[00:15:02] <MrStamp> where do the x server settings get saved? I don't see xorg.conf anywhere
[00:16:46] *** revlo has quit IRC
[00:16:49] <bda> /etc/X11/.xorg.conf? Or it's genreated on the fly?

[00:16:54] * bda doesn't remember.
[00:17:31] <nicoatsun> Xorg discovers everything on startup, unless xorg.conf is there
[00:17:41] <nicoatsun> and it does not write xorg.conf
[00:18:06] <nicoatsun> recently Xorg gained the ability to set only some things in xorg.conf, IIRC
[00:18:07] <MrStamp> In that case, does anyone know a way to turn the caps lock into a control key?
[00:18:13] <nicoatsun> but I don't recall the details
[00:18:18] <nicoatsun> xmodmap!
[00:18:20] *** dsch04 has joined #opensolaris
[00:18:21] <nicoatsun> well
[00:18:27] <dsch04> evening all
[00:18:33] <MrStamp> I can do it with setxkbmap but it doesn't remain after rebooting
[00:19:01] <nicoatsun> I'm thinking there should be a GNOME tool for this somewhere
[00:19:05] <dsch04> I'm having fun trying to get my opensolaris box to boot
[00:19:30] <MrStamp> the gconf-editor has the option when I ran it on Ubuntu but it's not there on my opensolaris box
[00:19:50] <nicoatsun> mrstamp: but I can't find on
[00:19:52] <nicoatsun> e
[00:19:55] <dsch04> I've disabled the graphic boot and booted with -v
[00:20:08] <dsch04> The last thing I see is:
[00:20:11] <MrStamp> I thought it might work to manually copy over the .gconf tree but it just deletes the files it doesn't like
[00:20:22] <dsch04> lx_systrace0 is /pseudo/lx_systrace@0
[00:20:31] <alanc> you can make an xorg.conf and set it there if you want
[00:20:45] <nicoatsun> gconf-editor has desktop->gnome->keybindings -- dunno if that'd be it
[00:20:48] <alanc> default xorg.conf should be recorded in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:20:59] <dsch04> MrStamp, what's your issue?
[00:21:30] <MrStamp> dsch04: I hate caps lock and I want my control key there
[00:21:46] <dsch04> Ah, I see
[00:21:51] <nicoatsun> dsch04: can you break into mdb?
[00:21:57] <nicoatsun> sadly, I've to go
[00:22:02] <dsch04> nicoatsun, dunno - how do I do that?

[00:24:04] <nicoatsun> the manpages are on docs.sun.com
[00:24:14] <nicoatsun> you seem to have some sort of network access :)
[00:24:23] <dsch04> Yeah - laptop

[00:24:57] <RandalSchwartz> learned about that in 1988
[00:25:21] <dsch04> You want me to let it run until it hangs, then break into debugger?

[00:26:05] <nicoatsun> ::continue
[00:26:11] <RandalSchwartz> sparc was modern back then
[00:26:27] <RandalSchwartz> we had sun3, sun386i, and sun4
[00:26:27] <nicoatsun> so is UltraSPARC...
[00:26:40] <dsch04> :c worked
[00:26:46] <RandalSchwartz> sun4 reserved for high performance apps
[00:27:15] <dsch04> OK, stopped at: lx_systrace0 is /pseudo/lx_systrace@0
[00:27:16] <nicoatsun> dsch04: kmdb/mdb is derived from adb; anything that starts with :: is new, otherwise it's all ADB syntax
[00:27:30] <nicoatsun> ("synatx" is generous to ADB though!)

[01:23:45] *** d6g is now known as d6g|away
[01:25:46] <bubbva> dsch04: I just came across this blog which may help...
[01:26:01] <bubbva> it's for diagnosing boot hang/panic
[01:27:10] <dsch04> thanks. reading...
[01:32:12] <darth4> say i created a zpool: zpool create MYSQLPOOL mirror c0t0d0 c0t1d0
[01:32:35] <darth4> if i wanted to create another pool, would i need another hard drive, or could i use c0t0d0
[01:32:44] <flyingparchment> why do you want another pool?
[01:33:08] <darth4> well im reading this mysql documentation with zfs and it says to use a seperate pool for log files, and a sepearate pool for data
[01:33:18] <flyingparchment> what it means is a separate disk
[01:33:24] <flyingparchment> so that writes to the log don't affect the data file
[01:33:28] <dsch04> bubbva, that article helps me display screenfuls of meaningless (to me) information! :)
[01:33:38] <bubbva> dsch04: :-)
[01:33:38] <darth4> so i need another hard drive just for logs?
[01:33:44] <flyingparchment> darth4: no, but it improves performance
[01:33:51] <flyingparchment> darth4: if you only have two disks, just use a different filesystem
[01:34:02] <jmcp_> darth4: what's the url you're reading?
[01:34:06] <flyingparchment> (since you want to set recordsize on the innodb data, but not the logs)
[01:34:18] <bubbva> dsch04: but that data may help someone help you who knows stuff about boot (which is not really me).
[01:34:42] <dsch04> I know - I guess I could always take a photo of the screen :)
[01:34:50] <jmcp_> darth4: who presented it?
[01:34:51] <bubbva> :-)
[01:34:52] <darth4> i have a 2 disk rpool, and starting off with a 2 disk zpool, expanding up to 12 tb or more

[01:35:25] <darth4> im not sure who it is exactly
[01:35:27] <bubbva> dsch04: I've seen boot hangs twice, personally. One was an out of sync boot-archive and the other was a dead harddrive.
[01:35:56] <dsch04> darth4, Martin Brown
[01:36:11] <dsch04> Well, this system was OK initiallyu
[01:36:35] <dsch04> It seesm to have got a little screwy since some recent updates - not sure whether it was snv 107/8/9 ?
[01:37:32] <dsch04> Heh, he says "zed ef es"
[01:37:48] <dsch04> I've kinda got used to saying "zee ef es"
[01:39:15] <jmcp_> dsch04: ah, so he's speaking English, rather than American :-)
[01:39:40] <dsch04> He has an east country accent, I think
[01:39:57] <gkl> I have a puzzle
[01:40:05] <gkl> maybe its answer is trivial, maybe not
[01:40:15] <gkl> in my hosts file, I have "192.168.2.99 black"
[01:40:22] <gkl> I can ssh to 192.168.2.99, but I cannot ssh to black
[01:40:25] <gkl> however, I can ping black
[01:40:49] <gkl> sshd is definitely running on black
[01:40:50] <dsch04> sshd not running on black, firewall blocking access to sshd on black
[01:41:01] <gkl> I disabled ipf and it's the same
[01:41:02] <flyingparchment> dsch04: read the question again :)
[01:41:04] <gkl> it also happens with NFS
[01:41:25] <gkl> I can mount if I specify 192.168.2.99:/black, but not black:/black
[01:41:43] <dsch04> I typed that before he said ssh was running!
[01:41:46] <gkl> I happened upon this crazy situation when I did an install and selected "non-networked computer" then decided to go ahead and network it
[01:41:50] <flyingparchment> gkl: egrep 'hosts|ipnodes' /etc/nsswitch.conf
[01:41:57] <flyingparchment> dsch04: he said he can ssh to the IP
[01:42:05] <dsch04> Ah
[01:42:05] <flyingparchment> gkl: also, tell us the error messages
[01:42:17] <gkl> it just hangs

[01:47:10] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: sun uses the same controller in their own systems

[01:47:18] <teknoprep> oh cool
[01:47:22] <dsch04> cheap and fast

[01:47:38] <flyingparchment> of course, they ditched it in the thor
[01:47:50] <flyingparchment> but most people who ask for PCI SATA cards don't like being told to buy SAS cards ;)
[01:47:51] <gkl> hrm, 'host black' reveals this: black has address 67.63.55.3
[01:48:01] <gkl> 67.63.55.3 is definitely not my ip address
[01:48:03] <gkl> that's probably why
[01:48:04] <flyingparchment> gkl: host ignores files, so that's not unexpected
[01:48:14] <gkl> oh

[01:53:01] <flyingparchment> dsch04: you can see the kernel message buffer. ::dmesg or something
[01:53:58] <jamesd_> teknoprep: for pure storage one built with 1.5TB drives probably hold more and is about the same price and pays for any extra in power savings
[01:54:25] <flyingparchment> i thought the most cost effective ($/GB) was 500GB at the moment
[01:54:39] <teknoprep> jamesd_, i need the IOPS of many drives
[01:54:44] <jamesd_> i see 1TB drives for $80 currently
[01:54:46] <jmcp_> gkl: is dns/client running?
[01:55:04] <jamesd_> teknoprep: then get a fast flash drive.. much more cost effective.
[01:55:06] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, i get HP refurb 250GB HDD for $25/drive
[01:55:10] <gkl> client is running, server is not

[01:58:22] <jamesd_> writes are slow on the raidz2 storage... that is where the flash makes a big impact
[01:58:34] <teknoprep> writes are not slow on raidz2

