Conversation with #inferno at Fri Mar 11 19:02:18 2011 on powerman-asdf@irc.freenode.net (irc) (19:23:14) Fish-: I wonder why they cite NAT (19:23:22) Fish-: I already did a NAT (19:24:19) Fish-: well, not in user space (19:24:33) Fish-: in user space, it would be more a proxy than a nat (19:27:59) Fish-: however, I love the amd64 idea (19:34:22) anth_r: Fish-: what's the deal with your NAT? i'm not sure i've heard about it. (19:34:28) anth_r: p9 or inf? (19:53:14) KillerX [~anant@2620:101:8003:200:21b:63ff:fea5:86ee] entered the room. (20:34:14) Fish [~Fish@9fans.fr] entered the room. (20:40:30) GriffenJBS: on Nt, running emu, once wm/wm is started why can't one return to the emu prompt? (20:41:45) GriffenJBS: I'm assuming emu is a shell, so what makes wm/wm exec instead of fork? (21:14:39) Fish: I emailed erik about nat (21:38:13) anth_r: GriffenJBS: if you want it back, just background it when you launch (&). (21:42:55) GriffenJBS: I was looking to kill wm, at the shell change something, and relaunch (21:43:15) GriffenJBS: it's not a big deal, I just have to relaunch emu instead (22:07:35) GriffenJBS: that still doesn't work, wm/wm& then close the GUI and sh/emu dump you back to the host OS prompt (22:15:01) anth_r: huh. that doesn't seem right. (22:45:58) Fish left the room (quit: Quit: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish). (22:46:15) Fish [~Fish@9fans.fr] entered the room. (23:22:44) mjl-: having a display/window in windows is probably too much integrated into emu (23:23:19) KillerX left the room (quit: Quit: KillerX). (23:39:45) KillerX [~anant@nat/mozilla/x-idetjdwvdwxlrdij] entered the room. (00:39:47) Fish left the room (quit: Quit: So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish). (00:46:15) sl is now known as stanleylieber (00:46:23) stanleylieber is now known as sl (00:56:52) anth_r: any last-minute ideas? the google guys are going to start looking shortly after the deadline, and then all weekend. (02:05:17) mjl-: vesa for inferno! (02:05:33) mjl-: perhaps based on cinaps work (02:07:06) anth_r: don't we have vesa for inferno? we used to. (02:07:14) anth_r: inferno had it way before plan9. (02:17:53) sl: i thought i had read the plan 9 vesa originally came from the inferno vesa. (02:18:00) sl: <- no idea what he is talking about (02:18:16) anth_r: it's likely. (02:22:24) mjl-: oh, that would be something :) (02:22:48) mjl-: but true, i think vsrinivas booted a 2nd edition kernel (something old at least), and it had vesa (02:23:24) mjl-: i really need to get video on an 386. on my x40 to be precise (02:23:40) mjl-: anyway, vesa for gsoc may be a bit much (02:23:59) mjl-: many projects on the current gsoc idea list seem hard for a student to me (02:28:10) mjl-: something that could be interesting: (02:28:48) mjl-: compile inferno with differnet compilers (eg with llvm, and the clang static analyzer) (02:28:59) mjl-: and fix the errors/warnings (02:29:11) mjl-: and test if it all works (02:29:38) anth_r: mjl-: i agree some of the projects are overly ambitious for a summer. (02:30:01) anth_r: vesa might not be too bad if we could confirm the old stuff's available without license issues. (03:26:50) KillerX left the room (quit: Quit: KillerX).
