I will make sure this is done on Friday, if no-one else gets to it before then.

I believe we're talking about getting a wired KB/mouse combo that offers a numpad and no requirement for batteries.

2x AA batteries would be appreciated in the interim though until we make a decision! :)

Finance it by selling off the current keyboard and mouse?

Hi,

Well...it took 5 months and 6 failed unix derivative installs, but red is 
_finally_ working!

We're running Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10), the graphics are all working with 
the XVR-1200 cards, and member logins are all working too. Thanks to 
[TRS], [NTU] and [AHC] for all the help. All that remains is to install 
OpenGL and WolfET :P

For future reference, to change anything to do with the resolution/colour 
depth, use fbconfig.

We should probably get a non-shit screen for it now too.

Subject: [tech] Martello and Mussel upgraded to Squeeze,
 Mooneye put into new hardware
Message-ID: <alpine.DEB.1.10.1101080000390.2328@martello.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au>

Hi all,

As those of you tuned to your designated propaganda machine will have 
noticed, we did some pretty serious upgrades today.

* Martello and Mussel had their operating systems and software packages 
  upgraded to the new prerelease Debian version (squeeze), including new 
  kernels (hence the reboots required) and OpenLDAP versions.

* Mooneye was put into the hardware of old Murjan, a Dell PowerEdge 2850 
  with dual dual-core 3.6 GHz Xeons and 2 GB of RAM. Four disks have been 
  set up in a RAID 6 and one kept as a hot spare.

The upgrade to squeeze was slight bumpy and there may still be some things 
that don't work; if you discover something, please let your nearest Wheel 
member know or email wheel at ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au.

We also managed to switch out the KVM for a different one and drink some 
beer.

Thanks to [DJA] and [MRD] for their help today, and to [MSH] and [TRS] for 
sorting some of the remaining issues out.

And of course, a big thank you to David, who leaves for a five-month stay in the lovely town of Albany in a little over 110 hours and who probably should have been moving house or dealing with his own affairs!

Hi guys,

Joe @ WAIA still has the Sunfire B1600 w/ 5 blades (but no internal HDDs).
It's still available for UCC if UCC would like it.

The catch - it has to be picked up from Joe today before noon.

Please email joe at waia.asn.au if UCC decides it wants it :)

We had 5 x B1600 chassis and about 50 blades at UBC. They're.. not very good.
