Hey Andi,

I've tried FreeRDP to connect to different Linux boxes. It works but using FreeRDP the Linux host uses EN keyboard layout. All my Linux boxes does have German keyboards attached and work as expected when I'm sitting in front of them. My OS/2 system has a German keyboard too. But when I connect from my OS/2 system a Linux host via FreeRDP they get the English keys instead the German ones...

So I picked this up from an on-line FreeRDP User Manual (https://sysadminmosaic.ru/_media/freerdp/freerdp-user-manual.pdf), and while it's specficially calling out the use of xfreerdp, perhaps it works on our port as well:

Code: [Select]
xfreerdp .../kbd:0x409

where "/kbd:0x409" is they remote session keyboard layout you want to use, and in the case of non-EN setups you can use one of these:

Code: [Select]
Keyboard Layouts
0x00000401 Arabic (101)
0x00000402 Bulgarian
0x00000404 Chinese (Traditional) - US Keyboard
0x00000405 Czech
0x00000406 Danish
0x00000407 German
0x00000408 Greek
0x00000409 US

Looking at our port, I see the following option showing up:

Code: [Select]
/kbd:[layout:[0x<id>|<name>],lang:<0x<id>>,fn-key:<value>,type:<value>
      subtype:<value>,unicode[:on|off],remap:<key1>=<value1>
      remap:<key2>=<value2>,pipe:<filename>]
                                  Keyboard related options:* layout: set the
                                  keybouard layout announced to the server*
                                  lang: set the keyboard language identifier
                                  sent to the server* fn-key: Function key
                                  value* pipe: Name of a named pipe that can
                                  be used to type text into the RDP session

So it would at least appear like you should be able to set this. Give it a try and see if that helps?

Paul,

Latest Netdrive Plugin: https://smedley.id.au/tmp/ndpsmb-20240131.zip
Latest smbcl419.dll: https://smedley.id.au/tmp/smbcl419-4.19.4-20240202.zip

I seem to be having an awful time with these.

Pulled the NetDrive and client ZIPs, deployed and re-booted.

TRAP-D on bootup, and this is even after I scaled back my massive 1G JFS cache, etc, etc.

Not sure what else to tell ya here, appreciate the work you do though.

Mark,

...Still need some help though, Guys and Gals - mount connection is VERY slow (30 seconds), and accessing the subdirectories by clicking them in the resource is slow as well (about 30 seconds). Have attached the log.ndpsmb and log.smbc as .txt files, to see if you have any bright ideas...

Not sure if this contributing, but the following occurs every 10 secs:

Code: [Select]
...
MEMORY-ALPHA2024/01/31 15:55:04.43: 4 3:  session setup ok. Sending tconx <archive> <********>
...

and I'm thinking there is parameter somewhere that controls how long a share cache can exist? So perhaps if you have this set to 10 secs. it's driving this.

EDIT
====
For what it's worth, I've attached my smb.conf, used for client side purposes as I do not run the server on my OS/2 box.

After all, hard to beat the 3840x1200 Desktop real-estate!  8)
I did it a while ago and quite using SNAP and dual-head. I'm happy with my 42,5" 3840x2160 monitor and don't wanna switch back to two monitor setups although I used it more than a decade. The slightly higher DPI is not a problem for me. But yes a curved 42-46" monitor would be even better.

Alright man, "spill the beans"...what's the combo we need to consider?

1) video card
2) connectors (display, video card, cabling)
3) motherboard/CPU
4) Panorama settings

Anything else I'm forgetting?

Doug,

...As for SNAP over Panaroma:  I am currently using a dual head/monitor setup - with a dual head kvm for switching between a Win7 machine and AOS machine (the previous one that died.)  I would like to keep the dual head setup.  Hence my fixation on SNAP.  I would be willing to buy any video card needed to run SNAP to keep the dual head setup.  But I suspect all video cards with chipsets supported by SNAP will be old enough to not have GOP/UEFI support...

Like you, I am also stuck (by choice) with the SNAP approach given my desire for multi-head config.

After all, hard to beat the 3840x1200 Desktop real-estate!  8)

...until perhaps someone reports that they got one of the curved giant screens working in our OS/2 bubble, and therefore we have some kind of a map re: product, connector options, Panorama config, etc.

Applications / Re: Scroll-able Command Line Window
« on: January 27, 2024, 10:55:43 pm »
...Changed to the following

/k MODE 80,102

Close and now open the prompt window.  You should see the scroll bar.  If the Window is too wide, change the 80 to 70 or 60...

Yes, but this simply expands the TOTAL window buffer to 102 vertical lines. It is not a continuous buffer that allows you to scroll all the way back to the start of the session.

For that functionality I would recommend MESHELL as well.

Hmm...always had it in CONFIG.SYS, never tried in startup.cmd, but I am not experiencing the sort of issues you are seeing.

Mark,

1) If you include 'client max protocol = NT1' in smb.conf, is there a difference?

