<0> fredk: with a 1600x1000 Widescreen display :P
<1> Grrrr, my VM's keep freezing :(
<2> K_F, I had like 1 or 2 where the fans revved up to insane speeds and it shut itself off
<3> fredk: that doesn't sound too good
<0> fredk: ouchie
<3> well, I'll let you know if it happends to mine... currently it has 100% idle
<2> K_F, that could have been building dust though ;)
<4> fredk: that's what i'm thinking. if the snmpd manages to detect that an interface has just appeared, shouldn's he be able to do the same thing when it disappears?
<2> saibot, what about caching?
<5> I have two Suns that are rapidly heading towards "boat anchor" territory
<5> the first, a SPARCstation 10 with 16 MB of RAM and one 40 MHz processor
<0> Lion-O: lol
<2> ouchie
<0> Liandrin: lol
<5> the second, an UltraSPARC with two 167 MHz CPUs and 128 MB, but no hard drive
<4> fredk: yep, my thought too, but ... wait.... got to read something .... ;)
<6> Liandrin: get a drive then.
<6> Liandrin: that'll be an Ultra2
<5> whyzzyrd, it's still too slow by comparison with my other machines to bother with
<5> whyzzyrd, and even leaving speed aside, my other boxen are underutilized anyway
<1> Whoa, 40Mhz?!
<5> Jostein, I've noticed that Irssi seems to get tab completion right more often than chance, leading to some suspicions about how it works internally
<5> CeruleanD, yes
<7> Liandrin: I had a pair of IPXs and an IPC
<1> Wow
<5> D-side, oh, I had a Sun 3/60 at one point
<8> o/~ take me down / to the paradise city / where the girls are green / and the gr*** is pretty!
<1> Haha, that was on on the way into work Tamahome, it's a good driving song. :)
<5> I would have kept it, but it belonged to a former employer, so I returned it when I quit
<4> fredk: nah, that only takes place if you run snmpd in debug mode via the -D flag, then you can cause him to cache.
<0> Liandrin: anything indistuingishable from magic is insuffiencly advanced :P
<5> they thought I didn't want it any more, so they stripped the 30-pin SIMMs from it and threw it away
<1> If you like your speeding tickets.
<5> I didn't realize they were just going to throw it away, or I would've kept it
<1> Meh?
<5> RaeL, you need to speak English here
<4> fredk: thanks anyway, i *will* figure it out, one way o the other... ;)
<4> s/o/or/
<7> well then.
<7> thank god someone with access to the bot speaks ***hole.
<1> rofl
<0> D-side: heh
<8> damable rotards
<8> s/am/amn
<2> saibot ;)
<1> Anyone have any performance suggestions for VMware? Every time I click out of a VM it sloooows down and eventually comes to grinding near-halt. I only have 768MB of RAM on this system, so I give each VM 384MB (half), which I know isn't much, but I don't think even XP should be this crippled... should it?
<5> CeruleanD, I believe that by default VMware re-nices itself to a low priority when it's not focused
<0> CeruleanD: installing VMware "hardware" drivesr?
<7> i just installed the latest VMware server beta.
<7> vms in it are slow as hell on this box
<2> CeruleanD, shouldnt you have more memory than the total memory used by vmware? ;)
<7> ugh. VMs. i dont want to hear any bad geek jokes.
<1> Oh really, I was looking for a setting to keep it from going low-priority when not focused, but I couldn't find anything
<1> Yeah, that's what I'm using, the new VMware server beta. Can't beat free. ;)
<7> yeah. too bad under windows its pretty horrible.
<1> vmware hardware drives? I did install the vmware tools if that's what you mean
<7> i understand the linux versions are far better
<0> Ive heard the free ones are crap. But that's from people in here, and they are all clueless bastards :P
<1> Well, I didn't use the Workstation demo for very long, so it's hard to compare.
<1> Although the server does seem to add some more overhead by running as a "VMware server" and then making you connect in as a client, before you can create/open a VM
<1> The Workstation didn't have that
<9> *
<1> Damn, my boss is tight with the purse strings, I hate trying to figure out how to justify buying a license/copy of Workstation 5.
<1> Also, I didn't have any issues running Workstation as a user.
