Past Presentations at SCOUG

  • December, 2011 - Peter brought in his Thinkpad 770x and we attempted to install eCS 2.1 on it. Unfortunately, we failed for reasons that are not yet clear. There may have been hardware issues. We may try again next month.
    For some reason time servers continue to be a popular subject so we talked some more about NTP and related protocols.
  • November, 2011 - Steven did a redo of the eCS 2.1 Presentation he made at Warpstock 2011 in Raleigh/Durham, NC.
    Rocky brought a system that refused to install eCS 2.1 for him. We tweaked the formatting and updated the MBR for a successful install.
    Peter reviewed some aspects of his planned Data Center including his requirements for virtualization and time server support.
  • October, 2011 - Sheridan showed a small audience what could be done with JavaScript and CSS.
  • September, 2011 - Peter asked that we take another look at Octave, so we did. We looked at the available releases and did some basic math and plotting.
    We also discussed resurrecting the SCOUG Programming SIG. Steven offered to mentor the members that wanted to set up usable development environments.
  • August, 2011 - We helped Peter understand how to support multiple development enviroments. Steven discussed the tcpip32-safe patch. Steven also reviewed the design of the clonekill utility and Greg compared clonekill to md5deep.
  • July, 2011 - Much of the discussion at this meeting was fun, but off-topic. However, we did talk a bit about ACPI, Virtual PC, Rich Walsh's RUN!, eCS preload computer vendors, Polarbar and the lpd print server daeon which do qualify as eComStations and OS/2 related topics.
  • June, 2011 - Steven was going to demo an eCS 2.1 install, but we ended up doing something a bit more fun. Thom Brown had a complex system that failed to install eCS 2.1. He brought it to the meeting and we found workarounds for the issues and the system is now running eCS 2.1.
  • May, 2011 - Peter discussed the status of his search for a new compiler toolchain which he will use to develop the next generation of his investment software.
    Steven went to Warpstock Europe 2011 and had a great time. He talked about what happened and who was there. He also talked about the eComStation 2.1 release which was announced at the conference.
  • April, 2011 - Sandy gave us part 2 of his Digital Photography tutorial. He used the Gimp to show us how to take a raw image from the camera and adjust it to better match what what the eye sees.
    Peter needed to know about math operation speed for various interpreters.
  • March, 2011 - Peter asked about Cloud backups, so we discussed this and some of the alternatives. Greg showed us the Amazon Cloud and the Pogo Plug.
    We also discussed rsync as a backup solution that can use either remote servers or LAN mapped drives.
    We finished up with a dicussion of the Firefox 4.0b12 beta. Firefox 4 for eCS/OS2 will be available soon.
  • Febrary, 2011 - All the presenters made it to the meeting this month. Jerry explained what QT is and reviewed some of the ported applications at QT apps at Netlabs
    Bob showed his modified daytime client. The original daytime port did not support the Daytime Protocol (RFC-867) response message format provided by by the NIST daytimer server. You can download a copy of the client from daytime v1.9a.
  • January, 2011 - Plans change. Neither Bob or Jerry made it to the meeting. However, Peter had questions that needed answering, so we did an extended Q&A session. Among other things, we discussed what QtLib is and is not and the implications of IP6 on the eCS/OS2 TCP/IP stack.

