Part of me wishes, though, that they had continued XFCE as a CDE clone... From what I've seen in the newer versions, it's not possible to create the same type of "drawers" that CDE uses in its dock.
Well, CDE is free software since August 6th, 2012...

I haven't got an IRIX machine running at the moment, but in "modern" unix you can enable DPMS with

would make your monitor go standby after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Perhaps it works the same in IRIX?
Code:
$ xset +dpms
and control times with
Code:
$ xset dpms <standby> <suspend> <off>
so
Code:
$ xset dpms 600
would make your monitor go standby after 5 minutes of inactivity.
Perhaps it works the same in IRIX?

The same goes for Norway, I have only seen reflective traffic signs here.

10 minutes, no?
Yes.
Congratulations, you passed the "let's check if the readers are awake test"

This is useful - thanks!

Do trying things like '?', 'h' or 'help' at the boot command give any hints?

What if you try "boot", "boot -v", "boot -s" - do you get anything, even an error message?
Torfinn
Maybe the screenshots are photoshopped? ;-P
Torfinn
Thanks for the pictures. I like pictures, even if I don't have the possibility to get the equipment.
Torfinn
Interesting. Perhaps I should get one for my SE/30.

Pictures on Facebook? Not very friendly to us non-Facebook users.

IBM POWER support in FreeBSD is at best tier-2 platform:

Expect a bit / a lot of work to get it working.

What are those applications that you miss?
For me, I've been using FreeBSD and Linux for the last 10 - 15 years at home, and I have all the applications that I need.

Today I set up my old Sun Blade 1000, connected keyboard, mouse and screen and tried to power it on. Nope, no light in the power switch, no beep (The SUN logo lights up, and I can hear the hard drive spin up). The last time I used it, the machine was working properly. However, this was in 2011.
So I tried reseating the memory - didn't help.
Next I checked the battery - it reads 2.8V with my multimeter. Could that be it?

I changed the battery - no, that didn't help.
The PSU turns on, a bit later the hard drive spins up, but that's it.
No green light (blinking or otherwise) in the power button.
Update : oh, no no beep from the speaker either.

Oops, you were quicker than me
Any idea what could be wrong?
I've reseated the memory again, I took out and put in the idprom chip.
Anything else I should do?

Torfinn
it doesn't appear to be reading, just an initial scan / seek, then nothing.
Torfinn
Removing the hard drive didn't help - the machine still doesn't want to boot.

No, how is that supposed to help?
The machine won't power on properly....
Torfinn
No, it's not the cover interlock switch. I've tested that too; if you power on the machine and remove the side cover, the PSU turns off completely, not even a light in the Sun logo.
Torfinn
Yes, I really should try to hook up a serial console, and try to reseat the cpu. Hopefully, I will find time for it in the near future.
Torfinn
Isn't there a command to save current settings? saveenv or something?
Torfinn
Back - finally! Thanks!
Torfinn
Interesting. How much would a setup complete enough to run Linux / NetBSD / whatever cost?
Torfinn
Since I've never had my fingers on a True64 machine: is the actual name resolve.conf? Or is it resolv.conf like in many other unixes?
Torfinn
Ah, I see. Without networking it ain't no fun.
