My experiences with the new hurd installation cds
First of all, i'm really happy that you are doing this and really greatful for all the work you put into making the hurd run! I have just tried the new dvd.iso on real hardware and these are some of the things i encountered. 1.) The installation still won't go through unless you select English - United states for language and locale. 2.) Partitioning still fails to recognize the size and present file systems on my harddrive. It lists my 300gb harddrive as 137.9gb and does not list the existing file systems or operating systems. So for a sucessful install your other operating systems will get wiped while partitioning the drive. 3.) My previously working network interface is not detected anymore thus i have no networking. lspci output: Via Technologies, inc. VT6105/VT610GS [Rhine-III] (rev 86) Hope this helps in some way and if you have any questions or require some log files and such don't hesitate to ask! /Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-hurd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: My experiences with the new hurd installation cds
Thanks for the quick reply! 1.) The locale i'm using at the moment is english - united states. The locale i use doesn't really matter since the swedish keyboard layout doesn't work in console anyway (as for system language i prefer english). So it's not a big issue, just thought you'd like to konow. 2.) Okay, no probs. Hopefully i wont have to re-install to often. 3.) Output of lspci -n 03:00.0 0200: 1106:3106 (rev 86) Hope that helps! /Peter pe...@kahn.nu, le Sat 16 Jun 2012 20:52:08 +0200, a écrit : 1.)

Re: My experiences with the new hurd installation cds
1.) Yup, that works for me too. Tried English - United Kingdom and that just aborted in the middle of installation. 3.) Ok, so the networking should work, as long as you use supported hardware. I'll replace the network card and try again. With any luck i have something thats supported!

And more generally, sorting out, in netdde's Makefile, which drivers are ok to disable (e.g. because it's non-x86 hardware), and which drivers we should work on supporting, that'd be helpful too. No real technical knowledge needed here, just need to check what a driver is good for, by e.g. looking in linux/drivers/net/Makefile for the corresponding CONFIG_* item, and then read in linux/drivers/net/Kconfig such the description and dependencies on non-x86 archs.

I wish i could tell you. If there is some way i can get logs from the installation or see console output i'd be happy to provide you the details. At this point the computer just restarts, thats all information i have. The installer seems flaky in some ways. Sometimes it just stalls (again i wish i could give you some logs and information but i don't know how to access them). If i try the installation again it runs through without problems. Once installed the system is rock solid though. It just works for me without a glitch. 3.) Ok, so the networking should work, as long as you use supported hardware. Well, yes, of course :) It however seems that via-rhine now builds fine. Thats good news. I tried the three network cards i had laying around and none worked. But i'll stick to the Netgear i'm using at the moment as it seems to work better than the d-link i previously used. For one it gets a dhcp adress with the older images. I could have a look at the netdde makefile and see if i can help out there. But don't count on anything. I have used linux for 13 years now and i have at least picked picked up something. I can read c/c++ code and have a basic understanding on how it works but i couldn't write a single line of code on my own. I'm trying my best to get my brother onboard though. And he has programmed a lot of linux stuff from kernel modules to...

python-psutil patch failing test suite
Hi again,
Here is another patch that I could use some help with. I was essentially
trying to cheat by just
using the posix files. It does allow the package to build, however it fails
the test suites because
_EXTRA_ALL isn't defined.
I was going to copy the _pslinux and _psutil_linux files to something like
_psgnu and _psutil_gnu.
However, the linux code relies a lot on /proc and uses /proc/cpuinfo which we
don't have.
The other option would be to try to use the _psbsd and _psutil_bsd files.
I am open to suggestions or help..
Thanks!
Barry deFreese
