] <brendang> Gman: #pragma D option color
[03:50:40] <Gman> you know, for when colorls becomes the default ;)
[03:50:40] <Tempt> When I installed Gentoo Linux on my SunPCi card, I noticed it ships with a colour *grep*
[03:50:43] <Tempt> That's wrong ...
[03:50:47] <mritun_> ok
[03:50:49] <mritun_> not good
[03:50:54] <LeftWing> hah
[03:50:55] <mritun_> xfce started
[03:51:06] <mritun_> but "tips & tricks" window is blank :-/
[03:51:06] <richlowe> uh, GNU grep is colorized.
[03:51:10] <nachox> Tempt, err, gnu grap does colors too, and gentoo sucks... :P
[03:51:11] <richlowe> grep --color, same opts as ls
[03:51:19] <nachox> *grep
[03:51:33] <tsp> why would you want a color grep? one color for the filename, another for the text?
[03:51:44] * mritun_ thought grap ==> GNUfied crap
[03:51:45] <richlowe> tsp: it highlights the match, I guess.
[03:51:46] <flyingparchment> tsp: colouring the matched text i assume
[03:51:47] <Tempt> "./src/gpmisc.c", line 97: undefined symbol: fdopen64
[03:51:56] <Tempt> Is fdopen64 a GNUism/glibcism?
[03:51:59] <LeftWing> Hah, match highlighting.  That's neat.
[03:52:00] <flyingparchment> i don't see why you'd need colours though, VMS search did it with just bold
[03:52:05] <tsp> heh, emacspeak and c-s tried to do that
[03:52:09] <Tempt> bold is effectively a colour
[03:52:14] <tsp> with different voices - it gets really annoying really fast
[03:52:29] <Gman> alanc, [slap head time, huh?]
[03:52:41] <LeftWing> bold/colour/underlining/whatever -- they're all highlighting mechanisms.
[03:53:37] <flyingparchment> Tempt: i see no fdopen64 on my linux system
[03:54:14] <Tempt> Aah, I'll dig around a bit more
[03:54:20] <Tempt> compiling ghostscript
[03:54:26] <flyingparchment> don't see it on solaris either - but i suppose it would make sense to exist..
[03:54:41] <flyingparchment> (lf64(5) doesn't mention it)
[03:55:22] <elektronkind> [daleg@solaris1]~$ nm /usr/lib/libc.so |grep fdopen64 ; echo $?
[03:55:23] <elektronkind> 1
[03:55:29] <elektronkind> nooop. not on solaris
[03:55:58] <Triskelios> Tempt: fdopen64 is not in glibc, fwiw...
[03:56:15] <Triskelios> maybe a BSDism
[03:56:28] <tsp> why do people insist on putting newly quoted email text at the bottom of everything that went before?
[03:56:28] <flyingparchment> google suggests it's a Cygwinism
[03:56:39] <nachox> why dont you look for that function in the source browser?
[03:56:43] <flyingparchment> or maybe newlib, i think that's what cygwin uses as libc
[03:56:51] <Triskelios> flyingparchment: interesting
[03:57:40] <alanc> Gman: you can choose fully-compatible or available today - but not yet both - give us a little time

[03:59:51] <Gman> :)

[04:01:22] <Gman> yep

[04:02:38] <alanc> guess I get my own head-slapping moment now
[04:02:48] <Bartman007> tsp: because most people want a bit of context.
[04:03:03] <tsp> ah
[04:03:12] <Tempt> [11:56] <LeftWing> COLOURED GREP IS THE WIN.
[04:03:19] <tsp> damn vmware is killing itself every time it tries to boot solaris

[04:54:40] <Gman> strange
[04:54:43] <bda> http://bwitz.com/leibniz_newton.jpg # Ha!
[04:55:03] <eboutilier_> Gman: Saw your message about website admin privs...
[04:55:12] <Gman> eboutilier_, ah, yes?
[04:55:50] <eboutilier_> What you can do is make yourself a "leader" temporarily, then you can edit the page.
[04:56:10] <richlowe> Yup.
[04:56:17] <Gman> eboutilier_, sick.
[04:56:22] <richlowe> Gman: (which is why stevel seems to appear and disappear in various places...)
[04:56:25] <Gman> but entirely doable ;)
[04:56:32] <Triskelios> laca created SUNWgamin, apparently. don't know why it's under SUNW, maybe it's referenced in the ARC proposal

[04:59:18] <Gman> richlowe, plus it's good to know where things are

[04:59:47] * Gman smacks eboutilier_ :)
[04:59:49] <eboutilier_> You're a site admin so you can change user profiles, so change yours to be a leader of the project you wan to edit.
[05:00:22] <eboutilier_> Logical in a twisted way.
[05:00:30] <eboutilier_> A way only Java programmers would  think of :-)
[05:00:54] <Gman> so evil :)
[05:02:36] <eboutilier_> Oh, by the way, once you're a leader of that project you'll have access to add/delete leaders from it, including yourself when you're done!

[05:04:27] * eboutilier_ starts hearing tubular bells
[05:04:31] <Gman> eboutilier_, updating users is pretty slow
[05:04:33] <jmcp> it's ok, joerg isn't here right now
[05:04:40] <Gman> eboutilier_, for my next trick i need to get mysql access :)
[05:04:49] <eboutilier_> Gman: You wanted speed?

[06:05:13] <elektronkind> ISTR a way to get a box to crash by changing /'s inode

[06:06:51] *** jmcp has quit IRC
[06:07:05] <richlowe> apparently he does, too
[06:07:10] <richlowe> elektronkind: $systemdump
[06:07:17] <richlowe> it does what jmcp said, but with a little more magic.
[06:07:22] <boyd> !reboot -d :)
[06:07:29] <richlowe> boyd: that isn't always effective.
[06:07:34] <boyd> true
[06:07:35] <richlowe> and sometimes, is worse.
[06:07:43] <richlowe> reboot -dqn may be firm enough.
[06:07:46] <boyd> It was a jike anyway
[06:07:49] <boyd> and a joke too
[06:07:50] <elektronkind> I just did a dtrace -w -n 'BEGIN{panic();}'
[06:07:53] <richlowe> but 0'ing %pc always works
[06:07:57] <richlowe> (or it better)
[06:08:04] <boyd> heh
[06:08:20] <elektronkind> finally I might get a core that'll explain these zfs hangs

[06:11:30] <boyd> Hah
[06:12:50] <Tempt> panic a box? You mean STOP-A sync?
[06:13:25] <jmcp> or you could run       panicsys>rip    :c :c

[06:13:56] <boyd> Does anyone know if the SIL Open Font License would be Ok for distribution with OpenSolaris? There are several nice high-qual fonts that we could use.

[06:16:23] <boyd> I will mention it in -discuss
[06:17:16] <jmcp> and documentation community
[06:18:40] <boyd> ?
[06:18:55] <boyd> You mean so they can point people a them to install themself?
[06:19:07] <richlowe> or so they can bake them into their materials, if they wanted...
[06:19:30] <richlowe> plus, anything involving "license" and -discuss, is de facto a horrible idea.
[06:19:34] <richlowe> :)
[06:19:41] <jmcp> boyd: I reckon the G11n/I18n folks would be interested
[06:19:56] <lloy0076> What does http://www.pastebin.ca/659177 actually mean? Does that mean that the Linux linux-pool has 2 processors but could use a third, and the pool_default has 2 processors and could use the other 2?
[06:20:12] <boyd> jmcp: probably...
[06:20:14] <lloy0076> Or does it mean that linux-pool and pool_default get 2 processors and that this is set in stone.

[06:20:29] <bda> What?
[06:21:15] <Tempt> boyd: What's got you poking at fonts, anyway?
[06:21:16] <boyd> lloy0076: I feel like it should be the former... but I'm not sure
[06:21:50] <boyd> Tempt: something like this: http://xkcd.com/214/
[06:22:58] <Tempt> That's a cartoon taking the shit out of wikipedia.
[06:23:13] <Tempt> Amusing as it is ... it isn't clickin'
[06:23:16] <boyd> It's a cartoon taking the shit out of me. That's how I got to fonts.
[06:24:00] <boyd> I can't remember where I started... 3 days ago.
[06:24:37] <lloy0076> boyd: It appears that "objectives" can affect it; given that it seems that the objectives are wt-load, it should be able to manipulate the resources.
[06:24:51] <boyd> W00t. I got autoconf to do my bidding.. now I can do the real work that I'm trying to achieve
[06:24:56] <richlowe> boyd: you'll never find a decent mono font.
[06:24:58] <Tempt> aaaaaaaaaaaah
[06:25:01] <richlowe> also, autoconf never does your bidding.
[06:25:08] <richlowe> it just pretends to, to lull you into a false sense of security.
[06:25:08] <boyd> lloy0076: Yeah, that's kinda the idea I have in minds
[06:25:13] <boyd> Heh
[06:25:49] <bda> Monaco is a decent mono font.
[06:25:50] <boyd> I'm found "lucida sans mono" or something like that to be OK.

[06:26:13] <lloy0076> boyd: My glitch at the moment is trying to get enough stuff to load the damned thing enough to cause it to use more than 2 processors :P
[06:26:24] <boyd> Tempt: all I was doing was getting ./configure --enable-dtrace to do something useful.
[06:26:31] <boyd> Heh
[06:26:36] <boyd> yes > /dev/null ?
[06:26:59] <boyd> Tempt: and by useful I mean "include my code in the build"
[06:27:11] <richlowe> boyd: which shell?
[06:27:13] <Tempt> lloy0076: You're trying to load a machine up? Just find something that parallel compiles well and do a tight loop with gmake -j 999 ; gmake clean
[06:27:26] <boyd> richlowe: zsh ATM
[06:27:34] <Tempt> richlowe: I have an excellent monospaced font.
[06:28:06] <richlowe> and you're about to say 'fixed' or something, aren't you?

