[00:51:52] <sickness> mmm
[00:52:09] <sickness> tried to fiddle with xset and xscreensaver ?
[00:52:20] <moazamraja> no X is running
[00:52:24] <moazamraja> just text console
[00:52:32] <sickness> with xset you could enable dpms support and with xscreensaver you could trigger it, or with xlock...
[00:52:36] <sickness> oh
[00:52:53] <sickness> so I don't know with that, maybe ask to the vconsole project guys? =)
[00:54:43] <moazamraja> i'm hoping there is a setting i can put in /etc/power.conf
[00:55:36] *** davidX- has joined #opensolaris
[01:00:16] <moazamraja> ah, nevermind :)
[01:00:27] <moazamraja> the laptop has a hardware feature to turn off the display :)
[01:00:33] <moazamraja> exactly what i wanted

[03:47:38] <Canaris_> where can i find the beta/alpha for the next opensolaris version? I am currently running 2008.5 and it works quite alright. besides that it didnt recognize my NIC at first, but thats solved now. but anyhow, when is the next version gonna be released. any news on that yet?
[03:50:09] <TomJ>  some time in november
[03:50:16] <TomJ> I think there's a beta somewhere, maybe on genunix.org
[03:51:43] <Canaris_> TomJ, Ah yeh you're right. I found it
[03:51:44] <Canaris_> Thanks!
[03:52:05] <Canaris_> glad to see that it will already be in november
[03:54:14] <TomJ> yeah, it should be pretty regular every 6 months

[06:26:17] <rnixon> hello friends
[06:26:56] <rnixon> I added in some extra ram for my laptop, and now it hangs on boot
[06:27:21] <rnixon> Kosher ram, passes memtest, boots ubuntu livecd fine
[06:27:35] <e^ipi> 'passes memtest' means almost nothing
[06:27:53] <e^ipi> memtest is a blunt instrument
[06:27:59] <rnixon> loading the kernel -v shows its hanging on pci1014,512@01, which seems to be a cardbus thing
[06:28:44] <rnixon> is it like a standardized test for ram?
[06:28:49] <rnixon> no bits left behind!
[06:29:30] <e^ipi> and this tells you what exactly?
[06:29:52] <rnixon> indiana livecd folk seem to have run into this issue, based on google, so it may be some issue with the particular driver?
[06:29:56] <rnixon> I'm not sure.
[06:30:30] <rnixon> Is there a quick fix? Any magic options I can boot with?
[06:31:30] <rnixon> Everything works perfectly, as long as I have ony 1g ram
[06:31:48] <rnixon> but if I add any more ram, the computer is like

[07:00:07] <glguy> evocallaghan, ok, I'm here. (but I wouldn't have kicked you anyway for talking to me about offtopic stuff ;)
[07:00:33] <evocallaghan> glguy:Hey, welcome. I did not know you ran the show anyways ;)
[07:01:18] <evocallaghan> So the opensolaris distro is a Sun project to target Linux people that write web apps and such. They took a lot of work Moinak Gosh did.
[07:01:44] <evocallaghan> Its pkg.opensolaris.org is quite closed off to people putting there own packages in
[07:01:56] <evocallaghan> Just what Sun thinks what everyone wants
[07:02:47] <evocallaghan> Hense you get nothing useful beyound a gnome desktop and a distro that has problems unless you change the $PATH etc.. etc.. etc.. list goes on.
[07:03:08] <evocallaghan> SXCE is a Solaris 10 beta if you like. not quite but easy to explain
[07:03:33] <evocallaghan> You can grab spec files and build what you like with SXCE.
[07:04:57] <glguy> is SXCE different from Solaris 10 10/08 Operating System CD 1 for x86/x64
[07:06:23] <evocallaghan> Yes
[07:06:36] <evocallaghan> Solaris 10 is production ready for a server or whatever
[07:06:50] <evocallaghan> SXCE is great for a desktop and such

[07:15:16] <glguy> the last I saw was a link to whacked
[07:15:18] <glguy> before I lost power
[07:17:48] <glguy> is there a trick to downloading SXCE via a single URL
[07:18:06] <glguy> sun.com seems to be doing a great job of preventing me from downloading their software be requiring the session cookie to be present
[07:19:04] <sponix> glguy:  yep, they _Strongly_ recommend SDM use, making most of their downloads the suck....
[07:19:28] * bda never uses SDM.
[07:19:36] <bda> There used to be a wget workaround. Dunno where it went.
[07:19:57] <glguy> Ah, I managed to trick it
[07:21:31] <evocallaghan> UPS is a good trick ;)

