I installed chronyd and tried running it in a zone, got "Could not open kvm"

Why would chronyd try to open kvm lol

has anyone tried openntpd?

looks like -x will stop it from attempting to adjust the zones clock and lets it run as a server

package didnt come with a smf service tho "_"

you might be able to steal the smf script from the omnios package

Does this - "mod_perl.so: symbol do_open9: referenced symbol not found" mean the guest has too old a base image for the current pkg build? apache with mod_perl

is mod_perl coming from pkgsrc ?

yes

Also apache, perl

then the base image shouldn't matter.. it shuold all be using the same release unless someone's gone in and changed it in the particular instance

i wonder if maybe mod_perl.so is pointing at the system perl instead of the pkgsrc one

I'm reinstalling the pkgsrc perl right now, maybe that will make it happier.

could also try ldd on mod_perl.so and see what it's trying to use

pkgin fetches are taking forever today

yeh sorry, I'm trying to fix that but in doing so it's making it even slower

Ah, ok. I'll quit debugging my end of _that_ bit then. :)

jperkin: is "pkg_add: no pkg found for 'perl', sorry." behavior also expected right now?

pjustice: what operation caused that?

`pkg_add perl`

several times

I'd recommend doing it via pkgin so that any fetch failures are clearly shown, pkg_add does support installing over http but it's not brilliant

Might be just a timeout?

the way pkg_add works is it fetches index.html and tries to parse that looking for package names (yeh, icky right?), that will certainly be more susceptible to issues than pkgin which knows exactly which files to get via pkg_summary

I wouldn't ever recommend using pkg_add unless you are specifically doing operations against local packages

basically pkgsrc.smartos.org is served via NFS and something is making that really really slow right now, it's never been brilliant but something is causing even worse performance than normal, so I'm working on moving it to local disk but that's taking a while

I've just killed a package upload that was probably not helping, so it may be a bit better now

Noted. I was forcing the issue of a reinstall by doing pkg_del, so used pkg_add, but there's no reason I have to use pkg_add for this.

there's also the packages.pkgsrc.pub/smartos mirror which may be faster and geographically closer anyway

wiedi: btw, is there any chance of mirroring Darwin too? ;)

Hard to get much net.closer than MNX. The bulk of our uplink passes through Chicago.

ah ok, hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to cut over and then it should be a lot quicker

Using pkgin solved that part of the issue.

maybe it's geting waterlogged? :P

hehe ;)

still getting this after reinstall of everything that seems related -

Cannot load lib/httpd/mod_perl.so into server: ld.so.1: httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /opt/local/lib/httpd/mod_perl.so: symbol do_open9: referenced symbol not found

(actually i'm guessing there probably aren't any cables going under lake michigan)

Pretty sure the fiber runs along the railroad tracks for most of the distance.

yeah, it probably goes around

Though under the lake might be less variable

and there's _plenty_ of railroads around there

3" of rain here last night, in a few hours

i knew someone that fell asleep waiting for one of the 5-track crossings to clear :)

because just as one train was finished, another one one of the other tracks would start in

pjustice: mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist⊙ldo/msg1913443.html ?

looks like we just need to pull in a newer mod_perl or that patch

Oh, nice, thanks.

Belatedly, do you want a ticket for that?

ah no need, I fixed it already

I've been trying to pass through my zigbee dongle through to an lx zone using add device however when i use vmadm get uuid info it tells me that it's not a device but a disk...

has anyone gotten a zigbee usb dongle to work on smartos?

papertigers: weren't you messing with that at some point?

sjorge was doing some home automation stuff too, but that might have been z-wave not zigbee. I don't remember.

some z-wave dongles work

but i use zigbee and non work natively

they all seem to use either a CH320 (?) or CP2xx chip

neither we have drivers for

i had one custom made with an FTDI chip but that one doesnt work either

openstandards: I was able to pass through an entire USB controller card to a BHYVE VM. Would that be an option?

so i just pass an entite usb controller to a bhyve vm

nahamu: thats what i do

startech has a nice 4 port one were each port is it's own controller

sjorge: does that mean you can pass each port to a separate VM?!

yeah

that's really cool

it's not a cheap card though

I mean, it should be 4x more expensive if it contains 4x the controllers :D

it's basically a x4 bifircated (sp?) into 4x x1 which a usb controller each

bifurcated

(I think)

thank you i'll give it a go haven't got many pcie slots available... might be able to source one

i'm 90% sure its this one

StarTech.com 4-Port USB 3.0 PCIe Card with 4 Channels 5Gbps Dedicated (USB 3.1 Gen 1) - UASP - SATA / LP4 Power Supply - PCI Express Adapter Card (PEXUSB3S44V) amzn.eu/d/fnSPoj5

the other uart chip we dont support is a CP210x

i tried my hand at writing a driver but it was way above my skill level

thanks papertigers

jperkin: ah yes, not sure why it was not included in the script before but should be now.

jbk / openstandards I passed through a zwave usb dongle and it worked once I fixed the driver in illumos

openstandards: also note that if you want to do something like pass a pci device through to a bhyve VM you have to be on an intel box. It's not suppported today on AMD with illumos bhyve

but now that I have plex under bhyve again rather than lx I am tempted to figure out how to get that stuff working with bhyve for AMD

thank you sjorge and papertigers

pjustice: pkgsrc.smartos.org should be faster again now

Thank you!
