Hello Mentore

So two solutions come to mind: open up a niche (not ours) with specific interest, or try to push again for the kernel (at least) source.


This had been always interesting for me:
1) The Open up a niche, even that I have tried to think about this it gets hard.
2) Pushing for an open kernel. There are dreams of repalcing only our kernel and leave the rest (CPI-PM-SOM-WPS) thinking it's running over the OS/2 kernel. I know it may be hard, the most known kernel today is Linux, but I'm tempted to see other kernels (since we are multikernel guys), like Zircon or the Haiku OS kernel. But it required deep knowledge of both kernels and hard work to try to connect CPI and $DRIVERS to a different kernel. I want to brainstorm about this on a different thread.

Regards

Hello.
As long as we can't fix the memory issues (4GB border), everything else is more or less useless. And I doubt we ever get this one fixed.

I guess that just as USB 3 or UEFI was a blocker to run OS/2, I guess this is our new blocker. Not a blocker to run OS/2 on hardware, but to have modern software compiled on it.

Hello
Sadly I think I can not do much here. The script/plugin that showed the "new" icon the forum widget in the main page it's gone. It is not supported anymore and died with Joomla 3. I made a PHP script (with a lot of cursing :) ) that shows the latest forum posts to replace that script/plugin. But let me try the weekend, since I remember that SMForum had something to let you know if a post is "new", but I will have to test it.

It's sad to read that. This function was very practical and made it easier to consult ongoing discussions.

I think I made the "New" icon work (with a lot more cursing :) ). Check it out.

Regards

General Discussion / Brainstorm: What is Next with OS/2 ?

Hello

Yes, again, the typical thread for brainstorming about the future of OS/2 and ArcaOS.

On Dec of 2023 I sent the attached wish list document to Lewis based on past discussions.

Today ArcaOS is running on UEFI and finally has some language localizations like German, Spanish, and Russian.

It seems to me that the top requirements from the perspective of the OS are still:
1) Modern web browser
2) Wifi Driver.

What do you think it is missing or what had changed from 2023's wishlist to today?

On the other hand, what else can it be interesting to do as a community?

Regards

    Hi Again GG
  • Its "look" is less "compact" - unless I missed some well hidden user options to customize the Joomla interface
I'm not sure what I can do here. Was it more "condensed/crused" to the center before? This template has two settings, fixed size and flexible (which means will take all the screen resolution). Maybe the flexible size way is not something that we will like. I also think it changes according the screen resolution and font size on each computer.
[/list]

Comparing the two pictures with the same resolution. Do you mean the line (and/or space) that is between each news, on each widget(square) showing the news?
Is that what you mean with "compact" ?

Regards

Hello GG

Thanks for the feedback.

  • There's no way to check if a followed forum discussion has been updated at a glance (No "new" flag) - unless there's a way to do it by any other means

Web applications / Re: OS2World URL Redirect

Hello

Neil, today I talked to the webmaster and we have redirected the URLs.
Now if someones goes os2world.com  or www.os2world.com should get to the same site.

Let me know if there is something wrong.

Since OS2WORD changed its code, I found an issue I think is under FIREFOX and DOOBLE while this doesn't exist under FIREFOX windows
(or a missing code to correctly identify browser width size, environment dependant "CSS" ?)

Sorry Remy, as I explained before, I needed the update the Joomla script on OS2World because I was falling behind with the version and PHP forces to go further or get your server hacked.

The only behaviour that I can explain is:
- Dooble for Windows (narrow) - If the window is narrow it re-accommodate the size layout.
- Dooble for WIndows - if the window is stretch enough it looks as it should. FINE.
- Dooble for OS/2 - Qt5 - No matter how narrow or stretch is the window, the layout looks re-accomodated.
- Otter for Windows - No matter how narrow or stretch is the window, the layout looks re-accomodated.
- Otter for OS/2 - Qt5 - No matter how narrow or stretch is the window, the layout looks re-accomodated.

Just in case I will ask in the Otter forum about why the Windows version is not displaying OS2World fine.

Hello

Just a question here about cdda2wav.exe, (it is compiled on 2007-08-24), it references to libc05.dll (which is included). Do you think it will be desirable to recompile it to reference the libc that is included in ArcaOS ?

cdda2wav is included in cdrtools, right?
- https://sourceforge.net/projects/cdrtools/

Hi Dave

Some came with source code and some don't. Where should I put the source code in the FHS?
Should the source code be unziped there, or just like a zip file?

Regards

If you have the source code (e.g. as archive file) i think that you can put it under :
(something I do when using @unixroot)
all .zip;.tar;.wpi   to   /usr/src/<name of package>

Thanks. I will try later if "%{_usrsrc}" works for us.