[01:58:49] <teknoprep> writes are slow on RAID 5 and 6
[01:58:57] <teknoprep> writes are very fast on RAIDz2
[01:59:01] <jamesd_> compared to a mirrored pool it is...
[01:59:15] <teknoprep> i did some benchmarks and RAID10 vs RAIDz2 is the same
[01:59:19] <teknoprep> the IOPS were the same too
[01:59:45] <teknoprep> and that was over a 10 HDD raidz2 vs 10 HDD RAID10 both using the same system
[01:59:51] <teknoprep> both using software zfs raid configs
[02:00:53] <teknoprep> anyway.. i was under the impression the whole idea behind RAIDz was to fix RAID5 issues with speed
[02:01:13] <teknoprep> WAFL / OnTap does pretty much the same thing... and its VERY fast from NetApp
[02:01:22] <flyingparchment> no
[02:01:29] <teknoprep> no what?
[02:01:30] <flyingparchment> it fixes the raid5 write hole, which prevents data loss, but doesn't affect speed
[02:01:31] <RandalSchwartz> raidz1 means i could lose 1 drive and still be ok?
[02:01:38] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: correct
[02:01:44] <RandalSchwartz> or does that require mirror?
[02:01:48] <jamesd_> yes raidz fixes some of the issues with raid5/6, but there are still speed penalities
[02:01:51] <teknoprep> RandalSchwartz, you are fine
[02:01:52] <jamesd_> RandalSchwartz: yes.
[02:01:58] <teknoprep> RandalSchwartz, one hard dirve dies.. you still have data
[02:02:07] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: mirror is for two disks, raidz is for 3 or more
[02:02:08] <RandalSchwartz> so why have mirror instead of raidz?
[02:02:15] <RandalSchwartz> oh
[02:02:20] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: if have >2 disks, you do a mirror+stripe, not a mirror
[02:02:30] <flyingparchment> that mirrors over each pair of disks, then stripes over those mirrors
[02:02:42] <RandalSchwartz> with just 2, i cant do raidz?
[02:02:48] <flyingparchment> it's slightly more reliable than raidz, because in theory, you can lose up to 50% of disks without data loss
[02:02:54] <flyingparchment> (but the more disks you lose, the more likely data loss is)
[02:03:00] <jamesd_> mirror is faster for a mixed workload, raidz is faster for streaming data, and writes can be a bit slower in many workloads
[02:03:02] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, but not really.. if you loose the wrong 2 disks its gone
[02:03:07] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: with 2 disks, there is absolutely no reason to use raidz. so, it's impossible
[02:03:09] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, so its more of a luck base
[02:03:16] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: right, i didn't mean you'd actually rely on it
[02:03:25] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: but you often hear stories of how 3 disks in a raid failed all at once..
[02:03:41] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, i have heard of it.. but its never happened to me
[02:03:42] *** ikarius has quit IRC
[02:03:47] <RandalSchwartz> i like mirror, but dislike the physical equal size partioning
[02:03:56] <RandalSchwartz> that feels odd given pools
[02:03:57] * dsch04 has had three disks fail in a raidz2
[02:03:59] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: that is a requirement of raidz as well
[02:04:30] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: if you have a 4GB disk and a 9GB disk, you can't store 9GB of data in a mirror -- where will the data go that doesn't fit on the 4GB disk?
[02:04:36] *** bengtf has joined #opensolaris
[02:04:40] *** infomomo has joined #opensolaris
[02:04:53] <teknoprep> you can only mirror your largest partition
[02:04:54] *** infomomo has quit IRC
[02:05:03] <RandalSchwartz> smallest
[02:05:07] <teknoprep> yeah
[02:05:09] <teknoprep> lol
[02:05:30] <jamesd_> RandalSchwartz: you could use raid0 plus enable copies=X for important data in those cases, not perfect but better than nothing
[02:05:34] <teknoprep> i dunno tho.. i have found that using lzjb compression with RAIDz2 is extremly fast
[02:05:54] <teknoprep> and with the way ZFS works... i see no increase in speed with RAID-10 over RAIDz2
[02:05:54] <RandalSchwartz> well if i have 1 + 7g physical, i can't mirror them to 4 + 4 physical
[02:06:06] <RandalSchwartz> thats the odd thing
[02:06:09] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: the iops of a raidz stripe is limited to a single disk, because it has to send every write to every disk. (you can mitigate that by using several stripes, which is a good idea anyway, of course)
[02:06:10] <teknoprep> could someone show me some reports? if it is faster
[02:06:16] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: uhhh
[02:06:22] <RandalSchwartz> for the most part zfs lets me ignore phys
[02:06:37] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: if you put 3GB of data on the 7GB disk, then you mirror it onto the *same* disk, what happens when that disk fails?
[02:06:41] <jamesd_> teknoprep: most likely you are seeing zfs' readahead and caching ability rather than actual disk performance in your tests.
[02:07:00] <RandalSchwartz> i'm talking about 4 disks
[02:07:07] <RandalSchwartz> nothing same
[02:07:08] *** spiki has quit IRC
[02:07:15] <teknoprep> well i will have a 14HDD raid10
[02:07:18] <teknoprep> i will test it out
[02:07:35] <flyingparchment> RandalSchwartz: you said two disks, 1GB and 7GB, no?
[02:07:42] <RandalSchwartz> yes
[02:07:49] <RandalSchwartz> and two more 4 + 4
[02:08:11] <dsch04> Well, I think I'll leave my system "bootiing" overnight to see if it's just some issue that takes a long time to resolve
[02:08:14] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, why would every right have to be sent to every disk in a raidz ?
[02:08:18] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, that makes no sense
[02:08:31] <teknoprep> flyingparchment, s/right/write
[02:08:42] <dsch04> teknoprep, do you understand how raid works?
[02:08:48] <teknoprep> dsch04, yes
[02:09:01] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: because that's how it worked.. each write creates a new stripe, which is written across every disk (N-1 blocks + 1 parity block)
[02:09:12] <jamesd_> every write has to be sent to at least 2 disks.. one disk data one for parity, but most large writes are sent to all disks.
[02:09:18] <dsch04> So you must know that with raid5/raidz, all disks must be involved
[02:09:21] <gkl> (re: my problem) apparently nscd can goof up hostnames... does anyone know anything about that?
[02:09:36] *** yarihm has joined #opensolaris
[02:10:12] <dsch04> teknoprep, What part of that makes no sense?
[02:10:37] <teknoprep> the block i thought was striped across all disks(-1) .. the one being the parity disk for that block write
[02:10:43] <ranks> gkl: svcadm disable name-service-cache
[02:10:49] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: yes.. and to stripe it across all disks, it has to write to all disks
[02:10:50] *** fr4g-home has quit IRC
[02:10:53] <ranks> gkl: nscd can cache a long time
[02:11:01] <teknoprep> holy shit that sucks
[02:11:02] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: therefore every write requires an io to every disk. therefore your iops is limited to the iops of a single drive
[02:11:14] <teknoprep> now i get it
[02:11:18] <teknoprep> holy shit that does suck
[02:11:22] *** fr4g-home has joined #opensolaris
[02:11:27] <flyingparchment> this is why *all* hardware raid5 arrays use a battery
[02:11:46] <flyingparchment> the nvram brings performance back to a reasonable level (as well as avoiding the write hole to some extent)
[02:11:46] <teknoprep> so how does raid10 defeat this ?
[02:11:55] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: with raid10, each write only goes to 2 disks
[02:12:01] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: so you can send other writes to the other disks at the same time
[02:12:08] <jamesd_> flyingparchment: a write of 512byes to a raidz pool only has to write to 2x disks, its one of raidz improvements, but most writes are larger.
[02:12:24] <teknoprep> hmm
[02:12:40] <flyingparchment> btw, you can do the same as the hardware nvram by adding some nvram to your zfs pool, and using a separate zil
[02:12:45] <teknoprep> so you can dump multiple blocks to multiple stipes in a raid 10 at the same time ?
[02:12:55] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: yes
[02:12:58] <teknoprep> oh wow
[02:13:07] <teknoprep> i don't know why i never kne wthat before
[02:13:12] *** gehmehgeh has quit IRC
[02:13:25] <teknoprep> but i was always a fan of RAID-10 until i got into WAFL on the ontap systems
[02:13:33] <flyingparchment> netapp = nvram = runs fast
[02:13:33] <teknoprep> which used to use raid-4 and now RAID-6
[02:14:08] <flyingparchment> zfs is better than software raid5 since it can enable the disk write cache, and only fsync when necessary
[02:14:18] <jamesd_> and zfs + logging device equals incredibly fast writes.. 1000's of IOPS per second...
[02:14:29] <teknoprep> logging device /
[02:14:30] <teknoprep> ?
[02:14:46] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: zfs can put the "journal" (zil, zfs intent log) on a separate device
[02:14:49] <jamesd_> loging device, either a write tuned flash drive.. or read tuned flash drive.
[02:14:59] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: if that separate device is an nvram, writes to it are very fast
[02:15:13] <flyingparchment> which means your fsync() return immediately, and the data is written to the disks later -> iops goes up
[02:15:21] *** [JT] has joined #opensolaris
[02:15:31] <teknoprep> so how would i set something like that up?
[02:15:31] <flyingparchment> (flash helps too, but it's not as fast as nvram... unless it's one of the ones with an nvram battery builtin)
[02:15:34] <teknoprep> on my own box ?
[02:15:34] <jbk> though with ssd, size(zil) >>>> size(nvram)
[02:15:44] <jbk> very easy to overrun nvram
[02:16:22] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: you can buy cards with SDRAM slots, a battery and an SATA connector. just connect it to your SATA card and it appears as a disk
[02:16:31] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: then tell zfs to put the zil on that when creating the pool
[02:16:47] <teknoprep> could you point me to something that i would buy.. i am going to bjuy it and play around
[02:17:03] <jamesd_> and in cases of bad disasters most nvrams are only on powerfor 3 days... then the data is gone and your filesystem is a nightmare.. happened in 9/11 NYC was without power for a week.. major pain
[02:17:35] <jamesd_> oops
[02:17:45] <gkl> no dice on disabled nscd with regards to my mysterious problem
[02:18:14] <flyingparchment> that looks like SATA1, though.. an SATA II one would probably be better
[02:18:43] <teknoprep> hmm
[02:18:49] <teknoprep> that wil show up as a disk ?
[02:18:51] <teknoprep> that is kick ass
[02:18:52] <flyingparchment> yes
[02:19:00] <flyingparchment> you can get ones that need special drivers and use a PCI slot
[02:19:01] <jamesd_> teknoprep: also while testing zfs checkout fsstab zfs to see how the filesystems are performing
[02:19:07] <flyingparchment> which are probably faster, but also more of a pain to manage
[02:20:04] <ranks> gkl: is /etc/hosts still a symlink to /etc/inet/hosts ?
[02:20:41] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: also, if you need read iops, consider buying an SSD or two and putting the read cache (l2arc) on them
[02:20:52] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: it augments the RAM cache with the ssds, which are much faster at seeking than disks

