[Syllable] The free desktop and server operating system family

| Kaj 29-Nov-2006 [655x4] | That's right, Syllable is not Unix. Indeed there is no /mnt directory. There could be, and like Unix, volumes can be mounted anywhere in the file tree, but the convention is to mount volumes in the root: / |
On the desktop, you can open the Disks folder, and then rightclick in the background to get a mount dialog and choose an available volume. Those will be mounted in the root. Manually in the terminal, you could mount volumes anywhere with the mount and unmount commands | |
A clear distinction from Unix is that the root of the filesystem is virtual (it's kept in a RAM disk). Links, directories and mounts there are cleared when the system is rebooted | |
What exactly happened with the Whisper mail program? How could you not open what folder? | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [659] | Hm, the screen corruption in VMWare should be fixed in 0.6.2 |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [660] | is this 0.6.2 version I downloaded? |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [661] | Graham, do you mean the terminal doesn't open? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [662x2] | Yep. |
Double click on the terminal icon on the desktop .. nothing happens. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [664] | It should be 0.6.2. Look in the Syllable menu upper left and then About |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [665] | I did that ... |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [666] | What version does it say? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [667x2] | 0.6.2 |
screen full of corrupted Abrowse screens. Rebooting the image. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [669] | What does the screen corruption look like? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [670x2] | Like it's not refreshing the screen. |
Won't shut down either. going to kill it via windows task manager. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [672x2] | Better use Ctrl-Alt-Del |
If you move the mouse over it, does that part get drawn? That was the old problem | |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [674x3] | Just rebooted .. |
I typed http://www.rebol.com/in the browser ... and it's not doing much. | |
the terminal now opens but leaves a trial all over the browser as I move the terminal window around ...so i guess the browser is busy | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [677x2] | Yes |
It's using DHCP, so VMWare has to be configured to support that | |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [679x2] | Oh .. |
All the other vmware images I have used seem to browse fine. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [681] | I think something needs to be configured, but I don't know what |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [682] | Most things don't work I'm afraid. |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [683] | Maybe you have to set Syllable to DHCP, in the Network Preferences |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [684x2] | terminal prompts don't appear. |
Apps window doesn't open. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [686] | I thought you had a terminal now? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [687x2] | It disappeared on me. |
there's a task bar on the top .. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [689] | I never heard of so many problems in VMWare. Does it emulate a multicore CPU or something? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [690] | it shows two terminals running .. but both are unresponsive. |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [691] | What CPU do you have? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [692x3] | Mobile Pentium |
laptop | |
centrino | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [695] | Hyperthreading? Multicore? |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [696x3] | HT I think |
not multicore | |
maybe not even HT | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [699] | SMP doesn't support all SMP-type configurations yet. You could try disabling it |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [700] | in preferences? |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [701] | A boot parameter needs to be added to the GrUB menu. It's a bit tricky |
| Graham 10-Dec-2006 [702x2] | I see :( |
well, nothing is responding .. so time to kill vmware player again. | |
| Kaj 10-Dec-2006 [704] | I think you would be best off trying the live CD, not VMWare. And then choose the menu option to disable SMP |
