Ohh. I just noticed that the OpenJDK 6 icon created was also associated to .jar files, so that is the way to create the desktop icon.

Hi Jan

Let me know if I understand how it works.
You run JRUN.CMD, it will find your java runtime, put an icon on the desktop, find your .jar file and create a icon on the desktop.

I tried it with "jdiskreport-1.3.1_os2.jar" and it created an icon on my desktop. The icon worked to run the program.

When I download a new .jar file, what should I run to make it scan for .jar file again, for it to create the icon on the desktop?

Here I tried my best to make the page for the MSI_B550-A_Pro. Please let me know if the drivers are alright.

Hi

I'm reading the latest pci.ids and I can not find the unknown devices. It seems that the mainboard is very new.

Thanks Ivan

Let me know if the M.2 SSD/SATA will work once you get it.
If you want, you can post the PCI.exe report so I can create the wiki page for that mainboard.

Hi

Sorry to jump almost out of the subject here. On old computers, I found it very useful to replace the hard drive of it with a "SD to IDE" card. Since it is an old computer and sometimes it will not support HDD bigger than 8GB, or 32GB, replacing the HDD with a SD card is very practical to clone the OS to the SD from another computer.  Also the SD card is a lot faster than the old HDD.

Of course it depends on how people want to use the old computer, some people like to have the original hardware and the same 90's experience of the old HDD.

Big thanks Paul for getting the UniAud drivers to the latest linux kernel level. From may 2020 to today you have generated 65 compilations of the driver. Awesome.

Doug:
FYI: I have a hardware report on "AMD FCH Azalia Controller  1002:780D" that was not working with UniAud 2.2.6 on the Thinkpad E555. Is it working now with uniaud32-linux-5.10.5-20210108.zip?

Looking through your debugoutput.txt file it looks as though sane/scanimage does not have support for the epson scanner as both epsonds and espon2 sections show a list of pci ids which those backends support and 0x04b8/0x1135 is not listed.

You could try adding the pci ids to the epsonds and epson2 .conf files # USB section eg epson2.conf:-

# epson2.conf

Thanks Pete. I just did that with epson2.conf following your advice.

What should I do now to test the scanner?

I'm attaching the new "scanimage -v 1>output.pnm 2>debugoutput.txt"

Hi

https://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-5.10.5-20210108.zip

I tried "uniaud32-linux-5.10.5-20210108.zip" on the Thinkpad L420.
- No Trap. Sound is working. Master volume control working. PMUnimix 0.82 master volume working.

Congratulation on reaching this Linux kernel level release.

Hi

I'm back with the USB scanner testing.

- ArcaOS 5.0.6 - 14.202
- AN USB Driver 12.07
- USBRESMG.SYS 12.07
- USBCALLS.DLL -  2020-08-15 -12.07 - (only one on the system - no usbcalls from rpm installed).
- libusb1 - 1.0.21-2
- libusb1-legacy-0 1.0.16-2
- Sane from Netlabs RPM - sane-backends - 1.0.28-2
 
- Epson L4150 multifunction printer (04b8:1135)

Config.SYS
Code: [Select]
set sane_config_dir=x:\etc\sane.d
set SANE_DEBUG_epsonds=255
set SANE_DEBUG_SANEI_USB=255
set SANE_DEBUG_DLL=255

LSUSB
Code: [Select]
[X:\]lsusb
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 046d:c077 Logitech, Inc. M105 Optical Mouse
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04b8:1135 Seiko Epson Corp.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 147e:1002 Upek Biometric Touchchip/Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05c8:0317 Cheng Uei Precision Industry Co., Ltd (Foxlink)

Do any new drives appear in the Drives folder when you attach a scanner?
No

OS2DASD
I had this trap on OS2DASD when I run "ScanImage -L"
I REM OS2ASPI.DMD (I think I have no need for it on the Thinkpad L420), rebooted and for the moment the trap is gone.

Testing
I did the "ScanImage -L >out.txt" and I got the "No scanner were identified".
Code: [Select]
No scanners were identified. If you were expecting something different,
check that the scanner is plugged in, turned on and detected by the
sane-find-scanner tool (if appropriate). Please read the documentation
which came with this software (README, FAQ, manpages).

Here it is the "scanimage -v 1>output.pnm 2>debugoutput.txt" results.

This is how I stand now, what else do you suggest to try to make the "04b8:1135" scanner to work?

Regards

But Apple was having big business problems. Microsoft bailed them out, and Apple's board got Steve Jobs back. Jobs killed MacOS 9 and replaced it with NeXt, renaming it Mac OS X. The clones were not included in these plans. OS/2 was out. IBM didn't want it, Apple didn't want it.

I remember those days from college.  The Apple iMac became the best selling PC of 1998. In my college we used Mac OS 7, 8 and 9 for some graphics design and even office courses. I personally think that MacOS 8 had a nice GUI, but it was not as stable as OS/2 Warp 3 or 4. MacOS 7,8,9 has the same internals and I remember the icon of the "bomb", that was like our "trap", showing from time to time while working on that computers.

Mac OS X (2001) was a different thing based on FreeBSD ("independent implementation" they call it) and I think with some time and patches MacOS X became more stable than MacOS 9 was.  Steve Jobs (and his team) now had a new line of iMacs selling good to the youngsters, a new OS (based in "unix") and market presence. He did save Apple at that time. In 2007 with the iPhone he took Apple where it is today.  On 1997 Apple was a niche dog for graphic design that investor thought  the only path for it was "going down", now it is monopoly

Very nice memories.

Hi

Just wondering over the discussion, my opinion was that IBM at that time (mid 90's) was too big, and had also too many products. Microsoft was lean and focused exclusively on Windows and Office...and MS used the "art of war" to sell software  ;D

While IBM had  a good position on the business market selling technology to other companies, when the PC showed up, it started to became a consumer good. Bill Gate's dream of "one PC per home" indeed was right at that time, the PC was going to became a home device instead of a corporate tool.  IBM's PC market suddenly became a customer electronic circus, while they internal structure was focused on selling to corporate customer.

I think that OS/2 was a casualty of that. The owner of OS/2 didn't understand the "customer electronic circus market" while Microsoft took a dive into it. When Lou Gerstner arrived as IBM CEO (1993) he focused on corporate solutions. When IBM sold the PC unit to Lenovo (May 2005), so the can focus on that "circus", OS/2 was cancelled a long time.

Regards.

Hi

Ivan, I don't have the need to scan documents on OS/2, I'm just testing the hardware that I have around. Your suggestion is complete valid, but this is more like an experiment with the hardware that I have.

I will keep testing on the weekend and see what else can happen with these hardware I have.

Applications / Re: ArcaOS Yum updates question
« on: January 08, 2021, 02:58:36 pm »
Hi David

For ArcaOS updates you need to download the ISO and run the update procedure by booting the ISO file (DVD or USB Flash). For what I know no internal components of the OS or AN drivers are available to be updated from yum or ANPM.

Separate components like ACPI drivers, USB, etc are available for download on the Arca Noae webpage after you logon.
