Hi hackers.

At the moment we received 0 ideas to put in our GSOC ideas page [1].
Google just notified us that GNU will be rejected from this year's GSOC
if we dont put ideas in the next 12 hours.

No project is interested in participating in GSoC this year??

Re: [IMPORTANT] GSOC 2014 ideas


In the last years,
, etc.,
we'd just place a pointer to our project_ideas page onto the GNU ideas
page, so I suggest to do that again.  Separating out just a few project
ideas does not make too much sense to me -- what may make sense is to add
a high-level overview of the projects to the GNU page, like a list of
keywords: »hurd, kernel, distributed, file system, language bindings«,
etc.

Is your intention to participate under GNUs umbrella or did you apply as
a mentoring organization?

We haven't applied as a mentoring organization, we intend to participate
under GNU's umbrella.

Just added the link to your ideas page to

Under the GNU umbrella, so for us, for now, please just copy the
paragraph from the ideas-2013 page.

Done.

We are.  I personnally haven't seen a request for pushing GSOC
ideas.

See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/summer-of-code/2014-02/msg6.html

We always have a lot of ideas for GNU/Hurd, on

http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/community/gsoc/project_ideas.html

so it means we should push at least some of them, or all of them? (I
would be afraid that students only see the few pushed to the
ideas-2014.html, while we have a lot of them on our project_ideas.html
page).

We added a link to your ideas pages, like in previous years.

Hi,


 I am a new subscriber of this list.

 Also i am new to the Hurd (i installed my first Hurd a few days ago). 
 
 Now i present me: 

  My name is Jose Eugenio Marchesi, and i am a spanish last-year (hopefully :) 
  Computing Engineer student. I have a long experience with the Linux
  kernel and other UNIXes. Also, i maintain the GNU ACM package, and 
  i coordine the Free Software Foundation official branch in Spain. 


I consider the Hurd as a new exciting approach to kernel design, and i 
see it powerful architecture as the best option for the GNU project.

For now i want to study the hurd and, eventually, take part in it 
development, as long as i can.

Well, greetings from me to all the HURD community.

Virtual Consoles in Hurd

2001-01-24 Thread Jose Eugenio Marchesi




Would be good to make virtual consoles support into the
GNU/Hurd environment.

But would be useful make it with new powerful features. Some
ideas:

 * Clone the Emacs buffer approach (!)
  (The same keystrokes?)
  (Display more than one VC at same time? C-x2?)
   
 * Built-in text flow from one VC to another.
   (How?)

 * Run-Time configuration via keystrokes (or a special configuration VC).
   (Emulation type, ...)
   (Menus?)

 * One special VC for system messages.
   (Special keystrokes?)

 * Other special VCs.

 * ...
 (Please, give ideas!)

Perhaps some of these capabilities would be builded into the 
shell?

Perhaps these capabilities are completely absurd?

What servers must be used/modified/created to do this? What would be
the best way?


I know it is a lot of work. But i am ready to start this effort ':)

Re: Unattended issues

2005-08-27 Thread Jose E. Marchesi


You could have asked for a simple super-duper experimental CVS branch,
or simply given good reasons to add it to a less experimental branch
like ams-branch.

If Sergio needs more flexibility in order to espontaneous commit his
(and other people) experimental/untested patches, i think there is
nothing wrong in have a separate CVS repository for the development.

Some other experimental development on Hurd is already being hosted on
savannah, and have its own CVS repository: the powerpc port.

Anyway, the proliferation of -branches such as
ams-branch or sergio-branch would be a quite wrong strategy, imho.

Re: Unattended issues

2005-08-27 Thread Jose E. Marchesi


This is not a bad thing per se if you guys don't feel like working on
Mach anymore, but it would probably be good to communicate this clearly
to people either way, as some still seem to be interested in hacking on
it.

Since at least one of the two GNU maintainers for the Hurd (Marcus) is
primarily working on the l4 port, perhaps would be a good idea to
think on getting separate GNU maintainers for GNU Mach and GNU Mig.

After all, these are separate GNU packages.

