time to write.
my big question is How do I get my employer to need plan9?
-Steve
a special case for plan9
clients.
FWIW there is another weirdness of windows, the windows DHCP server doesn't
communicate with the DNS server on windows, it expects the client to send an
Inform packet to the DHCP server telling it of the clients chosen name.
-Steve
and vesa drivers.
Anyone tested it?
I have 1600x1200x16 at work on an nvidia card.
-Steve
This is the paper contains detail of the low level protocol. I have a paper copy
but due to moving house that is out of reach for quite a while.
A. G. Fraser, Early Experiment with Asynchronous Time Division Networks,
IEEE Networks, pp. 12-26, Jan. 1993.
-Steve
, its just a matter of exactly what your
problem is. Mine is a relatively small amount of rather dynamic data.
if you want it I oprted it to APE here: contrib/install steve/seft
-Steve
grep doesn't (yet? :-).
-Steve
if the exec bit in the
file's mode is not set.
Is it another case of This is Plan9 not Unix or perhaps
I am mis-remembering that too?
-Steve
to open files
with OEXEC as it is unlikely that I will be storing plan9 executables
on windows.
Thanks for the help guys.
-Steve
is there a file named ls in the cifs directory? if not, wouldn't
the bug be that the cifs server is allowing an open of a file
that's not there?
There is a file in the directory, its just not a plan9 executable,
its an ARM ELF file.
-Steve
its down at
the moment but it has been reliable for many years now.
-Steve
Is there an Amazon S3 based 9P server? Just thinking out loud...
I thought brucee had one?
-Steve
bounding function.
Is this expected or have I done something silly?
-Steve
very rarely
on plan9 - I cannot remember the last time we had a big pull.
It also neatly sidesteps the issue that different
applications can need different versions of a single
shared library. This is a real problem on some OSs
(see 9fans passim).
-Steve
need to truncate the HPFS partition to give
more space for plan9 to use. I beleive there is some software
which will allow you to truncate a windows partitions however
I have never done this.
-Steve
I've been scouring the Interwebs and haven't been able to find much of
a solution.
Yesterday I decided to give P9 a try and burned the ISO file available
on Plan 9's installation page here:
http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/download/index.html
It was the direct link to the CD image so none
of other.
-Steve
How can I stop starting rc and go to the console? Booting from
cdrom is not possible at the moment.
alternatively, if you have a network perhaps you could PXE boot the
machine from another host and then mount and edit plan9.ini
-Steve
.
This works well for me as most of the tools I need on windows
are command line based, for the few gui ones I need I vnc onto a
machine.
cifs is in the contrib package steve/cifs the dos(1) dosd(1) and
listen(1) for windows are not reliably published (and not as well
documented), but I can make them
It will take a very long time, espicially if your IDE controller is not
known or it is and DMA is known to be problematic.
I suggest you resign yourself to leaving the machine on for many hours,
and then, when it stops rattling its disks, you shut it down (using the
fshalt command).
-Steve
i have a little program, aux/cpuid
perhaps this would be better in /dev/cons/cpuid ?
just my 2¢
-Steve
is
very powerful, but takes some getting used to.
Perhaps you need to give it a bit more time.
-Steve
the only time I ever wanted this kind of feature
is for grepping through sourcecode.
ron's modified grep is now installed on my boxes;
there is a precident (diff -r).
-Steve
(in the vein of popi) looks like a solution but I have never go further
than wishful thinking.
-Steve
1990s from their work on a reconfigurable FPGA based image
processing engine.
-Steve
I am told that the company I work for have decided to move from
CVS to SVN, so I have to follow.
Has anyone ported SVN to plan9 (I only need the client side), or
alternatively is anyone using linuxemu to run the Linux binary?
-Steve
as it was a bit of a pain copying the venti arenas from my old
server
(it need a 50 line script rather than a single command).
-Steve
or the author does not
line contrib. These are usually downloaded as a tar file and can be built using
mk(1)
(the plan9 equivilent of make) - much as packages are installed with slackware
(I beleive).
-Steve
a SUPERMICRO X7SLA-H to replace it on Erik's reccomendation and
it works very well.
There are some newer mini-itx cards from supermicro which also look
interesting but I have no experience of them:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM
Appologies for my bad memory.
-Steve
you have updated you local system you can the submit it to
sources using patch(1)
-Steve
rather than crop so you only get black
and white. Supply the picture as 48x48 resolution and you will
be colourful
-Steve
with
drawterm.
I would be very surprised if this is the case, I don't use drawterm much but
last time
I tried it raw/cooked worked fine.
All sorted now anyway
Good
-Steve
I can vouch for the Supermicro X7SLA-H card, with erik's
help it is working absolutely solidly, its my main server and
this email comes from said machine.

did this work out? I would like to update my installation

I added this to my $home/bin/rc/pull script, it doesn't pull the
contrib packages, but prints the commands to do so in case I want to do so.

and the subsequent noise

VNC can (has been) be a butt-saver' - but pales in comparison to remote
desktop
/ remote X for relative responsiveness and seamlessness.
My experience of serving a Windows desktop to a plan9 terminal
is that TightVNC with the DFMirage Mirror driver works really well.

I'm a tiny fish, this is the ocean. Nevertheless, I venture: there are
already Cell-based expansion cards out there for real-time

real-time.
Interesting, 1080p? you have a link?

@{builtin cd $1 tar cf /fd/1 .} | @{builtin cd $2 tar xTf /fd/0}
the /fd/1 and /fd/0 fererences ensure that dircp will work with ape's tar
which doesn't read/write stdin/stdout by default like plan9's does.

My latest motherboard even had one USB port inside the case

times I have had to change plan9.ini from somthing else
than the booted system (because I have broken the boot process)
I booted the plan9 live cdrom.
I would be happy if 9load and 9fat disappeared and it was
replaced with a plan9 bootstrap kernel and (say) an rc(1) script.
