[00:03:42] <nachox> alanc, and i suppose there is noone working in porting those old drivers as it makes little sense, right?
[00:03:57] <the_unmaker> hey anyone here care to tell me a bit mroe about hardare threads on sun niagra?
[00:04:05] <the_unmaker> like what tehy mean/can do
[00:04:05] <_mary_kate_> nachox: afaik, those old cards are used in many still-supported desktop sparcs
[00:04:19] <_mary_kate_> there was much consternation when sun announced they won't be supported anymore
[00:04:35] *** Asako has quit IRC
[00:05:06] <benley> what old cards?
[00:05:32] * benley searches scrollback and draws a blank
[00:05:42] <Ouroboro> the_unmaker: read the niagara paper?
[00:06:06] <e^ipi> or the wikipedia page
[00:06:29] <benley> .... xorg doesn't support creator3d and the like?
[00:06:41] <Ouroboro> hm, so i am getting this from installgrub: Partition 0 of the disk has an incorrect offset.... what's an incorrect offset?
[00:07:37] <e^ipi> or the wikipedia page about "simultaneous multithreading" in general
[00:07:58] <nachox> _mary_kate_, that they are supported means they have to release fox for s10, not that they have to port anything i think
[00:08:08] <nachox> *fixes
[00:08:22] <_mary_kate_> nachox: by 'supported' i mean that solaris runs on them, and people use them, and now those people can't get any new X features
[00:08:30] <_mary_kate_> because they won't work any longer in Xorg

[00:14:06] <hali> hm, xorg runs fins
[00:14:13] <hali> just not on a local fb
[00:14:23] <hali> xdmcp etc is ok
[00:14:29] <Ouroboro> hm, no google hits for this "incorrect offset" error
[00:15:52] *** sovubysoh has quit IRC
[00:16:01] <jbk> heh i do wonder if i know anyone at the sun office in that building..
[00:16:37] <the_unmaker> hmm
[00:16:44] <the_unmaker> niagra 2 seems hot
[00:20:11] <Ouroboro> so according to the installgrub source, it thinks that slice 0 starts at sector 0... according to prtvtoc, this is clearly not the case

[00:27:18] <storycrafter> hey e^ipi, how about a mips port?
[00:28:05] <e^ipi> the way I see it, every port increases the portability of the OS, so i'm all for it
[00:28:17] <e^ipi> but there's still the same problem the PPC port has of a platform
[00:28:31] <e^ipi> it has to be cheap and plentiful enough that people can go for it
[00:28:47] <e^ipi> however, mips has a hell of a lot more emulators than PPC so it may be tenable in that regard
[00:28:59] <e^ipi> ( for that matter you can bang out a mips emulator in a couple days )
[00:29:39] <the_unmaker>  pfexec pkg image-update so this updates me to the latest kernel etc?
[00:30:10] <e^ipi> yes
[00:30:59] <storycrafter> this was sort of my thinking wrt mips
[00:31:12] *** Netwolf has joined #opensolaris
[00:31:13] <storycrafter> plus movidis has those multi core mips systems
[00:31:32] <e^ipi> mips is also a lot more like sparc than PPC is
[00:31:44] <nachox> the chinese are making some interesting mips developements
[00:31:45] <e^ipi> ( or more accurately, sparc is a lot more like mips than it is like PPC )
[00:31:52] <storycrafter> heh
[00:32:10] <e^ipi> i think at least part of the goal of opensparc was to get the chinese to steal them instead of using MIPS
[00:32:40] <nachox> that would have been useful
[00:32:59] <the_unmaker> really?
[00:33:04] <the_unmaker> that could trouble intel long term
[00:33:06] <the_unmaker> llol
[00:33:40] <e^ipi> yeah, i'm sure they're quaking about it...
[00:33:58] <jbk> one guy told me that at one point at least
[00:33:59] *** e1kg has quit IRC
[00:34:02] <nachox> sometimes you need more than throwing more people in to solve a problem
[00:34:02] <jbk> if you were late to work at intel
[00:34:16] <jbk> you sat in your car and listened to the radio for and hour or two
[00:34:19] <jbk> then walked in
[00:34:23] <jbk> because otherwise
[00:34:28] <Ouroboro> e^ipi: i think that ZFS mirror guide is missing a step: create an fdisk partition prior to doing fmthard?
[00:34:33] <jbk> you were assumed late and written up (even the salaried engineers)
[00:34:51] <jbk> but if you came in late enough, they assumed you were at another location for a meeting and wouldn't write you up
[00:34:57] <e^ipi> heh
[00:35:00] <nachox> hehe
[00:35:53] <e^ipi> i'm surprised the salaried engineers even have working hours
[00:36:22] <storycrafter> the interesting thing about the mips port is that movidis wants to make sure that there's a jvm for it
[00:36:26] <e^ipi> not really heard of a lot of tech companies that care when you show up so long as it's reasonable
[00:36:47] <Ouroboro> e^ipi: so i am guessing that i need to start over now since the VTOC is at the wrong sector offset?
[00:36:48] <jbk> some places are anal like that
[00:36:52] <storycrafter> some do, so don't.  here mostly doesn't
[00:37:09] <jbk> at jpmc, i had to be there by 9am, and couldn't leave before 6pm
[00:37:19] <jbk> mostly because of covereage though
[00:37:20] <nachox> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loongson
[00:37:31] <e^ipi> yeah, i've seen that
[00:37:42] <e^ipi> i want one of the little communist $100 MIPS netbooks

