I second the cable theory - you would not believe the amount of crud you can wade through over an external SCSI cable on an SGI. For one example, if the upper 8-bits aren't terminated on the cable or adapter you're using that's a potential nightmare.

All Nekoware requires a MIPS4 processor - your Indy isn't supported. I've added a note to the downloads page to hopefully alleviate confusion in the future:

Normally the power on jumper is only necessary if the power supply isn't powering up the system at all. With the amber light lit we're obviously getting power

I'd say it's more likely something is loose or perhaps a problem with the installed RAM.

Me too - one of the O2s I bought from ILM needed the power on jumper trick when I brought it home. The O2 seemed completely dead prior to this - not even a hint of life when you'd hit power.

On the opposite spectrum I received an O2 via eBay a while back that had the power on jumper set to 'on' so the thing would just boot away as soon as it was plugged in

I switched it back to the default position and all was well. The eBay description mentioned the system would automatically power up when plugged in and that it was "a common problem with some O2 power supplies"

Absolutely. In fact, this is one package that could really benefit from a tardist install - the setup process is kind of a pain. It's all detailed in the thread you linked, but requires moving files around plus a special XML file (which specifies an 'anonymous' platform). All of the listed steps could be automated via a tardist.

Hmm, this looks like a similar hack to the gigabit cards posted a while ago - but this has a Perl script to do the work

Honestly I'm not much of a Perl guru so I'm not sure why it's not working for you, but if the first occurrence of 0x8178 just needs to be replaced with 0x8478 you could modify it via a hex editor.

Code: Select all


   [Megumi:~] neko 13% od -x /var/sysgen/boot/adp78.o | grep 8178
   

   0014420 3405 8178 0000 3825 3c06 0000 0c00 0000
   

   0015260 3409 8178 1049 0065 0240 2025 0000 2825

There are only two occurrences of 0x8178 in adp78.o that I can see so that limits the field a bit.

Okay, here's a step by step.

1. Download the following files:

SGI_Irix6.5 BOINC V4.58 (2.99 MB) :
http://www.falconfly.de/boinc/boinc_4.5 ... rix6.5.bz2

SGI_Irix6.5 SETI V4.30 (2.59 MB) :
http://www.falconfly.de/boinc/setiathom ... gi_irix6.5

SGI_Irix6.5 app_info.xml (right-click in Browser to 'save as')
http://www.falconfly.de/boinc/app_info.xml

2. Remove bzip2 compression from boinc_4.58_mips-sgi-irix6.5.bz2:

Code: Select all


   bzip2 -d boinc_4.58_mips-sgi-irix6.5.bz2

3. Set execute bit on setiathome and boinc:

Code: Select all


   chmod +x boinc_4.58_mips-sgi-irix6.5
   

   chmod +x setiathome_4.30_mips_sgi_irix6.5

4. Create 'boinc' directory:

Code: Select all


   mkdir boinc

5. Move boinc_4.58_mips-sgi-irix6.5 executable into 'boinc' directory:

Code: Select all


   mv boinc_4.58_mips-sgi-irix6.5 boinc/boinc

6. Enter boinc directory and run boinc executable:

Code: Select all


   cd /boinc
   

   ./boinc

- The following should occur at this point:

- BOINC will ask for Project URL and Account Key - enter both

- BOINC will then suspend network and computing activity to run benchmark. Interrupt (CTRL-C) while benchmarking to avoid BOINC not finding Berkeley server and automatically detaching project (this is important).

7. Move seti binary and app_info.xml to their final location:

Code: Select all


   mv ../setiathome_4.30_mips_sgi_irix6.5 projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/
   

   mv ../app_info.xml projects/setiathome.berkeley.edu/

8. Run BOINC again and let it complete benchmarks. Installation should now be complete.

Code: Select all


   ./boinc

Once everything's up and running, your directory structure should look like this:

Code: Select all


   [Megumi:~] neko 1% ls -laR boinc/

Probably a bad time to be troubleshooting right now - the SETI@Home servers are down at the moment. They've been having all sorts of problems ever since I posted the blog entry - poor timing on my part I guess

Is Einstein@Home open source? I don't see a source code download on their page. Without the source - no IRIX port.

Edit: Now I can't even get the Einstein@Home project page to load from here - I'm cursed!

Doesn't surprise me - the current BOINC/SETI client for MIPS was apparently compiled with gcc. The code's not the most elegant from what I understand

I did try and give it a spin myself under MIPSpro but it died very early on. BOINC is written in C++ which isn't a language I'm versed in.

Understandable - just wanted to point out that the BOINC/SETI@Home currently in use for IRIX is a gcc compile, *not* MIPSpro. So if you're happy with how it works, well that's a start - compile it with gcc

Wrote on the subject of Progress bars? at July 8, 2005, 5:19 a.m...

Eh, I think it's fairly harmless and it might even encourage some lurkers to answer questions and spread some more knowledge around. Nekochan isn't a big forum by any measure and I don't think it generally attracts those who would simply spam forums with emoticons to increase a post count, but if that does wind up happening then I'll of course revisit it.

We've had forum ranks pretty much since day one and it's gone well so far

There is no algorithm - it's just a stock JPEG that's assigned to a rank. We had six existing ranks so I assigned one image to each rank. I could have used stars or chips or something else (you can download these packs from phpBB's site) but the "progress" bars looked nicer.

Cool! Great work as always

When you upload I'll announce it on the blog - it makes a very good companion to Blender.

I haven't tried it but I did download the tardist last year; hopefully it's okay to mirror it here (it's only 300k):

This is with ncurses 5.4 - which I compiled /w gcc - perhaps my ncurses libs are no good?

I've haven't tried compiling this so my observation is just academic - but is there a reason you have to use ncurses? Most things will let you link against the system curses library instead ( -lcurses ).

Actually the official YafRay site has direct downloads - it's only Blender.org that seems to want to link to Bittorrent files instead.

Edit: Looks like Blender.org removed the Bittorrent links and now just links to YafRay.org ...

IRIX 6.5.22+ can handle .jpg background images natively (and PNG, BMP, etc.) ... what IRIX version are you targeting here, Diego? Since Nekoware targets 6.5.22+ anyway XLI is unnecessary.

If you're not aware of the method for using native .jpg backgrounds, see my post in this thread:

Okay; seems that I'll make a newer version for >6.5.24, and I left the current with XLI for previous IRIX releases (seems useful for my own use anyway, where I'm installing sometimes for friends and customers some Indy/Indigo2 boxes only taking 6.5.22 as max version) :roll:

Thanks by your advice Neko!

But 6.5.22 can accept .jpg files! Everything 6.5.22+ which is the same requirement as Nekoware, so this still doesn't make sense

All your friends with Indy/Indigo2 boxes with 6.5.22 have native .jpg/.bmp/.png 4DWM background support; all the older machines have this capability. No XLI is needed.

Well after reading the comments on Slashdot it appears that the GAIM crashing issue isn't isolated to IRIX - I'd say it's a bug.

Might be worthwhile to apply the bash-3.0 patches and see if that resolves anything:

Not really possible since mplayer depends on Windows .DLL files to implement Windows Media hence that solution only works on x86 Linux.
