[9fans] out of physical memory; no swap configured

Hi, I used Erik's 9atoms.iso to install Plan 9. When its booting, after its asking for root partition and username, I get the error message repeated: out of physical memory; no swap configured. Why, oh why? I use fossil without venti, on a 2GB partition, the RAM is also 2 GB. I found the

[9fans] unrecognized ethernet card

Hi Everybody, I installed Plan 9 on a new computer (Erik's 9atoms.iso), it doesnt recognize the ethernet device (there is no /net/ether0). I wonder if something can be done. If changing configuration doesnt help, I hope its similar enough to an already supported device, so a few changes here and

Thanks, after I provided the service name, ip/pppoe asked for username and password. However I still didnt have Internet access. I tried ipconf/outside but it times out. Here is the complete output of ip/pppoe: http://pastebin.com/V7ACsh6g Did I forgot something? Thanks: Bela 2010/2/23 Russ

Thanks. I got a username, a password, and an IP address from the Internet provider. How do I give this information to ip/pppoe? If I have to use Factotum, my question is: how do I give the username and password to Factotum, so PPPoE can use it? Thanks: Bela 2010/2/20 Russ Cox r...@swtch.com:

Re: [9fans] Shall we fix the use of Up/Dn arrows?

I agree, but only because PgDown and PgUp do the same as the Down and Up arrows. Having two pairs of keys doing the same thing on the keyboard is a waste. On the other hand, I found it easy to get used to the Plan 9 approach. Its comfortable for me either way, I only think that this modification

Re: [9fans] Acer with 9atom.iso: out of physical memory

i'll take a look at this. looks like a bug. the number of e820 entries is also curious. when its already installed, the system says at boot time: found 1 e820 entries what does /dev/swap say? - erik I checked with disk/prep in live CD mode, 9fat = 100 MB, nvram = 512 B, fossil = 1.44

2009/8/26 erik quanstrom quans...@quanstro.net: fossil reports 'out of physical memory' immediatelly when its mounting the partition. I cant get to take a look at /dev/swap. can you use the boot cd to modify plan9.ini to set *e820print=1 ? - erik I tried it, nothing changed

Re: [9fans] Acer with 9atom.iso: out of physical memory

it wasn't expected that anything would change. i was interested in the e820 output.  if you would send that along, that would be helpful. - erik Oh, sorry. The install disk wrote '54 e820', the installed system already writes '1 e820' without this line added.

Re: [9fans] Plan 9 hg with private repositories

Presumably this is because ssh is sshv1 but bitbucket requires sshv2. Russ Correct me if I am wrong, but an sshv2 server is also providing sshv1 too. Maybe when the Plan 9 ssh client is facing sshv2, instead of shutting down with an error, it should try sshv1, or wait until its offered, i

[9fans] manpages broken/outdated

I have checked it on 3 different installations, the 'usbdisk' manpage is missing, on fresh installations too. Its not a filesystem corruption for sure. Most other USB-related manpages still list the nonexistent -f and -l parameters for the 'usb/disk' command. Greetings: Béla

Re: [9fans] manpages broken/outdated

Erik: thank you for helping, I see that the usb(4) manpage is up to date. The old usbdisk(4) manpage had a working example for attaching a FAT filesystem formatted USB hardrive. Can you tell me, where I can find the updated version of this example? Thanks: Béla

Re: [9fans] manpages broken/outdated

Well, then simply running 'usbfat:' is supposed to work, right? I see the warning about the untested drivers in usb(4), so a bug is no surprise i guess... I try to create a proper bugreport with exact hardware specification then. 2009/8/10 erik quanstrom quans...@quanstro.net: On Mon Aug 10
