Tags: bieszczady, gallery, unixalia
Last week I have returned from Bieszczady mountains. It was beautiful vacation, i was walking in mountains all alone. I haven’t bring with any of my machines, it was only me and nature.
I was on “Bieszczadzkie Anioły” festival, on which I could see “Stare Dobre Małżeństwo” band from close and have met couple of peoples.
But, like all good things, it is over now :-( For consolation I have that: gallery. Enjoy viewing! ;-)
PS: And I’m inviting all of you to Unixalia – free conference about UNIX. I’ll be talking there about Xen on NetBSD. Rest of conference will be about OpenSolaris and Solaris technologies. I hope we’ll meet there.

Tags: disk, netbsd, new
I have added today new disk for home. Until now everything was placed on one 10GB disk with system. Now myrkr have second disk 500GB, which is used entirely by /home. Adding was easy as that commands:
# fdisk -u wd1
# disklabel -e wd1
# newfs -O2 wd1e
And adding to fstab, that’s all. I have used FFS, because LFS is still considered experimental and unstable. Now I can move my main repository of files to myrkr and can turn off kashyyyk, so I can be more green. ;-) kashyyyk from now on will be used only for multimedia things.

Tags: new gateway, PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS
Tonight I have just configured new machine with NetBSD to become my new gateway. And now it is. Most features are already done (http, mysql, ipv6, shell). Only thing to configure is ejabberd and openvpn, which I’m using privately. So – here it is:
myrkr> uname -srm
NetBSD 4.0_STABLE i386
Here is dmesg from that machine.
PS: I just love PKGSRC_MESSAGE_RECIPIENTS, which send you mail with content of MESSAGE file of the package. :-)

Tags: ipv6
Today I have setup IPv6 on my home LAN. Now I can connect to websites, which use IPv6 with my unique address from my laptop. Most work was done on linux router, on client it was only one command:
# sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.accept_rtadv=1
That’s all. On Linux (router) except for setup tunnel to tunnelbroker it’s only matter of configure and running radvd. And of course reconfigure some daemons to listen on IPv6. And now this site can be accessed both by both protocols. Hurray! :-)

Tags: compaq, netbsd, palm, tungsten
In this week I’ve received two “new” older machines. One is Compaq, pIII 800MHz, which will be my new gateway instead of kashyyyk (http://morr.pl/olddies). It has already installed NetBSD, and in this week I’ll try to exchange the router. I have installed NetBSD 4.0 to get latest stable release of NetBSD.
The second machine is rather little: Palm Tungsten T. I have got it from my friend. One of its feature is Bluetooth, which I use to connect Palm to computer and to phone (e.g. to dial number from address book ;-)). It looks nice and is nice too ;) Probably that will be my primary mobile computer.

Tags: e17, enlightenment, gos, netbsd
Today I’ve installed e17 on NetBSD – development version of Enlightenment. It was result of toying with gOS – Ubuntu with e17. It looks very nice and it’s almost as fast as fluxbox. With some nice theme it can looks like this. Installing of e17 from pkgsrc is simple. You need to checkout wip (pkgsrc-wip) and do that:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/wip/e17 && make install clean
Only thing which won’t work right now in NetBSD is screenlocking. It has issues with pam. But other than that – it runs fine.

Tags: compal, laptop, linux, virtual machines
I’ve got my second laptop. It’s Compal – Core2duo, 4GB of RAM and 250GB SATA disk, NVIDIA 8600GT. I’ll generally use it to work and develop things. Memory is needed to run couple of virtual machines and Core2duo VT bit will help too. Use of Broadcom 43xx wifi makes me to use Linux on that machine. Apart from broadcom and touchpad, this machine is really nice. :-)
UPDATE: In NetBSD-current there is bwi driver for broadcom.

Couple of weeks ago I’ve written little howto for person, which had problem with performance of writing to disk on NetBSD. Original can be found on forum on news.netbsd.pl (must be logged) or mirror. You can find translated version to English on this place. I’m planning to write bigger howto, meanwhile I’ve recommend to read another howto: http://www.selonen.org/arto/netbsd/