[00:54:34] <bubbva> pretty much. I'm not sure if the newer builds are available externally yet or not.
[00:56:09] <e^ipi> the /topic is updated pretty close to when the builds become avail.
[00:57:04] <jbk> heh now the linux people are claiming that brtfs will leapfrog zfs -- i wish they'd explain how when it's not even released yet

[01:19:56] <Ouroboro> once you detach a device, why might zpool think that it is still part of an active pool?
[01:20:51] <nachox> i think they use a different developement model, it has it's merits, and so does solaris', their time to market is much better, their maturity isnt
[01:22:14] <jbk> and storage and their storage stack has sucked for years
[01:22:28] <jbk> ext3 still has major problems (ignoring preformance issues)
[01:22:34] <the_unmaker> whats a storage stack?

[02:36:46] <helios> hello guys i just run the live cd and i had no internet connection.Will this happen if i install solaris too?
[02:38:06] <nachox> helios, depends on your hardware, run the hardware detection tool in the livecd, that should tell us more
[02:38:09] <Triskelios> helios: depends on your network card. the live cd doesn't have all available drivers. you should be able to install a driver in it directly though if you can find one (and use a USB stick or something to transfer it)
[02:40:13] <nachox> e^ipi, looks like the linux guys are integrating btrfs (the zfs clone with a name that is a lot less cool) in 2 releases
[02:41:01] <e^ipi> okay *shrug*
[02:41:07] <helios> the system i intend to install solaris has a marvell yukon network card@ a four year old asus mobo...i am running ubuntu without any internet connection problems is it safe to say that that i will have no probs with solaris?
[02:41:31] <Aria> Yukon, eh?
[02:41:37] <helios> yes
[02:41:39] <Triskelios> nachox: there's no indication as to when the design goals will be met
[02:41:45] <Aria> You definitely have to supply that driver yourself, but it I got mine working.
[02:42:24] <Ouroboro> nachox: 2 releases of the kernel?
[02:42:45] <helios> aria where did you download the correct driver?..i suppose you have yukon too...
[02:42:59] <Triskelios> helios: for those chips there's the free myk driver (packaged in SFEnicdrv) or the older proprietary yukonx from marvell
[02:43:02] <nachox> Ouroboro, in 2.6.29
[02:43:24] <Ouroboro> interesting
[02:43:32] <nachox> Triskelios, i know, ext4 was included in the kernel a LONG time ago and it's still not ready
[02:43:33] <Ouroboro> of course i have zfs working now :/
[02:44:07] <Triskelios> nachox: uh, that's somewhat different as ext4 was meant as a playground for new development...
[02:44:41] <nachox> Ouroboro, get used to it, at least for a couple of years
[02:44:56] <e^ipi> they also are leaving out some of the cooler features of ZFS , like the integrated volume management
[02:45:00] <Triskelios> helios:  http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do;jsessionid=F2QrLzrdjnvPmTShtSshnSDW5YxJtzQ0Xz1BpGjHnTwc3r1WtXzM!331722042 http://trisk.acm.jhu.edu/SFE/SFEnicdrv/
[02:45:05] <MindDrive> "...and it is expected to leapfrog Sun Microsystems Inc.'s ZFS file system on several fronts".... uhm... exactly how long has btrfs been in development compared to ZFS?
[02:45:16] <helios> triskelios i am a newbie so what exactly is SFEnicdrv?
[02:45:22] <e^ipi> ZFS is more than just checksums and COW
[02:45:26] <nachox> e^ipi, let alone the integration with nfs, iscsi and all that :)
[02:45:31] *** Aria has quit IRC
[02:45:41] *** the_unmaker has joined #opensolaris
[02:46:02] <Ouroboro> e^ipi: i think a lot of people would be happy with just the checksums
[02:46:04] *** ky-san has joined #opensolaris
[02:46:21] <Triskelios> helios: it's a set of packages of murayama's network drivers (normally distributed as source)
[02:46:27] <e^ipi> knowing linux they probably won't even work right
[02:46:36] <Ouroboro> on the other hand zfs is missing at least one thing that is available on linux (crypto)
[02:46:44] <Ouroboro> at least until snv_105
[02:46:51] <e^ipi> "ensures data reliability , except when it doesn't "
[02:47:06] <helios> ok thanks triskelios and for the links
[02:47:15] <e^ipi> Ouroboro: you can use it right now
[02:47:27] <e^ipi> Ouroboro: you could use it for months as a matter of fact
[02:47:31] <ky-san> zfs on linux is made using fuse. I've managed to get no more than 5mib/s on my laptop (T7700 @ 2.4)
[02:47:40] <jbk> well there's a number of issues
[02:47:43] <e^ipi> it's just not too bright to do it
[02:47:51] <Ouroboro> yep yep
[02:48:00] <e^ipi> when it's putback, it's ready to be used
[02:48:04] <nachox> jbk, ?
[02:48:06] <jbk> the linux storage stack is lacking, so any whiz-bang greatest thing ever filesystem is going to be limtied by it
[02:48:26] <e^ipi> the linux method, when it's integrated, it could be years before you might actually want to consider using it
[02:48:27] <jbk> there are a lot of problems where errors don't get propagated up properly or consistently
[02:48:41] <Triskelios> jbk: the solaris vfs isn't great either, zfs bypasses much of it
[02:48:43] <Ouroboro> jbk: or at all
[02:48:45] <MindDrive> I would really like to know what features they are talking about that are supposed to "leapfrog ZFS".
[02:49:01] <jbk> umm no it doesn't
[02:49:19] <e^ipi> MindDrive: judging by the wiki page it's a subset of ZFS's functionality
[02:49:46] <jbk> but then the other issue is that linux seems to have a habit of copying the form without the understanding
[02:49:54] <ky-san> e^pi: about what project are you talking about?
[02:49:54] <MindDrive> That's what I thought, too.
[02:50:01] <e^ipi> ky-san: btrfs
[02:50:05] <ky-san> ah
[02:50:13] <jbk> zfs uses vfs
[02:50:24] <MindDrive> (But hey, no one ever said Linux developers were humble.)
[02:50:26] <e^ipi> what's wrong with the VFS ?
[02:50:27] <jbk> or rather, zpl is the interface between vfs<->zfs
[02:50:58] <jbk> since iirc, all posix file operations go through the vfs layer
[02:51:01] *** bourgois has quit IRC
[02:51:05] <Ouroboro> hm, so i just mirrored drive A to drive B by attaching drive B to rpool and doing installgrub on it, but if i boot with just drive B, GRUB comes up and the kernel begins booting, but the machine hard resets
[02:51:13] <Ouroboro> any hints on where i might have gone wrong?
[02:51:14] <jbk> but it's not the vfs layer even that's the issue, it's the storage stack
[02:51:14] *** bourgois has joined #opensolaris
[02:51:19] <jbk> scsi, fibre channel, etc.
[02:51:50] <helios> got the driver for solaris 8,9,10 x86 from marvell's site..hope it works...thanks gyus bye
[02:52:34] <Triskelios> helios: should be installable on the live cd
[02:52:38] <Triskelios> e^ipi, jbk: the fact that the arc and page cache are separate entities is somewhat worrisome
[02:53:40] <jbk> that's tangential, and i wouldn't be surprised if some of that is addressed with the new vm system that keeps being talked about in oblique terms
[02:53:49] <helios> ok i will try it during live cd operation to see if it can be installed without installation...thanks again

