[00:16]<lysxsljrrn>nstary: that has _nothing_ to do with solaris, surely
[00:16]<gsvzzd>quick joke
[00:17]<lysxsljrrn>lol
[01:16]<xrfy>hm, have they released a new t1000 with dual disks..
[01:52]<ayda>Hello Solaris anyone around ?
[01:52]<lwzz>yeah
[01:52]<pzvzyac_c>all dead
[01:52]<ayda>Just working on a new machine with an Athlon 64 x2
[01:53]<ayda>The only indication I see that its running 64-bit is small '64-bit' at startup
[01:53]<lwzz>psrinfo doesnt tell you anything ?
[01:54]<ayda>did not know about that command ..thanks :)
[01:55]<ayda>The motherboard is an Asus m2n32, it has an Nvidia '590
[01:55]<ayda>chipset
[01:56]<ayda>I think a Marvell driver might get the network working
[02:05]<ayda>is anyone running amd64 ?
[02:07]<augyw-jvxnz>where can i find root's path on Solaris 10?
[02:07]<augyw-jvxnz>is it in the /etc/skel/
[02:07]<dygnzrfn>how can I tell what speed / how many processors are running on sol5.9 ?
[02:07]<ayda>echo $PATH
[02:07]<dygnzrfn>*err, how many processors it has
[02:07]<augyw-jvxnz>kimc: how do i add a path to it?
[02:08]<ayda>ehh.. wish my Solaris machine was setup to run just now.. do you have /.profile ?
[02:09]<augyw-jvxnz>kimc: if i do, i don't know where it is, i looked in the opbivous places, would i need to chnage /etc/skel/.profile?
[02:10]<ayda>minerale: pwgr just mentioned psrinfo re a processor
[02:11]<ayda>junix-other: I'm just back to Solaris 10 2-days since a previous life -10 years ago soo..
[02:11]<ayda>I wouldn't be for knowin /etc/skel :)
[02:12]<ayda>Do you login as root or su ?
[02:13]<augyw-jvxnz>su - root
[02:14]<augyw-jvxnz>kimc: how would you do it on any other Unix OS?
[02:14]<ayda>Try /etc/profile
[02:14]<ayda>I wouldnt' suggest logging in as root but Solaris will let you do it by default
[02:16]<ayda>When you load Solaris 10 cd images off the Sun site and do a 'standard 'install
[02:16]<dygnzrfn>thanks kimc
[02:16]<aj_z0>junix-other: It's set as SUPATH for all shells in /etc/default/login
[02:17]<aj_z0>For any given shell, it may be changed in different system-wide and user-specific places. RTFM for your shell, however...
[02:17]<aj_z0>First, leave root alone. Do not change anything. If you changed something, then put it back how it was. Remove all dot files from /
[02:17]<aj_z0>If you really must have a comfy custom UID 0 environment for those long admin-and-only-admin sessions, with a fancy shell, then create a second UID 0 account (toor) with a separate HOME (/root) and your choice of shell and put your shell profile and rc script(s) in there
[02:17]<aj_z0>The root account is for systems administration. If you're logged in as root and not doing systems administration, then you are doing something wrong.
[02:17]<aj_z0>Systems administration does not include running a desktop.
[02:18]<ddzczzvnzc>AJ_Z0: sure it does - the wooden kind ;)
[02:19]<ayda>Is anyone running amd64 ?
[02:29]<augyw-jvxnz>AJ_Z0: i need to add a pth for pkg-get
[02:33]<aj_z0>junix-other: No you don't, you need to use sudo or RBAC and have your user environment set up
[02:33]<augyw-jvxnz>ok
[02:34]<augyw-jvxnz>i am just now getting into solaris, so forgive me
[02:40]<ayda>junix-other: what kind of hardware are you using (ot)
[02:45]<ayda>helo aLeSD
[02:46]<ayda>anyone running OpenSolaris ?
[02:47]<mnfnwys>OpenSolaris is not an operating system.
[02:48]<ayda>Ok an OpenSolaris distribution ?
[02:48]<rlnsd>hi
[02:48]<ayda>heh
[02:48]<mnfnwys>kimc: absolutely.
[02:48]<ayda>Which do you like ?
[02:48]<mnfnwys>Solaris Express.
[02:49]<mnfnwys>a non-Sun OpenSolaris distribution isn't exactly something that appeals to me, specifically.
[02:49]<mnfnwys>but there are quite a few people who use Bellenix and Nexenta
[02:50]<sfjwzjvx>can someone please suggest a good book or document on x-windows configuration and maintnance?
[02:51]<pury>I'd start with the manpages and google
[02:53]<sfjwzjvx>fugi: well, the problem is that all this looks a bit confusing. there are xdm, kdm, dtlogin, "xyz" or whatever, then "xhost vs xauth" ... can't get that alone. a book would help. ;-)
[02:54]<ayda>fugi: which Solaris are you running ?
[02:57]<pury>why, are you going to ask me if I run amd64 after I answer?
[03:04]<augyw-jvxnz>kimc:Sun Blade 100
[03:08]<ayda>Wixh I had Sun Blade :)
[03:09]<augyw>kimc: i got for a steal
[03:10]<ayda>I'd like to get the x86-64 version running
[03:10]<ayda>Ok the the steal that great
[03:11]<ayda>Looks like Express is listed as x86 Platform
[03:11]<ayda>I'm downloading it now..
[03:13]<ayda>Ok fugi I won't ask you if you're running amd64 :)
[03:51]<adjgc_oq>hey anyone know how to fix a gcc error: cc1: error: invalid option `t'
[03:51]<adjgc_oq>im compiling something via ./configure script and gmake
[03:51]<ygsjdgyr>nope
[03:51]<ygsjdgyr>but you might try not using the -t option
[03:55]<adjgc_oq>its actually -mt but im not sure where to disable this since its a configure script build
[03:55]<ygsjdgyr>sounds like it was intended for Linux.
[03:56]<adjgc_oq>ya
[03:56]<adjgc_oq>its FOSS
[03:56]<ygsjdgyr>Solaris isn't Linux.
[03:56]<adjgc_oq>yes but u can still compile things on solaris
[03:57]<ygsjdgyr>of course.
[03:57]<ygsjdgyr>are you a coder?
[03:57]<adjgc_oq>yes
[03:57]<adjgc_oq>im trying to find the option in the source
[03:57]<ygsjdgyr>then why can't you fix your -t error?
