[00:00:30] <dsch04> OK, so where do I look to find out why it's taking so long for my box to boot?
[00:00:45] *** Auralis has quit IRC
[00:03:15] <eviljames> Do you boot often?
[00:03:28] *** backspace has joined #opensolaris
[00:03:36] <dsch04> No
[00:03:57] *** Tusk21 has quit IRC
[00:04:28] *** ericjray has quit IRC
[00:04:30] <dsch04> Looking in /var/adm/messages, I see these two lines:
[00:04:32] <dsch04> Mar 11 22:35:53 hero genunix: [ID 936769 kern.info] lx_systrace0 is /pseudo/lx_systrace@0
[00:04:32] <dsch04> Mar 11 22:54:52 hero genunix: [ID 454863 kern.info] dump on /dev/zvol/dsk/rpool/dump size 2047 MB
[00:05:08] <jmcp> those are normal boot messages
[00:05:23] <dsch04> Yes, but they're 20 mins apart
[00:05:44] <seanmcg> dsch04, boot with -v can help. dtrace anonymous probes showing timestamps when functions entry/return can help too. the -A flag to dtrace.
[00:05:53] <jmcp> dsch04: so boot with -v and see what the module is which identifies itself last before the dumpadm output
[00:06:07] <dsch04> OK
[00:06:18] * dsch04 off to bed shortly, so a job for another day I think
[00:06:56] <dsch04> I notice the snapshot service has transitioned to maintenance mode
[00:07:10] <jmcp> have a look at the logfile
[00:07:11] <dsch04> I wonder if it's a zfs issue causing the lengthy boot process?
[00:07:16] <jmcp> it's possible
[00:07:22] <jmcp> but again, use the -v arg on your kernel$ line
[00:09:54] <Teltariat> How can I ask pkginfo to give me the file listing of the contents of an SVR4 package?
[00:09:55] *** servo- has quit IRC
[00:10:31] <Teltariat> or something
[00:10:37] <dsch04> man pkgchk
[00:10:47] <dsch04> (I think)

[00:18:28] <Deiu> Any chance we'll see tcpdump in opensolaris soon? :)
[00:19:23] *** BillyBop has quit IRC
[00:19:38] <comay> Deiu wireshark is coming
[00:20:32] <Deiu> Sweet! But I can always find good use for tcpdump, even with wireshark installed. :)
[00:20:58] <Tusk2> mmmh am i suppose to load a x64 kernel to see all my 4Gig ram ?
[00:21:02] <nachox> i think there was a tcpdump case in arc-discuss not long ago
[00:21:49] <nachox> Tusk2, i'd be surprised if you cant see them with a 32 bit kernel, but why would you load a 32 bit kernel in a 64 bit capable pc?

[00:27:30] <cambazz> hello. parts of the netbeans console gets garbaged. some sort of weird video problem
[00:27:43] *** webmink has quit IRC
[00:27:44] <jmcp> perhaps talk to netbeans people then
[00:27:47] <cambazz> i tried turning off the effects, and problem still did not go away
[00:27:55] <cambazz> jmcp: well it does it for other programs
[00:28:01] <jmcp> "it" ?
[00:28:08] <jmcp> I guess you're running compiz
[00:28:15] <cambazz> yes and no
[00:28:24] <cambazz> i turned off compiz, i still get the same
[00:28:27] *** alain10 has joined #opensolaris
[00:28:31] <cambazz> i am using the nvidia driver however
[00:28:39] <jmcp> are you up to date with it?
[00:29:06] <cambazz> hmmm. i am not sure how to check that. i am up to date with opensolaris update if thats what you mean
[00:29:24] <cambazz> also, the computer does not shutdown reboot, properly, but only sometimes. i mean acpi shutdown
[00:29:46] <jmcp> so you have a number of problems
[00:31:23] <nachox> Tusk2, i dont think you can avoid installing the 64 bit part of solaris in x86, what does isainfo -k return?
[00:31:49] *** syd`_ has quit IRC
[00:31:58] <jmcp> Tusk2: if your cpu supports 64bit, then by default you will be booted into the 64bit kernel
[00:33:46] <jmcp> cambazz: sorry, I can't help you much
[00:34:01] <jmcp> cambazz: you could try running pkg info NVDAgraphics to find out what the version is
[00:34:01] *** devians has joined #opensolaris
[00:35:11] *** Deiu has quit IRC
[00:36:14] <cambazz> jmcp: yes, but how do I find which version is latest
[00:36:22] <techqbert> Anybody know why my pkg image-update seemingly didn't update. http://pastebin.com/d1008a061
[00:36:33] <jmcp> cambazz: you should "pkg refresh"
[00:36:44] <cambazz> jmcp: and this updatemanager
[00:36:45] <jmcp> which build of OSOL are you running?
[00:36:47] <cambazz> does it work
[00:36:56] <cambazz> i am running 8 11
[00:37:01] <cambazz> the latest i believe
[00:37:14] <jmcp> 2008.11
[00:37:19] *** sparc-kly has quit IRC
[00:37:26] <cambazz> yes, thats it
[00:37:32] <jmcp> and you can confirm whether you're running "the latest" by starting with uname -r
[00:37:34] <jmcp> uname -a, rather
[00:37:39] <cambazz> the package update program, finds no update
[00:37:45] <eviljames> cambazz: Are you on dev?
[00:38:06] <cambazz> SunOS wizard 5.11 snv_101b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris
[00:38:12] <jmcp> that's not The Latest
[00:38:14] <cambazz> eviljames: dev?
[00:38:15] <eviljames> cambazz: what does "pkg authority" state?
[00:38:33] <cambazz> opensolaris.org (preferred) http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release/
[00:38:38] <eviljames> ah, so you're on release then.
[00:38:57] <eviljames> cambazz: pfexec pkg set-authority -P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ opensolaris.org
[00:39:01] <eviljames> err.
[00:39:01] <cambazz> is 2008.11 not the latest
[00:39:09] <jmcp> I just told you it isn't
[00:39:12] <eviljames> cambazz: pfexec pkg set-authority -P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ dev
[00:39:18] <jmcp> it's the latest *liveCD* version, but not the latest build
[00:39:25] <eviljames> jmcp: It is the latest release, not the latest available build.
[00:39:40] <cambazz> i am just a java developer using and enjoying opensolaris. i have not used opensolaris since university days
[00:39:44] <cambazz> i love it
[00:39:44] <jmcp> eviljames: that's what I just said
[00:39:56] <eviljames> jmcp: Not quite what you just said :D (/me pedant)
[00:39:59] *** kleppari has quit IRC
[00:40:19] <jmcp> meh
[00:40:35] <jmcp> I've got more important things to pedant about today
[00:40:38] <techqbert> Has pkg image-update changed much? It doesn't look like my machine updated. http://pastebin.com/d1008a061
[00:40:47] <eviljames> cambazz: The command I just pasted to you will move you to a different "repo" to use maybe a more familiar term.
[00:41:10] <eviljames> techqbert: read what I've been posting to cambazz and see if it applies? ("pkg authority"
[00:41:17] <cambazz> ok i get it. just not gonna do it before i finish the current work, deadline is tomorrow
[00:41:20] <jmcp> cambazz: it's similar to "stable" vs "testing"
[00:41:29] <cambazz> jmcp: i understand
[00:41:33] * eviljames won't get pedantic about that :D
[00:41:44] <jmcp> oh, goodie :)
[00:41:51] *** sparc-kly has joined #opensolaris
[00:41:51] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o sparc-kly
[00:41:51] <eviljames> jmcp: What other things are pedant-worthy? CLEARLY I am bored
[00:41:51] <cambazz> there are some ubuntu guys at work
[00:42:09] <Teltariat> I use Ubuntu on my work machine, OSOL on my laptop
[00:42:10] <jmcp> eviljames: code reviews
[00:42:15] <cambazz> and i bet them opensolaris is faster for a pizza. i won of course
[00:42:16] <jmcp> eviljames: I'm reviewing the code for a new hba driver
[00:42:27] <jmcp> cambazz: nice :-)
[00:42:41] <eviljames> jmcp: That is certainly more worthy of the pedantry than miscellaneous irc support
[00:42:42] <cambazz> Teltariat: amazingly, the gnome in osol works much better then ubuntu. ubuntu is like a snail
[00:42:43] <Teltariat> The new b108 release is pretty good
[00:42:53] <cambazz> ah, i was going to ask this
[00:42:57] <Teltariat> cambazz: I like both, to tell you the truth
[00:43:00] <eviljames> techqbert: Was it applicable? yea no?
[00:43:02] <techqbert> eviljames: I wish issues were that convergent. I've given up on sound and graphics with my intel d201glya2, i'm only interested in this machine as a file server and NX server. http://pastebin.com/d1008a061
[00:43:08] <jmcp> my latest whinge is that I'm pulling 110 across the Pacific to home, and it's taking *forever*
[00:43:11] *** kate21de has quit IRC
[00:43:17] <cambazz> i think the kernel scheduler latency is set to server.
[00:43:17] *** _Lewellyn has joined #opensolaris
[00:43:26] <jmcp> last build I pulled in went at around 450kb/sec, this one's going at 140kb/sec
[00:43:27] <Teltariat> Build 108 fixed a nasty PCI interrupt bug that was killing me badly and breaking my network autosetup
[00:43:32] <cambazz> is there any way to make it more realtime. like in a desktop machine
[00:43:36] <eviljames> techqbert: what does pkg authority report? You're on /release or /dev ?
[00:43:45] <jmcp> cambazz: that's an annoying thing, that the system isn't intelligent enough to figure out which is better for itself
[00:43:54] <cambazz> or is this just a crazy idea? in linux you can change the dispather priority with kernel
[00:43:55] <jmcp> cambazz: oh, on your opensolaris box?
[00:44:06] <cambazz> yes on my opensolaris box
[00:44:14] <jmcp> cambazz: why do you think it's the scheduler?
[00:44:17] <techqbert> eviljames: i just removed the japanese one that went down, I have neither release or dev on pkg.opensolaris.org:80/
[00:44:32] <cambazz> jmcp: you gonna make fun of me, but I just feel it
[00:44:37] * _Lewellyn missed the start of this, but bets the problem isn't the scheduler
[00:44:37] <jmcp> cambazz: no, I'm not
[00:44:51] <cambazz> jmcp: its like knowing which gear you are on by the sound of the engine...
[00:44:53] <cambazz> heh heh heh
[00:44:55] <jmcp> I've done a bit of performance analysis in the past, and I'm *very* confident in the scheduler
[00:45:02] <jmcp> cambazz: but this is a more complex system
[00:45:11] <cambazz> no i dont mean the scheduler is bad
[00:45:18] *** ravv has quit IRC
[00:45:32] <jmcp> you're assuming that it's the scheduler which is the issue, rather than looking for actual data
[00:45:34] *** ravv has joined #opensolaris
[00:45:43] <cambazz> just the scheduler is tuned in a server way, where the priorities are more equal, it makes multitasks run more slowly
[00:45:55] <cambazz> but takes some time when you fire up firefox no?
[00:45:55] <_Lewellyn> in my experience, the scheduler is very smart. i've used solaris for many many different types of things and the scheduler has never done me wrong
[00:46:05] <_Lewellyn> firefox sucks
[00:46:06] <eviljames> techqbert: above, I pasted to cambazz "pfexec pkg set-authority -P -O http://pkg.opensolaris.org/dev/ dev"
[00:46:08] <_Lewellyn> period.
[00:46:16] <Teltariat> _Lewellyn: I second you.
[00:46:25] <cambazz> _Lewellyn: what do you use for browser?
[00:46:26] <jmcp> cambazz: firefox spends *a lot* of its startup time doing SQLite3 stuff
[00:46:28] <_Lewellyn> also, yay for osol users getting 109
[00:46:30] <Teltariat> But as much as Firefox sucks, its utility outweighs the pain.
[00:46:31] <cambazz> dont tell me lynx
[00:46:31] *** LordIllpalazo has quit IRC
[00:46:34] <jmcp> and that's not a scheduler problem
[00:46:35] <_Lewellyn> cambazz: i usually like to use lynx..
[00:46:37] <_Lewellyn> oh
[00:46:41] <eviljames> techqbert: That should make pkg check the /dev authority (aka repo aka publisher aka whatever) and possibly there are updates waiting for you there
[00:46:42] <_Lewellyn> the, failing that, seamonkey
[00:46:46] <_Lewellyn> failing that, opera
[00:46:53] <eviljames> techqbert: The build that is held in the dev authority is the one marked by IPS: in the topic.
[00:46:57] <cambazz> why not firefox man.
[00:47:12] <_Lewellyn> cambazz: firefox is bloaty and does lots of useless stuff
[00:47:25] <_Lewellyn> seamonkey is firefox, without so much bloat
[00:47:54] <cambazz> i wanted to get seamonkey, then i was too lazy because it was not in the package tool
[00:48:01] <_Lewellyn> it's in SFE
[00:48:13] <cambazz> SFE?
[00:48:18] <_Lewellyn> building mozilla by hand blows
[00:48:23] <_Lewellyn> spec files extra
[00:48:27] <_Lewellyn> google sfe-bootstrap
[00:48:55] <nachox> how can seamonkey be firefox without the bloat? it has a mail client and an html editor and ... an irc client
[00:48:59] *** tosh has quit IRC
[00:49:08] <_Lewellyn> nachox: but it doesn't have the "extensibility"
[00:49:23] <nachox> it's based on the same crappy code
[00:49:38] <_Lewellyn> also, one program for html + mail takes less ram than two programs with lots of overlapping code
[00:50:00] <_Lewellyn> seamonkey is pretty much just the least of the evils for mozilla browsers, that's all
[00:50:11] <nachox> who uses thunderbird these days with gmail? :P
[00:50:20] * _Lewellyn can't stand gmail
[00:50:29] <_Lewellyn> it's now my spamtrap address
[00:50:30] <cambazz> me
[00:50:35] <_Lewellyn> since all the spam goes into the inbox
[00:50:50] <cambazz> gmail spam filter works. imho.
[00:51:09] <_Lewellyn> heh. the last time i logged in, the 15 newest messages were 419 and lottery scams
[00:51:13] <eviljames> That's what I use hotmail for.
[00:51:29] <cambazz> _Lewelyn: do you use the report spam button
[00:51:30] <_Lewellyn> eviljames: ironically, do a MX lookup on greenviolet.net :)
[00:51:53] <techqbert> eviljames: IPS 109? Might I ask why updates are stuck in /dev?
[00:51:54] <_Lewellyn> cambazz: i do for my domain's mail. but i rarely get any in my inbox with my microsoft-hosted email.
[00:52:18] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: it's not a "stable" release? :)
[00:52:21] <eviljames> techqbert: /release is for the most stable stuff, /dev is like a "testing" repo where less-stable and newer stuff goes.
[00:52:33] <cambazz> _Lewellyn: i think it is just the opposite

[00:52:54] <_Lewellyn> cambazz: you think that i really don't get less than 5 messages of spam in my domains' inboxes per day?
[00:53:03] <cambazz> i get 0
[00:53:08] <_Lewellyn> this isn't just like 2 or 3 addresses
[00:53:15] <cambazz> i get spam like once or twice each month.
[00:53:31] <cambazz> i mean i get spam, but spam filter takes them away
[00:53:31] <_Lewellyn> i get around 3K messages/day in just my inboxes
[00:53:45] <cambazz> and gmail has a colloborative filtering structure
[00:53:45] <_Lewellyn> of those, i get literally 1 or 2 spam
[00:53:52] <_Lewellyn> so does microsoft ;)
[00:54:07] <_Lewellyn> and microsoft's tos aren't as permissive towards the company as google's ;)
[00:54:09] <techqbert> ah that was my suspicion. okay. i have 101b here so I guess I'll hold out. What's weird is for once I ran gnome today (svcadm enable gdm) and the GUI came up saying I have all these updates. So that's why I tried pkg image-update and got seemingly nothing but a new BE. http://pastebin.com/d1008a061
[00:54:17] <cambazz> how can you be an opensolaris guy and love microsoft at the same time
[00:54:27] <_Lewellyn> i don't "love" anyone
[00:54:33] <_Lewellyn> i just use the best tool for the job at hand
[00:54:37] <eviljames> techqbert: Yeah, I saw that pastebin. use the set-authority command I pasted above, then run pfexec pkg image-update
[00:55:07] <cambazz> microsoft blows man
[00:55:19] <_Lewellyn> every company blows
[00:55:27] <_Lewellyn> (and that doesn't exclude my own)
[00:55:33] <techqbert> eviljames: would the GUI have done that all automagical or would it have come up short too? What happens if I hold out?
[00:55:45] *** sparc-kly has quit IRC
[00:55:47] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: don't use the gnome gui thing, based off reports i've seen
[00:56:08] <techqbert> _Lewellyn: Yeah I immediately went to CLI.
[00:56:19] <techqbert> good call.
[00:56:26] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: upgrade to 109 ;)
[00:56:55] <_Lewellyn> though, of course, being a dev release, there's some small issues in it.
[00:57:04] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: which video chipset do you use?
[00:57:12] <eviljames> techqbert: I don't really know, I don't use the GUI at all, my system runs headless.

