I have something similar actually and I can tell you that the bumper itself was not photoshopped into that shape. That is a japanese car called a Mazda 3 and it is somewhat famous for it's happy face. this type is rare here :( I see another one maybe every week or so.

I was talking about the teeth in place of the grill, not the shape of the grill.

Mazda3s are pretty common in Australia.

The older model sedans have almost no boot space to speak of, the wagon will take an Onyx2 deskside easily.

No, but playing with Unlambda is great fun still [I've written interpreters in ML, Haskell and Hope, as well]

Nope and I dispute those languages are the currrent lingua franca of programming unless you are talking about *NIX based computing
I beg to differ. AFAIK, most open source code available today is written in C/C++ [q.v. SourceForge]. With a decent ANSI C compiler you can get it running on quite a few platforms, not just on *NIX based boxes. I gave up programming Windows in the early '80. z/Arch assembler source is rather rare today - I don't think too many care about it anyhow. And Java is junk.


Oskar, you don't have to defend that position - the first page, 3rd post of this topic, there link to current rankings of languages used by some survey. I suggest you gave up Windows Programming in the early 90s when Windows3.1 came out, 1980s was DOS and was the first widespread available release... and yes, Java is junk. "Your code is bad, it crashes the JVM..." "Oh really, I have to code in such a way that I have protect the infrastructure from itself..?? :? oh wow.. what a step forward". If crashing JVMs is not a problem explain products like Azul systems ZingJVM (also junk, IMHO).

I was still doing work on TSX-11, VMS, DOS, Concurrent DOS, MP/M-86 (*) and XEMIX in that era, No idead even Windows existed until early 1990s whenI I was building 386 and 486s PCs at a small shop.

R.

* and a few other things I don't clearly recall. There was all kinds of (often weird) DOS clones which were multi-user over thick ethernet and stuff.. Its all so long ago now and everything has changed so much. Other things like NeXT were completely absent and university still had a DECsystem-10 with teletypes...

Thanks for that suggestion, I'll pickup a null modem cable and run hyperterminal for diagnostics.
On another tack, I've been looking thru the wiki monitor list and noticed the Samsung multisyncs.
Will [i]any [/i] SOG monitor work or are there other considerations?
I need a larger lcd for other applications but if I could use it to first set up the toaster that would be a bonus.
This one on e-bay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-Syncmaster-2243BWX-22-16-10-LCD-Monitor-5-ms-Excellent-Condition-/260918596150?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_Monitors&hash=item3cbff5d236#shId
Here's the manual link http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/200905/20090526185745109/BN59-00950A-02Eng.pdf


I think most that can sync on green and in the range that SGIs put out, it will work. SGI branded monitors are a sure thing but I've had a few of the 20inch SGI rebranded Sony Trinatrons die on me (Dried out capacitors). Although a bit of hassle with MLAs, , FPAs, etc, your SGI 1600SW :1600SW: monitor is an excellent match for O2s, I think. If a monitor is sync on green and it doesn't work you would be pretty unlucky. I leave it up to the rest of the forum to discuss the merits of that particular model Samsung. I happen to be waiting on fx.64 to partition a 146Gb disk, on a quad 1GHz Tezro displaying on a Samsung SyncMaster 710T, but that is not a recommendation from me.

Aw shucks. Thanks. Someone said something like, want a punch then throw a punch. I try to be tolerant and as helpful as some here have been towards me... I hope I get the assistance I need with the "dead" o300 i have just been handed. I suspect from the fault report it will potentially make the serial mismatch issue seem like a cake walk.

But weren't you the one with the "does anyone know what you can do with a 128-processor Origin3000?" Perhaps not a RealityMonster, but close.


That machine was about as far from me as New York is from Miami. I did consider it but I did not have the space or money to ship it and I would have had to upgrade the power again to run it or find somewhere to house it. I think it was scraped :(

Check the ipaddress of the o300. These error messages look like network problems to me.
From memory at the ">>" prompt type "printenv", in any case type "help" and track down network options.

Uninstall SQ Lite 3 and Python module sql lite 3 and problem goes away.

I was in as root to do admin and install/remove software.

Please check that you do no break other packages when you create nekoware.

I have not found any reference to this in the forums but I guess it is self evident for most developers.

I haven't seen any nekoware updates lately and I think the problem has existed for a while now.

That worked! Doing an "auto" on it now.