[08:12:13] <Drone> alanc (alanc!n=alanc at 192 dot 18.43.225) was last seen in #opensolaris on Thu 16 Aug 2007 02:02 GMT, saying 'guess I get my own head-slapping moment now'.
[08:12:41] <sbahra> heh

[08:13:05] <sbahra> !seen useful license discussion
[08:13:08] <Drone> I've never seen useful license discussion talk in #opensolaris.
[08:13:11] <sbahra> g4lt-mordant, :-D
[08:16:10] <e^ipi> my question for alanc is technical and not religious, i assure you
[08:17:10] <g4lt-mordant> I just got reminded of drone by your comment ;)
[08:17:20] <richlowe> e^ipi: what is it?
[08:17:48] <e^ipi> richlowe: wondering if I can cram an apple PPC video card in to my sparc & expect it to work
[08:18:24] <e^ipi> because Sun's framebuffers don't use vesa sync on 16:10 resolutions, only on 4:3
[08:18:52] *** Drone has quit IRC
[08:19:03] <oxygene> e^ipi: if you can live with it not providing an obp console (and thus, probably solaris console), then likely yes
[08:19:20] <e^ipi> I see....
[08:19:30] <oxygene> it _might_ work even with console
[08:19:31] *** timelyx has quit IRC
[08:19:46] <tsp> noooo, S10U3 zfs and B66zfs are incompatible
[08:19:48] <e^ipi> could I use the FFB2 as the console, and setup X to use the radeon ?
[08:19:54] <oxygene> should work
[08:19:55] <g4lt-mordant> ITYM "16x9", HTH
[08:20:00] <e^ipi> fantastic.
[08:20:06] <richlowe> g4lt-mordant: I don't think he did.
[08:20:10] <e^ipi> g4lt-mordant: what?
[08:20:11] <richlowe> I think he meant 8:5 ;)
[08:20:14] <oxygene> but apple does some weird stuff in their fcode (ppc binary blob with driver for the OS), and I think they leave out some other things
[08:20:15] <tsp> I swear, this day is getting worse and worse
[08:20:21] <e^ipi> no, i meant 16:10
[08:20:27] <g4lt-mordant> HD is 16:9, by the specs
[08:20:33] <e^ipi> the native res is 1600x1000
[08:20:36] <oxygene> g4lt-mordant: 16:10 is "a bit more" for the media controls
[08:20:49] <e^ipi> and sun's cards can do 16:10
[08:20:58] <e^ipi> but evidently not in VESA mode
[08:20:59] <tsp> Will Sun care if I download every version of OpenSolaris as its released?
[08:21:28] <g4lt-mordant> right, wouldn't want to be exactly like ATSC, that'd be too easy to make multifunction equipment
[08:23:02] <g4lt-mordant> e^ipi, which radeon, might I ask?
[08:23:11] <e^ipi> mac radeon 7000
[08:23:35] <e^ipi> they're pretty common
[08:23:58] <e^ipi> I dunno if 3d will work, I suspect not
[08:24:03] <g4lt-mordant> in that case, the proper question is "can I cram an XVR-100 clone into my sparc"
[08:24:14] <e^ipi> but i'm more interested in a 2d desktop that doesn't look like ass than I am about 3d
[08:24:19] <g4lt-mordant> mac radeon 7000 == XVR100
[08:24:45] <e^ipi> can the xvr100 do 1600x1000 with VESA and not SOG sync?
[08:24:59] <g4lt-mordant> second question, why not just get a full-on XVR100?
[08:25:20] <g4lt-mordant> it's the same card, the only differencee is the firmware
[08:26:30] <e^ipi> because I need a specific resolution with vesa sync
[08:26:37] <e^ipi> and none of the other Sun cards can do it
[08:27:32] <g4lt-mordant> well, like I said the XVR100 is a mac radeon 7000 with some firmware changes to make it look nice for obp
[08:28:49] <e^ipi> http://www.sun.com/desktop/products/graphics/xvr1000/specs.html <-- under "resolutions supported", if I can find a spec sheet like that for xvr-100, i'll consider it
[08:29:07] <Tempt> Get a 600
[08:29:13] <Tempt> much faster
[08:29:24] <g4lt-mordant> it used to be on sunsolve before they raped it
[08:29:36] <e^ipi> Tempt: no... it leaves me with the same problem I have now
[08:29:39] <g4lt-mordant> hang on, let me find it on the old mirror
[08:29:44] <e^ipi> my 16:10 monitor is unsupported by the card
[08:29:49] <Tempt> aaaaaaah.
[08:30:08] <e^ipi> because the card is brain-dead, and won't use VESA sync on anything but 4:3 resolutions
[08:30:29] <Tempt> XVR-600 has DVI and your problems go away
[08:30:35] <Tempt> Unless you bought a display with no DVIV.
[08:30:36] <Tempt> DVI
[08:30:38] <Tempt> In which case ...
[08:30:39] <Tempt> pwned
[08:30:49] <toblun> tsp: No, why sould they?
[08:31:15] <e^ipi> my monitor has DVI
[08:31:33] <Tempt> Well, there you go.
[08:31:47] <Tempt> Get a framebuffer that does DVI and connect by DVI and DVI your way to DVI happiness
[08:32:11] <e^ipi> does DVI still not require syncing?
[08:32:33] <e^ipi> also, look at the sheet again... 1600x1000 is unsupported on anything but 13w3

[08:36:54] *** Drone has joined #opensolaris
[08:37:12] <Tempt> xvr-100 doesn't have 13w3
[08:38:08] *** slowhog has left #opensolaris
[08:38:51] <sunmaster> I am reading this word "framebuffer" again and again on forums/chats/MLs of Unix-near communities: Can someone, please, explain me the difference between framebuffer and graphics card?
[08:39:02] <Tempt> Possible values are: 1600x1000x66, 1600x1000x76.
[08:39:11] <Tempt> that's from fbconfig on my xvr-600 enabled machine
[08:39:18] <tsp> toblun: don't they have to pay for all the bandwidth we use to download it?
[08:39:20] <Tempt> so not ideal, no.
[08:39:21] <WickedWicky> heya Tempt
[08:39:27] <Tempt> Heya WW
[08:39:47] <oxygene> sunmaster: graphics card implies that it's a plugin card - framebuffer is an older term, which merely describes the functionality
[08:40:10] <toblun> tsp: Sure they have to. But still, I dont think they mind...
[08:40:24] <tsp> toblun: I guess if they did, they'd set up rsync servers
[08:40:53] <sunmaster> oxygene, Thanks.
[08:43:08] <Triskelios> sunmaster: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framebuffer also describes the evolution of graphics chipsets from framebuffers
[08:43:11] <g4lt-mordant> e^ipi, oh, hey, cnet agreees with me about the XVR100, but what the fuck do I know http://reviews.cnet.com/graphics-cards/sun-xvr-100-graphics/4507-8902_7-32508129.html?tag=nav
[08:44:41] <Triskelios> for the XVR 100, the tables linked from http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/819-3290-12/chap1.intro.html#pgfId-999203 seems sort of authoritative

[08:49:52] * WickedWicky sheds a tear. I have an uptime of more than 12 hours after compiling onnv-gate
[08:50:00] <WickedWicky> xcuse me while I have an emo moment
[08:51:28] <e^ipi> Triskelios: notice the table which states that the only VESA resolution is 1600x1200... which is a 4:3 res., and not a 16:9/16:10
[08:51:46] <e^ipi> making it quite useless to me
[08:53:12] <Triskelios> yes, you're SOL. 1600x1000 probably won't turn out so well, either
[08:53:44] <WickedWicky> you wanna connect a widescreen to a framebuffer?
[08:53:57] *** FunkyELF has joined #opensolaris
[08:54:14] <FunkyELF> seriously....how stable is zfs right now on opensolaris express edition?
[08:54:18] <e^ipi> WickedWicky: i want to connect a widescreen to a SPARC framebuffer & have it use some sort of 16:9 or 16:10 resolution
[08:54:40] <WickedWicky> I wasnt aware there were VESA standards for widescreen
[08:54:51] <Triskelios> FunkyELF: good enough for small sites, at least
[08:54:51] <g4lt-mordant> FunkyELF, I'm using it quite happily on both my laptop and my U60
[08:55:00] <WickedWicky> or that widescreen existed when they made those standards
[08:55:06] <e^ipi> there are vesa standards for syncing, and sun standards for syncing...
[08:55:15] <boyd> Tempt: spleen good.. still got people here
[08:55:24] <FunkyELF> I'm thinking about running a server with samba and apache (with php and mysql)
[08:55:33] <e^ipi> they are not the same thing, and my monitor only supports vesa (as it is not a sun product)
[08:55:46] <FunkyELF> I was going to do the software raid thing, but then I read about ZFS and how it was better than raid 5
[08:56:23] *** phimic has joined #opensolaris
[08:56:32] <g4lt-mordant> yeah, on my U60, I use it to make a JBOD a single pool, and it works well.  it even survives a flaky disk now
[08:56:34] <Triskelios> e^ipi: that is what sync on screen adapters are for
[08:56:58] <FunkyELF> g4lt-mordant, you don't use raid-z?
[08:57:07] <g4lt-mordant> ust zpool
[08:57:29] <FunkyELF> ust?
[08:57:31] <FunkyELF> just?
[08:57:35] <bobbyz> e^ipi: as WickedWicky pointed out, 1600x1000 is not a standard vesa resolution.
[08:57:47] <nrubsig> does anyone here have a T1/T2-based machine ?
[08:58:07] <FunkyELF> so zpool can't survive a disk failure but raidz can and is better than raid5?
[08:58:11] <Triskelios> bobbyz: neither is 1600x1050 afaik, but that works with most video cards
[08:58:18] <Triskelios> FunkyELF: correct
[08:58:23] <g4lt-mordant> maybe when I get the round tuit to make the JBOD into a useful size, I may make it a raidz, but right now it's just a 711 stuffed with 18's, no point in raiding it
[08:58:25] <e^ipi> DVI may solve the problem, but I'm not willing to drop $200 on a sun framebuffer to test out a theory
[08:59:02] <g4lt-mordant> well, zpool can survive disk failure, FSVO failure
[08:59:17] <e^ipi> i'd rather spend $15-20 on an ancient mac framebuffer that works 90% of the way ( console excluded ) which I know can drive the monitor properly
[09:00:02] <FunkyELF> what happens when there is a bug found in ZFS?....is there something that comes out and traverses the filesystem and fixes things?

[09:01:20] <gnut> lenovo x60
[09:01:34] *** linux_user400354 has quit IRC
[09:01:59] <WickedWicky> for me it's a bug in the kernel, where it finds the PCI-E2PCI bridge but doesnt look behind it. So the device broadcasts presence but the kernel cant address it properly
[09:02:03] <gnut> i found a hack posted on the forums to edit the firmware so that the pcie bridge can forward memory along?... so now i can plumb the device
[09:02:06] <gnut> but i can't conncet
[09:02:11] <WickedWicky> there is apparently some hack around it to address the memory range manualy
[09:02:17] <WickedWicky> yea tha
[09:02:19] <gnut> yeah
[09:02:22] <WickedWicky> I didnt try that though
[09:02:30] <gnut> it's pretty easy to do
[09:02:33] <gnut> so i can plumb it now
[09:02:36] <WickedWicky> I am using a PCMCIA card now, D-link , works fine
[09:02:41] <WickedWicky> oh really?
[09:02:44] <gnut> but dladm connect-wifi doesn't succeed
[09:02:59] <WickedWicky> hmm
[09:03:02] <Triskelios> FunkyELF: zpool scrub will do an integrity check on the data on-demand... not sure about other corruption, but that almost never happens and is usually caught
[09:03:11] <gnut> WickedWicky: yeah... just go to the command line
[09:03:16] <gnut> run mdb -KF
[09:03:29] <gnut> type 2-3 lines of commands (which i've memorized now :) )
[09:03:32] <gnut> and then that's it.

