But it's tiny and cheap and you can flog it to death without any bad result.

A cheap simple dinghy like that is great. Best toy I've had in my whole life, maybe.

Morphine. But the generally-advised method is just a plastic bag, sealed at the bottom, and a non-oxygen-bearing gas. People commonly use propane and helium.

More interesting (to me, anyhow) is that people can't last more than a couple days without water. So just take a long walk somewhere interesting, and watch the sun set.

Just no Robin Williams. Tacky. Very tacky. The no-talent bitch wasn't worth it.

I was real happy with the N900 physically. And some of the software was pretty neat, but overall it is a pos. Full control over the device without that maemo garbage might make it into what it could have been.

If they don't have the problems the Nokia did (can't charge the battery ? Who thought that one up ?) then the price could be reasonable for a phone that you can actually make do what you want. Not something that fricking imbecile Jonny Ive thinks is kewl, d00d.

A little update ... wow, how time flies.

For the people who are newish and want to rush to 6.5.30 instantly, well .... maybe for a quick look but imo you aren't going to get the good SGI experience that way.

As above, installed a very basic absolutely no-frills desktop then added just the stuff I needed. That was good. Real good. Not as fast as a 2 x 800 O350 but not that much slower.

Slowly added just the tools and programs I need and that is also good. No steenkin' dpnxagent makes Photosnot and Illustrious run better.

Just now got done ditching all the superfluous fonts. At 6.5.23 and above it's a real mess but even at 21 / 22, there's a bunch of crap. Why would I want two couriers and three Helvetica lookalikes ? And what's this Swiss 721 ? Just crap. Dumb. Have ten fonts and uses em all, is what I say.

Okay, you need the base Type1 fonts because PostScript printers are an absolute necessity. But beyond that it's bye-bye bitstream entirely ( Adobe is disgusting but at least they don't sneak into the house in a sheep suit then bite the children) , bye-bye schumacher clean, bye-bye cruft. xfontsel went from 996 fonts to about 500. And oh yeah, the SGI cutesy fonts (Cave, Rock, Inja, Amie) are disgusting ! All gone. Since quite a few programs load the font list every time they start up, this is a snappiness improvement. Just a little one but 100 times a day adds up.

Now to add a selected few quality fonts that will actually get used :

http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/dynaweb ... /ch03.html

My Octane is a 2x4, I'd imagine that an O2 or slower Oct would be slowed down even more by hundreds of pointless fonts. So far pretty nice. Back to the future


edit: here's another little feature that can add some excitement to your life : you probably don't have any Speedo or CID fonts. There's a couple in Irix 6.5.22, not sure if they were there earlier. So, what the heck, ditch them suckers.

No problem. Except when you decide to clean everything up and do it properly, so you clean out the fonts.dir and fonts.alias files. In fact, since there's no fonts in there now, you delete it. Then do a <mkfontdir> but since there's no fonts, it makes no fonts.dir file.

Doesn't seem like a problem, right ? Everything is fine.

Until you reboot. It seems that X is not smart enough to get past a directory with no fonts.dir file. Even if there's nothing in the directory and no fonts there that you have ever used, will ever use, or would even consider using, that fonts.dir file best be there or X will not start.

Oops.

A fonts.dir file with nothing but a 0 (that's a zero, not an O) will work. The error mesages are not too helpful either - it's something like "cannot set the fontpath to /usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/lib/X11 ..." etc etc. Then the error message after that is "cannot find fixed font, cannot start x" or words to that effect. Another misleading clue from the parents, the easter eggs are really in the laundry room, under the dryer ! Ha ha ha, fooled you !

Luckily, the computer boots, it just doesn't have any X, so you can telnet or rlogin and fix things. A < touch fonts.dir > won't work tho, it has to have at least 0 in it.

More adventures in Irixland ....

