Re: [9fans] writing to /dev/$winid/addr
Howdy, I'm working on a script where I want to get hold of a particular string and use it as a new name of a particular window. What I've tried so far, although not successfully, is writing to /dev/$winid/addr with the intention of then being able to read the string found from the /dev/$winid/data or /dev/$winid/xdata. acme(4) says, addrmay be written with any textual address (line number, regular expression, etc.), in the format understood by button 3 but without the initial colon, including com- pound addresses, to set the address for text accessed through the data file. Here's an example of what I tried. echo '/[A-Z]+\![a-z0-9]+\![0-9a-z]+' >/dev/$winid/addr Which results in an 'address out of bounds' message being generated. How does one write to 'addr'? Clearly, the shortcoming is on my part. I'm just not sure what it is that's missing. Thanks.
Re: [9fans] writing to /dev/$winid/addr
Turns out, the reason why writing '/[A-Z]+\![a-z0-9]+\![0-9a-z]+' to
/dev/$winid/addr would fail for me is because sending a string
represented by the regular expression in question to /dev/$winid/body
was immediately followed by writing the regexp to addr. Putting a
while loop on the 'echo regexp >addr' followed by sleep, seems to have
been the answer. The script sets the prompt and the name of the window
running win when logged onto a UNIX machine.
Here's the script for those interested.
#!/bin/rc
{
echo 'echo $SYSNAME!`uname -n`!$USER'
echo 'PS1='':; '' PS2='' '''
} >/dev/$winid/body
while(! echo -n '/[A-Z]+\![a-z0-9]+\![0-9a-z]+' >/dev/$winid/addr >[2]/dev/null)
sleep 0.2
sel=`{cat /dev/$winid/xdata}
echo name $sel >/dev/$winid/ctl

If it's not too much trouble, would you mind demonstrating what valid rc

That's OK. It's actually ksh on AIX.

I'm sorry I confused you. In my second email I did mention that the

Re: [9fans] Acme 2-1 chord arguments
I just tried typing 'git' into my '/project/root/dir/+Errors' with 'log' selected in a different Acme window. Executing chord 2-1 on 'git' did work for me. The 'log' argument has to be selected in its entirety, but not the trailing new line, which would generate an 'invalid key error' message, if passed to 'git'. Alternatively, you may just click with button 1 on the argument being passed, and then do the 2-1 chord on 'git'. This worked for me as well. Hope this helps. Do you get any output when you try doing the 2-1 mouse chord on git? On Thu, Jul 16, 2015 at 8:15 PM, Brian Zwahr wrote: > I guess I should clarify that I’m not using win.

You could initialise $w to hold a list of files output by ls like so:

[9fans] Static ip configuration for a standalone cpu server in qemu on Linux
I've installed Plan 9 in qemu on Linux as instructed here: https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Installing_Plan_9_on_Qemu/index.html Now I'm in the process of converting it into a standalone cpu server. I'm following the instructions given here: https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Configuring_a_Standalone_CPU_Server/index.html I would like to configure a static IP address for the cpu server, so I can drawterm into it from other machines on my home network. My knowledge of networking is limited. I understand that I need to put this: ip/ipconfig -g ether /net/ether0 into my /cfg/$sysname/cpurc. What I don't understand, and am asking for assistance with, is where those three ip addresses in the example above have to come from. Do I add them to the ethernet interface on the host system, or is there a way to do this from within the Plan 9 system? Thanks. Alexander Kapshuk.

Re: [9fans] Static ip configuration for a standalone cpu server in qemu on Linux
I am trying to follow the instructions given here: http://fqa.9front.org/fqa3.html#3.3.1.4.4 3.3.1.4.4 - Linux TAP Here's what I've done so far: (1). Set up a tap0 device as user root: ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user sasha ip address add 10.0.0.1/24 dev tap0 ip addr show dev tap0 4: tap0: mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether c6:1c:63:d9:91:1d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.0.0.1/24 scope global tap0 valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever (2). Started qemu with Bell Labs system image as a regular user like so: qemu-system-x86_64 \ -boot order=d \ -drive file=$HOME/Plan9.raw.img,format=raw \ -netdev tap,id=eth,ifname=tap0,script=no,downscript=no \ -device e1000,netdev=eth,mac=C6:1C:63:D9:91:1D (3). Put these details into /lib/ndb/local: sys=gnot ether=c61c63d9911d ip=10.0.0.2 ipmask=255.255.255.0 ipgw=10.0.0.1 dns=10.0.0.1 dom=gnot.plan9 (4). And these into /cfg/gnot/termrc ip/ipconfig -g 10.0.0.1 ether /net/ether0 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 (5). And rebooted the system. Current state of things: (1). MAC address is recognised: cat /net/ether0/addr c61c63d9911d (2). Still no networking. ping'ing 10.0.0.2 from my Linux host results in all packets being dropped. ip/ping 10.0.0.1 from qemu plan9 sees all packates dropped also. I understand that it is something I am not doing right because of my lack of networking knowledge. In all likelyhood, the answer was given by Skip in his reply to my original email. The 9front wiki article probably too has all the information needed to setup networking in qemu. I am probably just not seeing it. A further tip(s) would be much appreciated. This list's patience for my ignorance is much appreciated. On Sat, Jul 7, 2018 at 5:33 PM Alexander Kapshuk wrote: > > Thanks.

Re: [9fans] Static ip configuration for a standalone cpu server in qemu on Linux
I thought that the mac address in the qemu command had to be the same as the link/ether address of the tap device. Should I make one up and use that in the qemu command? Thanks.