[03:04:50] <Triskelios> there are certain changes to the page tables that I am looking forward to
[03:04:51] <nachox> sounds like perf is a nice list to keep an eye on
[03:14:00] <Ouroboro> e^ipi: regarding that zfs mirror guide... dont i need to copy/generate the boot and alternatives slices since they are not controlled by zfs?
[03:14:26] <Ouroboro> should i just run bootadm

[03:19:09] <_mary_kate_> Ouroboro: the prtconf | fmthard command will copy the existing slices

[03:29:13] <ky-san> dumb question: I've plugged in a pl2303 based usb->serial adapter. What is the name of its tty and where is it? Dmesg says usbsprl0 but I can't find. And using /devices/pci@ etc is not a good solution imho
[03:29:27] <_mary_kate_> ky-san: it's probably in /dev/term
[03:30:09] <ky-san> _mary_kate_: thanks
[03:32:02] <Triskelios> to use tip, edit the "hardwire" entry in /etc/remote if necessary

[03:33:21] <ky-san> this is what I'm using for years...
[03:34:50] <Ouroboro> can someone clarify what the purpose of the boot and alternatives slices is?
[03:36:07] <Triskelios> boot is to take up space for the bootloader on sparc (maybe stores stage2 on x86?), alternatives are probably spare blocks to remap to
[03:36:31] <Ouroboro> hm
[03:37:36] <Ouroboro> should these be identical on the 2 drives in rpool, or does stage2 reference drive-specific things?
[03:39:39] *** bara|noid has joined #opensolaris
[03:40:18] *** bara|noid has left #opensolaris
[03:42:03] <Triskelios> Ouroboro: should be okay if it's identical, if the disks are as well
[03:42:08] <Ouroboro> nevermind, those slices are the same
[03:42:19] <Ouroboro> but there are differences in slice 0 (the zfs root slice)
[03:42:36] <Ouroboro> i assume there is some zfs header information which is not mirrored between the drives though
[03:44:26] *** the_unmaker has quit IRC
[03:45:16] <Ouroboro> when i boot, i see the kernel version message, after which it resets, this means that GRUB at least found /boot and the kernel
[03:45:29] <Ouroboro> but when i load the failsafe kernel, it cannot find an installed OS?
[03:46:44] <Triskelios> was this root pool created by the normal installer?
[03:47:14] <Triskelios> the failsafe expects a certain subvolume structure and might look for certain files present on the root fs
[03:48:21] <Ouroboro> the root pool was created by the installer with one drive, i am attempting to add another drive to it
[03:48:33] <Ouroboro> so i am now trying to boot from *just* that second drive
[03:48:40] <Ouroboro> (to simulate failure of drive A)