  • December, 2010 - Greg showed us the results of his recent attempts at running eCS under a several different Virtual Machines. Some of you might recall that the last time we tried this the results were not all that good. This time the updated versions of the various VMs did much better and we had some successful installs.
    Bob had a system that insisted on booting slow, although it ran fine once booted. We spent a bit of quality time time with pmdf and the kernel debugger and tracked track down the reason. There appears to be a regression in either Danis506.add or Daniatapi.flt that results in lost interrupts if there is no CD in the CD drive. The workaround is to insert a CD during boot up.
  • November, 2010 - Peter was (any maybe still is) having performance problems with one of his DOS apps running in a DOS VDM and asked about profiling options. We reviewed what was available for eCS/OS2 - non-intrusive, intrusive, ad-hoc.
    Bob asked about kernel debugging one of his systems that insists on booting slow and we made some educated guesses.
  • October, 2010 - Steven previewed the recently released Flash10 preview#2. There was clear progress from preview#1, although issues remain. Jibjab traps when starting to play a clip.
    Peter asked about flowcharting options. We showed him how to use OpenOffice as one possible solution. We also demo'ed ArgoUML. ArgoUML is a UML modeling tool, but is also a very capable charting tool because a UML tool requires this to be effective.
    We took another look at Bob's t42p redraw issues. These seem to be specific to his notebook and not dependent on whether he uses SNAP or Panarama.
    We had some rsync Q&A. Steven demo'ed is BldRsyncCmd REXX script with takes much of the effort out of constructing rsync command lines.
    The question of USB mass-storage speed came up. Steven showed how to use dfsee to measure read speed. We found that 10 MBytes/sec was about as fast as any of the USB devices that were at the meeting could go, even with a USB 2.0 connection. USB 2.0 operates at up to 480 MBits/sec so the potential for 48 MBytes/sec data transfer exists. There's a lot of overhead in the protocols so achieving this kind of data transfer rate is non-trivial.
  • September, 2010 - We were internet-less, but this only slowed us down a bit. Steven discussed his Flash10 problems and attempting to use os2trace to analyze the cause of the failures.
    Peter asked for recommendations about copying files from NTFS and FAT32.
    Bob discussed this problems with timeset on eCS 2.0.
    Gregg asked about optimized techniques for copying unique files from older, smaller drives.
    Sheridan reported that the problematic XPC Shuttle is now operating correctly with a new 1TB hard drive.
  • August, 2010 - Denny Jizba brought his new Compaq cq61-410us laptop to the meeting to assess if it could run eCS. The answer is no, without a lot of work.
    Sheridan brough his XPC Shuttle with a newly installed 1TB SATA drive. After the drive was erased and repartitioned an eCS 2.0 test install went reasonably well. We didn't have much time to test the installed system, but everything seemed to work.
  • July, 2010 - Jerry demoed VLC. VLC is a new, very capable, cross-platform media player.
    Steven demoed the new Open File Control also known as the FOC. The FOC adds a number of useful features to the classic File Open Control.
    Bob showed us around some of the geneology sites that he uses.
  • June, 2010 - We had a free-wheeling discussion of eCS 2.0. Steven did an uneventful demonstration install and the cautious users that had not yet installed eCS 2.0 asked questions.
  • May, 2010 - Bob showed us how he used NetDrive and the EVFSGUI to connect his eCS systems with the Buffalo NAS. See how to setup NetDrive and EVFSGUI for a setup guide. Jerry showed us some of the eCS compatible NAS boxes in his collection.
    Steven did a demo install of an almost eComStation 2.0 GA install CD.
  • April, 2010 - David Azarewicz joined us from San Diego. He is doing some work on the Uniaud drivers. Steven gave a getting started presentation which covered general OS/2 device driver architecture, building uniaud32 and using the kernel debugger.
  • March 2010 - Greg showed us his NAS collection. Lots of interesting boxes; some were even willing to talk to the OS/2 Lan Requester. Some, like its name implies, were Bufallo-ed by the Requester's attempts to connect. It seems that many of these boxes are not quite standards compliant as the LAN Requester understands the term. We have been told that the eCS Samba client can connect to a wider variety of NAS boxes, but this is a topic for a future meeting.
  • February 2010 - Jerry Rash is working on a new multimedia project which replaces the default eCS/OS2 multimedia viewers with more capable applications, such as mplayer and pm123.
    Jerry demo'ed the current state of development and reviewed some of the implementation details.
  • January 2010 - Steven did a redo of lasts month's bootAble presentation using Hayo's 6.4.4 release. This release includes several new features based on feedback generated from December's bootAble presentation.
    Steven installed a hot-of-the-press eCS 2.0 interim RC build CD to a Thinkpad T42 without incident. Ray also successfully installed the CD to his laptop. The previous eCS 2.0 RC CD failed to install cleanly on this laptop, so we have some progress.

  • December 2009 - Steven and Ray showed us how to use bootAble to build various types of bootable CDs. We also discovered an interesting side-effect of using the Acronis boot manager. It results in parts of eCS/OS2 thinking it was booted from the volume where Acronis is installed.
  • November 2009 - Bob presented a review of DD-WRT. He described the avialables modes and discussed where to find cookbook instructions installing the dd-wrt package and setting up the various modes.
    Steven gave a progress report on the "Change Drive Letter" project. It is still a work in progress.
    Steven gave a progress report on the "Clean up the extra Nowwhere Folders" project. This project came to be because Sandy had a large number of extra Nowhere folders on boot volumes and wanted to know how to remove them. The project is still a work in progress, but is close to completion.
  • October 2009 - We tried again. This time Greg used VirtualBox under Ubuntu. We got a bit further, but this is still a work in progress. We experienced the resource.sys trap which is a known problem. According to ticket #2250 this is supposed to be fixed for recent eCS 2.0 RCs.
    Rocky had a problem installing OpenOffice 1.1.2 on his freshly installed eCS 1.2r. It is trapping in compform3msc.dll. He is going to check on the OpenOffice help list and see if anyone recalls what caused this.
    Finally, Ray showed us how he set up dd-wrt to act as a client bridge.
  • September 2009 - Greg's demonstration of installing eCS to Sun's VirtualBox on his Shuttle X27D turned out to mostly a "PC-BSD Help Desk." VirtualBox refused to start the VM and we had what appeared to be hardware issues.
    Al (Hecht) needed help and got some. We corrected an number of WPS and application issues, but there is more to do.
  • August 2009 - Steven presented a Warpstock 2009 review. Everyone that went to New Mexico had a great time. We continued with our investigation of what is required to move an eCS/OS2 installation to a volume with a different drive letter. Steven demonstrated a preliminary version of the ChangeBootDriveLetter.pl Perl script that will assist in applying the required edits.
  • July 2009 - This month we reviewed using rsync as a backup tool. We also started to look at how to move an eCS/OS2 install to a different boot volume.
  • June 2009 - The crew helped Ray understand his WET54G Wireless Bridge. We got it configured and connected to the wireless network and the Internet. Lynn dicussed importing the PEG solitaire sources into the Developer's Assitant Data Dictionary.
  • May 2009 - Steven showed us how to update the pc5220 broadband wireless adapter to support a new device. Stu Updike has a copy of the driver and we are awaiting a status report.
  • April 2009 - The SCOUG server came to the meeting for a bit of servicing. The patient is much better now. We did some scoug.com site update planning. Lynn discussed his design for the Developer's Assistant, concentrating on the DD/R requirements.
  • March 2009 - We had a wide ranging Q&A session led by Steven. Lynn continued his discussion of the Developer's Assistant. The Programming SIG started to plan some web site updates.
