I got Plan B and omero working under QEMU by unpacking Plan B on top of the Plan 9 image from oszoo.org The steps I was missing were provided by FJB in the attached email. --Apple-Mail-7--585274209 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; x-unix-mode=0644; x-mac-hide-extension=yes; name=Plan B install Email.txt Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Plan B install Email.txt" From: "Fco. J. Ballesteros" Date: 26 July 2006 2:41:24 AM CDT To: maceo@imsa.edu Cc: lsub@lsub.org Subject: Plan B install Hi, I think there are several problems here. First, it seems you did not have permissions disabled in your Plan 9 fs while extracting the planb4e.tgz. Therefore, it seems that you will miss some files. If you are using fossil, try with srv -PW instfs in the fossil console and then mount -c /srv/instfs /n/inst to get at /n/inst your file tree with permission checks disabled. This should allow you to extract it all without problems. Second, it seems that the problem with omero is that it is missing some fonts and a mount point. You need to start mntgen at /devs , like you are probably doing at /n. IIRC, I changed omero to load std Plan 9 fonts if it couldn't find Vera, however, maybe your tar does not include this change. Did you copy it from Plan9's sources? I've just checked and the source code for Omero in /n/sources/contrib/nemo/sys/src/cmd/omero/ includes this change. If yours does not, you could copy an updated one from there, or, alternatively, we could generate a new binary for you. hth : From: maceo@imsa.edu : Date: Tue, 25 Jul 2006 21:46:56 -0500 : To: lsub@lsub.org : Reply-To: lsub : Subject: [lsub] PlanB Installation Help? : =20 : Hi LSUB, : =20 : I'm curious about trying omero (see below), but so far I have not =20 : been able to make it run without crashing.