[00:59:45] <jmcp> techqbert: stable ZFS implementation?
[00:59:50] <eviljames> techqbert: The ZFS implementation on Solaris is 8 versions ahead of the one on BSD
[01:00:17] <techqbert> eviljames: haha I believe it.
[01:00:26] <eviljames> Might be 9 by now.
[01:00:37] <techqbert> jmcp: FreeBSD 7 had experimenal ZFS support and piqued my interest.
[01:01:22] <techqbert> _Lewellyn: You're going to get me toying tonight I know. Makes me wish I had a non-production machine lying around.
[01:01:34] <jmcp> techqbert: VirtualBox
[01:01:41] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: i think the most noticeable issues outstanding for most people are related to i915-based stuff
[01:01:58] <_Lewellyn> techqbert: revert to your "stable" boot environment, if it goes south ;)
[01:02:06] * _Lewellyn deleted his 106 BE a bit ago
[01:02:07] <cambazz> question: what should i set the power management in my bios so that my box properly shutsdown
[01:02:15] <cambazz> there is apm, acpi, and acpi2 support
[01:02:26] <_Lewellyn> acpi2 should do it
[01:02:32] <jmcp> I would have chosen acpi
[01:02:34] * jmcp shrugs
[01:02:37] <jmcp> I haven't heard of acpi2
[01:02:46] *** cemerick has joined #opensolaris
[01:02:49] <_Lewellyn> acpi2 is what most "modern" systems use, i think
[01:02:59] <techqbert> jmcp: I actually have vbox installed. I want another hd so vbox will cache on it not my root drive. Maybe I'll toy around with weekend when I'm done with my econ tests.

[01:19:27] <Teltariat> Please help
[01:19:32] <Teltariat> I ask for wisdom and enlightenment
[01:19:34] <stevel> anyone know how to correct SUNWcsr showing up as "partially installed" after a LU?
[01:19:44] <Teltariat> I am running a tool here written in shell, awk and other things
[01:19:56] <jmcp> Teltariat: re-write it in python
[01:19:58] <Teltariat> that makes assumptions that all the different utilities it requires are GNU tools
[01:20:37] *** ggeecko has joined #opensolaris
[01:20:55] <Teltariat> jcmp: Thats not a choice. What /is/ a choice is to probably go hunting for and learning an alternative tool.
[01:21:06] <_Lewellyn> Teltariat: or changing the path for the tool
[01:21:17] <Teltariat> I gotta get all the GNU equivalents, like all of them
[01:21:20] <_Lewellyn> PATH=/usr/gnu/bin:$PATH mytool
[01:21:22] <Teltariat> and stick them somewhere
[01:21:48] <Teltariat> I don't have a /usr/gnu :(
[01:22:01] <nachox> guys, iscsi volumes use ssd too?
[01:22:31] <_Lewellyn> Teltariat: SUNWgnu-coreutils will have the basics
[01:22:33] <nachox> then /usr/sfw, what solaris release are you using?
[01:22:45] *** Cass has joined #opensolaris

[01:32:01] <nrubsig> nachox: not that I am aware of. Character "." is not special outside the context of variables.

[01:32:49] <_Lewellyn> let's say i have 1234567890.tgz and 1234567891.tgz, tab gives me 123456789 and i have to type 2 characters to finish completion
[01:33:15] <infomomo> i am adding a new user to replace the default "root" user, what group should i put my new "user" in ? sysadmin group ?
[01:33:26] <_Lewellyn> i keep meaning to ask if that's desired behavior. but i've dealt with it for enough years that i'm not too worried.
[01:34:13] <nachox> infomomo, replace the root in what way? you want root as a role or a system administrator profile? in any of those cases it doesnt matter in which group it is
[01:35:19] <infomomo> i don't want to use the "root" account, so i want to create another account, i am not surer what group to add him to?
[01:36:34] <_Lewellyn> infomomo: i take it you're used to linux and sudo?
[01:37:18] <infomomo> Lewellyn: guilty as charged :(
[01:37:29] <infomomo> but i am learning UNIX now on Solaris 10
[01:37:36] <infomomo> with a book
[01:37:54] <infomomo> hell of a book i might add :D
[01:38:29] *** syd` has joined #opensolaris
[01:39:40] <_Lewellyn> well, the book should mention pfexec
[01:39:56] <_Lewellyn> and this channel will confuse you if you're learning solaris 10 ;)
[01:40:36] <infomomo> whats better for me ? Solaris or Opensolaris ?
[01:40:45] <infomomo> i am trying to use a pure UNIX system
[01:41:32] <oninoshiko> both are a pure UNIX system, but they are (somewhat) different UNIX systems.
[01:41:47] <e^ipi> oninoshiko: actually only S10 is certified UNIX
[01:41:54] <_Lewellyn> yup
[01:42:01] * oninoshiko stands corrected
[01:42:11] <e^ipi> opensolaris is a unix-like operating system
[01:42:18] <e^ipi> like *BSD
[01:42:23] <_Lewellyn> opensolaris is what osx was for a few years :)
[01:42:43] <_Lewellyn> e^ipi: i thought fbsd is certified?
[01:42:48] <oninoshiko> e^ipi: dont you mean "UNIX system like system" (if you want to get all technical)

[01:53:12] <oninoshiko> http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/docs/faq.html "Refrain from hyphenating a Trademark"
[01:53:24] <e^ipi> eviljames: because getting certified requires planning... and engineering discipline

[02:03:23] <e^ipi> evidently people used to use them for print servers for a while

[02:04:16] <nachox> i've seen an old sco unix manage lots and lots of printers just fine, it wasnt a bad unix at that time...

[02:04:34] <e^ipi> eviljames: no because given the rest of the business... it wasn't a bad idea
[02:05:49] <e^ipi> unless you think SCOX had something of value still
[02:05:59] * eviljames buys stock
[02:06:08] *** syd` has quit IRC
[02:06:27] <nachox> sco got too distracted with linux and did not invest in their unix variant, it got outdated when compared to both solaris and unix, and it was bad at providing linux services, it basically alienated all its income sources in one blow
[02:06:29] <jmcp> iirc, SCO Unix used to be the POS system for KFC in Australia
[02:06:54] <oninoshiko> i dont know... the whole thing where Novell realized that SCO didn't own anything was funny
[02:07:02] <nachox> s/and unix/and linux/
[02:07:53] <_Lewellyn> nachox: the problem is that they tried to force all the SCO OS people to UW :P
[02:07:56] <nachox> and aix 6.1 is not a real UNIX :)
[02:08:00] <_Lewellyn> so they HAD to focus on linux
[02:09:15] <_Lewellyn> OS and UW were totally different products. whoever thought people would migrate was insane
[02:09:41] *** syd` has joined #opensolaris
[02:09:45] <oninoshiko> maybe the same person who though sueing novell was a good idea?
[02:10:28] <oninoshiko> (which, if you look at the legal implications was far more stupid then sueing IBM)
[02:11:05] <oninoshiko> although i suppose it would have come up in the IBM case anyway

[02:29:46] <oninoshiko> actually, openserver is not their only product... I thought they had some thing related to mobile phones (which was the most profitable aspect of their busness)

[02:33:50] <oninoshiko> here is a thought, they want to fix the mortguage crises... why not bail out the people with mortguages?
[02:33:58] <nrubsig> not-me-guv: unlikely. At least in germany the first thing they do is to cut-down investments in new stuff when the state takes banks over.

[02:37:39] <e^ipi> for the next few years anyhow

[02:58:24] *** mroconno1 has joined #opensolaris
[02:58:29] <_Lewellyn> so probably not. since 110 should be finalized now
[02:58:34] *** mroconno1 is now known as mroconnor_
[02:58:45] <oninoshiko> i got someone else to independently conferm it (because I dont have alot a experence with comstar yet)

[03:00:23] <_Lewellyn> the longer you take to report it, the longer you have to wait for it to be fixed ;)
[03:00:30] <oninoshiko> (my last bug report was a wasted entry... ended up being a BIOS bug... intel fixed it after my report)
[03:01:24] <oninoshiko> _Lewellyn: but if i report somthing that isn't a bug, just an ID-10t error, i waste a developers time. time they could be using to work on something else

[03:03:52] <alvaro1> what kind of package manager does open solaris uses
[03:03:57] <alvaro1> ?
[03:03:58] *** vertigo has joined #opensolaris
[03:04:24] *** fraggeln has quit IRC
[03:04:46] <_Lewellyn> opensolaris or solaris express community edition?
[03:04:56] <alvaro1> opensolaris?
[03:05:08] <_Lewellyn> opensolaris uses pkg to manage IPS packages
[03:05:15] *** glance has quit IRC
[03:05:22] <oninoshiko> I've found that most of the bugs I end up reporting, tend to be obscure enough that most users dont encounter it (this one required useing a Qlogic iSCSI HBA against a COMSTAR target).
[03:05:22] <_Lewellyn> it also still has the SVR4 pkg* tools (which is what sxce uses)
[03:05:59] * oninoshiko grasps pkgadd "MINE! Grrr!"
[03:06:14] <_Lewellyn> oninoshiko: that's fine. reporting things that you feel are bugs at least keep "this could probably be documented better" on the radar ;)
[03:06:17] <alvaro1> does pkg support working with rpm packages ?
[03:06:25] * _Lewellyn does not advocate purposely reporting non-bugs
[03:06:41] <_Lewellyn> alvaro1: no. and there are no RPM packages for opensolaris that i know of
[03:06:42] *** barfoed has quit IRC
[03:07:02] <_Lewellyn> alvaro1: you can build IPS (and SVR4) packages with RPM-like spec files
[03:07:37] <oninoshiko> alvaro1: the spec format used by the SFE project to make SVR4 pakages is quite similer to the RH equivilent
[03:07:47] * oninoshiko is slow tonight
[03:07:59] <alvaro1> is open solaris linux or unix ?
[03:08:16] <_Lewellyn> oninoshiko: you can build IPS with pkgbuild (SFE), too.

[03:09:14] *** jub has quit IRC
[03:09:55] <alvaro1> which are the advantages of using open solaris?
[03:09:58] <oninoshiko> I still maintain you arn't suppose to hyphen the trademark.
[03:10:08] <nachox> opensolaris has a little bit of both, specially since the gnu tools are the default ones
[03:10:28] <_Lewellyn> nachox: gnu != linux
[03:10:51] <qiyong> can i show calling stack with dtrace?
[03:10:53] <nachox> alvaro1, RBAC, ZFS, zones, good resource management, network virtualization, you pick
[03:11:06] <oninoshiko> alvaro1: ZFS offers a higher degree of data reliability from storage. Dtrace offers some impressive monitoring cabilities
[03:11:14] <nachox> _Lewellyn, show me a linux that isnt using gnu tools
[03:11:30] <_Lewellyn> nachox: wait for the alpha release of the one sitting on my hard disk ;)
[03:11:56] <nachox> ...
[03:12:07] <oninoshiko> in that case all things containing words are books.
[03:12:29] <oninoshiko> "show me a book which does not contain words"
[03:12:44] <alvaro1> I suppose there are fewer packages for open solaris availaible as free software than for Unix like Systems, is that true?
[03:13:00] <nachox> oninoshiko, what other relevant os uses gnu tools alone? (hurd is not relevant)

[03:15:32] <_Lewellyn> oninoshiko: "most"
[03:15:58] <nachox> _Lewellyn, i'm a practical person, right now, if you use gnu tools you look more like linux than solaris

[03:16:42] <oninoshiko> _Lewellyn: I have not personally review the code for "most" OSS... so i cannot judge it... OTOH i can say "some" with out risking being wrong

[03:18:16] <oninoshiko> depends on what you need. alot of things have been added to IPS

[03:18:37] <oninoshiko> has most of SFE made it in there yet?

[03:18:43] <evocallaghan> Still got them zsh scripts
[03:18:59] <_Lewellyn> oninoshiko: no

[03:19:56] <oninoshiko> alvaro1: I dont understand the question.
[03:20:00] <_Lewellyn> alvaro1: it is based off the solaris (unix) kernel, not the linux kernel.
[03:20:12] <asyd> evocallaghan: hey, do you have some zsh scripts to share? we start to share some scripts with some peoples
[03:20:39] <eviljames> If you're sharing zsh scripts, I'd like to know where.

[03:23:30] <telexicon> huh
[03:23:31] <asyd> well, please choose zsh as main shell :)
[03:23:33] <_Lewellyn> you've been able to use solaris at home for many years...
[03:23:33] <oninoshiko> (the primary qualification for getting that permission is for your system to pass The Open Group's tests)
[03:23:50] <telexicon> theres still *bsd which is unixy
[03:23:55] <telexicon> and linux which is sorta unixy
[03:24:05] <_Lewellyn> telexicon: we're talking "UNIX(tm)" here
[03:24:06] *** syd` has joined #opensolaris
[03:24:14] <telexicon> UNIX(tm) is just a name
[03:24:27] <_Lewellyn> it's more than just a name
[03:24:28] <alvaro1> i thoght unix was only for powerfull not-home computers
[03:24:56] <_Lewellyn> your home computer is more powerful than the supercomputer of 15 years ago ;)
[03:25:08] <e^ipi_> alvaro1: OSX is UNIX(R) certifed
[03:25:09] <oninoshiko> alvaro1: Apple's OSX also qualifies to use the UNIX trademark
[03:25:13] <e^ipi_> so... not really
[03:25:16] <telexicon> yeah
[03:25:26] <telexicon> so you can tell right there, that UNIX is just a name
[03:25:36] <telexicon> if OS X gets to be called UNIX
[03:25:37] <_Lewellyn> it's only certified for 10.5 on Intel, though.
[03:25:48] <telexicon> with its case-insensitive filesystem
[03:25:52] <evocallaghan> Unix by modern day terms I would say 'means' it SUS3/POSIX compliant
[03:25:55] <_Lewellyn> telexicon: it can be traced hereditarily
[03:26:13] <telexicon> and non-X11 gui
[03:26:23] <telexicon> _Lewellyn, really? can it?
[03:26:25] <oninoshiko> telexicon: it meets the requirements. there is a list of them... i can link to them if you want to know
[03:26:32] <e^ipi_> telexicon: actually UNIX only says that it /can/ pass the tests, not that the default config does
[03:26:41] <e^ipi_> telexicon: hence /usr/xpg*
[03:26:41] <_Lewellyn> and there have been a few UNIXes over the years which have been case-honoring yet case-insensitive
[03:26:48] <_Lewellyn> telexicon: yes you can
[03:26:56] <e^ipi_> solaris /can/ pass the tests, but svid interferes with it
[03:27:01] <telexicon> oninoshiko, no i understand, but .. thats not very useful

[03:28:58] <nrubsig> can I get the temperature of the CPUs in a U45 somehow ?
[03:29:03] <telexicon> oninoshiko, windows NT is connected to bsd

[03:52:58] <evocallaghan> alanc:Hi Alan
[03:53:06] <_Lewellyn> i figure that since you work with X and most are X-related, you may have a magic bugzilla incantation that i could adapt :D
[03:53:25] <gnut> hi
[03:53:32] <sponix2ipfw> alanc: so I guess I'll just try it, and if it doesn't work roll back to my prior BE ;)