[08:12:10] <klg> i was trying to install mplayer from lifewithsolaris, but the package has been removed, any idea whether it's temporary situation or is it something else
[08:13:56] <evocallaghan> klg:Try Blastwave instead
[08:14:53] <klg> evocallaghan: while trying blastwave, it was stuck with creating plan for 15 min, so i stopped
[08:15:12] <glguy> Is the primary distinction between OpenSolaris and a GNOME based Linux distribution primarily the kernel, init scripts, and package manager?
[08:15:32] <glguy> Does it tend to use a lot of the same libraries?
[08:15:59] <glguy> I'm sure I can answer some of these questions on my own later, but I'm still downloading :)

[10:02:23] <palowoda> Only certain AMD dual cores support powernowadm.

[10:06:43] *** MeP3aBeu has joined #opensolaris
[10:07:34] <sickness> all intel cpu's are supported? with which driver? same frkit? or is there another one to install?
[10:08:13] <qiyong> &mod_driverops,		/* Type of module. This one is a driver */
[10:08:20] <qiyong> is there orther types of modules?
[10:08:25] <palowoda> Heck I thought powernow was supported on the recent builds period on intel cpu's.
[10:09:09] <palowoda> Isn't frkit kind of obsolete?
[10:10:37] *** pjfloyd has quit IRC
[10:11:18] <sickness> palowoda: I don't know that's what I wanted to know =) if you should not use frkit/powernowadm, what's the command to scale the cpu frequency of cpus as of now? =) (sxce 101)
[10:12:00] <palowoda> Cool maybe it was integrated.
[10:12:25] <palowoda> Shesh.
[10:12:41] <sickness> heh...
[10:13:03] <Jabka> palowoda , thanks for the link
[10:13:30] *** pjfloyd has joined #opensolaris
[10:13:33] <Jabka> so i understand if need to port packages to opensolaris it is better to use IPS right ?
[10:14:27] <palowoda> IPS for OpenSolaris, SVR4 package for SXCE.
[10:14:56] <palowoda> SVR4 package can be converted to IPS.
[10:15:48] *** anilg has quit IRC
[10:17:05] <palowoda> Actually SVR4 packages are converted to the repositories of IPS.
[10:17:57] <palowoda> Sounds a little gross at first glance.
[10:18:22] *** WormDrink has quit IRC
[10:18:32] *** WormDrink has joined #opensolaris
[10:19:09] <palowoda> Like sticking one packing system up the other packaging systems a**.  But it has some logic value.
[10:22:57] <palowoda> By the way SVR4 packaging is a dead end route.  Sun will discontinue it just like Xsun went to Xorg and CDE went to Gnome.
[10:23:06] *** Fish has joined #opensolaris
[10:24:03] <palowoda> And sendmail went to .... friggen sendmail.
[10:33:50] *** _coredump_ has quit IRC
[10:34:57] <h3sp4wn> palowoda: They may change their mind (Judging by the past its not too unlikely)
[10:36:42] <mikl> I still don't get why they chose to create IPS instead of just adopting one of those that are already out there?
[10:37:14] <h3sp4wn> mikl: One of the reasons is that they don't want people running scripts
[10:37:29] <h3sp4wn> (as part of installing the package)
[10:37:41] <palowoda> And upgrading zones.
[10:39:09] <palowoda> IPS is kind of a path for upgrading zones.  SVR packaging is kind of hopeless with zones.
[10:40:06] *** _coredump_ has joined #opensolaris
[10:43:33] <palowoda> h3sp4wn: With respect to opensolaris.org using postfix they made thier mind up.  That is all that has to be said.
[10:45:41] <h3sp4wn> palowoda: I would say they decided for their use case they didn't need sendmail
[10:46:17] <palowoda> For some reason.
[10:50:24] <h3sp4wn> yeah but the needs opensolaris.org do not necessarily represent the needs of *everyone*
[10:50:49] *** ericjray has joined #opensolaris
[10:52:00] <palowoda> opensolaris.org doesn't define the needs of who intgrates which mail transport.  Should it?
[10:52:44] <palowoda> Or should it be Sun that defines the standard mail program?
[10:53:57] <palowoda> Or should I say mail transport.