Depending on the size of the disk, "auto" could take a very long time. I second the notion of "partition it as a root option (ro) drive".

This version does use IIOP 1.0, and I have had Java CORBA clients communicating with it. No SSL or security though.

I'm looking at ways of publishing the source at the moment, google code looks like a reasonable service.


github is another option.

Speaking of CORBA...

I was thinking about other middleware. ACE+TAO did build at certain versions on IRIX.
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html

I googled recently and there were mail list questions and solutions to build issues on IRIX for it.

SGI nroff is found in the Documenter's Workbench (DWB) product. Although IRIX overlays contain updates for it, the base DWB product was not actually included with IRIX, but was licensed as a separate product. See this thread for (slightly) more info: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=12765



Thanks.

I have created a couple of wiki entries to point back to tech pubs, and these two forum topics.
Hopefully someone else can come forward with more detail for those wiki entries later.

I was thinking ... (danger, Will Robinson. Danger ! Danger !) When a package is known to be bad, would it be better to ditch it entirely or to create a "known bad" directory it could be moved to so that maybe other people wouldn't have to start from scratch when packaging problem-child applications ?



I think it might be okay if you are doing SQL lite stuff in isolation. Might be better if people can find the answers easily.. It breaks firefox which includes everything including the kitchen sink. Modern software .. if it aint got a dozen depndancies... I don't know why my previous search was unsuccessful.

I have this book and the source code built on one of my machines here.. somewhere.

There is more example in IRIX itself in insight and those soft copy Oreilly books optional installs in IRIX 6.5... Volume 6B , etc...

You might want to change the file name to xhello.c or change the target and remember to put tabs not spaces before the $(CC) and rm lines...

I dabble, I've built a little software like ThisForth, swi-prolog , and Hercules mainframe emulator , played with lots and lots of nekoware (thanks contributors), I dabble in animation with lightwave, SoftImnage, Shake, Smoke, Flame, Blender, and other CG tools, run a a mediawiki (neko PHP and neko Postgres) and use them as huge heaters and to astound visitors touring the facility with the heat, noise, and blinking lights. When stuff builds cleanly its fun to throw 16 CPUs and 16Gb RAM at a build.. But even my desktop at work has 16Gb RAM (and two thunderbolt ports) these day... I use them for reliving the glory days when UNIX ruled and I dreamed of having access to stuff like this, even the SGIs I used at university or in construction of a military flight simulator were never as powerful as the SGIs I have now.

I dabble in Stereographics with Crystal Eyes Shutter glasses, and mess about with spaceballs .

Another use is to capture screenshots as I update the wiki ..



I think I have a shorter answer. I use my SGIs as an unbounded creative outlet, a cathartic release from the stresses and strains of work ( 1a ) and fighting with the publisher/editors on my programming book.

Get a piece of paper son, you'll need it in the real world. Even if you don't learn anything. Also I had a lecturer say you almost know more about this subject than I do, during one 3rd subject. Questions in class were always of the format "Can anyone else think of how or why ... " conversations in class were almost private conversations with the rest of the class struggling to try to keep up with why my answer was correct but the more optional or elegant way was .. The first (two week) assignment, I handed it in the next day after it was given nicely typeset in LaTeX, while the rest of the class was lining up to complain about how hard the assignment was. I got 100% for that one and the next few assignment were briefly glanced at, 100% written on it and given back to me straight away. I assure you I never felt penalized for getting ahead, quite the opposite.

On the topic of students. I went through university with some straight-"A" students who could quote directly anything in the course notes or text book but give them a real world practical topic and they were just clueless... I also knew other students who got average to better than average grades but had the ability to with little more than a paper clip and a few lines of anything from perl to assembler hack something together had power gloves and VR goggles in their dorm room, etc. Guess which ones got plush jobs and fast track to management.

I've talked with a well paid MSc in computer science who have never held a soldering iron or seen anything below the Java JVM and said as much.

1a . For the next few months I am doing poker machine stuff in C/C++, OpenGL on Linux. It is far less glamourous than you think.. After a fews days debugging/testing, I really can't understand how people would actually put money in those machines just to sit there for hours but I have been through the more remote parts of Nevada and even the PX'es on base have poker machines with people sitting there for hours.

I have never owned a Fuel but it is large Dallas 1742W . The same as what is in the Origin 300s from what I can tell from this wiki topic...