[03:53:44] <`Spike> Can anyone please provide input on my major zfs problems -> http://pastebin.com/m3d0466bf
[03:53:51] <alanc> _Lewellyn: the best I know of you can do is set a RSS feed for a bugzilla search for i915, but I've never tried - I just get all desktop bugs, not a subset
[03:53:51] <gnut> I get squares when I run some X apps
[03:53:54] <oninoshiko> wow spike, howd you do that?
[03:54:02] <alanc> evocallaghan: hello
[03:54:37] <_Lewellyn> alanc: mmk. fair enough. i'm hoping to see my i915 issues all resolved soon. hopefully i'll have time to lodge bugs against the ones i see that i can't find in bugzilla, on friday.
[03:54:41] <alanc> and there's no way for someone outside to subscribe to internal bugs without asking someone inside to add you to each and every one
[03:54:55] *** syd`_ has joined #opensolaris
[03:54:58] <`Spike> How'd i do which part?
[03:55:04] <`Spike> I replaced 2 working drives with 2 new drives
[03:55:09] <`Spike> and 1 non working drive with a new drive
[03:55:18] <_Lewellyn> all at once?
[03:55:20] <eviljames> did you tell the system you were doing so?
[03:55:32] <`Spike> but because i did it in safe mode, the replacing's didn't go away, they usually do when I reboot fully into opensolaris
[03:55:35] *** RavenSlay3r has quit IRC
[03:55:40] <`Spike> yeah the system replaced them all
[03:55:52] <`Spike> and I exported/imported/scrubbed/rebooted and scrubbed multiple times
[03:55:58] <`Spike> so i know that the data -is- there and -is- intact
[03:56:23] <`Spike> just for some reason it won't let me import -f it
[03:56:46] *** bizkut has left #opensolaris
[03:56:47] <`Spike> even though one vdev is missing, that shouldn't mean that i can't import the pool, if you look, both devices of every vdev except for one device of one vdev
[03:56:54] <eviljames> `Spike: did you do any/all of zpool attach/detach/replace
[03:57:04] <`Spike> i did zpool replace
[03:57:11] <`Spike> attach/detach don't work for raidz pool iirc....
[03:57:12] *** alain10 has joined #opensolaris
[03:57:17] <`Spike> maybe attach does, but that's not what i was doing
[03:57:31] *** piwi has quit IRC
[03:57:33] <`Spike> i was replacing 2 ide drives with 2 sata drives, and that went through, then after that i replaced one failing drive with a new one
[03:57:38] <`Spike> i was able to access the array
[03:57:44] <`Spike> scrub the array, export and import it, etc
[03:57:51] <eviljames> `Spike: it looks like there are 2 or more drives that are replaced simultaneously in a raidz1
[03:57:59] <`Spike> so then i installed os109 (i had 106) and now i get that error
[03:58:09] <eviljames> if you go to previous be, it works?
[03:58:14] <`Spike> i don't know
[03:58:18] <`Spike> i don't have the previous installed anymore
[03:58:21] <`Spike> and no its not doing all 3 at once
[03:58:24] <`Spike> all 3 replacements are done
[03:58:28] <`Spike> its just not showingit for some reason
[04:00:20] *** [JT] has joined #opensolaris
[04:01:00] <`Spike> But even with the one vdev not replacing and thus showing as unaccessable, since it's raidz, and every other vdev is fully online, it should be able to import
[04:01:16] <nachox> damn. where are arc cases now in src.opensolaris.org? i wanted to read gnureadline's case
[04:01:51] <`Spike> anybody got any ideas?
[04:01:55] <nachox> i'm wondering whether it was integrated or not because python should have been compiled with readline support
[04:02:05] <`Spike> Like I said, previously all vdevs were online and the data was accessible and scrubbed 100%
[04:03:29] <evocallaghan> alanc: Prob not your area however has anyone done some work on solaris getting KMS ?
[04:03:44] <eviljames> `Spike: Do you still have the drive specified on line 21?
[04:03:53] <eviljames> `Spike: and can you put it back into the machine temporarily?
[04:04:00] <alanc> Kernel Modesetting? I think the Intel/DRI guys were looking at it
[04:04:06] <gnut> X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist)
[04:04:06] <gnut> Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont)
[04:04:10] <gnut> what does that mean?
[04:04:13] <`Spike> well
[04:04:16] <alanc> but yes, kernel/driver stuff is not my area
[04:04:20] <`Spike> yes i have it, but it's been reformatted
[04:04:21] <evocallaghan> alanc: Oh really? Any public code yet ?
[04:04:33] <`Spike> nothing's been written to it, so that data is probably technically there, but not readily avail
[04:04:39] <alanc> evocallaghan: I haven't the vaguest inkling of the slightest clue
[04:04:41] <evocallaghan> Any names I can contact would be helpful
[04:04:41] <`Spike> isn't there a way to tell zfs that the replace drive is fine
[04:04:52] <evocallaghan> I see, ok
[04:04:58] <`Spike> like its telling me that the one drive isn't finished replacing or whatever and is thus unaccessable
[04:05:00] <`Spike> it is accessable
[04:05:06] <eviljames> `Spike: try zpool replace -f
[04:05:07] <`Spike> the drive that is in there contains a 100% resilvereed
[04:05:14] <eviljames> `Spike: but can't guarantee that will work :/
[04:05:19] <`Spike> replace -f?
[04:05:24] <alanc> evocallaghan: try asking the people listed on http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/intelgraphics/leaders/
[04:05:27] <`Spike> that command won't work on a non-mounted array
[04:05:45] <alanc> gnut: it means your program asked for a font the Xserver doesn't have
[04:05:51] <evocallaghan> alanc: Will do, thanks for your wisdom once again :)

[04:06:05] <eviljames> `Spike: oh, duh. been a long day so far.. :D
[04:06:22] <`Spike> that's alright at least you're trying to help

[04:06:51] <evocallaghan> I know Niveditha so I will talk to her

[04:07:13] <eviljames> `Spike: (j/k of course)
[04:07:24] <`Spike> lol
[04:07:31] <gnut> alanc: but this same program worked before in build 105... so maybe the font disappeared. hmm... thanks for the decoding.
[04:07:42] <`Spike> at this point i'm really upset (again) that i even played with zfs
[04:07:52] <`Spike> this stuff always seems to happen
[04:08:03] <`Spike> i upgrade and for some reason a pool that i could export/import/scrub is no longer importable
[04:08:09] <`Spike> and it wasn't a major upgrade, only 3 versions.
[04:08:28] <alanc> gnut: SXCE build 109 lost a bunch of fonts (well, old programs think they're lost because they're now -iso10646-1 (unicode) instead of -iso8859-1)
[04:09:26] <_Lewellyn> alanc: will those be getting remapped? i haven't filed a bug on it, since i figure you plan on dealing with it :)
[04:09:34] <eviljames> `Spike: Overall, I think your troubles are largely atypical. I've found that zfs is light years ahead of the competition.
[04:09:37] <gnut> alanc: ahhh... okay
[04:09:56] <_Lewellyn> and asking on irc is faster than filing a bug, anyhow ;)
[04:09:57] <eviljames> `Spike: did you, by change, upgrade while changing disks around? Is it possible that one or more of these disks are running an older/newer version than the rest?
[04:10:01] <`Spike> hmmmm well i seem to have alot of them :(
[04:10:18] <`Spike> naw all the disks should be running the same zfs version
[04:10:32] <`Spike> i can't seem to figure out if the zfs version changed between 106 and 109
[04:10:39] <`Spike> its at version 14 now, when did 14 come out?
[04:10:53] <gnut> do we have to make a font alias to fix this issue then?

[04:13:51] <evocallaghan> _Lewellyn:The DRI stuff is missing in snv_109 afaik
[04:13:52] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: um. 107 and newer have no acceleration, and S3 suspend breaks. and 109 introduces flicker when doing GL operations (which are still unaccelerated)
[04:14:06] <evocallaghan> yep
[04:14:06] <_Lewellyn> it's fallout from the xorg change, i think
[04:14:13] <alanc> really, I thought they fixed i915 DRI in 109?
[04:14:15] <evocallaghan> I am willing to bet its too do with this
[04:14:20] <_Lewellyn> alanc: it's worse in 109. far worse.
[04:14:20] <eviljames> `Spike: i'd be interested to know if/how you get this solved.

[04:19:42] <alanc> no, I meant the bug id for the bug I was thinking of - I found it

[04:21:55] <`Spike> Can anyone please provide input on my major zfs problems -> http://pastebin.com/m3d0466bf
[04:22:01] <_Lewellyn> the only download i know is from the BrandZ page, which is a CentOS 3.7 image
[04:22:01] <alanc> heh, I filed a RFE a few weeks ago about ENOSPC testing... http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6807906
[04:22:27] <evocallaghan> _Lewellyn:Well, if you can provide all them back traces for your two issues and such in bugs on friday I will be sure too look over them ok.
[04:22:36] <_Lewellyn> alanc: this was a full zfs filesystem. :)
[04:22:41] <abisen> evocallaghan: i have downloaded many different distro's from that site. it's not for brandz it's for brandZ kind of virtualization... do you know the technical acronym for what's brandZ kind of virtulization is known as
[04:22:44] <_Lewellyn> turns out that deleting files takes more disk space :)
[04:23:09] <evocallaghan> I don't use BrandZ sorry
[04:23:10]
[04:23:16] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: i have far more than 2 issues. and no backtraces for things that don't crash ;)
[04:23:20] <alanc> there's a site for virtualbox image downloads, but that's very very different than brandz
[04:23:28] <evocallaghan> :(
[04:23:39] <evocallaghan> I have two main problems at the moment
[04:23:52] <_Lewellyn> only centos 3 is officially supported as an lx brand right now, i think
[04:24:06] <evocallaghan> e1000g bug I *think* and a big IOMMU bug in Intels code although this is a known problem
[04:24:10] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: of course, if you file bugs, ping me.
[04:24:42] * _Lewellyn can't wait for 111 so he can have opera look less like ass again :)
[04:25:17] <nachox> 111? what integrates then?
[04:25:37] <_Lewellyn> <@alanc> 6812503 Missing fonts after update to 109.
[04:25:37] <_Lewellyn> <@alanc> fixed in nv_111
[04:25:39] *** Cass has quit IRC
[04:25:39] <evocallaghan> http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do?bug_id=6811593 Intel IOMMU bug
[04:25:59] * alanc can't wait for 111 so his Ultra 40 will boot again
[04:26:06] <nachox> hehe
[04:26:29] <gnut> is 111 coming out in three weeks?
[04:26:33] <nachox> i have to learn how to debug suspend and resume bugs...
[04:26:36] <_Lewellyn> something like that
[04:26:55] <palowoda> That means alanc gets a three week vacation.
[04:27:02] <evocallaghan> haha
[04:27:04] <alanc> should be 4 weeks from last Friday for SXCE, since last Friday was 109 release
[04:27:16] <evocallaghan> palowoda:Hey buddy
[04:27:27] <gnut> okay... three weeks from this friday
[04:27:31] <alanc> palowoda: I wish - now we start the 111 respins for the 2009.06 RC's
[04:27:44] <gnut> now gotta somehow convince the boss I don't need to use that application that has font issues.
[04:28:05] <evocallaghan> hot java gone cold
[04:28:17] <alanc> you may be able to use the SUNWxwfnt from 105 until then to get the old fonts back
[04:28:20] <_Lewellyn> mmm. i liked the hotjava browser
[04:28:27] <nachox> 2009/164 CIFS guest access - approved :)
[04:28:42] <gnut> alanc: hmmm... that's a thought.
[04:29:12] <abisen> _Lewellyn: i found the site :) http://download.openvz.org/template/precreated/
[04:29:28] <_Lewellyn> alanc: where can we pull that package without downloading the full iso? ;)
[04:29:38] <_Lewellyn> abisen: openvz != solaris
[04:29:50] <_Lewellyn> openvz == linux
[04:30:08] <abisen> _Lewellyn: I understand and that's what i asked... these precreated tar ball's works perfectly fine with lx Zones
[04:30:20] <_Lewellyn> really. i didn't know that.
[04:30:38] <abisen> _Lewellyn: these are just tarball's (created just the way brandZ) asks for
[04:30:39] *** Disorganized_ has joined #OpenSolaris
[04:30:42] <_Lewellyn> i thought the openvz tarballs had things "removed" to work in openvz
[04:30:48] <abisen> _Lewellyn: yup ;) saves a lot of time
[04:30:52] <alanc> _Lewellyn: from the ISO's you saved from when you ran those builds
[04:31:10] *** e1mer has joined #opensolaris
[04:31:19] <abisen> _Lewellyn: you might wanna check them out i have tried many centos and fedora tarball's
[04:31:21] <_Lewellyn> i haven't touched openvz in quite a while. but i remember the fun of trying to get non-"approved" distros running
[04:31:41] <abisen> _Lewellyn: nothing other than fedora and centos
[04:31:52] <_Lewellyn> i'm more interested in getting a distro supported by lx that no one yet has :)
[04:31:58] *** e-jat has quit IRC
[04:32:04] <_Lewellyn> alanc: i started at 106 :P
[04:32:20] <alanc> _Lewellyn: 106 should work fine too
[04:32:27] * jmcp starts the LU to 1109
[04:32:27] <_Lewellyn> that's when lack of wifi on s10 annoyed me
[04:32:29] * jmcp starts the LU to 110
[04:32:30] <abisen> _Lewellyn: have you tried COMSTAR yet ?
[04:32:36] <alanc> I just said 105 since that's what gnut said worked previously for him
[04:32:42] <_Lewellyn> abisen: no. i don't think it's viable on a laptop anyhow
[04:32:42] <alanc> anything older than 109 should work
[04:32:56] <abisen> _Lewellyn: oh i did'nt knew you are on a laptop
[04:33:09] <_Lewellyn> yes. that's why things like S3 being broken suck so muchn
[04:33:17] <Chipdancer> jmcp: 1109! awesome.. do you give free rides in your TARDIS?
[04:33:35] <jmcp> no, they cost moola :-)
[04:33:44] * jmcp wonders where that damned wormhole went to....
[04:33:58] <Chipdancer> that's ok, I only need 1 trip and I can pay you when I return ;)
[04:34:06] <alanc> if LU still works when we get to build 1109, the IPS & Caiman teams will have a lot to answer for...
[04:34:29] <evocallaghan> haha
[04:34:31] <Chipdancer> alanc: does it work today?
[04:34:46] <alanc> mostly
[04:35:02] *** DerSaidi1 is now known as DerSaidin
[04:35:20] <Chipdancer> my box seems to require I zfs export my large array before I LU :(
[04:35:22] * evocallaghan has had no problems with LU however lots with IPS
[04:35:37] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju
[04:36:00] <jmcp> alanc: *that* is for sure. And they'll owe some beer
[04:37:00] <nrubsig> mhhh... build 1109
[04:37:13] <nrubsig> welcome to year 2026
[04:37:56] <evocallaghan> :O
[04:38:05] <alanc> build 1109 will contain the EOL notice for 32-bit time_t, since otherwise people will still expect support 12 years later when it runs out of bits
[04:38:23] *** Disorganized has quit IRC
[04:38:32] <_Lewellyn> alanc: i would hope that'd happen in 500 or so :P
[04:38:44] <palowoda> IPS == In Progress Sorta
[04:38:56] <nrubsig> alanc: I think the EOL notice will arrive at 2012 when the EU creates an own set of reliabilty criteria all OSes must pass.
[04:39:18] <Chipdancer> so how is IPS coming?
[04:39:25] <nrubsig> alanc: this is the work my father is currently doing, as part of a joint DIN/ISO/EU effort.
[04:39:46] <alanc> which they'll overturn when they find they can't buy a single OS anymore, and end up destroying the EU computer business
[04:40:40] <nrubsig> alanc: actually the evaluation showed that it's possible to implement this easily. And I doubt they'll back-off.
[04:41:26] <evocallaghan> awesome
[04:41:26] <alanc> if it requires dropping support for the vast majority of running applications? possible does not equal commercially viable
[04:41:56] <nrubsig> erm
[04:42:30] <_Lewellyn> nrubsig: dropping support at the OS level will break lots of apps
[04:42:32] <nrubsig> alanc: the point is that the OS is expected to work beyond 2050 without modifications. Support for "legacy applications" is likely allowed.
[04:42:53] <alanc> then it's not EOL'ing 32-bit time_t
[04:43:32] <alanc> maybe adding more bags on the side like the large file 64-bit-in-32-bit app junk
[04:43:34] <`Spike> okay
[04:43:36] <`Spike> so fingers crossed
[04:43:37] <`Spike> its importing now
[04:43:37] *** gnut has quit IRC
[04:43:51] <`Spike> but i booted to milax live cd os distro and it shows degraded instead of unavail
[04:43:54] <`Spike> and i'm importing...
[04:44:02] <`Spike> its imported!
[04:44:08] <Teltariat> So I've got OpenSolaris
[04:44:09] <eviljames> `Spike: Sweet!
[04:44:09] <`Spike> so something's up with b109
[04:44:17] <`Spike> with 106 and milax i'm able to import this array
[04:44:18] <Teltariat> How do I got about setting up a plain Solaris 10 zone inside of OpenSolaris?
[04:44:20] <eviljames> `Spike: Can you now scrub and export?
[04:44:22] <`Spike> with 109 it shows as unavail
[04:44:25] <`Spike> i'm scrubbing now.
[04:44:28] <`Spike> but its imported
[04:44:33] <`Spike> thats better than nothing :)
[04:44:35] <_Lewellyn> Teltariat: i don't think you can yet
[04:44:52] <`Spike> scrubbing
[04:45:01] <Teltariat> _Lewellyn: say it ain't so
[04:45:09] <Teltariat> please say it ain't so
[04:45:11] * `Spike hugs the ~8TB of data :)
[04:45:11] <Teltariat> :(
[04:45:13] <_Lewellyn> that's what i've been told when i've asked
[04:45:21] <Teltariat> That really sucks
[04:45:35] <`Spike> okay so first a scrub
[04:45:48] <`Spike> then a replace -f to try and get rid of these drives that are stuck in the replacing state
[04:46:04] <_Lewellyn> Teltariat: if you find out otherwise, please ping me.
[04:46:05] <evocallaghan> Try a fmadm faulty while your at it
[04:46:19] <_Lewellyn> Teltariat: you can still make an S8 or S9 zone on sparc tho
[04:46:46] <`Spike> all drives are fine, that was part of my prior diagnosis
[04:47:16] <Teltariat> _Lewellyn: I only have x86, and I'm only interested in 10 and up