[02:48:03] <teknoprep> putting the ZIL on a ramdisk speeds things up alot ?
[02:48:48] <flyingparchment> depends on the workload
[02:49:04] <flyingparchment> for streaming writes, it won't help much. for iops-sensitive workloads, it makes a massive difference
[02:49:25] <teknoprep> ahh so for vmware it would be great

[03:33:03] <teknoprep> well i have 2 more comming
[03:33:14] <Niosop> lol, nice
[03:33:48] *** niq has joined #opensolaris
[03:35:39] <Niosop> hmm, where would 64bit python look for 64 bit libs?
[03:35:46] <flyingparchment> /lib/64, /usr/lib/64
[03:36:03] <flyingparchment> (which is a symlink to either amd64/ or sparcv9/)
[03:36:20] <flyingparchment> or you mean libraries as in python extension (shared objects)?
[03:36:25] <teknoprep> so raid10 is better than raid0+1
[03:36:32] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: yes. 0+1 is less reliable
[03:37:12] <Niosop> yes. Trying to get InformixDB python lib to work. Finally got it to build/install (informix only gives 64 bit version of the libs) but now it's dying during import because it can't find a library.
[03:37:22] <teknoprep> what does zpool use when setting up zfs create blah mirror
[03:37:23] <teknoprep> drive1 drive2 mirror drive3 drive4 mirror dirve5 driver6
[03:37:33] <flyingparchment> Niosop: which library, and where is it?
[03:37:39] <flyingparchment> teknoprep: 10
[03:37:42] <teknoprep> ty
[03:38:13] <Niosop> flyingparchment: libifasf.so, it's in /opt/IBM/informix/lib/esql/libifsql.so but I've symlinked it pretty much everywhere in an attempt to get it found. Last place to try is /usr/lib/64
[03:38:22] <teknoprep> are reads faster on RAID10 than RAID5? since the blocks are only on 2 HDD in RAID10
[03:38:31] <flyingparchment> Niosop: link the thing that's trying to find it with -R/opt/IBM/informix/lib/esql
[03:38:36] <flyingparchment> that will hardcode the library path
[03:39:03] <Niosop> flyingparchment: ahh, cool, will try that
[03:39:28] <flyingparchment> if it's a python extension, that probably means you need to link the extension's .so like that
[03:40:22] <flyingparchment> only providing 64-bit libraries is pretty bizarre, btw
[03:40:56] <Niosop> hmm, yeah, lemme look harder, maybe I just missed them. Cause really don't want to use 64 bit because I don't think mod_python is gonna be happy.
[03:41:12] <Niosop> hmm, didn't fail on -R argument but still the same error.
[03:41:17] <Niosop> lemme search for 32 bit
[03:41:21] <flyingparchment> what's the exact error?
[03:42:05] <Niosop> ImportError: ld.so.1: python: fatal: libifasf.so: open failed: No such file or directory
[03:42:30] <Niosop> although, now that I look at it it's looking in /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/informixdb.py instead of the 64bit directory...

[03:44:25] <Niosop> hmm, guess that's how it likes to roll.
[03:44:58] <jmcp_> Niosop: you can set LD_DEBUG=files in your env before running the python script, that'll produce *heaps* of output and let you figure out where it's looking for libs
[03:45:13] <Niosop> excellent, that's what I was looking for.

[03:50:27] <Topdeck> Can you run strace to see where it's looking?
[03:50:40] <Niosop> nice, no more errors on import :) No idea if it can connect, but it's better than before. Still don't think I'm going to be able to use it with mod_python though. Guess I can use pyro and have a
[03:50:45] *** bot4k has joined #opensolaris
[03:50:58] <flyingparchment> mod_python would require 64-bit apache and everything else
[03:51:02] <Niosop> I just symlinked it to /usr/lib/64, that seems to have fixed it
[03:51:04] <flyingparchment> (this is why not providing 32-bit libs sucks)
[03:51:13] <Niosop> yeah, everything about informix sucks
[03:51:30] <jmcp_> Topdeck: as far as I'm aware we don't have strace on OpenSolaris
[03:51:30] <Niosop> it's ok, I can probably build a 64 bit pyro and just have it proxy db requests for me
[03:51:37] <jmcp_> Topdeck: truss, or dtruss
[03:52:30] <Niosop> hmm
[03:52:51] <Niosop> evidently there's an strace now

[04:02:44] *** hajma__ has quit IRC
[04:04:23] *** zen_balrog has joined #opensolaris
[04:07:16] <_Lewellyn> but what about people with PS2? don't the ps/2 ports live under /is?
[04:07:18] <_Lewellyn> isa even
[04:07:37] <flyingparchment> i can only assume they didn't actually remove ISA support
[04:07:52] <flyingparchment> just changed how the device nodes work.. (since a _lot_ of x86 stuff is still connected via isa)
[04:10:06] <_Lewellyn> hm... do that eliminates running on solaris 8 (and maybe 9) era x86 machines
[04:10:17] *** cemerick has joined #opensolaris
[04:10:17] <flyingparchment> no, like i said, it doesn't remove ISA support
[04:10:23] <flyingparchment> it just restructures how the OS handles ISA devices
[04:11:19] <_Lewellyn> by placing them under the pci bus
[04:11:35] <_Lewellyn> which wouldn't work in a machine without a pci bus, correct?
[04:11:49] <flyingparchment> only if the isa bus is attached to the PCI bus
[04:12:09] <flyingparchment> btw, how many non-PCI systems do you have with 768MB RAM?
[04:12:15] <_Lewellyn> i don't see that as being specifically the case
[04:12:15] *** lathiat_ has left #opensolaris
[04:12:20] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: 1 :)
[04:12:24] <_Lewellyn> it runs dos
[04:12:57] *** wizeman has joined #opensolaris
[04:13:06] <_Lewellyn> the 768mb is mostly for thrills during POST
[04:13:18] <_Lewellyn> since i never use more than about 256mb
[04:13:21] *** wizeman_ has quit IRC
[04:20:06] <alanc> I think the official minimum CPU is around a Pentium I @ 120Mhz, which would still be new enough to have PCI bus
[04:21:32] *** cemerick has quit IRC
[04:28:27] <_Lewellyn> alanc: but not guaranteed to have a pci bus :)
[04:28:40] <_Lewellyn> i have a k6-2/333 on an isa-only board
[04:29:18] <_Lewellyn> not that i ever plan on installing opensolaris on that thing, but yeah. :P
[04:29:54] <alanc> I think Xorg dropped ISA bus video card support in 1.5 or 1.6, so you'd be without graphics if you did
[04:35:08] <_Lewellyn> so not even with vesa if i were to try it? :)
[04:35:15] *** cemerick has joined #opensolaris
[04:35:27] <flyingparchment> on something that old, you'd probably be running OpenServer anyway...
[04:35:31] *** tek-ops_ has joined #opensolaris
[04:35:32] <alanc> dunno if vesa depends on bus support or not
[04:35:35] <tek-ops_> hello all
[04:35:36] <flyingparchment> that OS was designed for crappy x86 systems
[04:35:44] <nachox> xenix
[04:35:49] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: dos :)
[04:35:53] <flyingparchment> nachox: where do you think openserver comes from? ;)
[04:36:26] <_Lewellyn> nachox: why do you think microsoft's SFU is derived from OpenServer? ;)
[04:36:33] <nachox> flyingparchment, i really had no idea
[04:36:34] *** Niosop has left #opensolaris
[04:36:39] <tek-ops_> hey, is there no more opensolaris swag?
[04:36:43] <tek-ops_> all links seemed to be dead
[04:36:56] <flyingparchment> nachox: SCO acquired Xenix, and openserver is basically "xenix v2"
[04:37:11] <nachox> flyingparchment, when i think of sco's unix, all that comes into my mind is old print servers
[04:37:14] <_Lewellyn> and unixware is "we hated xenix v1"
[04:37:37] <flyingparchment> AIUI, unixware is actually fairly decent - perhaps because it didn't come from SCO originally ;)
[04:38:32] <nachox> it could run in oh, like 2 processors with a special kernel!
[04:38:55] <_Lewellyn> heh. unixware was a terrible thing to give openserver users though :)
[04:41:25] <flyingparchment> (i know someone who lovingly calls it 'opensewer')
[04:41:55] <nachox> they had virtual consoles like linux does
[04:44:22] <nachox> _Lewellyn, they droped the SFU name in server 2008 right?
[04:45:25] <flyingparchment> yes, it's SUA now, also in vista
[04:45:39] <flyingparchment> and they dropped it from all versions of vista except enterprise and ultimate, which is really lame.
[04:47:55] <_Lewellyn> yup. which is why i've only had limited exposure to sua
[04:48:13] <_Lewellyn> i heard that it's now based on unixware, in alignment with sco's support policies
[04:49:36] <nachox> SUA? what does it stand for?
[04:49:44] <flyingparchment> subsystem for unix applications
[04:50:00] <flyingparchment> it's still 'interix 3.5' internally
[04:50:09] <flyingparchment> (XP/server 2003 was 3.0)

