Hi I am new to IRIX and wondering if anyone can provide instructions on upgrading from IRIX 6.5.19 to 6.5.22 using the SGI supportfolio.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I was able to find the 5086 patch and 6.5.22 overlays but none of the browsers on my O2 (netscape and firefox) are supported by the Sgi site anymore. I attempted to install a newer one from the Sgi freeware site and get a plethora of conflicts which I am having trouble resolving. Not sure what distro to use when resolving themor if there is any other way to proceed. Can anyone provide any advice on how to proceed?

Thanks

What ftp client does IRIX use? I have the freeware discs that came with IRIX (if there is a ftp client on them) but am getting tons of conflicts when trying to install them any suggestions?

I acquired a Indigo r4k sometime ago that was giving the TOD clock error, which I managed to fix with by replacing the battery only to discover there was a prom password. I managed to successfully clear the password by removing and reseating the eeprom chip. As expected the mac address reverted to ff:ff...... and I am unsure if the mac address can be reset on a r4k indigo or how to set the clock from the command monitor. IRIX is not bootable yet but I am working on that.

Any ideas on setting the mac address and clock?

Also hinv is showing IP20 R4000 at 75mhz but when I run diagnostics I am seeing IP20 R4400 at 150mhz. Not sure which is correct.

The Indigo had a prom password on it and the guy I got it from had never used it and didn't know what it was. So last resort I took a chance and pulled the eeprom and used the resetpw command to clear the password, it worked however as a side effect this clears the mac address. The address is on the chassis but I am unsure how to add it again, not that I will probably be needing it, but I am fairly new to IRIX and I do not know if this will cause issues installing or starting IRIX. It still has the original XZ4000 badges on the front so I think it was originally a IP20 but it has probably changed hands a lot over the years so who knows.

Any and all help is appreciated.

That would be awesome but unfortunately I am on Prince Edward Island in Canada, and as far as I have been able to determine am the only one on the island who owns any or has any interest in Silicon Graphics computers.

Does anyone know what monitors can be used with an indigo? I know that Sgi systems need sync on green compliant monitors and I have one Silicon Graphics Crt which works fine with a 13w3 adapter but none of my other Crt's or Lcd monitors even produce a image, SOG or not. I also have several O2's which work on the non SOG monitors albeit a green tinted image. Is this normal behaviour or is something wrong?

Bad 13w3?

But what about for the indigo? The only monitor I have that works with it is a Silicon Graphics Crt. None of my Crts or LCD monitors (which work fine on my O2's and everything else) even produce an image with the indigo.
I am wondering if this is normal behavior for the indigo or maybe a bad 13w3 adapter.

Hi I am trying to install some nekoware for the first time on my Sgi O2 which I just updated to IRIX 6.5.22. I tried installing the DiePleneten and Reallyslick screensaver and am running into errors while trying to run the programs (RSS I doubt will run on my O2 R5k but I was willing to try). . I ftp transferred the files from my server to the O2, untarred the files and used swmanager to install them, which as far as I can tell worked (no conflicts anyway). IRIX is still new to me, I usually use ubuntu, lubuntu or any windows version so I'm sure its something I'm doing wrong, but if anyone can provide any advice it would be appreciated.