[04:02:49] <Ouroboro> seems like it, but you should confirm with someone who knows what they are talking about
[04:02:53] <Ouroboro> what do your lines look like?
[04:05:23] <Triskelios> setprop bootpath '/pci@0,0/pci104d,9008@1f,2/disk@0,0:a' for example...
[04:05:32] <Ouroboro> yeah i dont have that
[04:06:30] <Triskelios> great
[04:07:10] <Ouroboro> are you sure thats not just a cached value from last boot?
[04:10:21] <Triskelios> no, it determines whether or not the system is going to be able to find its root pool
[04:10:32] <Triskelios> (or slice if ufs)
[04:11:02] *** T_B has joined #opensolaris
[04:11:05] <Triskelios> there's an entertaining panic loop if it's wrong
[04:11:22] <Ouroboro> but /boot is already on the rpool, so it must have already found it?
[04:12:05] <Triskelios> no, bootenv.rc is one of the files in the boot archive
[04:12:47] *** jtmuzix has joined #opensolaris
[04:13:45] <Ouroboro> hm, where does the boot archive reside? in the boot slice
[04:13:50] *** RElling1 has joined #opensolaris

[07:32:18] <Triskelios> I'm pretty sure I ran catman -w
[07:33:05] <swankier> Triskelios: how do I tell if I'm using snv_99?
[07:33:13] <swankier> oh wait.
[07:33:16] <swankier> I'm using snv_98
[07:33:21] <swankier> how do I update?  should I update?
[07:33:52] *** RElling has joined #opensolaris
[07:34:01] <Triskelios> if you are using 2008.05/11, the update isn't in IPS yet. I am running SXCE
[07:35:48] <swankier> so you're saying that this is a bug I've come across and it's been fixed in the latest development release of the os?

[07:50:38] <swankier> I ran pkg refresh; pkd image-update...
[07:50:43] <swankier> so that means I'm using 2008.11, right?

[08:49:09] <Ouroboro> so which do you use
[08:49:37] <xRaich[o]2x> right now zsh, but i switch to ksh when i get fed up with  it, which happens quite often ^^
[08:49:44] <Ouroboro> heh
[08:50:04] * ky-san votes for  bash
[08:50:05] <xRaich[o]2x> still the zsh has a lot of nice globbing stuff and pattern matching
[08:50:36] <Ouroboro> well i used bash on linux, but before that i used tcsh on solaris (much older solaris)
[08:51:26] <xRaich[o]2x> i really love the tcsh completion. it's actually usable
[08:51:42] <Ouroboro> it doesnt seem to do multiple completion like bash though
[08:51:50] <xRaich[o]2x> zsh completion just feels over-to-top

[08:53:06] <Triskelios> I can't stand how bash does completion lists

[08:53:35] *** gehmehgeh has joined #opensolaris
[08:54:00] <Ouroboro> what do you do if you dont know what the file is called?
[08:54:12] <Ouroboro> you have to ctrl-c, ls, do the command again
[08:54:26] <swankier> is there a good document somewhere explain exactly what the minimum number of changes necessary are to make an opensolaris install talk on the network?
[08:54:58] <Ouroboro> swankier: changes over what? if you do it right during the installer, no changes should be required
[08:55:23] *** twisti is now known as twisti_home
[08:55:27] <swankier> do I need to edit netmasks?  do I need to edit nodename?  could I get away with just /etc/hostname.interface, /etc/defaultrouter, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf
[08:56:11] <Triskelios> Ouroboro: the way zsh cycles through matches while keeping the whole list visible is actually nicer in my opinion
[08:56:23] <Ouroboro> Triskelios: ah, havent tried that
[08:56:43] <Ouroboro> Triskelios: i can see how that would be nicer
[08:57:36] <Ouroboro> the thing i hate about list completion is that the list remains displayed even after the command is executed
[08:58:08] <Ouroboro> swankier: i am not sure there is one solution for situations
[08:58:27] <Triskelios> zsh clears short lists, too
[08:58:33] <Ouroboro> swankier: netmasks only needed if nonstandard, probably need to set nodename, not sure about rest
[08:58:35] <swankier> Ouroboro: there's not one solution for basic ipv4 configuration?  I find that hard to believe.
[08:58:53] <Ouroboro> swankier: depends whether you use DHCP, what the DHCP server provides, etc
[08:59:02] <swankier> static ipv4
[08:59:24] <CIA-25> dm120769 <David.Marker at sun dot com>: Added tag onnv_101 for changeset 31ae58c8daeb
[08:59:45] <Ouroboro> swankier: your list is probably sufficient, but need to set /etc/hosts also
[08:59:47] <Triskelios> 101!
[09:00:00] <Ouroboro> swankier: keep in mind i just learned this stuff today
[09:00:05] <swankier> ahh
[09:01:16] <Triskelios> you could use a static nwam mapping (http://blogs.sun.com/PlasticPixel/entry/nwam_static_ip_address_for)  for the non-DNS bits
[09:01:55] <Ouroboro> networking seems to be one of the messier parts of the install
[09:02:21] <Ouroboro> i especially did not like the fact that the installer failed to set some things, like hostname
[09:06:12] *** freakazoid0223 has quit IRC
[09:06:54] *** freakazoid0223 has joined #opensolaris
[09:07:02] <swankier> well, it sets nodename
[09:07:10] <swankier> which, I think, is hostname
[09:07:28] <swankier> I agree, the networking in Solaris (at least the configuration of it) feels very 1990.
[09:08:01] <swankier> (I'm referring specifically to the "subnets" file, for instance)
[09:08:32] <Ouroboro> mine did not set nodename because i chose DHCP, but the DHCP server did not give a name
[09:08:42] <swankier> ahh
[09:08:49] <Ouroboro> it should have asked for a default name anyway though
[09:09:02] *** LordIllpalazo has joined #opensolaris
[09:09:06] <Ouroboro> on the other hand it *did* ask for a DNS IP, even though the DHCP server does provide this
[09:09:14] <Ouroboro> confusing
[09:09:37] <swankier> how do I disable ipv6 altogether?
[09:09:37] <Ouroboro> as far as the file system structure, its way too many files IMO
[09:09:47] <Ouroboro> much nicer with /etc/network/interfaces in debian
[09:10:43] <Ouroboro> dont know that one, i just disabled it in the installer for nge0

