[10:42]<jgggr>hey asyd
[10:42]<jgggr>wasup
[10:53]<lnnzan>darn it, this thing still won't boot off disk1, which is mirrored to disk0 :-/
[10:53]<lnnzan>[with SDS]
[10:54]<rsmm>Jenna: hmm lot of things (most of them related to my job), and you ?
[10:55]<jgggr>asyd: been way too busy for month now
[10:55]<rsmm>ah
[10:55]<jgggr>asyd: listen I'll catch u later. Sheeps are starting jump over
[10:56]<jgggr>will be up in 3/4 hours
[10:57]<jgggr>nighty nite
[10:57]<lnnzan>oh. now it IS booting off disk1. ok, I musta moofed the installboot(1M) before :-)
[11:40]<jjnfyj>hi guys, I'm a complete Solaris newbie (but a well seasoned Linux user) - I'd like to remove telnet from a box that I've inherited. How would I go about this, or any good links for beginner info? thanks!
[11:42]<syfc>solaris 10?
[11:42]<syfc>and do you mean the binary, the service? or sometihng else?
[11:46]<syfc>when you say remove, im guessing you dont mean rm?
[11:46]<jjnfyj>yes, sorry.. just stop the service listening.. would I edit /etc/inetd.conf or similar?
[11:48]<syfc>solaris 10?
[11:48]<jjnfyj>SunSunOS reverendtimms 5.8 Generic_108528-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V210
[11:48]<syfc>edit /etc/inetd.conf, hup inetd
[11:49]<jjnfyj>ok, cheers ;)
[11:50]<syfc>no wukks
[11:52]<rlu>I installed Solaris 10 x86 and would like some help on how to mount the cdrom. Can someone offer any help
[11:53]<syfc>Do you know what controller the cdrom is on?
[11:54]<rlu>how can I find that out. Is there no automount for Solaris 10 x86
[11:54]<syfc>iostat -En
[11:54]<rlu>ok
[11:56]<rlu>It sees the cdrom but reports an error as device not ready.
[11:57]<syfc>sure, but what device was it?
[11:59]<sgrcn006uc>morning all
[11:59]<syfc>indeed
[12:45]<jjnfyj>what's the solaris equivalent of a ps -aux in linux?
[12:46]<pnzvnzb>the exact equivant would be /usr/ucb/ps -aux ;)
[12:46]<pnzvnzb>but ps -ef is close enough
[12:50]<symm>hi! how do i install a new lan card in solars?
[12:50]<symm>it shows in modinfo but ifconfig rtls0 plumb fails
[12:50]<symm>so does ifconfig iprb0 plumb
[12:50]<symm>both drivers are loaded in the kernel - modinfo
[12:53]<symm>solars/s/solaris
[12:56]<jjnfyj>PerterB: thanks mate! :)
[13:00]<pnzvnzb>sidd: just because the modules are loaded doesn't mean that that driver attached to your card
[13:00]<pnzvnzb>have a look at prtconf -D to see which (if any) driver attached, eg: ethernet, instance #0 (driver name: dmfe)
[13:03]<symm>PerterB, how do i attach them? prtconf doesnt show em
[13:08]<ivrgr_>sidd: check the pci id of the card vs. the entries for rtls in /etc/driver_aliases
[13:09]<pnzvnzb>aye
[13:09]<rsmm>a/S 10
[13:09]<rsmm>oups
[13:10]<symm>IvanR_, it is pci10ec,8139
[13:10]<symm>this is in /etc/driver_aliases
[13:14]<ivrgr_>Odd. What about "ifconfig -a plumb"?
[13:15]<ivrgr_>Can you paste the output from prtconf -v on http://rafb.net/paste/ ?
[13:15]<symm>ok
[13:19]<symm>it is too huge.
[13:19]<symm>and since i do not have a n/w connection on that machine, unable to transfer it.
[13:19]<symm>i noticed a few (Driver not attached) messages. any use?
[13:24]<ivrgr_>Well, try saving the output to a file. Look at the "compatible" property under pci10ec,8139 for other pci ids that might be a better match.
[13:24]<symm>IvanR_, there were none.
[13:25]<symm>even if i same output to a file, how do i transfer it? no floppy drives on the machine.
[13:25]<ivrgr_>USB stick?
[13:25]<symm>how do i mount usb pen drive in solaris?
[13:27]<ivrgr_>Do you have a full install? Is vold running ( pgrep -lf vold )?
[13:28]<ivrgr_>If vold is running, just plug it in, and vold should mount it. Which release are you running?
[13:30]<pnzvnzb>sidd: just to be clear, in /etc/driver_aliases you have a line reading like: rtls "pci10ec,8139"
[13:30]<pnzvnzb>?
[13:30]<symm>PerterB, precisely
[13:30]<pnzvnzb>hmm, odd :)
[13:30]<symm>IvanR_, 5.10
[13:32]<symm>IvanR_, mount doesn't show it mounted.
[13:32]<ivrgr_>Ok. Which release? If the USB stick doesn't show up right away, vold might need a restart.
[13:33]<symm>vold is running
[13:34]<ivrgr_>I know vold had some updates for handling USB events, but don't know if that's make it back in to the normal solaris 10 updates.
[13:34]<ivrgr_>Do: "/etc/init.d/volmgt stop; /etc/init.d/volmgt start"
[13:34]<tnzxszfvzznz>Hello
[13:35]<symm>IvanR_, restarted. no change in mount output
[13:45]<ivrgr_>sidd: I'm stumped, you might want to try later in #opensolaris when there's more people around.
[13:46]<symm>ok. the same is happening with iprb (onboard) too. only, this time there is no entry in driver_aliases either
[13:47]<ivrgr_>What's the pci id of your iprb?
[13:54]<symm>IvanR_, it doesnt show anywhere. in linux(dual boot with solaris) it functions properly.
[13:55]<symm>how do i check if the value of a variable is null in solaris shell?
[13:56]<ivrgr_>Which shell? Old /bin/sh?
[13:56]<symm>IvanR_, /bin/bash
[13:57]<ivrgr_> if [ -z "$VAR" ]; then echo "VAR not set";fi
[13:57]<symm>i am writing a script to ask for a directory, create if it doesn't exist and indicate if it does. if the user just presses enter, it should take the default.
[13:58]<symm>heh, in linux, you don't have to give the quotes around $VAR
[13:58]<symm>how do i make echo -n work from a script?
[13:59]<symm>it works on the prompt all right. but from within a script it is printing -n as is.
[14:00]<ivrgr_>bash doesn't need them, but without it would fail on the old /bin/sh
[14:01]<symm>IvanR_, got it. i was running the script with the sh command :( had not chmod it to +x. now it works.
[14:01]<ivrgr_>echo -n should work in bash.
[14:01]<ivrgr_>Ah, ok
[14:03]<symm>so if i _have_ given #!/bin/bash in the script and run it as sh test.sh, it will not invoke bash?
[14:04]<ivrgr_>Right. /bin/sh on solaris is the original bourne shell.
[14:05]<ivrgr_>Other OSs just link bash to /bin/sh because they never had the original unix sh.
[14:05]<symm>ohh. still, doing things in linux is sooo easy. i am being forced to migrate to solaris :)