[10:34:01] <lblume> How to prevent vncserver to raise the number of bpp sent over the wire automatically? I keep setting it to 2 (64 colours) client-side, but after a while, it sets it back to 8.
[10:34:44] <codestr0m> lblume: Hej
[10:35:22] *** KOHJU is now known as kohju
[10:35:24] <_Lewellyn> lblume: i've never seen this behavior. then again, i only ever run at 8 :)
[10:35:31] <lblume> Hi codestr0m
[10:36:52] <lblume> I want 24 bit available for the X server, because I run GNOME inside it, it sucks at 8 and it doesn't work at 16 (well, Java doesn't to be precise).
[10:37:14] <_Lewellyn> then why are you running at 2?
[10:38:05] <lblume> Only the VNC client is at 6 bpp (sorry, not 2, mistake)
[10:38:46] <lblume> It's visually much better to have GNOME run in 24 and send 6 , than run it at 8 and send all 8 :-)
[10:39:24] <_Lewellyn> but uses more ram :)
[10:39:34] <_Lewellyn> wait. 6bpp? i bet that's the reason :)
[10:39:39] <lblume> Who cares?
[10:40:01] <_Lewellyn> well, my vnc server box has limited ram, so i care. :)
[10:40:32] <lblume> Hmm, I'm sure I've got a few RMB I could use to buy you a few more GB's, let me see...
[10:41:04] <lblume> But why 6 bpp would be the reason? It works well, just that after a while, it gets back to 24 (so, much slower)
[10:41:08] <_Lewellyn> for an ultra 5 ;)
[10:41:27] <_Lewellyn> well, i'm not sure. i'm looking into non-standard bit depths + vnc right now
[10:41:31] <_Lewellyn> which viewer do you use, btw?
[10:42:00] <lblume> People who use SPARC workstations for anything else than doorstops don't deserver a single fen :-P
[10:42:16] <lblume> It's RealVNC standalone viewer.
[10:42:26] <_Lewellyn> heh. it's obsolete, but not useless :)
[10:42:47] <lblume> I never looked for anything else, actually, it worked.
[10:42:52] <_Lewellyn> i suppose i could move vnc over to a v100, but that seems wrong... at least the ultra 5 has a framebuffer ;)
[10:43:08] <_Lewellyn> yeah. the realvnc viewer works best with the realvnc server. :)
[10:43:17] <_Lewellyn> and i think realvnc is all you have for servers for solaris
[10:43:36] <lblume> Nah, I used to have tightvnc from Blastwave.
[10:43:37] <_Lewellyn> not that i've investigated replacements
[10:43:54] <lblume> It had a lesser protocol, but not the bpp issue.
[10:43:54] <_Lewellyn> the tightvnc server runs on solaris? weird.
[10:44:23] <_Lewellyn> i'm rereading the protocol spec atm
[10:45:12] <lblume> Why weird? It's only a recompilation matter? Ok, a most boring one, I tried once or twice, and gave up on the XFree86 3.3 part.
[10:45:58] *** cypromis has quit IRC
[10:46:18] <_Lewellyn> sure nuff it's the 6 bits per pixel
[10:46:35] <_Lewellyn> "Currently bits-per-pixel must be 8, 16 or 32C"BBless than 8-bit pixels are not yet
[10:46:38] <_Lewellyn> supported."
[10:46:42] <lblume> But why would it change automatically?
[10:46:44] <_Lewellyn> from the RFB 3.8 spec
[10:47:18] <_Lewellyn> probably because it's unsupported and the behavior is then undefined? :)
[10:47:31] <trochej> Aaah
[10:47:32] <lblume> Hmmm, I'm not talking about the X server part, right? It's not what's shown by xdpyinfo, but what's in the vnc *client* options (Full, medium, low, very low)
[10:47:39] *** dsch04_ is now known as dsch04
[10:47:44] <dsch04> Morning all
[10:48:00] <lblume> I've set Low, and would like it to stay that way.
[10:48:12] <_Lewellyn> i'm talking about the protocol. it isn't meant to go < 8 bpp.
[10:48:23] <_Lewellyn> low should be 8bpp

[10:49:09] <_Lewellyn> dsch04: woo! :D
[10:49:11] <lblume> Yes, I'm using 3.8.
[10:49:37] <TT> cani replace disks when my pool is a stripe of some disks? or is this only possible with raidz1 and mirrors?
[10:49:50] <dsch04> Took about 90 mins to boot :$
[10:50:08] <_Lewellyn> lblume: then there may be a higher rfb version that i've not yet seen :)
[10:50:14] <_Lewellyn> dsch04: cool! :D
[10:50:15] <tsoome> TT you have broken disk?
[10:50:34] <TT> not now i want only to inform
[10:50:37] <_Lewellyn> lblume: oh, btw. do you use irssi at all?
[10:51:03] <dsch04> I think I may revert to Ubuntu for now
[10:51:08] <tsoome> if you have raid 0 and broken disk, you will loose your data related to disk
[10:51:15] <lblume> irssi? The name sounds vaguely familiar, but I can't place it.
[10:51:20] <_Lewellyn> dsch04: what took 90 mins to boot?
[10:51:20] <sickness> irssi++

[10:53:05] <_Lewellyn> sickness: irssi starts sucking at around 30 active channels
[10:53:06] <lblume> I've seen a hang issue in OpenOffice 3 when IIIM has been modified at least once before starting it, it can be worked around by starting it in the C locale, have you tried that?
[10:53:14] <_Lewellyn> you start running out of keybindings to hijack :P
[10:53:15] <tsoome> sickness: but it really depends on situation;)
[10:53:18] <dsch04> I don't recall, but I've had the issue for a while now
[10:53:27] <_Lewellyn> lblume: i'm sshed in from windows atm :)
[10:53:39] <_Lewellyn> lblume: but i can duplicate it from any ssh client and qq's ime
[10:53:56] <_Lewellyn> dsch04: :(
[10:54:25] <_Lewellyn> lblume: i should probably activate a different ime, but i suspect that won't change anything
[10:54:58] <dsch04> I thought I'd give it a whirl, but too many deficiencies to use as my main machine
[10:55:04] <sickness> _Lewellyn: omg, I don't have that much channels =)
[10:55:35] <lblume> Ah, so it's really the input of non-ASCII that it doesn't swallow, not the IME per se. Is it UTF-8?
[10:55:38] <_Lewellyn> sickness: i just quit about 30 channels so my act bar was no longer wider than my screen :P
[10:55:46] *** axisys has quit IRC
[10:55:57] <sickness> lblume: the problem is IIIM itself >:)
[10:55:57] <lblume> Want me to send some Chinese to your terminal? :-)
[10:56:03] <_Lewellyn> lblume: i think it's utf-8 it chokes on. i did a test in another screen, pasting from my browser
[10:56:18] <_Lewellyn> sickness: no iiim on windows. i'm using qq's ime :)
[10:56:29] <_Lewellyn> and it doesn't matter which ssh client
[10:56:33] * _Lewellyn tries a test without screen
[10:56:46] <lblume> Hmmmm, but your IIIM is Windows' or Solaris'? I'm using a VNC session, so my Pidgin uses Solaris', not Windows', for example.
[10:57:14] <_Lewellyn> ssh doesn't have an input editor ;)
[10:57:15] <sickness> _Lewellyn: omg, I know qq, a chinese coworker of mine used to use that, it's even worse than msn, afaik :P
[10:57:40] <_Lewellyn> the ime isn't directly related to the im client :)
[10:57:45] <lblume> And QQ is all I have on my Nokia, so I'll have to learn to use it :-)
[10:58:56] <lblume> I don't know what kind of IIIM QQ has. I'm on Windows, with its own IME thing activated (Chinese/French/English).
[10:59:26] <lblume> I guess you checked all your ssh client config to get the correct locale on cnonecting?
[11:00:29] <sickness> all the world should be ascii 7bit and nothing more, we will spare us all this mess >:P
[11:00:34] <sickness> ghgh
[11:00:37] <sickness> s/will/would/
[11:01:19] <_Lewellyn> lblume: yes. and it's not the ime. qq just auto-updated. and now it spews what appears to be jibberish at me when i type in securecrt :)

[11:04:54] <lblume> Why don't you use Windows IME?
[11:05:11] *** dunc_ has quit IRC
[11:05:30] <_Lewellyn> because its pinyin isn't what i've learnt, and it's ugly? :)
[11:05:51] <_Lewellyn> qq pinyin also "learns" pretty well
[11:05:52] <lblume> AFAIK, QQ has some compatibility issues because it doesn't always use UTF, but rather GB18030 or others.
[11:06:29] <_Lewellyn> yeah. that seems to be what it's doing now in securecrt. which is preferable to hanging my irssi under screen when i accidentally hit alt-shift
[11:07:50] <codestr0m> QQ is 99% only used by chinese... (and for a while it caused problems with msn and it being open at the same time)
[11:08:06] <lblume> Well, for its flaw, Dinwsows IME is also rather compatible with Solaris' :-) I haven't tried much the non-pinyin based versions to compare them, though.
[11:08:14] <_Lewellyn> codestr0m: that's who i communicate with using qq, yes :) and it's far more compatible now.
[11:08:41] <codestr0m> _Lewellyn: yeah. I bitched in #pidgin a few times to have them test more before cutting a release with QQ all borked

[11:11:22] <_Lewellyn> yup.

