Multimedia / Re: Media Servers for OS/2 ?
« on: April 02, 2015, 09:51:20 pm »
Hi Greggory


Sure ffmpeg, mplayer, memcode...  It runs on Java 6 I'm using it right now after replacing those files ! Is there a permanent way to odinize files ?

Move 'Mediatomb' to the root directory to get it running Pete and keep the home directory inside the Mediatomb directory.


Greggory


Interesting... Here the UMS download links look like this:-

http://sourceforge.net/projects/unimediaserver/files/Official%20Releases/Windows/UMS-5.1.0-Java7.exe/download

Ie they all mention Java7 - as do forum discussions about current UMS builds.


With regard to a "permanent way to odinize files" I seem to recall there was a utility supplied with early versions of Odin that was meant to do that job - cannot remember what it was called and do not remember anyone having success with it. Maybe that is why it is no longer included.


Putting mediatomb in the root of a drive resolves the problem "ERROR: Could not create directory /mediatomb/home/.mediatomb : No such file or directory" -  Thanks  :-)

Now, on to working out how to configure and use this software... All tips/experiences welcome.

Pete

Hi All

I've just been trying to get mediatomb running but have run into a problem:-


2015-04-02 02:37:41   ERROR: Could not create directory /mediatomb/home/.mediatomb : No such file or directory


The directory /mediatomb/home gets created but /mediatomb/home/.mediatomb does not

Manually creating the directory /mediatomb/home/.mediatomb does not resolve the problem; the above message is still displayed when trying to start mediatomb.

Any ideas how to resolve this problem?


Regards

Pete

Hi Greggory

Judging by the fact that UMS is available for Windows, Linux and Mac I would guess that it is not pure java and relies on some "native" operating system support files for some functionality.

It also looks like java7 is required.

Nice cake - but is someone trying to pretend they are younger by only having 13 candles on the cake?    ;D

A slightly late HAPPY BIRTHDAY to os2world.com and THANK YOU for the past 15 years.

Hi Martin

Yes, cups needs to be installed to the root of a drive - not necessarily C:

Hi Per

Have you checked out the SQLite Manager available as a Firefox/Seamonkey extension? - see https://code.google.com/p/sqlite-manager/

Hi Leo

Your link points to my comment that cups cannot "autodetect" my network printer which is the case here.

If that is all the problem is then you could follow my tip for creating a cups printer profile manually which can then be fully configured using the cups browser interface:-


If CUPS does not see your printer then you need to use the Command line to create a basic printer that can be modified using the browser interface.

   Open a command line window in \cups\sbin and enter the following command for a network printer:-

   lpadmin -p YourPrinterName -E -v PrinterIP/Port or Queue Name     
          eg:-
      lpadmin -p RX585 -E -v socket://192.168.1.251/IP_192.168.1.251
                 or
      lpadmin -p RX585 -E -v lpd://192.168.1.251/lpt1

Hi

@Dave

RPM/YUM free zone  :-)

xf86sup.sys? - I guess it should have an entry in the config.sys file but it looks like the install did not add the line. I added it and rebooted.

Having realised that another part of the problem is a missing x11 server I installed hoblink x11.

I can now start gimp and xsane.

Sadly it seems it was all a waste of time as there does not seem to be any way to tell xsane which scanner to use; it seems to rely on discovering devices itself and, sadly, it fails.

Back to using scanimage - and having to "reboot" the Canon MG7550 after every scan  :-(


@Greggory

Thanks for your link http://os2notes.net/old/os2gimp2.html

The settings shown for hoblink/2 conflict with others I have seen but yours work  :-)

Applications / xsane,gimp,xfree86 and a *nix dummy
« on: February 20, 2015, 08:22:36 pm »
Hi All

I am trying to get xsane working on eCS2.1

I have installed xsane-0.992-OS2.zip plus the required support packages

 xfree86-4_5_0-runtime.wpi runtime package
 gimp-2_2_8-install.wpi, gimp-2_2_8-required-libs.wpi and gimp-2_0_7-help.wpi gimp packages
 gcc321m.zip
 libsane.dll

All the above are installed to drive K: which is set as UNIXROOT with gcc321m.dll and libsane.dll being placed in K:\usr\X11R6\lib

Installation seemed to go fine so I clicked on the gimp program icon to give it a try - there are no config.sys changes so a reboot is not necessary.