[05:06:22] <evocallaghan> I just need to find out which packages are safe to remove in regards to RPC/NIS/NFS but keep the in kernel ZFS/NFS function working and any userland stuff needed to mount at the other end
[05:06:33] <evocallaghan> Don't really need all the old crud
[05:06:54] <e^ipi> umm...
[05:06:57] <evocallaghan> Anyone could give me a idea which if at all are the packages to remove for the old crud ?
[05:06:58] <e^ipi> do you know how NFS works?
[05:07:12] <e^ipi> RPC is kinna part of the package
[05:07:12] <Plazma> why are you even messing with stuff you dont understand
[05:07:14] <evocallaghan> Only the basics of it
[05:07:20] <evocallaghan> I used it
[05:07:26] <evocallaghan> If that is what your asking
[05:07:32] <Plazma> are you short on space or something?
[05:07:34] <evocallaghan> on a debian box mainly
[05:07:39] <Plazma> or are you trying to turn it into gentoo

[05:17:05] <evocallaghan> CIFS was one of them good things that came from M$haft however I don't believe they came up with it maybe wrong

[05:57:32] <SeanieB> how I set this up is like this
[05:57:41] <SeanieB> someone let me know if this shouldnt work or something
[05:57:50] <SeanieB> I used gparted
[05:58:09] <SeanieB> Windows XP is on a 345 GB partition, windows 7 on a 120 GB one
[05:58:23] <SeanieB> I resize the XP one down another 120 GB
[05:58:27] <SeanieB> split that in half
[05:58:33] <SeanieB> one 60 GB partition
[05:58:43] <SeanieB> I want to use for opensolaris
[05:58:52] <SeanieB> it's formatted as ext2
[05:58:59] <SeanieB> I picked it in the installer
[05:59:02] <SeanieB> and here we are
[05:59:03] <_Lewellyn> um. all i'd use gparted for is changing the partition type to solaris
[05:59:26] <SeanieB> ...
[05:59:33] <SeanieB> I used it to split another partition
[05:59:42] <SeanieB> to free up another partition for solaris
[05:59:51] <_Lewellyn> the windows 7 disk management snap-in is quite capable at all the other tasks
[05:59:58] <_Lewellyn> and it's more likely to do "the right thing"
[06:00:13] <SeanieB> but win7 cant resize disks nondestructively
[06:00:23] <_Lewellyn> it can't? vista can.
[06:00:35] <SeanieB> I know the partition is fine - my problem is opensolaris wont install to it
[06:00:44] <_Lewellyn> it will only install onto a primary partition
[06:00:46] <SeanieB> I said an error code a few lines back
[06:01:46] <SeanieB> it's set as a primary partition
[06:01:47] <_Lewellyn> i don't know about the osol installer, but the partitioning screen in sxce sucks. the same suck it's been for years, so i can deal with it, but still it's easier to do outside the installer
[06:01:57] <_Lewellyn> and has a type... *thinks* BF?
[06:02:08] <SeanieB> but iirc there can only br one primary partition
[06:02:09] <_Lewellyn> yeah. bf is solaris
[06:02:10] <SeanieB> isnt that right?
[06:02:12] <_Lewellyn> no
[06:02:16] <_Lewellyn> 4 primary partitions

[06:02:53] <SeanieB> the other two are ext
[06:02:56] <_Lewellyn> you're 110% positive that gparted didn't try to be "smart" and make an extended partition?
[06:03:06] <evocallaghan> doesn't solaris have extended partition support now since 106 or something. maybe you can't install to it?
[06:03:13] <SeanieB> anyway to check?
[06:03:15] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: i dunno.
[06:03:27] <_Lewellyn> SeanieB: you could use the solaris fdisk
[06:03:28] <oninoshiko> its just fine as long as you only want one OS... and really why would you want more then one?
[06:03:30] <_Lewellyn> see what it sees
[06:03:42] <evocallaghan> Make sure the solaris partition is at the start of the disk
[06:03:49] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: unnecessary
[06:03:57] <evocallaghan> I was aware of a bug that this stops the installer
[06:03:59] <SeanieB> what?
[06:04:11] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: oh. is that an osol bug? wouldn't bite me
[06:04:34] <evocallaghan> I believe it hits everyone using ON builds

[06:04:46] <SeanieB> I'mma make it easier

[06:05:11] <SeanieB> yeah
[06:05:12] <SeanieB> sorry
[06:05:21] <_Lewellyn> and has a partition type of 0xbf
[06:05:27] <evocallaghan> Can you see if its a the start of the disk
[06:05:36] <SeanieB> ...I know it's not at the start of the disk
[06:05:40] <_Lewellyn> evocallaghan: i installed 106 just fine onto partition 4 at the end of my disk
[06:05:42] <SeanieB> XP is in the 1st partition
[06:05:44] <evocallaghan> I am pretty sure this is what your hitting
[06:06:04] <evocallaghan> _Lewellyn: Not everyone hits it
[06:06:18] <evocallaghan> Can a partition be shifted ?
[06:06:24] <_Lewellyn> http://nopaste.info/f3b9c9887d.html
[06:06:34] <_Lewellyn> that's about what you should see from solaris fdisk

[06:07:06] <SeanieB> I resetted the machien
[06:07:12] <SeanieB> popping in gpared again
[06:07:15] <_Lewellyn> if it's sxce, you can abort the installer early on and use fdisk

[06:13:49] <SeanieB> and I deleted teh partiton

[06:20:59] <_Lewellyn> um i don't know. it's different on sxce and osol. :P
[06:21:06] <SeanieB> i915?

[06:21:31] <_Lewellyn> dunno what a p45 is...

[06:22:03] <SeanieB> so I used the installer
[06:22:05] <SeanieB> if this doesnt work
[06:22:10] <SeanieB> ten I'll go do it manually
[06:22:11] <_Lewellyn> hm. seems p45 may be i915-based
[06:22:20] <SeanieB> but I set "unused" to 60 GB
[06:22:41] <SeanieB> oh no
[06:22:43] <SeanieB> it's broken
[06:22:51] <SeanieB> it's trying to use the entire drive
[06:22:53] <SeanieB> lol
[06:23:30] <SeanieB> dude
[06:23:33] <SeanieB> what the hell?
[06:23:37] <SeanieB> Iset it to 60
[06:23:44] <SeanieB> and it magically goes up to 465
[06:23:48] <SeanieB> which is the entire drive
[06:23:52] <SeanieB> (500 GB HDD)
[06:24:24] <_Lewellyn> manually set a partition as type 0xbf

[06:59:18] <jmcp> "r" in this context means the "raw" device, and it's a character device rather than a block device
[06:59:23] <jmcp> you create filesystems on block devices
[06:59:57] <SeanieB> fdisk: cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c4d0po
[07:00:00] *** niq has joined #opensolaris
[07:00:03] <SeanieB> **p0
[07:00:05] <SeanieB> sorry
[07:00:13] <SeanieB> I'm relaying this manually over here
[07:00:16] <SeanieB> not pasting it
[07:00:43] <SeanieB> remember: the first partiton is NTFS
[07:00:48] <SeanieB> dunno if that is important
[07:01:03] <SeanieB> solaris will not be the first partition.
[07:01:07] <jmcp> that shouldn't be a problem
[07:01:21] *** oxygen-addict has joined #opensolaris
[07:01:24] <SeanieB> so I typed
[07:01:37] <SeanieB> fdisk /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0
[07:02:26] <SeanieB> should I restart after the installer deciding to fail on me or what?
[07:02:56] <jmcp> what did fdisk give you?
[07:03:17] <SeanieB> I already said it - look up
[07:03:21] <SeanieB> fdisk: cannot open device /dev/rdsk/c4d0p0
[07:04:06] <SeanieB> This would be so much easier if I had a whole HDD to use for it but alas I just have one big one
[07:04:09] <SeanieB> :P
[07:04:18] <jmcp> ok, so just run "format" instead
[07:04:44] <jmcp> btw, do you have the option of forcing SATA or AHCI in the bios?
[07:04:44] *** oxygen-a1dict has quit IRC
[07:05:04] <SeanieB> no permission or no disks found
[07:05:05] <SeanieB> from format
[07:05:09] <SeanieB> does this need sudo?
[07:05:25] <SeanieB> how am I supposed to know the password on the livecd's root account
[07:05:33] *** Jiraia has quit IRC
[07:05:46] <jmcp> SeanieB: the livecd's password is documented - "root" account has "opensolaris" as the password
[07:05:47] *** syd`_ has joined #opensolaris
[07:05:50] *** Jiraia has joined #opensolaris
[07:05:54] <SeanieB> oh okay
[07:05:58] <jmcp> the livecd's default login is "jack" with password "jack"
[07:06:01] <jmcp> pfexec format
[07:06:04] <jmcp> that's what you want
[07:06:25] <SeanieB> "jack is not in the sudoers file:
[07:06:44] <SeanieB> snd opensolaris doesnt work
[07:06:45] <jmcp> I told you, pfexec
[07:07:13] <SeanieB> c4d0 drive twpe unknown
[07:07:17] <SeanieB> and some long string below it
[07:07:22] <SeanieB> okay
[07:07:33] <SeanieB> availible drive types: other
[07:07:34] <jmcp> the string will be the physical path to the device
[07:07:43] <jmcp> what sort of disk is it?
[07:07:50] <SeanieB> uhh
[07:08:04] <SeanieB> just a normal Segate Barracuda 500 GB hard drive
[07:08:09] <SeanieB> connected with SATA
[07:08:34] <jmcp> auto-discovery should be successful
[07:08:34] <SeanieB> 7200 RPM
[07:08:47] <SeanieB> apparently not
[07:08:58] <SeanieB> every question has basically been :other
[07:09:11] <jmcp> connected to your motherboard?
[07:09:11] <SeanieB> now it wants cylinder size
[07:09:15] <SeanieB> yeah
[07:09:19] <SeanieB> sata port 0
[07:09:26] <SeanieB> I have 6 sata ports
[07:09:29] <SeanieB> and one ide port
[07:09:38] <jmcp> what is the motherboard? can you enable AHCI mode on it?
[07:09:49] <SeanieB> ..should be on
[07:09:56] <SeanieB> it's a brand new gigabyte
[07:09:57] <SeanieB> uh
[07:10:01] <SeanieB> hold on
[07:10:12] <jmcp> if you can enable AHCI that would be a very good idea
[07:10:33] <SeanieB> I'mma reset and go look in the BIOS
[07:10:38] <SeanieB> just a sec
[07:11:03] <SeanieB> EP45-DS3A
[07:11:07] <SeanieB> gigabyte
[07:11:10] *** lewellyn_ has joined #opensolaris
[07:11:38] <SeanieB> SATA AHCI mode is disabled
[07:11:42] <jmcp> enable it
[07:11:43] <SeanieB> enable it?
[07:11:45] <jmcp> yeah
[07:11:46] <SeanieB> What's it do?
[07:11:51] <SeanieB> outof curiosity
[07:12:01] <jmcp> in this case, it'll make your SATA disk show up as SATA
[07:12:04] <jmcp> rather than PATA
[07:12:07] <SeanieB> ...oh
[07:12:08] <jmcp> (for OpenSolaris)
[07:12:17] <jmcp> so ... benefits start with speed
[07:12:17] <SeanieB> That won't mess with Windows, will it?
[07:12:23] <jmcp> I don't know
[07:12:27] <SeanieB> Well
[07:12:32] <SeanieB> if it does I can alwyas turn it off
[07:12:33] <jmcp> I only run Windows inside VirtualBox
[07:12:35] <jmcp> yeah
[07:12:46] <SeanieB> ..what the hell
[07:12:48] <SeanieB> wow
[07:12:55] <SeanieB> that really increases my post time
[07:13:00] <SeanieB> it brings up a whole new BIOS
[07:13:04] <SeanieB> screen
[07:13:12] <SeanieB> okay
[07:13:19] <SeanieB> booting solaris back up from CD
[07:13:52] <SeanieB> would this possibly be what was screwing the installer up by any chance?
[07:14:06] *** nachox has quit IRC
[07:14:30] <jmcp> it's possible, but I don't work in that area so can't really comment
[07:14:42] <SeanieB> okay
[07:14:53] <SeanieB> I'll give the installer one more shot before giving up on it

[10:08:04] <timsf> yeah, there's a blacklist, which the power.conf setting overrides
[10:08:19] <lewellyn> and yes, my power.conf is identical to how it was in 106
[10:08:30] <lewellyn> including said override
[10:08:43] <lewellyn> nothing gets logged
[10:08:54] <palowoda> What blacklist?
[10:09:00] <timsf> there you go - useful information for the bug report
[10:09:13] *** jteo has joined #opensolaris
[10:09:29] <timsf> can't remember the specifics - checks for supported drivers iirc.
[10:09:37] <lewellyn> sys-suspend gives the aforementioned message, clicking suspend on the power icon in the panel gives me a blank screen, locked
[10:09:52] <lewellyn> so, all i can really say is "it doesn't work", too :(
[10:09:57] <lewellyn> part of why i've not made a bug for it
[10:10:14] <timsf> http://blogs.sun.com/randyf/entry/testing_suspend_and_resume_for may help if you're interested?

