Applications / Password
« on: January 16, 2021, 09:59:37 am »
Greetings,

Ok so I feel dumb asking this but I have literally searched everywhere for the answer.. during my new install of arca I set user name but never got asked for a password for said user.. I only want it so I can ssh into that user. I can ssh into machine as root with password of root (also would like to know how to change that) but would rather ssh in as my user.  I’ve tried every command line sequence to set a password that I can think of..  been at this for many hours unfortunately any help appreciated I am sure I have overlooked it somewhere..

Setup & Installation / Arca media options
« on: January 12, 2021, 08:53:02 am »
Greetings,

I want to install arca on an old Fuji laptop that I think would be a good little machine for it.  Here’s the rub, it only has a cd not dvd drive, and the bios will not see usb 1.1 ports at boot.. do I have any options that you might suggest? Can I make multiple CD’s somehow or the install media? Is there a NetBoot cd option and install from network? Maybe make a small partition on HD a make shift boot image?

Any suggestions appreciated

Regards,

Rick

Greetings,
 
Has anyone successfully got ray gwinns virtual drivers to work on arca? I’ve installed it no issues but cannot figure out how to get bbs to listen for incoming telnet.. vmodem shows comm ports no option to set say port 23 for telnet?

Anyone try and have luck with this?

Setup & Installation / OS2BOOT can not be found?
« on: July 15, 2020, 05:29:15 am »
Greetings,

So I went to reinstall Arca on my esxi server and decided not to use the dvd. I wanted to just use the .iso and it made it all the way through past selecting what to install naming the machine etc. then it hung and gave a OS2BOOT cannot be found and won’t pass that, even if I ctl alt del. I know it runs, perfectly in fact on esxi, just won’t install by iso or usb

Any ideas?

Applications / ArcaOS panic
« on: May 27, 2020, 10:53:18 pm »
Greetings,

One of things I’m doing with my Arca install is putting my BBS from the 90’s back online.  However bbs access is now done by telnet rather than dialup. So I needed a way to get my bbs to listen for incoming telnet requests.  So I installed SIO and vmodem and never quite got it working, but the problem I have now is Arca won’t boot! Is there a way to get past this panick or am I hosed and looking at reinstall.? Please see pic

Setup & Installation / Install from USB
« on: May 11, 2020, 06:34:32 am »
Greetings All,

I tried remaking the Arca usb install stick again for a install (my dvd got scratched) I followed the instructions in making it, boot menu sees it, the boot starts I get past the logo screen then it halts and asks me to reboot as the iso can’t be found, I’ve verified it’s there named how it is looking for it etc, anyone else have trouble with this or is something known that I am missing?

As always thank you for any guidance

Regards,

Rick

Applications / Dos window
« on: May 01, 2020, 09:15:21 am »
Greetings,

Still plugging along with my Arca setup on thinkpad t430s, and it mostly works pretty fair.. I am trying to setup a fidonet point mailer called d’bridge mailer which runs dos, os2 etc. when I try to install in opens a dos window which just hangs if I switch to a full screen it doesn’t run. So I guess I have two questions.

1 . Has anyone got this particular program to run on Arca?

2. Can I fix this dos window problem, or can I access the file from the windows side? When I loaded windows side I couldn’t seem to find the file so I could not see if it would run from there?

I am sure the Dos window situation has been discussed previously so I apologize I just couldn’t find the discussion..

Setup & Installation / Winos2 setup?
« on: April 15, 2020, 03:11:07 am »
So I installed arcsOS while exploring the system I have come across winos2 setup so naturally I clicked on it.  It reports no network installed. So I pick a network then it wants install disks? Hmm what am I missing here?
