Re: VM/SP Release 5 at LCM+L (Living Computers: Museum + Labs)
Just ask Drew Derbyshire ... his e-mail address is:? ahd@... While I am good friends with the LCML+L 4361, this is where I must present my standard disclaimer:?
I'd suggest using one of the forms on this page:? -ahd- ? |

Does anyone know where to ask for a permanent account ?

I have Ubuntu installed in a VMware virtual machine (Kubuntu 21.10) and it runs Herc 4.5 (the upcoming new version of SDL Hyperion Hercules) just fine. The current official 4.4.1 release version should run just fine as well. I can't find it.It doesn't come pre-distributed with any of the existing Linuxes that I am aware of, so you need to clone the repository and build it yourself instead. Don't worry! It's actually pretty easy (especially if you use Bill's Hercules Helper script): The repository is here: * Instructions for MANUALLY building it are here: * For easy AUTOMATED building, I recommend using Bill Lewis's (a fellow Hercules developer) excellent "Hercules Helper" script, which can be found here: * Linux: Simply clone Bill's repository and run his buildall script: $ hyperion-buildall.sh --auto Refer to the above URLs for complete instructions. (You may have to scroll down the page a little bit to reach the instructions. The above two URLs are for his repository which you need to git clone.) If you have any problem with Bill's helper script, contact Bill. If you have any problems with the official manual build method, contact the Hercules development team. Good luck! -- "Fish" (David B.

Re: Need Advice on Ubuntu/Linux Distro
Hi Mark,
I changed ECPSVM to NO and still no go, same error. The ONLY reason for using Hercules 3.x is because you heard about it, and can find it in the Fedora/Red Hat/.../[A-Z*]Ubuntu/... and other distributions list of available products, and have not yet found about the superior Hercules 4. I run Hercules 4 on my Windows system just fine, from VM/370 CE to an old z/VM system I found on the Internet.? No problems yet.? I just don't know if I can run Hercules 4 on Ubuntu, I can't find it. Thanks. Jim |
Hello, i need your help.
Please check your VM/370 systems if this bug shows up, perhaps only my system might be damaged. You only need any one REXX exec, it does not matter if it does any real work. Start the exec with 7,8,9,10 ... arguments. Check for unusual error messages like those marked in red below. Please post your test results here, even if this bug does not show up on your sytem. Please include version info (cmslevel, brexx ...)

Re: Need Advice on Ubuntu/Linux Distro
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýDon't just upgrade to an SSD (256GB should be okay), but add in as much memory as possible. Memory is more important to Windows OS than to a Linux OS but helps with either one. I usually take the old hard-drive and put it into a shirt-pocket
case to attach via USB for recovering data first but then as
external storage. For OS, I run RedHat on my tower server in the corner but Ubuntu on the old Toshiba laptop I play with.? I used to run CentOS on both.

¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMike, Sorry, sent that in a bit of a hurry. ? Jim, Any chance of the log?

As the orginiator of this thread, I should say that a few feet from where I¡¯m sitting is an IBM ThinkPad dated 2000 (the year I retired from IBM) that still runs Windows XP when I turn it on (perhaps every two or three years). After dabbling with Limux I switched to Macs very soon after.

Jim just how old is this laptop? And, ah, was XP native on it? Last year I bought a pair of Dell laptops from the VCF East events, and one of them, a Dell Latitude model runs Seven splendidly, and the earlier one, also same brand, runs XP poorly. Which is curious because that's the OS it was designed for. These are from the middle to the late part of the twenty year period for Dell laptops. Oddly enough, I run Slackware Linux, and it ran splendidly on the one I had before, even WiFi worked perfectly. Yes I needed to download the the tools and firmware to make the WiFi card work, but that was expected. And the one running Seven is in fact the guy Dell was selling after the model I had before, The big difference between those and the Inspiron families are the target audience. One is for lease/purchase and the other is for outright purchase. I am not a big fan of Debian based distributions, including itself, but I run one on the Raspberry Pi, but for Intel (or AMD) based platforms I prefer Slackware. However the problem is that it's not a supported one out there in the world of Linux supported by IBM and everyone else. Incidentally Fish my Dell Dimension still thinks yours is too young to work all night. This message will need to be interpreted by two monsters to two different people. And can be easily understood by someone who breathes through gills. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@... "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