[11:22:28] <Michael39> ?
[11:22:59] <h3sp4wn> Michael39: Supposed to be time based releases every 6 months
[11:23:18] <h3sp4wn> so more likely to be 2009.05
[11:23:20] <_mary_kate_> Michael39: the next release will be 2008.11
[11:23:28] <Auralis> 2008.11 is the next official release build, and then after that somewhere in the first half of 2009
[11:23:39] <Michael39> ok, thanks.. I have been keeping up with this.. and I think there's 2 more months left. :)

[13:53:35] <WormDrink> but then i have to download 600mb

[13:56:58] <houst0n-> I've never actually used the companion cd, I believe most of the stuff on there is pretty dated
[13:57:06] <houst0n-> Skip it - use blastwave! =)
[13:57:18] <_mary_kate_> not only dated, but it doesn't get updates

[17:57:04] <Tobbe> I wanted to try OpenSolaris out, so I downloaded osol-0811-100a.iso (750mb cd iso) and ran it in VirtualBox. It's so slow though even the mouse doesn't move smooth. I literally have to wait like 10 seconds for the mouse cursor to jump to it's new position after moving it. What could be wrong?
[17:57:16] <klg> xRaich[o]2x: i don't mean the background colors, what you are suggesting , i'm already aware of
[17:57:17] *** art-vandelay has quit IRC

[17:58:12] <klg> xRaich[o]2x: what i'm asking is like in linux, once u enable syntax highlighting in vim, u can see the code in different colors, i'm not getting that
[17:58:27] <Asako> and has anybody benchmarked zfs against linux LVM?
[17:58:30] <xRaich[o]2x> export TERM=xterm-color
[17:58:56] <xRaich[o]2x> vim should be colorful after that

[18:01:04] <Socapex_2K> Hello everybody. I am having trouble accessing internet (through a home LAN). I've found solaris VIA Rhine drivers supplied by via themeselves here:http://www.softwarepatch.com/utilities/viaethernet.html
[18:01:29] <h3sp4wn> Asako: It would be like comparing a nuclear sub to a rowing boat so not much use
[18:01:45] <Socapex_2K> Installation went smoothly and my device driver utility posts that the driver is working correctly
[18:01:49] *** Macabee has joined #opensolaris
[18:03:04] <Socapex_2K> can anybody help? in the instruction, after installation i should have edited /etc/hostname.xxx# to /etc/hostname.fets#
[18:03:11] <Socapex_2K> I cannot find this file
[18:03:24] <h3sp4wn> you have to create it
[18:03:36] <Socapex_2K> oh!
[18:03:45] <Asako> h3sp4wn, just for curiosity
[18:03:53] <Asako> and it does have use in business decisions
[18:04:00] <Socapex_2K> and what would I include in the file
[18:04:11] <Asako> guess I could build some boxes and run tests
[18:04:48] <xRaich[o]2x> benchmarks usually just show how good stuff is at.... well.... benchmarks
[18:04:58] <jbit> Socapex_2K: the hostname for that adapter (whatever you want)
[18:06:03] <jbit> Socapex_2K: it shouldn't be requried though, what issues are you having?
[18:06:19] <Socapex_2K> No connexion to internet
[18:06:20] <Socapex_2K> ...
[18:06:27] <jbit> that's not very descriptive..
[18:06:32] <Socapex_2K> sorry
[18:06:43] <Socapex_2K> i'm fairly new
[18:06:44] <Asako> think I found some from sun any way
[18:06:54] <Socapex_2K> what should I post that could help?
[18:06:56] <Socapex_2K> ifconfig -a
[18:06:58] <Socapex_2K> ?
[18:07:06] <Socapex_2K> or something of the likes
[18:07:25] <Asako> ifconfig -a would work
[18:07:26] <h3sp4wn> Asako: Depends it only has use if you perform them yourself
[18:07:43] <Asako> that requires time
[18:07:55] <Socapex_2K> ok, it'll take a while to retype it. here goes
[18:08:54] <Asako> I love how solaris can even tell what dimm banks are in use
[18:09:21] <h3sp4wn> Asako: without it being done yourself then you cannot really trust
[18:09:43] <jbit> Asako: and pci slots, although it's mistaken on my system ;)
[18:11:21] <h3sp4wn> Asako: And people benchmark stupid stuff like speed to repair when a drive goes (you can make that fast as hell but while its going on the system is useless)
[18:11:38] <klg> xRaich[o]2x: one more question, how to enable color scheme for the listings etc., like if i do "ls -l" then directories, files  etc should be shown in different colors
[18:12:14] <xRaich[o]2x> klg: if you user gnu ls use an alias ls --color=always
[18:12:26] <Asako> h3sp4wn, I know, raid recovery is part of my job
[18:12:36] <Asako> most controllers have a setting for rebuild speed
[18:12:58] <Asako> I think hardware raid is pointless any way, plenty of cpu cycles to spare these days
[18:13:21] <Asako> much easier to just plug in some disks and tell zfs/md to mirror them
[18:14:08] <rewolf-> how is it with the root zfs to mirror ?
[18:14:24] <h3sp4wn> rewolf-: With 2008.05 or SXCE ?
[18:14:47] <rewolf-> 2008.05
[18:15:12] <Asako> my desktop is mirrored
[18:15:15] <h3sp4wn> You have to do it after the install afaik then
[18:15:23] <Asako> not with the new build
[18:15:29] <Asako> just select two disks to use
[18:15:43] <Asako> but even after it takes like 2 seconds

