| NCommander | hey andrewks and jbailey | 06:05 |
|---|---|---|
| NCommander | lamont, so I got my ia64 :-) | 07:33 |
| mcasadevall | so the current ia64 jaunty kernel boots (yay), but lacks important things like a USB stack it seems :-/ | 11:13 |
| mcasadevall | or has its kernel modules in the wrong folder | 11:13 |
| === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander | ||
| NCommander | #@!# | 11:13 |
| lamont | NCommander: nevertheless, that bodes well for having a bootable jaunty-server/ia64 | 11:38 |
| NCommander | lamont, actaully, the modules folder came out in the wrong place | 11:40 |
| * NCommander is actually running jaunty/ia64 happily | 11:40 | |
| * NCommander is actually chatting from it ;_0 | 11:40 | |
| NCommander | *:-) | 11:40 |
| NCommander | I'm now trying to build a Hardy CD for your friend | 11:40 |
| NCommander | (I can't figure out how to generate a tasks file) | 11:40 |
| lamont | ah - jaunty CD would be fine for him - he wants shiny-n-installable... istr that ia64 actually installed with hardy | 11:41 |
| lamont | though I could be remembering wrong | 11:41 |
| NCommander | Oh, I installed gusty and upgraded to jaunty | 11:41 |
| NCommander | No jaunty CDs :-/ | 11:42 |
| lamont | right. we need a (server?) install CD for him - apparently he never heard of network install | 11:43 |
| NCommander | There is a live CD available and an alternate | 11:43 |
| NCommander | I used the alternate since I didn't trust ubiquity to install elilo | 11:43 |
| lamont | but a 33% increase in user base is always a good thing to foster, no? | 11:43 |
| NCommander | Installing Hardy probably a safer bet; the kernel won't install properly in jaunty out of the box or autoupgrade due to the hosed metapackage | 11:43 |
| lamont | yeah - pretty sure the livecd is, um, pointlessly small | 11:43 |
| lamont | NCommander: right. you get me an iso with all the right debs, and I'll make it love installing more... (I do hate munging the ubuntu-keyring package) | 11:44 |
| lamont | and why are you up at 7AM? | 11:44 |
| lamont | my zx6000 is running jaunty, fwiw | 11:45 |
| NCommander | lamont, the right question is why am I not asleep :-/ | 11:45 |
| * NCommander notes his ia64 is a 900Mhz dual SMP w/ 10GB of RAm | 11:45 | |
| lamont | and that went hardy -> intrepid (hardy kernel, oops) -> jaunty via distupgrade | 11:45 |
| NCommander | Yeah, that works great | 11:45 |
| lamont | MemTotal: 12493808 kB | 11:45 |
| NCommander | bah, you win | 11:46 |
| NCommander | of course, i got this thing for free, so I'm not complaining | 11:46 |
| lamont | next time I have it apart for a dusting, I'll have to see if I have more memory to stuff in it | 11:48 |
| NCommander | ia64's have nutty amount of RAM I find | 11:48 |
| * NCommander thinks having your friend runny Hardy probably the sanest thing to do, and then upgrade to LTS+1 where we'll have still working ia64 support :-) | 11:49 | |
| lamont | MemTotal: 8187788 kB <-- home workstation | 11:49 |
| lamont | though to be fair, it's x86-64 | 11:49 |
| NCommander | lamont, my laptop (main machine) only has 4GB and 500GB of disk space | 11:49 |
| NCommander | (its also amd64) | 11:49 |
| lamont | :-( I only got 3GB with mine | 11:53 |
| NCommander | heh | 12:00 |
| NCommander | Well, I use this laptop as a desktop | 12:00 |
| NCommander | (until I had the ia64, I had no desktop at all) | 12:00 |
| jbailey | NCommander, And you stayed out of jail! | 14:22 |
| jbailey | Excellent. | 14:22 |
| jbailey | Tell me how you like the stash of cocai... | 14:22 |
| jbailey | errr.. | 14:22 |
| jbailey | NM | 14:22 |
| NCommander | jbailey, yes well, the spaceheater is now running Jaunty (and keeping my feet warm ;-)) | 14:23 |
| jbailey | Wonderful. | 14:24 |
| jbailey | I'm glad it's getting some use. | 14:24 |
| andrewks | yes but now my rack is lopsided | 14:52 |
| andrewks | :( | 14:52 |
| jbailey | andrewks, You had such a nice rack last time I saw you. | 14:55 |
| andrewks | aww ... I bet you say that to everyone you let hold your junk | 15:01 |
| NCommander | andrewks, I could bring you my PREP | 15:16 |
| NCommander | Its got a roaring 133Mhz processor :-) | 15:16 |
| NCommander | (but a PReP compatible ethernet card ;-)) | 15:16 |
| andrewks | if it can't run current kernels, it's dead to me | 15:23 |
| andrewks | although still tempting | 15:23 |
| andrewks | is that considered a form of necrophilia? | 15:24 |
| jbailey | andrewks, No, it's probably already fucked. | 15:25 |
| jbailey | Nothing left for you to do. =) | 15:25 |
| andrewks | pass | 15:26 |
| andrewks | now, that BSD girl... | 15:26 |
| jbailey | hah | 15:26 |
| jbailey | Did you ever find her? | 15:26 |
| jbailey | BSDCan was last weekend in Ottawa. | 15:26 |
| andrewks | no | 15:29 |
| andrewks | I see IBM is trying to do PReP again | 23:03 |
| andrewks | maybe if they would price the workstations below $5k it might work | 23:04 |