Hurd Meeting in Madrid

2005-10-26 Thread Jose E. Marchesi


Hi.

First of all, sorry for the off-topic, but i think you could find
interesting the "experience" we are going to do in Madrid next 4, 5
and 6 November.

We are preparing a three days hurd-specific meeting on Madrid (web on
http://es.gnu.org/hurdmeeting2005). The event is specifically oriented
to developers, and the main goal is to teach hackers on how to hack on
both GNU Mach and the Hurd.

Take a look to the calendar and the activities:

* Friday 4
  o 19:00 -- Meeting introduction.
  o 20:00 -- Installing GNU/Hurd from scratch. 
  o 00:00 -- End of the day.
* Saturday 5
  o 11:00 -- Mach and Hurd concepts
  o 16:00 -- Mach VM and Hurd pagers
  o 20:00 -- Mach IPC and MIG RPC
  o 00:00 -- End of the day.
* Sunday 6
  o 12:00 -- Mach Threads and migrating threads
  o 16:00 -- Porting GNU Mach to other architectures
  o 18:00 -- Alternative Microkernels: L4, EROS
  o 20:00 -- End of the meeting


... much work to do these three days. Well, we dont know how many
people will be attracted to this kind of event (it is extremely
technical and the topic is difficult and not popular) nor if the
attendants will be able to acquire enough knowledge to start hacking,
but we are going to try anyway.

We will report the result of the experiment. We hope it will be
successful and to make a second Hurd Meeting on Madrid the next year
(international, or course!).

Wish luck for us! :)

I am somewhat confused. I did not know that another project named
"HUSH" was lurking around (another shell, indeed!) 

My HUSH mean for HUrdish SHell, and is an extension to GNU bash to support
Hurd interpreted translators. It is entirely new work. It not relates
to any other shell.

So apologizes for the name conflict. I am thinking on other names
for my bash extension. Any idea? :)

apt-get fails with an undefined symbol

2009-05-07 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi Folks.

I just did a dist-upgrade. Thuesday, may 7, 5:45pm at Spain.

After this, when i try use again apt-get, i get this error output:

# apt-get
apt-get: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: undefined symbol: 
__pthread_recursive_mutexattr
#

So, now i can not update the system. Be careful if you still do not fall in 
this.

Do you see a solution for this problem?. Maybe download manually next version 
of libstdc++ package?.
dpkg utility looks works fine...

I hope be useful for the Group.

Regards.

Jose.

Problem with qemu cirrus driver and Debian GNU/Hurd

2010-03-30 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hey Folks, How do you doing?.

Seems like there are a problem with the cirrus driver on Debian GNU/Hurd.
I have too a BSD system emulated by the same qemu machine and Xorg looks
really great, the cirrus driver works in this case. Its no a trouble only 
with the current qemu. It is a trouble with Qemu + Hurd. So, it must have 
a solution.

Samuel, your eye is always sharp with the Xorg related stuff. 

Attached, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Thank you, in advance.

Best Regards.

Jose.

Ever is more easy begin with a updated system.

Samuel, indeed i must confess you're my hero, (well, one of them). ;)

The result i got was a totally black screen. Maybe, like you say, the
clients can't connect. But with 

startx -- -retro -ac

FluxBox begin very nice and works very well.

Thank you, again.

exim4 paniclog

2010-04-14 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi.

I use mutt from Debian GNU/Hurd, and one dependence is exim4 MTA. At the
boot of the system this message is shown:

Starting MTA: exim4.
ALERT: exim paniclog /var/log/paniclog has non-zero size, mail possibly
broken ... failed!

I tried delete the /var/log/paniclog file, but 2 boots after the alert is
shown again. Maybe isn't very important, but, is there a fix for this?. What
is happening, why this message?.

Thanks very much, in advance.

Regards.

Hi Folks,

After upgrade, an error occurs when startx.

The file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10/mouse.conf has a line that say

MatchIsMouse  "on"

and the 'startx' output says that "MatchIsMouse" is not a valid keyword.

Commenting this line, Xorg works fine again.

