Hello

FYI: It is the first time I saw this "OS/2 2.0 Worldwide announcement clock". It is expensive for what it is, but first time I see this.

Hello

Just in case to let you know. I had been slowly checking other OS/2 files repository and compare if the software is available on hobbes. There had been some little interesting things that was missing on hobbes and I had been uploading them.
For example, these days I'm checking the OS/2 file from: http://cd.textfiles.com/swextrav4/swextrav4-4/

If you find some OS/2 Freeware/Shareware/Patch/Open software that hobbes is missing, let me know.

Hello

I have ArcaOS 5.1.0 with UEFI mode and installed it with Panorama, on a "Lenovo Miix 510-12ISK".

I'm not able to enable DPMS on Doodle Screen saver to automatically shut down the monitor. All the options are grey without the possibility to enable it. It was the first time I installed ArcaOS (or any OS/2) on this machine, so I have no reference to know if it ever worked.

Is it something I may be missing, because I remember that Panorama was able to work with Dooble Screen Saver to shut down the monitor, if I don't recall correctly.

Regards

Hi Dave.

If you compiled AcpiTree, please share it here. I want to give it a try.

Hi David
Now that I have used it for awhile, I can actually say it boots faster, shuts down faster, usb connection is faster, and the system is more stable.  Win-OS2 sessions and DOS window sessions still hang system.

Which hardware are you using? did you install ArcaOS 5.1 with UEFI enabled or normal CSM/BIOS configuration?

Regards

normal CSM/BIOS configuration.  This is an older Thinkpas.

Hi David

I see, in that case there should be no improvement on DOS-WinOS2 Sessions.
You may already know about it, but I have to ask, did you used the viop patch/workarround in the past?

In my old Thinkpad L420 (non UEFI) machine it worked for me to fix the DOS session, but it is possible that my issue was different.

Hello

This year I'm also asking for donations to video stream Warpstock 2023.
Please help me out with this goal.

I need also to test that the button the main page is working, if someone can start with a little donation and let me know if it worked, I will appreciate it.
Check the donate button at the right side of the OS2World main page.

Now it was the turn for FreedomGTP (https://chat.freedomgpt.com):

Hello do you know about OS/2?

Yes, I am familiar with OS/2. It was a proprietary operating system that was developed by IBM in the 1980s as an alternative to Microsoft Windows. However, it never gained significant market share and was eventually replaced by other operating systems such as Windows NT and Linux.

Is the source code of OS/2 available online?

The source code for OS/2 is not freely available online, but there are still some communities dedicated to its development and maintenance. You can find more information on their websites or forums if you're interested in learning more about it.

Which OS/2 community do you know?

One active community for OS/2 is called "The OSBC", which stands for Open Source Business Computing. They focus on developing open-source software based on the original OS/2 codebase, including utilities, applications, and even a web browser. Another community worth mentioning is "eComStation", which is a commercial version of OS/2 that includes additional features and support.

this is wrong I havent see that the OSBC is trying to make an open source clone of OS/2.

While they don't have the same goal as creating an exact clone of OS/2, The OSBC does work on developing open-source software based on the original OS/2 codebase. This includes utilities, applications, and even a web browser. Their efforts aim to keep the legacy of OS/2 alive while also promoting open-source development.

Do you have a link? or reference to that?

Sure! Here's a link to their website where you can learn more about their projects and goals: https://www.osbc.org/. Additionally, here's a quote from one of their members regarding their intentions with OS/2: "Our main goal is to preserve the heritage of OS/2 by keeping the original codebase alive and well, while at the same time pushing forward with new technologies and ideas."

Spoiler Note: https://www.osbc.org/ Sent me to the Ocean State Baptist Church. This AI only provides you limited "credits" and it sucked bad for this questions. So fun  ;D

Hello

I had been in contact with Man42 for a little more than a year and he had helped me to improve a little bit the OS2World wiki with some old OS/2 releases that I never knew it existed.

I'm also looking forward for some old OS/2 software pictures like boxes, diskettes, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I will move on to try a different touch screen laptop.

But I would like to know, is there a way in ArcaOS to generate some report that will list the touch screen and pen devices like the report that was tool from Linux Debian? (that report that Wim shared from the internet). LSUSB does not show it in this case also.

I'm still trying to find ACPITREE, but I don't know if that is the right tool for this, or where to get it.

Hi Neil

I haven't connected a printer to ArcaOS in ages, so this is just a wild guess.
If you open the printers as a "Detail View", does the list order of the printer windows complies with the printing order?

Hello Wim

I tried on my config.sys
Quote
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\XSMOUSE.SYS
 DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\AMOUSE.SYS STYPE=XSMOUSE$
 ...
 DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:056A:508C:#### /N:$LENOVO$ /S /V
When I run "usbwrite $LENOVO$" I get:
Quote
SYS0031: A device attached to the system is not functioning.
Just in case I'm attaching my testlog report.

FYI: Since this machine is dual boot, I had checked that on Windows 10 the touch screen and pen support works.

Regards
