Hi all,
I've been away from this for a number of years, trying to get this set up again
from scratch on a mostly up-to-date installation of Gentoo Linux.
Finally got it to actually run properly without protocol errors involving X.org
by reinstalling it with NO_X and NO_GTK. But, I'm stuck with Dosemu for my sysop-only DOS Command Prompt. I followed the Linux/Dosemu guide exactly, and I have done this
before and it's always worked. But, now it does not.
No matter what I set the "Intercept I/O" setting to (Standard, Console or No), it is refusing to capture the DOS console for the terminal. All I get on the terminal is a few errors about missing sound card information and missing /media/cdrom directory (
which is pretty much irrelevant and should be easy enough to solve if I can find where to disable it), and then nothing--while the command prompt appears in a "DOS in a Box" window on the Linux PC. I'm using a separate Windows PC to
connect to it with
SyncTerm. Sure, I can do whatever I need to do in this "DOS in a Box" window on the Linux PC, but that's not always practical for me.
On a second note, I also tried following the directions on how to get rid of that "DOS in a Box" window from showing up, but after creating a Bash script and pointing the appropriate Dosemu path line in sbbs.ini to it, all I get is an error:
Error in commandline: (Line 001) syntax error
1 error(s) detected while parsing the configuration-file
And, nothing actually runs.
Dosemu is version 1.4.0.8 (only version available on Gentoo's Portage)
Sorry about putting two problems in one message, but they could potentially be related.... Any ideas why it won't intercept the I/O from the command prompt, and why I can't get a custom DosEmuPath=/sbbs/xtrn/mydosemu bash script to work?
Thanks