GNU/Hurd and CloneZilla

2010-10-10 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi Friends.

I use Debian GNU/Hurd under Qemu, with a disk image that originally had 1,5
Gb. of size. Now, after more than a year of use it, the space on it is very
limited:

$ df -Th /
df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems
FilesystemTypeSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
--1.5G  1.1G  375M  75% /
$

My idea is create a clean Qemu disk image with, for example, 4 or 6 Gb. and
"clone" the disk image i'm using now. I tried first with 'dd' command, but
once the clonation is done, the new system only "see" the 1,5 Gb. that have
the original image. Isn't able to recognices the extra space that have the
new .img file where i duplicate it.

Searching for another solution i found a special live CD named CloneZilla.
It
looks like a good software for do Hard Disks clonations and copies, but all
the attemps i made with the two Qemu images ended with errors. I think that
CloneZilla "see" the disks like sda and sdb units, i don't know if this can
be the cause of the errors. My question is: Do you know if CloneZilla can be
used with a GNU/Hurd system?. And taking this opportunity: Do you know
another way for do what i pretend?.

As always, thanks you very much for your big kindness.

Regards.

Jose.

Qemu image with a working system

2010-10-11 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hello.

I was spending some time preparing a new Qemu image. This time is totally
based on my own "day by day" Debian GNU/Hurd system. Last dist-upgrade was
sunday 10/03/2010. It have a complete working Xorg system included, as well
as others programs, games,... The complete packages list is in the file
Packages.txt, under the superuser 'root' directory. I deleted my "real" user
account and added a "generic" user, 'smith' (yes, i like the Matrix saga).

The 'root' user password is "root" and the 'smith' user password is "smith". 
 
The window manager i like and use is FluxBox, but you can install whaterver
you want. Under the superuser 'root' directory you can find a shell script
with the command line i use for enter to the Console. If someone wants can
improve the system making the Console starts at System boot.

I tried to apply the "holes" elimination method that Samuel Thibault
recommended at http://lists.debian.org/debian-hurd/2010/04/msg00074.html but
the command 'dd < /dev/zero > /mnt/mnt/foo bs=1M' fails because there is not
enough free space on the "disk". My humble opinion is that is important get
a bigger disk image than this with only 1,5 Gb. for a better "GNU/Hurd on
Qemu" experience. But i don't know how to get it, sorry. At least, by now.

Well, you can download the Qemu image here,

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6417512/Hurd/debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img.tar.gz

Enjoy it!!.

Regards.

Jose.

Hi Samuel.

I ran the above 'dd' command. The image actually becomes bigger, 'ls -lh' on
the GNU/Linux "host" system says debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img has 2.0 Gb.,
but running the qemu machine, executing Debian GNU/Hurd like "guest" system,
'df -Th /' still says the "disk" has a size of 1.5 Gb. It's unable to see
the added space.

And about how to get an usable Swap memory, what do you suggest?.

Thanks, very much.

Regards.

Jose.

Samuel, please,

What's the difference between run this two commands?:

dd if=/dev/zero of=debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img.tar seek=2146959359 bs=1 
count=1

dd if=/dev/zero of=debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img seek=2146959359 bs=1 count=1

Do both "the same thing", or not?.

Thanks, in advance.

Okey then. I think i read your mind and understanded what you meant :)

The image uploaded to 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6417512/Hurd/debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img.tar.gz

was done using the latter command,

dd if=/dev/zero of=debian-hurd-03102010-qemu.img seek=2146959359 bs=1 count=1

So, now i'm trying to guess how to use that space that "can't be seen" for 
create a
Swap area.

Thanks you very much, Samuel.

Jose.

/dev/urandom: Unknown device name

2010-10-26 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi.

I'm trying to generate a key using 'gpg --gen-key' command, but at the end
of the process the output ends with:

"gpg: fatal: can't open /dev/urandom: No such file or directory
secmem usage: 2304/2304 bytes in 8/8 blocks of pool 2304/32768"

Then i try to create the /dev/urandom device using the /dev/MAKEDEV script,
and the output is:

"./MAKEDEV: urandom: Unknown device name"

How can be this managed?, what do the /dev/urandom device?, exist (or must
exist) /dev/urandom on a GNU/Hurd system?.

