Applications / Re: Lotus SmartSuite 4 on WinOS/2

Vcompat seems to work with other apps the others do not work with, though I have not tried Win 3.1 Smartsuite.

Does anyone else have an issue when Ctrl clicking the desktop icon that barely a small highlight shows up and now list of processes to kill?

Code: [Select]
if exist H:\jfs.part goto next
FORMAT.COM H: /FS:JFS <REPLY_Y.txt
sleep 1
touch h:\jfs.part
:next
And create reply_y.txt besides startup.cmd in the root of your boot volume containing Y
This will preserve the JFS volume across reboots if you've set the ram disk to preserve its contents and your hardware allows it.
I added:
if not exist q:\file.file chkdsk q: /f:2
before the format, that way I could preserve the JFS volume in case of a crash and only takes only a second if it is a fresh boot.

Shouldn't be needed if you have /AUTOCHECK:* on your JFS.IFS line in config.sys, same with HPFS.
You can test, close everything and without the chkdsk command in startup folder, initiate a trap dump and see if the volume gets chkdsked during boot, even faster as it usually just does logredo. If too quick, see if the volume is clean.
Couple of computers back I had one that immediately rebooted if you turned it off and back on. The ram disk would survive a couple of seconds of no power, a second more and chkdsk would run and usually the contents were still there, not that I trusted it at that point. This was HPFS back then.
I kept having it not be available due to needing a chkdsk.

Programming / Re: Qt6 Development
« on: May 19, 2024, 07:38:15 pm »
Hi Paul,

  It HAS been awhile... hope all is well! I am running your last QT6 version of Dooble (could you build the latest?) with this new build of QT6.2 and it seems to work as well as the last. Looking forward to the webengine part too. I'll test the examples in the next couple of days... thanks!

Regards,
When I try to run dooble, I get an error that QT6WIDGS cannot be found.  Did I get a bad unzip or did you use one from an earlier release?

Networking / Re: VNC to Ubuntu LTS

I don't know what desktop Ubuntu LTS uses.

Interestingly, /bin/startx already has unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
Interesting... I had not remembered adding it there myself but could not remember where all I had but having recalled I had put it somewhere else than just the ~/.vnc/startup I had done a grep searching it out and finding it in /bin/startx figured I must have.  Can't say for sure now if I did or did not.

Neil,
For the black screen, you may need to add:
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
to ~/.vnc/xstartup

I just recalled, I actually placed it in 3 files as it did not work for me in the xstartup (for some it does)
I also had created a ~/.xsession  wherein I added it as the first line and also in in /bin/startx
as I recall, here I needed it for both vnc and rdp (I understand the need for it may depend on the desktop in use... I use mate).

I also installed xrdp and am using freerdp to connect.  I've found it has been more stable.  VNC keeps just closing out, I am not getting any popuplog.os2 entries nor any exceptq files so I don't know if it is the VNC client crashing, a problem with the VNC server or if maybe the network is blipping and rdp is able to keep going while VNC does not.
I've found that RDP keeps reconnecting occasionally, which looks like the network drops out momentarily and RDP reconnects without my really noticing it but VNC is not as tolerant to these drop outs.

I got it working using tigervncserver on Linux Mint.  Installed stunnel rather than changing the binding.

Which VNC server did you go with?  I will need to bring my OpenSuse laptop home and test as I have VNC working on it.  On my Linux Mint here acts like it is only binding to localhost and I haven't yet figured out how to either use ssh to connect first nor how to change the binding.

Which VNC are you using?  The old PMVNC or the newer one?

I have just downloaded it so I haven't had a chance to use it to say anything about it other than to thank you for your work on it.
