<damo22>gnumach CI has already helped a lot

<damo22>i fixed xen build

<jab>thanks for making us a CI damo22

<damo22>and thanks to rrq for letting me use his machine as a runner

<damo22>hmm xen SMP could be ported

<Guest78>Hello

<Guest78>What is the link for the 64-bit Hurd ISO image?

<damo22>Guest78: look for debian ports

<damo22> https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/latest/hurd-amd64/

<Guest78>damo22 Which of those packages contains the ISO image?

<damo22>depends what you want, if you want to boot it in qemu its way easier to grab the img.gz

<damo22>as once you gunzip that file you can boot it directly with qemu

<damo22>but if you want to install it from scratch onto a disk you probably want the netinst.iso

<Guest78>xample To install from scratch, which package contains all of that? damo22

<damo22>netinst.iso

<damo22>that one boots from a cd and installs over the net

<Guest78>Thanks, I'll give it a try and see if it helps me install it with a window manager or desktop environment. damo22

<damo22>what are you planning on installing it onto?

<damo22>real hardware or qemu?

<Guest78>qemu damo22

<damo22>as i said before, if you just want to spin up a working qemu image, download the img.gz

<damo22>then you dont have to run the installer

<damo22>its all in the README

<Guest78>Thanks, but I want to try gnu/hurd from scratch. damo22

<damo22>ok

<Guest78>Did I identify the ISO for qemu with Debian 13? damo22

<damo22> https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/latest/hurd-amd64/current/debian-sid-hurd-amd64-NETINST-1.iso

<Pellescours>when running hurd (i386) with gnumach latests and smp (compiled myself) it hang during rumpdisk (after ahcisata 6 message). I used kdb to try diagnose, and when I "show msg" it shows a message with at the end "*** invalid type"

<Pellescours>I don’t know if it’s 1) the debugger to update or 2) a bug and a message is "corrupted" (so that’s why the hang, consummer waiting on something that will never come because invalid)

<Guest78>To begin with, there are problems in the prompt in the *Pseudo-graphical install (Hurd Console) option, and it returns to the same console graphic, crashing the installation system. damo22

<Guest78>In text mode, installation makes me panic.

<Guest78>Conclusion: The Hurd network installation ISO does not run from the installation options, resulting in busg in qemu.

<sobkas>Oh, during compilation of for example cmake 'watch sync' get stuck, sync just doesn't exit ctrl-c is needed

<sobkas>It get stuck at _hurd_intr_rpc_mach_msg at INTR_MSG_TRAP

<sobkas>And I hoped that learning about gnumach could be avoided...

<sobkas>At least until I start doing evdevd stuff

<sobkas>Is it possible to have chroot on tmpfs/memfs?

<azeem> ~.

<azeem>meh

<sobkas>Ok, using real hd /dev/wd* for building stuff makes system laggy, processes hang for no reason and are killed at random, while being really slow

<sobkas>while running fs on /hurd/storeio is fast, responsive and watch sync doesn't stop at random

<Pellescours>how do I debug my "invalid type message"? I don’t know what to check

<azeem>