[09:21:09] <g4lt-mordant> have I mentioned the non-wiseneess of running bzcat SunStudio12-solaris-x86-200705-pkg.tar.bz2| tar xvf - while you have any time constraints?
[09:21:21] <WickedWicky> nope
[09:21:39] <WickedWicky> why run bzcat anyway?
[09:21:39] <WickedWicky> bunzip2 -c
[09:21:40] <g4lt-mordant> okay, it's not too wise
[09:22:03] * FunkyELF goes to bed and thinks about actually burning this iso instead of trying to get it working in virtualbox
[09:22:05] <g4lt-mordant> WickedWicky, which does precisely what that bzcat doesn't do?
[09:22:06] <bobbyz> is sun studio 12 open to the public for download as 11 was?
[09:22:09] <WickedWicky> bunzip2 -c SunStudio12-solaris-x86-200705-pkg.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
[09:22:17] <WickedWicky> yes but that _is_ wise and it works
[09:22:33] <WickedWicky> bzcat does not I presume, other wise it'd be a wise thing to do
[09:22:43] <g4lt-mordant> WickedWicky, it does xactly the same thing in exactly the same timframe
[09:22:54] <WickedWicky> then what is your problem?
[09:22:54] <jmcp> g4lt-mordant: perhaps you should add the "n" flag to tar
[09:23:02] <WickedWicky> it's not like it takes half an hour
[09:23:13] *** mikefut has joined #opensolaris
[09:23:14] <Triskelios> bobbyz: has been for a few months
[09:23:18] <WickedWicky> unless you do it over a serial console
[09:23:23] <WickedWicky> then you should ditch the v
[09:23:24] <bobbyz> Triskelios: sweet!  I had no idea.
[09:23:33] <WickedWicky> hey jmcp
[09:23:43] <Triskelios> bobbyz: it's also on the SXCE DVDs
[09:23:47] <g4lt-mordant> jmcp, just finger memory, I'd guess
[09:24:27] <bobbyz> Triskelios: wonderful.  I'll have to grab it  :)
[09:24:37] <jmcp> g4lt-mordant: yeah, it gets me too
[09:24:40] <jmcp> WickedWicky: hi there
[09:24:45] <WickedWicky> you might be able to speed up things a bit by doing 'tar xf -' instead of 'tar xvf'. I had cases where writing to stdout slowed things down with 20 to 30 percent
[09:25:07] <jmcp> especially over a serial console
[09:25:10] <WickedWicky> yes
[09:25:30] <WickedWicky> or slow framebuffers for that matter
[09:25:32] * g4lt-mordant has ben using the ?zcat | tar xvf so long by now that my fingers would revolt if I didn't do it that way
[09:25:58] <WickedWicky> it's just a suggestion :)
[09:26:18] <bobbyz> I like good ol' gtar jxvf  :)
[09:26:42] * Triskelios always does tar tf first so and so is never compelled to use 'v'
[09:27:00] <bobbyz> that's probably smart
[09:27:30] <WickedWicky> I find it pretty useless to see how tar processes SUNWspro/whatnot/in/some/path
[09:27:34] <WickedWicky> errors will go to stderr anyway
[09:28:12] * g4lt-mordant throws a large muskox at bobbyz

[09:29:23] <sbahra> Gah
[09:29:26] <WickedWicky> seems england is getting closer and closer to us every year... we even have their summers now
[09:29:30] <sbahra> I wanted to install Solaris on my x86 box ;[

[09:48:52] <g4lt-mordant> I think I've finally figured out why SXDE requires so much memory.  it's the craptacular installer it uses instead of pkgadd for the SPRO parts
[09:48:56] *** KermitTheFragger has joined #opensolaris
[09:49:47] <g4lt-mordant> if the installer is any indication, PLEASE stay with susV packaging
[09:50:03] <richlowe> there's pkg* under there.
[09:50:04] <richlowe> (I think)
[09:50:19] <richlowe> but the current SDX installer is a hack for SDX
[09:50:29] <richlowe> snv_70 should be using Dwarf caiman, when it appears, which may or may not suck less.
[09:50:54] <Triskelios> caiman is being integrated already?!
[09:51:05] * g4lt-mordant is taking bets
[09:51:41] <richlowe> dwarf caiman, pretty much just the GUI, I think.
[09:52:26] <g4lt-mordant> richlowe, BTW, it's not just a hack for SDX, it's used by the actual SS12 stuff as weell
[09:52:52] <Triskelios> same installer as Studio11 I think...
[09:54:17] <g4lt-mordant> god save us
[09:54:35] <g4lt-mordant> prodrg FTL
[09:54:50] <richlowe> g4lt-mordant: the studio installer isn't, no.
[09:54:56] <richlowe> g4lt-mordant: the dumbed down solaris+studio install is.
[09:54:58] <lloy0076> Errk

[09:55:25] <Triskelios> g4lt-mordant: er? dwarf caiman has little to do with the current installers
[09:55:26] <richlowe> g4lt-mordant: don't use the DE installer, install studio afterward.
[09:55:49] <Triskelios> lloy0076: check out the demo
[09:56:10] <g4lt-mordant> richlowe, that's what i'm attempting
[09:56:30] <richlowe> g4lt-mordant: depending on your needs, using the CBE studio is probably nicer, too
[09:56:34] <richlowe> given it's just a tarball.
[09:56:37] <richlowe> opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on
[09:56:53] <richlowe> slightly old (compared to the CBE), very old (compared to 'new and shiny').

[10:35:53] *** nostoi has quit IRC
[10:37:56] <Atomdrache> This isn't a Solaris question so much as an old SPARC question.  I typed setenv boot-device disk3 on a SPARCstation IPX and told it to boot.  disk3 refers to sd@0,0, which is what I want.  Previously boot disk3 worked fine.  Well, now the display won't come up when I turn the machine on.  What could cause this?

[10:39:46] <longman> morning!
[10:39:49] <longman> :)
[10:40:49] <g4lt-mordant> Atomdrache, IIRC, the IPX used a really old version of openprom, are you sue that syntax is right?
[10:41:02] <Atomdrache> It didn't give me an error when I entered that.
[10:41:15] <Atomdrache> Just said boot-device = disk3.
[10:41:29] <Atomdrache> OBP is at v2.4 on it, I think.
[10:41:40] <g4lt-mordant> that high?
[10:41:58] <Atomdrache> Yeah, maybe I read it wrong. Or maybe it's been updated by whoever owned it before.
[10:42:01] <Atomdrache> But why would the display refuse to come up?
[10:44:41] <g4lt-mordant> have you tried otehr boot devices and they worked to bring up the screen?
[10:45:14] *** linux_user400354 has quit IRC
[10:45:53] <Atomdrache> I can't try anything right now because I can't get any kind of display.
[10:45:58] <Atomdrache> I'm about to try a serial terminal.
[10:46:17] <Atomdrache> Like, I turn it on and it just stays black.
[10:46:24] <Atomdrache> It's been sitting there for like ten minutes.
[10:46:33] <Atomdrache> No apparent keyboard error codes from POST.
[10:46:40] <Atomdrache> I guess I'll see what the serial terminal tells me.
[10:46:53] *** nikinana has joined #opensolaris

[10:55:20] <Berny> morning

[11:05:56] *** migi has joined #opensolaris
[11:07:24] *** estibi has joined #opensolaris
[11:13:01] <Atomdrache> It can't see anything on the SCSI chain, and it can't see anything on the sbus.
[11:18:53] <Atomdrache> Does anybody know what might cause this?
[11:19:18] <Atomdrache> Like, did some part of my motherboard just relinquish the magic smoke, or is something hosed in the NVRAM that I should fix via OBP?
[11:19:53] <g4lt-mordant> what's the mac showing, numbers or 00.00.00.00.00.00
[11:20:15] <Atomdrache> Numbers.
[11:20:22] <Atomdrache> Hostname and ethernet address seem to be fine.
[11:20:48] <Atomdrache> I suppose by "is something hosed in the NVRAM" I mean "did I do something strange to an environmental variable or some such thing in OBP".
[11:20:57] <g4lt-mordant> well, you can always stop-n to set to defaults
[11:21:23] <Atomdrache> Rather than do that when there may be a problem elsewhere, I'd like to know exactly why it can't see anything on its SBUS or SCSI chain.
[11:21:32] <Atomdrache> Does anythign come to mind which might cause that?
[11:21:39] *** yarihm has joined #OpenSolaris
[11:22:09] <Atomdrache> I exited the operating system, did setenv boot-device disk3, and typed boot.  Now I can only talk to it with a serial terminal and it can't see SBUS or SCSI devices.
[11:23:14] <g4lt-mordant> with an IPX, there's damn little on the SCSI chain inside.  heck, there's damn little on the sbus
[11:24:00] <Atomdrache> Except for a hard drive and a QFE card.
[11:24:05] <Atomdrache> It saw them before.
[11:24:08] <Atomdrache> Now it sees nothing.
[11:24:24] <Atomdrache> I guarantee that this is not normal,
[11:24:34] <Atomdrache> unless my hard drive and QFE both just simultaneously caught fire.
[11:24:45] <g4lt-mordant> QFE?  on a IPX?  talk about pulling a race car with a moped
[11:25:20] <Atomdrache> That isn't the problem, else it would have manifested last month.
[11:25:48] <Atomdrache> I'm asking if you know of anything that would just make all of my SCSI and sbus devices seem to disappear and screw up my input and output device settings.
[11:26:39] <g4lt-mordant> no, it should work even then, FSVO "work".  TBH here, I'd say stop-n and rebuild your aliases rather than worry about what part is b0rked
[11:26:50] <Atomdrache> input_device, meanwhile, has been replaced with something like ".. ...................".
[11:28:01] *** WickedWicky has joined #opensolaris
[11:28:08] <Atomdrache> Also, I don't know what stop-n is on this thing.
[11:28:08] <g4lt-mordant> that's the second alias that's essentially garbage.  I think you overflowed a memory location
[11:28:24] <Atomdrache> I have to use a Macintosh as a terminal because tip wasn't working for some reason.
[11:28:38] <Atomdrache> Overflowed a memory location?  That'd explain a few things.
[11:29:02] <g4lt-mordant> go back to screen and keyboard, since stop-n doesn't really require a working framebuffer
[11:29:33] <Atomdrache> Will that require me to go rewrite all that stuff with the ethernet address and whatnot?
[11:30:01] <Atomdrache> I'll do it if I have to, but this is really annoying.
[11:30:19] *** Snake007uk has joined #opensolaris
[11:30:25] <g4lt-mordant> no, just the aliases.  only time I evere had to manually write the ethernet address was when my NVRAM battery failed
[11:30:54] <Atomdrache> I did that a while ago, which is why I ask :3
[11:31:07] <Atomdrache> (hopefully the only time I need to use a hacksaw on an integrated circuit package)
[11:31:26] <g4lt-mordant> Atomdrache, how much more time are you going to waste troubleshooting when you can have prbably built all th ealiases back in the time you're doing this?
[11:32:38] <Atomdrache> Oi, I'm umplugging and moving it.  Give me a moment.
[11:33:06] <Atomdrache> I've never done that before and frankly don't know anything about resetting all the aliases, hence my hesitation.
[11:33:15] *** bunker has joined #opensolaris
[11:35:05] <Atomdrache> Okay, let's see if I can get a display this time now that I've fixed output-device and input-device.
[11:35:18] <Atomdrache> Honestly, something overflowing and flooding OBP with crap would explain a lot of this.
[11:35:43] <ofu> so U4 will be out in 9 hours?
[11:36:36] *** longman has quit IRC
[11:36:49] <Atomdrache> Oops, forgot setenv diag-switch? false.  This'll take a little while.
[11:37:17] <Atomdrache> (and I still don't know that fixing the input/output devices will let the screen come up or let me send it commands from the keyboard.)

