SPARC 10 FS
by Sean A. Walberg 05 Aug '05

05 Aug '05

I've got a SPARC 10 I'd like to get rid of since I don't use it. Haven't turned it on in a while, but from memory, the specs are: SPARC 10, one processor (I think it's either the 75 or 110 MHz one), ISDN S/T interface 160MB of RAM 19" or 20" single sync monitor (awesome monitor, I have a PC adaptor for it but couldn't get the frequency working on my PC) The video card is upgraded, it's a Creator something or other Fast scsi card (in addition to the internal bus) 2 or 3 SCSI hard drives, around 4GB in total External CDROM w/ enclosure External HDD enclosure (2 or 3 bays) Keyboard, optical mouse + pad Cables I think it was last running Linux, but it also runs Solaris. If you are interested and need more details, I can hook it up and find out or get some pictures. Make me an offer. Thanks, Sean -- Sean A. Walberg <sean(a)ertw.com> http://www.ertw.com

Phantogram portfolio viewing - any interest?
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 05 Jul '05

05 Jul '05

As many of you know, I've been experimenting with a relatively new form of 3D image called a "phantogram", and I presented on this at the April MUUG meeting. I also participate in a shared "folio" (portfolio) with several other phantogram makers who meet online via a Yahoo! group. This shared folio currently has 17 prints by 13 different contributors (myself included), and it is in my hands only until late next week, when I will be mailing it off to the next contributor. Before I send it off, I thought some of you might be interested in viewing these works... We don't have a MUUG meeting this month, but I propose Tuesday, July 12, at 7:30pm as the date and time for us to get together for the viewing. (I imagine that's still the best day to meet, and would cause the least scheduling conflicts.) So, if any of you are interested, just let me know by e-mail (either to me personally, or by reply to the list). If there are enough interested people, I'll arrange for an appropriately-sized room here at the U of M (likely right in the building where I work - Machray Hall), and let you know the details. -- Gilbert E.

What does "uname -a" produce?? is there an smp after the FC%? If not, it's not smpenabled .. maybe your grub/lilo is pointing to the wrong boot image? Dan.

It could be that you have a version of the kernel compiled with no SMP support?

Hyperthreading in newest kernel?
by John Lange 27 Jun '05

27 Jun '05

Does anyone know if the newest stable kernel (2.6.12) has changed the way it displays CPUs with hyperthreading? Previously my system was running 2.6.9 and showed two CPUs even though it had a single P4 with hyperthreading. Now it shows only 1. -- John Lange President OpenIT ltd. www.Open-IT.ca (204) 885 0872 VoIP, Web services, Linux Consulting, Server Co-Location

CIRA Board of Directors - Vote for Bill!
by gedetil＠cs.umanitoba.ca 16 Jun '05

16 Jun '05

Those of you who are the administrative contacts for a registered domain under the .ca top-level domain will have no doubt received an e-mail such as the one below (which you may have already deleted without giving it much thought). Those of you who weren't at Tuesday's MUUG meeting might be interested to know that Bill Reid (a long-time MUUG member, and the presenter at our Tuesday meeting) is one of the candidates for the CIRA board of directors election. I've known Bill for a long time, and can't think of anyone in Manitoba who would be more qualified as a CIRA board member. His knowledge of networks, and his dedication to whatever tasks he takes on, would make him a great asset to CIRA, and to all network users in Manitoba. I strongly encourage you to vote for Bill! Thank you. (This has not been a paid political announcement... :) -- Gilbert E.
