Re: [9fans] Plumb menu option not working

Are you selecting the text first? Rio is very different from acme in the way it treats mouse clicks. When you want to plumb something, you need to select it, or at least left click on the respective word, before using the middle click menu. Similar thing with pasting: The text doesn't get inserted

[9fans] can't install 9front kernels

I recently updated my 9front and recompiled everything, including kernels and 9bootfat. After installing the new 9bootfat and kernels to /n/9fat, the system fails to boot. The computer (Thinkpad X220) just reboots after 9bootfat. If I replace the new 9pcf with the old version (the one that came

Hi 9fans I'm writing a little GUI for file system navigation … it's all but finished, but clicking on directories works, so if somebody would like to try, I'd be delighted! If you have any comments, on the program, on the code, etc. let me know. If you have hg, just hg clone https://bitbucket.or

Re: [9fans] Plumbing - Files with spaces

You can change your lib/plumbing file. If you add a space to the regular expressions in the 'matches' rules it should work. Maybe you will need to have two rules, one for making simple right clicking without selection work in acme (no spaces in the regexp) and the other (with spaces) to be able to

Re: [9fans] lpdaemon

I think your code is wrong. If the NUL byte is present, it doesn't do anything, however if it is not there, strlen will read more than it should, and possibly try to read some invalid address. In case info.host is a fixe size array, a simple info.host[sizeof info.host - 1] = 0; would do. Am 05.06.

Great work! Maybe the mkfile could be improved a bit; I had to copy the images manually. And since you're asking for comments on your C style ... imho, most of it looks really good; maybe you could try to avoid deep nesting of control structures. if(cond1) { if(cond2) { .

imho, the brilliant thing about fontsrv is that you don't have to know which fonts you are "interested in", at which sizes etc. You can't get that kind of flexibility if you statically convert. It's not just about having smooth fonts in Plan 9; it's about being able to deal with true type fonts in
