General Discussion / Software support
« on: May 16, 2015, 01:55:42 am »
I recently had a bad experience with software support. The latest version of a program will not start and throws a sys3175. I reported the problem, got no reaction at all to 2 emails. I directly approached the developer on IRC, he didn't have a solution at hand, didn't ask me to do further testing or provided a version of the program with bug tracking features. In other words, no support at all. I bought this program about 4 years and 3 versions ago. It may not be realistic to expect support over such a long period, then again, if the licence provides all future versions, they should be supported imho. If the seller is not prepared to extend support this far, he should state that clearly and offer a support subscription. This is just an opinion, and by no means an invitation to start a flame war. This is also meant as a reminder to ecomstation.ru that it is extremely bad business practice to completely ignore customers.
I would like to add that the software I bought written by Glassman has been well supported, with quick responses to bug reports and feature requests. So it's not all bad)

I think the Japanese and Chinese eCS versions are mainly the work of Alex Taylor, who now works with Arca Noae.

I saw the same with the latest AOO. Turned out one of the dependencies was the the wring version. Do make sure everything you have to install with yum is the proper version. Yum list installed will give you the version numbers.

But please no club membership like PMMail.


PMMail is licenced by VOICE. Since VOICE no longer has members, due to it now being a Dutch Foundation, the PMMail licence requirements will be changed. Pending agreement by the VOICE board, it will become donation ware. Basically, what that means is you can get a licence by donating to VOICE. Details will be made public once the board has agreed on the matter. This is a matter of weeks, not months)

uacontrol can set the string per site. I prefer that, at least to let some website stats analysts see that there are still a few OS/2 users around)

I see that with vk.com. That has a "full version" menu item that cures it. Alternatively, setting the user agent string to some recent win, nix or apple version will give you the normal site. Website checks user agent, everything it doesn't know will make it fall back to mobile version.

What kind of bugs me with vlc is that it uses the unix structure, but not quite. I'd like it better if it would just go in my unixroot tree. Didn't try it yet with the latest version, but 2 versions ago it wouldn't work that way. Seems like it's a prime candidate for yum/rpm installation.

Internet / Re: Firefox beta 4 released
« on: March 10, 2015, 06:29:14 pm »
I renamed my old firefox directory and unzipped firefox-24.8.1.en-US.os2.beta_4.zip
I have all the latest gcc and libc DLL's from when I installed Apache Open Office a couple of weeks ago.

When I try to run firefox I simply get

  "Couldn't load xul.dll"

I havent run highmem on the firefox dll's yet.

There is no exceptq or other log files anywere.
I've read the readme and changes file with nothing that jumps out at me.

Did you do the following?:

4. INSTALL 'freetyp6.dll' and 'fntcfg2.dll' into one of the directories
      on your "LIBPATH". You can download RPMs with these files from:
         http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/i386/i386/freetype-2.5.5-1.oc00.i386.rpm
         http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/i386/i386/fontconfig-2.8.0-1.oc00.i386.rpm
      If you use RPM/YUM, just run this command:
         yum install freetype fontconfig
