Re: Problem with dosemu

Hi Frantisek,

This is an update.

No progress. Dosemu is not working.

Your rpm loads, dosemu command produces a black screen with a white 
block cursor and no prompt. It is unresponsive.


Compiled 1.4 produces white screen and no prompt It is unresponsive, 
Ctr-C will stop it and brings me back to bash prompt.

No error messages in either case. Please note that I installed rpm to a 
clean system, i.e. no dosemu files or directories. Also, before 
compiling 1.4 I uninstalled rpm and cleaned out dosemu files and 
dierctories, so again, started with a clean system.

I saw nothing in log files, so I don't know how to proceed and find out 
what is going on. I checked processes running on the 1.4 installation: 
ps before and whiledosemu was running. See below:

Note: I can run dosbox through ssh from another linux installation. I 
would like to run dosemu from my own system.

Can you or anybody else help to debug the situation?

Thanks,

Janos