Thanks in advance, for your answers.

Thanks Jakub.

Install the package random-egd was the solution and now the command 
'gpg --gen-key' works well and generate keys.

Thanks very much for the replies.

I did:

# rm -v /var/lib/dpkg/*
# apt-get update

and the problem seems solved. All the files on the directory was rewritten.

Thank you.

Thanks for your reply, Guillem.

After the 'apt-get update' command the dpkg database files are with the
usual content and they are doing their job quite well.

Re: Problems in Debian GNU/Hurd with Xorg and GCC

2020-07-03 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi, Almudena. About the startx issue, takea look to this extract:"X.Org has been ported and all video cards, which it supports that do not require a kernel module or drm should work. You need to already be running the Hurd console and have repeaters setup as indicated in the previous section. For instance, check that echo $TERM prints hurd, and check that /dev/cons/kbd and /dev/cons/mouse exist. You need to run dpkg-reconfigure x11-common xserver-xorg-legacy to allow any user to start Xorg, because the X wrapper does not know about the Hurd and Mach consoles. You also need to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable the control-alt-backspace shortcut: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbOptions" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" EndSection It may happen that for some reason Xorg chooses a 16/9 resolution but a 4/3 desktop size. Blame Xorg, not the Hurd :) To avoid the issue, append this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section "Screen" Identifier "myScreen" SubSection "Display" Virtual 1024 768 EndSubSection EndSection You will need several X packages. xorg, rxvt and a window manager: twm, icewm, openbox, ... are a good start. If you want X to get started at boot, you have to install a display manager. lightdm and gdm do not work yet, but xdm should just work fine. Finally, run startx /usr/bin/yourwm".Is taken from this Web Page:https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-installWich can be considered a kind of "bible" for using Debian GNU/Hurd nowdays.Hope this advice helps you.Regards.Jose. --Enviado desde mi teléfono Android con mail.com 1 Mail.

Hi all:

Today, I'm trying to install Debian GNU/Hurd in a new Thinkpad T60.

I installed the latest image, from January 2020.

But I found some problems in packaging and system running.

In Xorg, when I try to execute
startx, Xorg fails showing error
No screens found.

I was checking configurations, but I don't found the origin of this error.

Additionally, I have some problems with packaging:

- Running
apt build-dep gnumach, I found a dependency conflict with
libgcc1 package.

- And
git also requires an older version of
git-man than the default version offered by apt.

I found also similar problems in
vim, and many other packages.

I attach some images with the errors

Can you solve these problems?

Thanks

Is Gnome working in Debian Hurd nowdays?

Hi.

I'm wondering if this days is a good idea install gnome in a debian hurd

Right now using FluxBox. The change would be very important, indeed.

Opinions and tips?, please.

I was reading very carefully the documentation page on the GNU Hurd website
titled 'Small Examples on Using Translators'. The part of the Translator
/hurd/hello was exactly as the text said. Very promising intro to the
Translators universe.

I have questions on the Transparent FTP with the /hurd/ftpfs translator. Cos
is short, i paste here the text in the website:

We already setup a a transparent FTP translator for you at /ftp:

With it you can easily access public FTP via the file system, for example the 
one from the GNU project:

$ ls /ftp://ftp.gnu.org/
But you can also do this very easily yourself:

$ # Setup the translator on the node ftp:
$ settrans -c ftp: /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
and you can access FTP sites via the pseudo-directory ftp:, for example with

$ ls ftp://ftp.gnu.org/
What you do here is setting up the translator /hurd/hostmux on ftp: and passing 
it the translator /hurd/ftpfs to use for resolving accesses as well as / as 
additional path component.

The 'test' work exactly as the text say, and i did ls on the GNU FTP, but i 
want to introduce here my
question: Can this be done also with a ftp server that requires an user name
and password?. I have my account with user name and password and do well
"traditional ftp". Can i get too have this Transparent FTP that the
marvelous concept of the Translator allows?.