[10:11:16] <lewellyn> timsf: playing with uadmin is on my todo for friday, already ;)
[10:11:17] <palowoda> Shouldn't blacklist actually print the name model etc that it's not supported realtime?
[10:12:31] <timsf> As I say, I can't remember the specifics - just digging for them now
[10:13:15] <palowoda> If your digging for them how is that going to work in the future with all the newbie's?
[10:13:32] <timsf> Feel free to log a bug.
[10:13:37] <lewellyn> the suspend stuff is experimental still, iirc :P
[10:14:05] <lewellyn> hopefully S3 will start "just working" for everyone soon enough and manpower can go into S4 support :D
[10:14:13] * lewellyn is craving S4 support
[10:14:16] <palowoda> Right and some suspend stuff will always be blacklisted. Like some amd dual cores.
[10:16:10] <oenone> what exactly is this ON (OS/Net)?
[10:17:25] *** KermitTheFragger has joined #opensolaris
[10:17:34] <palowoda> It's a group of secret interal Sun developers. It's documented on the opensolaris.org website. Don't tell anyone.
[10:18:20] *** Tobbe has left #opensolaris
[10:18:36] <timsf> ON is the kernel and core userland of OpenSolaris - the basic operating system
[10:18:54] <timsf> minus a few bits to make it work (so just ON on it's own isn't enough to give you a functioning system)
[10:18:56] <trochej> timsf: You seem a little bit irritated and tired. :)
[10:19:30] <timsf> Need to pack for a 2 week trip to NZ today, and get work done (which is obviously why I'm here on irc, hrm)

[10:30:18] <legolasw> Hi
[10:30:19] <legolasw> "zfs create aPool/aName/Another" is like creating normal directories or it is something different?
[10:32:13] *** hsp has joined #opensolaris
[10:32:14] <monsted> by default, it'll more or less look like a directory structure
[10:32:24] <monsted> you can override the mountpoints on each zfs, though
[10:32:42] <lewellyn> gah. will 110 come with the new pidgin? :(
[10:33:37] <palowoda> Easy to check find a psarc or lsarc fast track case for the update.
[10:33:55] *** VenerZen has joined #opensolaris
[10:34:57] *** Alasdairrr has joined #opensolaris
[10:35:16] <lewellyn> i thought the arc stuff was offline, so i didn't look.
[10:35:45] <palowoda> No all the arc cases are online. Also check http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/arc-process/PTLtestbed/PTL/
[10:35:57] <timsf> Hah. Found it
[10:36:00] <timsf> http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/i86pc/io/ppm.conf
[10:36:07] <timsf> Now, I'm going to do actual work.
[10:36:52] <lewellyn> timsf: do you know the proper way to get machines added to that file? filing a bug seems like a lot of overhead :)
[10:37:26] <palowoda> A whitelist?
[10:37:28] <saohh> Hi all ;) How can i find out, if my zfs is using the compression?
[10:37:55] <seanmcg> zfs get compression $dataset
[10:37:58] <trochej> saohh: zfs get compression pool/filesystem
[10:38:48] *** mikefut_ has joined #opensolaris
[10:38:55] *** tfb has joined #opensolaris
[10:39:00] <trochej> Coffee
[10:39:03] <trochej> Anyway
[10:40:39] <saohh> last two things i need to go with this! How do i activate compression (in case it is deactivated) and how do i change compression level?
[10:41:08] <trochej> saohh: zfs set compression and it will give nice help
[10:41:38] *** joanie has quit IRC
[10:42:00] <trochej> saohh: basically zfs set compression=[true|gzip0-9|somethingelse]
[10:42:05] <saohh> ok thanks ;)
[10:42:08] <trochej> and pool/filesystem
[10:42:32] <saohh> where 9 is strongest compression and 0 is none?
[10:42:34] <timsf> lewellyn filing a bug would be a good start: I suspect it's a function of what Sun's willing to test/support as well. The S3-support enable flag should override that.
[10:42:46] *** arcame has joined #opensolaris
[10:42:56] <trochej> saohh: I believe so
[10:43:49] <seanmcg> saohh, the man page also has more info.. man zfs
[10:44:33] <lewellyn> timsf: yeah, i realize it's a "support" issue, to some degree. but, at least osol should have the option of "community-tested" machines. otherwise, the list will remain short.
[10:44:36] <trochej> saohh: And http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461
[10:44:41] <trochej> ZFS Administrator Guide
[10:44:45] <trochej> Even more comprehensive
[10:44:49] <lewellyn> even if sxce/solaris don't use the "community" entries
[10:44:54] <timsf> lewellyn yep, I agree.
[10:45:31] *** mikefut has quit IRC
[10:45:34] <lewellyn> and, personally, i don't want to be the one filing that bug as it may open a fun can of worms
[10:46:11] <timsf> Drop a mail to one of the community aliases perhaps? Less formal than a bug report
[10:46:32] *** jteo has quit IRC
[10:46:45] <lewellyn> perhaps. let one of them deal with it
[10:46:58] <lewellyn> i still need to get my email working properly on opensolaris :P
[10:47:19] <lewellyn> right now, i'm limited to the one account that i have on my phone :(
[10:47:28] <codestr0m> is there a zfs development list where the developers actually post ideas?
[10:47:35] <timsf> pm-discuss at opensolaris dot org looks like the best bet.
[10:47:37] <codestr0m> I mean the whole thing can't be watercooler talk can it?
[10:47:47] <timsf> http://opensolaris.org/os/community/pm/
[10:48:02] <timsf> codestr0m: there's zfs-code at opensolaris dot org
[10:48:07] <timsf> but it's pretty quiet
[10:48:22] <codestr0m> timsf: ok. so there, but not used primarily

[11:20:35] *** linma has quit IRC
[11:21:07] <palowoda> Hmm didn't know domains where involved with ppm.
[11:21:20] <glance_> im just guessing.
[11:21:27] *** dunc has quit IRC
[11:21:46] <timsf> don't think so
[11:22:10] <timsf> I see references like ppm-domains="domain_cpu", "domain_diskfet", "domain_led", "domain_pciegfx";
[11:22:38] <timsf> so I'm guessing it's grouping different sets of power-manageable entities.
[11:22:45] <timsf> (but I've no idea really)
[11:22:56] <lewellyn> "domain" is always an overloaded term
[11:23:02] <trochej> Yup
[11:25:00] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju

[11:31:52] <palowoda> The only reason I asked is further down for ppm_top_speed their was comments related to x86 ACPI, lines 237+
[11:35:50] *** noyb has joined #opensolaris
[11:40:56] <seanmcg> CosmicDJ, E6500, E10K, E15K has them too. The MX000's have it too. a more physical partitioning of a machine through software, more so than ldoms
[11:41:17] <palowoda> Ah I see logical domains has nothing to do with ppm.
[11:41:20] <legolasw> I have problem with creating snapshot, the command "zfs snapshot secpool/mstr@today" create nothing
[11:41:37] <legolasw> is there any reason that the command does not create the snapshot?
[11:41:42] <tsoome> how do you know it does create nothing?;)
[11:41:50] <trochej> legolasw: zfs list -t all
[11:42:01] <trochej> legolasw: See if it did
[11:42:37] <CosmicDJ> tsoome: no error message and a return code of 0 (checked with $?) usually indicates that nothing happend ;)
[11:42:53] <CosmicDJ> nothing... bad
[11:42:56] <legolasw> oops, I was using a wrong command. I was trying to see the snapshots using "zfs list -r secpool"
[11:43:16] <legolasw> "zfs list -t all" shows the snapshots
[11:43:17] <legolasw> thank
[11:43:22] <legolasw> *thanks
[11:43:55] <tsoome> ofc, if something does create nothing, then what is that nothing and how to verify it was indeed created...
[11:44:05] <tsoome> :P
[11:44:36] <tsoome> ok, this question is actually a sign i need more coffee...

[12:33:05] <oenone> Keso: shouldn't it do that already?
[12:34:19] <trochej> Keso: IIRC OSOL ought to take as much RAM as you put in and your hardware supports
[12:35:56] <Keso> well, I have 4GB in bios but prtconf shows only 3328 Megabytes, isainfo output is amd64 i386
[12:36:46] <trochej> Keso: The same with my Laptop. It is hardware issue with mine, maybe with yours too
[12:37:06] <lewellyn> some chipsets don't remap devices to above the "4gb barrier"
[12:37:12] <trochej> Keso: As a note: model is supposed to support 4 GB, but vendor issued a note stating that first models can do less
[12:37:20] <oenone> prtconf tells me: Memory size: 3761 Megabytes
[12:37:31] <oenone> and that is about 4GB

[12:39:01] <timsf> Not an agp aperture or anything?
[12:39:30] <tsoome> i can insert 4GB in my laptop, but since chipset will map pcie devices between 3GB and 4GB, the machine can actually use only 3GB
[12:40:36] <trochej> The same
[12:40:38] <lewellyn> timsf: in my case? no. toshiba refuses to allow this computer to show more than 2gb to the os
[12:40:57] <timsf> 2gb ought to be enough for anyone :-)
[12:41:05] <lewellyn> i can pop in 3gb and still only see 2gb
[12:41:39] <lewellyn> i suspect it's due to a bug with this cpu and 4gb ram. i'm hoping that upgrading the cpu will trigger some smarts in the bios

[12:49:59] <BenB> xRaich[o]2x: yes... making that learning curve a bit easier by providing nano text editor, and some (c)fdisk-like tool with that name, would go a long way.

[12:52:53] <tsoome> quite many config files are using tabs as separator, quite many "modeless" editors are silently replacing tabs with spaces. i have seen loads of people whining why their syslog.conf etc are not working as intended

