Website down?

aade: it's responding to me (from Italy)

Just me then.

For a bugreport I should post the output of the following command: printf '\x1b'

But it doesn1t seem to work on my side:

szilard@omnios:~% strace printf '\x1b'

ERROR: unable to open /dev/log

szilard@omnios:~% sudo strace printf '\x1b'

Password:

ERROR: tracer already exists

Whats wrong with this? Is strace is dtrace under the hood or something?

No

Well at least not to my knowledge. Are you actually trying to debug printf?

What shell are you using to start with?

SunOS omnios 5.11 omnios-r151056-1acbca4f5bd i86pc i386 i86pc

I try to help to debug this: fish-shell/fish-shell #12458

With bash for instance you get a built-in printf

this is zsh:

szilard@omnios:~% echo $SHELL

/usr/bin/zsh

and if you strace /usr/bin/printf you get the same thing?

I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to do. Are you on Linux doing this or what?

root@omnios:~# echo $SHELL

/usr/bin/zsh

root@omnios:~# strace /usr/bin/printf '\x1b'

ERROR: tracer already exists

still the same.

strace is a tool to trace STREAMS messages. I think you want `truss`

which is closer to the Linux strace

aade: fish segfaults on OmniOS. I try to compare its behaviour with Linux to find any possible culprits.

andyf: thanks!

ezilard: Like andyf said, truss is the analog on illumos. I assumed however that you'd already tried that by reading your bug report. Toward the top of the page you have truss and then later on down in the oodles of trace dumps you're running strace.

And there's mentions of Linux.

What is fish and is this porting work you're trying to do?

Have you analyzed the core dump perhaps?

I am trying to install windows server in a bhyve zone, the installer boots but the mouse doesn't works. Any hints?

what options are passed to bhyve? the working config I have has `-s 30:0,fbuf,vga=off,wait,w=1600,h=1200,unix=/z/vm/bhwin/vnc/vm.vnc -s 30:1,xhci,tablet` at the end of the args (this is on openindiana)

(the unix=... path is to set the socket endpoint used by VNC)

I use zoneadm / zadm, so I am not in full control of the passed args

sure, but you can still look at the args of the running process with pargs

sure!

I believe the tablet-style mouse is what works best for VNC console for a VM

this is my bhyve.cfg: paste.omnios.org/?79add231dea89be7#…Vic9ApM9EnKZjvV4LiueiHaM8URfoqtynkp

sommerfeld: maybe I am facing this: gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt/-/issues/718

yes, I have -s 31,lpc earlier in the args

I have a vague memory of someone commenting about the lpc 30/31 issue here or one of the similar channels recently

or maybe not so recently: I think this is the bit I remembered log.omnios.org/omnios/2025-07-17

will check, thanks

I have modified the zone config like type=windows, it sets lpc to 31, which I can see in the bhyve.cfg:

pci.0.31.0.device=lpc

it still doesn't works.

Give me a minute and I'll paste mine. I just need to boot the machine that has it.

szilard - here is the zadm config for one of my windows VMs - paste.omnios.org/?11a653edf8901dc4#…nqC7o35GZsd1uuuJd2MaXVhyVoUQDFG8Fdx
