Thank you.

After I've checked RPM just after the vulnerability became available, and found that there is version 1.0.0a that is not vulnerable, and that I don't use SSL in Apache, I settled down and added the link to #netlabs topic.

I can't remember any other application that uses OpenSSL, but if it is, please say what one.
We should check that it uses the openssl.dll that ships via netlabs repository, or if it uses its own, that it is not vulnerable.

This is my personal opinion, but it is also very frustrating that Eugene can not clearly express himself in English, when he write something I don't understand like the 80% of what he means.
Martin, to be honest, this is not a language barrier. Well, it is, but that's not the real problem.

It is really hard to understand him even in Russian for me (and I'm a native Russian speaker), so there's something wrong really deeper...

Mining on CPU is not now profitable because you will pay for electricity more than you'll get from mining.
Mining on GPU is not now possible on OS/2 because we have no videodriver that provides an interface to GPU that those miners use.

You may take a credit to buy billions of PCs and GPUs for it, install GNU/Linux on them, and mine *coins to sponsor the development of hardware videodrivers for OS/2 to install OS/2 then on those PCs and continue mining (to pay for the credit you've taken to buy the PCs, and the another one you've taken to buy all these OS/2s you've installed).

But I'm not sure neither in that there's a bank that would give you a credit for THAT, nor that you'd like this plan.

P. S. Also I've heard mining on GPUs are non-profitable, too... no, these must be false rumors!

Wipe the drive and repartition it using DFSee.

You can either download a freedos+dfsee image on the official DFSee site, burn it to a CD or a USB drive, and boot from it, OR you can just put DFSee for OS/2 on a USB drive, boot your PC from eCS installation CD #1, choose Management console (it even does not ask for a serial code), insert the USB drive with dfsee, open a windowed OS/2 session, change to the USB drive, and start DFSee (dfsos2.exe).

Then you can wipe the beginning of your HDD drive, and create your own partitioning, or exit DFSee and let the eCS installer do it.

Cheers.

P. S. If you want a fully-functional OS/2 boot CD/USB, you can join #os2russian on efnet.

Programming / Re: New OS/4 kernel :: SVN4173
« on: April 03, 2014, 08:12:36 pm »
Dariusz and everyone else,

I've just wrote the "Getting the log" section of the OS/4 page on the OS2World Wiki.
You may now use it to learn how to get the kernel log over the COM port.
Other possibilities are not yet described there.

Also I've finally managed to get the trap on unloading DLLs marked as loading in high memory (I've used the latest highmem tool from Yuri based on January June's work) with 14.105_SMP.

I dunno why, but I'm unable to load 14.106_SMP on this system (getting hangs on OS2LVM.DMD), but, because the Phoenix kernel loads fine and works just fine here, I'll try to trap with it and report the bug.

So I hope a new version of the Phoenix kernel will appear soon with this bug fixed, allowing to drastically reduce low shared memory usage.

With marked DLLs (and dllbasing=off) I'm getting the following on a loaded system with lots of running applications:
Code: [Select]
Current free virtual address space in KiB (private / shared):
  316608 / 178880 below 512MB line, 1376256 / 662912 above 512MB line

Thank Yuri!

'the eCS 2.1 code should work just fine! We nevver issued beta 2.2 specific codes.' - Here is the reply from eComStation tech person. I must be doing something wrong. I will try again.  8)

No I believe it's not you ;)

Doug,

There is, of course, some memory that doesn't get returned
Some? No memory gets returned.

One thing, that seems to help with shared memory space, is to have the line
dllbasing=off
If it's so good, why isn't it included in config.sys of eCS 2.1?



Dave,

You could open an issue at github
Opened, issue #55

ask for them to do a new build with -Zhigh-mem added to the enable-optimize flags.
It builds with -Zhigh-mem already.

And I suppose FF10 builds with -Zhigh-mem, too.

Is the -Zhigh-mem flag what you mean by "more aggressive use of high memory"? I mean, is this your fix?

Dave, the build works pretty bad. Although it even doesn't crash too often (while a lot people say it does), the biggest problem is that it fucks up the shared memory arena and I can't run programs even after I close FF (sic!), also it doesn't free memory at all -- closing tabs doesn't increase the amount of free memory in the system. Also when I open tabs back again, it eats even more memory, so that's literally a memory-waste-machine.

Dave, so you can't improve bitwise's FF17 the same way you did with FF10? I mean more aggressive use of highmem?

That's very important -- reducing the use of low memory, really.

So where can I always get the latest build by Dave? Hobbes? Bitbucket (didn't find FF there)?

Dave has bulit SeaMonkey, Thunderbird and Lightning. He has uploaded it to ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/mozilla/.

Bitwise Works has built Firefox. For announcements see https://github.com/bitwiseworks/mozilla-os2/releases/.

Andreas

Can't see Lightning for Thunderbird 17.

Also it seems that Dave also built Firefox, too, because he says that his build is more aggressive at using high memory (which I wanna try very much).

I read that some hoped that Win XP would be open sourced. Even if Microsoft did open source it, it would probably be like the MS-DOS being opened sourced.  ::)

If M$ releases it under GNU GPL, it will push linux very very back away to the days when it was needed by noone.

That would be an epic thing, an event that will surely get into the annals of computer history.

From what I know, OOP has a problem with something in OS/2. The current way to bypass the problem is to add the setting, that Dave mentioned, in ABOUT:CONFIG. OOP is supposed to get fixed, eventually, and the setting will get turned to true. All of the Mozilla derivatives are affected.

Dave forgot to make the change that turns off OOP, when he built Thunderbird, and Seamonkey. I added the temporary fix, and uploaded new install files. It was not necessary to change Firefox, because it already had the temporary fix.

I hope that clarifies the situation.
Do you mean 'set turned off by default' by 'temporary fix'?