[13:18:13] <lloy0076> I have been shunting data around the place between UFS and ZFS so it's possible I've plonked that much data as a candidate for ZFS' memory caches, but it strikes me as oddly high.

[13:33:13] <kaiwai> hmm, it would be nice if Sun compiled Solaris/StarOffice/whole damn thing pre-binding so that things loaded quicker
[13:33:29] <dlg> solaris has prebinding?
[13:34:10] *** bengtf__ has joined #opensolaris
[13:34:13] *** bengtf__ is now known as bengtf
[13:34:35] <asyd> there is an equivalent iirc
[13:36:27] <oxygene> prebinding is mostly a matter of mangling ELF files the right way - what special support does that need?
[13:37:29] <quasi> why not just do the old emacs trick of loading the proggy and dumping the memory and reloading whenever you need it? ;)
[13:38:16] <kjetilho> nice thing about prebinding is that you can randomise addresses
[13:38:18] <oxygene> quasi: hard to do with shared libraries, inefficient to do if you copy the shared libraries into the dump
[13:38:36] <kjetilho> which makes it harder to make an exploit which works everywhere
[13:39:00] *** Tpenta has quit IRC
[13:39:17] <sneaker> it sounds like something gentoo would do
[13:39:21] <tsoome> damn gnome should be dumped thats all
[13:39:27] <oxygene> dragonfly supports checkpointing of applications.. basically a controlled core dump, with a tool to jump into it later
[13:39:42] <quasi> oxygene: good thing I'm generally ok with just vi then ;)
[13:39:46] <tsoome> its insane if your app will load like 200 libraries, ofc it will be slow like a hell
[13:39:51] *** Kernel86_ has joined #OpenSolaris
[13:39:59] <oxygene> also "resident" - load app, resolve all symbols, and right before jumping into main(), break out of it (but keep the thing in ram)

[13:55:15] *** jamesd_ has quit IRC
[13:55:42] <andyshack> i am so lost. ive got a fileserver and a webserver. the home dirs are on the file server and automount? on the webserver. should i be researching the path from the webserver to the fileserver home to add a user that exists on the file server to the webserver to have their home dir automount ?
[13:56:42] <Cyrille> probably yes.
[13:56:57] <andyshack> thanks Cyrille
[13:57:10] <Cyrille> but I'm not sure I understood the question.
[13:57:23] <PerterB> me either :)
[13:57:27] <andyshack> yeah neither do i as im short on terminoligy
[13:57:58] *** Kernel86_ has joined #OpenSolaris
[13:58:06] <Cyrille> say you have fileserver:/export/home/<people> automounted on your webserver at /home/<people> and you want to add a user to the webserver, then its home should be specified as /home/someone.
[13:58:18] <andyshack> 2 computers, need to add a user. 1 is a dedicated fileserver, the other a dedicated webserver.
[13:58:19] <Cyrille> at least that's what I think I understood you were asking.
[13:58:32] <andyshack> the file server holds use /home
[13:59:05] <andyshack> the webserver "automounts" (is that correct?) eg /home/andy from fileserver:/home/andy when i log in automatically
[13:59:17] *** Hystrix has joined #opensolaris
[14:00:01] <andyshack> or : whats it called when my home dir follows me around different machines ?
[14:00:17] <Cyrille> needy
[14:00:22] <Cyrille> ;-)
[14:00:28] <andyshack> most deff
[14:01:11] <andyshack> its already setup and working, im jsut trying to work out how it works so i can replicate users about the place.
[14:01:28] <andyshack> can you point me to some related keyords that can get me on track with searching ?
[14:02:34] <kjetilho> andyshack: the automounting is not related to logging in, but that someone tries to access the directory
[14:03:00] <kjetilho> so others can do "cd /home/andy" and it will automount if needed
[14:03:23] <andyshack> so is this simply working by having the home dir on the file server available for export and adding a user on the webserver with its home dir pointing to /net/fileserver ?
[14:03:39] <richlowe> /net mounts happen via the automounter.
[14:03:54] <richlowe> I think you want automountd(1M) as far as docs go.
[14:04:09] <andyshack> ok cheers rich

[14:28:42] <Pietro_S> I would try to download fist cd and try if it will boot (if you don't care about bandwith)
[14:28:49] <kaiwai> davidsl: meh, I prefer to compile my own rather than use blastwave
[14:28:53] <Pietro_S> davidsl: try xchat from SFE repository

[14:29:17] <lgodard> Pietro_S: yes, i thought on this - do not have any cd right here but will do
[14:29:36] <lgodard> asyd: yes, with Sophie
[14:29:44] <davidsl> kaiwai, I don't mind compiling my own, but sometimes I can't be bothered.
[14:29:53] <lgodard> but, more for automated tests and tinderbox
[14:30:21] <kaiwai> davidsl: true, the problem is if you download blastwave there is the dependencies and crap that get pulled down as well
[14:30:30] <davidsl> kaiwai, Oh, and I'm an ex-Debian GNU/Linux user...
[14:30:46] <davidsl> kaiwai, So downloading the earth doesn't phase me.
[14:30:55] <kaiwai> davidsl: I'm an ex Amiga/FreeBSD/Mac user :)
[14:31:03] <kaiwai> oops, forgot BBC Micro :P
[14:31:05] <Pietro_S> lgodard: try to to hit stop-a when booting and then boot cdrom
[14:31:19] <hile_> but does having to maintain multiple copies of libraries phase you, davidsl?
[14:31:29] <davidsl> kaiwai, The funniest one I had though was on FreeBSD 4.X - I wanted a TEXT ONLY chat client, so did "make mutt" in /usr/ports/.../mutt only to find it wanted to compile XFree86.
[14:31:34] <davidsl> hile_, Not really.
[14:31:47] <Pietro_S> blastwaves are coward they use gcc on evverything ;-)
[14:31:53] <davidsl> hile_, On a production system, I'd compile things with the same compilers if I had to.
[14:32:06] <trygvis> Pietro_S: eh, wtf? no, they don't. gcc is the exception
[14:32:08] <davidsl> hile_, But this is my home system and if it falls in a heap, it's like, meh. Fix it.
[14:32:09] <kaiwai> davidsl: ah, never used it, I prefer using XBitchX
[14:32:25] <davidsl> kaiwai, Sorry, that was an e-mail client.
[14:32:34] <kaiwai> Pietro_S: I'd love to see Studio everywhere, but everything it compiles, things break quicker than my virginity was
[14:32:41] * davidsl since when has mutt been a chat client - I'm losing my mind
[14:33:02] <davidsl> kaiwai, Well, hopefully we're not all like you're virginity!!!
[14:33:04] <kaiwai> davidsl: I thought it was kinda strange mentioning mutt - does it have Xorg frontend?
[14:33:05] * davidsl ducks for cover
[14:33:17] <kaiwai> lol
[14:33:18] <davidsl> kaiwai, It had some silly dependency in it.
[14:33:25] <Pietro_S> trygvis: really? I didn't check it for long time, but I saw lot's of gcc binaries
[14:33:46] <kaiwai> davidsl: one thing I did like was the ports - heaps of software compileable and up to date
[14:33:59] <davidsl> kaiwai, True, I didn't mind that.
[14:34:22] <davidsl> kaiwai, Though sometimes it's painful to have to wait for something to compile. I started using ports when things took ages to compile (unlike these days).
[14:34:49] <lgodard> Pietro_S: FATAL: OpenBoot initilization sequence prematurely terminated - FATAL: system is not bootable, boot command is disabled
[14:35:06] <kaiwai> lol, reminds me of my PIII 550 compiling KDE on my FreeBSD 4.x machine which took over 2 days to compile from scratch :)
[14:35:21] <kaiwai> then once compiled I found that there was an update to a bug that stopped me from mounting removable media :P
[14:35:28] <davidsl> lol
[14:35:35] <trygvis> Pietro_S: binaries as in *built* with gcc or gcc packages?
[14:35:48] *** hohum has quit IRC
[14:35:50] <kaiwai> trygvis: built with gcc

