Networking / Re: DNS resolution...strange problem?
« on: May 03, 2017, 03:04:23 am »
Hi Roberto,

I have not any problem now,
[E:\]host darcio.no-ip.org
darcio.no-ip.org =   216.8.135.50

[E:\]host www.skokconsulting.com
www.skokconsulting.com =   216.8.135.50

Thank you for the check, you are seeing what I'm expecting to see as well.

In fact, from an OS/2 CLI I get the following:

=== START ===

[G:\]tracerte www.skokconsulting.com
traceroute to www.skokconsulting.com (216.8.135.50), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

[G:\]tracerte darcio.no-ip.org
traceroute to darcio.no-ip.org (216.8.135.50), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

=== STOP ===

So I have a successfull resolution at tcp/ip level, but it is FF that appears to have this screwed up somehow...LOL!

Hi Ivan,

Why are you trying to connect two boxes that are both on the same network by going out to the web and back again?...

If all I was trying to do is to access the machines locally you would be absolutely correct. In my case I am hosting some apps on my internal network and need to be able to get to them from outside of my LAN.

The fact that I am accessing them from a local machine in this case should make no difference, meaning, the DNS resolution should still happen and even though it is the "long way" around the connection should still come back to my internal network through the router.

So I'm a little stumped by the behaviour I am seeing, granted, I am a stranger to the "belly" of the TCP/IP beast!

Alright...so I've got a dynamic IP address account at no-ip.org, specifically "darico.no-ip.org" which normally resolves to my OS/2 machine. The router has port 80 mapping to my local static IP address for my OS2 box. The update of the darcio.no-ip.org host is done by my router as soon as the ISP assigned IP address changes, so this is automated and works reliably.

Recently I upgraded my no-ip.org to an Enhanced account and registered a domain (skokconsulting.com), which now allows me to re-direct additional traffic to one of the machine on my home network. This is all controlled through the router's port mapping functionality.

Here is where things are going "strange"...LOL: in a firefox session on my OS2 box I can not resolve neither the darcio.no-ip.org nor www.skokconsulting.com to the real OS2 box IP address. Instead darcio.no-ip.org it gets mapped to a weird looking re-direct, that being: http://www.skokconsulting.com:81/. Of course there is nothing out there listening on port 81, so this never connects. The www.skokconsulting.com gets resolved to 98.143.71.19 IP address...again, no idea where this is coming from. I do not have any of these in my HOSTS file!

What I can not figure out is how this re-direct of "darcio.no-ip.org" to "http://www.skokconsulting.com:81/" happens? There is nothing on noip.org server that does this...in fact I can confirm that the correct re-direct is done when I access both of these hosts from one of my Wintel boxes, so this leads me to believe there is something specific to either the OS/2 tcp/ip config, or to firefox itself that is doing this...just no idea where to even look ???

Hi Everyone,

I use dSync/2 v.0.1.6z. You have to write a simple small script which tells the program what to do... You can restore with a script, but you can also take a file manager like FC/2 to restore one file or the complete drive...

Similar to what I have been doing for some years now.

What is different in my install is that I do a nightly live backup of all my OS/2 partitions (boot & data) to a mirror image, which simply are OS/2 volumes (drives) that physically exist on another HD. From a price/performance perspective it only made sense to do so given what storage costs are these days. This is very fast (well, it runs scheduled around 3am each night) and is super easy to get back the stuff that I need whenever I need - such as I had in a few cases where software update/install messed something up on my main partition.

I had to do a system recovery from this backup only once, but it worked. I simply relied on XCOPY and it was done from a bare-bones OS/2 maintenance partition. Had I kicked off dsync itself and reversed the source/target drive mappings I would have been able to restore everything exactly as things were, which I think would have allowed me to maintain the original date/time stamps. Never tested this part though and since XCOPY was a very clean & simply recovery method I relied on that instead.

Hi Pete,

...Are you using cups as the printer driver?...

Not at all...good ol' fashioned PS Printer, Brother HL5470dw using native PSCRIPT as well as the updated PSPRINT drivers...

1131
Hi Pete,

...Please find attached gvpm.ini for using gsview 5.0 with ghostscript 9.15; ps2write lines added.

Yes, gsview 5.0 prints fine using (non-rpm) cups...

Well, the only difference in mine and your gvpm.ini was the actual directory location where gvpm is installed. I updated accordingly (your file), tried it, nope, same result. So I suspect there is some other issue here that I have not discovered yet.

I have not had the time to sit-down and attempt the emx build...I was actually thinking this was different from a gcc build, only since the emx runtime seems to be required. Since then I reviewed the Developer guide and I think I understand this a bit better.

Applications / Re: Lucide 1.4.0 GA has a PDF plug-in problem...FYI!

Hi André,

...With FF running, opening a first PDF file by using the WPS association, Lucide returns that it can't find the module Lucide1.dll in 'x:\LUCIDE;%BEGINLIBPATH%' (SYS0087)...