[11:16:10] <_Lewellyn> lblume: last i played with it, its qq support blew
[11:16:30] <_Lewellyn> since a lot of my QQing is in groups, and its group support was about non-existent, it was useless
[11:16:43] <_Lewellyn> and i do voice/video chat with qq, too. :P

[11:19:32] <lblume> Oh, on S10, not OS.com.
[11:20:00] <_Lewellyn> i looked at building it once on solaris 10 and qq had a dependency i didn't have installed :P
[11:21:55] <lblume> Nah, it builds fine without any extra dependency.
[11:22:02] <lblume> At least for most protocols.
[11:22:23] <_Lewellyn> i'll take a look at it after i can get 110 up
[11:22:47] <lblume> Sure, I can send you my ./configure options if you want.
[11:23:24] <_Lewellyn> well, they won't do me much good atm :(

[11:28:01] <_Lewellyn> what's the best way to try to do data recovery on my zfs partition?
[11:28:22] <_Lewellyn> i have 2 directories i care about, only :P
[11:28:43] <lblume> tar
[11:28:46] <lblume> :-P
[11:28:56] <lblume> I've got to go anyway, good luck!

[11:43:46] <_Lewellyn> yay. burning 110. finally. it had better not fail because i think i'm out of dvd blanks now :(
[11:45:18] <seanmcg> network boot instead of burning dvds..
[11:45:36] <_Lewellyn> not an option with this scenario
[11:45:48] <_Lewellyn> i need to try to recover some data from my damaged zfs partition
[11:46:08] <_Lewellyn> unless there's a way to netboot to a shell that i'm unfamiliar with
[11:46:50] <_Lewellyn> (easily)
[11:46:52] <seanmcg> netboot single usermode..
[11:47:44] <_Lewellyn> well, too late for that now. and i've not looked into how to netboot opensolaris/sxce yet
[11:47:56] <_Lewellyn> i heard that it's changed
[11:48:19] <_Lewellyn> besides, it's good to keep an install disc around. i gave out my last one to someone
[11:48:34] <seanmcg> yes, for opensolaris net boot has changed.
[11:48:54] <seanmcg> or use usb to boot from.
[11:49:10] <_Lewellyn> that'd involve having a spare usb disk of sufficient capacity
[11:49:43] <seanmcg> 15 euro gets a 4GB one, easily holds opensolaris.
[11:49:49] <seanmcg> :)
[11:49:51] <_Lewellyn> don't have one handy
[11:49:56] <_Lewellyn> and this burn failed. joy.
[11:50:02] <_Lewellyn> so. can i netboot off wifi? ;)
[11:50:28] <seanmcg> um.. probably not. wifi doesn't support PXE boot :}
[11:50:40] <_Lewellyn> well then, it's not an option atm, either then :)
[11:50:50] <seanmcg> how close is your nearest shop that sells a usb stick ?
[11:50:52] <_Lewellyn> guess i get to scrounge more for a blank dvd
[11:50:55] <_Lewellyn> it's 4am
[11:51:03] <_Lewellyn> so probably about 10-15 miles
[11:51:22] <seanmcg> sleep on it.
[11:51:38] <_Lewellyn> and i've been in bed sick for the past week which is why i don't have a new spindles of dvds yet :P
[11:51:56] <seanmcg> more reason for sleep
[11:52:18] <_Lewellyn> i sleep even more randomly atm. i was hoping reinstalling would give me more time to sleep :)
[11:53:51] <seanmcg> well, now you're no option but to sleep :)
[11:54:11] <_Lewellyn> meh. i'll scrounge for another blank. there's bound to be one around here *somewhere* :P
[11:54:36] <seanmcg> sure, another week sick in bed is just what you want :)

[14:13:45] *** sophokles has quit IRC
[14:13:54] <andy_js> is this a known issue?
[14:14:01] <_Lewellyn> who's right? ;)
[14:14:14] <_Lewellyn> and what does windows report?
[14:14:59] <andy_js> _Lewellyn: you asking me? I don't have a copy of windows to try. Who needs it?
[14:15:07] <_Lewellyn> yes, i'm asking you.
[14:15:25] <_Lewellyn> in this case, it would be edifying to see what windows or dos has to say about the file
[14:15:53] <andy_js> A little bit of context:
[14:16:03] <_Lewellyn> always helpful
[14:16:05] <andy_js> I'm creating APT repo for opensolaris
[14:16:34] <andy_js> the server is running linux and reports different file sizes than reported in the package index

[14:17:31] <tsoome> and thats surprise?

[14:17:58] *** carl- has quit IRC
[14:18:16] <andy_js> well I've tried two different linux boxes, and they report the same
[14:18:23] *** carl- has joined #opensolaris

[14:18:44] <andy_js> I'd love to be able to put solaris on the server, but unfortunatly I cant
[14:19:05] <_Lewellyn> again, if linux reports the wrong size, how is solaris at fault?>
[14:19:23] <Stric> andy_js: what kind of "report size" ? the byte count according to 'ls -l', disk usage, etc?
[14:19:43] <Stric> file size according to 'du' is quite probable that it will differ
[14:20:06] <_Lewellyn> almost expected, in fact
[14:20:26] <_Lewellyn> especially if it's a different filesystem type
[14:20:34] *** cypromis has quit IRC

[14:21:18] <tsoome> its an linux
[14:21:33] <Stric> andy_js: because you're not checking the same file contents

[14:21:55] <_Lewellyn> andy_js: is this the same exact filesystem on both operating systems?
[14:22:02] <andy_js> not afaik
[14:22:05] <Stric> with different file size and different contents, I would say you're not using the same file ;)
[14:22:15] <_Lewellyn> then how did you get the data transferred?

[14:24:19] <Stric> then something else trashed the file, try again

[14:40:44] <bda> AMD CPU names have nothing to do with their clock speed.
[14:40:57] <bda> Haven't for years and years.
[14:41:02] <nachox> Athlon 64 3000+ 2000 MHz
[14:41:06] <_Lewellyn> kstat -m cpu_info -i 0 -s supported_frequencies_Hz
[14:41:08] <nachox> from the wikipedia
[14:41:11] *** calumb has joined #opensolaris
[14:41:33] <_Lewellyn> what's the last line of that?
[14:43:09] <Okona> supported_frequencies_Hz 1300009693
[14:43:50] <Okona> bda, that is clear, but 1300 seems to low for Athlon XP 3000+ (which is 2100Hz according to Wikipedia)
[14:44:21] <bda> Seems more like your BIOS may be at fault than the OS.
[14:44:25] <nachox> Okona, what does psrinfo -vp return btw?
[14:44:44] <nachox> the cpu model i mean
[14:44:59] <Okona> AuthenticAMD 6A0 family 6 model 10 step 0 clock 1300 MHz
[14:46:34] <Okona> perhaps i shall revisit the bios. But the boot up sceen shows 2100 mhz IIRC
[14:47:51] <Okona> i removed the graphics card from this system a long time ago (-:
[14:48:13] <Okona> and the bios does not support serial usage...

[17:31:02] <mmu_man> one of the strenghts in OSS is it's cross-platform, meaning more ppl use it = more ppl will contribute fixes.
[17:31:10] <mmu_man> which is why I ported it to BeOS and Haiku...

[17:31:55] <e^ipi> well, that came out of nowhere

[17:34:43] <mmu_man> yes but as I've read boomer is supposed to be a fork
[17:34:51] <mmu_man> or maybe I missed something
[17:35:07] <e^ipi> boomer's a completely different thing AFAIK, with OSS programming interfaces
[17:35:38] <e^ipi> so it's OSS from xmms's point of view, but it's really nothing alike
[17:35:55] <e^ipi> i could be wrong here though
[17:35:57] <mmu_man> IIRC it is supposed to be forked from OSS at some point

[17:43:34] <nettezzaumana> xRaich[o]2x: you said before something about less, but i can't figure it out .. i provided you screenshot .. i thing that it is about nroff/troff/groff formatting
[17:43:54] <xRaich[o]2x> nettezzaumana: i'm afraid i can't help you
[17:44:18] <nachox> hmm, do any sound blaster include separate midi hardware these days? i think everything is software based now
[17:44:25] <mmu_man> asyd I'm not even sure, are they written always as shell code or in C ?

[17:45:44] <nettezzaumana> xRaich[o]2x: okok .. i thought that you've got it like i want
[17:45:47] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: how many people in the opensolaris community are familiar with midi's "plumbing"?
[17:46:01] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: it's not a complicated standard
[17:46:04] <_Lewellyn> and the quirks of various devices over the years that'll have to be supported?
[17:46:12] <nachox> flyingparchment, that doesnt mean it's hardware is doing more than routing midi requests somewhere else... like software :P again
[17:46:18] <_Lewellyn> i know roland broke spec numerous times and other devices have as well
[17:46:23] <flyingparchment> nachox: or to/from your external synth, midi keyboard, etc
[17:46:50] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: if it matters to you, add the support. you have the sources :)
[17:47:03] <flyingparchment> it doesn't matter to me, i just think it's a poor attitude
[17:47:12] <flyingparchment> because saying "no one uses midi now we have software synths" is cleary wrong
[17:47:36] <nachox> _Lewellyn, damn, you wrote "roland" and i instantly thought of ksh, and was wondering when roland ever did such thing as breaking a standard :P
[17:47:44] <xRaich[o]2x> i don't see a point in using midi on solaris...
[17:47:46] <_Lewellyn> i think it's a realistic attitude. "we aren't likely to see many people even look at the os for midi work, so the manhours are best spent otherwise"

