Dosemu stsrts only one time in Putty

Dosemu stsrts only one time in Putty

[Tomasz Skorupa]

Hi All,
I new on the list so let me say that You do a great job!

As I say in subject i observe strange behavior on Ubuntu Server 8.04 LTS 
with Dosemu installed.
After installation dosemu starts only one time with properly working 
screen on Putty terminal. I see Dosemu welcome message when I invoke it 
via dosemu -t command.
When I exit to linux and start Dosemu again I see only black background 
with cursor block in strange position, but program works ok because when 
I type exitemu I back to linux prompt.
Only machine restart let me run Dosemu again. Exit Putty and start new 
session not work.
Software used:
Linux Ubuntu server 8.04 LTS
Dosemu 1.4.0 from Ubuntu repository installed via aptitude with no 
tweeks in config files.
Putty for Windows version 0.60

Could Yoy give me some direction what I can change to make it working?

Regards,
Tomasz Skorupa

You must restart Linux server, or Windows machine?
Running dosemu directly from Linux server is fine?
What is Your dosemu.conf file?

I never met with something of that kind. From my experience, DOS
applications often behaves weirdly when setting $_dosmem >640, but
this usualy become evident in every session, not only in second+.
I mostly access remote dosemu from other Linux box via "ssh -X" and
thus I'm using xdosemu, but "dosemu -t" works for me too (just tested
on Fedora 15 with dosemu i686 svn.2053 in vm86 mode) - only one thing
seems interesting for me: "mode" command shows (in dependence on
accessing PC window size) values as:
C:\>mode
*** PRINTER PORT 1 STATUS ***
Port status: [  ]
*** PRINTER PORT 2 STATUS ***
Port status: [  ]
*** PRINTER PORT 3 STATUS ***
Port status: [  ]
*** VIRTUAL PRINTER PORT 4 INFORMATION ***
Free for redirection to serial ports.
*** CONSOLE STATUS ***
CON codepage support (FreeDOS DISPLAY) not loaded.
Screen size: 110 columns, 39 rows, mode 3, font height 16.
Switchar is '/'. Numlock is off. Scrolllock is off. Capslock is off.

(110 columns and/or 39 rows are non-standard in DOS world, i'm not
sure when it cannot break some dos apps).

(and second thing, interesting for me, is line "*** VIRTUAL PRINTER ..".
Isn't there in FreeDOS some support for virtual printers which is
missing in DOSEMU? Printing to more than 3 (virtual) printers is
important for me - know somebody about status in FreeDOS and dosemu?)

What Your ~/.dosemu/boot.log ? Tried You compare this between first
and second session? Eventually with fiddling with $_debug setting in
"/etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf".

Best, Franta

I must restart Linux server to make dosemu working again. Restarting 
Windows machine do nothing as logout from Linux and start new session 
with Putty.

I need check this.

As I sad in previous post I don't make changes to default creating by

I include picture with result of mode command execution. You find there 
all informations You want

     Hello.
     Run DOSEmu, then run it once again so that it fails, write 
"exitemu" and then send the file ~/.dosemu/boot.log please, maybe there 
is some information.
     Thanks.

Hello Ivan.
I include two files.
boot.log.fail - this is what You want.
diffrences - fcomp result of compare two files boot.log.success when 
dosemu start ok and boot.log.fail when dosemu starts with black screen.

I check that dosemu -dumb command starts everytime properly

     I just wanted to let you know that I don't know what else to do to 
help you.
     The boot.log file looks ok, also there isn't any meaningful 
difference between the two versions.
     Using -dumb works always.
     It should be some thing with the terminal emulation, but I don't 
know what could it be.
     Anyone else has any suggestion?
     If instead of Putty you run it using another Linux with "xterm" 
does it work always? Can you try a different terminal emulator for 
Windows (Putty is very fine though)?
     Good luck!!!
P.s.: if you fix it, please let us know how you fixed it, so it gets 
stored on the mailing list archives.