I would say log a ticket at http://trac.netlabs.org/lucide/report, these guys were very quick to review my issue, troubleshoot and provide some feedback...

Which RPM ZIP file package contains (presumably) GBM.DLL?

Sorry, no idea there, I just pulled it using AN Package Mgr, the RPM pacakge name was: GBMDLL-1.76-1.oc00.i686.rpm

Hi Andi,

...Or is there anyone here who is interested in more than 20 licenses? Martin, maybe worth a poll - "How many licenses will you buy if AN works for you?" I've the strong feeling that all the people here will not even pay one month of development :( Hope I'm wrong though.

Good point...in fact having now purchased the AN Subscription license for 3 years in a row I am curious how many of us in this forum (for example) have chosen to support/fund the on-going development of OS/2 solutions in such a manner?

As I mentioned in another post, I always thought of this subscription fee as enabling some sort of continuous work being done...not sure though since as best as I can tell there has never been a publicly stated "balance sheet" of how many such individual contributors we have and how many "corporate" clients there are that fund the remaining parts.

Problem fixed you guys!

Working through the ticket I did un-install, clean the directory and re-install...still the same problem...however, once I installed the GBMDLL RPM package things finally "clicked" together!

Sooo...bottom line, it appears Lucide was either picking up the gbm.dll file from my \mmos2\dll directory, which appears to be a 2002 install and that was causing the problem, or inherently the fact that the RPM package was missing was causing some issue.

Since the 1st instance was OK I tend to lean towards the lack of lastest DBM.DLL from the RPM package being the root cause.

Hi Andy,

I am using Paul's GS 9.15 and gsview 5.0 and am able to print to both PScript and PCL printers using os2prn rather than pswrite or ps2write.

Would you mind posting your INI files? I have not gone back to attempt to compile the modified version of GSView...my development environment is primarily VAC, so I have to do an EMX setup first. I did also receive a response from Russell Lang who stated:

"...Note that pswrite is not hard coded into GSview.  It's just one of the devices for which that GSview pre-populates some configuration option.  You can add ps2write without recompiling GSview.  Just add it from the GUI, or edit the gvpm.ini file to add it (probably quicker)..."

I am hoping to continue that conversation with him. While the responses in this thread are very welcome, most of them have been a YEY/NAY type of a thing, no one has actually spelled out what specifically needs to be changed and where, meaning, the exact details of let's say gvpm.ini file, so far that means I am nowhere further to working through this.

Good news...solution was easy: move to poppler 0.52 release, which is the current & latest release.

The other two can be deleted, which is what I have done and it's working....BUUUTTTT....working in this case simply means I can open ONE (1) document only...attempting to open multiple PDFs produces a TRAP, or to be more precise, attempting to open another instance of Lucide produces a TRAP...so off I went, new ticket created, see => http://trac.netlabs.org/lucide/ticket/347

Internet / Re: FF38 running into problems with latest NSPR update...
« on: April 16, 2017, 02:33:15 am »
Hi Dave,

...Are you using a version from experimental?...

Nope, I decided to stay away from anything that was not an official release...so in the case of 4.12.0-3 I only grabbed it once it made it's way to REL status.

Ticket logged, see => trac.netlabs.org/ports/ticket/152 , thanks for the advice.

Internet / FF38 running into problems with latest NSPR update...
« on: April 16, 2017, 01:51:17 am »
I have been runing nspr RPM package 4.12.0-1 (oc00) i686 for some time now. Recently the 4.12.0-3 drop became available. I installed it, almost immediately started running into problems with FF.

The application would "freeze"...meaning, it would become non-responsive, the CPU monitor would show a complete drop of processing, almost like nothing was actually running...the ESC-CTRL hit would actually bring up Window List viewer where occasionally I managed to kill Firefox sessions, most often however I could not, nor could I do it in TOP, or CAD-popup. This was rarely an issue with FF in the past.

I went back to the 4.12.0-1 release, things are back to "normal"...so definitely something's off with the 4.12.0-3.

Question for everyone here, if I was to log a ticket for this...should this belong to FF, or the nspr (where ever that might actually be???)?

Thanks,
-Dariusz

Applications / Lucide 1.4.0 GA has a PDF plug-in problem...FYI!
« on: April 16, 2017, 01:43:30 am »
As with the previous 1.4.0 RC3 drop during the poppler RPM/YUM upgrade the previously functioning PDF plug-in got "killed". The workaround was to install both versions of poppler packages, those being:

poppler-legacy-63 (0.47.0-1)
poppler-legacy-65 (0.49.0-2)

This time around with the 1.4.0 GA drop even the above two are not sufficient, result is no ability for Lucide to display PDFs.

I logged a ticket, see => http://trac.netlabs.org/lucide/ticket/346
