The collected works of ClassicHasClass - Page 23

According to the IBM specs I have, the 285 needs DDR2 533MHz ECC.

I have no idea if it still works on Tru64 5.1. The documentation only talks about 4.0.

I'm suspecting the packet filter, but I don't know how to debug it.

That's what I'm thinking too. I haven't gotten around to it yet.

$2600? Mine are running about $4800 for a T1.

Don't impugn the memory of Lunix: http://hld.c64.org/poldi/lunix/lunix.html

I guess "bigred" would have to become "mediumred" if that happened

It recognizes and honours its elders.

I assume you need at least three, one for each of the two nameservers and one for the site itself? I'm CTO for the website soyouvebeendumped.com and we've always run it out of various ISP's datacenters, and it's always been a nightmare, I'd dearly love to run it from my basement the way you've always run this happy little insane asylum...

Dunno about Pete, but my T1 is ultimately Megapath (it's actually via DSL Extreme via COVAD). I get 16 IPs, though three are reserved including one for the T1 router. I use Netsol as the nameserver for Floodgap, though I used to run it locally. I imagine the business DSL/business Ethernet deals are similar.

That said, if I didn't have a need for home monitoring, I'd probably buy a slice and run it off of that.

No idea. I use an old EtherTalk-era Netatalk on my 1.5.2 NetBSD IIci. (1.6 wrecked EtherTalk.)

hamei, you can post those videos now!

Cool! I'd like to grab that.

foetz is the guy to ask.

So to answer the above question: you still need the CD, because the FEP .ilod is loaded from it (even if you have the Breath of Life). And the reason I can answer the question?

I'm going to reconfigure it again because 201MW of swap seems incredibly excessive and it's impairing me making a nice fat LMFS partition in the filer, but at least now I know it will work. Final configuration of the MegaLispMac:

- Macintosh IIci, recapped
- System 7.1 (my preference)
- 64MB RAM
- AppleCD 150 1x CD-ROM (300 didn't work)
- MacIvory 3 with RAM board
- Apple Ethernet NuBus board (might change out, Genera is having trouble talking to it)
- DayStar Digital 50MHz '030 PDS accelerator (I had in stock)
- Apple 8*24*GC accelerated video, in 1152x870 mode (I had in stock)

This hobby is too damn expensive, but at least it's working now, and I'm actually rather enjoying learning the Symbolics way.

Oh, yeah, totally. Nothing can go wrong with this plan. I will start with modeling an old West gunslinger.

I've stuck with 0.9.8zzzzzzalphapluralalphawhateverthefrickitisatnow for that reason.

I have a HEPA filter in the office going full blast and it still gets dusty, but I'm going to blame that on the cat and her litter box in the laundry room next door.

Tru64 never goes out of style.

Yes, you need to preprocess the file into sendmail.cf. I usually just handwrite my sendmail rules, but I'm certifiable.

Well!

"as a build machine for firefox."

Reeeeeeally. What version?

The only problem with the IBM is I'd need the HMC to go with it

Gawd, yes. I hate that. I fortunately do have an HMC for the p520, which I have to drag out periodically when I need to futz with the master LPAR (I'll have to do this shortly because I'm upgrading the RAM).

Don't use huepl, the guy who wrote it is a total dork.

Anyway, what's the firmware on your base station? It's possible it changed -- both my base stations are very early FW because they've never connected to Philips, so they've never been updated. What does 'huepl lights' say? Are these standard hue lights or are they the "non-colour" ones only?

Also, if you pass -superverbose to huepl, you can see the raw JSON going back and forth over the wire, which could be handy.

That's the problem: I even didn't thought that there are non-colour ones. And my ones are the Hue Lux (exactly these non-colour ones). My fault

Yep, that's them. At some point I should add code to detect this. You should be able to change colour temperature at least though -- 'huepl ct xxx'

If that works, then it's probably working fine on IRIX (though the fact you can do everything else strongly implies it is, in fact, working correctly).

Tried it. It doesn't even want to run -- I think the binary format is different.

So back to square one.

Interesting. Well, at least the brightness does!

I guess I'm the only one who still writes OpenMotif apps for OS X, or at least the only one that cares, but IST OpenMotif is broken on El Crapitan because of SIP. It expects to write to /usr and you can't do that anymore.

Before you all say "disable rootless protection" it's pretty clear to me Apple's not going to support that forever, and while I think SIP is a good idea executed badly, it's obviously here to stay. But IST doesn't want to make further updates, so I patched their last two releases of OpenMotif to live in /Applications (which is not under SIP) and be linkable from there. You can get it and all the development headers and libraries for 10.4 or 10.5-10.11, PowerPC (natch) or i386.

There are no other changes other than to rewrite the dylib linking to its new home, and a bit of monkeypatching on one of the dylibs for the new path. If you were using Mosaic-CK or GopherVR and want to update those,

I'd love to see a photo of the setup.

Convinced the campus that all the printers would require a nickel per page.

I got the same error. Assuming you're running the 8.18 executable, the problem is that the VM settings are probably too low. The vm stanza in /etc/sysconfigtab looks like this on my 5.1B system:

Then we've got to have done something differently. Do you have everything locally installed? This is the part I can't get past, which is the exact commands given in the install guide:



At this point I pressed Meta-Shift-A, to see if it would pull the stuff from CD over NFS. It still doesn't:



FWIW, NFS is working fine. Here's the view from harlan. I made everything intentionally weak and open to everyone to eliminate that as a factor.



And here's the view from another host trying to mount the CD-ROM:



So what gives?

Okay, then I'll just copy everything over to /var/lib/symbolics and see what happens.

Haven't gotten a chance yet (darn Master's degree).

Sounds like an issue with the standard library? Are you not including the right header?

If I didn't have a couple spare Fuel systems with PSUs I could raid, I would definitely buy this.

Nice restoration! Looking forward to you posting the formal hinv.

Most of my machines are on a secured network that can't route (directly) to the Internet. Only a few have outside facing NICs, and none of them are the SGIs.

CPU PPC970MP 2.3GHz - Is this dual CPU?

Yes (more accurately it's dual core). This is the fastest air-cooled G5. The earlier dual processor 2.3 is slightly slower but has a better reliability track record, though both are solid machines.

IMHO, only the DP (and DC) 2.3 and the Quad are worth owning, the 2.3 because it's easier to maintain and less prone to problems, and the Quad because, well, it's the Quad.

I have not heard good things about Linux on the G5, mostly due to various things about the cooling system not being properly driven by the kernel. I'm sticking with Tiger on mine. If the fan is going gangbusters in it, it might just be Linux. Wouldn't hurt to refresh the thermal paste though.

Since we're updating this, I have the HMC for the POWER6 now (which is a x86 IBM system), and of course a ThinkPad 800.

Just a Sun Ultra-3 laptop, which works great, even though it will cook testicles into meatballs if you use it on your lap.

The Solbourne S3000 probably qualifies, but it's sick and won't boot.

Not exactly OT but I've found recent versions of Firefox to be almost unusable on my Linux box,

Another reason to prefer the ESR builds.
Also, TenFourFox FTW.
