[9fans] fossil's snaptime doesn't work

[kiwane]

I want my fossil to automatically take snapshot at every 30
minute and do the dump at midnight. My fossil configuration
is:

   term% fossil/conf /dev/sdC0/fossil
   fsys main config /dev/sdC0/fossil
   fsys main open -c 750
   fsys main snaptime -a 0000 -s 30 -t 1440
   term%

The problem is that it doesn't take either snap nor dump.
Why does fossil ignore the snaptime command? How do
I find out what is going on?

We use snaptime with no problems.  
Try connecting to the console and running

    fsys main
    snaptime

to see what fossil thinks you've told it to do.
There may also be errors waiting for you on
the console.

It looks like fossil knows what it should do.

   term% con /srv/fscons
   prompt: fsys main
   main: snaptime
       snaptime -a 0000 -s 30 -t 1440
   main:

I see no errors on the console.

[9fans] drawterm behavior..

[Ishwar Rattan]

System is Mandrake-9.1 Linux.

I compiled drawterm (usig mk form plan9-ports) and see a strange
behavior:

cpu% mk


screen does not display any text after this. Same thing happens to
mouse buttons-2 and 3 behavior (not text in boxes).

I also tried precompiled binary form ucalgary's page and see the
same behavior.

Is there something missing from my Linux setup??

david tolpin has a patch for this on his web page (sorry, no link --
check the archives).  it's not included in the binaries at UCalgary
because nobody has asked for it (and it's a performance hit).  i use
drawterm on radeon and nvidia hw accelerated X's and never observe
this problem. it did happen on S3 though.

starting acme in a new window may bring back your drawterm to 
life.
