[9fans] pull doesn't work due to unavailable sources; travelmate 291LCi specials

[9fans] pull doesn't work due to unavailable sources; travelmate 291LCi specials

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello,

I tried to install plan9 on one of my computers and wanted to update
it running 'pull'. However, it doesn't work, perhaps because the home
pages of plan9 at Bell labs don't work. I somehow have a feeling there
are problems with those pages every now and then. Is it so? Why?

May some mirror be used instead?
If yes, what and how do I have to modify so that 'pull' then works?

Also. My computer is Acer Travelmate 291LCi. It has a touchpad (2
buttons) and I want to use a usb mouse. After installation the
touchpad works, but connected external mouse does not. Why? What do I
have to do? There is a message saying something like
'/dev/usb0/1/ep0data does not exists'.
Last, the computer has a 1400x1050 screen, which is somehow not listed
in its Bios table, so that I had to run some program to help it under
linux (something like 855patch ;
http://www.chzsoft.com.ar/855patch.html ; it has a 810i graphics on
board). Is there a chance it would work in plan9? What do I have to
do?

Thanks
Ruda

there was a guy around here who worked up
that bios patch for plan 9.  (translated, oddly enough,
from the original oberon.)  i'll try to hunt it down.
i can't currently locate it.  but if it can't be found,
the linux version should be easy enough to translate.

 Yeah, I can't connect to sources at the moment. I get as far as
"post..." and then 9fs blocks.

Hello

As soon as the new mirror method mentioned by Geoff becomes the  
official way to sync mirrors i will update the 9grid.es mirror and i  
will provide the scripts to pull from 9grid.es again

Sorry, which new mirror method?

I probably missed that.
We keep a mirror of sources/plan9 and 9grid at sources.lsub.org.

hello

Geoff is working to get a replica/pull set up to mirror /n/sources.

9grid.es stopped mirrorning since this started, and i'm trying from  
time to time to use the replica/pull system to mirror sources.

sorry but i can't remember the message on which Geoff talked about this.

What was wrong with the old way of doing mirroring with lsr? It worked
quite nicely, and was way more reliable and infinitely faster than
replica.

Re: [9fans] pull doesn't work due to unavailable sources; travelmate 291LCi specials

[Francisco J Ballesteros]

it's not reliable.
I had to fix several things, but the main problem is that
it's not coherent wrt sources. You might end up with incosistent
files, depending on when lsr runs.

I'm using a variant of lsr, but I'm looking forward to a more
coherent way of doing it.

I am still missing something (and did not get a response on an earlier
attempt at asking a slightly different question), but... why doesn't sources
  1) allow read-only access to its backing venti to the Internet at large
  2) nightly run a full vac job against the nightly dump [1] as none [2] and
  3) publish the score so derived? [3]

This makes "venti/copy -f" an excellent mirroring mechanism; mirrors would
be only very slightly lagged from the official sources (see [1]), and it
would seem to have only very modest bandwidth requirements relative to full
tree traversal.

If this an acceptable mechanism (I don't see anything wrong with it, but
I've been wrong before), I'd be very happy if somebody seeded the system
with the dumps already taken.

[1] And/or snapshots.  Those would work just as well, be just as coherent,
    and be more frequent in case nightly crawls aren't good enough.
[2] Running as none means that only world-readable files get included in the
    published capabilities.  Presumably that's exactly the class that would
    be mirrored.
[3] A vac archive generated by merging each run's vac output, say, with the
    last run's root score published at the root of sources?

Thanks much.

Well, still no one can say a word?
I made several attempts to set up my mouse, but those were all futile...
And I need a mouse in this mouse-centric system, my touchpad has only 2 buttons.
Can it be so that both, a touchpad (behaves I guess as a ps2 device)
and a usb mouse work at the same time?

Secondly, is there any chance the wifi I have would work? What should
I read in order to know how to proceed?

Thanks

Just noticed this mail.

Did you try with usb/kb ?
Does it have problems handling your mouse?

In general, usbstart should do the thing for you.

Well, now I am booted to windows, being at home. When I reboot to
plan9 I have neither a mouse nor the internet connection. So I can
only reply from windows and any attempt and respond means a reboot. I
would appreciate any advice in the form: look there (on Linux usu some
logs, dmesg...) and see what's there.

For the start, I haven't changed my /bin/termrc, and there is a line
saying usbstart, for sure.
If that line worked, would it mean that both the touchpad and the
mouse would work?

Thanks

The mouse is a usb one for sure.

Re: [9fans] pull doesn't work due to unavailable sources; travelmate 291LCi specials

Try to see if you can list #U
If you can't that's the problem.
You also need kbin. Perhaps looking at /dev/drivers is easier to see
if you have both.

If you can you might run USB/kb by hand to see if that works.

In relation to this:

Is this normal?

Looking in the /dev/drivers file I again can see #U. I can't see
'kbin' or anything alike there. Nonetheless, I can see 'kbdin' and
'kbmap' files in the output of 'lc #U'.

Running 'usb/kb' says nothing and returns a prompt.
Mouse does not move.

you mention the touchpad - I guess this is a ps2 device rather than a usb one
(though I may be wrong). You should be able to start that using
mouse=ps2 in your plan9.ini.

There are two ac97 drivers written independently, I believe there are links

I think this is a centrino device - if so there is an unfinished driver
in russ's contrib dir on sources.

sorry this is not very much help, but its a start. If you are willing to
start working on merging the audio drivers or finishing the centrino one
I'am sure there will be people willing to advise and maybe help.

The one written by CMU students has been tested on a bunch
of Intel hardware and knows how to work around busted
motherboards which don't clock samples at the right rate
(apparently this was popular at some point).

The other one has better code quality, and will try to run
on more chips, but it's not clear how many of them it has
been tested on.

If somebody has time to do a merge, that would be great.
I still have handy one of the machines with busted clocking.

Ah, I might be able to get to this in the following weeks.
Let me know if you have any updates.
