[9fans] Connecting to the wiki from linux with plan9port

I'm assuming it's possible to mount the wiki using plan9port however I haven't been able to find documentation on it. If it is indeed possible I'd like to update the wiki with instructions on how. Does anyone have any insight into how to make this happen? -Cameron

written. I would like to get other folks' evaluations of the work so it can be improved. just a couple minor details: 1) in http://dlc.casita.net/~dlc/vp9cb/tc05.png, you do not need such kernel messages scribbling on top of rio. just swipe another window off an edge run cat /dev/kprint.

Re: [9fans] OT: What linux has become

http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/kernel/1408.1/02496.html just when you think a given operating systems would not be bastardized any further, some genius fucks it to the next level. launchd/smf and a webserver as process 1... baffling, this is.

Re: [9fans] Many bugs in eqn(1)

sorry, i am unable to help with this specific problem. i only use the ms macros and use tex for anything more. however, just fyi: Further there is a licencing issue on (I think) Lucida fonts (which can be only used on p9 but not on p9p), the license for the lucida* fonts prohibits the

Re: [9fans] Strange RC behaviour

In RC, cat EOF seems not to work inside blocks ({ ... }). Why is this so? Could this be bug or is it a feature? from the 'bugs' section of the rc(1) man page: Functions containing here documents don't work. i believe a block is semantically equivalent to function. rather, a block

Re: [9fans] Installation on supermicro X9SCAA

2) I had a hard time to figure where were the sources of my current kernel. I first thought it was a patched pc kernel, and finally used 'find | grep termf' to learn it was a nix/k10 kernel. What does k10 means? May I have some hope to get a working 9atom Plan9 kernel for this board or should

Re: [9fans] Compiler Message

In tried to install Inferno because I thought that it was the simplest way to access (at least the file system of) my Plan9 Raspberry Pi from my Mac. The other solutions I tried are awkward: 1. Plan9 under Virtual Box (don't want to pay for VMWare/Parallels). Configured network card

Re: [9fans] Compiler Message

Q for Mac is horrible, dodgy software. Then again, I didn't build it from source. The good thing is, it'll convert images just fine. older versions probably. i built qemu-1.7.0 from source before 2.0 was stable and have had no problems. i own fusion, but i prefer qemu since fusion occupies

Re: [9fans] Compiler Message

What about Drawterm on Mac? Is it working well? yes. i use drawterm from http://code.swtch.com/drawterm i compiled it to run under X since i have to run that beast anyways, but there is also drawterm-cocoa which builds and runs native under osx. http://bitbucket.org/jas/drawterm-cocoa

Re: [9fans] The Third Button

with drawterm on osx, button 2 click is option+click, button 3 is command+click. in qemu, button 2 is shift+command+click and button 3 is command+click. on pc's with ps/2 two button mice, i believe shift+click is button 2. if you are using something different, try various combinations of

Re: [9fans] The Third Button

i forgot to mention: alternately, kbmap(3) is supposed to let you use function keys as mouse buttons.

Re: [9fans] Pull and compile latest kernel (sys call 53 error)

How do I find the kernels that I pulled? They don't appear to be in /sys/src/9/pc they are in /386 (ie - /386/9pcf). a pull copies binaries as well as source. After I have found the kernel, do I with it by copying it into /n/9fat as specified here?:

Re: [9fans] Pull and compile latest kernel (sys call 53 error)

I downloaded Plan9, ran the pull script, and then tried to compile and install a new kernel by running mk install in /sys/src/9/pc Compilation seemed to go fine, but then I got an syscall 53 error (the error seems to come from ar, see below). you need to reboot using one of the kernels

Re: [9fans] Plan9 Sources Repository

Yet: is there a source control system behind it? Would it be possible to check out directly from there? for the bell-labs distribution, the filesystem itself keeps a daily record of the source tree. you can access it with 9fs sourcesdump and the daily state of sources will be in

Re: [9fans] file server speed

That was in an office environment. At home I use fossil+(plan9port)venti running on linux-based NAS. This ends up working very well for me since I have resources to spare on that machine. This also lets me backup my arenas via CrashPlan. I use a I am very interested to use such a setup.
