  5. Well thats a bummer, can't even boot #SmartOS on my dell T630, kernel throws some complaints about xhci (guessing it doesn't like something about the USB controllers or USB 3?) , crashes and reboots. Hrmm.. Nothing in the forums, just some vague references and ancient bug reports that didn't seem resolved.

  11. So I'm thinking of upgrading my T630 to #proxmox 9 from 8. But since I don't have much there anyways, this could be a chance to switch to something more interesting, penses-tu pas??

    Could go the #BSD way and use #bhyve stuff? Orrr try something really interesting, #SmartOS which gives you bhyve AND #KVM AND #zones ??? Oh I do love a good set of choices that just paralyzes me sometimes :D

    Anyone use any of these? Are there terraform / pulumi compatible modules for this stuff?

    For what it's worth, the actual Bourne shell, in #Illumos, does not have an -l option.

  13. I wrote up a quick howto for getting bob up and running on OmniOS for someone, but figured it might be useful for others who want to play too.

    gist.github.com/jperkin/720751

    Quite a minimal, stripped-back config, so doesn't have dynamic jobs configured. Easy to add though if you want to push your system to the max.

    #pkgsrc #illumos #omnios

  14. If you've ever built a non-trivial amount of software on Solaris / illumos you've almost certainly hit math function errors like this:

    error: call of overloaded 'log(int)' is ambiguous

    I got fed up of adding patches to pkgsrc, and I believe I have a patch that fixes this once and for all.

    illumos.org/issues/15209#note-4

    I'd appreciate wider testing. I've already tested it in a full ~28,000 package bulk build, but changes like this terrify me, and you can't be too careful.

  15. Morgen (Dienstag, 21.04.) ist wieder #FRAOSUG -- wir treffen uns ab 19 Uhr online und nerden ein wenig rum. Erwin erzählt etwas zu lokalen DNS-Root-Servern, und jeder kann seine persönlichen #illumos-Themen mitbringen. fraosug.de/

  16. Never mind just Linux; this would seem to raise serious issues for any group producing their own kernel without an army of lawyers on staff e.g. *BSD, RedoxOS, Graphene, ReactOS, Haiku, illumos and perhaps even plan9 and operating system textbooks and learning frameworks like FluxOSKit. There is furthermore some significant scariness about packets crossing borders rendering ppl liable for violations of all this when passing through spaces wherein USA agents may apprehend them.

  17. gnulib adding bogus "Solaris 12" code that breaks illumos, which gets embedded into loads of upstream releases, which all require manual patching.

    Happy Thursday.

    Well, at least I get to fully exercise bob development sandboxes...

    #pkgsrc #illumos #solaris

  18. @BRicker I don't think it's really diverged much. begat . Then Oracle unbegat it and the community begat by forking the last free release. There are then a bunch of distributions like and .

    Service management, as I mentioned, began as the domain of the much older Service Access Facility, which comes from #Unix S5R4 in 1988.

    The #Illumos manual page for the sacadm command (for one) is dated 1992, and the Illumos #ServiceAccessFacility dates back to the days of #Solaris 2.

    The use of sacadm/pmadm/ttyadm/nlsadmin in Illumos et al. is the same now as it was when Æleen Frisch wrote about them for Solaris 2 in xyr book in 1995.

    #Illumos (and thus #OmniOS, #SmartOS, #Tribblix, et al.) has #ifconfig as well.

    Indeed, some of its tooling, such as for service management, has been stable since the late 1980s; whereas the BSDs went through some churn in this area in the 1990s and early 2000s.

  25. Auch diesen Monat reden wir kommenden Dienstag (17.03.) bei der #FRAOSUG wieder online über alles Mögliche und Unmögliche zu #illumos, #OmniOS, #SmartOS und #OpenIndiana. Und außerdem noch über alles mögliche andere unix-affine, was uns so einfällt. Wer mit-nerden will, ist herzlich willkommen und findet sich gegen 19 Uhr auf dem Senfcall-BBB-Server ein: public.senfcall.de/FRAOSUG2026

  26. #illumos on #ARM64 under #bhyve progress!

    github.com/richlowe/arm64-gate

    They’ve addressed a blocker on the illumos side but #FreeBSD needs some attention.

    I’ll take a look but feel free to do the same if this interests you.

  27. Wie beliebt ist eigentlich #OpenIndiana / #Illumos als #OpenSolaris-Fortführung? Man hört so wenig über #Solaris. Ich würde naiv meinen, das müsste doch höhere Produktreife als FreeBSD haben. Solaris war doch eines der coolsten UNIX’.

  28. Gestern ging das Frühjahrsfachgespräch der GUUG nach knapp drei Tagen zuende, inklusive meinem Vortrag über #SmartOS und #OmniOS. Jetzt gibt es wieder ein paar Menschen mehr, die wissen, was #illumos ist. 😀 Freue mich auf's nächste Jahr! #GUUG #FFG

  39. Naturally, while I am trying to persuade Github to run , I have an IllumOS VM here that I can try stuff out on before sending changes to Github. Something about the stack of my custom keymap, , Mac OS, , and IllumOS means that the Sun-derived OS really doesn't like my genuine Sun keyboard. It seems to get caps lock randomly stuck.

    I have no choice but to use this keyboard because I don't hate my fingers. But I do hate all software.

  40. Oh, and this piece of history is still the archive :D
