Re: [9fans] applying a patch on 9front
Hi jimerickso, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to plan9, so you've run into something I haven't seen yet. Sorry I can't be of more help. My experience was that I couldn't get the system to recognise and authenticate the wifi so it would connect to the network at boot. I modified my plan9.ini with ether0=type=iwl essid=MYESSID debug=1 wpapsk=WPAPASSWORD For some reason this failed to authenticate and connect my machine to my localnet. I could however run the following once my machine was up and the wifi worked. bind -a '#l1' /net echo 'key proto=wpapsk essid=MYESSID !password=WPAPASSWORD' >> /mnt/factotum/ctl aux/wpa -2p -s MYESSID /net/ether1 ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1 At any rate we should probably move this to the 9front email list if we need to discuss it further.

Re: [9fans] applying a patch on 9front
HI jimerickso, To get the patch to apply on my system, I used cd /sys/src/9/pc cat $home/etheriwl.c.diff | ape/patch -p5 Then you need to copy iwm-7265-17 from the openbsd firmware blobs and put it into /lib/firmware, then build your kernel. This will configure the iwm-7265-17 firmware blob to load with an ac-7265. Unfortunately, not all ac-7265's require this particular blob. I have another one that requires the iwm-7265D-29. It also identifies itself with the same pci id, 0x095a, so there is no way to differentiate which firmware to load at the moment. You have to know what firmware the ac-7265 needs and then code etheriwl.c to suit. Good luck and I hope you get your wireless working. I kind of gave up on mine as I couldn't get it to work at boot, but if you get it working let me know.

[9fans] Modification of etheriwl.c for AC 7265 ethernet card
Hello All, I needed to add a pci vid/did to etheriwl.c to get my wifi card working. I'm sending the patch to the mailing list, but if folks know of a better place for this info, let me know and I will re post it. The card I have is an Intel AC-7265 and I am running 9front. Now that I have my card working, I would like to have it connect at boot. I have the following commands to run. bind -a '#l1' /net echo 'key proto=wpapsk essid=ESSID !password=PASSWORD' >> /mnt/factotum/ctl aux/wpa -2p -s ESSID /net/ether1 ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1 I was wondering where to put these commands. Should they go into /bin/termrc or is there a more suitable place?

I want to display the image rendered by page, but after it has been passed through dvips. So either plumb start window kertex/dvips $wdir/$0 '|' page or plumb start window kertex/dvips $wdir/$0 '|' page -w or plumb start window kertex/dvips $wdir/$0 '|' plumb -id image have this work for me.

Re: [9fans] use of plumber for new rule
A small improvement on the last solution to my problem. > data matches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(dvi|DVI)' > arg isfile $0 > plumb start window kertex/dvips $wdir/$0 '|' page > This solution opens a default sized window and I need to resize it to see the .dvi. Instead of a pipe to page, I now use a pipe to plumb -id image. This makes a full sized window. The last line becomes plumb start window kertex/dvips $wdir/$0 '|' plumb -id image Chris -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tce7385fe52c532d6-Mc29d1e5d7b39cd973f7d33eb Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

[9fans] use of plumber for new rule
Hello all, I am trying to implement a rule that will display dvi files in plumber. There are currently two rules that cover dvi files. Neither will allow for rendered displaying via a mouse 3 click in acme. This does work for ps and pdf files, so I would like to change it to allow for dvi's as well. My thought is to pass this through a pipe from dvips to page. I have built and installed kertex thanks to Thierry Laronde. In a terminal all I have to call is kertex/dvips | page. Unfortunately the logic escapes me on how to do this properly with the plumber. I have the following blocks that pertain to the implementation of pdf / ps viewing. typeis text datamatches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+' datamatches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])' arg isfile $0 plumb to postscript plumb start page -w $file typeis text datamatches '[a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+' datamatches '([a-zA-Z¡-�0-9_\-.,/]+)\.(ps|PS|eps|EPS|pdf|PDF|dvi|DVI|doc|DOC|epub|EPUB|cb[tz]|CB[TZ])' arg isfile $0 plumb to postscript plumb start page -w $file dst is image plumb to image plumb client page -wi dst is postscript arg isfile $data plumb start page -w $data These were the settings set by the system. I have hacked around with them, but can't seem to get a solution and I am sadly not versed enough with plumb(6). Does anyone have a hint or idea on how I might accomplish my goal? Reading man plumb pages as I await a reply. Thanks in advance, Chris Gorman -- 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tce7385fe52c532d6-M5f805c1f59ac39c459fe847d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
