[00:00]<ugypjzd>-ok...
[00:00]<zxzzfyns>-so if you have a hostname in there, make sure there's only correct A records existing.
[00:00]<fafv>-uniform: check your /etc/bootparams and OBP for local-mac-address? (it maybe set to true)

[00:01]<ggjmygmgz>+:(
[00:02]<ejjfdrg>+Hi all
[00:02]<ggjmygmgz>+not even sure what the hell that really does
[00:02]<ejjfdrg>+any suggestions on how to change the screen resolution?
[00:03]<ggjmygmgz>+what?
[00:03]<xrfy>+zoolman: what machine type and what solaris release?
[00:03]<zxzzfyns>-m64config or fbconfig.
[00:03]<ggjmygmgz>+I always thought vt100 was vt100...
[00:03]<ejjfdrg>+x86/Solaris 10 01/06
[00:04]<ejjfdrg>+I found my VGA card on the HCL
[00:04]<ejjfdrg>+but now the only thing I can get is 640*480@60khz
[00:05]<zxzzfyns>-x86?!
[00:05]<ejjfdrg>+yes
[00:05]<zxzzfyns>-hehe
[00:05]<xrfy>+kdmconfig to begin with... and then just edit xorg.conf
[00:06]<ejjfdrg>+I did something I dont know if its right
[00:06]<ejjfdrg>+when I was installing the OS
[00:06]<ejjfdrg>+I didnt choose either Xsun or Xorg
[00:06]<ejjfdrg>+I just test& save
[00:08]<ejjfdrg>+and I cant use kdmconfig
[00:08]<ejjfdrg>+its complaning also about the screen resolution
[00:08]<xrfy>+Xorg is default
[00:09]<ejjfdrg>+even if I didnt choose it!
[00:09]<ejjfdrg>+where its located
[00:11]<ggjmygmgz>+
ACTION wonders why people use guis

[00:12]<rrmnsm>+NeoMinder, people like prety pictures...
[00:13]<ejjfdrg>+hali: where it is located please
[00:13]<xrfy>+zoolman: /etc/X11
[00:13]<zrunlxurns>+solaris impresses me
[00:13]<zrunlxurns>+i was in the middle of setting up metadb mirroring and my root disk was syncing with the mirror. then the power was cut off
[00:14]<rrmnsm>+NeoMinder, and people just like using things where have the latest nudie picture as the background
[00:14]<zrunlxurns>+power came back, i did a metasync -r and all was good
[00:15]<ejjfdrg>+hali: it looks like the system has identifed my VGA card correctly
[00:15]<ejjfdrg>+i did cat on /etc/X11/.xorg.conf
[00:15]<ejjfdrg>+how do I change the resoultion
[00:16]<ejjfdrg>+ok then may be later
[00:22]<dvu>+hi everyone - i'm using solaris 9, and i'd like to install firefox. do i need the solaris2.10 or solaris2.8-gtk1 package?
[00:22]<ggjmygmgz>+jamesd, I guess
[00:23]<ggjmygmgz>+Any idea if a EMU-BOARD is needed? Both of them in a 3310 are faulted.
[00:28]<rrmnsm>+given that sun installed reduntant emu-boards, its most likely important... call your sun slut^WFE/SSE and order replacement parts...
[00:28]<ggjmygmgz>+getting to it
[00:28]<ggjmygmgz>+renewing out contract today to
[00:29]<ggjmygmgz>+that got dropped on my desk this morning
[00:29]<ggjmygmgz>+I just wrote a $130,000 check.
[00:29]<ggjmygmgz>+thats for one year
[00:31]<rrmnsm>+damm... should i send you my support invoice for my services i'm sure i could do it for 13,000 shouldn't raise any eye brows compared to that last one ;-p
[00:31]<wdf2uzd>+re
[00:35]<ggjmygmgz>+no shit
[00:36]<-- svgvsdyzgjvr xrs>/dev/null")
[00:37]<rnnc2jy>+NeoMinder: That for Sun Support?
