00:18:34 <antranigv> rmustacc the Apple USB Ethernet. The Model is 4588CE according to dmesg. the driver is axf. Now I'm trying to figure out how to install an IPS package locally :D 
00:18:47 <antranigv> mounting DOS/FAT32/PCFS took me like 10 minutes
00:34:24 <antranigv> turns out the p5i files were just text...
00:50:18 <Guest97> hi all
00:50:54 <antranigv> hi Guest97 
00:50:57 <Guest97> try to get open-vm-tools running, says that NTP is a dependency and NTP is currently offline
00:51:13 <Guest97> so I was trying to get NTP to report as online first
00:51:19 <Guest97> kinda stuck
00:51:48 <Guest97> I've done 'svcadm disable ntp' and 'svcadm enable ntp'
00:52:25 <Guest97> running v11 r151048i
00:52:35 <antranigv> Guest97 try running `svcadm enable chrony` . looks like that's the NTP daemon
00:54:57 <Guest97> 'chrony' doesn't match any instances
00:56:00 <antranigv> Guest97 weird. I have chrony and not ntp.
00:56:19 <antranigv> Guest97 well, regardless. what does `svcs -xv ntp` say?
00:57:11 <Guest97> svc:/network/ntp:default (Network Time Protocol (NTP) Version 4)
00:57:11 <Guest97>  State: offline since Sun Jan 28 18:33:56 2024
00:57:12 <Guest97> Reason: Unknown.
00:57:12 <Guest97>    See: http://illumos.org/msg/SMF-8000-AR

00:57:14 <Guest97> Impact: This service is not running.
00:57:53 <antranigv> Guest97 weird. btw you can try a Gist next time, in case the output is longer. 
00:58:05 <Guest97> sure
01:08:21 <Guest97> are you running open-vm-tools?
01:08:38 <Guest97> antranigv
01:08:49 <antranigv> Guest97 nope :/
01:08:59 <antranigv> That's the ESXi thing, right?
01:09:18 <Guest97> yup
01:09:41 <antranigv> Guest97 does it even work for illumos based systems?
01:10:28 <Guest97> yeah, there is a service, and it is installed.  I don't think that VMware makes tools for Solaris any longer... but they still develop open vm tools for it
01:11:01 <Guest97> svc:/system/virtualization/open-vm-tools:default (Open Virtual Machine Tools)
01:11:01 <Guest97>  State: offline since Sun Jan 28 17:38:46 2024
01:11:14 <antranigv> and it relies on NTP?
01:12:15 <Guest97> when I do a 'svcs -l open-vm-tools'
01:12:51 <Guest97> '''# svcs -l open-vm-tools
01:12:51 <Guest97> fmri         svc:/system/virtualization/open-vm-tools:default

01:12:56 <Guest97> dependency   exclude_all/none svc:/network/chrony:default (absent)'''
01:12:58 <Guest97> sorry - that wasn't formatted right
01:14:35 <Guest97> does that 'exclude_all' mean it doesn't need it then?
01:15:11 <antranigv> Guest97 I've been using OmniOS for 2 weeks so I wanna say "not sure" :D 
01:15:20 <antranigv> let's see if someone else knows.
10:50:24 <antranigv> Say that now I've downloaded core and extras locally. how can I convert them to a cute website like pkg.omnios.org/...../index.shtml ? :)
11:44:12 <antranigv> Okay, figured that out too!
12:09:22 <andyf> antranigv - I saw you asked about rust in omnios-build-tools. Yes, there are a couple of things in omnios-build that use rust. Off the top of my head there is the python orjson module, and actually more and more python modules have bits written in rust. It's a somewhat bizarre trend.
12:43:36 <antranigv> andyf bizarre indeed
12:44:00 <antranigv> andyf on the bright side, look what I have now! https://pkg.omnios0.hackerspace.am/en/index.shtml
12:44:16 <andyf> Oh, nice!
12:50:13 <antranigv> it was not as hard as I thought. But there's more to learn
12:55:07 <antranigv> speed went from 1M/s to 10M/s yeeeey
13:00:43 <antranigv> I'll modify my mirror a bit so I can host extras as well
13:00:49 <antranigv> I wonder how big are the extras
13:00:57 <antranigv> and to set it to a version number as well
13:01:31 <antranigv> this is just a trial run in our hackerspace. I need to run on a production server that has a proper UPS, better INET, etc. but it's really easy to setup
13:01:40 <antranigv> I wonder if I can mirror pkgsrc of Joyent as well.
15:02:51 <antranigv> pkgrecv got stuck at ooce/application/texlive; for the third time already
15:32:34 <antranigv> how does IPS choose which origin/mirror to use?
15:32:40 <antranigv> does it do like a ping test or something?
