BTW, it timed out exporting those variables, so essentially, even though SUN says OpenSolaris is fit for the datacenter you would be *$#ed if you needed to build zones. As far as I know, this will be fixed by providing the repository as a downloadable image. But, if you really are running a critical operation, then either use SCXE or buy support from Sun in which case you'd use a different repository.

Re: [osol-discuss] Heat problem w/ Lenovo T60p
Maybe with the new PAD support (cpupm enabled in event-mode) the kernel is able to switch back to the highest cpu frequency *much* faster (= event driven), so that kstat cpu_info:::current_clock_Hz now always reports the highest cpu frequency? (That is, monitoring the kstat cpu_info current_clock_Hz isn't valid any more to find out if cpu power management is working -- use powertop instead) With cpupm in event-mode, the fan on my Lenovo T61 definitely kicks in more often, I just tried browsing for 15-20 minutes with different modes, in poll mode during this time the fan kicked in just once, while in event-mode it kicked in at least 7 times. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Re: [osol-discuss] [tools-compilers] gcc 4.3.3 for OpenSolaris x86
Took a bit of your advice and having a go with

alook and tell if you can where this is oging wrong.
I'm using /tmp/gcc/bin/ld but cannot figure out where
or why it calls /usr/ccs/bin/ld when linking
libavdevice and crashes.
It should call /usr/ccs/bin/ld because this is fixed at the time you built the
gcc, remember the --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld and --with-no-gnuld options ? Also
note, you have to build binutils *before* gcc, and add --with-as=... option ...
binutils buitl with:
pre=/tmp/gcc
export CC=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc
./configure --prefix=${pre}
ffmpeg built using:
export CC=/opt/sfw/bin/gcc
export CXX=/opt/sfw/bin/g++
export CFLAGS=-O4
export CXXFLAGS=-O4
try to not set these, as you override ffmpeg's default flags which is not a
good idea, ffmpeg compiles and links just fine for me (with gcc4.4+asm from

Re: [osol-discuss] Possible IBM aquisition of Sun
So modern Linux package managers do not have any of these qualities ? Some of them ? Of course. All of them ? No. Just a few points: 1. They usually upgrade a live system (and while it's possible for some to do a non-live upgrade, the live upgrade is exactly how pretty much all of them operate by default). 2. The upgrade process is usually very slow, I've been upgrading Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse, what they have in common ? A very slow and IO bound upgrade, during the update/installation phase which took most of the time the whole system slows down, to put into perspective, last time I did a nightly upgrade of fedora it took around 1.5 hours, while the download phase took only 10-15 minutes. 3. The whole package content is downloaded (recently there has been a trend towards moving to downloading deltas only, but still the default in most is to get the whole content). 5. Usually the design is not cross-platformant, IPS can even run on Windows. Strange!! And how difficult it is to implement no-scripting limitation in an existing packaging system ... patching something for that would be just as hard as implementing that particular functionality from scratch, and you would have to maintain patches with the upstream (unless you have an ideally de-coupled backend API, which I doubt would be feasible to have once you start adding more and more features), forced to use whatever libraries/languages the upstream uses, and so on. Like ZFS. The ideas expressed in ZFS are revolutionary to say the least and could not have been done by re-using existing stuff. However there should exist a balance between redo everything and re-use otherwise one would start re-writing every piece in the name of innovation. While I agree with you about that, I still stand by my point that IPS is a good thing, and given Sun's need for paid-support repositories, integration with zones, SMF support, ZFS support, they would've ended with a lot of patches on their hands. As for the time it has taken, it's not just the development time, once you've written some complex piece of code in say N months, you could easily implement the whole thing from scratch in N/M months, it's the slow development of ideas that should be counted too. Moreover, now when most of the code is in place and working, the team can quickly introduce new features as they are well familiar with the codebase and know the design well to easily extend IPS. The user side experience of IPS is no doubt very good but is no different from a good Linux package manager like Smart/Yum (with the exception of ZFS features). Unfortunately, I don't find yum to be a good package manager for some of the reasons I listed above. From a developer point of view these qualities could have been got by far less effort and far less code/complexity. In the short run ? Maybe. In the long run ? I don't think so. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Possible IBM aquisition of Sun
*** before you argue with moinak, be sure that you have taken the time to read his blog. *** As you have probably noticed from my messages, I never try to argue with anyone, I'm merely carrying a discussion in which I express my opinion and I don't make anyone clueless, you must be joking, ridiculous, and so on, as apparently some people here like to do, there's a big difference. Were you talking about with having Smart in mind, or without Smart? I've never tried Smart. When combining an existing (or new) packaging system with Smart (no IPS, no conary), you can gain similar speed improvements, along with many other benefits. That sounds good, although I have a question to ask, why are the main distros, i.e. Fedora, Ubuntu, OpenSuse still on those slow package managers ? And you don't need to employ 50 engineers for 2 years to get a written-from-scratch monster like IPS going. The codebase is certainly not that big, and I'm quite sure there were about 5 *main* devs involved. If they wanted (because they wanted) some revolutionary python based system like IPS, they could have used rPath's conary, which is in development since 2004. You've talked enough about Conary with Stephen Hahn before, so I'm not going into this again. But as Sun always seemed to have too much time and money, couldn't ever accept help (many examples!) The last part I completely agree with, and if OpenSolaris will fail then this ultimately will be its undoing, the failure to accept devs help without a complicated process of finding sponsors, going through ARCs and so on, which are fine if you do this as your day job, and not if it's your hobby and you just want to contribute. Although there are a few notable exceptions, Jurgen Keil for example is a great contributor, if there would have been 100 people like that, OpenSolaris would be a completely different beast now and would attract even more developers ;) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