[13:16:14] *** Dar has quit IRC
[13:16:24] <codestr0m> 64bit gtk is probably entirely useless and in fact would maybe even just consume more memory, but for consistency and my (rather selfish) goals I'm just doing the whole bit
[13:16:43] <_mary_kate_> it's not useless if you have a program with a GUI that does operations well suited to 64-bit
[13:16:51] <_mary_kate_> for example, it does crypto, or needs a lot of memory
[13:17:08] <codestr0m> how many of those are around?
[13:17:20] <_mary_kate_> how annoying would it be when you find one, and can't use it?
[13:17:26] <codestr0m> _mary_kate_: lol
[13:17:31] <smtms> I think GNOME needs a lot of memory :-P
[13:17:34] <_mary_kate_> providing 64-bit versions of libraries has quite small overhead
[13:17:42] <codestr0m> well.. maybe more annoying than me finding I can't link into something trivial like libhal
[13:17:55] <codestr0m> smtms: not more than 2GB :P

[14:55:48] *** ejray_ has joined #opensolaris

[14:58:00] <CosmicDJ> can't you swap -a a local file?
[14:58:04] <m0zzzy> I am afraid that this is what will stay, because all zones are controlled from global, so memory allocation is also made from global fs

[18:12:04] <houst0n-> oxygene: I've never tried to  compile gcc with anything other than gcc
[18:12:11] <codestr0m> _RadioHead: you can enable verbosity with -v by hitting e at the grub prompt and reading what to do.. make sure to remove all external usb devices.. and lastly give the lastest respin a try.. past that I can't help

[18:15:05] <oxygene> unfortunately sun diluted that brand, too
[18:16:45] <oxygene> and by "system for experimentation" I don't mean the users that look at it, but the people who create it
[18:17:29] <loquitus_of_borg> Oxygene: Am I missing something here? I asked about building gcc in the OpenSolaris channel. You respond that "it" is easy and straightforward. I confirm with you that you have in fact does this on a particular release of OpenSolaris. You respond "of course not".
[18:19:11] <_RadioHead> codestr0m: u mean opensolaris 2008.11 ?
[18:19:12] <oxygene> loquitus_of_borg: sxce is a "particular release of opensolaris", and it works there (so much I'm willing to confirm). the "opensolaris binary distro" joke of a distro might misbehave.
[18:19:21] <_RadioHead> just downloaded  :)
[18:19:45] <_RadioHead> codestr0m: i read on net that is something related with ACPI

[18:21:20] <h3sp4wn> loquitus_of_borg: Those issues are not going to be fixed at all - perhaps try stdcxx

[18:24:46] <loquitus_of_borg> h3sp4wn: so you are saying use stdcxx as my standard c++ library instead of the c++ libraries that come with whatever compiler opensolaris supplies?
[18:25:40] <h3sp4wn> loquitus_of_borg: instead of the sun studio stlport or stdC - use stdcxx (The opensolaris kde4 project already does this)
[18:25:42] <loquitus_of_borg> h3sp4wn: ok. newbie question here but how do I "use" the apache stl, per se?
[18:27:49] <oxygene> houst0n-: stdcxx is the new roguewave library, right? and as such a distant ancestor of stdC