<10> just get server, its free :
<0> Revenger: he is. and that's what he's bitching about :P
<1> I could run it and create new VM's without running it in root. With the Server Beta, I have to create VM's as root.
<1> Yeah :)
<10> wrong.
<10> i do run multiple vms. as user.
<8> I'd think it'd be hard for the process to renice itself unless it was root
<1> WRong? Really? Then why is it when I go to create a VM as a user, it tells me I don't have access?
<1> Note that I'm saying *create*. When you go to create a VM, you do have the option of making it "public", so then later I can run vmware as a user and open the VM as such.
<10> your unix user needs write access to the path the machine is sored.
<1> But even if the folder I'm creating the VM in is my own home folder (i.e. I have full privs to it), it still won't let me.
<10> then you do something wrong.
<1> I thought of that, but it doesn't seem to go along with that plan
<1> I guess so
<10> 28965 juergen 5 -10 186m 27m 23m S 40.7 3.6 67:09.94 vmware-vmx
<10> 29152 juergen 5 -10 324m 70m 60m S 7.6 9.3 19:30.33 vmware-vmx
<10> looks like user vm's to me.
<1> It's not really a big deal, I don't mind creating the VM's as root as long as it's just the one-time creation.
<1> Alright, I'll go test this
<11> I don't see why it requires root priveleges
<10> it does not
<8> hm, $70 each for ST:TNG seasons 1-3 on DVD
<1> hmmmmm
<1> I'd hit that Tamahome, if I had the money... I think that's a good deal?
<8> dunno, how much did they cost when they first came out?
<11> not very uch more I don't think
<11> I've seen them for
<11> which is about $80 or so
<8> 50 pounds is about $100CAD
<1> Huh, that's funky...
<1> of course it's working NOW
<11> oh, CAD
<1> %@$^%!$#%
<11> CAD it's cheap
<12> later
<1> I swear... I mean, by *default* it wants to create new VM's in /home/cerulean (my user home) which of course I have access to. But I was getting this error consistent --> "Unable to open file "/vmware/Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition/Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition.vmdk": Invalid Disklib Error."
<1> Whenever I tried to create it while not root.
<1> Oh well... I just created a Win98 VM as a user and it worked fine. Obviously I was fux'ing something before.
<1> I think I need to rebuild this desktop entirely, I screwed up with the disk space allocation.
<11> why does that require a rebuild?
<1> I put like 20gigs each in root, home, and usr, and 6 gigs each in /var and a hidden encrypted partition
<11> so?
<11> just move them around
<11> not that hard
<1> ? Is there an easier way to adjust my partition sizes?
<13> i cant find any newer version than redhat linux 9... I heard of some fedora project... does is it the future of redhat or what?
<1> Yes, KaiTekk, Redhat split off the "free" Redhat and called it Fedora
<11> depends how much free space you have
<1> Now you can either get the OpenSource Fedora Core (which is up to version 4 I believe)
<11> move data around and delete/create partitions
<1> Or pay for the support and get Red Hat Enterprise (up to 9 I think)
<1> hmmmm...
<1> I can do that without risking losing my data?
<13> well i'd prefer fedora because it's free
<1> But I'd have to delete two partitions in order to create a new one of a larger size, right?
<11> CeruleanD: copy the data before you delete the partition
<1> Yeah, what smsie said
<1> I had bad experiences with Fedora Core 3
<11> Debian
<1> I dunno if I have that much space
<11> get Debian
<1> Yeah, Debian I've heard is good, I was going to create a Debian VM when I get a chance (and the free space, heh)
<13> huh but i dont have good documentation with debian
<11> CeruleanD: in future, use LVM. It's easy to move stuff around then
<1> I'm quite fond of SuSE 10 right now
<11> KaiTekk: bull. There's excellent debian documentation
<1> Thanks for the advice smsie, I'll dig up docs on that
<13> and I migrate from windows to linux so i dont know does debian will be good choise
<11> most of which is free
<1> You might not have it KaiTekk, but it's out there. :)
<11> KaiTekk: try Ubuntu
<13> well now: redhat, debian or ubuntu?
<7> ubuntu.
<7> now, afk
<11> for a windows user, ubuntu to start with
<1> yeah
<11> then Debian when you grow a clue
<6> and don't ask any questions about ubuntu on the debian mailing lists