[14:36:05] <kaiwai> damn, when is sun going to update their gcc included with solaris?
[14:36:09] <Pietro_S> built by gcc
[14:36:19] <davidsl> kaiwai, You could compile it yerself :P
[14:36:59] <kaiwai> davidsl: tried that and it died
[14:36:59] * davidsl brings the channel to a standstill
[14:37:04] <davidsl> heh
[14:37:14] <davidsl> You mean Sun Studio wouldn't compile GCC?
[14:37:16] <kaiwai> well, it compiled but the problem is that it can't find the dependent *.so's
[14:37:17] <davidsl> The sacrilege!
[14:37:29] <kaiwai> and I refused to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[14:37:34] <Pietro_S> trygvis: I thought that everything build by gcc is the reason why blastwave has special copy of gnome libraries
[14:37:45] <kaiwai> nope, compiled it using gcc 3.4.3 included with solaris
[14:37:53] <oxygene> kaiwai: compile with LDFLAGS="-R$rightpath" in configure's environment
[14:38:02] <davidsl> kaiwai: I generally have to fiddle the default library paths to make sure blastwave doesn't fall in a heap.
[14:38:03] <kaiwai> thats what I used
[14:38:39] <Pietro_S> lgodard: sry I won't help you much I don't have around any sparc machine to check right command :-(
[14:38:47] *** axisys has joined #opensolaris
[14:38:49] <kaiwai> oxygene: yeap, I had it setup, -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib (destination for where the *.so would eventually end up)
[14:38:52] <kaiwai> it failed to work
[14:39:01] <lgodard> ok, no problem - thanks a lot Pietro_S
[14:39:27] <oxygene> kaiwai: hmm.. gcc has the speciality that it bootstraps compilers - are you sure that they were still in the build environment of the final build?
[14:39:37] <oxygene> kaiwai: I don't know off-hand how to modify the later passes
[14:39:51] <kjetilho> I wish ld had an option which said, add to rpath all -L paths which were actually used
[14:40:01] <Tempt> gcc has the speciality that it should go away.
[14:40:18] <Tempt> Nearly all compilers are self hosting.
[14:40:23] <kaiwai> oxygene: the main reason why I'm compiling 4.2.1 is so I can compile KDE which isn't compiling with the gcc thats included with solaris
[14:40:41] <kaiwai> I mean, if there were precompiled KDE 3.5.7 binaries I wouldn't try to compile it myself
[14:40:50] <davidsl> kaiwai: Aren't there packages for that (although not official)
[14:40:52] <davidsl> ??
[14:40:57] <oxygene> kaiwai: hmm.. the one in pmpkg (the complete one is in the gnustep hierarchy) worked the last time I tried it
[14:41:00] <Tempt> You think a different gcc will make any real difference?
[14:41:10] <kaiwai> pmpkg?
[14:41:14] <oxygene> kaiwai: and I can't think of any special flags I set
[14:41:17] <kaiwai> tempt: I'll give anaything a go
[14:41:22] <trygvis> Pietro_S: no, that is because it can't depend on what's on the solaris box
[14:41:28] <Pietro_S> kaiwai: newer gcc is also in SFE
[14:41:29] <oxygene> kaiwai: my ports-alike project
[14:41:35] <kaiwai> Tempt: unfortunately when one compiles on Solaris, things break
[14:42:14] <oxygene> though if I really leave solaris (and currently it looks a lot like it), it might bitrot over time if no-one picks it up (and I wouldn't bet on that) *shrug*
[14:42:15] <davidsl> kaiwai: Don't you mean, when you compile GNU specific stuff, it tends to fall apart on Solaris...
[14:42:39] <oxygene> davidsl: gnu projects tend to be portable - the non-gnu opensource stuff has much more problems on non-linux
[14:42:40] <davidsl> oxygene: You're thinking about leaving?
[14:42:46] <Pietro_S> trygvis: thanks for the explanation, and sorry that I mis-acuse blastwave
[14:42:49] <kaiwai> davidsl: na, more "anything" fails to compile; wine 0.9.43 as a prime example

[14:44:19] <oxygene> davidsl: and I have to say this setup works better for me in several regards than solaris proper
[14:44:28] <Pietro_S> trygvis: is there any way how can I see patches which blastwave use to compile with studio?
[14:44:29] <kaiwai> oxygene: who ever released 0.9.43 without checking whether it compiles needs to have an eletric cattle prod up the jaxy
[14:45:06] <davidsl> hmmm
[14:45:07] <oxygene> kaiwai: it compiles.. this time it's the fault of solaris: too many headers with various symbols polluted (without _ prefix)

[14:46:43] <kaiwai> yeap, thats the one
[14:46:59] <kaiwai> oh, and sound is screwed up too - play something using it, and find that sound is buggered till the next reboot
[14:47:05] <oxygene> kaiwai:  LDFLAGS="-R$TARGET/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -R/usr/sfw/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -R/usr/X11R6/lib" CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/X11R6/include"
[14:47:15] <oxygene> kaiwai: with that, wine finds practically everything here
[14:47:40] <kaiwai> thats ok, got that end all sorted, but the Xft headers missing is annoying
[14:48:11] <kaiwai> when B69 is installed the link points to a non-existant directory
[14:49:55] <Pietro_S> trygvis: no I meant patches for other software, which they use to force to compile with suncc
[14:51:08] <kaiwai> in an ideal world, everytime something doesn't work with suncc the maintain of that said programmer is electricuted
[14:51:13] <kaiwai> *maintainer
[14:51:44] <oxygene> uh, so where's the complete guide to solaris and suncc bugs?
[14:52:11] <kaiwai> well, they're not necessarily bugs, more...features, yes, features :)
[14:52:27] <oxygene> like struct version?
[14:52:50] <Gekkko[PDA]> hai
[14:52:56] *** davidsl has quit IRC
[14:52:57] <oxygene> or backtrace()
[14:53:00] <kaiwai> yeap, of course there are loads of stupid tihings in solaris
[14:53:16] <kaiwai> like I said, look at all the f*cking stupid links everywhere for instance
[14:53:17] <oxygene> or #define SS
[14:53:50] <trygvis> Pietro_S: for most of the packages you can see the patches in the files/ directory of the package at svn.blastwave.org

[15:47:22] <Gekkko[PDA]> tuna chicken sa/lad
[15:49:12] <kaiwai> interesting to see the linux/vmware jihad occuring over at osnews.com

[15:49:49] <FrostCS> oh wait.. were in #opensolaris
[15:49:56] <FrostCS> it's alright, we all make mistakes kaiwai
[15:50:49] <kaiwai> FrostCS: no, just seeing the crap in the Linux community and thinking "thank god this commity doesn't have people like that"
[15:50:54] <kaiwai> then you popped up
[15:51:05] <oxygene> heh
[15:51:55] <FrostCS> we aren't a linux chat, and we aren't a vmware chat..
[15:52:31] <FrostCS> therefore, it's irrelevant ...
[15:53:20] <oxygene> kaiwai: nasty boy, you just killed all opensolaris discussions in here by your mention of linux and vmware!
[15:53:31] <oxygene> .o0O oh, the talk before was about tuna and chicken
[15:54:08] <kaiwai> hmm, my cat likes both
[15:54:16] <FrostCS> well, there was an non-descriptive question, so I simply followed it up with another :-)
[15:54:51] <oxygene> that non-descriptive question didn't have anything to do with opensolaris, either :-)
[15:55:51] <kjetilho> anyone know how mirrored root works with GRUB?
[15:56:14] <oxygene> kjetilho: simply choose one or the other in grub?
[15:56:32] <kjetilho> no, I mean, my install can't find the md device.
[15:56:33] <FrostCS> oxygene, of course it did, it's a question regarding which is better for lunch while working with opensolaris.
[15:56:47] <kjetilho> and I wonder if reason is that the boot-archive has no MD configuration?
[15:57:33] <oxygene> might be - did you update it?

[16:01:24] <splunk> Hi All...I'm running Solaris 10 and I'm having serious issues mounting my usb hard drive...I was able to mount my usb thumb drive no problem and its even formatted with FAT 32....the system sees the device but no go...when I try to mount it says mount /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:c is not a DOS file system
[16:04:21] <splunk> any takers??
[16:06:31] <kjetilho> hrm...  why is boot_archive needed, anyway?
[16:07:25] <kjetilho> I guess it's due to it being easier to switch the root when it's a pure RAM disk?  ie. converting from mounting one side of the mirror to the md device is hard?
[16:07:51] <splunk> um
[16:07:58] <kjetilho> if so, the MD configuration needs to be inside it, though?
[16:08:19] <splunk> why is this so difficult to be honest....I was able to fdisk my thumb drive..and mounted just as I noted before just a different disk and it worked fine
[16:09:36] *** logic has quit IRC
[16:09:40] *** logic_ has joined #opensolaris
[16:09:53] <Berny__> splunk: try the next partition on that drive?
[16:09:56] <splunk> i did
[16:09:57] <splunk> haha
[16:10:08] <splunk> theres only one partition though
[16:10:14] <splunk> i only created one...i can go back and create two
[16:10:18] <splunk> FAT 32 and say SOl12
[16:10:24] <splunk> or maybe Unix = UFS ?
[16:10:38] <Berny__> well if you created just one, then there is probably just one
[16:11:00] <Berny__> did you partition and format that drive under solaris?
[16:11:03] <FrostCS> you might want to take a look at http://blogs.sun.com/SteveJay/date/20041130
[16:11:06] *** Berny__ is now known as Berny
[16:11:08] <FrostCS> it's a similar issue
[16:11:14] <splunk> yes I formated and FDISK under Solaris
[16:11:51] <splunk> hmm
[16:12:12] <FrostCS> if I don't answer the phone once.. why do people keep calling? jeez
[16:12:36] <LeftWing> FrostCS: Perhaps you're the Go-To Person?
[16:12:41] <FrostCS> I hate people who ignore my voicemail
[16:13:14] <FrostCS> well now they can only talk to my voicemail since I perma-forward them to my vm.
[16:13:56] <kaiwai> hmm, is it possible to tarball a complete OS, throw it onto a dvd, create a zfsroot boot then copy it back?
[16:13:56] <kjetilho> anyone here doing mirrored root on Solaris/x86?
[16:14:17] <Berny> kjetilho: yes
[16:14:29] <FrostCS> probably a lot of people kjetilho
[16:14:45] <kjetilho> Berny: can you check what bootadm list-archive says?
[16:14:52] <kjetilho> FrostCS: I would imagine that, too
[16:15:09] <kjetilho> Berny: e.g., is /etc/lvm/mddb.cf listed?
[16:15:16] <Berny> works fine as long nope
[16:15:19] <Berny> not listetd
[16:15:25] <kjetilho> and not /kernel/drv/md.conf either?
[16:15:34] <Berny> nope
[16:15:36] <kjetilho> hmm, how does this thing work, then?
[16:15:40] <Berny> just kernel
[16:15:54] <Berny> dunno if that includes the whole dir tree under kernel though
[16:16:20] <splunk> no go
[16:16:26] <kjetilho> hmm.
[16:16:49] <splunk> i've formated the drive and fdisk using
[16:16:52] <splunk> format -e
[16:16:56] <Berny> but where it boots from is also in /boot/solaris/bootenv.rc

