Re: [9fans] Chords, ^, _, ^B and scroll with mouse wheel in p9p sam

2016-05-28 Thread Mark Lee Smith
What would you think about moving the named pipe from samterm into sam? It doesn't make much sense if you think of the named pipe as an alternative to the plumber. If you're using it for scripting a long-running sam process then maybe it's useful? It should also allow samterm to connect (or reconne

2016-05-28 Thread Dave MacFarlane
Either I'm going insane, the default Plan 9 /dev/draw in-memory implementation doesn't implement draw(3), or possibly both. When I do the following, it works as expected under both drawterm and a locally mounted instance: 1. Allocate a screen with an 'A' message 2. Allocate an image on the screen

a quick and easy way to get a local Plan 9 terminal is to use 9Pi (Plan 9 on Raspberry Pi). with Go 1.6 and later you can cross compile for plan9/arm. On Sat, May 28, 2016 at 10:24 AM Dave MacFarlane wrote: > Either I'm going insane, the default Plan 9 /dev/draw in-memory > implementation > doe

That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't have a monitor with HDMI within network-cable and power-cable reach to hook it up to, and the last time I hooked it up to my TV my toddler tore the usb/power cable of the Pi in two, so I can only try debugging it when he's not around.. (And Go 1.6 or later fo

worth remembering that hdmi and DVI are equivalent in terms of what is needed for a computer monitor. hence hdmi to DVI adopters are very cheap. -Steve > On 28 May 2016, at 18:49, Dave MacFarlane wrote: > > That's exactly what I'm doing. I don't have a monitor with HDMI within > network-cabl

I use the Pi 2 version daily at work with an hdmi monitor. there seem to be a couple of lurking bugs in the sub driver which generate spurious grumbles and seem to prevent sub serial adapters from working, which is a minor annoyance. Other than that it works like a charm. audio out is still broke

Thanks for the answer, Steve. Do you suppose Pi 3 may have fixed the 'sub driver' bugs? What's a 'sub driver'? not 'usb driver', or is it? The audio out is broken, but it's your fault? How is that? On 2016-05-29 12:50, Steve Simon wrote: I use the Pi 2 version daily at work with an hdmi moni