[18:16:11] <Socapex_2K> this is it
[18:16:17] <Asako> looks like fets0
[18:16:25] <rewolf-> does the new build handle making both disks bootable?
[18:16:31] <Asako> not sure
[18:16:37] <rewolf-> i remember something about that i was fiddling with :)
[18:16:50] <Socapex_2K> so I would creat a file named /etc/hostname.fets0
[18:16:54] <Socapex_2K> and it should work?
[18:17:01] <Socapex_2K> nothing in the file?
[18:17:09] <h3sp4wn> The SXCE installer is just logical how its done
[18:17:09] <Asako> it needs the settings
[18:17:31] <Socapex_2K> so I would include
[18:17:39] <Socapex_2K> fets0: flags=201004843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,DHCP,IPv4,CoS> mtu 1500 index 2

[18:17:42] <Asako> no
[18:17:46] <Socapex_2K> :(
[18:17:57] <Asako> not sure exactly what it needs since I use dhcp
[18:18:09] <Asako> you could just run the network config app
[18:19:05] <Socapex_2K> under admin>network?
[18:19:14] <Asako> yes
[18:19:36] <Socapex_2K> this doesn't work. complains about Network Auto-magic NWAM being enable
[18:19:41] <Socapex_2K> i had tried it
[18:19:47] <Asako> oh yeah

[18:21:08] <Asako> svcadm enable network/physical:default
[18:21:10] <Socapex_2K> ill check if im using dhcp. the router is on the computer im using right now
[18:21:13] <Asako> then configure the static ip
[18:21:26] <Asako> yeah, router should have a dhcp server
[18:21:53] <jbit> he said it's some via rhine binary driver, could be that it "doesn't work" or so
[18:22:01] <Socapex_2K> so should i disable nwam
[18:22:06] <Asako> no
[18:22:18] <Asako> see if you can get dhcp to work first
[18:22:19] <jbit> did dmesg say anything interesting about the device?
[18:22:30] <Asako> klg, solaris is not linux
[18:22:50] <Asako> the user land defaults are for compatibility
[18:23:44] <Asako> you could always put /usr/gnu/bin in your path first
[18:24:17] <klg> xRaich[o]2x: it would be gr8 if you could write a .bashrc file with all these small small settings in it, so that ppl can just download & use them
[18:24:55] <klg> Asako: i know, i'm just talking about the bash shell
[18:25:05] <Asako> haven't changed my bash rc much
[18:25:21] <xRaich[o]2x> klg: i don't really use bash. i keep my bashrc pretty default to have somekind of linux fallback when i need it
[18:26:34] <Asako> http://pastebin.ca/1243322 that's mine
[18:27:23] <Auralis_> zsh ftw! :)
[18:27:34] <klg> Asako: i know solaris is not linux, but bash shell is the same, if u see the bashrc in linux, its pretty neat & comprehensive with many default settings, again it is matter of personal choice and opinion
[18:27:35] <hrist> ohy eah
[18:28:00] <hrist> *oh yeah, zsh is great :-)
[18:28:15] <Asako> is bash the default shell any way?
[18:28:21] <Asako> thought it was sh
[18:28:45] <Asako> and for Sun to change bash rc would break a lot of people's scripts
[18:28:45] <xRaich[o]2x> i prefer ksh93 right now

[18:30:11] <Asako> it's nice
[18:30:25] <hrist> based on the fact that I don't understand my .zshrc I won't share it *g*
[18:30:33] <klg> Asako: r u using some command line client for connecting to irc, just curious as u've exported the IRC name in the bashrc file
[18:30:44] <Asako> I was
[18:30:51] <Asako> then I started using xchat
[18:31:31] <klg> Asako: bash is the default shell on opensolaris 2008, sxde, belenix etc
[18:31:37] <Asako> ah, sweet
[18:31:44] <klg> solaris 10 & earlier versions still use sh
[18:31:51] <xRaich[o]2x> hrist: zsh is a great shell but after looking at the almost unreadable code and finding a pretty serious bugs it dumped it.