[00:49]<ggjmygmgz>+yeah
[00:49]<ggjmygmgz>+good 'ol sun support
[00:50]<ajc_z0>+Like an old and frequently used jockstrap
[00:50]<dycnpjj>-In general, when creating a proxy caching server, how is the "cache" updated, say using squid for instance.
[00:52]<ajc_z0>+By following the spec, more or less - http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec13.html#sec13
[00:54]<ajc_z0>+The short answer is that the cache keeps track of how fresh the object is and when it expires, fetching a new object from the origin server when needed
[00:56]<dycnpjj>+Ahh ok, where is expiration time set?
[00:56]<ajc_z0>+In the Expires header, but that's only part of the complex measurement of "freshness"
[00:57]<dycnpjj>+Ahh and that header is given via a httpd?
[00:58]<ajc_z0>+Maybe
[01:00]<ajc_z0>+or maybe not and you'll have to check the Last-Modified, Max-Age, etc. See the spec (esp. 13.2.3 Age Calculations)
[01:01]<ajc_z0>+Even if I wasn't leaving to go home, the long answer is too long to give here and in any case it's all documented in the spec and - in the case of at least Squid - in the docs
[01:25]<fyguw_usnz9001t9>+will linux software run in solaris?
[01:25]<fyguw_usnz9001t9>+will gnome run in solaris?
[01:26]<lnnzan>+sun's 'java desktop' *IS* gnome
[01:27]<-- 2yd2nzy xrs fuyv>http://iownmymusic.org/")
[01:27]<ggjmygmgz>+I hate linux
[01:27]<pzvzyac_c>+lol
[01:27]<ggjmygmgz>+ok
[01:27]<ggjmygmgz>+just linux admins really
[01:27]<ggjmygmgz>+I like linux it's self
[01:27]<zrunlxurns>+NeoMinder: I can understand why. I love Linux but Solaris does a LOT more. I would understand why a Solaris expert would hate Linux :-)
[01:27]<lnnzan>+linux is just the kernel. all the rest of whats wrapped around it is standard open source GPL Gnu stuff.
[01:28]<zrunlxurns>+speaking of which, i need a solaris expert to help me :-)
[01:28]<zrunlxurns>+just finished up configuring meta(db|init) to mirror my root disk
[01:29]<zrunlxurns>+only problem is when i pull out the root disk, the mirror won't boot :-( says /dev/md/dxx doesn't exist ...
[01:29]<zrunlxurns>+run metastat and all states are okay ...
[01:30]<lnnzan>+did you follow this, exactly? http://www.gods-inc.de/barbie/solaris/sds_mirroring_howto.txt
[01:30]<lnnzan>+specifically you need to run metaroot too
[01:30]<zrunlxurns>+no. i followed http://www.batcom-it.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=41 exactly
[01:31]<zrunlxurns>+i ran metaroot. have the md entry for root FS in vfstab. yes
[01:31]<zrunlxurns>+i can do it again and see if it helps :-)
[01:32]<rrmnsm>+Zauephuaes, is this x86 or sparc... you may need to modify the bios if its x86.
[01:32]<fyguw_usnz9001t9>+does anyone use solaris on their pc at home?
[01:32]<fyguw_usnz9001t9>+his or her pc at home
[01:32]<zrunlxurns>+sparc: just ran metaroot d30 again. no output. so assume it's fine. do i need to run installboot again?
[01:33]<zrunlxurns>+to put boot sector on the mirror. it booted last time, so i assume not ...
[01:33]<zrunlxurns>+init 6 running now. let's see
[01:35]<rrmnsm>+linux_user400354, yes
[01:36]<fyguw_usnz9001t9>+jamesd, why?
[01:36]<rrmnsm>+linux_user400354, solaris with ZFS is especially effective for home fileservers as documented at http://uadmin.blogspot.com/2006/05/why-zfs-for-home.html
[01:37]<zrunlxurns>+linux_user400354: why is not really the question. it's who.
[01:37]<rrmnsm>+linux_user400354, becayse of ZFS, dtrace, SMF