[17:48:08] <flyingparchment> _Lewellyn: that's not what he said
[17:48:14] <xRaich[o]2x> i wouldn't use midi on linux let alone on solaris
[17:48:25] <flyingparchment> if they considered adding midi and decided against it because it wouldn't be used much on that platform, that's one thing
[17:48:27] <Stric> flyingparchment: On the other hand, I think it's better to make the product better in the market its already in.. compared to trying to create a market..
[17:48:41] <_Lewellyn> flyingparchment: there also *isn't* nearly as much in the way of midi equipment anymore
[17:48:45] <_Lewellyn> this isn't 1988 anymore
[17:49:07] <xRaich[o]2x> _Lewellyn: there sure is midi stuff out there. my guitar rig is pretty full of it
[17:49:09] <jbk> most anything electronic still uses it
[17:49:56] <_Lewellyn> meh, regardless. i see this as a non-issue, personally.
[17:49:56] *** esok has quit IRC
[17:50:12] <_Lewellyn> i'd rather see the manhours spent on other things
[17:50:15] <xRaich[o]2x> midi on solaris doesn't make any sense to me
[17:50:33] <jbk> yeah, as i said if someone else is interested, i don't see why they'd not welcome the addition
[17:50:38] <_Lewellyn> unless someone actually wants to see midi hardware supported on solaris, it doesn't make sense to devote time to it
[17:51:30] <flyingparchment> i wish 'cal 4' showed April, instead of the year 4

[17:59:03] <flyingparchment> CosmicDJ: yes, and often when looking at a calendar, it's useful to know where today is
[17:59:38] <CosmicDJ> flyingparchment: hm no, as I said, I use date for that
[17:59:51] *** nettezzaumana has left #opensolaris
[18:00:03] <flyingparchment> CosmicDJ: okay, so you can run date, then run cal. or you can have the current date shown in cal. personally i think the latter is more useful. (you're free to disagree, of course)
[18:01:05] <CosmicDJ> calendar: "a chart or series of pages showing the days, weeks, and months of a particular year, or giving particular seasonal information."

[18:02:30] <Asad2005> i am planning to install opensolaris for ZFS raidz. My current set up is raid 5 on ubuntu server. I am new to BSD and not sure if this is right for me. Is it easy to set up raidz and share as NFS with free open solaris ?
[18:02:49] <CosmicDJ> Asad2005: no, no... and no
[18:03:07] <Asad2005> CosmicDJ, Why ?
[18:03:21] <CosmicDJ> Asad2005: you can't install opensolaris on raidz
[18:03:37] <flyingparchment> Asad2005: BSD? wrong channel
[18:03:52] <nachox> opensolaris is not a bsd os
[18:04:02] <nachox> you can only mirror your / with zfs
[18:04:13] <brett_> CosmicDJ: where 'install' means 'boot from' ;)
[18:04:15] <Asad2005> I will install on a separate disk and create ZFS raidz on the other drives
[18:04:33] <nachox> you can however install the os on a separate disk and create a raidz with the rest of the drives
[18:04:55] <brett_> Asad2005: to answer your question, yes, getting opensolaris setup as a filer is trivial.
[18:04:58] <nachox> and sharing it through nfs and cifs needs exactly 1 extra command
[18:05:11] <Asad2005> nachox, How about sharing with NFS
[18:05:23] <Asad2005> ok thanks
[18:05:29] <nachox> 1 shorter extra command :P
[18:06:55] <Asad2005> I have experimented a little with zfs-fuse on ubuntu but could not share it as NFS so i think i will try to switch to opensolaris and see

[18:09:32] <_Lewellyn> RE: cal, at&t's cal doesn't do anything special to today's date either
[18:09:50] <_Lewellyn> nor does osx's nor freebsd's.
[18:10:02] <_Lewellyn> so that's a gnuism that is probably as portable as color ls :P
[18:10:05] <Asad2005> xRaich[o]2x, yes am not comparing and thats why i wanted to test real zfs. Many thanks
[18:10:11] <g4lt-lappy> _Lewellyn, solaris's IS AT&T IIRC
[18:10:21] <_Lewellyn> g4lt-lappy: i meant current at&t
[18:10:32] <_Lewellyn> version cal (The Regents of the University of California) 1994-04-02
[18:10:35] <nachox> _Lewellyn, someone ported ls's colors to solaris ls :) jbk maybe?
[18:10:48] <g4lt-lappy> hmmm, looks like IDRC
[18:10:49] <_Lewellyn> nachox: i thought that was gnu's ls ;)
[18:11:12] <_Lewellyn> g4lt-lappy: that was the output of cal --version on an at&t install :)
[18:11:18] <tsoome> oh no, no colors for ls plx...
[18:11:19] <g4lt-lappy> _Lewellyn, well, maybe it's in the "it's not like linsux" RFE P
[18:11:50] <nachox> _Lewellyn, nah, solaris engineers are trying to fool gnu guys into thinking they are using the gnu ls when they are using the much cooler solaris one :P
[18:11:53] <_Lewellyn> tsoome: i'm all for optional color in ls. provided it doesn't break non-color-enabled terminals ;)
[18:11:59] <nachox> so they had to port ls's colors
[18:12:38] <_Lewellyn> i still say that at&t's df is the best out there, though. too bad its output format hasn't made its way into opensolaris ;)
[18:12:42] <CosmicDJ> alias ls to ls -F and you don't need colors ;)
[18:12:46] <tsoome> i did see that linux ls output years ago. still recovering... :D
[18:12:55] <_Lewellyn> the df (AT&T Research) 2005-04-06 version, that is
[18:13:27] <_Lewellyn> tsoome: ever done a color ls on a glass tty terminal type? :(
[18:13:35] <_Lewellyn> or better, on something like wyse60? :P
[18:13:52] <jbk> well
[18:13:57] <tsoome> i dont like self-torturing:D
[18:13:58] <jbk> there's an RFE for color ls
[18:14:00] <jbk> a webrev
[18:14:10] <jbk> and a completed arc template awaiting submission

[18:14:20] <_Lewellyn> tsoome: many linux distros have it as default :P
[18:14:31] <tsoome> i dont use linux. at all.
[18:14:37] <tsoome> not by free will.
[18:14:40] <jbk> and it's such that running plain ls should see _no_ difference
[18:14:52] <trochej> I believe that color ls will be a killer attribution for OpenSolaris, thta will allow iit to overpower other operating systems
[18:14:53] <jbk> it won't even attempt to query the terminal type unless you enable color
[18:14:57] <nachox> jbk, so it was you? :)
[18:15:07] <jbk> i got sick of the arguments
[18:15:15] <jbk> it was like a few hours worth of work to add it
[18:15:24] <jbk> including learning the necessary low level termcap stuff
[18:15:29] <trochej> jbk: I owe you a coffee :)
[18:15:37] <jbk> well now just need to get it putback
[18:15:47] <flyingparchment> jbk: but don't you know that solaris can't add any features that a) some people don't like, even if they're optional, or b) linux had first?
[18:15:59] <jbk> though if you're anxious, you can build it yourself
[18:16:03] <_Lewellyn> jbk: so you mean i won't see more things like this? :D

[18:16:21] <tsoome> .oO :D
[18:16:38] <jbk> well if you set your term type incorrectly, use ls --color=always, and then run on a term that doesn't support it, you could
[18:16:42] <_Lewellyn> that's what gnu's ls does on a non-ansi terminal :P
[18:16:59] <Stric> _Lewellyn: with $TERM that lies?
[18:17:03] <jbk> if the terminfo is correct (which may or may not for the terminal type)
[18:17:06] <_Lewellyn> Stric: nope. wyse60
[18:17:10] <jbk> it actually uses the terminfo data
[18:17:29] <jbk> i wouldn't be surprised of gnu ls actually jsut spit out the raw escape sequences
[18:17:33] <jbk> (I haven't looked)
[18:17:37] <_Lewellyn> that's what it does, afaict
[18:17:43] <nachox> nice
[18:17:49] <_Lewellyn> lynx does the right thing
[18:18:01] <nachox> i always love my screen full of garbage :)
[18:18:02] <jbk> the color ls info is more or less specified using the raw sequences (minus the esc[)
[18:18:08] <_Lewellyn> i actually like using lynx on wyse60
[18:18:19] <jbk> does wyse60 support color?
[18:18:30] <_Lewellyn> nope
[18:18:39] <jbk> then it shouldn't spit out color codes
[18:18:40] <_Lewellyn> reverse and underline's about it :D
[18:18:48] <jbk> though it could utilize reverse or underline
[18:18:54] <jbk> if terminfo supplies the data

[19:00:53] <wbkang> that nfs mount error message is a generic message occuring when mount failed, NOT that i have no permission in the target dir.

[19:25:16] *** wbkang1 has quit IRC
[19:26:08] <JWheeler> I think the act of taking a snapshot is an fsync generating operation.... so I guess if you have a lot of zfs's, it could create pauses
[19:26:28] *** mikefut has quit IRC
[19:26:28] <JWheeler> I notice a very slight spike in cpu on the hour when it takes several at once, but nothing major
[19:27:08] <MrStamp> why is it that snapshots taken with Time Slider don't show up with zfs list?
[19:27:10] <sommerfeld> right, in order for the snapshot to be meaningful it needs to sync out pending writes before creating the snapshot.
[19:27:15] <sommerfeld> MrStamp: zfs list -t all
[19:27:39] <trichobezoar> the system would be idle if not for the snapshots. it seems to cause anonymous memory to get swapped out
[19:28:01] <sommerfeld> it's not "snapshots created by Time Slider". it's all snapshots that are excluded by default from zfs list unless you specify -t all
[19:28:17] <trichobezoar> for hours the disk activity would be max (until i reduced the number of filesystems to snapshot)
[19:29:35] <MrStamp> ah, I see now. I can do -t snapshot just to see the snapshots

[22:09:52] <ikarius> nv23- I know the "server" is working full-duplex gig link speed.
[22:10:23] <ikarius> I haven't verified anything on the client-side.... it's an intel igb on-board NIC, nothing wierd.
[22:10:57] *** kforbz has quit IRC
[22:11:09] <nv23> ikarius: take a look at the client, i had that issue before and it was a duplex setting on the switch when the server was auto_neg
[22:11:17] <ikarius> not sure how to go about verifying the client when it's a dumb layer-2 switch, and I'm in the boot process.
[22:11:48] <nv23> ahhh i gotcha.......your not going over any wan links right? same subnet, simple layer 2 switch?
[22:11:51] <ikarius> nv23- there something I can add to the grub line to specify speed/duplex?