[19:07:32] *** kim0 has quit IRC
[19:08:00] <oxygene> klg: it was reported to work once. otoh, lx zones only provide linux2.4 system calls, so if skype moved to linux2.6 executables, it won't work

[19:09:31] <oxygene> heh :)
[19:09:38] *** Socapex_2K_ has quit IRC
[19:09:51] <_mary_kate_> debian stable still uses a libc that supports linux 2.4, so as long as skype want to support that distribution, they probably won't require 2.6
[19:10:20] *** Auralis has joined #opensolaris
[19:12:20] <oxygene> _mary_kate_: it mostly depends on the crt0 stuff that's embedded into the binaries. so if you build on a 2.6-aware system, the libc use might be 2.4-compatible, but the code right after the entry point isn't.
[19:13:01] <_mary_kate_> oxygene: but the crt0 comes from the libc, no?  so if they're building on libc 2.3 (which presumably they would in order to support it), the crt will still support 2.4..

[19:15:47] <theRealBall> hi
[19:16:04] <Asako> yes, os2008 has them
[19:16:23] <Asako> I was messing with a lx zone running centos 3.9
[19:16:28] <th> Asako: why do you want to run X in there?
[19:16:48] <Asako> guess you could use X11 forwarding

[19:23:23] <klg> svcs -a  | grep volfs, returns nothing on os2008, so how can i enable this service for installing lx zone
[19:23:44] <_mary_kate_> you don't need volfs, you just need to mount the cdrom.  volfs would do that automatically
[19:25:26] <klg> _mary_kate_: in the documentation they've mentioed it,      http://opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/install/
[19:26:51] <Tobbe> I'm running osol-0811-100a inside virtualbox, but it's slow it's unusable (takes about five minutes to launch the console, if it starts at all). Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I'm running on a Core2Duo 1.7GHz, 1GB RAM.
[19:27:47] <Auralis> more ram, a lot more and install the guest additions
[19:27:51] <klg> Tobbe: by default opensolaris needs 1 GB ram
[19:28:17] <Tobbe> I only have 1GB, so I give 512 to opensolaris
[19:28:47] <throwt> pretty much, solaris is a ram hog
[19:28:54] <Tobbe> but there must be something wrong. The mouse doesn't even move
[19:28:57] *** edgy has joined #opensolaris
[19:29:42] <Tobbe> I move the cursor, wait 10 seconds, and then the cursor has moved to the new position...
[19:30:01] <e^ipi> more than likely the harddrive ( or virtual hd anyways ) is grinding
[19:30:04] <throwt> is reserving 512mb of ram pegging your host?
[19:30:17] <Tobbe> not really (host is WinXP)
[19:30:23] <e^ipi> likely culprit on that is swap because you don't have enough memory
[19:30:38] <e^ipi> virtualization on a machine with 1GB of ram is pretty much a no-go

[19:32:10] <throwt> put in the disc and reboot ;)
[19:32:14] <e^ipi> Tobbe: ram is the issue. so don't get discouraged
[19:32:21] <e^ipi> and yeah, what throwt said
[19:32:23] <e^ipi> it's a livecd

[19:33:03] <e^ipi> th: i would'nt deploy this box in production, it's way too much of a hack job for that

