<damo22>yang3: typically you dont put a permanent mount on cdrom in fsta

<damo22>youpi: how do you specify hexdump of memory more than one location i tried "x/100 variable"

<youpi>damo22: see the mach manual, x variable,100

<yang3>what is the equivalent of "ps wuxa" in hurd?

<yang3>I only see 3 processes listed, but on poweroff i see that there are more

<azeem>dunno, "ps auxw" shows quite a few

<azeem>maybe the Hurd's ps takes ordering of arguments more seriously than Linux' ps

<PommeGolden>apparently it doesn't use options placed after -w, no mention of this in the man page so it's more likely to be a bug

<yang3>yes, ps auxw shows them all

<yang3>strange, other combination of letters will only list 3 processes

<youpi>note that hurd's ps options are not the same as procps's ps

<youpi>so it's not the same meanings

<yang3>"poweroff" doesn't power off the laptop, it halts it, but doesn't power it off

<jlas9>yang3: For Hurd, the right command is poweroff-hurd.

<youpi>no, in principle poweroff will work, unless some process is stuck

<youpi>but acpi being what it is, the acpi translator might manage to halt various hardware

<yang3>same thing happens with "poweroff-hurd" the last message is "hwsleep-0079 entering sleep state S5"

<yang3>it still has a visible screen

<yang3>Has anyone tried Hurd in combinations with libreboot "BIOS"?