[16:17:25] <kjetilho> ah, good point
[16:17:41] <renihs> gruml, netapp fas 270 and no default passwords around ...great
[16:17:56] <splunk> why am I able to mount my usb thumb drive so easily
[16:18:08] <kjetilho> Berny: did you do the install using Jumpstart, or did you mirror root after the fact?
[16:18:19] <Berny> mirrored after install
[16:18:53] <elektronkind> kjetilho: boot archive is like initrd in linux
[16:18:59] <elektronkind> serves the same funciton
[16:19:00] <Berny> borked it with liveupgrade, cause /sbin/biosdev fscked up the identical disks and so grub failed to get it right
[16:19:04] <FrostCS> splunk, I can't find any details on it for opensolaris, it looks like it's a solaris-ish bug only..
[16:19:05] <kjetilho> I couldn't get mirrored root to work out of the box on SPARC either, but there I found a workaround for the postinstall script :/
[16:19:38] <Berny> so i fixed that by editing bootenv.rc, booted the fresh update, mirrored again
[16:19:40] <elektronkind> kjetilho: are you running metaroot after creating the mirror for /?
[16:19:42] <kjetilho> elektronkind: I guess this means it only needs /kernel/drv/md.conf and not /etc/lvm/mddb.cf to start up MD sufficiently, then?
[16:19:50] <Berny> haven't tried lu again yet
[16:19:51] *** jHoNDoE has quit IRC
[16:19:52] <FrostCS> isn't mirroring a root like a simple command with SVM?
[16:19:55] <kjetilho> elektronkind: the work is done by Jumpstart
[16:20:19] <kjetilho> but yes, it runs metaroot or something like it
[16:20:24] <Berny> FrostCS: 4 or 5 commands iirc
[16:20:29] *** EchoBinary has joined #opensolaris
[16:20:51] <Berny> metainit twice, lockfs, metaroot it should be
[16:21:03] <splunk> yea
[16:21:05] <kaiwai> anyone used zfs for root/boot?
[16:21:07] <splunk> its really pissing me off
[16:21:28] <kjetilho> Berny: so you're suggesting to do it in my S99firstboot script instead? :-/
[16:21:29] <Berny> splunk: whats rmformat -l telling you?
[16:21:51] <Berny> kjetilho: i would do it manually if its just one box
[16:22:05] *** Tpenta has joined #opensolaris
[16:22:10] <splunk> um it sees the device
[16:22:19] <splunk> thats not a problem
[16:22:35] <splunk> just can't mount it
[16:22:45] <splunk> so pissed
[16:22:52] <Berny> ah wait
[16:22:57] <asyd> are you sure it's not mounted on /media?
[16:22:58] <Berny> thats sol10 you said?
[16:22:59] <kjetilho> Berny: well...  I might end up having to do that, but it's potentially a common occurence to reinstall the boxes
[16:23:04] <splunk> yea
[16:23:27] <kaiwai> does the installer detect zfs and able to install on there?
[16:23:34] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Tpenta
[16:23:56] <Berny> i vaguely remember an issue where the header in the fat32 partition was "wrong" which let sol assume it's not a fat32 fs on there
[16:24:14] <splunk> mount: /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:c is not a DOS filesystem
[16:24:15] <Berny> kaiwai: not yet as far as i know
[16:24:27] <kaiwai> :-(
[16:24:32] <splunk> what i'm doing is ....mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c7t0d0p0:c /dsk1
[16:24:36] <kaiwai> trying to find a way to move from UFS to ZFS
[16:24:57] <splunk> but my usb thumb drive is FAT 32
[16:24:58] <FrostCS> you can LU fine through ZFS
[16:24:59] <tsoome> its a bit early:)
[16:25:10] <splunk> and I mounted that not problem
[16:25:39] <FrostCS> splunk usb memory sticks, and hard drives are a bit different
[16:25:46] <splunk> yea
[16:25:48] <FrostCS> most usb memory sticks are also automounted.
[16:25:51] <splunk> yup
[16:25:58] <splunk> that too
[16:26:10] <FrostCS> yet you've said you have deleted the partition in solaris, and reformatted it?
[16:26:21] <kaiwai> FrostCS: so if I created a ZFS partition, loaded up the installer, it would detect it?
[16:26:36] *** baijiutong has quit IRC
[16:26:39] <FrostCS> kaiwai, LU doesn't use the installer
[16:26:43] <splunk> even when I trun a cfgadm it sees it on usb4/6
[16:27:00] <Berny> splunk: opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=95115
[16:27:03] <kaiwai> hmm, ok
[16:27:09] <Berny> that could be your issue?
[16:27:15] <splunk> let me take a look
[16:27:57] <splunk> haha and I do have a seagate..let me keep reading
[16:30:00] <kaiwai> FrostCS: I assume with LU you need to have Solaris already installed on it :(

[16:32:04] <kaiwai> ok
[16:32:07] <kaiwai> I'll try it tomorrow
[16:32:14] <FrostCS> splunk, you've already formatted the drive under solaris, and it still won't read? is that correct?
[16:32:37] <Berny> splunk: if there are no data on this disk just flat it over again...
[16:32:44] <FrostCS> I'd be interested to see if that would still be the case under SX, since there is a lot of new drivers included.
[16:33:03] <FrostCS> what is the make/model of the drive also?
[16:33:41] *** Chihan has joined #OpenSolaris

[16:34:14] *** jfndi has quit IRC

[16:39:52] <FrostCS> why? heh
[16:40:05] <splunk> because thats what I was playing with at the time
[16:40:11] <splunk> what FS should I try instead?

[16:40:18] *** hile_ has quit IRC
[16:40:18] <splunk> UFS?
[16:40:56] <FrostCS> I thought you had it all as FAT32?
[16:41:01] <splunk> now if I try to mount the drive to /mnt it says "is already mounted or /mnt is busy..i guess I can't moult multiple devices to a directory containing mounted devices
[16:41:08] <splunk> I did I just changed it out recently
[16:41:11] <splunk> i can make it all FAT 32 again....

[16:47:51] <Berny> maybe fat32 doesn't like 700gigs ...
[16:48:13] <Berny> wasn't there a magical border where even windooze refused to create a fat32 fs?
[16:48:20] <kjetilho> Berny: could you do me another favour and do:
[16:48:21] <kjetilho> /boot/solaris/bin/root_archive unpack /mnt/platform/i86pc/boot_archive /tmp/T
[16:48:24] <oxygene> I think fat32 can be up to 2tb - but not all implementations support it
[16:48:38] <FrostCS> Seagate wouldn't have been dumb enough to prevent the first block from being rewritten would they?

[16:48:48] <splunk> who knows
[16:48:58] <splunk> solaris says its formatted
[16:49:24] <FrostCS> you can use dd to output the firstblock to a bin file, to make sure it has the FAT32 signature..

[16:51:14] <splunk> i don't kno whow to format it as ufs
[16:51:19] <splunk> i think I had an issue with that
[16:51:34] <Berny> setprop bootpath /pci@0,0/pci-ide@5/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a

[16:53:32] *** yippi has joined #opensolaris
[16:53:39] <Berny> did i say format and create a slice first? :-)
[16:53:55] <Berny> though i think that would need a solaris partition
[16:54:13] <splunk> not a Solaris guru...create a slice...create a paritition you mean?
[16:54:21] <Berny> not quite
[16:54:26] <splunk> ha
[16:54:29] <splunk> yea didnt think so
[16:54:34] <Berny> with fdisk you create a partition on x86
[16:54:41] <splunk> correct
[16:55:00] <Berny> inside that partition you create slices with format (assuming you have made your partition type solaris)
[16:55:14] <Berny> that slice you would then newfs
[16:55:22] <splunk> i'm using format -e
[16:55:27] <splunk> then I pick the drive

[17:09:36] <splunk> ok
[17:09:40] <wamty> Berny, v880 better than U20?
[17:09:40] <FrostCS> wamty, it's easier to type "or better" then list things out.
[17:09:45] <splunk> SMI or EFI?
[17:09:51] <Berny> smi
[17:09:55] <wamty> yea.. but could you show me please

[17:11:06] <FrostCS> wamty, look through sun's entry and mid-range line for the past 10 years.. and just figure most of it.
[17:11:19] <splunk> hmmm looks like its formatting
[17:11:36] <Berny> hehe FrostCS you got a copy of my setup? :-)
[17:11:39] <wamty> Berny, fascinating
[17:11:40] *** salamanders has quit IRC
[17:11:43] <splunk> real quick though , why did it only show in the partition table only two parts with only 74 gigs..all the other parts except boot were 0
[17:12:00] <wamty> Berny, mind showing me a uname please
[17:12:07] <FrostCS> Berny, I like to think of it as an Antique shop, with a few new goodies.
[17:12:08] <wamty> I would love to see this uname -m
[17:12:08] <splunk> this is a 700 gig drive, i guess after it formats it should recreate the cylinders
[17:12:18] *** alphakiller has joined #opensolaris
[17:12:22] <Berny> splunk: cause your fdisk partition might only be 74gig?

[17:15:14] <cmihai> alphakiller: NetBSD PS2 uses Linux PS2 kit / loader.
[17:15:30] <alphakiller> PS3
[17:15:31] <alphakiller> ...
[17:15:32] <alphakiller> not ps2
[17:15:43] <alphakiller> ps3 is far different from ps2
[17:15:45] <cmihai> I know, I was saying you'll need to use Linux regardless.
[17:15:50] <FrostCS> alphakiller, see the powerpc mailing list at opensolaris.org
[17:15:53] *** mega has joined #opensolaris
[17:16:01] <alphakiller> and seems pretty easy to port to powerpc ....
[17:16:06] <alphakiller> because the hypervisor stuff ...
[17:16:14] <FrostCS> SPUFS still needs to be ported over to opensolaris codebase.
[17:16:20] <alphakiller> it seems pretty well documented ...
[17:16:23] <cmihai> Besides, porting OSOL to the CPU architecture is a PITA, there was an old Solaris that ran PowerPC.. and there are efforts now... but I can't even get a kernel to boot :P
[17:16:42] <alphakiller> FrostCS, I've coded a simple PS3 Hypervisor Library
[17:16:43] <splunk> why s0 ?
[17:16:59] <splunk> c7t0d0p0 or c7t0d0s0 ?
[17:17:05] <alphakiller> dunno if that might help guys
[17:17:14] <cmihai> See the Polaris blokes
[17:17:22] <alphakiller> with such Hypervisor, it's pretty easy to mount SPU FS
[17:17:24] <FrostCS> s0 is sparc, p0 is x86

[17:18:09] *** cmihai has left #OpenSolaris

[17:18:28] <alphakiller> and if would be interesting on getting it working under ps3
[17:18:35] <FrostCS> alphakiller, if you can integrate spufs into the code repository, you shouldn't have any troubles, most of the code for powerpc is available on opensolaris.org, and last I knew it would load on the ps3
[17:19:36] <alphakiller> FrostCS: main problems are in ps3buf code

[17:22:17] <splunk> hahahh
[17:22:24] <Berny> na seriously
[17:22:35] <FrostCS> 74gigs is a decent compromise.

