[04:00:46]<quintile>cinap - you about?
[04:22:12]<quintile>guess not then.
[05:17:29]<cinap_lenrek>[10:00] (#plan9) «quintile» ⇒ cinap - you about?
[05:17:34]<cinap_lenrek>yes...
[05:17:38]<cinap_lenrek>:)
[05:17:54]<cinap_lenrek>what is it?
[05:18:38]<quintile>Hi. Good catach on aquarela. I did find the same thing but didn't get to the bottom of why the call into factotum was failing (been moving house).
[05:18:48]<robot12>cinap_lenrek: !!! Hi
[05:18:52]<quintile>You use aquarela?
[05:19:23]<cinap_lenrek>yes... i used it for some time...
[05:19:49]<cinap_lenrek>its the best option to share filesystems with other os right now i think
[05:20:01]<cinap_lenrek>nfs is out of question as authentification is broken by design
[05:20:07]<robot12>cinap_lenrek: i'm trying to update lunix piece on linuxemu, but without luck ...
[05:20:14]<quintile>Is it reliable for you - do some windows tools want features aquarela doesn't support (that you know of)?
[05:20:38]<quintile>I am willing to add features as they are needed (time permitting).
[05:20:39]<cinap_lenrek>here are some problems...
[05:21:00]<cinap_lenrek>i just use it to read files... and copy files to it
[05:21:01]<robot12>sarge is too old
[05:21:28]<cinap_lenrek>it somehow corrupts when you download with opera directly in the aquarela share
[05:21:46]<cinap_lenrek>and acrobat reader cant read pdf directly...
[05:22:06]<cinap_lenrek>let me test it again
[05:22:10]<cinap_lenrek>maybe it works now...
[05:22:33]<quintile>If you are keen enough to try it with logging enabled (and even with wireshark running too if possible) then I will add the code.
[05:23:11]<cinap_lenrek>are you the author of aquarela?
[05:23:38]<cinap_lenrek>ah... acrobat has still problems
[05:24:00]<cinap_lenrek>it sometimes renders the first page... but when browsing it gives some error message
[05:24:26]<cinap_lenrek>robot12: what exactly are you trying todo?
[05:25:08]<robot12>i'm thinking to update lunix binaries
[05:25:43]<robot12>to run FF 3.6 :)
[05:28:13]<cinap_lenrek>you can become a lab rat and test the segdescpatch and the newest linuxemu
[05:28:49]<cinap_lenrek>this could work with newer distros as it implements futex and set_thread_area wich are required for nptl
[05:29:00]<cinap_lenrek>at least it works with the nptl from my sarge...
[05:30:31]<robot12>where i can get it ?
[05:30:43]<cinap_lenrek>robot12: /n/sources/contrib/cinap_lenrek/segdescpatch
[05:30:49]<cinap_lenrek>its not a real patch...
[05:31:03]*robot12!~robot12@robot12.kgts.ru feels like a labs Rat ;)
[05:31:51]<cinap_lenrek>heres a segdescpatch.tar too
[05:32:36]<cinap_lenrek>what you do is copy all files from 9 over /sys/src/9... you could just use bind i guess
[05:33:56]<robot12>O'k
[05:34:24]<cinap_lenrek>then i guess you get yourself another linux root filesystem
[05:35:00]<cinap_lenrek>and comment out the line in linuxemu.rc that binds /dev/null over /lib/tls... but i think newer linux doesnt even have a special tls directory anymore
[05:35:40]<cinap_lenrek>sarge kept both linuxthreads and nptl libcs arround
[05:36:24]<cinap_lenrek>to bring the new root filesystem to plan9, you can gnutar it on linux... and use the static gnutar in the bootstrap directory of linuxemu to unpack it (with linuxemu) on plan9
[05:36:34]<cinap_lenrek>this creates all the special fake-symlink files
[05:38:57]*robot12!~robot12@robot12.kgts.ru goes to download ... and swap hardrdives
[05:39:41]<linschn>Hello !
[05:39:43]<linschn>I have a question regarding plan9port : I am using import to, well, import a service from one host to another. Everything seems to work fine, but in my namespace directory, only plumb appears. I looked through the source code of import and found this :
[05:39:44]<linschn>/* post a local service */
[05:39:46]<linschn>int
[05:39:47]<linschn>post(char *srv)
[05:39:49]<linschn>{
[05:39:50]<linschn> int p[2];
[05:39:52]<linschn> if(pipe(p) < 0)
[05:39:53]<linschn> fatal("can't create pipe: %r");
[05:39:55]<linschn> /* 0 will be server end, 1 will be client end */
[05:39:57]<linschn> if(post9pservice(p[1], "plumb", nil) < 0)
[05:39:58]<linschn> fatal("post9pservice plumb: %r");
[05:40:00]<linschn> close(p[1]);
[05:40:01]<linschn> return p[0];
[05:40:03]<linschn>}
[05:40:04]<linschn>My (maybe stupid) question is : should the 11th line be changed with :
[05:40:06]<linschn> if(post9pservice(p[1], srv, nil) < 0)
[05:40:07]<linschn>so that in the namespace directory the service appears with the name the user provided with the -s option instead of "plumb"?
