Hi Martin

Well, I guess that is a bit more friendly than throwing them into the sea - but not as much fun  ;-)

Hi Mentore

Well I may agree with that, but... Isn't the sea already polluted enough? ;-) 8-)

Mentore


You should be more worried about them corrupting the sea life ...

I suspect that most politicians will biodegrade without problems and thus become useful - feeding the fishes  ;-)

Hi All

Had a few days break last week in St. Leonards-On-Sea (town adjoining Hastings - 1066 and all that) where I spent the formative years of my childhood during the early 1960's.

When my wife saw the sign in the attached image - which is in public view on the cliff top warning rail on Hastings West Hill next to the castle - she burst out laughing and said "Now I understand your political views".

Hi andreas

Have you tried running H:\sys\install\WARPIN.CMD (change H to match your system) - may need the /R parameter and your AN install media loaded.

Setup & Installation / Re: Cannot update cups
« on: May 24, 2025, 04:40:10 am »
Hi Lars

For future reference you can "kill" cupsd.exe to stop/close cups but you need to repeat the "kill" several (3?) times.

You can restart cups by doubleclicking the CUPS Daemon in the Startup folder.

Hi andreas

Maybe the Warpin Install routine checks the existing C:\sys\install\WARPIN\DATBAS_C.INI file to see if Warpin is already installed (replace C with correct drive letter for your system). If that is the case deleting the Warpin entries from that file using Ini Editor from INI Tools, or any other ini file editor, should allow Warpin to be reinstalled.

Hi Dariusz

Try reseating ram and any cards, disconnect and reconnect drive and power cables .

If that does not help: How old is PSU and when did you last open it and give it a clean?
Had a problem a few years ago where lengthy disk access caused system hangs. Took a few hours but traced that to a dying PSU - dust buildup had caused overheating. Replaced PSU and all worked fine.

Hi Dave

I see what you mean.
Looks like a slim case and probably not quite enough room to fit a water radiator to the case rear fan mounting.
Probably have problems with some of the taller air coolers as well.

Hi Dave

Maybe you want to check out water cooling as it seems to work cooler/quieter than cpu fan type coolers.

Hi All

@Remy: AMD cpus seems to work fine with their version of HyperThreading called Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) Enabled. Been running with SMT enabled on my AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 6 core cpu using 12 "processors" for years - since 2019 - without problems.

@Eugene: On my Desktop system (MSI B450 mainboard) the setting is in BIOS -> Settings -> Advanced -> AMD Overclocking -> Manual CPU Overclocking -> CPU Core Count Control -> SMT Control [Auto] or [Disable]

Hi Hansi

Have you asked Paul if he has a copy of the Perl 5.8.8 WPI package archived? - https://os2ports.smedley.id.au/?page_id=8

Hi Hansi

Looks like an older version of perl than is available via Arca Noae Package Manager (ANPM).

Looking at the Detail (long description) of ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi - https://hobbesarchive.com/?detail=/pub/os2/dev/proglang/perl/ExifTool_Perl_9-46.wpi - I see at the bottom
Requires:
Perl 5.8.8 (and above)...

I think I would try the current perl available via ANPM.

Hi Jochen

I'm not a "c" programmer but looking through pm2.inf (from os/2 toolkit) it looks like you can set the initial directory in the FILEDLG structure:-
   char pszFullFile[CCHMAXPATH] = "*.C";  /* File filter string */       
I would change the above to the following to see if it works
   char pszFullFile[CCHMAXPATH] = "Drive:\Path\*.*"; /*Set to required Drive:\Path */

eg:
  char pszFullFile[CCHMAXPATH] = "C:\Programs\*.*";

Hardware / Re: HP Deskjet 3635 need a workable driver

Hi klipp

I'm using a HP Envy Photo 6234 which works very well for printing with cups/hplip and scanning with sane/hpaio.

I think the message you get about no color manager could be a "red herring". I seem to recall a similar problem years ago with a Canon printer but cannot remember the exact fix, very possibly there was something missing in the cups setup at that time.

I suggest that you get a cups debug log and post it here and, hopefully, with a few people looking through it the problem may get spotted.


Did you try creating a printer following instructions in my previous post? - might be worth a try.


Regards

Pete