Oh. I also know a guy here who was one of the "buy Chinese stocks, it's a booming economy, I tell you ! Just BOOMING ! Get in now !" shysters. But there were so many of them that he couldn't make any headway. So he did a Wendell and used his brain

The Chinese stock market is a fraud. So is the US one now but that's another subject. 90% of the companies on the China market are two guys in a phone booth calling in lies. So (name redacted) would choose one - any one - and buy short. Then he would expose them. It was easy - these "booming" companies with volume exceeding three million rmb a day were actually a shack in the boonies with two guys sleeping in the gate house and five workers. One delivery truck per week. He'd just go there and take photos and keep a log for a week.

Then it was pretty obvious that with three employees and one Yuen Tong delivery per week, that company was unlikely to be doing 60 million rmb/month. The stock would crash, he'd make a pile and go on to the next expose, while carefully telling people that "oh no, this is very uncommon, this was a fluke, an anomoly, a rogue player."

My ass. They are all thieves. If it involves finance, it's a lie. He had a never-ending source of income as long as the greedy idiots buying stock didn't catch on.

That's not by choice, you know. I don't want to sound negative but let's face facts ... nekoware is in a rather shabby state these days. There's over 160 tardists in /beta that no one has bothered to comment on, there's now issues with programs in current that require libraries that are still in beta, several of the best tardissters have apparently given up due to a total lack of response and gone away .... it's kind of sad but that's life.

"Who will help me plant the wheat ?" asked the little red hen ...

Thanks, y'all. I will try burning a late-model Debian. I'm hoping that this was just a problem with the live CD being circumscribed by size or something. At least it saw the VIA chipset, which is what I was most worried about.

And I would not have been amazed if Centos did start up xfs as a "service" ... everything else is a systemD thingy. NFS is a "service" in Solaris ... but I'm not going to try it again and take notes, not worth the effort

I'm a little surprised that no one has tried to rescue an xfs disk under Loonix when your last SGI box went kerblooey ? If it ever works, this could be a practical way for people to kill the password problem, too. SCSI instead of sata but same principle.

foetz wrote: maybe most guys have at least one other sgi

Only the 3x series can read sata

Had an Octane and an O2, the O2 fried itself. Can't blame it too much, summer weather gets pretty hot. But the Octane got replaced by a Fuel.

The Fuel was faster, when it decided to boot. Picked up an O300, that one was reliable but no graphics. V-bricks and X-bricks are rare. So it got 'upgraded' to an O350.

When the Fuel finally ran out of spare parts and decided it was never going to start again, I transferred the drives to the O350. Then the boot disk started getting flaky. Got another. Backed up the booter. After a week or two the second one got flaky. Well shit. Must be a fake. Put the first one back in, it was okay for a few days. It went flaky again, bought a brandy-brand new disk. It got flaky. Mr Stupid here (me) thought he was having a batch of bad disks.

Uhh, no. Hauled the Octane out of the closet and got 'er running. The 'flaky" disks were fine. It was the O350 that was flaky.

It's now up in the loft. The Fuel went into the garbage can and I plan to inflict the dead O2 on some poor unsuspecting victim as soon as practical.

If the Octane dies, it's 'fuck this shit' for me .... so far, the Octane and the Indigo (1) have been my most reliable SGI's. 99 times out of 100 those two boot up.

or backups

Have two disks. One is the data and the other is the backup. XFS is a very reliable file system - if you have something that can read it

jimmer wrote: Really? a whole box going Kerbooey?

See above

For me it's never the box itself, it's always a drive. For example, that time when the 9Gb drive in my first O2 died. Which was extra super mega annoying as I had just moved a great deal of data on to it from ZIP-disks and other 'iffy'-media in order to bakkittupp to CD.

Yeah, I had a three-drive (4.5 gb each) software raid that I had just replaced with a new big 18 gb drive. During the data-transfer process something went kerblooey.

Isn't there a law about that ? "Things will always go wrong at the worst possible time" ?

Three varieties of live CD dloading now. Let's see what happens ...

foetz wrote: ah sure, that's a special case since sata is not "real" sgi

Seems kinda real, it's xfs But yeah, it's not classic, that's true ...

