hi,
i have some minor issues with cpu/auth server.
i had kept this line:
aux/listen -q -t /rc/bin/service.auth -d /rc/bin/service tcp
in /cfg/mill/cpurc (mill is my cpu server name)
now, i moved it to /rc/bin/cpurc below the keyfs and cron commands (uncommented)
now, drawterm works, which is

I'm using both physical cpus on my ESX-based Plan 9 server. Should I
be expecting erratic behaviour?

your comments remind me non specificly of a monty python

Thanks Russ for your comments,
This problem is not only with my fs. With the ramfs:

I'm no VMWare fan and their policy for releasing documentation used to

Or better yet, use drawterm to a vmware based Plan 9 stand alone CPU
server. Copy/paste works, rio is responsive, and the VMWare host
never needs to enter graphics mode. Don't configure the vm for
multiple cpus though, that doesn't work so well (but virtualizing
multiple cpus doesn't real
echo hwaccel off >'#v/vgactl'
to be clear, this behavior is while running the old plan 9 vmware
tool, right? without that, i'd expect the snarf buffer to work
properly within the guest environment, but you won't have any way to
get things out.
hi,
is anyone able to run rio well in plan9 cpu/auth server on vmware fusion 2.0?
i am able to run it in stand alone mode. but once i switch to cpu/auth
server mode, i only see black screen. then i am able to open new
windows, use it to some extent but things get clumsy. i dont see the
window bor
hi russ,
okay, this confirms some of the postings in the past.
in my opinion, this shortfall is really a bad one. cut-and-paste is
something very common operation (that too in plan9). it is really
difficult to live without it. i wonder why it has to be this
complicated in vmware.
btw this is wha