Thanks very much, in advance.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

My sequence of commands:

 $ settrans -c ftp: /hurd/hostmux /hurd/ftpfs /
 $ ls ftp://myuser:mypas...@servername.net/
ls: cannot access 'ftp://myuser:mypas...@servername.net/': Translator died
 $

An important aclaration, when i connect the ftp server through conventional
ftp, i input:

 $ ftp servername.net
 >

The part 'ftp://' is not needed. Can this be important?. I tried this:

 $ ls myuser:mypas...@servername.net
 $ ls: cannot access 'myuser:mypas...@servername.net': No such file or directory
 $

I feel a bit frustated, i confess.

Anyway, you always are very kind, Samuel. A million thanks for that.

Regards.

Jose Luis.

Hello!.

Already know what i was doing wrong yesterday. I was trying to reproduce from 
the
beginning the whole process without 'deactivate' in the fist place all the nodes
with settrans -fg, and so the Translator died. Once erased all the nodes: /,
/hurd/ftpfs, /hurd/hostmux and ftp: i am able to begin again and now i'm
mounting my personal FTP account into the filesystem and operating with it
like with any other directory, with the Unix commands. This is very useful
and really very powerful.

Thanks.

Regards.
Jose Luis.

Hard Disk size limits on GNU Hurd

2024-03-22 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi.

Several years ago there was a limit in the size of the hard disks that Hurd
could manage. If i'm not wrong, i think it was 5 Gb. or so.

Is still this limit working right now?, or can i create a disk image (for
kvm) with the size i decide (20 Gb. let's say)?.

Thanks very much, in advance.

My try of build the source code finish at the configure phase, saying "NO"
when Checking for type struct timex.

I'm not a programmer, i'm only an enthusiastic user, no more. This task
requires a real programmer, i think.

Sorry for the failure. Thanks very much.

Hi Richard.

If you don't want "deactivate" those parts... Can't you "create" in any
way a empty symbol named current_set that match with the symbol the
driver wants?. It this possible?.

Thanks for your work.

Driver used by Xorg

2007-06-22 Thread Jose Luis Alarcon Sanchez

Hi.

My PC box have a Nvidia GeForce2 card. With Debian
GNU/Hurd, Xorg 7.2 uses the vesa driver. If i change
this in the conf file and try to use de nv driver,
the system fails frotzen and i must to reset.

Only the vesa driver is usable with the GNU/Hurd
system?. If yes, why?.

Thanks very much, in advance.

xf86ReadBIOS() can't device open

Hi Folks.

I have a just now compiled gnumach kernel from Branch 1. It looks
run okey except at time of run Xorg. The boot of X stop with
this mesage:

Fatal server error:
xf86ReadBIOS() can't device open. ((os/device) no such device)

At this point i can do Ctrl+z and kill the process. If i return
to the kernel that came with K14 CD i can run Xorg without
problems (only with vesa driver, you know...).

I used autoreconf -i -f for build the configure script, and used
the --enable-lpr --enable-floppy flags to run it. The configure
went well, but finished with a warning about it's better have
automake-1.10 than my actual automake-1.9. I tried apt-get
the newer version, but in the hurd repositories don't exist
1.10.

The make part was really quickly and around 7 or 9 minutes the
gnumach binary was build. At this point i did 'strip gnumach'
copy in the /boot repository (previous backup of the former
kernel) and at last gzip gnumach.

Reboot okey, net okey, hurd console okey, all looks okey, except
this problem with xf86ReadBIOS(). :(

What do you think about it?. Can you help with this, please?.

Thanks you very much, in advance.

Regards.

Jose.

Hi Samuel.

The first, Thank you very much, like ever in this last days.

I'm afraid i don't understand from where get the patch. If i do
a dpkg -L gnumach, the output say:

Dont' see a 40_iopl_mmap_.patch here.

I was looking for too at the Savannah site, but can't find
such patch.

Sorry for my ignorance, please.

Thanks.
