General Discussion / Re: Strange hobbes.nmsu.edu behavior.
« on: February 14, 2020, 05:26:44 am »
At Warpstock 2019, we gave away 8 well preserved IBM PS/2 Computers. All were running. Hobbyists restoring old computer want OS/2. There are people who stockpile old hardware.

And then there are commercial operations who I cannot name still using PS/2 computers.

Keeping the legacy support files is Hobbes mission, or at least one of their missions

Applications / Re: pmmail 3.22 bug
« on: February 11, 2020, 04:42:48 am »

I read in an old post (https://www.os2world.com/forum/index.php/topic,2092.msg21891.html#msg21891) that Neil tried to compile PMMAil with GCC 4.9.2.
To Neil: have you some time to spend for reproduce the bug? ...maybe is possible to discover where is the problem with the source available?


It sounds like your bug is at least fixed in the next release. As has been pointed out, we were affected by the Arca Noae server crash, and we are awaiting their recovery. I cannot predict when we can release. At least I can build with GCC 4.9.2, but I anticipate upgrading to the new GCC release after our source code repository comes back on.

The next release should fix quite a few bugs, but may also cause some new ones. This is normal for software releases.

Did you install AOO-4170-GA-rpm.wpi on a system that has RPM? If so, just uninstall, and it should fix itself.

Setup & Installation / Re: Rsync Install setup instructions
« on: February 06, 2020, 01:05:40 am »
I use rsync, but not to a NAS, to another ArcaOS box. I eventually wrote some REXX programs to make it all work (list, backup, restore). The readme file with our rsync port is the best place to start.

[K:\] man rsync
SYS1041: The name man is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I guess it is quite a challenge to keep a computer running if you have a pet. I know many of the OS/2 computers in use in mass transit sit in urban subway stations. I thought those computers were pretty dirty, but subway stations are apparently many times cleaner than a home with pets.

Applications / Re: Procedure for removing Apache OpenOffice
« on: February 04, 2020, 02:52:32 am »
I've added support for installing OpenOffice 4.1.7 to Suntan Special. The procedure removes earlier versions, updates prerequisites and installs 4.1.7, while preserving settings and configuration. It basically follows the directions in the readme, but in REXX.

You still need to download your own copy of OpenOffice, and I recommend a donation to Bitwise.

I have temporarily made it possible to connect using http:.

In the future, a 301 directive will forward an http: request to https:

I want Firefox 45 (and Chrome 49 and IE 8) to be able to connect, too. All other browsers listed in the report (in my prior posting on page 1) work fine on https: now.

The problem is in the configuration of ciphers on nginx. I don't think I have access to that, so I'll need to open a ticket with my upstream provider.

I tried a website called SSL Server Test to test my website, and I can now see that several browsers will have problems. Here is the test page:

My solution is to leave some pointers to the http://www.blondeguy.com/ website for OS/2 users to use with Firefox 45 and 38 for OS/2. Other versions and plaforms work fine and can use the secure website https://www.blondeguy.com

I do not know what is different about my website compared to others that do work.

Yes. That's what I changed today.

It works in our Firefox 31ESR, but not in Firefox 45 SUa2. It also works in iPhone Safari and iPad Firefox. I've set up the redirect in plesk, which has the server send a 301 message with the redirect. I still have many corrections to make to the website, but I'd like to figure out this security problem if I can.

I was fooling with the server settings. There was a window where http://www.blondeguy.com was visible. It's gone now, and none of the website will show in Firefox 45 SUa2. I can verify that Firefox 31 has no problems accessing https:/www.blondeguy.com, even correctly identifying my certificate.

It's a website hosted by cruzio. They let me control it using plesk, but I'm having trouble configuring secure http, apparently.

OK, I tried with Qupzilla. It works fine to search from google or from duck duck go.

Internet / Google search problem
« on: January 14, 2020, 12:59:35 am »
I'm hoping to get some help figuring out a problem I have with Google search.

If I search for the term "OS/2 Consulting", the Blonde Guy consulting page comes up as item number one. If I click on it in Firefox (SUa2) for OS/2, nothing happens. If I click on it in Safari for iPhone, the page comes up as expected.

What is going on?

Hardware / Re: ArcaOS - OS/2 on an Lenovo Yoga 12 + Touch + Stylus

Hi Martin, Sigurd,

Since the webcam is working with my UVC Webcam Support for OS/2 programs (WebSee),  I expect it to work with my "UVC Microscope Viewer for OS2 (UvcScope) too.
These programs use the USBCALLS interface i.e. USBECD is not used. Isochronous Transfers are only used by the webam i.e. not used for pen and touch support.

Wim.

I noticed this webcam software and I got it to work on two of my laptops. Indeed, iso-synchronous USB transfers are needed to make this webcam support work. I was not able to make webcam support work for Arca Noae USB 12.x, because iso-synchronous transfers are not implemented. However, the webcam software works on both laptops using the Arca Noae USB 11.17 USB stack.

I think Vio output is not defined for a larger screen window. So to really do this right, you would need to extend the Vio family. But if some programs write to the buffer themselves, you would need to monitor that, too.

Both of these things could be done by code inserted into the program's space using the registry entry User->SYS_DLLS->LoadPerProcess. You write your code into a DLL and gain control using the DLL initialization code.
