<nexussfan>Does it run on HURD?

<jack-sparrow>if hurd have lua, yes

<nexussfan>It does

<jack-sparrow>you can test so

<jack-sparrow>it's just my first evining work on

<jack-sparrow>it's just the begining

<nexussfan>What was the command to get the translator that a file is using?

<nexussfan>Oh, showtrans

<nexussfan>Trying to convert my ipv4 only pfinet to ipv6

<nexussfan>"device in use", "numerical result out of range"

<nexussfan>latter means fsck now

<nexussfan>former is circular dep

<nexussfan>That's the only problem with rumpnet

<nexussfan>It always corrupts your fs

<nexussfan>Ah, I'll just have to reinstall then.

<nexussfan>Tommorrow

<rrq>is there man page for /hurd/pfinet ?

<nexussfan>I'm following https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-install

<nexussfan>First I did "settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26 -i /dev/wm0"

<nexussfan>Then, "settrans -p /servers/socket/26 /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2 -i /dev/wm0"

<nexussfan>But this said that it was busy

<nexussfan>So I thought it was socket 2 using it

<nexussfan>Tried to replace socket 2

<nexussfan>FS CORRUPTED!

<nexussfan>pfinet/rumpnet has something extremely wrong with it

<nexussfan>I'll just let the installer do it

<rrq>well /servers/socket/inet6 -> 26 while "showtrans /servers/socket/26" gives /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2

<rrq>it would be nice with a man page

<rrq>firstly I got both /2 and /26 cleared by settrans -fgo /servers/socket/26 etc

<rrq>then I used: settrans -fgap /servers/socket/26 /hurd/pfinet -4 /servers/socket/2

<rrq>and complementary settrans -fgap /servers/socket/2 /hurd/pfinet -6 /servers/socket/26

<rrq>thereafter configuration in /etc/network/interfaces for /dev/eth0

<rrq>to operate it with ifup/ifdown

<azeem>rrq: the GNU project historically preferred info manuals to manpages

<azeem>I would assume manpages as reference documentation for specific commands would get accepted nowadays if somebody contributed good content

<rrq>I don't mind the format and would gladly read an pfinet info manual:)

<damo22>gnumach with xen platform, does it use x86_64/locore.S ?

<damo22>it compiles it in

<damo22>there is a xen_locore.S

<damo22>does it really use both?

<damo22>does it make sense to have a xen build with --enable-apic ?

<azeem>I hoped Michael's xmm signal patch for glibc might fix the hanging Postgres test suite issues, but alas, they are still there with it

<azeem>whoa, Phoronix reports on youpi's FOSDEM talk: https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Hurd-In-2026 "GNU Hurd Is "Almost There" With x86_64, SMP & ~75% Of Debian Packages Building"

<azert>I cannot access Samuel’ video https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/7FZXHF-updates_on_gnuhurd_progress_rump_drivers_64bit_smp_software_bootstrapping/

<azert>is it a common issue or only my connection?

<bjc>doesn't load for me, either

<azeem>there are a few video links further down, maybe one of those works

<azert>azeem: nope

<azert>they are

<azert>0 bytes files

<azeem>hrmpf

<azeem>well, good for those like me that attended live

<azeem>but maybe youpi needs to review and approve the recording first or something
