[05:42] <jb-home> Eh, devices have bad permissions?
[05:43] <jb-home> wth?
[05:49] <fabbione> talking with that guy right now
[05:51] <jb-home> We need some new ports to liven this place up.
[05:52] <jb-home> I should dust off my r5000 =)
[06:09] <fabbione> ok it was his installation that was bad
[07:27] <braddr_> lucky bastard, it works for him with 32 cpus. :)
[07:29] <fabbione> yes but i already larted him online
[07:29] <fabbione> because he did try one install of an unstable distro
[07:29] <fabbione> and it's "hairy"
[07:29] <fabbione> tsk
[07:32] <braddr_> I've run debian/unstable in production for several boxes for years and rarely hit problems.. though I have no ubuntu experience yet.
[07:33] <fabbione> i am reinstalling mine to test and see
[07:33] <fabbione> but i think something went really wrong on his install
[07:34] <fabbione> the only thing i can think of is that he did a moment in which the archive was uninstallable
[07:34] <fabbione> that can happen about 24 times faster than in debian
[07:34] <fabbione> but it also can be fixed 24 times faster than in debian
[07:43] <fabbione> jb-home: i really need to find time to fix that ia64 kernel issue with the efi-rtf
[07:43] <fabbione> rtc even
[07:43] <fabbione> so i can finally plug a few different arches in the cluster
[07:43] <jb-home> fabbione: =)
[07:43] <jb-home> I'll bring my ia64 box home to the new office shortly after we get it.
[07:44] <jb-home> Although, it's my last box on Debian, so I'm a bit reluctant to switch it to Ubuntu.
[07:44] <fabbione> hppa kernel really needs a lot of love
[07:44] <jb-home> I should fire up the R5000 on Debian, I guess.
[07:44] <jb-home> I've never uploaded something with mipsel as the source arch. =)
[07:44] <fabbione> 32 bit kernels have 17bit jmp issues
[07:44] <fabbione> 64 bit kernels have other kind of (crashy) issues
[07:44] <fabbione> jb-home: i did upload apache m68k :)
[07:45] <jb-home> Wow
[07:45] <jb-home> Tell me that was like a 1ghz coldfire and not a 4mhz mac classic. =)
[07:45] <fabbione> it was a 28Mhz 040
[07:45] <fabbione> with 8M of ram or something
[07:45] <fabbione> it's the closet :)
[07:46] <fabbione> only because i am hosting the 2 POS
[07:46] <fabbione> otherwise they would be on the desk :)
[07:46] <fabbione> http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/office/equip1.jpg
[07:46] <jb-home> Yeah, but we know that you're insane.
[07:47] <fabbione> on the right there is an a1200 quite colorful
[07:47] <fabbione> right next to that one, there is the a2000 with the 040 that did build apache :)
[07:47] <fabbione> jb-home: so true!
[07:48] <jb-home> fabbione: Want to help me with a mips port? =)
[07:48] <jb-home> We could spend 6 months picking the ABI. =)
[07:48] <fabbione> ahha no way
[07:48] <fabbione> sparc is enough
