* [9fans] Problems with xen+plan9 (gui and keyboard) @ 2007-05-07 0:57 Eric Boston 2007-05-07 1:04 ` erik quanstrom 2007-05-07 8:25 ` Richard Miller 0 siblings, 2 replies; 4+ messages in thread From: Eric Boston @ 2007-05-07 0:57 UTC (permalink / raw) To: 9fans I am trying to get the graphical user interface part of Plan9 working, but I am having some trouble with it. I have xen installed on my linux kernel but I am having problems running rio, sam and acme. It boots fine into Plan9 console but then when I try to run the applications above I get an error about /dev/draw. Another issue I am encountering is the keyboard input. I am having trouble getting my backspace working; every time I press backspace it outputs some "raw" data instead of the backspace. So every time that I make a mistake in the typing I am forced to retype the command from start. I apologize if I sound too novice, but I would really like to get it working as I am interested in Plan9 approaches as an operating system. Thank you. -eric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Thank you for your quick reply. When I press ctrl+h the caret goes back one space but the character is not deleted. -eric ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Plan 9 on xen doesn't have a graphics device, because xen reserves the screen for the controlling "dom0" operating system. To run Plan 9 gui applications, you use the Plan 9 vm as a server, and connect to it from the linux desktop using drawterm or vnc. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