[19:30:09] <bda> yarihm: wfm
[19:30:18] <yarihm> wfm?
[19:30:22] <Asako> we're finally starting to offer Cent 5
[19:30:24] <bda> "works for me"
[19:30:26] <h3sp4wn> (and Centos 5 in brandz doesn't even run apache)
[19:30:39] <Asako> and we use virtuozzo for VPSes
[19:30:56] <Asako> it's just not worth it to change all our products and retrain everybody
[19:31:26] <yarihm> bda, hmm ... here the installer (both methods) hang after "cannot identify UART chip at 2f8" and then says after some while "WARNING: sv: could not allocate sv_devs array"
[19:32:00] <Asako> we're really not a typical IT shop
[19:32:01] *** pramz has joined #opensolaris
[19:32:04] <yarihm> well, i'll try with solaris express
[19:32:08] *** defer8 has joined #opensolaris
[19:32:32] <bda> yarihm: Dunno, have not seen that. I use both Indiana and SXCE in Parallels, though.
[19:33:22] <yarihm> bda, well, maybe I've got more luck using sxce ... if it only where not such a huge download :(
[19:33:55] <Asako> I really love zfs though, maybe I can get people to use it for backup servers
[19:33:55] <ninjaslim> hi guys, does sxce come with the BSD userland?
[19:34:15] <oxygene> ninjaslim: there's some stuff in /usr/ucb
[19:34:50] <ninjaslim> oxygene: at the moment i can't tell because i have no access to my solaris box
[19:34:52] <_mary_kate_> the 'ucb' referred to by there is really SunOS4
[19:35:05] <_mary_kate_> an extremely old, obsolete OS, and those tools have been mostly unchanged since then
[19:35:17] <_mary_kate_> you probably want to avoid using them
[19:35:19] <yarihm> ucb kind of remembers me to my good days at the university in berkeley ... >(
[19:35:22] <yarihm> :) that is
[19:35:47] <ninjaslim> but then is there anyway to get aBSD userland on Solaris, i'm not used to the SysV-isms in the command line utilities
[19:36:18] <_mary_kate_> if you just want 'ps', you can use /usr/gnu/bin/ps
[19:36:28] <_mary_kate_> but it doesn't support most solaris functionality, so it's not very useful either
[19:36:53] <Asako> it's easier to just learn the solaris way
[19:36:58] <oxygene> okay, so when will opensolaris come out with an optional linux kernel to use?
[19:36:58] <ninjaslim> i see, guess i'll just have t get used to it then
[19:37:05] <oxygene> gnu ps, oh my..
[19:37:10] <Asako> probably never
[19:37:19] <Asako> you want linux, run linux
[19:37:37] <oxygene> sure, and if you want a gnu userland, run a gnu system
[19:37:45] <oxygene> gnu/linux, gnu/hurd, nexenta, ...
[19:37:48] <ninjaslim> not using GNU period
[19:37:52] <Asako> nexenta is nice
[19:38:06] <ninjaslim> nexenta is ubuntu strapped onto an opensolaris kernel
[19:38:07] <_mary_kate_> oxygene: which gnu system provides zfs, zones and dtrace?
[19:38:52] <Asako> I'm getting more used to OpenSolaris though
[19:39:05] <yarihm> _mary_kate_, well, maybe not zfs and dtrace, but the equivalent of zones are actually quite an old hat on both linux and freebsd
[19:39:09] <oxygene> _mary_kate_: nexenta. besides which: gnu isn't meant to be featureful, but "free" (according to the FSF definition of that word)
[19:39:38] <oxygene> yarihm: freebsd had jails, okay.. linux? chroot (which is something else) and usermodelinux (something else), and virtualization (again, something else)
[19:39:50] <ninjaslim> FreeBSD has jails and chroots, jails are quite powerful administrative tool
[19:40:05] <ninjaslim> jails came to replace chroots or at elast solve most of the problems associated with them
[19:40:05] <_mary_kate_> oxygene: i don't see how what the fsf wants matters.  some people want to use gnu tools on solaris.  other people might think that's a bad idea, but i see no reason to be quite so objectional about it
[19:40:07] <oxygene> okay, and there was some obscure jails-on-linux port that was updated every 50 linux releases, and barely worked
[19:40:08] <defer8> I'm trying to install a 1.5TB Seagate drive on my opensolaris b93 system and am getting read errors, I've tried two different drives, they're both visible from the BIOS, anybody know if opensolaris has problems with these drives?
[19:40:20] <ninjaslim> oxygene: has linux ever worked?
[19:40:34] <Asako> yes
[19:40:42] <Asako> our whole company is built on linux, it's not that bad
[19:40:43] <oxygene> ninjaslim: depends on the definition of work
[19:41:00] <Asako> web hosting industry is mostly redhat/debian
[19:41:13] <Asako> windows is getting more popular though

[19:41:55] <Asako> don't get many requests for that
[19:42:06] <Asako> maybe unmanaged servers
[19:42:19] <ninjaslim> the thing is that GNU has become one of the major fronts for Unix-like development, so in a sense what FSF wants matters if other Unix platforms want to integrate some of those technologies

[22:27:48] <codestr0m> stupid question, but I still can't understand exactly what the fox project is? I mean is it just xorg that compiles under sun or other changes?
[22:29:08] *** ruse39[home]__ has joined #opensolaris
[22:29:09] <alanc> FOX was about getting the X code base used in Solaris moved to the current X.Org releases, instead of our mishmash of bits from different X11R6.x releases, with various other Sun changes, and about getting the X code bases used in the various distros (Nevada, Indiana, Belenix, & Martux) to be more aligned with each other
[22:29:48] <alanc> the end result should be all the distros using the same X code base, which is mostly upstream X.Org current release with minimal changes
[22:29:58] <codestr0m> ok.. makes sense.. so if I roll my own xorg packages I should use your 1.5 branch?
[22:30:25] <codestr0m> yeah. that's logical. that's what I planned, but I wasn't looking forward to hunting down obscure patches or redoing work
[22:30:53] <codestr0m> if your branch has spec files I'll jump around if it's just a big ugly gate like everything else.. *sad*
[22:31:00] <alanc> if you want code that more closely matches what's going to be in Nevada/Indiana once we're ready to move to 1.5, then I'd say, yeah, use it
[22:31:20] <codestr0m> yeah. I also don't mind helping with trivial bits/testing
[22:31:47] <codestr0m> what's the gate called so I can hg clone it now
[22:31:51] <alanc> codestr0m: sorry, no specfiles, but not far off - it's a hierarchy of Makefiles that unpack .tar.bz2's from upstream, apply Sun patches and then build and install to a proto area, from which we later build packages
[22:32:09] <codestr0m> ok. that's not *so* bad