[19:35:30] <th> e^ipi: ahh - k ;)
[19:35:44] <th> e^ipi: i've some of those as well - and yea - ram is cheap for this target.
[19:36:50] <Tobbe> maybe you guys can answer two of the questions I tried to answer myself by running the livecd... Does opensolaris have screen and irssi? So I can connect to it using ssh and chat on irc...
[19:37:09] <th> Tobbe: i'm running screen on sxce
[19:37:36] <throwt> by default, since he wants to run from the livecd
[19:38:15] <Tobbe> th: great :)
[19:38:25] <abisen> i am planning to build a home NAS using Solaris. For which i would be compiling a lot of packages and installing mysql/apache/UPnP... which version of solaris i should be downloading. (I am very new to Solaris) and I want to use ZFS from Solaris (and not BSD)
[19:38:41] <e^ipi> Tobbe: 2008.05 does not. 2008.11 should
[19:38:46] <e^ipi> it's in the repository in either case
[19:38:58] <e^ipi> screen putback in b100
[19:38:59] <abisen> i see that there are three versions that are available (Solaris, Open Solaris, and then there is this express )
[19:39:04] <Tobbe> sounds good :)
[19:39:30] <th> SUNWscreen is what i'm running
[19:39:32] <e^ipi> abisen: yes, there are several distributions
[19:39:40] <throwt> abisen: most likely no need to compile anything...  and samp stack is available from sun's site.  however for non-prod/no support contract, i recommend scxe
[19:40:02] <e^ipi> s/from sun's site/by default/g
[19:40:23] <abisen> e^ipi: scxe how can i download that and how do i find the amd64 version of that ... I am just confused because of somany diferent sites/links
[19:40:28] <abisen> how can i get the binary (DVD) iso of 2008.11
[19:40:36] <e^ipi> abisen: there is no specifically amd64 version
[19:40:37] <abisen> amd64 (scxe)
[19:40:53] <e^ipi> abisen: the OS chooses the correct mode to go in to on boot
[19:41:00] <abisen> awesome
[19:41:13] <e^ipi> the download link is here: http://opensolaris.org/os/downloads/
[19:41:30] <e^ipi> SXCE == solaris express CE
[19:41:34] <abisen> i am on that page.. and on the right side it shows Quick Download Links
[19:41:52] <abisen> CD (b98) DVD (b101) 2 segments and 1 segment
[19:42:03] <e^ipi> just pick the one-segment DVD
[19:42:09] <abisen> would those be 2008.05 or 2008.11 (i think 2008.05)
[19:42:20] <e^ipi> no
[19:42:24] <abisen> 2008.11
[19:42:45] <abisen> ?
[19:42:45] <e^ipi> the first link is opensolaris 2008.05, the second is SXCE
[19:42:58] <e^ipi> 2008.11 isn't out yet but you can download betas of it
[19:43:08] *** sstallion has quit IRC
[19:43:17] <abisen> never mind i'll stick to the released version
[19:43:24] <abisen> esp. if this is  my first time
[19:43:45] <abisen> e^ipi: you have been really helpful.. Now the second and last questions
[19:44:14] <e^ipi> ultimately it's sun we're talking about so even the unstable version is pretty damned stable most of the time ( b99, 100, and 101-not-a were an exception )
[19:44:16] <abisen> is there any way i can run a virtual machine in Solaris ( version of windows or linux ) ?
[19:44:27] <e^ipi> several
[19:44:34] <Auralis> virtualbox works nicely
[19:44:41] <e^ipi> virtualbox, xen, or brandz
[19:44:43] <abisen> is this free as in beer ?
[19:44:46] <e^ipi> yes
[19:44:48] <e^ipi> all 3 are
[19:44:48] <abisen> oh xen is in solaris ?
[19:44:48] <Auralis> yes
[19:44:54] <e^ipi> and free as in source too
[19:44:59] <throwt> xen has been rebranded as xvm for solaris
[19:45:29] <abisen> okay so that solves my last problem... just need to getting used to Solaris.. I hink if everything works then this would be my new distro... ( ZFS is really big for me )
[19:45:40] <e^ipi> yeah, zfs is pretty cool
[19:45:47] <Asako> it's my new OS
[19:45:58] <abisen> e^ipi: so if the beta's are stable (;)) then how can i get the scxe 2008.11
[19:45:58] <abisen> ?
[19:45:59] <th> e^ipi: 101-not-a?
[19:46:09] <Asako> genunix.org
[19:46:16] <e^ipi> th:  b101 was broken, and so they respun it as 101a
[19:46:16] <abisen> i might just go with them as they would have the newest binaries and i am not making a production server
[19:46:26] <Asako> 2008.05 is buggy any way
[19:46:40] <th> e^ipi: i thought 100/100a was broken so it was skipped and 101 was next
[19:46:41] <e^ipi> abisen: SXCE is the latest version, just look at the original link
[19:46:49] <e^ipi> th: yes, and then 101 was broken too
[19:46:59] <abisen> sol-nv-b101-x86-dvd.iso
[19:47:10] <e^ipi> abisen: that'd be solaris express
[19:47:12] <abisen> this is what sxce referes too
[19:47:13] <e^ipi> aka SXCE
[19:47:16] <e^ipi> yes
[19:47:24] <e^ipi> that's the latest build
[19:47:40] <abisen> okay so i'll stick to this.. .let me download it
[19:48:06] <throwt> do sxce upgrades with zfs+zones work yet?
[19:48:14] <th> e^ipi: so the latest sxce download (1segment dvd for 101) is broken?
[19:48:20] <abisen> okay so virtualbox, brandz or xen which one is easiest ...
[19:48:21] <th> e^ipi: or is it a 101a named 101?
[19:48:37] <e^ipi> th: no, the SXCE build isn't broken, the ON tree was