[22:13:09] <nv23> sudo ethtool eth0 should give u ur dumpex setting
[22:13:23] <nv23> ahh i get what ur doin
[22:13:25] <nv23> hmmm
[22:13:26] <ikarius> linux box is a dell 1950 running broadcom NIC
[22:13:35] <flyingparchment> ikarius: over GE, you should have several dots per second
[22:13:47] <ikarius> flyingparchment- I agree
[22:13:50] <nv23> not sure how to echo out the duplex and nic settings via grub
[22:14:00] <nv23> but it should be going a lot faster then that, thats slower then local cd install
[22:14:11] <ikarius> MUCH slower than local CD install
[22:14:52] <nv23> can i swap to a different nic? the 1950's have (2) nics
[22:14:54] *** cemerick has quit IRC
[22:14:56] <nv23> also verify the cable?

[22:15:06] <ikarius> I do linux network installs off the same linux server all day long, they cruise along full speed
[22:16:01] <ikarius> in point of fact, I tested doing a linux install onto the same HW I'm now attempting to install SXCE on, and it was just fine speed-wise
[22:16:25] <nv23> anyone have any ideas to my issue? SUNWtftp and SUNWtftpr are installed but the smf service is no where to be found, did i miss a package?
[22:16:28] *** ejray_ has quit IRC
[22:16:43] <ikarius> nv23- did you reboot the box?
[22:16:46] <flyingparchment> i've never seen that on any of our 1950s
[22:17:07] <nv23> ikarius: reboot the server? no
[22:17:10] <ikarius> nv23- if you dont want to reboot the box, you may need to tell SMF to parse the manifest
[22:17:27] <nv23> if i reboot the smf will come up?
[22:17:34] <ikarius> nv23 I forget the command to do that, but it will parse any new manifests automatically when the box reboots
[22:17:53] <nv23> it should to the svccfg import during the package install
[22:17:58] <nv23> lemme reboot see what happens
[22:18:32] <ikarius> nv23: I recall having trouble with a newly installed service not showing up until I either rebooted or told it to import the manifest manually
[22:18:53] <flyingparchment> if you install from a properly built package, it'll import the manifest automatically
[22:18:57] <nv23> odd thing is /var/svc/manifest/network has no tftp file in there
[22:19:01] <flyingparchment> if not, you have to do it by hand, it doesn't monitor the directory for updates
[22:19:13] <nv23> hmm
[22:19:35] <flyingparchment> nv23: do you have a tftp line in /etc/inetd.conf? uncomment it, run inetconf
[22:19:42] <flyingparchment> (that's the case on S10, but i don't have SX here to check)
[22:19:45] <ikarius> flyingparchment: I've never installed a package from anywhere besides the osol production repository
[22:19:57] <nv23> yea this is off the cd
[22:20:00] <flyingparchment> inetconv, not inetconf
[22:20:12] <nv23> lemme check....the package was from a b109 build and im using b91
[22:20:18] <nv23> lemme see if that screwed it up
[22:21:51] <flyingparchment> why did you install it from a different build? (and did you check inetd.conf?)
[22:22:02] <nv23> cus i got mixed up :-)
[22:22:08] <nv23> lemme check inetd after i look at this
[22:23:01] <nv23> ok it wasn't the packages from the build
[22:23:04] <nv23> lemme take a look at inetd
[22:23:41] <nv23> flyingpartchment: it is commented out, but this isnt going to resolve why the smf service wasn't created by the package
[22:23:57] <nv23> :q!

[22:32:36] <coollinux> hi i am trying to work with different languages - i.e trying to be able to see them atleast in the terminal using xemacs or emascs
[22:32:37] <coollinux> or vi
[22:32:46] <trichobezoar> what bug, coollinux ?
[22:33:00] <trichobezoar> Maybe that's why I'm getting stormed for hours regarding timeslider
[22:33:05] <trichobezoar> err, sorry, that's for codestr0m
[22:34:56] <codestr0m> (I think that's correct)
[22:35:01] <coollinux> how do you thinkn i would be able to do that
[22:35:18] <codestr0m> me and another dev are looking into the patches which fixed it and may apply early to our project
[22:35:42] <codestr0m> coollinux: umm. change your locale?
[22:35:51] <codestr0m> set it to UTF-8
[22:36:13] *** axisys has joined #opensolaris
[22:36:16] <trichobezoar> Heh that sucks. Fixed in snv_112
[22:36:25] *** fftb has quit IRC
[22:36:35] <trichobezoar> Well better than the track record for some bugs ;D
[22:37:26] <codestr0m> trichobezoar: well. as I said.. our project we'll hunt down the patch and resolve or package around it
[22:37:27] <coollinux> just setting the LC_ALL=ru doesn't work for me - where and how do i get the fonts
[22:37:41] <nicoatsun> you need to use a UTF-8 locale
[22:37:53] <nicoatsun> locale -a should list the installed locales
[22:37:54] <codestr0m> coollinux: not sure.. maybe some extra fonts did you install from the global cd or other one?
[22:38:07] *** gm152 has joined #opensolaris
[22:38:11] <nicoatsun> pick a UTF-8 locale and use that
[22:38:20] <nicoatsun> that's what I do
[22:38:22] *** estibi_ has joined #opensolaris
[22:38:49] <trichobezoar> Does sun do anything after finding these types of bugs, like adding an automated test that checks if filesystem performance is drastically reduced?
[22:38:53] <coollinux> i want to work with iso8859-5
[22:38:59] <nicoatsun> so all my apps display messages in English, but I'm able to type and see characters in other languages
[22:39:11] *** myosound has quit IRC
[22:39:15] <trichobezoar> automated tests == hard once, easy forever
[22:39:59] <nicoatsun> coollinux: ISO8859-* are all single byte codesets, therefore you can't use them and work in multiple languages that can't be represented in a single ISO8859-* codeset
[22:40:15] *** egoz has joined #opensolaris
[22:40:21] <nicoatsun> trichobezoar: we have testsuites
[22:40:29] <nicoatsun> the tests are manually written
[22:40:32] *** cemerick has joined #opensolaris
[22:40:40] <coollinux> right now i only want to work with this as my text is in ISO8859-5 russian lang
[22:40:49] <nicoatsun> we do have perf testsuites too, but these are typically run after integration, rather than before
[22:41:24] *** rgouveia_ has joined #opensolaris
[22:41:43] <nicoatsun> coollinux: if you only want Latin/Cyrillic then ISO8859-5 will do
[22:41:44] <coollinux> so how do i go about displayin some text in iso8859-5 on my shell
[22:42:03] <nicoatsun> what terminal app?
[22:42:08] <coollinux> how do i load those, do i have to add them to font path
[22:42:28] <nicoatsun> if you start your whole desktop in an 8859-5 locale then it should just work
[22:42:37] <coollinux> on bash
[22:43:01] *** Disreali has joined #opensolaris
[22:43:03] <nicoatsun> if you're in some other locale and you're using gnome-terminal use the Terminal->Set Character Encoding menu
[22:43:14] <coollinux> i am using remote login to log into solaris machine
[22:43:19] <coollinux> using putty at the moment
[22:43:48] <nicoatsun> coollinux: then set LC_ALL=<an-ISO8859-5-locale>
[22:43:49] <coollinux> so what do i have to do something like vi or more and still able to see the text
[22:43:59] <nicoatsun> most apps should just work
[22:44:04] *** hajma has joined #opensolaris
[22:44:14] <nicoatsun> VIM might be too smart, depending on your .vimrc
[22:44:27] <coollinux> actually i have a file which has iso8859-5 characters
[22:44:38] <coollinux> i want to do something like
[22:44:43] *** cemerick has quit IRC
[22:45:02] <coollinux> vi abc.txt and see the text in proper encoding
[22:45:19] <coollinux> so alli have to do is LC_ALL=iso8859-5
[22:45:31] <nicoatsun> there are tools to convert file contents
[22:45:48] <nicoatsun> so if you're in a UTF-8 locale you can still deal with 885905 contents
[22:45:53] <coollinux> but i have tried using xlsfonts, there are no iso8859-5 fonts
[22:45:53] <nicoatsun> VIM can do it directly, IIRC
[22:46:05] <nicoatsun> there's no such thing as iso8859-5 fonts
[22:46:07] <nicoatsun> locales
[22:46:10] <nicoatsun> use locale -a
[22:47:00] *** AxeZ has quit IRC
[22:47:23] <coollinux> but if i look in /usr/openwin/lib/locale/iso_8859_5/X11/fonts/
[22:47:38] <coollinux> there are some fonts and if i use xset fp+ thepath
[22:47:48] <coollinux> then xlsfonts give me those fonts as welll

[22:48:16] *** arpunk_ has quit IRC
[22:48:19] <nicoatsun> you're logged in remotely and using a pty, yes? if so then fonts on the remote side are not an issue
[22:48:24] <nicoatsun> the locale is
[22:48:33] <nicoatsun> ru_RU.ISO8859-5
[22:48:36] <nicoatsun> is the locale you want
[22:49:04] <coollinux> ok nice
[22:49:10] <coollinux> but i just wanted to know where do the fonts come from
[22:49:25] <hajma> Hi, is there someone from the SourceJuicer (jucr.opensolaris.org) project ?
[22:49:38] <nicoatsun> if you're going to be dealing with files in different codesets in the same shell session then you'll want to either use VIM (I don't know enough about VIM and switching codesets, but I believe it does it) or you'll want to convert file contents using, for example, iconv(1)
[22:49:42] <nicoatsun> (man iconv)
[22:50:00] <nicoatsun> hajma: I work with them but not for them
[22:50:09] <nicoatsun> hajma: what's up?

