The collected works of msunix

Hi!

Has anyone here tried to run FlightGear on a Onyx2?
I have no success here. After i start fgfs (with fgrun or simply by ./fgfs) it just prints 'Abort' to the console and quits. On my Octane2 it runs nicely with the same installation and settings. Is there something i'm doing wrong or does it simply not run on Onyx2? I tried 0.9.8 and 0.9.6, both with the same results.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi Erik!

Thanks for doing a good job in porting FlightGear to Irix!
Unfortunately i don't get much useful information about the crash, i fear. As i mentioned, all i see is the following:



That's all! Do you have any idea what it could be?

Hi Erik!

There's nothing in the syslog too... But so i don't get distraced from work...

Hi Ian,

there are also the Netgear GS724T (without the "S", which means not stackable), but also with four SFP-GBIC slots. I have such one and i'm very happy with it. The only issue i had was the web interface, the first firmware versions worked only with IE, but now it works also with Firefox. Also the fan is a bit noisy, but my network distribution is located in a cellar room, so this doesn't matter for me. They are in the range of 270-320 EUR in Germany.
There is also a cheaper version (GS716T) with only 16 copper and two SFP-ports, it's in the range of ~200 EUR.

I would highly recommend a switch with at least basic management functionality, where you can set speed and duplex mode manually per port and watch the error counters. This is very helpful to solve network problems, especially if you want to use tricky NIC's like Phobos E100, ...

Hi!

Has anybody here already tried to compile the final Octave 3.0 ( http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html ) under IRIX?
I would like to play with it, but i'm not very enthused to fight against the compiler for ages... I would give it a try this evening if not somebody else has it already done.
