Seems to work great. Really neat.
1. How can I change the screen resolution for Rio? It's still at 640x480
from the
install sequence.
2. I noticed some messages referring to utilities I don't have available.
Did I miss
part of the install?
% riostart
riostart: '/bin/riostart' file does not exist
% taskbar
taskbar: '/bin/taskbar' file does not exist
3. For some reason I can't write to temp files which is causing problems:
% sam
sam: can't create temp file: '/tmp/Z342.gibbsam' permission denied
% con -l /srv/fscons
prompt: uname sys +gibbs
uname: 'gibbs' already in group 'sys'
% ls -lrt / | grep tmp
d-r-xr-xr-x M 8 sys sys 0 Mar 1 09:53 /tmp
% cd /tmp
% touch x
touch: x: cannot create: 'x' permission denied
4. I manually created the directory structure at /usr/gibbs:
/lib
/bin
/bin/rc
/tmp
However no change mods or analogous. Also I created the
/usr/gibbs/lib/profile as follows
bind -a $home/bin/rc /bin
bind -a $home/bin/$cputype /bin
bind -c $home/tmp /tmp
upas/fs
switch($service) {
case terminal
plumber
prompt=('term% ' ' ')
exec rio -f $font
case cpu
bind /mnt/term/dev/cons /dev/cons
bind /mnt/term/dev/consctl /dev/consctl
bind -a /mnt/term/mnt/wsys /dev
prompt=('cpu% ' ' ')
news
case con
prompt=('cpu% ' ' ')
news
}
Although, I don't have a good idea what's in mind there. Therefore I
suspect
I missed some important steps.

most of your problems will disappear if you run '/sys/lib/newuser' the
first time you log in as your user. it will create /usr/$user and set
up a useful profile that starts rio (riostart is a script that exists
only for glenda). once you have this profile you'll have
/usr/$user/tmp bound to /tmp every time you log in, so editing files
will work.
to change the resolution you need to edit plan9.ini. run "9fat:" and
edit /n/9fat/plan9.ini. if you want a temporary /tmp run 'ramfs'
beforehand, which will bind itself there and create a ram-only
writeable directory.

A lot of what you're trying to do is covered in the plan 9 wiki.

it looks like you did everything /sys/lib/newuser
would have done except actually run the profile.
running the profile would do the right binds to
bind in your writable /tmp, and add your personal bins
(where riostart is/would go) to /bin.
i don't know of any program called taskbar.