[22:44:52] <codestr0m> alanc: if I'm on a pure amd64 bit build think nvidia drivers will work.. in linux they will, but I haven't looked to see if there's 64bit version on osol
[22:45:37] <alanc> codestr0m: as far as I know - they have 64-bit kernel drivers & opengl libraries included
[22:45:53] <alanc> works fine on my amd64 systems running 64-bit kernel

[22:49:13] <loquitus_of_borg> People... what is the difference between Open Solaris 2008.05 and SXCE?
[22:49:31] *** vmlemon_ has quit IRC
[22:50:18] <codestr0m> loquitus_of_borg: some extra binary bits on SXCE and package manager.. osol is mostly a repackage of SXCE using IPS with some differences.. I don't use SXCE so could be off base. someone will correct me if so I assume
[22:50:37] *** not-me-guv has joined #opensolaris
[22:51:24] <alanc> codestr0m's mostly right - 2008.05 is (mostly) a subset of SXCE repackaged with the new IPS package manager/repository and LiveCD/installer - there's some smaller differences, like different default $PATH and such, too

[22:52:31] <loquitus_of_borg> I am having developmental nightmares trying to build code using boost and c++ stl stuff with 2008.05 using the sun studio toolchain... any suggestions?
[22:52:41] <palowoda> trygvis: Ben Rockwood wrote a good dtrace script called ipwho.d which tracked process ports active.

[22:53:13] *** houst0n- has joined #opensolaris
[22:53:15] <loquitus_of_borg> yes. I spelt it this way.
[22:53:22] <loquitus_of_borg> would sxce resolve my woes, for example?
[22:53:28] <loquitus_of_borg> houst0n: welcome back
[22:53:48] <_mary_kate_> loquitus_of_borg: with studio, you must use -library=stlport4 to build boost
[22:53:48] <houst0n-> Gaaaaah
[22:53:58] <_mary_kate_> loquitus_of_borg: the default standard library is far too non-compliant / outdated
[22:54:05] *** Odin- has quit IRC
[22:54:19] <_mary_kate_> but, using stlport4 makes your application binary incompatible with libraries not built with that switch

[22:55:24] <loquitus_of_borg> _mary_kate: as in I should not be using gcc to build boost and rather sun studio with -library=stlport4?
[22:55:46] <_mary_kate_> loquitus_of_borg: i didn't say not to use gcc.  i gave you a studio answer because you said you're using studio
[22:55:52] <_mary_kate_> loquitus_of_borg: gcc will work fine as well
[22:56:38] *** Fish- has quit IRC
[22:56:40] <loquitus_of_borg> _mary_kate_: well, I am building my own software that using boost, using sun studio... with the stlport4 flag... so the question is, will boost built with gcc link properly with something built in sun studio?
[22:56:50] <_mary_kate_> no, they are not ABI compatible
[22:57:28] <palowoda> I thought steleman was already building boost for opensolaris?
[22:57:37] <loquitus_of_borg> _mary_kate_: because I believe what I did last week was exactly that. it did statically link but at runtime there was a problem where the std::string's routine was not being found. some runtime link error.
[22:57:47] <steleman> palowoda: it's already built
[22:57:48] <_mary_kate_> palowoda: if that's part of KDE4, it's probably using the rw/apache stdlib
[22:57:51] *** pumpkin_ has joined #opensolaris
[22:58:13] <loquitus_of_borg> steleman: there is a recent version of boost available for opensolaris?
[22:58:21] <steleman> yes it uses Apache Standard C++ Library and that's the library which will be used in OpenSolaris as well.
[22:58:32] <e^ipi> hey, steleman , congrats on the ARC approval for stdcxx
[22:58:35] <steleman> loquitus_of_borg: there's 1.36.0 at cvsdude/kdesolaris/
[22:58:41] <steleman> e^ipi: ty ty :-)

