Thanks a lot Silvan. Without your picture I overlooked the obvious.

Can someone please remind me where I find the ignore user setting? My KI / KNI / AI / NAI / useless non-related nonsense detector get triggered regularly.

Networking / Re: Updated Samba Client
« on: January 16, 2024, 09:07:56 am »
Isn't it enough to disable EAs for Samba shares? Or what is the option in smb.conf good for? I've it in the global section. I ever thought it is for the server, right?.

AFAIR the netdrive smbfs dialog has an option to enable/disable EAs too.

Applications / Re: NewView - control over NEW window placement?
« on: January 14, 2024, 05:32:14 pm »
For the ones who wanna position a window on a defined place other the one the OS has stored - maybe you wanna check out "PGMCNTRL V1.07 - C.Langanke 1996-2004".

F.i. I've a cli window (ssh to one of my linux boxes) which I wanna always like to open on the same place and I use for that an object like the picture below. The Parameters line is -
Code: [Select]
/c mode 120,65 & pgmcntrl /po:2100,25,820,950 & p:\4os2\4os2.exe @p:\4os2\4os2.ini "p:\4os2\4start.cmd & p:\usr\local\bin\old\ssh -l git nas-ab"

Did your install run through fully? A few months ago I tried to install over an existing installation but it failed. Even from the original CD it does not install all the things needed for the help system. AFAIR the installer crashed whatever I tried.

would open exactly on top of the first one, which is obviously not desirable.
Which I think is not that bad. I think this is the usual way window positioning worked the last centuries. I mean why should a program decide by itself where it is positioned and sized? It's the task of the OS to keep window positions (and sizes) stored and restore them. Usually at the place it was when closed the last time. When a user explicitly wanted to have it positioned on some special other place, you can always use pgmctrl or like or implement cli options or.... But hey - I wanna my windows at the place I put it. That's one reason I stay with OS/2. I don't wanna an OS or a program which decides this by itself. YMMV, but in this case you have other OS options anyway.

It's a big bug in latest versions of Win that they forgot about this OS (window manager) task. Although I understand their design decisions (which do not apply to our OS).

I don't wanna say anything against your positive view on ArcaOS. But of course there are often similar tools for similar task with other OSes. F.i.

In Windows, they have to setup external monitors to do what Xpager does.
I use VirtuaWin (v4.5) on Win to replicate xpagers behavior and even set up the same keys for switching between the pages. There are other tools which do the same. But long time ago when I looked for it I choosed this one.

I also have DesktopOK and WindowManager (DeskSoft) on every of my Win installations together with a lot of other utilities to make this OS somewhat user frindly (for me).

Remember, on OS/2 (ArcaOS) we also need different third party utilities (like XWP and a lot of others) to make the system behave the way we like it.

Programming / Re: Where to find Toolkit2.0 - SOM compiler .sc files....
« on: December 27, 2023, 12:38:12 pm »
Thanks Lars. I'll try to integrate that into the build system of pmprintf (polymake and...). But maybe will take a while until I worked out some other problem.

Programming / Where to find Toolkit2.0 - SOM compiler .sc files....
« on: December 23, 2023, 04:58:35 pm »
I've toolkit 2.1 and probably all newer ones. Even Watcom10.6 includes some .sc files. But the project I'm working on seems to need Toolkit v2.0.

I've no clue about SOM and classes and.... but there is one .csc file in my project which constantly bothers me. There should be a way to convert this .sc file to the newer .idl form. ctoi.cmd which is included in os2tk45. But it complains about a file in toolkit21
Code: [Select]
{0}[e:\_work\pmprintf\trunk] ctoi WPSTEST.CSC
WPSTEST.CSC:
"wpobject.sc", line 440: error: Override method "somInitClass" not in base class.
"wpobject.sc", line 444: error: Override method "somNew" not in base class.
"wpobject.sc", line 448: error: Override method "somRenew" not in base class.
Number of errors: 3
error in converting WPSTEST.CSC

So I think I need toolkit20. Where can I find it? Any other ideas? Maybe I try to disable all these SOM things in pmprintf cause I guess nobody will ever use pmprintf with som classes anymore anyhow.

