It shows something like 'can not find /E$/home/...' where it should look at E:/home/....
Now I've solved this. No clue what happens but I repaired by -
  • - open klusrmgr (samba user manager does not work here. Can't login and don't know why
  • - selecting proper user and edit
  • - although there was the path of home directory set to 'E:\home\... I changed it to ~\.... saved which does not work either
  • - then changed back to e:\home\...
And now 'ssh -v' magically looks at 'e:/Home/username/.ssh/id_r...'.

No clue if drive letter should be lowercase or / instead \ is needed or ....

Obviously someone (abr) has transfered this system 2005 to another system. Can't abr be asked anymore?

As this seems to be a professional production system, can you hire one of the remaining OS/2 - ArcaOS specialists to assist you at your place? Not offending but it seems you (your company) does not have that much know how with OS/2 (any more). Here are a lot of people who can install ArcaOS (or OS/2) on a lot of different machines. Even new ones. But it depends on if you're willing to invest in ArcaOS and an knowledgeable contractor. Or are you on your own without any budget.

Would be interesting where this machine is located. Cause of German comments I guess DACH region. I know some OS/2 guys in Germany and Switzerland which are more than capable to deal with every OS/2 task. And I am from Austria. So finding an expert who is willing to support directly maybe possible. I offer this cause I think all information was already given here to you. But it seems not in a form which you can use to solve the problem.

Both can handle Postscript (and PCL) so work with psdriver (basic functions, no borderless printing or similar special things).

Setup & Installation / Re: Cannot update python

Is there any "force" mode to force the update ?
I only can suggest to try 'yum reinstall python3 python2' or maybe 'yum reinstall python3 python2.7' or 'yum reinstall python2'. But I don't know if reinstall works here. I think I've overcome such situation but can remember anything else then 'reinstall'. Maybe yum shell - remove python3 - run - exit. Don't know if it works. Removing python2 does not work for sure.

'yum remove python3' reboot and then 'yum reinstall python3 python2' together maybe worth to try too. Maybe your problem is only cause you're using 2.7 instead 2?

Good luck.

Currently can't say anything about codepage (UTF-8) but the new git version from KO Myung-Hun fixes another 'git clone https...' issue I saw a few days ago.

But now I stumbled over a ssh problem which I think causing this git fail on my local (NAS) repositories. ssh -v ... now shows that it can not find the home directories. It shows something like 'can not find /E$/home/...' where it should look at E:/home/....

I think I saw this before and that's the reason why I settled on git2.0.0 and older ssh on another system. But newest from netlabs.exp (and .rel) do not work here on a fresh ArcaOS5.1DE system.

One thing I've already repaired is /noexistant/home. For this we have to set a home directory for user root in klusmgr. Samba user manager does not work either on this fresh ArcaOS5.1DE so had to use klusmgr for that :-(. You also had to set a shell for root there. I set /usr/bin/sh. Think this is good but don't know. Any thoughts

Thanks.

Dave, for line endings I don't wanna convert I usually set in .git/config autocrlf=false. There is also =input or others but I did not experiment a lot with that. Maybe your solution with .gitattributes is better. Have to think about.

git - now I remember I had a very hard time with the git version on this system. I could not connect to my ssh repositories if I remember correctly. I had to downgrade to 2.0.x as the latest from netlabs gave me problems I cant overcome. Now I remember I wanted to solve this 'git version problem' with the new system I wanted to set up. Unfortunately I've strange problems with ArcaOS even during installation on that new system. So I have to do more and more work on Linux boxes instead new ArcaOS unfortunately.

KO Myung-Hun, what is fixed in your version instead the netlabs ones? Is it only the newer code compiled to OS/2 or do you remember special OS/2 fixes compared to other versions?

I want to synchronize documents with a Linux system via git. I've some file names with German 'Umlaute' (äüöß...). When I check out the repository on Linux there I get something like 'invalid encoding' with the file managers there. Of course I can convert the file names to UTF-8 (convmv -f cp850 -t utf-8 *) but I fear I can't handle these files afterward on OS/2.

So how do deal with that? Other solutions then changing file names to not use 'special' characters outside ANSI code page?

(Edit: change subject)

Everything seems to be alright with the exception of the fact that the 'Bytes per second' window no longer shows the graphical throughput rate as the file copy progresses.

Good catch. I wonder why I've overlooked this. Needs investigation.

