Hi! Sorry for the confusion! It's easier for me to compile a kernel in linux than understand the basics of Plan 9. So, yes you're right, Plan 9 is different. But I won't give up so easy so thanks for your patience with a 15+ years linux user trying to grasp something completely different. Thanks S

FYI I'm Steve😄 I think some misunderstanding lib/riostart refers to a file in the lib directory in your home dir, as Rio is started in your home did. /lib/riostart is a different file. when rc(1) searches for command it does not strip the leading path like sh(1) does, so you can run commands lik

Hi again Peter! Thanks for your patience. I did "chmod +x /path to/riostart" but I still get the error message that follows: lib/script '/bin/lib' file does not exist . Since the script is in /lib I don't get the meaning of < '/bin/lib' file does not exist>. Well /bin/lib doesn't exist but /lib/sc

[9fans] How the Plan9 developers solve problems that are not resolved by Assembly?

2014-10-20 Thread françai s
I think that the only case where you have to resort to writing binary code manually is when the assembler cannot output the desired code for some reason. If I recall correctly, there is only one such case in the HelenOS sources: http://trac.helenos.org/browser/mainline/kernel/arch/mips32/include/d

Under plan9 the user who boots a machine has rights to its filesystem, so unless you are accessing a remote plan9 file server which is running an auth server I doubt your problems are to do with administration rights. Somtimes plan9 will produce slightly misleading error messages, permission denie

One more thing, for the line: exec rio -f $font -i lib/script make sure $font is correctly set or the exec of rio will fail. You can use that variable to set a different default font for rio if you like. Since you can run rio in a regular window, test the command out that way before you put it
