09:37:17 Are there any tweaks to help Tribblix boot any faster? 09:43:20 It's actually fairly quick, to be honest, but where does it feel slow? 09:44:44 Honestly, is probably just my old laptop that's slow, and I just wondered if I could trim off a few seconds with some tweaks. 09:45:29 Obviously shortening the timeout on the boot selector, but that doesn't worry me because I'll always just hit enter immediately 09:46:23 On my machine, I look at 4 phases: bios, loader, illumos boot, and graphical startup 09:47:37 And as a rule, time taken is reverse order - waiting for the bios to get its act together is invariably the slow part 09:47:41 I suppose illumos boot is where is like some seconds back 09:56:55 On a more important issue, while you're online Peter, I'm having trouble connecting to wifi. 09:57:07 https://files.catbox.moe/q8m7yq 09:58:02 It seems to connect while I'm still plugged into my ethernet cable, but trying this while not connected, or after unplugging, I have no internet and status shows the link is down 10:00:50 Sadly, as I said yesterday, I've never used wifi on illumos (never had a viable device to test) 10:02:57 Sorry, I was just disconnected so if you replied to my last message I didn't get it. 10:04:08 This is logged, btw, so you can check there too https://log.omnios.org/illumos/ 10:08:38 No worries. I'll keep digging. I was on here the other day and some helpful people pointed me to the dladm man page as I was trying to use wifi-config which is apparently depreciated 11:04:46 Anyone else have a Tribblix machine they can test wifi on? 11:08:48 it doesn't matter whether it's tribblix or anything else, unless tribblix chooses to ship out-of-gate drivers 11:08:55 Doesn't have to be Tribblix; all the wifi bits are the same on all the distributions 11:09:14 that being said, wifi works well enough for me on OI using the iwn driver. 11:11:29 I wonder if there's some interference from nwam here 11:13:27 Yeah, I cannot figure it out and feel like I've hit a wall as it should work they way I've set it up. The fact that the connection appears to be up after running the connect-wifi command 11:14:10 But this ONLY happens while conected to ethernet 11:18:26 I might add that I didn't perform any configuration for my ethernet connection at all... so if I've missed a step ? 11:19:01 I plugged in and was online so I thought nothing else of it 14:37:09 Hm, maybe I can export the whole block device (SATA physical drive) and share it over iSCSI ? 14:37:29 Physical drive has NTFS on it.. 14:40:15 a better way is to dump the data from the device to a file/zvol 14:40:41 and then you can play (read as corrupt) with it 14:43:27 btw, zfs allows you to have second chance to fail if you did a snapshot of the data 14:55:02 denk, it is all great suggestion. Just this is some non-essential data, like torrents, games that's why it is on NTFS and on separate device in the first place. But great suggestion ;) 14:57:15 well, attach the device to a vm on the host and copy the data 19:01:49 tsoome: it look like efiserialio.c is missing a few bits to be able to drop in (I had wanted to try to at least rig something up to see if there were any other changes within the OS that needed work) 19:05:25 Today I stumbled across the fact that /lib/svc/method/fs-local differs between vanilla gate and OmniOS 19:06:11 Much of this is 11278 (fenix) - is this planned to be upstreamed? 19:06:24 https://www.illumos.org/issues/11278 19:06:26 → BUG 11278: Encrypted ZFS filesystems should be mounted at boot where possible (In Progress) 19:07:46 https://illumos.org/rb/r/2025/ /_\ 19:08:22 Looks like it needs dusting off 19:09:28 Changing tack slightly, I just saw a PR for openjdk that checked for success of uname(2) being == 0 19:10:08 Now Linux and FreeBSD say that their implementations do, but SunOS and AIX simply say "non-negative" (ie, -1 is failure) 19:10:23 And indeed, we return 1, which is ... interesting 19:11:47 andyf: Oh, Review Board, that's a blast from the past! 19:12:12 Yeah, well just look at the age of that review 19:12:49 https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/uname.html also says non-negative 19:13:12 I mean, that's been shipping in OmniOS for about 4 years, so I would have thought it's a fairly safe fix. 19:13:48 Yep, 0 is fine according to Posix, but so is 1 19:55:50 ptribble: can we just tell openjdk that's wrong? 19:55:59 or, at least, _as well_ tell openjdk 19:56:42 We have a mix of code that does it variously wrong, fwiw 19:56:49 but the most common is assuming that -1 is the only negative number 20:04:52 I've pointed out the wrong assumption, so hopefully it won't be something I have to patch around 20:06:38 I guess maybe I should blame the spec for saying "positive on success, -1 on error" and not covering all the options. 20:07:55 There's even the comment in our source 20:07:58 return (1); /* XXX why 1 and not 0? 1003.1 says "non-negative" */ 20:15:01 sigh 22:00:37 ... and my rigging of that in loader apparently failed