FWIW, I believe the Dallas can be reprogrammed. The "fix" for the serial number mismatch issue is to put in a blank Dallas chip in the r-brick and its gets programmed from the L2. But I suspect it might be compressed or encrypted.

I have a spare o3k r-brick programmed with security enforced Dallas chip taped inside the case of the r-brick if its needed.

The .Xdefaults (and the .Sgiresources config) and the .4Dwmrc all co-exist happily, however you are cautioned on examining carefully each of these if things don't seem to be working right. I found, for example, my ov config being restored after a logout/login because it was defined both .Xdefaults and .Sgiresources.

Looked into it. I don't have permission to edit the wiki, nor will I be applying for permission. If you have access to edit the wiki, I'd be much obliged if you'd make the changes.


There are links on the wiki that go back to how to edit wikipedia pages.
eg:
http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/Editing_the_Nekochan_Wiki
http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/Including_ ... n_the_wiki

Myself and nekonoko are admins of the wiki and we had something like 10 times more vandalism, spam and rubbish to clean up than actual contributions from members thus nekonoko set the wiki to update by members only.

Apply for membership (preferably with reference to your username on the forum), and myself or nekonoko generally notice it the request within a few hours and approve it.

I fixed the typo.

Hi R, hope you remember having a phone conversation with me late last year regarding IRIX boot problems I had. Well I've finally got it all sorted out now. I've installed all the 'xtdigvid' software etc and all seems to work ok on my Tezro, but I seem to be having some trouble with the VBOB (DmediaPRO) box.
I have wired it up according the the book I have and seem to be able to test and reset it from the Tezro, but I can't seem to get a picture to route through it. Do you know any quick commands that I could use (logged into the vbob from the serial port) to do a quick configure of the VBOB?

Also, I seem to be missing the 'Breakout Cable' that connects to the PCI card on the back of the Tezro via a DB15 pin to 4 BNC's suppyling R,G,B and Black!


This is from someone I asked to join the forums and post their problems here. So far, it seems easier to just email me about.

I have no time and even less patience these days.

I'm looking to attach a rack disk array to my Octane. Searching in auction sites (it must be cheap) I found a lot of Fibre Channel arrays from LSI, Hitachi or EMC.

Is any brand of SCSI disk arrays? Yes, I know the Sun StorEdge but I want something like LSI or SGI TP900. Unfortunately it seems that there are very few and very expensive TP900. Maybe have I to change the QLA12160 to Qlogic FC?
What do you think?

Thanks.


I have an High Voltage differential OriginVault (1a) connected to an IBM 7025-F80 and a few "flame style" stones and a clarion FC array as well as the stones connecteed to the Smoke/Flame Tezro.. My problem with fiber is it seems far more brittle. Make sure you learn the commands "scsicontrol" to stop drives, etc. (1b)

I take what I can get my hands on, cheaply and easily... Other people wait until they can get just what they want in terms of speed and a capacity. I think a far better option is gigabit networking and nice modern NAS with a few Tb of shiny, newer, faster drives.

Well, I'm not sure a billion pages of tracking data is useful to even the most sophisticated data mining program ...

At least, it does on a slow connection. Try checking out "view page source" and then searching for .js. It's ugly out there ! Killing those addresses (and a bunch more) has dropped my fireflop crashes in half, or maybe more.

Back at the OK Corral, was doing a quick attempt at mxshowfont. It seemed useful. Compiled fine except that
Code:
gmake: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libXt.sa.4.10', needed by `mxshowfont'.  Stop.

Grr. Something missing in the Makefile ? libXt.sa.4.10 should be a stub ? So I tried butchering things by making a link to libXt.a and renaming it to libXt.sa.4.10 which caused the app to compile. The binary opens but then crashes immediately with a "bus memory error", which seems to indicate that was not a very effective fix :P

Suggestions ?



run the application under dbx or gdb. when it crashes type soemthing like:

In gdb:
Code:
thread apply all where


or just..

Code:
where


This should start you on the path to something called "debugging"... It might give you a few hints..

You might want to read the dbx or gdb documentation, find other fun things to try like printign out values of variables and things like that.

rem wrote:
I just picked up a 43p-150 to complement my pseries 630. I have AIX 5.3 installed and it's working pretty well. My only issue is the time it takes from me turning the machine on to actually seeing the IBM logo screen(this is even before AIX starts to boot). Is this normal? I didn't time it, but I am guessing it is about 4minutes from the moment I press the power button to actually seeing the IBM logo(and the hit "2" to use this console). After that, AIX boots up fairly quickly. If this is normal, is there any way to speed things up?