[12:53:41] <BenB> tsoome: this is an old discussion. no, I am not going to use vi. I am not going to tell my reasons, because I don't want to be insulting :).
[12:53:45] <tsoome> sure, there is nothing bad with nano by itself
[12:53:49] <lewellyn> emacs, then :)
[12:53:55] <colyte> lewellyn: Don't even go there ;) There's no argument for stuff like VI except for "habit".
[12:54:00] <BenB> lewellyn: that's what I installed now: emacs
[12:54:23] <BenB> colyte: "vi" is the law! (also called "POSIX"-mandated)
[12:54:46] *** peteh1 has quit IRC
[12:54:47] <lewellyn> colyte: people see me use my vi keys on the command line and think that i'm using some uber-advanced shell with how quickly i can do things
[12:55:24] <tsoome> besides, if i compare myself with those "nano" people i have seen, i usually have completed my task with vi ages before them.
[12:55:46] <houst0n> vim is essential
[12:55:48] <houst0n> :P
[12:56:03] <BenB> tsoome: that's not even the question. I hate vi. that's not going to change. if there's only vi, I'm not going to use solaris, simple as that.
[12:56:04] <houst0n> I'm a tad biased though, I'm a vim maintainer :P
[12:56:09] <lewellyn> but yeah, stock editors are pretty much vi, vim, emacs, gobby, gedit, bluefish
[12:56:29] <BenB> I'm simply making suggestions how to make Solaris more friendly to newcomers and how to win over more people.
[12:56:31] <tsoome> you dont have to use vi to use solaris
[12:56:42] <houst0n> BenB: vi is on every unix box you'll probably ever see, it's a very good thing to spend 5 minutes learning
[12:56:50] <lewellyn> BenB: it's best to not give newcomers the tools they would like to use to shoot off both feet ;)
[12:56:58] *** lisppaste3 has joined #opensolaris
[12:57:04] <houst0n> lewellyn: Bjarne quote?
[12:57:13] <lewellyn> a what quote?
[12:57:25] <saohh> is wine working on Solaris?
[12:57:30] <BenB> stop arguing about how I should vi, please. it's the same answers every time, and they are wrong. because it's all about *me*. *I* don'tr want vi, end of story.
[12:57:32] <houst0n> Erm, well.. Ah nevermind
[12:57:44] <tsoome> tbh, i am not sure i wanna see people on solaris who cant learn basic tool like vi. i mean, how can they understand and solve more complex issues?
[12:57:49] <lewellyn> BenB: i gave you the 6 included editors
[12:57:55] <lewellyn> *none* of those are simple enough?
[12:58:14] <BenB> there are 3 camps: vi and emacs, and Visual Studio. I am the emacs or eclipse camp.
[12:58:18] <BenB> d/emacs or/
[12:58:22] <houst0n> BenB: Of course it's personal preference, but if you're planning on using unix/unix-like os's for anything other than a hobby, you're going to _NEED_ to learn it. The idea that my company would hire anyone who gets lost when they open the default editor is laughable
[12:58:23] <lewellyn> then use emacs or bluefish
[12:58:27] *** CyberBlue has joined #opensolaris
[12:58:28] <BenB> lewellyn: which ones?
[12:58:36] <lewellyn> <lewellyn> but yeah, stock editors are pretty much vi, vim, emacs, gobby, gedit, bluefish
[12:58:44] <lewellyn> in addition, there's things like nano in SFE
[12:58:50] <BenB> lewellyn: I only found vi and emacs, for the commandline.
[12:59:09] <lewellyn> you may have to install the packages from the repo if you're not using sxce
[12:59:19] <houst0n> I have a bad habit of ln -s /opt/csw/bin/vim /opt/csw/bin/emacs on my boxes ;)
[12:59:25] <houst0n> Really pisses off this one dev we have :D
[12:59:25] *** calumb is now known as calLNCH
[12:59:28] <BenB> houst0n: I'm using Linux (which is Unix-like) since 10 years, for hobby and job, and never needed vi, apart from situations like this.
[12:59:49] <ofu_> is it possible to detach a zil device when the pool is exported? as far as i understand, the zil is flushed to the pool while exporting
[12:59:57] * lewellyn makes a note to only include vi and emacs in his linux distro
[13:00:17] <tsoome> ofu_: you cant modify pool if its not imported
[13:00:59] <ofu_> uhm
[13:01:15] <BenB> I'm sorry, but that's just arrogance. I have achieved quite a lot of serious software development in my life. <tsoome> tbh, i am not sure i wanna see people on solaris who cant learn basic tool like vi. i mean, how can they understand and solve more complex issues?
[13:01:26] <tsoome> BenB: I have actually had situations where all those nice shiny editors are just plain unusable because terminal line was too slow and unreliable
[13:01:29] <houst0n> BenB: Frankly, I would never have hired you. While you may hate vi/vim, the ability to use what is commonly the ONLY editor installed on a unix machine is a rather important one. It takes 10 minutes to learn it's basic use, anyone who is unwilling to do so, regardless of their "10 years" experience is a fool.
[13:01:58] <DerSaidin> vim was one of the first tools I used on linux & solaris
[13:02:12] <DerSaidin> now I even use Visual Studio with a VIM plugin
[13:02:25] <BenB> houst0n: I *refuse* to learn vi, because I think it's *sick*, and it makes everybody mind-sick who understands it.
[13:02:37] <houst0n> Why is that?
[13:02:39] *** lesterc has joined #opensolaris
[13:02:45] <houst0n> Am I sick minded for using a text editor? are you insane?
[13:02:50] <BenB> again, it's a matter of *preference*, so please don't enforce your preference on others, and install nano by default
[13:02:52] <tsoome> vi is not the best editor, or most user friendly, granted. but it depends on needs and user experience.
[13:02:59] <DerSaidin> BenB: ok. when you get in, press i. Do not press escape until your done, then press :wq to save and quit
[13:03:01] <BenB> there cannot be a technical reason against that, because it's 100K or so.
[13:03:22] <DerSaidin> not much to learn really
[13:03:29] <houst0n> No no no, vi skills aren't a preference for a unix sysadmin, they're a requirement. Preference may be for other editors but you NEED vi skills to be a sysadmin. Even if it's just learning to hit i, esc, hjkl and :wq
[13:03:31] <BenB> FWIW, I did manage to edit sshd_config with vi. but it does have the effect of driving me away, and even more so this very disucssion.
[13:03:39] <tsoome> i like it because its *fast*, it will do the work regardless you have your mouse or arrow keys or not and its really powerful
[13:03:42] <BenB> houst0n: I'm not a sysadmin.
[13:03:52] <houst0n> There's nothing stopping you installing another editor
[13:04:03] <houst0n> Figured :p
[13:04:05] <BenB> houst0n: there is. nano is not in package manager.
[13:04:14] <houst0n> www.blastwave.org
[13:04:18] <lewellyn> BenB: seriously, there's valid technical reasons for not shipping nano. so don't be surprised if it doesn't happen.
[13:04:20] <BenB> houst0n: I'm a developer.
[13:04:23] <oenone> ed ftw
[13:04:36] <tsoome> but for editing thousans of lines of code is a whole different story obviously - all this syntax highlighting etc
[13:04:37] <houst0n> echo ++
[13:04:38] <lesterc> I know a OS professor who use emacs to edit config files. :)
[13:04:46] <BenB> ok, forget it. I was trying to be helpful, and face ignorance. nevermind.
[13:04:51] <lewellyn> oenone: i was good and didn't mention ex ;)
[13:04:57] <oenone> i once had to use ed, because no other editor was available
[13:05:09] <houst0n> oenone: Arrgghh, that sounds horrible
[13:05:12] <tsoome> ed in dos.... ymmw:P
[13:05:17] <lewellyn> BenB: it's not ignorance to keep people from being able to easily kill their systems
[13:05:26] <seanmcg> theres also cat + sed + mv...
[13:05:39] <lewellyn> gsed -i # :D
[13:05:43] <BenB> seanmcg: yup, I sometimes use that, to avoid using vi :)
[13:05:54] <tsoome> seanmcg: done even that if needed
[13:06:02] <oenone> vi is very powerful
[13:06:14] <lewellyn> vi is almost too powerful :)
[13:06:15] <_setuid_H> Does anybody have Solaris Security Essentials book?
[13:06:28] <houst0n> too powerful? Pah!
[13:06:32] * BenB takes note: opensolaris people don't want to win over linux people.
[13:06:51] <houst0n> BenB: that's a little unfounded
[13:06:52] <tsoome> wtf, why should we wanna "win" over someone?
[13:07:07] <houst0n> But i don't really care about linux people
[13:07:10] <_setuid_H> I'm going to buy one of the books (SSE, OpenSolaris Bible or Solaris Performance and Tools)
[13:07:16] <houst0n> If they're happy using linux, then use linux
[13:07:19] <_setuid_H> but don't know which one to choose
[13:07:27] <houst0n> If they want zones, zfs, dtrace and a rock solid abi, use solaris
[13:07:45] <houst0n> _setuid_H: #bookz on undernet, get all three for free :P
[13:07:49] <_setuid_H> houst0n: I used linux years ago but I changed mi mind :-)
[13:07:49] <BenB> houst0n: now, the price question: if you want zfs and nano?
[13:08:02] <houst0n> BenB: Then install nano from blastwave.org
[13:08:06] <lewellyn> BenB: SFE
[13:08:06] <houst0n> I think we have it
[13:08:07] <houst0n> 1 sec
[13:08:11] <houst0n> If not I can package it for you.
[13:08:20] <BenB> houst0n: fine... all I suggested was to make that easier, or even the default.
[13:08:39] <tsoome> if you cant download and install nano from net, why are you even bothering to use *any* unix like, or computers at all?
[13:08:55] <BenB> because a newbie doesn't know how to "install from blastwave", or that blastwave exists.
[13:09:04] <tsoome> you cant really expect to have every piece of sw *you* like installed
[13:09:06] <houst0n> BenB: It's not very hard........
[13:09:15] <lewellyn> BenB: at least in its current state, opensolaris is VERY not newbie friendly
[13:09:21] <houst0n> there are details instructions on the website and an apt-get like tool for installing the software
[13:09:25] <BenB> tsoome: your arrogance is so dripping, it's really arkward.
[13:09:30] <houst0n> nano-1.2.5,REV=2005.08.14-SunOS5.8-i386-CSW.pkg.gz is there btw, but a little old
[13:09:31] <tsoome> newbie will use gnome graphical text editor
[13:09:38] <lewellyn> tsoome: exactly
[13:09:55] <BenB> lewellyn: yes... therefore my well-minded suggestions to how improve the situation with little effort :)
[13:10:04] <houst0n> I suspect a software developer of 10 years can handle installing some packages ;)
[13:10:18] <_setuid_H> BenB: opensolaris is user friendly for those who are not lazy to read more than fire lines of text and for people who knows how to form a string which will be processed by google
[13:10:20] <houst0n> Unless.... You don't write php do you?
[13:10:21] <houst0n> ;)~
[13:10:25] <lewellyn> BenB: including a known-problematic editor is not "little effort"
[13:10:34] <BenB> houst0n: assuming he knows the source... I only heard about blastwave here.
[13:10:52] <tsoome> man google
[13:10:55] <tsoome> really
[13:10:56] <DerSaidin> lool
[13:11:01] <houst0n> We're not hiding, google "solaris packages"
[13:11:09] <tsoome> 10 years developer....
[13:11:11] <BenB> No manual entry for google.
[13:11:40] <oenone> i got in touch with solaris a few days ago.. blastwave was the first thing i was introduced to
[13:11:46] <_setuid_H> tsoome: well in the class on high school, my school mates got a simple task, find on the web how to list directory in liux
[13:11:48] <_setuid_H> linux
[13:11:55] <houst0n> oenone: Good to hear! :D
[13:12:07] <_setuid_H> tsoome: they were so stupid so they wrote to the google input box: linux
[13:12:09] <tsoome> if you are really developer, you are able to compile from source anything you have need for.
[13:12:10] <Stric> lewellyn: what are the known problems with nano btw?
[13:12:14] <oenone> okay, i was joining a dev group that used blastwave and sxce as development env
[13:12:15] *** wewek has joined #opensolaris
[13:12:18] <_setuid_H> :-D
[13:12:34] <_setuid_H> some people are just lazy to think
[13:12:39] <BenB> tsoome: I talked about making it *easy*, ok?
[13:12:42] <BenB> nnevermind, guys.
[13:13:08] * oenone used openbsd for >10 years now, so reading manual pages is nothing new
[13:13:24] <houst0n> tsoome: fuck that for a game of soldiers, can you imagine compiling _everything_ you use on your desktop?
[13:13:28] <lewellyn> Stric: nano makes it really easy to mix up spaces and tabs, for one. i recall, as someone mentioned, that it replaces tabs with spaces, often.
[13:13:42] <houst0n> :P
[13:13:49] <lewellyn> very bad for things that expect tabs.
[13:14:07] <oenone> only thing i miss is apropos (or man -k) - man(1) tells me to run catman(1M), but catman stops with an error
[13:14:23] <Stric> lewellyn: ok.. Makefile and sendfile.cf comes to mind.. of which one should die a horrible death ages ago..
[13:14:32] <lewellyn> syslog.conf?
[13:14:33] <lewellyn> ;)
[13:14:33] <houst0n> oenone: I've not used obsd in years, is theo still a total arse?
[13:14:48] <oenone> theo is still very polite, yeah ;)
[13:14:51] <houst0n> hehe
[13:14:58] <lewellyn> various config files expect tabs
[13:15:10] <tsoome> houst0n: i did start on sunos 3.2 on sun3/50, university environment; no funding, blocked from access to os upgrades by US export laws... yes, i have done compiling everything i need for desktop and more.
[13:15:12] <lewellyn> and sometimes, that's underdocumented
[13:15:16] <houst0n> What's the new rev like? I used to like obsd because you can go from booting install media->working webserver in like 10 minutes
[13:15:37] <oenone> new rev?
[13:15:44] <houst0n> oenone: err, 4.4
[13:15:45] <houst0n> ?
[13:15:50] <lewellyn> i used to like obsd because it caused my ipc to keep me warm. :D
[13:16:00] <oenone> ah.. there is lots of work done
[13:16:03] <houst0n> tsoome: Heh, fair enough, that's a shiteload of effort though
[13:16:05] <lewellyn> i swear obsd was slower than solaris on my ipc
[13:16:23] *** niq has quit IRC
[13:16:57] <oenone> damn.. i shouldn't have chosen german as language in the installer
[13:17:09] <lewellyn> hahaha
[13:17:25] <oenone> all error messages are spit out in german
[13:17:28] <tsoome> it was time to ftp and gopher; all sw was distributed as sources you had to port stuff if needed. not just configure;make install
[13:17:54] <houst0n> tsoome: I wish it was a case of configure; make install!
[13:17:57] <BenB> oenone: try LANG=C
[13:18:01] * lewellyn never seems to get lucky enough to just configure and make :P
[13:18:13] <houst0n> lewellyn: Heh esp with sunstudio
[13:18:20] <houst0n> Blehhing linux devs
[13:18:32] <lewellyn> esp with these things that use abstraction layers on top of c++ :(
[13:19:06] <oenone> catman gives an awk-error.. anybody experienced this before?
[13:19:14] <houst0n> What's catman?
[13:19:28] <BenB> tsoome: I think Mozilla AMiga port is still waiting to be done, if you like porting.
[13:19:33] <tsoome> i gave up building stuff on my own when more and more packages were failing to env CC=cc LC_ALL=C ./configure.
[13:19:39] <BenB> tsoome: you'll be sure to be the hero for many people

[13:34:30] <colyte> solaris docs lacks examples. i also feel they lack the beginning of the story, as well as the end of the story as it were.
[13:34:42] <colyte> :|
[13:36:32] <tsoome> manuals in docs.sun.com are not course textbooks
[13:36:51] <tsoome> never meant to be.
[13:37:17] <BenB> where are the course textbooks (online)?

[13:37:34] <tsoome> not sure if there are
[13:37:41] *** Ramdac_ has joined #opensolaris
[13:37:58] <colyte> In comparison to linux docs which is where i come from. Well there's no comparison.
[13:37:59] <tsoome> never searched for them myself, so cant really comment
[13:38:07] <houst0n> sun docs can be a tad heavy
[13:38:23] <Ramdac_> guys i'm gonna install opensolaris any advice before proceeding
[13:38:47] <BenB> colyte: yes, Linux has the same problem. I don't know any good, short introduction which I can point linux/nix newbies to.
[13:40:31] <Ramdac_> guys i'm gonna install opensolaris any advice before proceeding
[13:40:41] <colyte> BenB: Depends on the distribution really.
[13:40:54] <tsoome> you can always buy something from http://www.sun.com/training/catalog/operating_systems/sys_admin.xml :D
[13:41:02] <BenB> colyte: the GUI stuff, yes. but the commandline is pretty much the same.
[13:41:14] <BenB> colyte: (apart from package management)

[13:44:25] <houst0n> Ramdac_: Nope
[13:44:39] <houst0n> It will overwrite whatever is there though so be sure to back your data up

[13:44:50] <Ramdac_> all of the hard disk??
[13:45:02] <houst0n> If it's your first time I would suggest you perhaps unplug any other disks to be sure you write to the correct one

[13:45:59] <BenB> houst0n: everybody in his right mind writes programs in |sh|

[13:46:14] <tsoome> if seriously == False: sys.exit(1) :D
[13:46:31] <BenB> srsly?
[13:46:32] <houst0n> BenB: I'll stick to c and perl for now, all I need for work =)

[13:48:14] *** tosh has joined #opensolaris
[13:48:18] <xRaich[o]2x> really depends on what you want to do
[13:48:45] *** sophokles has joined #opensolaris
[13:48:54] <houst0n> It does, yeah
[13:49:03] <Stric> For quite a lot of tasks, I have no need what so ever to know the size of an int
[13:49:10] <houst0n> Most times you can achieve a task in any number of languages
[13:49:13] <Stric> For some, it's crucial
[13:49:29] <xRaich[o]2x> Stric: exactly
[13:49:37] <houst0n> Have you checked out FalconPL? It's really quite nice
[13:49:44] <houst0n> But, "yet another scripting lang? *sigh*"
[13:49:50] *** Ramdac_ has quit IRC
[13:50:17] <Stric> For most of the stuff I do (sysadmin tasks), I couldn't care less, other than a variable should be able to hold any reasonable sized number I put in there (ie 64bit)
[13:50:23] <xRaich[o]2x> i mean: why the hell should i bother with registers when i just have to parse some regex
[13:50:28] <lewellyn> houst0n: yes. whence/typeset are part of POSIX
[13:50:45] <lewellyn> so any halfway-decent shell should have them
[13:50:51] <houst0n> xRaich[o]2x, Stric - I agree, I didn't mean you *NEED* to know these for most tasks
[13:51:05] <jzu_> Any good guides for migrating Linux to OpenSolaris/Solaris?
[13:51:15] <houst0n> Just that, for me anyway, I feel a programmer *SHOULD* know
[13:51:31] <houst0n> I'm living in the past though I guess :P
[13:51:34] <Stric> jzu_: see topic
[13:51:53] <Stric> jzu_: didn't see that one coming, eh? :)
[13:51:59] <xRaich[o]2x> houst0n: yeah that kind of perception is pretty old fashioned since there are a lot of different breeds of programmers
[13:51:59] <jzu_> Stric: haha ;)
[13:52:28] <houst0n> Old fashioned/elitist w/e :P
[13:53:03] <tsoome> xRaich[o]2x: I would say most todays "programmers" should be banned from computer access:P okok, compiler access.
[13:53:05] <xRaich[o]2x> houst0n: all programmers are somehow
[13:53:24] <houst0n> I just can't consider someone who spends all day writing CSS sheets and php a programmer, no matter how hard I try
[13:53:45] <houst0n> I mean, what the hell sort of programmer spends 3 days making some page look the same on 4 diff browsers?
[13:53:48] <houst0n> :P
[13:53:58] <xRaich[o]2x> tsoome: hrhr yeah. i talked to a friend of mine yesterday and he was totally shocked that i'm pretty pedantic about the C++ standard :P
[13:54:07] <wdp> houst0n, 4 days? thats a bad programmer.
[13:54:13] <tsoome> :D
[13:54:15] <wdp> houst0n, if you need a good one, call me
[13:54:18] <wdp> :-P
[13:54:22] <xRaich[o]2x> most "programmers" think everything that compiles is good
[13:54:23] <houst0n> Hmm, I do actually

[13:55:20] <tsoome> what a waste:(

[13:55:30] <houst0n> :P
[13:55:54] <wdp> its just easier for me to do stuff in php. i even sorted all my audio files using php
[13:55:56] <wdp> <- nerd
[13:56:05] <houst0n> I use perl for most such tasks
[13:56:08] <wdp> houst0n, haha. nice try, nice try :>

[14:02:41] <lewellyn> i eventually gave that up because someone was able to prove to me in 5 minutes that vi was superior

[14:08:59] <tsoome> even if you have 3GHz cpu in pc and 400MHz cpu in sun...

[14:11:43] <lewellyn> not to say i don't use CSW packages on my solaris 10 machines, but those are when i get upset at something that won't compile for me
[14:11:55] <lewellyn> i'm going to be trying SFE on Solaris 10/SPARC soon
[14:12:09] <lewellyn> i would prefer having my own package repo anyhow
[14:12:12] <houst0n> The advantage is that you can have /opt/csw over nfs, and the pkgs work on sol8->9->10->11
[14:12:17] <lewellyn> i hate having different versions of things across machines
[14:12:27] <lewellyn> i only need them to work on 10 ;)
[14:12:39] <houst0n> Ah, lucky you
[14:12:44] <lewellyn> and i don't need all machines to have the same exact software
[14:12:45] <houst0n> we have a massive sol 8 estate
[14:12:49] <houst0n> as do lots of other companies
[14:12:49] <BenB> houst0n: for me, sol10 is old :)
[14:12:53] <lewellyn> in fact, it could be a bad thing.
[14:13:03] <houst0n> BenB: I'm talking corp hehe =)
[14:13:06] <lewellyn> and nfs mounting it breaks having the software in zones
[14:13:08] <houst0n> Home users sure 10 is a bit dated
[14:13:12] <houst0n> It's rock solid though
[14:13:20] <lewellyn> BenB: there's a new S10 coming soon, don't worry :)
[14:14:04] <BenB> fwiw, I think it's good that you have the choice between "not changing" and "newest stuff".
[14:14:13] <lewellyn> only reason i am not running solaris 10 on this laptop is because i gave up on the ath driver :P
[14:14:37] <lewellyn> i usually don't jump on SX early on :P
[14:14:49] <houst0n> sxce is _MASSIVE_ and opensolaris is a bit crap really.. belenix is nice

[17:11:34] <BenB> trichobezoar: if it still crashes there, it's likely something corrupted on the server.
[17:12:12] <BenB> if that doesn't crash, check the other files in your profile (but be careful, there's valuable data like your spam training etc.)

