<damo22>Pellescours: define the ones you need to move out of the lib as "extern" and only link them via the lib <damo22>the libraries will be useless on their own but we never need to use them without at least one copy of each <damo22>azeem: are you involved with the debian packaging for hurd-i386 port? <damo22>or the administration of the port <_bo>There seems to be no dedicated channel to debian-hurd, so I'll ask here. When trying to install hurd in virtualbox, pseudo-graphical install gets stuck after "creating device nodes" step. No output, nothing, just sits there <youpi>debian channels are on the oftc network <youpi>how much ram did you give to the vm? <_bo>Machine has 256Mb RAM and 32 video <youpi>I'm even surprised it boots at all <_bo>Understood. Official gnu doc says that hurd is 32-bits and there are no plans going 64, so should 2gb be enough? <youpi>where do you see that there is no plans going 64bit? <youpi>please tell us where you saw that wrongsaying <youpi>(no, "official gnu doc" is really not precise enough) <_bo>Maybe I misunderstood, I'm not clear on what userland or any land is <youpi>there are plans for 64-bit kernelland with 32-bit userland <youpi>maybe you can read a bit about operating systems <zamfofex>It means the kernel will be running in 64‐bit mode, but executables will still be 32‐bit. <_bo>That was another question - I did read freebsd user handbook few years ago, that was fantastic intruduction to the system, so I was wondering if hurd had something similar? <youpi>there are such kinds of documentation yes <youpi>but for kernel/user land in general, you can read any documentation about operating systems in general <_bo>I'll direct my questions to oftc for debian-related stuff <iska>hmm. I installed the new hurd and mach, get thrown into read-only mach terminal <iska>can't fsck, mtab file missing <ThinkT510>The archhurd packages don't seem to have been updated since 2019 <ThinkT510>suprised that they updated the latest news post to point to libera chat though <aoeu>Seems that debian is the only supported distro <aoeu>Or at least not 100% dead ***aoeu is now known as _bo
<ThinkT510>there is also guix but all development seems to be done on debian