[17:27:22] <Berny> hmm, so slice zero should be the same size
[17:27:23] <splunk> its only reading the first slice???
[17:27:26] <splunk> yea
[17:27:46] <Berny> does start end end in format tell you the same for 0 and 2?

[17:49:57] *** nikinana has quit IRC
[17:50:48] *** xmas has joined #opensolaris
[17:50:50] <WickedWicky> Windows and Linux put a file system on a partition. (open)solaris puts file systems on pieces (slices) of this partition.
[17:51:01] <PerterB> splunk: the fact that "format" calls slices partitions doesn't help ;)
[17:51:17] <WickedWicky> so on solaris you can have more than one file system within a partition where on linux you have a filesystem on the partition
[17:52:08] <PerterB> WickedWicky: right, and you can only really have one solaris partition per disk
[17:52:30] <WickedWicky> yeps
[17:53:25] <splunk> hmm
[17:53:58] <splunk> i wonder now that the disk is UFS it will get automounted next time
[17:54:11] <splunk> i think i have to edit some kernal.usb.conf file or something
[17:54:25] <WickedWicky> |---------------------| <-- disk
[17:54:26] <WickedWicky> |---------|-----------| <---- two partitions
[17:54:26] <WickedWicky> |--|--|---|-----------| <-- three slices in the first partition
[17:54:33] <WickedWicky> something like that

[17:57:07] <splunk> "sneakernet data center " :)
[17:57:12] <wamty> Berny ?
[17:57:16] <WickedWicky> memory problems are solved. The real problem was 1 DDR400 dimm and 2x pc3200 giving timing issues. It's just that they started to play up after installing Opensolaris. I guess Linux never had to address more than 2GB of memory or something
[17:57:47] <splunk> whats the primary different between Solaris and opensolaris
[17:58:58] <WickedWicky> that one I wont touch
[17:59:02] <Berny> wamty: i never said i owned them
[17:59:37] <splunk> hahaha
[17:59:47] <g4lt-mordant> WickedWicky, given that it's in the opeensolaris FAQ, good call
[17:59:47] <splunk> i was just messin i'll do my own research on that

[18:03:20] <splunk> Berny: I forgot to ask, was there a reason why I left the backup slice a lone?

[18:04:12] <splunk> i can reduce the size of it though?
[18:04:18] <Berny> no
[18:04:36] <Berny> it's more a virtual slice so the os knows the whole size of the disk
[18:04:41] <splunk> yea
[18:04:45] <Berny> doesn't take up any real space
[18:04:47] <PerterB> just leave slice 2 alone... various things assume it overlaps the whole disk ("backup" slice is slightly misleading)
[18:05:15] <splunk> gotcha
[18:05:18] <splunk> thanks
[18:05:24] <Berny> write something to it and you f*ck up all other data on the disk :-)
[18:05:27] <splunk> theres a boot slice too
[18:05:43] <splunk> only if I wanted to boot the disk
[18:05:46] <splunk> which may bee neede din the future
[18:05:47] <Berny> that's only needed if you intend to boot from it
[18:05:52] <splunk> ya

[20:19:40] <alanc> the source does have -type in bold, c in italic, just looks like the space between the two got lost
[20:20:03] <timeless> yeah, i'm sure i'd have figured that part out
[20:20:11] <timeless> but i needed to be sure it was still buggy in a current build
[20:20:12] <splunk> I guess now I have to figure out to have my usb devices automounted post reboot

[20:21:32] <timeless> Your search returned 0 results.
[20:21:38] <stevel> timeless: it contains highly confidential information about our secret NSA backdoor via the find.1 manpage
[20:21:54] <stevel> most likely solaris/manpage isn't one of the published categories
[20:21:55] <timeless> stevel: yeah well
[20:21:56] <stevel> which is odd
[20:22:03] <wesolows> Those wacky NSA guys, always putting stuff in the last place you'd ever look!
[20:22:16] <stevel> weird. b.o.o. lists solaris/manpage as a category
[20:22:36] <timeless> i've even found bugs about man find in the search
[20:22:49] <stevel> ohh
[20:22:51] <timeless> stevel: fwiw, oo isn't the only group w/ secrets
[20:22:52] <stevel> it was only filed yesterday
[20:22:56] <stevel> it probably hasn't been synced up to b.o.o. yet
[20:23:10] <stevel> b.o.o. only syncs up once a day
[20:23:11] <timeless> i got a bug filed in our public tracker w/ a private flag
[20:23:14] <timeless> so i can't see it
[20:23:24] <timeless> the bug's about something not remotely confidential
[20:23:30] <timeless> and i'd sooner wontfix it
[20:23:33] <timeless> but i can't see it, so i can't
[20:24:05] <timeless> stevel: heh, that's amusing, what are the odds that two people would notice w/in days
[20:24:12] * the-decider thought that was the find . -type f -contents secret -sendto gonzales command.
[20:24:17] <stevel> timeless: 6593043 has been accepted (today) - so it should be fixed soon
[20:24:26] <stevel> timeless: yeah nice timing :)
[20:24:42] * timeless is like that
[20:24:55] <wesolows> the-decider: No, the bug is that you have to type that for those things to happen.
[20:25:22] <the-decider> ah cool, so they've got the autoreporting kernel module in place.

[20:44:48] <nrubsig> splunk: erm... the DISPLAY variable is needed to teach the GUI apps. where it should display the windows
[20:44:57] <splunk> yea how do you go about doing that?
[20:45:08] <timeless> what app is this CLI??
[20:45:21] <splunk> im just in Solaris 10's terminal

[20:52:54] <saguti> nrubsig: I tried guessing the email address of the respponsible engineer listed, but I am not sure if that is the right procedure.
[20:52:55] <timeless> plazma: no
[20:53:07] <Plazma_Work> mm
[20:53:08] <splunk> loads fine
[20:53:09] <oxygene> Plazma_Work: in linux branded zones it is
[20:53:14] <oxygene> Plazma_Work: elsewhere it's not
[20:53:15] <splunk> but when I reboot or something I have to set the DISPLAY again
[20:53:16] <timeless> plazma: you can use an lx zone if you need to
[20:53:22] <Plazma_Work> ahh
[20:53:31] <timeless> that offers a 2.4 kernel
[20:53:38] <splunk> so its annoying
[20:53:39] <nrubsig> splunk: that's why I said please ask in desktop-discuss at opensolaris dot org
[20:53:42] <Plazma_Work> trying to get a game to work in opensolaris, for testing purposes
[20:53:43] <splunk> ok
[20:53:55] <timeless> plazma: if you have sources, build :)
[20:54:00] <timeless> if you don't have sources, you're probably toast
[20:54:10] <Plazma_Work> yea
[20:54:11] <nrubsig> splunk: I don't use JDS often and I can't help with diagnosing errors within that environment.
[20:54:19] <splunk> ok, thanks anyway
[20:54:21] <timeless> at some point whatever it is won't support the 2.4 kernel
[20:54:42] <timeless> splunk: it seems odd that you'd get an xterm of any kind w/o the DISPLAY var set
[20:54:49] <timeless> and that's not a bug in firefox
[20:55:02] <timeless> it needs to use DISPLAY so that you could tell it to display somewhere else
[20:55:07] <timeless> e.g. on my n800
[20:55:36] <Pietro_S> Plazma_Work: what game? just curious
[20:55:43] <splunk> yea
[20:55:50] <splunk> i can try the other display environment
[20:55:59] <Plazma_Work> tremulous
[20:56:06] <splunk> the other pre packaged display
[20:56:09] <Plazma_Work> its # 1 on opensolaris's site so..
[20:56:10] <splunk> i wish Solaris had KDE

[21:14:25] <risc_solaris> Hi.  Sorry for such a low-level question, but while attempting to boot Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris, the system constantly halts at "configuring /dev"
[21:15:01] <risc_solaris> the hardware is a bit old, but prolific:  Intel 440BX, Pentium III, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200, SiI 3512 SATA
[21:15:04] <ofu> it just takes some time
[21:15:07] <Plazma_Work> sounds like a problem with pseduo devices
[21:15:22] <Plazma_Work> well.. i take that back.. if tha twas the case it probably wouldnt get that far
[21:15:35] <ofu> what does boot -v tell you?
[21:16:01] <risc_solaris> i actually didn't realize what my options were as far as a verbose boot
[21:16:02] *** xsh has quit IRC
[21:16:09] <risc_solaris> if i invoke that from grub, it will display the entire process?
[21:16:56] <Plazma_Work> boot -v is on sparc
[21:17:33] <ofu> but you could also use -v as a grub option
[21:17:34] <splunk> anyoone use wireshark on their solaris boxes?
[21:17:46] <risc_solaris> my only idea is that the SATA controller is unsupported
[21:17:55] <dunc> ooh risc_solaris i had that
[21:18:00] <dunc> with a sata controller
[21:18:03] <dunc> what type?
[21:18:03] <risc_solaris> ah
[21:18:06] <trygvis> it still wouldn't hang the boot process
[21:18:10] <dunc> it did mine
[21:18:22] <risc_solaris> SiI 3512
[21:18:30] <dunc> with -v enabled i'd see where, but still didn't work
[21:18:49] <risc_solaris> did you ever find a resolution?
[21:18:59] <dunc> i got a mobo with a better sata controller :)
[21:19:27] <risc_solaris> which controller was giving you the problem?
[21:19:28] <dunc> s/better/worky/ one maybe
[21:19:46] <dunc> i can't remember, have lent it to a mate, but bear with, i might be able to find the order in old emails