16:01:21 <antranigv> I was just reading the logs and looks like I ramble a lot :)
16:04:54 <wacki> Sometimes it's good to hear such ramblings from someone outside the bubble ;-)
16:05:29 <antranigv> wacki awww, thank you
16:05:50 <antranigv> but looks like I'm joining the bubble more and more each day
16:23:08 <antranigv> after a LONG wait it continued
16:45:27 <ptribble> What I remember about texlive in general is that it's enormous, which could have an impact
16:50:24 <antranigv> I wonder if there's a better way to mirror. Altho spending a day once every 6 months is not a bad idea.
16:55:08 <andyf> texlive has so many small files that it really stresses IPS. It should get there though!
16:55:39 <andyf> As far as I remember, IPS constantly monitors the response times from all of the origins and mirrors, and will dynamically allocate requests based on that.
16:56:05 <andyf> I certainly don't see a slow down on my boxes in the UK which have the US mirrors configured, despite them being relatively slow for me compared to the main servers in Zurich
16:59:51 <antranigv> So having stable core + stable extra took about 30G. I also need to bring in bloody just in case someone wants to do a development
17:00:27 <antranigv> the URL sucks, I should do /r151048/core and /r151048/extra like the main IPS server, otherwise I will get confused
17:00:38 <antranigv> (serving on / was a bad idea)
17:01:09 <antranigv> Now I've set hackerspace.am to origin and ETH to mirror. I hope that's normal for IPS.
17:02:09 <antranigv> andyf this might sound dumb, but can I add speedtest-py or speedtest-go into packages? it would be fun to have it in extras, I'm sure many people would use it.
17:02:14 <andyf> That must mean that hackerspace.am is a full copy, not a mirror. Usually you'd set the origin to point to ETH as it's the definitive source, and sometimes might have files that haven't replicated yet.
17:02:29 <andyf> mirrors (that is, pkg/server instances configured as mirrors) can't act as origins
17:02:44 <antranigv> andyf I learned that by reading the docs, so I did a full copy.
17:03:05 <antranigv> and I'll setup a cronjob to pkgrecv every 24 hours.
17:03:35 <andyf> antranigv - speedtest - yes, sounds like a good idea. The only criterion for packages in omnios-extra is that they have somebody that uses them!
17:03:51 <antranigv> looks like I'll be changing the domain to pkg.omnios.illumos.am :)))))
17:04:33 <antranigv> andyf I'll go over the porting process and do it this week. Personally I use it a lot, and the Go version seems tiny and fancy at the same time.
17:07:03 <andyf> there is also the svc:/application/pkg/mirror:default service, which I do remember getting working at one point. It is probably easier to just have a cron job kicking off a pkg recv though - that's all the service does as far as I remember.
17:08:14 <antranigv> is there periodic on illumos?
17:08:37 <antranigv> FreeBSD's periodic is similar to cron (actually, it gets run from a cron) but runs only once when running
17:08:53 <antranigv> say I have a pkgrecv every 1 hour, but the first one hasn't finished yet... the second one might kick of
17:09:00 <antranigv> but with periodic, only once will kick off
17:15:00 <andyf> No, I don't see that available.
17:24:21 <antranigv> what do the numbers mean? r151048, r151049, etc. do they change weekly or monthly?
17:41:44 <andyf> Take a look at https://omnios.org/schedule as a start
18:32:57 <antranigv> so each number is a quarter
18:34:52 <danmcd> No.  Each even number is 6mo stable.  each odd number marks activity between each even number.  The `bloody` pkg5 repo should always be (current-stable + 1).
18:42:06 <antranigv> danmcd ahh I see!
18:57:10 <antranigv> I was able to setup extra.omnios repo as well
18:57:13 <antranigv> https://pkg.omnios0.hackerspace.am/r151048/extra/en/index.shtml
18:57:44 <antranigv> but here's what's bothering me. I have to use a proto://domain in proxy_base
18:58:07 <antranigv> I think it might be better to setup only a path i.e. /rVersion/core
18:58:35 <antranigv> that way, in case the domain changes in the future (which will be in my case in couple of hours) I don't have to reconfigure a lot of things
18:58:52 <antranigv> I assume the code for depotd is out there. I have to check
19:10:27 <andyf> It's part of https://github.com/omniosorg/pkg5
20:15:09 <papertigers> antranigv: do you have notes from setting up a local mirror by any chance?
20:15:26 <antranigv> papertigers yes, all of it. I'm planning on blogging it in a bit.
20:15:27 <papertigers> It's something I haven been meaning to do for awhile but never got around to
20:15:36 <papertigers> nice, looking forward to it!
20:15:49 <antranigv> First illumos post on my blog. fingers crossed.