[18:15:51] *** tfb has joined #opensolaris
[18:16:22] <tsoome> Ramdac__: no really sure if thats supported;)
[18:17:34] <Ramdac__> tsoome: what do u mean?
[18:17:55] <tsoome> traditional solaris install supports only primary partition
[18:18:11] <BenB> tsoome: no.... I tried to reboot the system, because I couldn't graphically login anymore either, thought somethign was strange.... it's still in the process of shutdown, which is strange. it was always very slow, but not that slow.
[18:18:23] <BenB> (slow to shut down, not generally)
[18:18:40] * BenB kills the VM
[18:19:01] <Stric> Ramdac__: the "logical partition" is actually nested partition tables.. and then solaris has its own system on top of that, which would mean 3 nested tables..
[18:19:19] <Ramdac__> tsoome: is there a way to hack into the inner partition of the logical partition
[18:19:21] <Stric> Ramdac__: and afaik, installing to such nested partition tables is currently not supported
[18:21:27] <Ramdac__> Stric:so u say that the only way is to delete the whole logical partition
[18:21:44] *** capaz has joined #opensolaris

[18:26:36] <tsoome> fdisk logical partitions are microsoft invention and for microsoft OS. im not really familiar with fdisk standards, but im not even sure you are supposed to be able to boot from logical partition
[18:27:08] <Ramdac__> Stric: from the words u just said u mean that UNIX also doesnt support nested partitions
[18:27:28] <Stric> Ramdac__: .. I said what?
[18:28:16] <Stric> what definition of "UNIX" are you using in that statement? The trademarked UNIX OS, the "concept" UNIX or the "UNIX-like OS'es" ?
[18:28:38] <Ramdac__> Stric: u said that "it's the kernel itself that needs to support it"
[18:28:45] <oenone> is it possible to install sxce with only a cd drive?
[18:28:47] <Stric> Yes. And (open)solaris doesn't.
[18:29:03] <Ramdac__> Stric : but open solaris is UNIX
[18:29:42] <Stric> Ramdac__: Did I say that AIX doesn't support it? (it doesn't, since it doesn't run on x86 anyway)
[18:29:54] <Stric> I'm not sure what you're trying to say, imply or ask..
[18:30:04] <Stric> (AIX is also UNIX)

[18:30:37] <g4lt-lappy> no, AIX is the devil
[18:30:58] <Stric> Ramdac__: What I am saying is that anything based on the Solaris kernel (such as regular Solaris and OpenSolaris) will not be able to boot from your extended/logical partitions

[18:38:14] *** _coredump_ has joined #opensolaris
[18:38:25] <Stric> So I think you are confusing yourself with definitions, and then using that to confuse others ;)
[18:39:17] <tsoome> Ramdac__: what you need to do to install solaris is to make enough space available for 1 primary artition.

[18:42:38] <axisys> how do I download the filebench source code from http://src.opensolaris.org/source/xref/onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/filebench ?

[18:43:29] <BenB> ok, that's fantastic... I had to kill the solaris VM, because it didn't react anymore.

[18:44:04] <BenB> or do I need to do something for it to be found?
[18:44:14] <tsoome> are the disk devices still there?
[18:44:14] *** tfb has quit IRC
[18:44:15] <Stric> Ramdac__: No, "Unix" is a concept of which there are multiple implementations that follow the same concept
[18:44:38] <cmihai> Ramdac__: UNIX is a trademark and a specification. Systems fully compliant with that specification are called UNIX.
[18:44:39] <BenB> tsoome: yes, format lists them
[18:44:40] <Ramdac__> tsoome: i was just reading it :)
[18:45:12] <cmihai> The latest of those is the Single UNIX Specification, version 3.
[18:45:13] *** _Steve_` has joined #opensolaris
[18:45:17] *** sndcrb has quit IRC
[18:45:20] <tsoome> zpool import ? does it give any hints?
[18:45:29] *** ken has quit IRC
[18:45:40] <Stric> Ramdac__: Firefox and IE are both web browsers, but they don't share the code. Solaris and Linux are both Unix-like OS'es, but they don't share code (ok, some are used in both, but..)
[18:45:43] *** sndcrb has joined #opensolaris
[18:45:48] <cmihai> This specification means things will function as expected by developers, users, etc.
[18:46:01] <Ramdac__> I understand now
[18:46:03] <cmihai> UNIX is, for all intent and purpose, little more than a common standard and a set of certifications.
[18:46:13] <BenB> tsoome: yes, zpool import finds it.
[18:46:19] <BenB> tsoome: how does that happen?
[18:46:24] <cmihai> And it's somewhat vague, as the vendors are free to implement a truck load of features and extras on top.
[18:46:42] <tsoome> for some reason the pool cache was broken?
[18:46:46] *** AxeZ has joined #opensolaris
[18:47:15] <cmihai> So what you'll get is a common set of UNIX certified operating systems like AIX and Solaris. Applications that rely on the UNIX part will run, compile and work seamlessly on all UNIX systems. But each have their own specific extra tools and such.
[18:47:23] <BenB> tsoome: why doesn't did it break (it shouldn't lose data, even in face of powerouts), and why didn't it find it automatically, given that zpool import can find it?
[18:47:26] <tsoome> im not really sure how *exactly* the zfs will determine if the visible pool should be mounted or not
[18:47:32] *** _Steve_` has quit IRC
[18:47:47] *** ken has joined #opensolaris
[18:47:52] <holcomb> hmmm... fmd just offlined one of my cpus. hope it's not really broken.
[18:47:57] <Ramdac__> so Unix is just a standard that other OSes follow
[18:47:59] *** _Steve_` has joined #opensolaris
[18:48:09] <tsoome> also, since you are using solaris in VM and you did nuke VM, that may confuse things...
[18:48:21] <BenB> tsoome: zpool list only shows the root pool. after zpool import, and zpool import <mypoolname>, zpool list shows it again
[18:48:34] *** inaddy has quit IRC
[18:48:37] <tsoome> yep
[18:48:56] <tsoome> zpool import will show you pools what can be imported
[18:48:58] <cmihai> Ramdac__: and a certification / test suite that says the OS follows the specification.
[18:49:34] <cmihai> For example, every UNIX system will have the "cat" command to concatenate and print files, and will support at LEAST the -u flag to Write bytes from the input file to the standard output without delay as each is read.
[18:49:47] <cmihai> The specs defines these things.
[18:49:53] *** _Steve_` has quit IRC
[18:49:56] <Ramdac__> cmihai:its like quality assurance
[18:50:04] <cmihai> The vendor is free to add the "tac" command to print files in reverse.
[18:50:09] <cmihai> Or to add the -z flag. Whatever.
[18:50:17] *** _Steve_ has joined #opensolaris
[18:50:27] <cmihai> Ramdac__: makes it seamless to port applications too.
[18:50:30] <oenone> any way to install SXCE without dvd drive?
[18:50:39] <tsoome> from network
[18:50:45] <cmihai> Your app just needs to use UNIX/POSIX features, and it should run on every UNIX system.
[18:51:06] <BenB> Ramdac__: to make matters more complicated, all Unices have a common code root... there was an original unix. it was re-created from scratch, known as "BSD". many other unices used part of that and derived from there. linux is a parly complete rewrite again, but they are all "somewhat" compatible. there's a standard, POSIX, which says what shall be called "compatible"; but it's not really sufficient in practice either. in short,
[18:51:06] <BenB> it's a "family" of operating systems.
[18:51:07] <Ramdac__> now i understand
[18:51:34] <oenone> tsoome: okay, thanks..
[18:51:44] <cmihai> Common code isn't mandatory.

[18:52:57] <cmihai> Heck, MacOS managed to pass the certification

[18:54:18] <cmihai> The tools aren't, but the base stuff like say NTFS is
[18:54:32] <cmihai> The filesystem is case sensitive for example
[18:54:35] <cmihai> the tools aren't

[18:56:23] <holcomb> it complies with SUSv3. not sure what that means
[18:56:32] <BenB> tsoome: what makes me uneasy is that solaris lost files on powerout.
[18:56:34] <holcomb> i think there are a lot of people at sun who deal with the standards geekery who could tell you
[18:56:40] <CosmicDJ> that means you can call it UNIX ;)
[18:56:47] <cmihai> BenB: no, they don't ship the POSIX subsystem anymore, they ship SFU / SUA (Interix stuff)
[18:56:51] <tsoome> BenB: did it lost really?;)
[18:56:54] <_Steve_> POSIX != UNIX

[19:25:06] <tsoome> might be the reason yep

[19:26:15] <tsoome> well, once again, what data loss?!
[19:26:20] <BenB> I once tried it on bare metal, but solaris didn't like my hardware (nforce chipset)
[19:26:46] <BenB> tsoome: the fact that it didn't see my pool after boot.... it must have lost some /etc or cache file
[19:27:21] <tsoome> that was *my* guess it might be the reason. but then again, it might not
[19:27:26] <BenB> I can try it again on bare metal. some other day.
[19:27:53] <tsoome> as i told, im not sure about *exact* mechanism how solaris will determine what to import automatically and what now

[19:28:37] <turtle> or maybe it was just user error
[19:28:52] <BenB> and given that I am looking mainly for data reliabilty, I hope you can understand I'm uneasy.
[19:29:03] <tsoome> if you just nuke your system, things will happen
[19:29:40] <BenB> tsoome: not on Linux with XFS. I had quite a lot of power outages, and didn't notice any data loss in the last 2 years (luckily!)
[19:29:52] <tsoome> rofl
[19:30:02] <tsoome> not with linux....
[19:30:20] <tsoome> linux fails even to detect disk errors in proper way
[19:30:50] <BenB> that's my experience, that linux is rock-solid *shrug*.
[19:30:51] <ry_laptop> linux rocksers my boxers
[19:30:58] <ry_laptop> it is until, it isn't.
[19:31:17] <tsoome> i have seen linux running and then just reset
[19:31:26] <ry_laptop> I've seen linux lose filesystem commits.
[19:31:28] <ry_laptop> once I lost /etc/
[19:31:29] <tsoome> reboot, run random amount of time - reset
[19:31:47] <ry_laptop> this was a clean shutdown.
[19:31:49] <BenB> well, I have just seen that with solaris
[19:31:59] <ry_laptop> seen what?
[19:32:02] <turtle> BenB: when your pool didn't import on boot what did you do? did you try to manually import it? did you give up? what happend?
[19:32:08] <holcomb> wait. are you saying anecdotal evidence cannot be used to extrapolate facts?
[19:32:09] <jbk> i live the random ext3 'ooh problem, switching to read only mode, oh and by the way, you have to reboot & fsck to fix'
[19:32:10] <tsoome> on top of crappy virtual machine engine
[19:32:16] <holcomb> why didn't anybody tell me that!
[19:32:23] <BenB> you blame it on the VM, but the VM is just hardware towards solaris... your linux problem could just as well also be hardware, I could say... that's not helpful.
[19:32:39] <ry_laptop> all oses sucks
[19:32:42] <tsoome> VM is *never* just an hardware
[19:32:44] <ry_laptop> let's move on.
[19:32:52] <ry_laptop> bsd rules
[19:32:57] <BenB> holcomb: I think 10 years of expierence allows drawing some conclusions, yes.
[19:32:58] <ry_laptop> amiga os forever.
[19:33:22] <ry_laptop> I never trust anyone that depends on "their years of expeirence" as an indicator
[19:33:32] <BenB> jbk: I don't know ext3... I'm using XFS.
[19:33:35] <tsoome> btw my linux issue was HW related, the HW was bad. but instead of reporting it, it just plain reset without any trace
[19:33:40] <holcomb> multics4life
[19:33:43] <ry_laptop> lol
[19:34:26] <BenB> ry_laptop: so, how do you know that solaris is reliable? because of your years of experience? or that of others?
[19:34:34] <BenB> or because of statistics (=lies)?
[19:34:42] <ry_laptop> I don't trust any os.
[19:34:55] <BenB> you use paper, ok.
[19:34:57] <ry_laptop> I configure it the job it's suppose to do, test failure conditions. and pray.
[19:35:04] <eviljames> BenB: I use XFS as well, I'm in the same boat, never noticed any data loss.
[19:35:06] <ry_laptop> benb : stop trying to argue.
[19:35:19] <eviljames> BenB: But therein lies the rub. "noticed". You won't notice a silent write error.
[19:35:29] <tsoome> btw, regarding to hw - i have s10 + zfs on top of 450 with 2x 400Mhz cpu. its needless to say it just rocks. not blazing fast, but works without any issues.
[19:35:38] <ry_laptop> I use ext3 on linux becuase it's well understood by the linux kerne ldevelopers
[19:35:40] <eviljames> BenB: Or if the filesystem spontaneously drops a commit, or if you can't remember which files are on your 500GB disk, etc. etc.
[19:35:52] <ry_laptop> whenever their's a disconnect in the linux community things break, that's why I tend to avoid linux.
[19:35:55] <BenB> eviljames: that's presicely why I want to try solaris.
[19:36:08] <ry_laptop> thta and drivers break all the time, making it too costly to maintain linux systems.
[19:36:08] <BenB> eviljames: I am concerned about harddisks getting unreliable.
[19:36:15] <ry_laptop> not to mention windows has a more advanced filesystem than linux
[19:36:22] <ry_laptop> there are just too many strikes against linux.
[19:36:31] <eviljames> BenB: All hard disks are unreliable. CERN did a study, and generic disks do something like 3 - 5 *SILENT* write errors per month.
[19:36:46] <ry_laptop> benb : the one rub is, I think linux raid-dp is now dependable, but i haven't looked at that in a year.
[19:36:47] <BenB> eviljames: yes... that's why
[19:36:48] * timeless grumbles
[19:36:52] <timeless> ext=pain
[19:37:02] <eviljames> BenB: ie: OS sends blocks to disk for writing, disk fails to write, and reports to the OS that it wrote correctly.
[19:37:07] <timeless> btw, can someone take some time to walk me through something theoretical w/ zfs?
[19:37:29] <eviljames> timeless: Only if it is a conspiracy theory.
[19:37:44] *** clebig has joined #opensolaris
[19:38:07] <timeless> sorry
[19:38:08] <tsoome> if you look on amount of data CERN got, it must hurt them really bad...
[19:38:13] <ry_laptop> btw benb : I don't trust zfs 100% either.
[19:38:17] <ry_laptop> it's a new fs with issues.
[19:38:31] <eviljames> tsoome: They built a fibre network around the world to distribute the multiple TB of data generated per second from LHC iirc
[19:38:40] <ry_laptop> doesn't have a fsck. ( would be difficult to do, but netapp has "wafl iron" )
[19:38:41] <eviljames> tsoome: A friend of mine works at TRIUMF, and is on said fibre network :D
[19:38:54] <ry_laptop> sometimes arrays get into a pickle and it gives up.
[19:39:04] <eviljames> ry_laptop: "always consistant on disk"
[19:39:07] <ry_laptop> there should be "figure this mess out please" fsck option.
[19:39:12] <eviljames> ry_laptop: and it has zfs scrub
[19:39:22] <ry_laptop> zfs scrub only works if the filesystem is imported.
[19:39:24] <tsoome> i have ex coworker working on cern projects
[19:39:31] <ry_laptop> I'm talking about fsck.
[19:39:33] <eviljames> ry_laptop: and "figure out this mess" is the admin's job, not the system's.
[19:39:51] <ry_laptop> if you have 70 disks, and you have to take over for another admin who is not available.. that arguement falls on the floor.
[19:39:58] <ry_laptop> I know you should track everything.
[19:40:00] <ry_laptop> but shit happens.
[19:40:09] <ry_laptop> netapp does this stuff properly.
[19:40:13] <eviljames> ry_laptop: Well, certainly a file system can't be designed for every corner case like that.
[19:40:14] <ry_laptop> it's that simple.
[19:40:25] <ry_laptop> it has to, and it will be.
[19:40:30] <ry_laptop> as zfs is used by more and more people.
[19:40:41] <ry_laptop> there will be more robust tools that we can do to fix issues.
[19:40:48] <eviljames> It may evolve into it, but designed from the ground up to worry about an edge case? Sounds wasteful to me.
[19:40:52] <ry_laptop> I agree
[19:41:12] <ry_laptop> It's wasteful, but necessary, becusae the world sucks :)
[19:41:15] <BenB> eviljames: question: what does "consistent on disk" mean for ZFS devs? "consistent" for the ZFS filesystem code, or "consistent" for the app?
[19:41:15] <eviljames> timeless: What was the Q?
[19:41:17] <Tusk2> is c++filt the cpp compiler of sunstudio??
[19:41:20] <ry_laptop> I have raid-dp over 6 shelves.
[19:41:39] <ry_laptop> if one shelf powers off, then powers up, and another shelf powers off right after that event... things get dicy
[19:41:45] <flyingparchment> Tusk2: no, c++filt demangles C++ symbols into human-readable symbols. the C++ compiler is CC
[19:41:56] <BenB> eviljames: (assuming the app writes in an order to keep consistency, if the writes stop at any given moment/block)
[19:42:00] <eviljames> BenB: Investigate ZFS closely, atomic, transactional, and end-to-end checksums tend to equate to the filesystem not really needing to be checked.
[19:42:01] *** yippi has joined #opensolaris
[19:42:06] <ry_laptop> zfs handles that case well, but wha thappens if a third shelf goes off ?
[19:42:26] <ry_laptop> zfs somtimes can't pull itself together, and it would be nice to say "make all disks I designate play together, in any way possible "
[19:42:26] <eviljames> BenB: Maybe not 100% never needs checking.
[19:42:47] <BenB> eviljames: I'm not talking about need to check, I'm talking about "what happens, if I pull the power plug at any given moment", including disk write cache
[19:42:50] <tsoome> tbh, if there will be fsck for zfs, it means zfs has failed its design goals.
[19:42:51] <ry_laptop> it may be time consuming, like a wafl iron, but it's invaluable.
[19:42:59] <ry_laptop> not necessarily.
[19:43:00] <flyingparchment> BenB: zfs understands how to flush the disk write cache when required
[19:43:00] <eviljames> BenB: Either it is 100% committed to disk or 0% committed to disk.
[19:43:14] <BenB> eviljames: in the right order?
[19:43:34] <ry_laptop> yeah, when the disks are avialble everything works correctly.
[19:43:38] <BenB> yeah, wouldn't make any sense otherwise
[19:44:11] <ry_laptop> but there are some failure scenarios that seem to give zfs issues.

