Hi: I'm having what have so far turned out to be insoluble problems with dosemu (1.1.99.1) under Redhat 9
1) Current status/environment: RedHat 9 (kernel 2.4.20), with Dosemu 1.1.99.1 and matching freedos binaries installed per instructions, which worked as specified. To be able to check on possible permissions issues, it was installed separately both in my user home and in root's. ~/dosemu/conf/dosemurc has been changed as follows:- $_com1 = "/dev/ttyS0" $_printer = "lpr" After the above, all DOS apps I have tried seem to run nicely EXCEPT in regard to port access, as follows:- 1) On trying to print from DOS, (either via e.g. "copy autoexec.bat LPT1:"or via DBase III, which otherwise runs correctly, and which prints to LPT1:), we get the same error message: "lpr: unable to print file client-not-found" This same message appears whether or not I am running as root. 2) On starting an app that needs Com1, we get a message "error initializing serial port" I do not know where this is generated. as above, the message is the same whether running as root or as a normal user, so permissions may not be the problem. I have checked permissions as follows:- A) /var/lock = 777 (note that in RH9, the only content of /var/lock seems to be a 'subsys' directory, which - is this a configuration issue that needs to be addressed? ( i have tried changing the value of ttylocks to match (i.e. to /var/lock/subsys), but with no effect) B) /dev/ttyS0 = 666 Thus as far as I can see, i have made all the changes that are normally suggested, unless I am missing something. Has anyone seen behaviour like this, and/or an anyone advise how to diagnose this please? thanks!
