General Discussion / Thunderbird e-mail client
« on: August 27, 2020, 09:04:38 pm »
Does anyone know how to access a GMAIL IMAP account with the last version of Mozilla Thunderbird ?

My gmail account is set up with Security -> Third-party apps with account access -> Mozilla Thunderbird Email has access to Gmail

Every time I try to access a "New sign-in on Unknown OS" appears in "Recent security activity" and nothing that is on the IMAP server is downloaded.

I have 2-Step Verification enabled but Thunderbird works in Windows and Linux without issues. Is possible make it work?

Hi

I don't know much about the process of trademarking and I'm just posting this as a curious note.

During some years I had been following the OS/2 trademarks on the "http://tmsearch.uspto.gov" search tool.
"OS/2" was the last one active, and at the end was "cancelled" on "April 24, 2020".

Now all that OS/2 trademarks are "DEAD" on that database.



I'm not sure what it means.

Regards

Hi,

Trademarks are rights granted by countries. USPTO show rights and status valids only in United States. it's necessary and important to do a search for International Trademark Registration (Madri Protocol) to know the real international status of a trademark. See
https://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/

Example of International Database Search in https://www3.wipo.int/branddb/en/


Just to complement the subject, althought the trademark is a territorial right, as I said, valid in several countries in case of Madri Protocol, there is still the question of the notoriety of a trademark (Coca Cola, Goodyear, etc. are examples of notoriety). When a trademark owner prove the notoriety of his trademark, even when this mark expires (year fees were not paid on time), the notoriety status does not allow anyone to register this trademark. The ex-owner no longer has it's exclusive use but no one will be able to register it either to have exclusive use. I don't know OS/2 IBM Corporation trademark application details, but probably already has recognized notoriety.

Applications / Re: Windows 10 and ArcaOS 5.x Dual Boot
« on: August 26, 2020, 09:17:19 pm »
Hi

I had managed to get a dual boot system between Windows 10 and ArcaOS 5.x with AirBoot as boot manager. I followed this tutorial which is working very good. (Credit to Richard Dunkle). I also know the premise that you can not acomplish a dual boot on a "GUID Partition Table" HDD, so Windows 10 must on installed on MBR partition table.

But I want to try to understand and document more about the troubleshooting. My issue is that once you have dual boot some changes you made with LVM will break Windows 10 boot and some changes you do on Windows 10 may break ArcaOS Boot. And I had been a hard time trying to recover the dual boot state on the machine. Sometimes I need to resintall Win10 or ArcaOS.

I don't know if someone has more experience with it, and know what to do recover Windows 10 boot manager (or whatever it has), like boot from the USB Flash drive and running xyz commands (Diskpart? bcdedit? bootrec?). Also from the other side, what does Windows 10 does to ArcaOS that breaks it boots and if there is way to fix it (without reinstall).

Any tips are welcome.

Regards

An advice! I have yet installed ArcaOS and Windows 10 dual boot in more than one machine. Basically backing-up W10 partition with Seagate DiscWizard (light version of Acronis True Image, free for Seagate HDs owners and faster than DFSee), Partitioning HD for dual boot with ArcaOS lvm.exe from installation DVD and restoring W10 partition preserving MBR and track 0. Will be necessary adjustments in W10 partition with fixpbr and lvm DFSee comands and probably having to correct the boot.ini of W10. But after all, all works!

Now the advice! I have the bad idea to upgrade W10 to 2004 version.No problem I think. But I forget - I delete the restoring partition of W10. What happens - W10 2004 installation recreate the restore partition! I have to do all the process of dual boot again :(

Yes, the new player doesn't support digital transfer and the classic needs it set under the View menu.

Thanks Dave. Setting "Digital transfer" in the View menu of CD Player (Classic) works with this player.

For information only - If you like the Chris Wohlgemuth CD player (in place of Classic Player) connect a drive audio cable to analog audio output of your drive IDE or SCSI (SATA drives does not have it anymore) to analog audio input of your motherboard sound interface or similar input of your offboard sound card.

Hi Renee

I have zero experience with PCMCIA sound cards. I tried to find any reference to the Creative Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA Card and OS/2, to see if there were any drivers, but I haven't found anything yet. I'm not sure if there where any PCMCIA sound card available for OS/2 to see if those drivers will work by any luck. 

Is the one that you have the one that I attached here?

Regards

Hi Martin, that is the the card! "Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook"

I think you have a lot of reading to do. PCMCIA is an interface to plug in cards. You also need a driver for the plug in card. Not ot mention that PCMCIA doesn't work very well.

Quote
(based in Ricoh RL5C746)

I may be wrong, but this device is more likely to be an SD card reader, with nothing to do with PCMCIA.