[19:44:23] <ry_laptop> it gets messy.
[19:44:44] <Tusk2> flyingparchment: yay thx how do i declare in variables that it must use CC ? cause cc doesn't seems to fit
[19:44:50] <ry_laptop> don't get me wrong.
[19:44:52] <ry_laptop> I LOVE ZFS

[20:18:48] *** kimc has joined #opensolaris
[20:20:54] <kimc> have found that a machine i've been running Opensolaris on will not boot the install DVD
[20:22:07] <kimc> was running b101.. tried to install b109 -hangs after printing to the screen the lines indicating its b109 etc
[20:22:25] <CosmicDJ> I have a machine that fails to boot the netbsd 5.0 iso, opensolaris 2008.11, fedora doesn't start after installation...
[20:22:34] <eviljames> kimc: There have been a few people discussing issues with b109 in here.
[20:22:50] <PinkFreud> CosmicDJ: hardware issues?
[20:22:52] <kimc> interesting
[20:23:09] <CosmicDJ> PinkFreud: ubuntu/windoze/freebsd all run fine...
[20:23:13] <kimc> i've got a few 'back issues' of Opensolaris builds here
[20:23:36] <kimc> turns out it wont boot b108 or b107 either
[20:24:35] <kimc> i can't locate b106 or b105.. but i can install b104
[20:24:42] <PinkFreud> CosmicDJ: it all depends on where it fails to boot, of course. I'm surprised to see netbsd on that list, though.
[20:25:07] <kimc> in can install FreeBSD 8-CURRENT
[20:25:14] <tsoome> if so many systems fail, i would dump that machine really
[20:25:25] <CosmicDJ> PinkFreud: well the 4.0 iso (and 3.0, 2.0, 1.6, 1.5) iso's worked fine, 5.0 is broken somehow
[20:25:28] <kimc> and it can install WinXP :)
[20:25:51] <kimc> and it boots FreeDOS :)
[20:25:54] <pjfloyd> kimc: so what are you waiting for?
[20:26:04] <kimc> what do you mean?
[20:26:04] <PinkFreud> CosmicDJ: of course, I've seen some pretty wonky hardware failures. friend with an ubuntu box tried installing WOW under wine. It'd fail in random places.
[20:26:38] <PinkFreud> CosmicDJ: eventually, he found his ps was on it's way out. swapped that out, and suddenly, WOW completed installation without error. :)
[20:26:48] <CosmicDJ> PinkFreud: it's a shitty via chipset, but other than that the HW is quite stable and not faulty
[20:27:22] <kimc> it hangs the machine after: Use is subject to license terms.
[20:27:41] <PinkFreud> CosmicDJ: the ubuntu box appeared perfectly stable other than the WOW install failure, until his ps started causing noticable problems.
[20:27:53] <kimc> This is a Supermicro 'server grade' motherboard
[20:27:54] <CosmicDJ> kimc: http://blogs.sun.com/dmick/entry/diagnosing_kernel_hangs_panics_with
[20:27:55] <PinkFreud> iow, it's entirely possible that you have faulty hardware. :)

[21:01:43] <MindDrive> I believe there's work underway to get OpenSolaris on a new gcc?
[21:01:47] <CosmicDJ> flyingparchment: 3.3.5
[21:02:08] <flyingparchment> CosmicDJ: but that's for the OS, and they have packages for more recent versions for users, right?
[21:02:09] <CosmicDJ> MindDrive: well there's gccfss (for sparc systems ;))
[21:02:26] <MindDrive> Doesn't that still use part of gcc 3.4.3? :)
[21:03:13] <CosmicDJ> flyingparchment: IIRC they haven't switched to anything newer because they still support old hardware (vax or smth like that), which gcc4 don't support anymore
[21:05:02] <CosmicDJ> MindDrive: hm, AFAIK gccfss uses the gcc4 frontend, and the sun studio stuff as backend
[21:05:20] <MindDrive> Really? Huh, didn't realize that.
[21:06:11] <nrich> how can I disable any firewalls on my solaris box
[21:06:12] <Tusk2> CosmicDJ: this is f**** doesn't work
[21:06:18] <MindDrive> *grumble* 90% into the download part for 'pkg image-update' and the damn thing times out.
[21:06:20] <Tusk2> tells me i can't mount it
[21:06:46] <eviljames> MindDrive: Fortunately, I believe those things are cached and it should pick up from 89% when you try again?
[21:06:52] <nrich> for some reason I can't use the samba share: failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

[21:07:58] <CosmicDJ> nrich: did you enable one?
[21:08:19] <eviljames> And the service?
[21:08:24] <nrich> I ran: svcadm enable samba
[21:08:51] <nrich> after renaming the config to just smb.conf
[21:08:57] <nrich> and setting it up

[21:09:38] <CosmicDJ> nrich: well you need to do some more than just setting up smb.conf, I'd say you google for some samba guides
[21:09:52] <nrich> why would I need to do more than that?
[21:10:19] <eviljames> Do you have anything shared? What about zfs set sharesmb=on <dataset> ?
[21:10:25] <nrich> you just set up the smb.conf and start the service, at least that's how we do it on linux
[21:10:41] <eviljames> Just because that's how it's done on Linux doesn't make it correct.
[21:11:03] * nrich sighs
[21:12:04] <eviljames> nrich: You are using a complicated, well-engineered and extremely well-documented system.
[21:12:08] <Tusk2> ok simple question wich part of my pool am i supposed to mount to access my /var dir??
[21:13:29] <nrich> fxck this I'm going to just store the files on a different server
[21:13:59] <nrich> too much work for such little gain, especially when we have other storage available
[21:14:02] <nrich> thanks for your help
[21:16:08] <CosmicDJ> Tusk2: well you import your pool and then you should've access to all your files...
[21:16:14] *** esok has left #opensolaris

[21:16:53] <Tusk2> i got /boot /export and my opensolaris-3

[23:21:27] <ry_laptop> god I wish this phone charged faster...
[23:21:28] <e^ipi> or 15 if you're a damnfool like i am and walk across the bridge
[23:21:43] <jbk> do your trains have issues with colliding with people?
[23:21:50] <eviljames> jbk: They're elevated or underground, so no.
[23:21:51] <ry_laptop> okay, later
[23:21:54] <jbk> ahh
[23:22:01] <jbk> i was just talking about that to someone
[23:22:13] <jbk> they installed light rail a few years ago going through downtown
[23:22:19] <e^ipi> i still maintain that the skytrain was idiotic
[23:22:26] <e^ipi> a subway would be much more cost-efficient
[23:22:30] *** mm55mm_ has joined #opensolaris
[23:22:32] <jbk> and it's ground level -- basically they turned one lane in each direction of main st. into train tracks
[23:22:36] *** jwk404 has left #opensolaris
[23:22:37] <e^ipi> but we had to show off for expo
[23:22:45] <jbk> and has 'issues' with that :)
[23:22:45] <lewellyn> eviljames: <eviljames> I support free laptops, but only for people on welfare.
[23:22:56] <lewellyn> eviljames: so you're all for a secondary income source? :D
[23:23:01] <eviljames> e^ipi: The skytrain is a crown jewel, a showoff point, not really an economic concern :D
[23:23:12] <eviljames> lewellyn: Yeah, if they 'lose' the laptop, the government should provide them with a new one.
[23:23:42] <e^ipi> eviljames: montreal dug a subway because they had some sense, and for a crown jewel turned the dirt in to an island
[23:23:42] <lewellyn> time to get on welfare! ;)
[23:24:00] <palowoda> That means the goverment has to find a way to stop losing laptops.
[23:24:28] <eviljames> e^ipi: And that island is an amusement park now, iirc.
[23:24:30] <oenone> next try..
[23:24:51] <eviljames> e^ipi: I like the skytrain as it is. On nice days you can ride the train and watch the mountains go by.
[23:25:13] <e^ipi> *shrug*
[23:25:54] <lewellyn> ok. quick question. how likely is it that i can attach ndiswrapper to my phone's usb interface? :)
[23:26:16] <palowoda> Highly unlikely.
[23:26:20] <lewellyn> i have the ndis driver,i think i know what it shows up as to the os
[23:26:20] <eviljames> lewellyn: very unlikely.
[23:26:25] <eviljames> damn palowoda beat me to it. :D
[23:26:27] *** proberts has quit IRC
[23:26:40] <lewellyn> so usb network adapters are still unsupported?
[23:26:52] <palowoda> No some are.
[23:27:00] <palowoda> Few models.
[23:27:30] <palowoda> Never tested them though.
[23:27:30] <lewellyn> as far as the os should be concerned, this is a usb network adapter, requiring a ndis driver
[23:27:51] <palowoda> I didn't read anything like that.
[23:28:19] <lewellyn> my phone exposes a few interfaces over usb, one of which is a network adapter
[23:28:24] <lewellyn> windows has an ndis driver
[23:28:37] <lewellyn> opensolaris supports usb and ndis.
[23:28:40] <lewellyn> so, i thought... ;)
[23:28:51] <palowoda> opensolaris has an ndis driver that sucks if it makes you feel better.
[23:29:04] <lewellyn> it's better than not getting online at all
[23:29:24] <palowoda> I guess it's a hardware problem.
[23:30:15] <lewellyn> and the solution would be figuring out how to use the ndis wrapper on an arbitrary usb interface ;)
[23:30:26] <lewellyn> anyhow, shower time
[23:30:48] *** cemerick has joined #opensolaris
[23:30:56] <palowoda> you could ask the driver-usb discuss list.
[23:31:09] <lewellyn> which means getting wine to like my email client, yes
[23:31:24] <e^ipi> wine?
[23:31:37] <eviljames> Probably is stuck with outlook/exchange
[23:31:37] <palowoda> I drink wine and read mail on solaris every day.
[23:31:50] <lewellyn> e^ipi: unless you have something that can check mail against 30 hotmail accounts without puking that's native... ;)

[23:34:23] <lesterc> lewellyn: probably easier to run your own mail server. ;)
[23:34:36] <palowoda> God I remember Sun sent me to Hotmail to talk to them two weeks after MS bought them. What an experience.
[23:34:54] <eviljames> palowoda: How so?
[23:35:32] <palowoda> The evil atmosphere.
[23:35:46] *** glance_ is now known as glance
[23:35:54] <eviljames> I figured that would be part of hotmail before the buyout, but amplified after

[23:40:11] <e^ipi> i still remember when hotmail tried to switch off freebsd in favour of windows 2000 server
[23:40:17] <e^ipi> so many 404's
[23:41:20] <lewellyn> lesterc: not with the spam volume my domains get :(
[23:41:36] <lewellyn> e^ipi: heh. yeah. i was sure hotmail was going to die then.
[23:41:40] <eviljames> lewellyn: That's exactly what I use hotmail for now. Spamtrap
[23:41:44] <lewellyn> but luckily, they've made it more stable
[23:41:49] *** stewart has joined #opensolaris
[23:41:55] <lewellyn> eviljames: they do an excellent job filtering spam
[23:41:56] *** Gman_ has quit IRC
[23:42:39] <eviljames> lewellyn: hahaha no they don't.
[23:42:43] <lewellyn> i was running a fakehermes as backup mx for a few days... i quickly realized that was a bad idea on a metered line :(
[23:42:53] <eviljames> lewellyn: My inbox has exactly 3,000 spam messages in it RIGHT NOW.
[23:43:10] <lesterc> wow
[23:43:24] <lewellyn> as i said, i get at most 1 or 2 pieces of spam per day, out of 3000+ messages in my inboxes
[23:43:33] <lesterc> Is that a personal domain lewellyn?
[23:43:54] <eviljames> lewellyn: Your results are much better than mine.
[23:43:56] <lewellyn> lesterc: i host my personal and business domains with hotmail
[23:44:26] <oenone> http://rafb.net/p/wAtf2j52.html
[23:44:31] <lewellyn> another benefit is that i don't have to worry about setting up a webmail thing for my users :)
[23:44:39] <lesterc> in the new startup I work in (company is roughly 2 years old now) we get about 30k spam in the last 6months only.
[23:44:40] <oenone> anybody around who knows how to solve this?
[23:45:02] <oenone> actually, it doesn't reboot, but just stays frozen
[23:45:33] <lesterc> I'm sure the situation will only get worse as we hire more sales...
[23:45:37] <lewellyn> lesterc: i get nearly that per hour.
[23:45:46] <eviljames> oenone: Wow that sucks.
[23:45:50] <eviljames> oenone: That's from netboot?
[23:45:57] <oenone> eviljames: yes
[23:46:09] <lewellyn> lesterc: hint: don't let your email addresses sit on the internet for 10+ years ;)
[23:46:09] <lesterc> ask your staff to stop surfing p0rn at work. ;D
[23:46:31] *** mm55mm_ has left #opensolaris
[23:46:41] <eviljames> oenone: tbh, I can't help you.
[23:46:57] <lesterc> yeah - this is why everybody use a free webmail for mailing list these days.
[23:47:00] <lewellyn> also, i maintain email servers (among other things) for my clients. why the hell do i want to come home and do the same damn thing? :P
[23:47:02] *** telexicon has quit IRC
[23:47:21] <lesterc> lewellyn: true.
[23:47:57] <lewellyn> out of the available email hosts, microsoft brings the most to the table. and the price is right. and their support staff outright rocks.
[23:48:45] <lewellyn> i.e. i have some "interesting" SPF records which are totally legit. a quick back and forth and their overly-anal SPF checker was able to deal with them. less than a day.
[23:49:02] <lewellyn> well within the grace period they allow before complaining about the records :)