[22:19:29] <kjetilho> but many people think it is a better name ...
[22:19:31] <laca> add -c if you want pkgbuild to create that dir
[22:19:45] *** d-s-d has joined #opensolaris
[22:19:46] <d-s-d> hi
[22:19:50] <networkdump> and why /var/svc/log?
[22:20:07] <kjetilho> good question
[22:20:21] <networkdump> this is anoying
[22:20:38] <kjetilho> actually, we used to NFS-mount /var/log so we had a common log directory
[22:20:49] <kjetilho> that would totally break SMF :-)
[22:21:07] *** gnut has joined #opensolaris
[22:21:08] <kjetilho> not saying it was a clever thing to do, but that was our setup
[22:21:22] <quasi> very not clever ;)
[22:21:52] *** tombhadAC has joined #opensolaris
[22:21:53] <kjetilho> obviously not suitable for high traffic logs
[22:22:10] <networkdump> use udp or syslog-ng
[22:22:30] <kjetilho> sure, but not all apps support syslog
[22:22:44] <splunk> o
[22:22:46] <kjetilho> and the namespace is pretty cramped, too.  local0..7, you know
[22:23:06] <gnut> hi
[22:23:20] <gnut> anyone have issues running iconv to convert .inf files for use with ndiswrapper?
[22:23:27] <Pietro_S> laca: I need that dir as variable so I can add another CXXFLAG exactly -I<main_dir_of_package>
[22:23:54] <d-s-d> I intend to install a new server at home, but I couldn't yet decide what operating system to use. Solaris is getting interesting to me because of its support for ZFS. I've also been thinking of OpenBSD, 'cause i might also use it as the internet router/Firewall. I've got an old Ultra 10 with 1 Gig of RAM which I might use for that purpose. So, what do you think? I don't have that much experience concerning Solaris. Maybe, somone might give me tip whether Sola
[22:24:22] <kjetilho> d-s-d: truncated after "tip whether Sola"
[22:24:41] <d-s-d> Last scentence reads: Maybe, somone might give me tip whether Solaris is a good choice in my case...?
[22:24:47] <splunk> hmm
[22:24:51] <kjetilho> I'd say go for Solaris if you want a large fileserver.  ie. hundreds of gigs or more
[22:24:53] *** wisnios has joined #opensolaris
[22:25:31] <kjetilho> not sure I would recommend the Ultra 10, though.  most scrapheap PC-s are faster, and you really want SATA for the disks anyway
[22:26:55] <trygvis> kjetilho: dude, you're on #opensolaris, older stuff than that is often recommended here
[22:27:09] <kjetilho> it's still crap
[22:27:11] <laca> Pietro_S: ah, okay, you can do sometinhg like %_builddir/%name-%version
[22:27:17] <trygvis> yeah
[22:27:24] <bengtf_> d-s-d what speed of ultra10 ? thats the question if it is the fast one use sol10, I do that and a slow one as firewall ;)
[22:27:30] <kjetilho> useful to practice on OpenBoot, but not much else
[22:28:11] <d-s-d> bengtf_: I think it's an UltraSparc IIe at about 440 MHz.
[22:28:30] <Pietro_S> laca: thanks that's what I need, by the way did you get my PM?
[22:29:52] <bengtf_> 440 is good enough to run sol10, just get a large enough disk ;) and some scsi cards
[22:29:55] *** nikinana has joined #opensolaris
[22:29:56] <gnut> aha. got iconv to work
[22:30:07] <gnut> now i'm stuck on make ndis
[22:30:21] <kjetilho> bengtf_: it's going to be much more expensive than an old PC with SATA
[22:30:28] <d-s-d> bengtf_: What kind of scsi-cards are supported by sol10?
[22:30:43] *** cypromis has quit IRC
[22:30:50] <wesolows> plenty of them.  Virtually all the LSI stuff is
[22:30:57] <wesolows> Which is what everyone uses.
[22:31:21] <d-s-d> kjetilho: That's a good point... I do have some SCSI-HDs around and various Adaptec-SCSI-Cards... but large scsi-hds are expensive.
[22:31:24] <bengtf_> got u10 for free and some scsi cards, had to buy seagate 120G ide disk though pretty cheap
[22:32:49] <d-s-d> On the other hand, i could also use ide hard drives (two 500 gig drives should do it).
[22:32:55] <bengtf_> nope
[22:33:01] <bengtf_> 120G max
[22:33:06] <nikinana> ON71 can be downloading now?
[22:33:08] <d-s-d> why's that?
[22:33:21] <bengtf_> ata100 only
[22:33:33] <d-s-d> there's no way around that?
[22:33:45] <bengtf_> perhaps sata card maybe
[22:34:00] <kjetilho> bengtf_: it's not ATA100, but the chipset on the Ultra 10
[22:34:05] <laca> Pietro_S: no, i didn't, i should probably identify with nickserv
[22:34:53] <bengtf_> kjetilho: yep, also many ata100 pcs had the same max limit
[22:35:20] <d-s-d> Well, there's also another machine i could use. It's much more powerfull, but it's amd64 and i'm not sure how well (open)solaris runs on intel-hardware.
[22:35:29] <kjetilho> it runs very well
[22:35:30] <gnut> i'm getting lots of "conflicting types for 'signal'  " errors when trying to compile ndis
[22:36:01] <d-s-d> kjetilho: Is there an official intel-version of sol10 by sun?
[22:36:06] <bengtf_> d-s-d make sure you use geforce cards
[22:36:20] <sstallion> d-s-d: ... sol10
[22:36:23] <bengtf_> d-s-d yep just download it
[22:36:43] <d-s-d> bengtf_: you're talking about graphics... i don't need any graphics on a server, do I...? :)
[22:37:46] <reflect> do I need to fill in an RFE to get ZFS root mirror to also mirror grub data.. or is that already planned?
[22:37:57] <bengtf_> d-s-d missed that hehe, server or no server sol10 on amd64 x2 runs pretty good, my main desktop is such a beast

[22:39:34] <the-decider> yar, register article on the s86/ibm deal -- great quote:
[22:39:38] <the-decider> Solaris x86 enjoys a relatively small but devoted developer community. The Linux crowd seems to have taken notice of this with zealots bashing Solaris x86 at every chance during recent open source trade shows. Such concern is understandable given that Solaris offers a number of high-end features not found with Linux. (Note to self: Start flame war.)

[22:46:36] <cmihai> Got a GeForce 8600m GT, they have NO drivers what so ever.
[22:47:01] <alanc> hmm, thought that was in the latest drivers from nvidia.com
[22:47:07] <Pietro_S> cmihai: did you check latest driver on  their web?
[22:47:10] <cmihai> Nope, none of their stuff installs.
[22:47:18] <cmihai> It's for the desktop version of their stuff. Not even the betas.
[22:47:21] <reflect> do I need to fill in an RFE to get ZFS root mirror to also mirror grub data.. or is that already planned?
[22:47:25] <cmihai> Their response was: go ask your laptop manufacturer.
[22:47:37] <cmihai> Mine was: go fornicate yourselves with an iron stick.
[22:48:00] <Bartman007> cmihai: typically because mobile cards are tweaked by the OEMs (often underclocked because they dont' have adequate cooling) so nVidia leaves it up to the OEMs to give you drivers.

[23:09:06] <cmihai> And I can't find 2GB SODIMMS, it only has 2 slots ;-(
[23:09:16] <WickedWicky> I had 3GB. But then I installed opensolaris and my machine paniced at random.
[23:09:23] <cmihai> cool
[23:09:31] <WickedWicky> apparently I was mixing 2xpc3200 dimms with 1xDDR400

[23:26:36] <rpm> i'd like to play a bit with opensolaris.. what should i be installing.. belenix, nextena, solaris express..
[23:26:58] <cmihai> moazamraja, yeah, I heard there was some meeting today or something about that.
[23:27:06] <cmihai> You know, to pull some kind of HP

[23:33:34] <gnut> conflicting types for signal in proc.h and signal.h
[23:33:35] <gnut> oh boy
[23:34:19] *** cmihai has quit IRC
[23:36:41] <sommerfeld> gnut: you compiling kernel or user code?
[23:36:51] <gnut> sommerfeld: ndis
[23:36:55] <gnut> sommerfeld: user code
[23:37:03] <sommerfeld> why does it need proc.h ?
[23:37:08] <gnut> i don't know
[23:37:13] <gnut> but when i do make ndis
[23:37:24] <gnut> it says proc.h and signal.h have conflicting types for signal
[23:37:42] <gnut> /usr/include/sys/proc.h:628: error: conflicting types for 'signal'
[23:37:42] <gnut> /usr/include/sys/signal.h:229: error: previous declaration of 'signal' was here
[23:38:38] <WickedWicky> see ya later all
[23:40:45] <movement> anyone got the most recent opensolaris SS11 compilers installed?
[23:41:26] *** cmihai has joined #OpenSolaris
[23:41:51] <sommerfeld> gnut: what version of solaris?
[23:42:32] <elektronkind> _KERNEL isn't being defined by the compiler, is it?
[23:43:04] <gnut> snv_65
[23:43:09] *** SlackDweber has joined #opensolaris
[23:43:10] <gnut> snv_69.. sorry
[23:43:48] <gnut> sommerfeld: it's snv_69 running on a dell latitude d620... in 32-bit mode.. the wireless card is the dell wireless 1490
[23:44:03] <gnut> using bcmwl5 Broadcom 4312 chipset i believe
[23:44:22] *** Marv|LG has quit IRC
[23:44:58] <sommerfeld> so, signal.h hasn't changed since 2006.  unless emacs is counting lines wrong, line 229 doesn't have a declaration of signal()
[23:45:15] *** alphakiller is now known as alphakiller|away
[23:45:22] <sommerfeld> what's the output of "what /usr/include/sys/signal.h" ?
[23:46:10] <reflect> I'm sorry, what?
[23:46:40] <sommerfeld> the "what" command in /usr/ccs/bin
[23:46:59] <reflect> oh, thanks
[23:47:13] <gnut> /usr/include/sys/signal.h:
[23:47:13] <gnut>         signal.h        1.22    05/06/08 SMI
[23:47:19] <gnut> i didn't know of the what command... cool
[23:47:57] <gnut> this is line 229 of signal.h
[23:48:00] <gnut> extern void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int);
[23:48:07] <reflect> d-s-d: the correct channel would be #gnusol
[23:48:08] <gnut> #ifdef __cplusplus
[23:48:08] <gnut> extern "C" SIG_PF signal(int, SIG_PF);
[23:48:08] <gnut> #else
[23:48:08] <gnut> extern void (*signal(int, void (*)(int)))(int);
[23:48:08] <gnut> #endif
[23:48:10] <gnut> extern int raise(int);
[23:48:55] <gnut> and including signal.h is the third include of if_ndis.c
[23:49:23] *** perlmonk has joined #opensolaris
[23:50:20] <sommerfeld> WTF?          signal.h        1.69    06/04/23 SMI
[23:50:26] <sommerfeld> is what i'd expect
[23:50:50] <gnut> hmmm
[23:50:51] <gnut> heheh
[23:50:54] <gnut> well... i have snv_69
[23:51:15] <gnut> anyone else have this ?
[23:51:40] <gnut> woah!
[23:51:42] <gnut> you're right
[23:51:47] <gnut> i checked another snv_69 machine
[23:51:53] <gnut> and it's 1.69 like yours....
