<youpi>io_read RPCs can be submitted async yes <youpi>it's not only devices, but files too <azeem>Postgres is moving to async I/O <azeem>youpi: if you want, I can follow-up with Thomas Munro and CC you so you could discuss directly with him <azeem>Thomas also asked whether __gnu_hurd__ would be better than __GNU__ as platform macro, but I think we usually recommmend __GNU__? <azeem>ah, he pushed the fix with __GNU__, I didn't see his latest mail <gnu_srs1>Is it possible to debug the boot sequence with gdb? Probably not. If a script is invoked set -x could be used. What to do otherwise? <gnu_srs1>I think the setup-translators script should check if default-pager exists before: touch default-pager 2> /dev/null. Something like if [ -x default-pager]; then rm default-pager; fi <azeem>is setup-translators run during boot? <gnu_srs1>And setup-translators fails if the default-pager is broken: /usr/lib/hurd/setup-translators -K <gnu_srs1>/hurd/proxy-defpager: no default memory manager set!; chmod: cannot access 'default-pager' : Translator died! <gnu_srs1>booting the image in Rescue mode with the installer works fine. apt etc is OK, and network works if set up manually. <sneek>jack-sparrow, you have 1 message! <sneek>jack-sparrow, gnucode says: It will be a long time before the latest firefox is updated to work on the Hurd. The "best" web browser for the Hurd seems to be Ladybird. Sergey got it compiled and running some time ago. It may be a several years before you can do an 'apt install ladybird'. <azert>I doubt that Ladybird still compiles under the Hurd! <azert>But you can apt-get install surf <azert>gnome wouldn’t be desiderable even if it worked imho <azert>ok, then it probably works for you <azert>imho is short for In My Humble Opinion <azert>which actually means the opposite and it’s something used when behaving arrogant <azert>gnome doesn’t even install on the hurd <azert>there are no Bluetooth nor WiFi drivers <azert>what you claim is impossible <azert>but.. X11 works, and you can use “surf” as an excellent web browser <azert>if you are into communistic looking gtk desktop, try xfce! That was working some time ago <azert>looks broken from your paste <azert>check the x11 configuration, you can set the resolution in xorg.conf <youpi>that's documented in the hurd-install webpage <azert>also you can exit icewm using the menu item, no need to kill it <youpi>azert: exiting icewm will not manage to kill the X server <azert>Try the surf browser, should work <azert>That looks like an error Linux side <azert>I wonder if Debian webmasters aware that their pasteboard is being used for illegal activities? <azeem>azeem: the pastebin is a debian.net service, though run by an indidual developer and not the webmasters <azeem>(that individual happens to be my boss at work) <jab>surf does work. You might have to compile from source, but it does work.