Now for the good news : yes, it is possible to read an Irix xfs disk from Loonix. Even better, you can use a live CD to rescue the files, so you don't have to dedicate an entire computer to this. It's reasonably easy, more or less.

I grabbed a few of what they call "small" distributions. Do you remember when people snivelled about OS/2 coming on 22 floppies ? Anyway, didn't feel like downloading three or four 700 mb files when I had no faith they would work, so went for the minimals.

Finnix - based on Debian ? - command line system, not bad, mounted the disk easily, set a static ip easily, it wasn't annoying, thought I was all set. Then I discovered there was no ftp. It includes 'lftp' but no ftp !! Oh goody ! I gave lftp a few minutes, then I pulled the disk out and frisbeed it into the trash. Finnix has now been deprecated.

grbl or something, wouldn't boot, broke the disk then tossed the pieces into the trash. grbl is deprecated too.

Ubuntu-Rescue. Went to mount the disk, it wouldn't let me be root, frisbeed that into the trash too. But I only d-loaded three, so went back to the trash and pulled it out, put up with those dipshits and their 'sudo' fixation long enough to do < sudo passwd root > and get away from their mentally-retarded little games. Similar to Finnix but HAS FTP ! Man, this is cool !

It would, however, be even more cool if the ip I gave the interface would stick for more than three minutes. That's likely to make transferring 500 gb sort of unpleasant.

So I'm back to the download search. There must be one reliable 'distro' that actually has ftp and can hold onto it's ip for ... oh, I dunno. Ten minutes would be an improvement.

But it is possible. That's good. Real good. About as pleasant as hanging from an airplane by a rope in your teeth, flying over a lake of hungry crocodiles, but with great rewards comes great aggravation.

If I ever complain about Irix again, someone slap me.

foetz wrote: as for the actual problem, how about giving an ordinary debian a try? i could read efs cds with it maybe that's a sign?

It would probably work, the debian-based shorties I tried could mount the disk and read the files, they were just obnoxious to use.

I hesitate to say this, because it is truly annoying with a lot of "Buy Windows Washer Today !" "Buy Windows Virus Cleaner !" ads laid under the text, and it has this annoying logo underneath the screen that you can't read over very well, but the Trinity Rescue CD was the quickest and most professional (except for the stupid advertisements.) It was easy to set a static ip and the o.s. kept ! the ip. It had ftp. Next time I use it I may try to just set it up to share the whole disk. It was noticeably quicker than the Ubuntu and Finnix disks, too.

I hate to shill for these people 'cuz it felt kind of slimy to use, but it worked the best. And it's only about 150 mb. You could probably fit it onto one of those tiny CD's.

And it isn't 'hosted' at Sourceforge, so you can actually get it.

The other thing I found out was, I don't need the internet anymore. I must have about half of it already

So, in conclusion ladies and germs, if you have a sata disk built under Irix and your Irix machine blows itself sky-high, you aren't screwed. You can rescue it with a Loonix Live CD, don't even need to humiliate your computer with a permanent install. And it works pretty good. The BSD's should work as well, I would guess.

I bet this would work with scsi, also. Password removal, here's another method.

the oracle at wikipedia wrote: RHEL 6.0 includes XFS support for a fee ...

Perhaps that explains why my Centos live CD did not want to mount the disk ? Perhaps it was from that timeframe when xfs was an extra-cost addon to that particular free and open source linux ? No biggy now, the trinity rescue works okay and probably a lot of others do, too.


Meanwhile, back at the ranch, tried one other thing ... had an elderly xfs disk lying around that might have had some stuff deleted long ago that might have been worthwhile. As you know, there's no undelete for xfs. If you don't know that, you're smarter than me.

But there is a program from Mother Roosha called Raise Data Recovery. So I grabbed the demo, left the disk plugged into it ovenight, and it found a ton of deleted stuff. The demo only undeletes deleted files that are smaller than 64kb, so I tried that and it worked okay. There was nothing on the disk so great that I wanted to spend the $20 to register but if you did have something important that was accidentally deleted, this program is worth trying.
