Virtualization / Re: VirtualBox: Can't copy files to a shared folder under ArcaOS guest

« on: Today at 02:52:57 am »

Hello

We have two VirtualBox Addons, the official ones (7.1.0 ) from the VBox project and VBoxAddtions-os2-x86-5.0.51.r217 from Valery (Netlabs).

I like Valery's version because it has WPS integration (yes, with a lot of warning when you copy a file that seems to come from the WPS). Valery's version has the issues that David and Neil are pointing. Valery's created "vboxfs.ifs" (not to be confused with vboxsf.ifs"

I was hoping to create a ticket on the VirtualBox site requesting the WPS integration and try to take Valery's version for inspiration.
I'm not sure if Valery's the full source code is here: https://trac.netlabs.org/vbox/browser#tags/5.0.51/src

Hello

1) Netlabs TRAC: I noticed that Netlabs TRAC script was updated to 1.6 (latest) and looks very good and works fine for the quick testing I made.
Check it out at: http://trac.netlabs.org/

2) EDM/2 is still broken. It is loading some pages without the style and main page does not work, but I hope it get fixed soon.
- http://www.edm2.com/index.php/GpiCloseFigure

3) The Netlabs wiki is also partially broken. I'm not sure if the script is getting updated too.
- http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/Main_Page

4) Old Project Pages Web Script The project pages (xxxx.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml) are broken. But I don't mind if those got archived/removed/sunset, because a long time ago I copied that pages information to the Netlabs wiki or to the project TRAC pages. I have no problem here, let me know any comments.
- ex: http://warpin.netlabs.org/en/site/index.xml

I wish good luck to Adrian who is migrating the server, and I guess also updating the scripts.

Just in case I have this page with the Netlab's Services - http://wiki.netlabs.org/index.php/List_of_Netlabs_Services

Programming / Re: Classic, Regina, Object and Open Object Rexx

Hello Jan-Erik

I would like to get your attention to push for an update to the wps integration stuff and enable it for ooRexx on OS/2, without reinventing the wheel from scratch.
The problem is that IBM have a cross licensing agreement with another party (Amiga)?!

I don't have knowledge on this area, so I'm just asking, what kind of WPS and ooRexx integration do you expect or need?
Is it something like "IBM's Object Rexx has this WPS integration, I need the same one for ooRexx, because it is currently missing on that open open source project"?

Is there too much WPS integration on IBM's Object Rexx? Will it be a long project to do that?

Regards

Hello Nathana.

The OS2World.com Wiki appears to have a screenshot of a non-US English (possibly UK) version of Warp 3 on the main page for the article on Warp 3 (right side).  The fidelity of that particular screenshot isn't great, but you can at least make out that it's in English but omits the US Government GSA ADP Contract language below the copyright statement.

Thanks for the observation there. I just have that image there for quick reference, it will be great to put some in a better resolution.
About the German boot image you linked, by any chance, do you know to which German Warp 3 PN it belongs?

Regards

Hello Conrad

If you can share the pictures of your boxes it will be great. Those editions I don't have it on the wiki, so they are welcome.
Please, if you can list the items on each box with the part numbers, or have it clearly on the picture it will be great too.

Regards

Hello

EDM/2 is still down, but I noticed that now it is blank instead of showing the database error.

I hope Adrian (netlabs) gets this soon.

Hello Nathan

Welcome back.

I'm also sorry, I currently give access to the forum manually after checking for suspicious spam accounts. I got behind this last week.

Thanks to all for the support. Let's have a great Warpstock this weekend.

- I think USB drivers used to work, but I have to check it out again.

I just Set my USB Mic and USB printer to the VM and it shows in ArcaOS lsusb

[C:\]lsusb
Bus 000 Device 001: ID 046d:0ab7 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 000 Device 002: ID 04b8:1135 Seiko Epson Corp.

I guess it is passing by.

Hello

Are you able to use multiple CPU's? with the 5.0.x additions? How about USB devices?

- I don't use Multiple CPUs with VirtualBox, just one. In the past it was unstable for me, but I haven't tried it lately.
- I think USB drivers used to work, but I have to check it out again. I have an USB mic that I used on the VM, but I don't remember if it is recognized as USB or SoundBlaster input in ArcaOS. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqUc0VLqok)

I use all the 5.0.x Addons package, if I mix them I get problems with the VBoxService.exe executable. And also Valerius says on the instructions to put "RUN=c:\os2additions\VBoxService.exe" on the config.sys.

I hope that Valerius can try to update his Addons with the latest VirtualBox code someday.

Hello

Here it is working, host Win 10, guest ArcaOS 5.1. Virtualbox 7.1.0 (Recently installed)

But I'm using Valery's Guest Addons 5.0.x, since they provide me WPS support for shared folders with the guest. Is this integration already available on the official addons? I haven't checked those in a while.

Sorry, no Linux experience here.

t could perhaps be a way for Warpstock to bring in the remote folks (and get them up to parity with being there?), and a way for others and I to officially support the Warpstock conferences, if we can't actually get there in person in a given year ...

Thanks a good suggestion. We already talked about on the Warpstock board in the past but I will insist on this idea on the next meeting.