[22:52:39] <coollinux> ok i understand
[22:53:07] <coollinux> just doing LC_ALL will do the trick
[22:53:11] <coollinux> from loadin the fonts
[22:53:33] <coollinux> to displaying them
[22:53:34] <nicoatsun> see also locale(1)
[22:54:04] <nicoatsun> the fonts are an issue where your X11/WIN32/whatever lives
[22:54:15] <coollinux> also if i want to install locales then how to do that
[22:54:18] <nicoatsun> they are an issue for your terminal application
[22:54:35] <nicoatsun> locales are in the operating system install media
[22:54:42] <nicoatsun> they are in packages
[22:54:54] <nicoatsun> I'm not sure how this works in OpenSolaris
[22:55:14] <nicoatsun> I just recall that when I've done OpenSolaris installs I've always selected the locales I want
[22:55:15] <nicoatsun> :)

[23:01:21] *** jtmuzix has joined #opensolaris
[23:01:41] <codestr0m> alanc: IBM owns the copyright on the closed libc afaik.. so it wouldn't make the port easier
[23:01:56] *** DesiJat has left #opensolaris
[23:02:06] <alanc> there's no way in hg to allow only part of a repo to be checked out, so it's not possible to have a mixed open/closed repo in hg
[23:02:08] *** DesiJat has joined #opensolaris
[23:02:23] <nicoatsun> coollinux: I think you want to install the pkgs named SUNWlang-ru*
[23:02:45] <ceri> Fact is, they can't kill opensolaris. The closed bits only matter because they pass the compliance tests, an opensolaris project disassociated from solaris doesn't need to care
[23:03:02] <codestr0m> alanc: yes subtree or partial checkout isn't possible, but still I don't know how you guys get the source
[23:03:13] <alanc> hg clone
[23:03:35] <alanc> it's documented on the ON webpages, it's not a secret
[23:03:38] <codestr0m> alanc: ok so it's two hg sources you guys keep in sync
[23:03:40] *** evocallaghan has joined #opensolaris
[23:03:47] <codestr0m> (shrugs)
[23:03:54] <nicoatsun> yes
[23:04:01] <nicoatsun> the testsuites live in different gates
[23:04:11] <nicoatsun> some testsuites have been made public, IIRC
[23:04:15] *** coollinux has joined #opensolaris
[23:04:23] <codestr0m> nicoatsun: which ones?
[23:04:23] <nicoatsun> but the test gates are mostly private
[23:04:31] <nicoatsun> ZFS and DTrace come to mind
[23:04:34] <CosmicDJ> ceri: well not kill, but who'll continue opensolaris development... this is not a community driven project, the main force behind the continued development are sun employees
[23:05:18] <ceri> cosmicdj That's an artefact of the fact that the gate isn't open to everyone. That would just change.
[23:05:53] <codestr0m> nicoatsun: I'll have to find the zfs and dtrace testsuite
[23:05:57] <coollinux> nicoatsun: if working on cde/gnome do i have to restart x
[23:05:59] *** tld has quit IRC
[23:06:05] <ikarius> I suspect if IBM buys sun, they'll relicense the most useful bits, i.e. ZFS & dtrace and then port them to AIX and linux
[23:06:13] <coollinux> or just doing LANG= will work
[23:06:14] <trichobezoar> and java...
[23:06:23] <nicoatsun> the folks who ported DTrace to MacOS X and FreeBSD (and the guy doing the LInux port) all used the DTrace testsuite
[23:06:23] <ikarius> java's already GPL.
[23:06:45] <ikarius> but yes, I suspect IBM is very interested in java
[23:06:46] <ceri> Putting ZFS under the GPL would actually be more harmful to the OpenSolaris project than anything else that IBM could do, I think.
[23:07:16] <ikarius> ceri: I doubt IBM gives a crap about opensolaris. they're invested in AIX on the high end, and linux for mainstream
[23:07:29] <codestr0m> nicoatsun: thanks
[23:07:38] <DesiJat> they care about solaris. a lot.
[23:07:40] <DesiJat> anyways.
[23:07:46] <alanc> ikarius: IBM has long been one of the biggest resellers of Solaris - they're invested in making money
[23:07:50] <nicoatsun> coollinux: if you want your desktop to run in a different locale then you'll need to restart it, yes; but typically apps like gnome-terminal and firefox can deal (so with gnome-terminal you can set the encoding for each terminal)
[23:07:59] <ikarius> solaris would live as long as folks kept paying for maintainence contracts
[23:08:13] <ikarius> alanc: really? I had no idea of that.... that's pretty interesting...
[23:08:17] <codestr0m> instead of all the bs talk.. why don't people help with coding more?
[23:08:29] <nicoatsun> so, there's certainly a lot of overlap between Sun and IBM
[23:08:32] <alanc> coding is hard, making up BS is easy
[23:08:49] <ceri> codestr0m Because that's difficult and requires a foot in the real world?
[23:08:51] <codestr0m> alanc: yeah. it's got your and my feathers ruffled
[23:08:53] <CosmicDJ> ceri: history proves you wrong, look at XFS, the main force behind it are still old SGI devs, or HP's "generous" AdvFS donation, dead code that doesn't even compile on Tru64
[23:08:59] <nicoatsun> it's way, way too early to speculate on what *would* be done about that *if* IBM were to acquire Sun
[23:09:15] <nicoatsun> IBM has been trying to replace AIX with Linux
[23:09:25] <nicoatsun> IBM is porting OpenSolaris to POWER
[23:09:37] <nicoatsun> IBM has an interest in all three OSes
[23:09:47] <codestr0m> nicoatsun: I don't think it's IBM. I think it's a couple IBM employees with too much time/interest on their hands
[23:09:48] <ikarius> nicoatsun: pfft. but theorizing about things we know too little about and blowing smoke is fun ;)
[23:09:54] <nicoatsun> if they were to acquire Sun, which would they kill, if any? who knows???
[23:10:01] <ceri> cosmicdj I don't really think that history can prove me wrong wrt a future event
[23:10:20] <trichobezoar> It was always conjectured that Sun and Fujistu would merge
[23:10:33] <nicoatsun> ceri: given enough time the probability of any event approaches 1
[23:10:36] <tsoome> i think IBM got no clue what to do
[23:11:01] <nicoatsun> I've seen acquisitions where the smaller partner's culture and management took over
[23:11:12] <nicoatsun> odd things happen in M&As
[23:11:20] <nicoatsun> so chill out :)

[23:12:13] <alanc> Sun and Apple was a popular rumor of past years (one that had a lot of truth at times it turned out later, as McNealy confirmed a couple rounds of merger talks in the past, and engineers have confirmed working on the "Solaris-based MacOS X" port before Apple bought Next instead)

[23:14:46] <CosmicDJ> nicoatsun: IIRC IBM mainframe != power cpu
[23:14:48] <alanc> trichobezoar: well, for instance, in the mid-90's, Sun bought this little company called Lighthouse, which made OpenStep/NextStep apps, when Sun was investing in OpenStep - the apps died, but the CEO of Lighthouse is now CEO of Sun
[23:14:48] <pjfloyd> nicoatsun: it's just running under xVM

[23:19:02] <nicoatsun> we're not discussing; you all are and we're just telling you that we can't predict the future
[23:19:23] <alanc> there's likely nothing we can tell you that you can't read on sun.com or register.co.uk - there's plenty of new SPARC machines in the pipeline, and new CPU versions like Rock in development
[23:19:28] <nicoatsun> as such the answer to your question about SPARC is the same as for OpenSolaris
[23:19:48] <nicoatsun> right
[23:19:52] <psychicist> CosmicDJ: I would only hope any future releases won't be put on the backburner or even axed ;)
[23:19:55] <CosmicDJ> let me translate that as "hazy"
[23:20:12] <nicoatsun> yes, the future is hazy :)
[23:20:53] *** teknoprep has joined #opensolaris
[23:20:54] <noyb> I've wanted Apple to buy Sun for a long time... That would be pretty cool to have the aqua ported to Solaris and all of the Solaris goodies could live where they were born, not on BSD. Then we could ditch gnome. :)
[23:21:01] <teknoprep> does opensolaris work with dual monitors ?
[23:21:28] <trichobezoar> teknoprep: yes
[23:22:20] *** Catsceo has joined #opensolaris
[23:23:33] <teknoprep> trichobezoar, so that would probably mean Milax supports dual monitors
[23:24:05] <psychicist> just so you know, I'm a linux guy but I'm also developing/maintaining a SPARC version of my distro, that's why asked. I've read so many doom scenarios over time, that I was wondering if it would still be worth the effort to work on it
[23:24:53] <nicoatsun> psychicist: isn't the question then: "do my customers need that?"
[23:24:57] <alanc> some projects under development are always axed before release, because you can't learn what works without trying things and seeing which fail - as long as enough good ones come out, you win