Setup & Installation / Re: How to mount OS/2 JFS/LVM volume on Linux?
« on: April 04, 2025, 02:51:34 pm »
Ok, thanks. Now I get further. I found one JFS partition/volume mounted at /media/a/e97c5ffe.......  But user 'a' can not cd into this directory. Only root. Maybe I can temporary change chmod for this dir. But for all the NTFS/FAT32 volumes there is some automatic 'mount with access rights for all users. See -

Also most of my JFS partitions can not be mounted. Bit hard to find which one is which OS/2 volume cause currently I've more than 20 volumes here.
Also for the NTFS and FAT volumes the labels are found and mounted with these. Not some long number....

Setup & Installation / How to mount OS/2 JFS/LVM volume on Linux?
« on: April 04, 2025, 10:07:58 am »
I wanna access my OS/2 volumes from Linux/Debian12. But can't 'click' and automount like in any GUI file manager. For my FAT32 and NTFS partitions I see the label in Linux and clicking on them opens the volume/filesystem. But not with my JFS volums. Any help?

I've already installed jfsutil and libguestfs-jfs.

As mentioned above, everyone will be confused now.

https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/dev/proglang/cpp/OpenWatcom_C_2-0-1.exe mentioned as Program Contact: David Azarewicz

Unfortunately we do not see who uploaded this. But as Steven mentioned above he and Gregg needed a repo we can only guess if David used these or any other source. I fear David uses his own different repo. But I don't know. We have to ask the unknown uploader or David.

http://openwatcom.org/ftp/source/ow_portable_v2_test_build.zip seems to be a build by 'lys'. However is behind this nick he is hanging around at irc #watcom. I think lys cross-builds this from the 'official' perforce repo on his BSD machine. It seems to be not related to Jiris builds I think.

Lars, lys asked me to ask you to test the ow_portable_v2_test_build.zip build against the problem you know with the other watcom builds. No clue why he don't want to post here by himself or ask you directly.....

Programming / Re: [Classic REXX] Network Map
« on: March 26, 2025, 08:33:16 pm »
My limited understanding of all of these is as following -
nslookup needs a DNS server for a useful reply. There's usually no DNS server on your home network so it will not work with most small private LANs. And the official DNS servers on the internet don't know anything about your private network members of course. At least they shouldn't.

If you wanna have a private DNS server in your network you've to setup one. But most of the time it's not worth the effort to make this for a private LAN. If you've a router which run's a DHCP server it might work as local DNS server too. But then it probably don't know very much about your devices with static IPs.

I'm puzzling what you're all talking about here. In my limited understanding you need to ping every address on your subnet if you wanna have a list of all your devices on your LAN (with IP support. There maybe devices on the LAN communication without IP protocol). Even then it may be possible that a devices do not respond to an ping request. And so you don't 'see' it either. Although I don't think much devices will really hide them self when called with a ping.

If all your devices uses dynamic IP addresses then look at the leases file of your DHCP server. It has the IP <-> MAC list in the dhcpd.leases file. And sometimes there's also a hostname there for the device. But that's not mandatory. Also in a LAN with static IPs or a mixed LAN (I think that is very common) you only get the subset of devices with dynamic IPs. So pinging every IP is IMHO the only way to get a (nearly) complete list of all devices.

If you wanna have a 'network map' of devices with SMB shares you've to use the samba tools to get one. And similar tools for NFS shares or ....?

I've also seen it many times that a lot of devices do not respond to pings on broadcast address. OS/2 boxes are the only ones which always answers. But most other computers do not. I think no even all of my SoHo printers do.

There's a utility which pings every address. LanScan? Of course it takes time to get a full list especially with a network bigger than /24 (f.i. /16 - netmask 255.255.0.0).

Has someone tested this build?
http://openwatcom.org/ftp/source/ow_portable_v2_test_build.zip

I think this is made of the perforce sources.

There are some bldlevel information when added to an .exe leads to strange things when the exe is loaded by OS/2. Although strictly correct regarding Stevens notes about bldlevel it's yet unknown why f.i. sometimes the menu is not loaded by OS/2. Or even worse some program refuses to start with some bldlevel information.

Summing up my experience with bldlevel infos I made with my projects, if the developer who extensively tests the program don't add a bldlevel info I wouldn't add it later. It may be dangerous and maybe more harm then help.