The gimp icon becomes hatched, nothing happens, the icon becomes unhatched - obviously something is not working...

I tried starting gimp from the command line. This involved opening a command window in drive K:\ and running K:\x11env.cmd followed by CD'ding to \usr\bin and entering gimp-2.2.exe

This resulted in the following messages hopefully explaining what went wrong:-


[K:\usr\bin]gimp-2.2.exe

(gimp-2.2.exe:96): Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by Xlib

(gimp-2.2.exe:96): Gdk-WARNING **: cannot set locale modifiers
GIMP could not initialise the graphical user interface.
Make sure a proper setup for your display environment exists.


[K:\usr\bin]



I guess something is not right in the x11env.cmd created during gimp install.
Any ideas on what needs changing will be appreciated:-


@ECHO OFF
SET X11ROOT=k:
SET BEGINLIBPATH=%X11ROOT%\usr\lib;%X11ROOT%\usr\X11R6\lib;
SET PATH=%X11ROOT%\usr\bin;%X11ROOT%\usr\X11R6\bin;%PATH%
SET MANPATH=%X11ROOT%\usr\man;%X11ROOT%\usr\X11R6\man;%MANPATH%
SET LOGNAME=%USER%
SET DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
SET G_FILENAME_ENCODING=CP850
IF $%1$==$$ GOTO DONE
%1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
EXIT
:DONE


Looking at the above I guess the questions are:-

1] How do I set a locale supported by Xlib

2] How do I create a "proper setup for your display environment"



Any help gratefully received  :-)

Hi Leo

In my experience cups works fine with print servers - even wireless print servers - whatever makes you think it does not?

I have no experience of using laserjet.drv so no idea what the problem is.

If your laser printers are postscript capable maybe you could try switching to using the pscript.drv.

Hi Ian

Earlier releases of OpenOffice(pre 4) would not work with innotek_ft2lib_260_beta1.exe and required the 2.40 release. I seem to recall that innotek_ft2lib_260_beta1.exe caused problems with Desktop icons as well - some of the eCS desktop background images containing multiple images at different resolutions could not be displayed.

Other than that innotek_ft2lib_260_beta1.exe worked fine here for a while.

I'm not sure if AOO4 requires the Innotek font engine at all but if it does it will be the 2.40 release.

Hi Erich

Open the Properties notebook for the program that you want to use to open eg firefox-24.8.1.en-us.os2.beta_3-wpi.wpi (that would be either Warpin or WPIView I guess) and on the Association page enter details that you want supported eg for the above *.*.*.*.*.*.WPI

Hi Mick Head

I think to test psprint.drv I would:-

1] Follow the steps in the psprint readme file in order to add the printer PPD file to the psprint.drv

2] Create a new OS/2 printer object, name the printer, select to install a new driver, enter the path to the psprint.drv file and click Refresh, select the printer from the displayed list.

3] Open the Properties of the new OS/2 printer and setup output port and Default job properties.

4] Try to print the document that fails to print with the other printer.


If the above fails with the same error I think I would then contact the author of psprint.drv, Alex Taylor, and ask  if there was any chance he could look into the problem.


Regards

Pete

Hi Mick Head

I suspect the problem is in this line of your log:-

    Error: /undefined in SavedState2

I was seeing a similar problem causing cups2 to fail to print jobs passed from my OS/2 printer.

It seems the postscript driver that I was using - ecups.drv - was the cause of the problem and switching to using the psprint.drv  - http://www.altsan.org/os2/printing/index.html#psprint - resolved that problem.
I can only suggest you give it a try and see if it helps.


Regards

Pete