At the moment I'm experiencing that if you BIOS does not support that resolution I can not make a 4K monitor
I would it express in other words - the BIOS offers Panorama only resolutions it thinks the 'monitor in conjunction with the current connection' (DP, DVI, HDMI, ...) is capable. Then Panorama tries to select the predefined BIOS mode (resolution) which matches best OR tries to patch on of the BIOS modes to a better resolution.

I'm not sure if I got it correct, but to my understanding Panorama is sometimes capable to patch (overwrites) one of the modes in some BIOSes. That's the reason why I see a slight chance that there could be a difference when you use traditional BIOS mode instead UEFI. Currently you're running the 'UEFI BIOS emulation' driver not the real BIOS. Of course I could be totally wrong. Maybe when you open a ticket David will explain to you the real truth.

 is the most relevant part. It shows that you are using the UEFI emulation. No clue if this has additional limitations. But it does not show how you have attached your monitor. If this is a notebook there's nothing you can do about of course. But if it's a desktop system then you really need DP. And don't attach another cable during boot in parallel, only DP nothing else. If no DP is available then try HDMI. Remember only one cable attached during boot.

Edit - I see you're talking about a notebook. For such you can only play with BIOS options. No clue if it helps. Especially in UEFI mode. But you can try to select in BIOS something like 'External Display only'. For ArcaOS it's not possible to drive both displays (internal and external) at the same time. You need the right display at boot up (and only that one enabled). At least I can't get it to work on my notebooks. But Neil is much more experienced in this for sure.

If there is any additional trick you may suggest for 3840x2160 I will try it out.You can search the Mantis ticket about that from me a few years ago. Basically before playing games with custom resolution settings (you shouldn't do that) check what your hardware offers. I think it's listed in a testlog but there's also some util IIRC.

It depends on -
- connection type to your monitor (DisplayPort prefered is capable of all relevant resolutions, DVI can not do more than 1920 x 1440, HDMI varies a lot between different versions, analog RGB can't do very much probably no more than 1920x1200 or something like that)
- your monitors capabilities (read out and offered to the driver via EDID interface)
- your graphic card
- and most important the BIOS in your graphic card.

Sometimes it needs additional work from David to get it to work on your system though.

3840x2160 is running here since some time via PCIe ATI graphic card and the help of David (who included the fixes in 1.18 I think).

Applications / Re: XWP v1.0.16
« on: December 19, 2023, 05:53:42 pm »
I for myself prefer the sharp crispy font display LCDs can provide. If I wanna have these washed out fonts then I would attach these crappy old blurred tube monitors we had to work with decades ago. Or don't clean my glasses for a while of put them off completely :-).

Of course these is only valid for our carefully selected bitmap fonts used for the WPS. For surfing the net with all these different fonts in different sizes aliasing is necessary. But not for WPS and window menus. YMMV.

Thanks Steven. I've a program object which calls 'ssh -l git nas-ab'. Luckily it's so easy on our platform to change the environment for some objects (think 'Environment' tab is an XWP object extension) I tried with term=vt100 and it sorta works.

Colored dir is working now, thanks.

But nano opens a small window (different to the older ssh) and produces a LIBC PANIC!!. Log is appended if anyone is curious. Have to check different things ....

Btw. TAB does not work either. Which is really a pain on a *nix system. TAB is working with the old OpenSSH though.

I connect to some Linux box via SSH. After figuring out all the keys stuff it works. But now I've updated to 'OpenSSH_8.4p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1s  1 Nov 2022' and see some problems/differences. As I'm not familiar with all these SSH and Linux stuff I want to ask here before opening a ticket.

Old version 'OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009' worked fine. I've colored dir (dir, ls -la, ls -ls, ...) but with new version 'OpenSSH_8.4p1, OpenSSL 1.1.1s  1 Nov 2022' the colors are gone. I know I've setup these colors in some conf file on the Linux box (I think) but don't remember where anymore. But there must be a difference between our two ssh versions. Cause I can connect with the old version at the same time as with the new ssh.exe version. Old has colored dir, new not. I'm using the same user of course.

I also noticed that with the old version 'nano' works while with the new version nano gives an 'Error opening terminal: os2.'.

Anyone knows what this 'terminal: os2. means? Or how to change? Or how to find out why the old version works better than the new one?

Additional info - the old ssh version was installed here in /usr/local/bin. No clue from where I got it but most probably not from the netlabs repository as it would have been in /usr/bin then.
