Hello all,
I'm taking a break from Windows and trying to resurrect my old work laptop that used to run Windows XP.? I have a Dell Precision M90 with 4gbs and a NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500M graphics card.? All of the last 4 version of Linux Mint Cinnamon fail to support the card (surprise!).? I'm now trying Ubuntu 22.04 with some success although the display is sometimes fragmented.? If I go to a different function and then return, the screen refreshes correctly.
While I'm at it, I found Hercules Studio 1.5 and Hercules 3.13 along with X3270.? I'm trying to get it to work with VM/370 CE 1.3 to no avail (HHCP011I CPU0000 Disabled wait state PSW=000A000 00000017).? VMCE works fine on my Windows system with HercGUI and Hyperion 4.4.1.
Any suggestions on a distro for my laptop and/or VMCE?

I'm taking a break from Windows What?! HOW DARE YOU! TRAITOR!! </kidding> :) [...] Any suggestions on a distro for my laptop and/or VMCE? <std disclaimer(*)> I have 3 Linux distros installed in VMware virtual machines, and all run just fine for me (with various different definitions of "fine" and "for me"): 1. CentOS 6.4 2. KDE Neon 5.25 3. Kubuntu 21.10 CentOS 6.4 is *VERY* old and no longer supported and thus *NOT* recommended, but strangely, out of the three, I prefer it the most. It's user interface is very snappy. Can't speak about how well (or how poorly?) the rest of the operating system behaves, since, with me not being a Linux user, I don't really give Linux much of a workout. I only use Linux to build and test Hercules with. Nothing else. KDE Neon 5.25 is okay, but it's user interface is kind of sluggish IMO. Maybe if it was running natively (instead of inside a VMware virtual machine) it might run better? Kubuntu 21.10 seems quite nice IMO. The speed of the user interface, while nowhere near that of CentOS, seems ever so slightly faster than Neon's. Haven't had any problems with any hardware with any of them, but then, as I said I'm running them inside a Windows VMware virtual machine too. I also can't say much about VM/370 CE either, since I don't really use it. And finally, I can't say ANYTHING AT ALL about Hercules 3.x(**), it being a completely stone cold fucking DEAD product, and am continually amazed there as people that still insist on using it. </std disclaimer> Does that help any? :) -------------------- (*) You and everyone else knows me: I'm a Windows person, NOT a Linux person. So take everything I say about Linux with a grain of salt. (**) There nothing (that I am aware of!) that Hercules 3.x can do that SDL Hyperion Hercules 4.4.1 cannot do better, and MUCH of what Hercules 3.x does that's done wrong/incorrectly that SDL Hyperion Hercules 4.4.1 does CORRECTLY. (Herc 3.x contains bugs galore which have all since been corrected in 4.x+) There's really no reason IMO for anyone continuing to run 3.x. None. Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. -- "Fish" (David B.

When I couldn't install Devuan in an old laptop, I went upstream to Debian (which Ubuntu is also based on) and filed a bug report that Debian 6 was installable. In the next version, it was fixed. By the way, Ubuntu 10 has the best user interface; the later attempts to creating something that works on a desktop, cell phone and tablet, as could be predicted, is less than optimal for any.
Upgrade on Debian or Ubuntu can be problematic. Archive the user data (/home of course but mysql squirreled its data in a less than obvious place, and all of /usr and /var could have necessary files, not to mention /etc and all of the application settings) and then cross your fingers. After spending a weekend rebuilding a mail server, the next time I said to myself, of course Ubuntu must have fixed their installer bug - can you guess the result? Which is better, traversing the application dependencies and only delete the files the maintainer says are obsoleted or?just empty the entire spool. In a flash. Debian has problems if you are updating after they have turned off their repositories for the versions, despite you downloading the archives and told your computer to use your local files. One winds up booting up into the standalone shell and informing the system which package is obsoleted and where the updates are. For days. I have a laptop which informs us that Ubuntu 12 is booting but after your log in, tells you that it is really Ubuntu 14. So I left it that way for grins and chuckles. Fedora is better for allowing one to use a local repository mirror, if a bit arcane.
Your problem is probably a lack of device drivers. Finding the right files and moving to the computer with a updated install is a mechanical task. The last laptop I bought needed drivers and while I eventually found them on the web, they are not yet to be found in the distros.

This is the place to ask questions about VM/370 CE, VM/370 Sixpack, and others. 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.

The problem with Hercules 3 and VM/370 CE is the use of VM Assists, also called EPCS:VM (did I get that in the right order?) Herc 3 does not support those, so you would need to turn them off in the configuration file. It is highly unlikely that Hercules 3 will ever have this fixed. ECPSVM????????? NO# Certain assists need to be disabled until Hyperion is fixed.I Hope This Helps. ?... Mark S.

Is it possible that VM is trying to access a device that isn’t there? ?

Hello!
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.

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.

Folks, If its got a PATA drive it is be worth looking at something like this:- ?
? which allows am mSATA SSD to be used in older laptops. I think the laptop must understand LBA but it works fine in my Lenovo T61 but not in my Compaq M700. Dave ?

Don'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.

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

Hi Gregg,?
Jim just how old is this laptop? And, ah, was XP native on it?
I think the laptop was acquired in 2006 or so.? It came with Windows XP installed and has a sticker on it that says it's Vista capable.

Hello Dave,?
I changed ARCHLVL to ARCHMODE (I was getting an error with ARCHLVL) and turned off ECPSVM as Mark suggested.
ALL IS WELL!? X3270 gave me a VM370 screen!
Thanks to all.
Jim