Quote

Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) is a Cardbus controller for PCMCIA adapters. Lenovo Thinkpad T61 have PCMCIA and SD Card Reader side by side. I am not talking about the Card Reader.

Quote

That is normal, if you don't have the device driver installed for the device (the required driver may not exist). It can also be normal, if the device has more than one interface.

Quote

According http://www.os2ss.com/users/DrMartinus/nbdriver.htm , Ricoh RL5C476 chipset is supported by the Intel PCIC driver in Warp 4, so this driver was installed as I told from Notebook options of ArcaOS installation program. What I comment is the fact that PC Card Director not identifies the card as what really is

Quote

Again, I may be wrong, but Creative Audigy is a sound card, not a notebook. Perhaps you worded this poorly?

Quote

Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is the commercial name used by Creative for this card. I think you have a lot of reading about Creative Labs products.

If the source file you are playing has the stream/data encoded for the extra channels, this appears to work with Pauls new Uniaud builds and a Sound Blaster Live card. I assume here that it is the Uniaud driver that is decoding and positioning the streams for output via the various o/p's. Otherwise as Dave says, the OS/2 MM system is stereo only.

Sometime ago I have tested SB Live with Multitest and an earlier version of Uniaud. I remember not all channels of my 4.1 Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 was working. SB Live has many controls showed by Unimix. It's not easy to understand and try tests changing the values. I think new tests may be worth with the actual versions of uniaud32.sys from Paul!

More tests...

Aureal Vortex au8820

Now with Turtle Beach Montego based in Aureal Vortex 8820 ( first Montego soundboard). I have this board working in OS/2 Warp 4 with the driver Aureal_Vortex_AU8820_1-0.zip (more two necessary patches Aureal_Vortex_Patch.zip and Aureal_Vortex_AU8820x_Patch.zip, but working as expected)

I woud like to use this board with ArcaOS but not works with this driver. Really, this is one of OS/2 sound drivers not included in the list of available drivers in installation program of ArcaOS or eCS.

So, I decided to try Uniaud, as in my tests with linux live CD (Ubuntu 12.04-32bit-alsa 1.0.24 based) soundboard works ok.

Unfortunatelly, not good results...

Hi All,

Prompted by Lewis reporting a problem with no sound on a newish laptop, I built uniaud32.sys last night for the first time since December 2015.

After managing to patch the realtek driver to add some additional chipsets which got Lewis sound, I got interested again in updating Uniaud.

As some may recall, way back when, I was updating the uniaud32 core with the latest ALSA code.... I got as far as ALSA 1.0.24 (released January 2011), but could never get ALSA 1.0.25 (released early 2012) to work. After that, the code was incorporated into the linux kernel, and it all got too hard. Plus, at the time, we still had the hangs with hda audio and I started running linux as my main OS.

Anyhow, after helping Lewis last night, I added the OS/2 patches to the linux kernel 3.0 code and got it building. This represents an alsa-kernel approximately 6 months newer that what's in the last uniaud32 release.

I've tested this in virtualbox with the Intel HDA driver and it still makes sound. That's about the level of testing I've done. I can't be bothered walking upstairs to grab one of the Thinkpads and test on other hardware.

Anyway...... link is http://smedley.id.au/tmp/uniaud32-linux-3.0.zip

Feedback appreciated. If there's interest, I'll continue to try and update the code to hopefully fix upstream bugs and support newer hardware.

Cheers,

Paul

Multimedia / Audigy 2 ZS Notebook
« on: August 22, 2020, 06:17:43 pm »
Althougt my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 has PCMCIA interface (based in Ricoh RL5C746) supported by OS/2 (ArcaOS 5.0.5) with Intel PCIC driver, I never tried anything as I didn't have any PCMCIA card to test. Now I get a Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook and I decided to test.

With the card plugged, there are no errors advices and I can see that the system identifies a card plugged, but has no idea that is a sound card. The Plug-in application for pcmcia identifies as a "memory card ready to use" ?

As with linux (Ubuntu 12.10-32bit- Alsa 1.0.24 based -Live CD) this card works whithout problems, I am thinking if its about OS/2 pcmcia driver capabilities or Uniaud.

Hardware / Re: VM Parallel support inside OS/2
« on: August 21, 2020, 10:48:17 pm »
I plan to use VirtualBox, unless people suggest a reason to use another VM. The fax/printer can only communicate over Parallel and only using its proprietary drivers, so TWAIN or more general purpose FAX products for OS/2 will not work.

Parallels ports works well with VMWare but there is no VMWare for OS/2. VirtualBox has issues with parallel port support. It works for some users but not others. If you want to try there is a guide is in https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=54187
