[00:04]<rrmnsm>where does SGD install to anyway?
[00:07]<nnvwjpp>jamesd: /opt/tarentella
[00:07]<nnvwjpp>it's pretty awful for it's memory usage
[00:08]<nnvwjpp>nomachine's nxserver or citrix are a lot better
[00:08]<rrmnsm>but SGD is free
[00:08]<rrmnsm>and i have 1.6GB on this box so its cool
[00:10]<nnvwjpp>jamesd: so is nomachine's nxserver
[00:10]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>what are the chances of getting a solaris admin job with a RHCE certification?
[00:10]<rrmnsm>0
[00:10]<nnvwjpp>somedudeinperu: slim to none...many places (I've been to many CEO based reports) look for real experience
[00:10]<rrmnsm>get solaris certs
[00:10]<-- 2yd2nzy xrs fuyv>http://iownmymusic.org/ http://iownmydvds.org/ .")
[00:11]<nnvwjpp>over some stupid certifications
[00:11]<nnvwjpp>sun or rhel
[00:11]<nnvwjpp>you need to know the material, but don't make it the only point that will help you land a job
[00:11]<nnvwjpp>anyways...gotta run. Gonna spend a day @ the beach
[00:12]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>how do you get the experience if all the jobs in it reqauire experience.
[00:12]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>its kind of a vicious circle
[00:12]<xrfy>somedudeinperu: you start off lower down the food chain
[00:12]<xrfy>somedudeinperu: support .. whatever to get your foot in the door
[00:15]<rmnysv>chainsaw?
[00:16]<xrfy>or just move to the uk
[00:16]<xrfy>it's rather easy to get a unix'ish job here
[00:16]<xrfy>especially if you have financial experience
[00:17]<xrfy>a few years with oracle helps as well
[00:17]<xrfy>or at least a good knowledge of oracle
[00:19]<mnfnwys>unfortunately, most of the employers I've interviewed with see the discrepancies between my "experience" and work experience.
[00:19]<xrfy>delewis: i thought you had a job? som ibm gig?
[00:19]<xrfy>or am i confusing you with someone
[00:19]<mnfnwys>no, that was sort of a contract position with a healthcare operation that used IBM exclusively.
[00:19]<mnfnwys>I only did that for a few months
[00:19]<mnfnwys>they were unable to create a fulltime position for me at the time (despite how bad they wanted me)
[00:20]<mnfnwys>after the contract finished
[00:20]<mnfnwys>so I've been unemployed for almost 8-9 months, now.
[00:20]<xrfy>ok.. sucks
[00:22]<rmnysv>sux bt
[00:22]<mnfnwys>mostly everyone I've interviewed with wants work experience, which I don't have much of.
[00:23]<mnfnwys>despite acknowledging that I'm more than 'technically competent' for the position.
[00:23]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>I worked technical support with a satellite ISP
[00:24]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>and it's useful experience for nothing
[00:24]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>well, I know the ins and outs of networking
[00:25]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>I wanted to be involved in NOC operations.
[00:25]<sjmgmumgyglgzu>which were all done in cisco and solaris
[00:25]<sgrcn006uc>delewis i got it working, but I didnt realise that it was a trial package
[00:26]<mnfnwys>Snake007uk: no, you just need to contact Sun for a free 100-user license.
[00:26]<mnfnwys>they'll send you a key.
[00:26]<sgrcn006uc>oh
[00:26]<sgrcn006uc>great :D
[00:26]<sgrcn006uc>hehe
[00:26]<mnfnwys>this should be covered in the documentation somewhere or mentioned whenever you downloaded it.
[00:26]<sgrcn006uc>yeah it should, may have missed it
[00:27]<sgrcn006uc>Thanks for the help
[00:27]<sgrcn006uc>need to get the sleep
[00:27]<sgrcn006uc>*some
[00:27]<sgrcn006uc>night all
[01:40]<fzynmzyah>Boo!
[02:02]<dzvzsvznzd>Hello people
[02:05]<rsjlvfrl>Hello DataStream
[02:06]<dzvzsvznzd>Hey jsoftlap still working on the mirror i see
[02:10]<rrfv>hmm, if you had to change volume on a remote host via solaris, how would you do it?
[02:15]<ruzrfys>use it to control a network enabled robotot to physicaly turn the volume knob on the steror down :)
[02:17]<dzvzsvznzd>Or a serial cable
[02:17]<dzvzsvznzd>Auralis: great opening to both seasons i thought
[02:17]<ruzrfys>DataStream: yup
[02:23]<-- dyrnnprd wrs puyv> i mean the other left <-")
[02:34]<rsjlvfrl>Yeah make a serial based gizmo
[02:35]<rsjlvfrl>Some sort of pic chip connected to some solid state variable resistor or something
[02:35]<rsjlvfrl>Of course, the serial gizmo would have to have hot swappable pic chips, power supplies, and trunking serial cables
[02:35]<dzvzsvznzd>personally i would just buy one, but hey whatever floats your boat :P
[02:35]<rsjlvfrl>:P
[02:36]<rrfv>what if the solaris was the frigging media center?
[02:36]<dzvzsvznzd>i see alot of people in here trying to make their own serial cables
[02:36]<rrfv>ie I'm too lazxy to get up and change the volume on my SB100's XMMS
[02:38]<ruzrfys>audioplay or stdaudiocontrol if ya have a x connection
[02:38]<ruzrfys>or isntall audioctl for console tools
[02:39]<rrfv>ssh -X is available, yes, it's just dog-slow for some reason
[02:39]<ruzrfys>audiplay is just a simple little motif app, nothing fancy
[02:39]<mnfnwys>null modem cables are easy to make if you have, say, two serial mice that you can castrate (which is what I usually do)
[02:40]<mnfnwys>I used to have an abundance of them, but unfortunately, over the years of null modem cable creation, my supply has diminished.
[02:40]<rrfv>eri0 - hme0 should not be this fucking slow, no matter WHAT POS router is in the middle
[02:40]<mnfnwys>galt: check the link speed
[02:40]<rrfv>in dmesg?
[02:40]<mnfnwys>could be 10Mbit/s which would make X11 forwarding quite slow, especially over ssh
[02:41]<mnfnwys>galt: ndd(1)
[02:42]<mnfnwys>dmesg output might have it as well
[02:44]<mnfnwys>kstat eri | grep ifspeed works, too.
[02:47]<rrfv>no, link spped is 100 MBPS :(
[02:47]<rrfv>Mbps rather
[02:48]<mnfnwys>interesting.
[02:48]<mnfnwys>SSH X11 shouldn't be too bad then
[02:48]<mnfnwys>have you tried transferring a somewhat large file over ftp?
[02:48]<mnfnwys>or scp for that matter
[05:59]<fyguw1>hi does anyone here know how to pass a boot option to solaris 2.6 installer to force it to see more ram
[05:59]<fyguw1>it is only detecting 6 megs
[05:59]<fyguw1>and i have 164 megs
[05:59]<fyguw1>so they install fails after loading a few files
[05:59]<fyguw1>anyone got any ideas
[05:59]<fyguw1>i tried mem=128