Normal.

I was doing AIX device driver debugging in the mid 1990s and boot time was 12 minutes in total, after taking note of the stack trace and hitting the power.. Even my 9114-275 takes I think about 5 to 7 minutes. My 7025 F80 takes considerable time also, possibly longer.

An AIX machine in a production environment is meant to be turned on and left running. When they are powered they do an inordinate amount of deep diagnostic checks. It goes through check points, if it stops at some point, the code on the LCD will tell you exactly where to look in the documentation. You tend to know when something is broken on a RS/6000.

You could try limiting the diagnostic checks in the boot options but I think literally decades ago I tried that and it didn't buy me much.

Can you install tardists on an iPad now ? Cool !

The "m" was a fatfinger. Supposed to be an n. Clicked from the nekochan list of mirrors, anyhow. Can you get there from Australia ? Our connections here behind the bamboo wall are often crappy.


He wouldn't know... They have no kangaroos in Austria, but you can go ice skating in Mozart Platz in Winter.
Just don't mention the war or the econmoics of the Weimar Republic (eg the book "When money dies" ).

Thanks in advance.


Octane 200 does not exist. Orign 200 exists or Octane2 exists.

3D Studio was a DOS application. 3D Studio Max is/was a Windows application.
Maya, LightWave are not dependant on the hardware version but the IRIX version.
From memory I have maya 6.5 and LW 5.6 and a few other minor graphics applications running on IRIX 6.5.
A modern or even not so modern PC or Mac would eat an IRIX based SGI for lunch when it comes to pushing 3D polygons around. Even a quad 1GHz with v12 and 8Gb RAM has a hard time keeping up with a few generations old Mac... And you get 1/10th the add-on features on IRIX and new newer applications like Z brush or Modo.

SGIs are fun to play with but don't get your expectations up on any 3D applications.

Wrote on the subject of Intellistation 9112-265 AIX boot hang on missing NFS at Feb. 21, 2012, 11:54 a.m...
Hi.
The DVD-ROM drive in my Linux 9114-275 is dead and my new 9112-265 boots AIX to a point where it brings up the CDE hour glass and spews a lot of stuff about a NFS server that does not exist and never gets to a dtlogin. I don't hold any hope that the 265 DVD-ROM would in any kind of shape either. The general build quality of the Intellistation machines is not that great compared to server RS/6000s.

I have been thinking about taking the drive out of the 265 and mounting it on my AIX based 7025 F80 and editing stuff to a point where it would work and then returning the drive to the 265. Or maybe making the F80 a boot server for a network install if that is possible with AIX.

Smit or other commands to do this..?
Files to edit...?
Other suggestions...?

madmax wrote: Hi,

I have 4 Altix 350 nodes bought off ebay, one is specced with disks and an IO9 card, the others are barebones just containing CPUs and RAM.

I am using the L2 emulator running on a linux box to provide access to the console of the units.

On its own, the unit with the IO9 card works just fine, but once i connect any of the other units using numalink cables (no router, just cables) i get a system serial mismatch. ..

It seems that the 3 barebones units have the same serial, while the unit with the IO9 has a different system serial and consequently they won't link up.

Is there anything i can do, or will i have to move the cards, risers and disks from that unit to one of the others and operate the altix with just 3 nodes?

On another note, they also have mismatched firmwares which seem to be fairly old. Is it possible to get the updated firmware anywhere, at least to bring the machines all up to the same revision?


There is a section in the wiki on L2 commands ... http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/L1_and_L2_Commands
The "serial clear" command on the L1 of the problem brick responds with what for you...?

I have never seen an Altix but knowing a little about NUMAlink the if serial clear doesn't work with "system serial mismatch" then it might mean you have to do a little hardware hacking...
The MIPS based Origin 300 is obviosuly diffent from Altix but I removed the DS-1742W-120 from mine and replaced them with new ones..
http://www.nekochan.net/wiki/Use_a_rbri ... Origin_300
Look at the "See also" section for links back to forum topics, particualrily viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16724099&start=0
I think you might be covering new ground here, but if you understnad how the issue is resolved on the MIPS systems then you'll have an idea how investigate the problem on Altix systems.

Bonne chance..!
