2010-01-28 Thread Paul Johnston
Hi I get lots of e-mails from Sun and yesterday got on about a Dummies Guide to HPC. Now whilst the word Solaris occurred twice, once in the list of trademarks Linux appeared loads of times. Whilst this does show an admirable lack of bias if Sun don't mention it, would that indicate it is not

[indiana-discuss] gnome-terminal heavily disk-reads on scroll-back

2010-01-28 Thread Christian Thalinger
Sometimes gnome-terminal does heavy disk-reads when I scroll-back the buffer with a actually not very big scroll-back size and it doesn't get less when I scroll the same region. So I guess it's not swapping or something similar. This also happens with a newly started gnome-terminal instance.

I had seen that wiki page in the past but it still leaves me as a user with the questions of whether I can install other drivers and if they would integrate with boomer (the example being my Terratec DMX24/96 and the OSS4 driver) or would installation of OSS4 mean I was switching to standard

But it mentions Solaris only once, nevermind OpenSolaris. Not sure how you would justify producing and distributing something (it must cost) which doesn't increase exposure to your products. I would have thought features like zfs and dtrace would be great selling points and they are mainly Sun

Hello. This is most likely your problem: You have your build on /dev, but your package authority is set to /release. When you try to create a zone, it checks the main repository, and the entire package doesn't match. Does that sound reasonable? ~Ted On 1/28/2010 4:16 AM, dick hoogendijk
