Applications / Re: Set default view for folders from command line
« on: May 08, 2015, 04:46:36 pm »
You can easily use the 'Open as...' cascade menu item to set a folder's default view: Keep the Sh key pressed while clicking with MB1 on a view item.

BTW: That feature is apparently not well documented in XWP's hlp and inf files. But I've found it here: xfld001.hlp -> Version Information -> XWorkplace 1.0.9.

o  Shift+MB1 on an item in the 'Open as' menu now sets the default view for files and folders. Bug 4 [rw]

General Discussion / Re: Xeu/Mensys download
« on: May 02, 2015, 12:09:51 pm »
My download page on shop.mensys.nl lists all eComStation packages. I don't know if shop.xeu.com just links to the mensys download sources.

I've just searched for 'ecomstation' on the following sites:

Have you created an account on xeu.com and are you logged in with cookies activated? If yes, I would use the 'Contact' link I've found somewhere on xeu.com to send a message.

Simplest is to load it into the system editor and save it (untested with the eCS editor) or run unix2dos on it.
Or use EPM:
  • Load the file
  • Press Ctrl+I or Esc to open the command dialog
  • Type save /o and press Ok to save it with CRLF line endings.

General Discussion / Re: Haiku OS and its Niche.
« on: April 09, 2015, 06:43:32 pm »
Andi, I confirm everything you wrote.

Think about why only very few people even test the os4 kernel. This is an example of a piece of software which is not that bad at all. In fact it works remarkable well on a lot a machines. But beside the legal concerns which I don't want to discuss here it has a few limitations. This few limitations (documentation, trace support, incompatible with ACPI) prevents usage and testing by a wider audience.
I have noted down that the ACPI incompatility was fixed. The info came from a posting in this forum. Am I wrong?

(I haven't tested that myself, because my new machine still lacks stable network connectivity.)

Internet / Re: Firefox Developer Edition 24.8.1b4
« on: March 17, 2015, 12:44:04 am »
YUM is supposed to keep a database of what it installs, but it looks like that can be messed up if something replaces the file, and it doesn't get recorded.
Sure. All package distribution facilities rely on the assumption that they are the only ones that both edit the database and the files.

Imagine a tool that uninstalls a package controlled by the WarpIN database without letting WarpIN know about it. That would create the same mess. It's not RPM- or Yum-specific.

Applications / Re: yum check problems

These problems are common issues with yum/rpm in both Linux and OS/2 from what I have experienced. 
I have used:
yum shell
and in there issue:
remove gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00
remove gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00
install gettext-legacy
run
exit
Interesting. I still doubt that it had worked in my case, because even the RPM subsystem commands failed.

I didn't bother to keep my previous unixroot dirs on disk, so I can't test that anymore. But thanks, anyways.

gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00.i386 is a duplicate with gettext-legacy-0.18.3.2-1.oc00.i386
rpm-python-4.8.1-23.oc00.i386 is a duplicate with rpm-python-4.8.1-23.oc00.i386
That's apparently not easy to fix because gettext-legacy is used by yum and causes the 'is protected' error. I tried to uninstall temporarily yum with rpm -e --justdb, but that also disables the python script package-cleanup from yum-utils.

I didn't go futher with the "rpm -qa" command that Andreas suggestion, since I didn't understand it how to make the call. (or what it does).
It lists the duplicate packages, but different to 'python \@unixroot\usr\bin\package-cleanup --dupes', it doesn't list them doubled. When I tried that first, I was surprised that it works in a CMD window.

In the meantime I reinstalled all packages:

1. I've saved their names with 'yum list installed'.

2. I made sure that I have a newer yum bootstrap package (at least 1.3, better the newest)
http://trac.netlabs.org/rpm/wiki#Releases

3. unlock -r %unixroot%\usr\lib\*.dll

4. I've renamed \usr, \etc and \var.

5. I've installed the bootstrap .wpi file.

6. I started the bootstrap console from the program object and executed 'yum install yum'.

7. I opened another CMD window and installed at first the required packages for Mozilla, then the rest until 'yum list packages' lists almost the same one as before.

The duplicated database entries are gone, but the checksum error message remains. At least 'yum check' reports no errors anymore.

Utilities / Re: Multiple "." breaking association
« on: March 14, 2015, 08:43:19 pm »
Many files on Hobbes have names with multiple dots, like firefox-24.8.1.en-us.os2.beta_3-wpi.wpi. Has anyone made a utility to get the WPS to see these files as .wpi, .zip, etc.?
The WPS fix for filenames with multiple dots was added to eCS in 2009. eCS 2.0 is the first version that contains the fix.

After that I had two duplicate database entries. I executed the commands below which I found in the Internet. Note that I had to install the yum-utils package. It fixes one duplicate. Unfortunately the duplicate entry of gettext-legacy remains. That is the .rpm file which provides kintl.dll.

Code: [Select]
rpm --rebuilddb

yum reinstall <pkg>

yum install yum-utils
python \@unixroot\usr\sbin\yum-complete-transaction
python \@unixroot\usr\bin\package-cleanup --dupes
python \@unixroot\usr\bin\package-cleanup --cleandupes --skip-broken

rpm -e --justdb <package-version>
rpm -qa --queryformat="%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n" | sort | uniq -c | grep -v " 1 " | cut -c 9- | cut -d" " -f1

yum clean all

Some examples with output. I used EPM's command shell for easier output catching:

in order to get English messages which you can post in bug reports, just a hint:

In the environment that calls yum (usually a command line window) execute:

    set lang=en_US

before calling yum.

Mensys had told that they took over the right from Serenity (or was it from IBM?) to sell OS/2. I always thought that Serenity was dead since then, but both companies made a mystery out of it.

My opinion about such an announcement about "the remaining assets" is that this contains too few info to be of any value for us users. This kind usually starts speculation.

You can bind multiple IP addresses to one network adapter. The advantage of two adapters might be increased performance and maybe easier handling with the OS' configuration dialogs.
