Hi

has anyone here any interest to help me by doing a 600mhz O2 cpu upgrade for me? I have an R5200 cpu module in a system spare. Let me know how much money you want. Might get a few done.

i'm bidding. i only need two so happy to share. lets not bid against each I'm normally in the uk

Right won the PMC-Sierra cpu's. Next need the PROM from Xilinx (XC1765ELS08C) plus the programmer for the PROM. Where do we get the PROM code to download? Does anyone have a number of RM5200 boards to upgrade? I've three in machines.

I've bought the 89 cpu chips and also a few R5200 cpu's. Does someone want to assist with the PROM flashing and soldering? Who's in the UK?

What are the command line options to use this? Mine opens shows a splash screen, creates the .backgrounds file then pretty closes.

I have the 600MHz cpu chips now and a few R5200 cpu boards to upgrade. Who wants one? I need to get programmed PROM chips for these CPU's also. Anyone lend a hand?

All boards are 300MHz which I have. Missing the prom which I couldn't find also need assistance programming them

yes thats the idea. I'll do a load of mods and offer them here. I need the programed proms though

i didnt get it to work either

no lives didnt compile. I dont have the install media for premier.

did anyone ever try out NO:Magic? Any idea what the email of the software vendor is? the domain is dead for the website now.

Thanks I downloaded the file but what about a license ?

I want to do a batch of upgrades soon. Anyone going to assist with the prom issue?

Yes I saw the same first thing i tried was the owners domain. Gave up in the end.

Kinda sucks as there was genuine interest. Should just have put a price on it and ran with it

Still wanting to find someone to handle the upgrade for me. Anyone want to do this for some money? I have the CPU modules to upgrade and new 600mhz processors. Lacking the prom and resistors plus time to do the work.

Hi I believe its a Xilinx PROM http://www.xilinx.com part number XC1765ELS08C

Fancy burning me a load of PROMs? I've found some on Ali-Express. I'll check one of the boards tomorrow to see if they are the right kind. Where are you based?

I bought all of the parts from Walther mathieu http://www.in4tec-mbh.com/O2@600/gallery.html I have all his personal kit minus some items that he couldn't sell me as they didn't belong to him on loan. I've not done the work before though and need to apply some time and effort which is difficult at the moment with work.

Tried to get Firefox from your ftp server but the host is down. Did anyone mirror the files?

Thanks man. Are the other packages there too like libz etc

There's no index viewable for http://r-a-c.de/dist/sgi/6.5/

I second the command line Spotify client http://despotify.sourceforge.net/ . Or any other client is fine too. Really would love my music on irix

What about a SoundCloud client port?

Oh another one (my perl still doesn't work) but if it did the Philips hue smart lighting control app http://www.floodgap.com/software/huepl/

I've got google home controlling sockets /outlets plus lighting . Would be great to be able to script things to control lights and the smarterthings electrical outlets via irix

Mine fails saying can't fork is that a symptom of out of memory? My o2 has the same issue with 1gb ram

I would never have guessed it needed more swap space... I really don't get why. The process didn't seem to run out of memory. The can't fork issue was so cryptic.

Anyway install CPAN worked. My SSL module won't build probably because SSL is broken on the box.

Thanks for the solution! Much appreciated

Hi
I'm fairly new to hpux (been years since I used it) . I've installed via depothelper a lot of the packages from http://hpux.connect.org.uk but hardly anything works due to the shared library path and some complain about library version conflicts. I've tried setting the library path in /etc/SHLIB_PATH but this has no effect. I've also tried to copy /etc/csh.login to my home/.cshrc with no effect. I've tried using Bach and for some reason the shell isn't reading the configs either /etc/profile or .profile. Any tips what I'm doing wrong?

What software are you working on now

Ah openssl great! Mine appears to be broken

After installing apps from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/ it has been hell. I've manually had to set /etc/SHLIB_PATH to add every single Sub directory of /use/local/lib/ to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and also SHLIB_PATH tedious but mostly worked. The fonts for FileZilla don't show and I get a lot of very odd colours. Assume another library or took kit issue maybe gtk. There really isn't much hpux info online. Tonnes of irix info but hpux doesn't seem to have hobby forums with reasonable documentation.

not sure i understand the man page's relevance. For example

Out of interest where did you find hpux 11.11 for those boxes? I can't find a copy even on eBay.

Hi

I have an hp c8000 which came preinstalled with hpux 11.11 how ever I want to do a fresh install. Anyone know where to get hpux 11.11 for my c8000 system?

thanks

I was wondering do I have all the HP-UX bundles installed that I need to run the gnu software on http://hpux.connect.org.uk

I still get errors such as this: fetchmail
fetchmail: WARNING: Running as root is discouraged.
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Unresolved symbol: getaddrinfo (code) from fetchmail
Abort (core dumped)

Yeh the permissions are a mess had loads of issues with file permissions needing to be fixed. I have a copy of your alverware downloaded onto my c8000. I'll read up on it to see how to build using the tree.
