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

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,

Setup & Installation / Dos and WinOS2
« on: July 08, 2022, 02:38:14 am »
Greetings,

I have just discovered that both dos and winos2 prompts do not work, in fact loading either window or full screen hangs my laptop. I do not recall this issue when I installed arca on this laptop before but it was awhile ago.  I looked on arca web site and seemed they had directions to fix similar issues so I did try those, autoexec.bat and the config.sys change but problem persists.  Any ideas?

Setup & Installation / Back to ARCA
« on: July 04, 2022, 10:01:57 pm »
Greetings All,

I am giving Arca another go on my thinkpad 430s and there are a couple things I know I figured out before but cant seem to remember how to today.  One my touch pad works as expected but cannot use it to scroll? Was this ever working or was I imagining that?  Also there is a way to drill down into folders without opening a new window, I just dont recall how to do that... I did get it to work with my 1080 laptop screen that I installed so thats awesome!

Glad to be back, Hope everyone is well

Regards,

Rick

Applications / SSH
« on: February 24, 2021, 06:56:12 pm »
Greetings,

I am trying it again to get ssh working.. Ive given up on sshd running on arca its just not working well.  But I would like to ssh from arca to any number of computers on my network.  I can do this it seems without too much problem just minor visual stuff with TERM.  My problem is I cannot get ssh-agent to work at all, its there I just get a weird error when trying to start it...

unix_listener: cannot bind to path C:\\var\\temp/ssh-FPcXYw7bbYMq/agent.60: Too
many open files in system

I have scoured the internet for this error and while I could find people with the same error all their suggestive fixes are for linux ie 'eval' ssh-agent .. which will not work on arca... I need to get this working as none of my servers allow password authentication and while I can include the key in my ssh command I would like to be able to skip that with ssh-agent.

All help appreciate, hope you are all well.

Rick