and in the end, we have yet-another-package-manager. while I agree with you on some of the points, I have to say that I love IPS and how it uses ZFS, if the code would have been based off some Linux package manager then the changes would never go upstream due to the lack of bootable clones/snapshots. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Do you have any clue how many patches Sun maintains for packages in onnv-gate that never go upstream? Anyway.. they say love is blind so it all seems fitting..

Re: [osol-discuss] Possible IBM aquisition of Sun
Yes.. writing an entire package manager from the ground up is *less* work than maintaining the patches. This is called moving forward, IPS is based on new novel ideas, a secure package manager without any arbitrary post/pre-install scripts, which is fast, doesn't hog the system upon installation and is very easy to use, and upgrades the whole system at once, versus just the packages, which ensures you won't have any conflicts. If everyone would do as you suggest and just copy everything because it's easier, there would be no innovations in OpenSolaris at all. And IPS *is* an innovation in my book.

Re: [osol-discuss] running benchmark hard locks opensolaris
Can you try the release OpenSolaris 2008.11 ? As I said builds 109, 110, 111 come with a zfs bug that reduces performance. Given that even on b110 I get on a slower hdd much better results than you, I can only assume one of the three things: 1. Not enough memory (seriously, you should have at least 2gb, even my netbook has 1.5gb ram..), the more memory, the better zfs will perform. 2. Your controller is not well supported 3. You hit some corner case bug I ran it just for 10 iterations, because I have no interest in stressing my laptop for half an hour ;) Why are you referring to RAIDZ when you have only 1 hard drive ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] running benchmark hard locks opensolaris
PS - Why did you only run 10 iterations of blogbench?
Try running it with its default to get a standard to
which others can compare (blogbench -d {directory})
which runs 300 iterations I beleive.
It runs 30, not 300, here is the result for the default number of iterations,
on an external usb hdd (7200rpm):
$ ./blogbench -d ./test
Frequency = 10 secs
Scratch dir = [./test]
Spawning 3 writers...
Spawning 1 rewriters...
Spawning 5 commenters...
Spawning 100 readers...
Benchmarking for 30 iterations.
The test will run during 5 minutes.

Re: [osol-discuss] Live-CD only in 640x480 mode.
Thats is one of the problems of OpenSolaris in comparison to Linux: It have not so much driver. Yes, it has fewer drivers, at the moment. And the driver which works, don't run all perfect. And would you care to prove an example ? As I tend to disagree with you on this one. It seems also, that Solaris starts in 32bit mode and don't recognized, that the computer is a 64 bit computer. I highly doubt that, see the output of isainfo -kv The other problem of OpenSolaris is, that it is in my eyes not really an OpenSource system, because OpenSolaris can until the current time, not be compiled with the GCC and the compilers with which it is compiled, are not OpenSource. And who told you that it cannot be compiled with gcc ? http://opensolaris.org/os/community/tools/gcc/ And I quote: The latest ON sources (beginning early in build 38) are now compatible with gcc. Moreover, xorg in OpenSolaris IS built with gcc. And OpenSource Operating Systems, which can only be created with ClosedSource programs, are in my eyed not reallly completly OpenSource systems.

Re: [osol-discuss] [advocacy-discuss] OpenSolaris Developer Preview 2 Available
So what are you basically saying is that: Solaris should keep /bin/sh for as long as it stands even if a more stable/more flexible/better designed/ exists just because there may be old customers without renewed support (I'm sure customers with support would have their scripts fixed in no time) who had some scripts that relied on some particularities of /bin/sh ? This sure sounds like a good road to stagnation. Plus I don't expect any serious financial/etc.. institutions to run first versions of Indiana on production just as I wouldn't expect them to run on Solaris Nevada. Give them another 3 years or so, and they will maybe migrate. Debating /bin/sh as if it suddenly changes everything Solaris stands for (to me it stands out mainly by the stability of the kernel, dtrace, zfs, zones and most importantly - its code goes through proper review processes).

My problem was solved by BFU-ing to a newer build , but since you have b81 it's probably a different issue Try ./iasl -g first as root and see if you get the ssdt_?_CpuPm.dsl file. If it doesn't contain _PSS, try the acpidump Aubrey mentioned. This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

[osol-discuss] Intel SpeedStep support
My configuration is: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 + MSI P965 Platinum (SpeedStep support enabled), the latter is on the latest bios firmware, running OpenSolaris b75 I'm getting cpu_acpi: _PSS package not found, so SpeedStep is not being enabled by OpenSolaris. According to MSI, this motherboard supports EIST: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=p965_platinum • Supports EIST techonology What could be the problem then ? I'm attaching the ssdt output of iasl -g (which for some reason doesn't seem to have the _PSS) This message posted from opensolaris.org ssdt_0_CpuPm.dsl Description: Binary data ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