[19:48:47] <e^ipi> the broken SXCE was never released

[19:48:50] <glguy> What checksum function does Sun use?
[19:48:58] <e^ipi> abisen: virtualbox is probably easiest
[19:49:01] <glguy> I downloaded a checksums.txt when I downloaded SXCE
[19:49:03] <e^ipi> glguy: cksum ?
[19:49:14] <abisen> okay thanks a ton guys...
[19:49:24] <abisen> really appreciate the help...
[19:49:31] <e^ipi> glguy: oh, that... probably md5sum
[19:49:38] <klg> glguy: md5sum
[19:49:52] <glguy> OK, thanks.
[19:49:59] <glguy> Is it weird that they don't specify?
[19:50:20] <glguy> Or does everyone just assume md5 over sum, cksum, ripemd160 or sha1
[19:50:48] <e^ipi> i thought the download page explicitly said 'md5 sums'
[19:51:04] <e^ipi> admittedly, i haven't used dlc in a while
[19:51:48] *** not-me-guv has joined #opensolaris
[19:51:56] <glguy> On the OpenSolaris page they seem to specify which hash they are using

[20:07:46] <abisen> e^ipi: one more question... how is the support for mp3 and video codec's in solaris.. considering it's not GNU GPL do you see more out of the box support or do i have to download the codes and binaries from all the places to make everything work (vls, mplayer et. al.)
[20:08:08] <houst0n-_> abisen: You can download mplayer or vlc from a number of places
[20:08:14] <Auralis> just get mplayer and the gestreamer plugins and ya pretty much set

[20:09:33] <abisen> houst0n-_: thaks.. i'll check it out
[20:09:58] <houst0n-_> Let us know if you find any bugs! =) There is a newer rev of mplayer in testing if you feel like trying it out - blastwave.network.com/testing/index_cron.html
[20:10:01] <e^ipi> actually it'd be at http://opencsw.org/ these days
[20:10:06] * houst0n-_ frowns
[20:10:15] <e^ipi> blastwave is now indiana only IIRC
[20:10:24] <houst0n-_> Bah fuck off, troll :P
[20:10:44] <abisen> wow... in simple english ... what does that two means... CSW / Indiana
[20:11:05] <houst0n-_> CSW = community software
[20:11:06] <e^ipi> abisen: sorry, indiana is the 2008.05/2008.11 distro
[20:11:19] <houst0n-_> which is now split between two organization - blastwave.org, and opencsw.org
[20:11:26] <e^ipi> there was some silly infighting that happened with the blastwave people a while back
[20:11:44] <abisen> so i should use blastwave as i am using 2008.xx or CSW ??
[20:12:06] <e^ipi> if you're using 2008.xx, you'll use blastwave/csw
[20:12:17] <e^ipi> no
[20:12:17] <abisen> meaning both
[20:12:20] <houst0n-_> I've not looked at opencsw.org recently, but blastwave has some decent packages
[20:12:24] <houst0n-_> I'm a tad biased though
[20:12:25] *** edgy has left #opensolaris
[20:12:33] <e^ipi> ignore what I just said
[20:12:37] <Auralis> build your own pkgs, it will also help you learn the system
[20:12:44] <e^ipi> 2008.XX have their own stuff,
[20:12:50] <e^ipi> pkg(5)
[20:13:02] <e^ipi> but you said you're using sxce, so just use blastwave
[20:13:17] <abisen> e^ipi: okay... i'll stick to blastwave
[20:14:10] <abisen> Auralis: I totally agree but my work now a days does not gives me enough time to play... only over week eneds i can do these things.. (i have some building exp) as I used to work on Gentoo and Ubuntu (i still have my Gentoo box running my web server)

[20:15:14] <houst0n-_> they're not to be trusted
[20:15:16] <e^ipi> heh
[20:15:17] <abisen> but i might get a server or two of solaris once i am comfortable... as ZFS is a bit motivating ... factor
[20:15:26] <houst0n-_> I swear like 80% of them use emacs
[20:15:37] <Asako> heh
[20:15:39] <abisen> heh :) i am a vi person
[20:15:43] <Asako> we have people that use nano