[9fans] Ssh configuration from within drawterm
I would like to set up ssh on plan9 so I can dial out to the Linux systems on my LAN. What I've done so far is: (1). I've generated rsa and dsa keys and put them in my secstore. auth/rsagen auth/dsagen (2). I've converted both rsa and dsa keys to ssh format and put those in my $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys file on Linux. grep rsa /mnt/factotum/ctl | rsa2ssh2 auth/dsagen -t 'service=ssh' >key auth/dsa2ssh key (3). I've put a key for proto=pass in my sectore as well: Ssh connection fails with these records found in /sys/log/ssh: plan9 Nov 12 21:05:46 netssh: server id 9 new connection on fd 3 plan9 Nov 12 21:05:46 netssh: client id 9 connect handshake failed: tcp conn 26 plan9 Nov 12 21:06:41 netssh: no proto=dsa key in factotum The line about netssh not finding proto=dsa key in factotum is printed even though I did put it in factotum as it was output by auth/dsagen verbatum. Any tips on how to proceed with this would be much appreciated.

(1). The first key needed is the host key for server operation. In the case of the keys being stored in factotum(4), these keys will be the first ones listed with proto=rsa and proto=dss. That's what I already have in my factotum shown above. (2). The next set of keys are the public host keys used by clients to verify the identities of servers. As with the original Plan 9 SSH implementation, there is a system-wide list of these in /sys/lib/ssh/keyring and each user may have a list in $home/lib/keyring. If a public key for a remote server is listed and matches the one offered by the server, the connection proceeds. If a public key for a remote server is listed but does not match the one offered by the server, or if no public key is listed for a remote server, ssh (see ssh2(1)) presents the key to the user and asks whether to reject the key, accept the key only for that session, or accept the key permanently. The last option causes the key to be written to the user's keyring. In the case of a mismatching key, the accept option can either be to add to or replace the old key. I have neither of the keyring files, nor do I get prompted to accept any keys. What am I missing? Thanks.

[9fans] Plan 9 won't boot on Xen 8.0
I had Plan 9 running on Xen 7.5. After upgrading to Xen 8.0 Plan 9 won't boot any more. I get a 'No bootable device' message displayed. The system was previously setup by someone else. If I can, I would like to try and make it run on Xen 8.0. Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your response, and apologies for the delay in replying. I was thinking if it would also be possible to migrate the current Plan 9 setup that is used with Xen to Qemu. Thanks.

[9fans] Stdout and stderr of remote cmd not returned in acme window
When running a command remotely via ssh2 in acme/win, I get both stdout and stderr: % ssh2 host date Thu Dec 12 10:21:27 EET 2019 % ssh2 host nodate ksh: nodate: not found. However, when running those same commands in an acme window, stdout/stderr are not returned: Running a command locally in an acme window works fine though. What could be causing this?

In sysopen, there is a call to namec:
/sys/src/9/port/sysfile.c:272
c = namec((char*)arg[0], Aopen, arg[1], 0);
Namec would return an error when called to open a directory with
execute permissions:
/sys/src/9/port/chan.c:1453,1454
if(amode == Aopen && (omode&3) == OEXEC && (c->qid.type&QTDIR))
error("cannot exec directory");
But I'm not sure if this is where the problem actually is, as I haven't seen
the 'cannot exec directory' message when running 'test -x dir' in

Re: [9fans] problem with installing plan9 from USB disk image
Have you tried downloading the archive that contains the CD iso image, https://9p.io/plan9/download/plan9.iso.bz2, and burning that onto a CD or USB drive? If your hardware is supported, https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/Supported_PC_hardware/index.html, you would be able to boot the system off the CD/USB drive. Alternatively, you could use the iso image to set up a Plan 9 system in a virtual environment as described here, https://9p.io/wiki/plan9/virtual_machines/index.html.

If the expression is omitted, the command is run in every file. Given these target files: grep . file[12] file1:line1 file2:line2 And a file that contains some sam commands: cat cmd X ,p q The following output is printed: sam -d file[12] https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T10b1d559ae7d981e-Mbddcbb3fb3e41229d32d0ca7 Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription

Re: [9fans] assembly syntax in plan 9
i have a question about putting things on the stack for x86 arch under plan 9... under unix/linux, when defining a function, i would: (1). push the address the base pointer is pointing to prior to this function being called, onto the stack; e.g. pushl %ebp (2). then i would have the base pointer point to the current stack pointer; e.g. movl %esp, %ebp (3). then i would allocate space on the stack for local variables, if any; e.g. subl $n, %esp; (4). then follows the function body; to return from the function i would: (1). restore the stack pointer; e.g. movl %ebp, %esp; (2). restore the base pointer, e.g. popl %ebp; (3). then return to the calling function; i searched the 9fans archives for posts on assembly programming under plan 9; found some bits and pieces; e.g. in one of the posts it was mentioned that BP is a general purpose register, not the base pointer; and that FP is what ebp is under unix/linux; in the paper for the plan 9 assembler, it says that there are three registers available to manipulate the stack, FP, SP, and TOS; would the following comparison stand true then? plan9unix/linux --- - FPEBP SP-4(%EBP)...-n(%EBP) /* local variables */ TOS ESP thanks; sasha kapshuk

Re: [9fans] using memory stick

The Plan 9 installation I have is from November 2009. /dev/usb shows a ctl file and three directories, ep1.0, ep2.0, and ep3.0. The T23 has only two usb interfaces on the back. Robert you may want to run usbfat: the output will be the path to your memory stick, e.g. /n/dev_name
