Utilities / touch?
« on: November 26, 2023, 10:11:17 pm »
Greetings,

I am wondering if I can (from CLI) create a file?  In linux I would just say touch newfile, then I could nano and edit it.  On Arca I use file commander but I do not see a way to create a file (I could have missed it), touch does exist Ive noticed in Arca but does not act in how I would expect.  So basically I want to be able to create a new file in a directory using the CLI.

Regards,

Rick

Networking / arcmapper
« on: November 11, 2023, 05:49:18 pm »
Greetings,

Prior to 5.1 I was able to auto connect to my NAS on reboot, with 5.1 I have to add credentials and it says they are only valid until shutdown so when I reboot it fails to connect.  Is there something different with 5.1?  How to I keep the credentials after reboot so it connects reboot.

Regards,

Rick

Applications / Sharing drives

Greetings,

I have used arcamapper to connect to my NAS no issues there.  How can I share say a tmp dir on the arca box to say windows 11 so I can just drop stuff in there...

Setup & Installation / jfs error?
« on: August 14, 2023, 03:51:07 pm »
Hi All,

I am trying to a new install in order to test more on some software.  I could not get arca to see the msata in the NUC so I bought a new 64gb msata and it identified it on the install process right away.  It all appeared normal and after phaze 1 and the reboot where you are meant to select boot from HD I get the error message in this picture.

any thoughts on how this happens, what I can do to repair?  Also what do I have to do to a new or used HD to get it to show up in the installer?  I knew what to do once but have forgotten.  I could boot gparted and setup before running arcaos installer...

Applications / Dos

Hi,

I am working with a software author to get his BBS software working with arca, currently we are having trouble getting arca to look data files specifically the user database for the BBS.. Here are some questions he asked me but I thought I could get some better answers here...

I was able to get a machine to work, reinstalled sio and vmode, everything works except for reading the user file.  I deleted the files, then recreated my user account.  No issues, can re-login but cannot read the files.  Cannot edit the user.  Is there some strange thing or parameter to run?

How true of a DOS system is it?  Is there another option?

Any thoughts?

Applications / Docker

Greetings,

As this would solve a lot of problems I am having recreating the 90's os/2 setup I had, I am sure that I cannot get docker to run on Arcaos?  It was fun thinking I could anyhow.

Setup & Installation / Trap on boot
« on: February 04, 2023, 02:53:01 pm »
Greetings,

I was messing around with my install and now traps when booting, anyhow I know why it traps and can fix it, I just forget the key sequence to get to the config.sys.. I know its when the little os2 box pops up, is it f1? to get to command line?

Thank you

Setup & Installation / New install - Intel NUC5
« on: December 28, 2022, 08:17:03 pm »
Greetings,

I recently upgraded one my mini pcs so I thought I would install arca on the old one.  Its a INTEL NUC5, with a 256gb msata drive.  When I get to the harddrive part of the setup it doesnt see the drive at all.  I remember this happening before on a different install I just do not recall the fix.  I have booted with gparted and wiped all partitions, I have tried MBR and GPT without creating partition, boot arca still no drive showing.  I tried again with gparted created a unformatted partition still no luck.  Anyone have an idea how to set the drive up so that arca installer will see it?  Will it see all 256gb or do I need to partition it smaller, formatted ?

Hardware / pcmcia
« on: December 19, 2022, 03:46:55 pm »
Greetings,

I have arca running flawlessly on an old dell latitude d610 with one exception.  The pcmcia slot appears to not be loaded, I thought it was the old card I had that was bad, but arca reports no pcmcia slot.  How do I rectify this? Would be great to use usb card or a little faster network...

Hope everyone is well

Programming / Watcom C
« on: August 25, 2022, 02:46:28 pm »
Greetings,

A few of us have been trying (very much amateur's) to compile this source code on arca for a BBS program.  I believe it is watcom C?
Anyone have some advice, direction? Or willing to give it a try if you have the experience? Ill attach the zip of the source..

Hope everyone is well

« on: August 10, 2022, 03:08:34 pm »
Greetings,

I have given up on SSH (decently) working on arca, kind of a shame but such is life at time.. :-) I am wondering in node.js is a possibility has anyone tried it?

Hardware / HP Printer Officejet 9015e
« on: July 30, 2022, 09:49:44 pm »
Greetings,

Getting further along in getting my Arca setup going... I am trying to get it to print.  I have the above mentioned HP printer on my network, Arca sees it, which was good but when I print to it, it prints one garbled line across the top of the page and that is it... Anyone point me where to trouble shoot?

Hope everyone is well and staying safe

Applications / Path
« on: July 23, 2022, 03:29:44 am »
Greetings All,

I hope everyone is well out there!  I cannot remember, can I start an application say like file commander from a 4os2 prompt from any dir by say typing "fc"?  I have that dir on my path statement in config.sys, I just do not recall if that is possible under os2 or arca?

Regards,

Rick