[20:16:04] <houst0n-_> vim yep, perfect
[20:16:07] <abisen> did anybody check out zfs+

[20:16:40] <e^ipi> something or other rolled on top of ZFS
[20:16:40] <abisen> neither do I ... have been hearing about them for some time
[20:16:50] <abisen> they rolled some addition sto ZFS
[20:17:01] <abisen> that gives them the ability to do de-Duplication on the wire

[20:27:17] <Asako> something like gfs is probably the best bet
[20:27:23] <abisen> that's more due to the licensing and other issues rather than technical
[20:27:31] <abisen> Asako: GFS Sucks ..
[20:27:40] <Asako> what about ocfs?
[20:27:53] <abisen> GPFS is good :)
[20:27:53] <mui> zfs live replication would be insanely cool
[20:28:01] <abisen> with their Solaris and Windows Support...
[20:28:05] <abisen> GPFS is a killer
[20:28:06] <Asako> yeah it would be

[20:28:29] <abisen> SAN/NAS and PFS in the same codebase is GPFS
[20:28:55] <Asako> NFS works, but has some issues
[20:28:57] <abisen> For free GFS at a Price (SNFS or GPFS)
[20:29:04] <abisen> or maybe QFS
[20:29:34] <Auralis> suncluster comes with a clusterFS, might be worth to check out.

[21:53:37] <e^ipi> cspan works
[21:53:52] <e^ipi> well, it uses realplayer so some definition of "works" but i can view it anyways
[21:54:58] <Asako> lol
[21:55:05] <Asako> and windows media
[21:55:27] <jbit> isn't there a realplayer for solaris? :)
[21:55:35] <Asako> there is

[21:55:44] <e^ipi> there is, i just hate real....Loading.....player

[22:01:51] <Asako> xvid with mp3 audio plays fine

[22:02:28] <Asako> somebody needs to build ushare for solaris
[22:02:39] <jbit> i did, and mediatomb ;)
[22:02:48] <Asako> I tried and the compile failed
[22:02:50] <jbit> mediatomb "works" better
[22:02:55] <jbit> but i hate the user interface
[22:03:33] <Asako> I'm using a windows desktop any way
[22:03:46] <Asako> can't play diablo on solaris, hehe
[22:04:01] <jbit> my server at home runs solaris, which is why i built the upnp servers ;)
[22:04:02] <e^ipi> sure you can
[22:04:05] <e^ipi> there's wine packages
[22:04:17] <Asako> eh, that's a pain
[22:04:18] <jbit> wine build cleanly anyway
[22:05:00] <Asako> some day I'll probably reinstall
[22:05:07] <Asako> starting to have weird issues
[22:05:36] <e^ipi> i had to reinstall because i nuked something at around build 99 IIRC
[22:05:38] <Asako> dvd drive won't read discs, reboot and it's fine, etc.
[22:05:51] <e^ipi> which made me sad because the initial install on that machine was build 47 and i had liveupgraded up all the way
[22:06:06] <Asako> and zfs would be perfect for my media library

[22:10:25] <jbit> shame my hardware sucks and i had to play with the ahci driver to get it working in 64bit mode
[22:11:23] <Asako> in theory, I could give each mysql db its own file system
[22:11:43] <Asako> hmm
[22:12:55] <e^ipi> Asako: you should
[22:13:04] <e^ipi> and you should also set the block size to be correct
[22:13:28] <Asako> I just want to mess around with compression and stuff
[22:13:32] <jbit> i was going to say, isn't there an advantage in doing that such you can optimzie the block size per database
[22:13:40] <e^ipi> jbit: yeah
[22:13:47] <e^ipi> zfs set recordsize=?? pool/fs
[22:13:53] <jbit> the compression is really cool for source filesystems
[22:13:53] <e^ipi> on postgres it's 8k
[22:13:59] <e^ipi> IIRC mysql uses 32k blocks
[22:14:10] <jbit> the source is almost as small outside a tar.gz as it is inside ;)
[22:14:21] *** freakazoid0223 has quit IRC
[22:14:24] <Asako> I enable it for user home directories

[22:39:38] <e^ipi> jbit: well, i wouldn't say working from home is 'relaxed' per se, just that geography doesn't matter so long as you produce

[22:51:26] <jbit> and usually arch. knowledge
