The 'picker' application doesn't run - I just get stuck on the 'Google' logo screen. If I 'adb shell' into the phone and then start the inferno service manually it runs. I'm thinking there might be some incompatibility with the init.rc script that the inferno install puts on the device vs the one that's already on there. Is there a 'diff' of the changes that init.rc script made against the original init.rc it was based on? The one on my device is quite different. I've tried installing over a stock 4.0.3 android ROM, CyanogenMod 7 and even Mozilla's B2G. For anyone who has it working, what version of Android did you start with? Should I be using a Gingerbread based Android? When I start emu-g and wm/wm manually it runs, and a mouse cursor moves around when I touch the screen. No button presses work and the capacitive 'hardware' buttons on the bottom of the phone don't work.

My question is pretty basic, so I had hesitated to ask it for a long time, figuring there was something I was not getting out of the docs and that a little more reading could save me making a fool of myself on a mailing list. I'd devoted a few days to this though (read a huge chunk of the mailing list archives, man pages, /dis/svc, and some of /appl/grid), and still haven't made much progress, so I thought I'd cheat and ask the mailing list. I'd like to be able to share a filesystem across the small cluster of machines in my house, use CPU servers to distribute processing, things that seem like the basics more or less. I've gotten as far as doing this stuff to set up an auth server: auth/createsignerkey `{cat /dev/sysname} svc/auth auth/changelogin `{cat /dev/user} getauthinfo default After which, presumably, I could just do svc/auth (Although on occasion, changelogin will tell me that I don't have permissions to change my own credentials, so I'm not confident that I have even that much </pre> Pete Elmore 2012-04-04T21:04:04 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.inferno.general/5460 <pre> Anyone has a small Limbo program/application that shows how to achieve the private namsepace for a thread.

I have it running on a hosted Linux machine. My question is how can I in inferno, ie running emu, list what devices is available for me to mount. For example, if I connect up a SD disk via usb. On the hosted OS say I can see the device as /dev/sdd. In inferno, how can see this? Or is this possible.

I have the latest official version of both OS, Inferno and Plan 9.

The line reads "extern int isnan(double);", and it turns out that isnan is a macro on Linux [1] defined in math.h, and I worked around that by adding "#undef isnan" above that line. I considered adding that line to Linux/*/include/lib9.h, below the '#include "math.h"' line, but that's more tedious. I suppose this issue is common to all Linux hosts, so you may to fix this. The mk log was (cc links to clang on my box. clang wasn't able to compile *with* this bug fixed, but that's another issue.): (cd libmath; mk install) /home/xiaq/src/inferno/Linux/386/lib/libmath.a doesn't exist: assuming it will be an archive cc -c -m32 -g -O -Wuninitialized -Wunused -Wreturn-type -Wimplicit -I/home/xiaq/src/inferno/Linux/386/include -I/home/xiaq/src/inferno/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DLINUX_386 blas.c In file included from blas.c:2: /home/xiaq/src/inferno/include/mathi.h:59:12: error: expected identifie</pre> Cheer Xiao 2012-01-02T11:33:07 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.inferno.general/5412 <pre>Hi all, I was unable to build inferno for SYSHOST=Linux and OBJTYPE=spim. Compiler complained about duplicate definition of getup(). Apparently this was caused by the latest move of adopting pthread, and I've made a quick fix to Linux/mips/include/emu.h, as attached. Very likely there are other targets affected, but I didn't bother to fix them all. </pre> Cheer Xiao 2011-12-31T04:20:37 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.inferno.general/5410 <pre>Hi all, I am trying to test the native Inferno on my old PC (x86 architecture). I was able to install the Inferno successfuly. The text mode works fine, commands are executed, the network is able to work. However I would like to use wm/wm... I tried all the graphic cards I have, including s3 family, ATI, NVidia. I checked in the source code the drivers should support such cards according the VendorId/DeviceId pair. I am using the following sequence to setup the graphic driver: ; echo type &lt;drivername&gt; &gt;/dev/vgactl ; echo drawinit &gt;/dev/vgactl Real example: ; echo type mach64xx &gt;/dev/vgactl ; echo drawinit &gt;/dev/vgactl After the last command the shell is frozen forever... :( Please, can you help me to understand how to setup the graphic driver?

By examining /usr/include/sched.h and /usr/include/bits/sched.h, I spotted #ifdef __USE_GNU /* Cloning flags. */ # define CSIGNAL 0x000000ff /* Signal mask to be sent at exit. */ # define CLONE_VM 0x00000100 /* Set if VM shared between processes. */ [snip] So it is pretty obvious that only with __USE_GNU will clone() and its friends be included. __USE_GNU turns out to be some internal macro, and should be correctly enabled by defining _GNU_SOURCE. After downloading latest stable glibc and Linux kernel source, I was able to trace the source of /usr/include/bits/sched.h on my Archlinux system (which always packages the latest stable software) in the glibc-2.14 source tree, to be glibc/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/sched.h. I don't know when the requirement for _GNU_SOURCE was introduced, but I suppose it would be a good </pre> Cheer Xiao 2011-12-14T12:35:50 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.os.inferno.general/5386 <pre>Is the notion of an ARM based reference platform for Inferno still alive at Vita Nuova? I remember that the Intrynsic CerfCube was endorsed for a while however Intrynsic has mostly gotten out of the hardware business, plus their boards were a little too expensive for hobbyists. Cambridge U. seems to be backing the Raspberry Pi, a cheap ARM board intended for education. http://www.raspberrypi.org/ http://www.reghardware.com/2011/11/28/raspberry_pi/ They are talking about a price of around £22 / $25.00(model A) - $35.00(model B) and it is supposed to be available by the end of 2011.

I want to run Inferno as a hosted OS on it. I have Ubuntu on my laptop where I am building it. So I followed below steps - 1. modify mkconfig as - SYSHOST=Linux - SYSTARG=$SYSHOST - OBJTYPE=arm 2. set my $PATH variable as PATH=$HOME/inferno/Linux/arm/bin:$PATH 3. ./makemk.sh - All goes well I get a message - 'mk binary built successfully!' 4. mk install - it goes well to a certain point and then shows an error as - *(cd limbo; mk install) iyacc -d limbo.y /home/inferno/Linux/arm/bin/iyacc: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") mk: iyacc -d limbo.y : exit status=exit(2) mk: for j in ... : exit status=exit(1) * Where am I going wrong?
