Hardware / Re: Resolution Assistance
« on: May 31, 2023, 05:46:44 pm »
Not sure if someone else stated this above but, whenever you've such problem then -
- power off the system completely (main switch, or disconnect power cord for 20-30 seconds)
- disconnect all video cables but the one you wanna use/test (in your case disconnect VGA cable from motherboard/system, only connect DP)
- power up monitor at the same time as the system or before (maybe this is even more important if you use some adapter in between so better test with monitor powered up before. But adapters are a bad choice anyway. Bad luck if you're really need one :-( )
- power up system and recheck what resolutions Panorama can see and handle (testlog generic)

Reason - today's BIOSes scans monitors on all interfaces at boot up and selects some interface/resolution it thinks is working and necessary. Sometimes BIOS switches off DP completely when it finds a monitor on another connector, sometimes it honors the selection in BIOS settings (or not). YMMV.

Programming / Re: Source Code Text Editor Suggestions
« on: May 28, 2023, 09:20:53 am »
Simpler to setup and use is MED. Mind I'm using VisualSlickEdit for all my programming tasks. Including project symbol find, rebuild with simple keystroke, jump to compile error with ctrl up/down (IIRC). But for simple editing tasks I use MED (config.sys, ... or simple one ore two C source file projects). MED is my default even when I'm searching in toolkit header files for some things (DataSeeker) and with one click MED opens at the line where the symbol searched was found.

Conclusion - big and complex source project clearly VS. For all other tasks MED.

Btw. VS does not start when Virtualbox is already running. You've to start it before.

this would allow it to run without gl16os2.dll having to be in libpath.
I don't think I've it in the libpath. But I will check next week.

Maybe you're bitten by the same bug I mentioned in the ToDo.txt file more than 12 years ago ;-) (20100810 After deleting files focus changes to another not lcmd window).

I remember I added some debug messages back then when I tried to track this down. But couldn't solve this. But as this is a nuisance for me too chances are high that I finally will fix it.

Applications / LarsenCommander - new test version
« on: May 19, 2023, 12:07:08 pm »
Since a while I'm working on some problems in LarsenCommander again. There is still one problem I want to resolve before I make an official release. But as I'm preparing for holiday vacation I think it may be good to spread the current version to the public.

Main difference to older releases is - I reenabled big buffers for file copy operations. The advantage is much faster copy speed especially with big files. Copy speed is still not as fast as the copy command from a 4os2 command prompt but the difference is not as dramatic than before. I had to rework and extend the original dynamic buffer adaption code for this. It seems current copy speed is the maximum you can get when copying with an PM application.

The max. copy buffer size in old releases was determined by a simple algorithm and based on the setting in Options - Various - File Copy/move tab. I had to limit the buffer in some 1.7. release to 60k cause there was a subtle bug in ndfs DAV plugin which leads to some zero bytes in large files copied with the help of big buffers. The side effect was a limited copy speed at about 30MBytes/s I just discovered a few months ago. There's an old ticket about the ndpdav bug which is resolved in newer releases I think. So I think it's save to reenable big buffers again. For convenience I include my fixed ndpdav.dll in this lcmd*zip. But you probably don't need it. Current ndfs 3.1.6 also has changed in a way that such subtle plugin bugs shouldn't show up anymore. But be warned if you use old ndfs/ndpdav versions.

Lcmd also uses high memory for the copy buffer now. So if you watch your memory consumption (f.i. with above512.cmd or theseus) you may find a bit less memory usage from the scarce lower shared mem. Unfortunately this does not fix another long standing problem - copying big trees of directories sometimes leads to eat up a lot (sometimes all) lower shared memory. This may eventually bring your system down until you kill lcmd. Finally I can reproduce this problem but unfortunately I don't have a fix for this right now. If you ever run into this bug in the past, sorry there's no fix in this release for that.

In this archive I've also included the current available translations. When you want to use lcmd with another language or make your own translation look into the locale directory.

I've also checked in all current sources at the official home of LarsenCommander - https://sourceforge.net/projects/lcmd/

Have fun :-)

I'm thinking about two different ways -
- let AVM Fritzbox make the VPN and find a client which can connect to it (from OS/2, Linux & Win)
- configure AVM Fritzbox the way that my OS/2 server is in the trusted zone (let all internet traffic go to my server) and try to make the VPN with Injoys Firewall settings

The former should be simple, though I've no clue how to do it for OS/2 clients. See the picture below what AVM says how it works for iOS and Android (neither one is of any interest for me). The later may be even more challenging but maybe even more secure (security by obscurity - no one out there tries to break into an OS/2 server these days :-)).

I've no clue about IPSec or ... Hints appreciated.

Anyone running Injoys Firewall VPN feature?

Or how to you connect securely into your home LAN from outside world?

It seems to be possible to configure an AVM Fritzbox for this task. Is there a simple how to to get this working? I mean connection from the outside with a notebook running OS/2 (or Linux or Win) to my internal OS/2 server and ...

MAC address change - some network drivers allow to set it (MPTS [NAPS] - Parameters - ). Needs a reboot. If you mean changing on the fly - I don't know.

Hardware / Re: OS/2 Warp 3 Graphics Card Selection Input?
« on: April 20, 2023, 09:31:37 am »
IIRC it was a trident ISA card I used with Warp 3. It was able to produce 1024 x 768 with the trident drivers.  Which was astonishing good at that time.

Programming / Re: Building a Dooble RPM
« on: April 19, 2023, 04:05:17 pm »
Hi Dave,

Why not just build a WPI, which is much more useful?

I have RPM on my computer because it came with the install but have never used it.
Please don't go offtopic. If you've a question unrelated to the topic, open a new thread. Thanks. Btw. your question is answered more then once.

Tried to click on the circle at the right to restart the download? It helped here in the past for numerous time. Though I've no clue why sometimes the download is canceled immediately.

I don't know why that would cause RSync to use more time to transfer the files.
I don't know the details either but Steven explained it a while ago. Since then I switched off EA support for all my samba shares. I seem to remember there's also a switch with our rsync to disable this EA processing.

I can start the daemon 'git daemon --reuseaddr --base-path=/git_repositories/ /git_rerepositories/', I can sort of connect from the other machine with 'git clone git@server:/git_repositories/test' but get
Code: [Select]
Cloning into 'test'...
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

My goal is to have git repositories on my server running OS/2. At first I started with ssh which seems to be the usual way to connect to a git server. But can't get this running. See the other thread - https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,3175.0.html

Now I tried with git daemon which is in netlabs.exp. But can't get this to work either. Seems I've to setup a linux server instead...

Applications / Re: ssh - sshd
« on: February 26, 2023, 04:51:58 pm »
I now can start sshd. F.i. from bash -
Code: [Select]
{0}[p:\etc\ssh] bash
P:\USR\BIN\bash.exe-5.0# /usr/sbin/sshd -D
Sort of connection does work but can't do anything like can be done on linux hosts.

I had to create keys with -
Code: [Select]
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key

Thanks. I will make more test the next days/weeks.

Key creation works. Although I'm not sure were is the best place to keep them. %etc% (M:\mptn\etc or P:\etc - boot drive or unixroot) or %home% (E:\home\default) in my case. Have to play with this. But it clearly shows my decision to keep boot drive, rpm/%unixroot% and data separated on different drives may introduce additional problems linux guys do not have.
