Does anyone who run's Mystic under linux have a write up on getting dosemu running properly.

I've tried all the stuff listed in the docs folder and I get dosemu running
but it looks like there is a fossil issue as nothing is coming across the terminal.

I am also having issues with Mystic under Ubuntu Server and dosemu.

When I launch the door I get the following error:
"error: unknown window sizes li=0 co=0, setting to 80x25"
And after this it gets jammed and I need to close the telnet session.

All info I found is that dosemu needs a GUI to work under Mystic.
If someone knows a workaround it would be great as my VPN where I want to run the BBS is only text based and I do not want to install a GUI due to low resources nor switch to Windows VPN due to costs at this moment.

You can prevent this by using 'stty' - as an example, here's how I launch
LORD:
stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -I"serial { com 1 virtual }" "/doors/lord/start.bat" %N /DOS

Note that all of the above is on one line.

Not true, no worries. You can use DOSEMU just fine without a GUI of any sort. My server is headless.

Adding stty & some permissions changed in the mystic folder did the trick. Thank you Esc :)

I must have missed that setting in DOSEMU.

I run xvfb currently, and when trouble shooting doors I use vnc.

Take care,

You don't need a GUI at all. You need to prefix you data statement with
"ssty cols 80 rows 25"

So it should lool like this:

stty cols 80 rows 25 && dosemu -I"serial {.......