[22:59:39] <loquitus_of_borg> steleman: as in is there a way for me to get apache standard c++ and this recent boost installed onto my 2008.05?
[23:00:19] <steleman> loquitus_of_borg: you can build them if you svn co them from cvsdude/kdesolaris, apply the patches, and then build them
[23:00:43] <steleman> but ISTR that ICU on opensolaris.2008.05 was missing the header files so boost won't build with widechar/utf/ucs support
[23:01:03] <loquitus_of_borg> steleman: I tried to build the apache standard c++ library. it got pretty far and then died. but I did not use this cvsdude/kdesolaris thing
[23:01:23] <steleman> we've been using it for kde4 for over a year now
[23:01:36] <codestr0m> loquitus_of_borg there's some boost 1.34 and 1.36 work in cvsdude (google for the repo) which may help you quite a bit
[23:01:47] <codestr0m> (oopse . overtype. sorry)
[23:01:56] <steleman> anyway apache stdcxx is going into nevada very soon
[23:02:02] <steleman> and probably S10U<somethign>
[23:02:06] <steleman> then boost
[23:02:08] <_mary_kate_> loquitus_of_borg: last time i needed boost i just downloaded it and compiled.. why so much effort?
[23:02:40] <steleman> _mary_kate_: with sun studio and libCstd.so ?
[23:02:58] <_mary_kate_> steleman: with sqlport4, like loquitus_of_borg is already using
[23:03:10] <loquitus_of_borg> _mary_kate_: here is the story. I was not having any trouble with boost, really. the problem is that when I tried to build my application (after having added some more complex stl code), it would not compile with Sun Studio. I found that if I put stlport 4 as the flag, it would compile.
[23:03:19] <steleman> stlport4 will be obsolete when apache stdcxx is integrated
[23:03:21] <loquitus_of_borg> But when I ran it, it failed with some runtime linker issue then.
[23:03:30] <loquitus_of_borg> So both ways, I am stuck.
[23:03:34] <steleman> and stlport4 only supports the "C" locale
[23:03:43] <steleman> so there's no way you can build boost with ICU widechar/utf/ucs
[23:03:53] <loquitus_of_borg> I tried to build stdcxx (the apache c++ libs) and that failed too.
[23:04:09] <_mary_kate_> steleman: i build regex with icu (using my own copy of icu, not solaris's), and it worked well
[23:04:12] <_mary_kate_> (with stlport4)
[23:04:23] <steleman> _mary_kate_: i somehow doubt that.
[23:04:23] *** Rarok has joined #opensolaris
[23:04:48] <_mary_kate_> okay, feel free to doubt that
[23:04:55] <steleman> i am.
[23:05:09] <loquitus_of_borg> well... I am building boost right now with the stlport4 switch. seems to be building fine.
[23:05:25] <loquitus_of_borg> except I am pretty sure my app will fail in runtime
[23:05:30] <loquitus_of_borg> nothing to do with boost, I bet.
[23:06:44] <loquitus_of_borg> So I am on cvsdude's website. what now?
[23:06:49] *** test001bot has joined #opensolaris

[23:07:40] <loquitus_of_borg> steleman: is this somehow different from building stdcxx from the apache c++ standard lib sources?
[23:07:47] <steleman> loquitus_of_borg: click and you shall find.
[23:07:58] <loquitus_of_borg> oh, I clicked.
[23:09:27] <loquitus_of_borg> steleman: looks like a source archive tree to me. how is this any different. yeah, there is a solaris directory here too.
[23:11:08] *** pumpkin- has joined #opensolaris
[23:11:28] <codestr0m> loquitus_of_borg: you can read the instructions for cvsdude.. poke around for the spec files and it makes building some programs rather trivial
[23:11:39] *** test001bot has quit IRC
[23:13:10] <steleman> and this reminds me i still need to check in the 4 sun.jam files for boost 1.36.0
[23:13:28] <loquitus_of_borg> So those solaris-specific folders exist to deal with the problems I am probably having trying to build these "Straight up"?

[23:17:26] <steleman> _mary_kate_: mmmmmmh ok ? what's that ?
[23:17:36] <_mary_kate_> steleman: CC + stlport4 + boost, using ICU regex
[23:18:21] <steleman> _mary_kate_: can you use std::wstring and wchar_t const* pound ?
[23:18:30] <steleman> yes i know that you can use 8-bit chars.
[23:18:51] <_mary_kate_> steleman: no, why would i use std::wstring?  i want Unicode, not some random platform-dependant wide character support
[23:19:02] <steleman> _mary_kate_: roflmao.
[23:19:07] <_mary_kate_> steleman: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/regex/doc/html/boost_regex/unicode.html
[23:19:09] <victori_> dtrace -n 'io:::start /execname=="postgresql"/ { @num[probefunc] = count(); }'   -- correct way of figuring out if httpd deamon has hit the disk via dtrace?
[23:19:21] <_mary_kate_> as you can see in the docs, wchar_t is not guaranteed to be Unicode
[23:19:21] <victori_> well db deamon in this case
[23:19:26] <_mary_kate_> hence, ICU is used instead
[23:19:34] <_mary_kate_> (and works fine with my UTF-8 strings)
[23:19:35] <steleman> _mary_kate_: blablabla.
[23:19:54] <steleman> _mary_kate_: FYI: UTF and UCS can encode in widths greater than 8 bits.
[23:20:13] <_mary_kate_> steleman: yes, i know.  i actually use this in the real program with UCS-4
[23:20:15] <steleman> _mary_kate_: yes, there is UTF-8, which is 8-bit.
[23:20:16] <_mary_kate_> i just used UTF-8 for the example
[23:20:26] <steleman> _mary_kate_: there is also UTF-16 and UTF-32.
[23:20:42] <steleman> _mary_kate_: which is when you *need* wchar_t and std::wstring and so on.
[23:20:57] *** webar7 has quit IRC
[23:20:59] <_mary_kate_> steleman: no, you don't *need* wchar_t if you use ICU, it has its own Unicode types for 2, 4 and variable byte unicode
[23:21:39] <steleman> _mary_kate_: which means: instead of using the Solaris native wchar_t for utf/ucs encoding, you are using ICU's.
[23:21:45] <_mary_kate_> correct
[23:21:51] <steleman> _mary_kate_: that doesn't address stlport4 though.
[23:22:07] <_mary_kate_> all you said was that you can't use stlport4 with boost + icu.  you can.
[23:22:16] <steleman> _mary_kate_: you can. badly.
[23:22:21] <steleman> not me.
