The dosemu script won't run. I get the error:

It seems as Your installation is causing problem in "dosemu" Bourne
shell script. This script ("/usr/bin/dosemu" or maybe
"/usr/local/bin/dosemu") start dosemu binary "dosemu.bin" - probably
at line 404 via "exec" shel command. You should debug this script
for determining exactly why this call fail.
And only notice - I think You should try dosemu version 1.4.0, it is
much better than 1.2.2.

Re: dosemu - help
Hello Harry, command "mode con cols=132 lines=43" works OK for me under X in dosemu 1.4. Only things I must specify X font e.g. $_X_font = "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-200-75-100-m-0-iso8859-2" I use Fedora 7, dosemu 1.4.0 svn1828, freedos kernel build 2036 cvs version Aug 18Aug2006, freedos mode version 29apr2004 by Eric Auer. With internal bitmap font it seems that screen switch to 132 cols x 43 rows (on it is 132x43 ugly symbols and "mode con" say /redirected to file, of course :)/ : "Screen size: 132 columns, 43 rows, mode 85, font height 11." but fonts for new mode aren't loaded. Normal font height in 80x25 mode is 16. Maybe using DOS display and "mode con codepage" with proper .cpi font file will work, I don't know. Maybe Bart or someone with better knowledge about it could say more. I didn't tried change textmode in dosemu under console, as you perhaps not needed it.

Re: Performance problems
Hello Maximiliano, Your dosemu.conf seems normal. Did You verified (by top/ps), that system load is caused by "dosemu.bin" processes? How load increase with increasing number of dosemu clients?

Re: DOSEmu fonts and remote access
1)
Perhaps easiest way (I think) is select some monospaced Type1, Opentype
or TTF font (on my Fedora 7 system they are in directories:
/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1
/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF
/usr/share/fonts/liberation
etc)
When corresponding directories are listed in xfs config file
(/etc/X11/fs/config on Fedora), then fonts filenames and font names
are in related "fonts.dir" files. Monospaced fonts have letter "-m-"
in their name, e.g.:
-b&h-luxi mono-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
and may be listed by command like this:
xlsfonts -fn "-*-*-*-*-*--0-0-*-*-m-0-*"|sort|uniq
And then is possible specify one of them in dosemu.conf/.dosemurc and fine
tune its size by setting parametr no. 8 (POINT_SIZE), ev. parameters 9
and 10 (RESOLUTION_X and RESOLUTION_Y) in his X Logical Font Description
(XLFD) name.
Namely see possibility of setting different RESOLUTION_X and RESOLUTION_Y values
for setting font width and height:
$_X_font = "-misc-dejavu lgc sans
mono-medium-r-normal--0-240-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1"
$_X_font = "-b&h-luxi mono-medium-r-normal--0-200-75-100-m-0-iso8859-2"
This work also with Xming server for win with fontserver enabled (although
I prefer Linux clients - possibility of copy text to/from DOS apps with
only moving mouse over it is simply super! (DOS under Linux is better than
DOS under a product of own firm ;)
Other option, when isn't available big X bitmap font, is creating one's
own from scalable fonts, there are some programs for this. I think this
maybe useful when needed by hand modify some fonts (as some DOS apps
make download their fonts, mostly for change chars with codes 0-0x1F
and 0x80-0xFF), and editing of bitmap fonts maybe easier then outline
fonts.
2)
may be sufficient solution when backup script kill all running dosemu
instances ("killall dosemu.bin"). Or create "/etc/nologin" and kill
all their sessions too.
In LTSP project exist small shell script "vncts" (in Fedora and
K12LTSP distro this is in package "vnc-ltsp-config") which is started
from (x)inet daemon, and this script call Xvnc server with different
resolutions and color depth depending on TCP port called from vncviewer
client. But is possible start Xvnc server from inet daemon directly,
see Xvnc man page.
For small number of clients is possible start their X sessions directly
at server startup and clients differentiate between them by specifiing
tcp port number in vncviewer commandline.

Re: Multi-user and shared directories
I use dosemu & Linux terminal server (k12ltsp) by several customers in production environment (mainly some economical DOS programs). There maybe better solve dosemu setting as "hardware oriented", because terminals physical location may determine e.g. local printers use in DOS. Therefore I have on some point in linux fs (/var/DOS/stations in example below) directories describing individual terminals, which act as dosemu boot path instead these in "~/.dosemu/", i.e. they contains drive_c, drives, run directories an other files. And dosemu starting script determine terminal (or server, why not work on it?) from environment setting (use variables LTSP_HOSTNAME, DISPLAY, output of `uname -n`), and then start DOSEMU in manner: xdosemu --Fimagedir /var/DOS/stations/varta \ -f /var/DOS/stations/varta/.dosemurc C:\\runmyapp.bat where "varta" is resolved terminal location (but it maybe e.g. terminal IP address too) By concept of this "HW oriented" instead of "user oriented" dosemu use may be one user login on multiple terminals and run dosemu (I know this is bad idea, but in real world more frequent then multiple users working on single terminal ;)) Sorry for my un-standard english language extension :) Frantisek Hanzlik Roberto Bechtlufft wrote: Hi everybody, I'm new to dosemu and to this list.
