I implemented ripoffline(3) in NetBSD and it shipped in-8. It now transpires there were a few problems with the implementation, mainly in regards to screen resizing, which is an extension to POSIX, but supported by ncurses and PDCurses.
Many improvements have been made with regards to compability with NetBSD and the others, but there are the following caveats:
NetBSD will only resize stdscr, curscr and virtscr windows (like PDCurses) NetBSD clears the window when resized NetBSD will re-size and re-position the ripped off lines (like ncurses) NetBSD will not change LINES when ripoffline is called and may offset stdscr to it’s relative position on the screen.
OK, it’s not really in the news, but today I got a message of apprecation for what openresolv does.
Thanks for openresolv. If only the whole world used it... Rome wasn’t built in a day. But it’s getting there- openresolv can be found in NetBSD and FreeBSD base systems. It’s available in most other OS’s package respositories to at least depend upon.
Thanks
[ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Got error 9 from storage engine
Nice error. Googling for it doesn’t reveal much on how to fix it. The good news is that I only use MySQL for Phabricator and PostreSQL for everything else. The bad news is that my Phabricator instance is no longer working. The worse news is that I get the same error when trying to use backups, so there must be something else in play here.
I’m desperately trying to retire a server i have. It’s sole remaining task is to share the attached printer on the network via Samba. It uses CUPS as the backend. Trying to print a test page gives No such file or directory. That’s nice, but it should at least say what the file or directory it cannot find actually is.
Trying to connect to the printer from a Windows machine (I can see the printer find in the server share) gives an error that it cannot connect, but nothing appears in the Samba or CUPS logs.