Further on this topic, you could try setting 'ntlm auth = yes' to force just the use of NTLMv1 authentication protocol. I say this because I see the following in the log:

Code: [Select]
...
[2024/01/26 11:52:44.426000,  5] ../../auth/credentials/credentials_ntlm.c:182(cli_credentials_get_ntlm_response)
  NTLMSSP challenge set by NTLM2
...

which to me means: yup, it's trying to use NTLMv2 authentication.

In fact, 'ntlm auth' and 'lanman auth' go hand-in-hand, both need to be set to 'no' in order to force NTLMv1.

2) Do you have 'name resolve order =' line in your smb.conf?

This has previously caused me some issues as I wasn't able to resolve my lan hostnames and needed to use their static IP addresses. It's been a while though and today things work fine here with the following setting:

'name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast'

Above comments based on my reading of O'Reilly's "Using Samba" 3rd ed, 2007 (yup, a little old).

David,

...On a different subject - on directories with windows exe files, the WPS blocks while apparently it tries to determine the icons for the files. If the files are large it can take a very long time (minutes - like it reads the whole file) to display and free the WPS...

That has always been the bahaviour I've seen on my end.

In particular, I have my general software library on the NAS, which easily serves all the individual PC installs, but that is a set of directories I generally stay away from viewing on my OS/2 machine for the very reason you mentioned.

It's like the whole EXE has to be read in order for ANY info to actually show.

Setup & Installation / Re: Are there any 8GB Nvme compatiable motherboard
« on: January 20, 2024, 07:38:46 pm »
Hi Doug,

Anyone aware of a motherboard that handles nvme and provides os/2 access to the full 8gb of main memory?...

What about finding a mb that provides OS/2 with a nice linear memory map (no holes) and using an adapter for nvme chores?

Assuming that the original goal of finding both proves to be a challenge, I am thinking an adapter would be the easier of the two to handle in ad-hoc fasion...I mean as long as the mb provides a nice PCIe x4 (or greater, such as x8 for multiple NVMe drives) you would be good.

What do you mean by the full 8GB's? OS/2 is limited to 4GB address space, minus PCI address space...

Yeah, I'm thinking Doug is looking for a hardware config Dave that allows OS/2 to set aside the max <4GB space it can possibly use, as well as anything above that 4GB mark for ramdisk...heck, I suppose you don't necessairly have to stop at 8GB, but not sure what one might need a bigger ramdisk for.

In comparison to Dave's numbers, here is what my ancient MSI board shows:

Code: [Select]
Total physical memory:      8,191 MB
Accessible to system:       3,199 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:    4,992 MB

Applications / Re: NewView - control over NEW window placement?

Hi Alex,

Quote
Unfortunately the off-set placement of every NEW window is something that Alex doesn't see the benefit of changing

It would be more accurate to say that I couldn't find a practical way to avoid it that didn't cause more problems.

Fair enough, your list email response was rather terse and pointed to technical reasons, which I concluded to mean that per your assessment there was no ROI on pursuing this further.

...I originally did try to eliminate the offset when opening on a different virtual desktop. The problem is that NewView only knows about the most recently opened existing window, so there's no way to skip the offsetting in a way that's consistent....I did consider trying to have NewView detect and scan through every possible existing instance, but this would have been a major undertaking, with significant overhead, that I wasn't confident I could make work in any event, and for IMHO very little practical payoff...

I can certainly appreciate the thinking going into this.

So how about a counter-proposal, one that will tie in to the argument that Andi made in this last post: why even force the offset on the user?

Forget about coming up with a very sophisticated logic to deal with all the permutations. You are absolutely right to say that pursing such an approach would be of little practical gain. In fact, given Andi's post and my own dislike of the offset I would suggest that we introduce a Settings option to turn ON or OFF the offset.

That way no existing (significant I'm hoping, but I'm already skating on thin ice here :-[) code changes need to happen as hopefully the offset can be set to either the CURRENT value (and program works exactly as it does today), or to an ALTERNATIVE value of 0 (zero), so that no offset is applied.

Would this not be viable?

Programming / Re: Installing VisualAge 4 on ArcaOS 5.x

...Turns out I somehow didn't copy the entire installation CD on my VM, so VACPP.RSP and other files weren't where expected...

Not sure what the software level is that you ended up deploying, but if it's the base stuff make sure you apply the fixpak release that's avaialable, for VACPP 4.0 that's just FP1.

David, everyone...

FYI - there is a new NewView release on Hobbes - seems to fix this issue...

Yup, we covered this in the Testers' List, the issue I had originally reported (the post above) was addressed, good there.

Unfortunately the off-set placement of every NEW window is something that Alex doesn't see the benefit of changing, or perhaps to be more true to his statement, "...deliberate choice..." as there are various technical reasons to leave it as-is, subseuently that's not going to change.

I disagree with that direction, but I'm in no position to force the change, so I'll run with what is being handed out! (know thy "swimlane" lol)

To your "Thank You Alex" point, absolutely agree with that statement, just not the design decision itself.

...It would be nice if some others could test the updated smbd / netdrive plugin to get some more data points...
OK, but what is the exact use-case you are looking for Paul?

I had previously tried your client update and that results is a "face meets brick wall" (LOL) event here, been following the thread all along, but so far I'm not picking up on anything that I can specifically test out.
