    Other Windowmaker traps the up key to show the desktop pager on default installation

    Thanks, that got rid of it! I have a slim ansi keyboard, I don't have print screen key. That may be the reason. Good I didn't have to disable key shortcuts because I do use them extensively.

    Other Windowmaker traps the up key to show the desktop pager on default installation

    8 on numeric keypad works fine. There is no config of any kind going on. startx `which wmaker` over fresh installation up arrow trapped to show the pager. startx `which xterm` up arrow working fine.

    Other Windowmaker traps the up key to show the desktop pager on default installation

    War of the workstations: How the lowest bidders shaped today's tech landscape – Liam Proven, The Register

    As far as I know COBOL is a very simple language but the ecosystem it runs over is thorough and very domain specific. This article https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/04/20/brush-up-your-cobol-why-is-a-60-year-old-language-suddenly-in-demand/ Completely fails to address the issue and depicts...

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    I have the same as you. I hear that Microsoft has way better results in making organizations move to their new model than the orgs have power over the vendor. Office365 moving is being done all around and it's being done in government agencies in Europe too. Actually, I was referring to the...

    2024: The year of desktop FreeBSD?

    Desktop is a dead concept. It used to mean "a computer capable of running latest application software, targeted towards end-users". Nowadays when most favoured proprietary OS is a half-online thing with its own app store pushing people to use "cloud" software, it's a bit defunct to speak about...

    Cannot access FreeBSD forums from FreeBSD :))

    SirDice I sent you PM, booted back to BSD and now it works. Did you do anything on your side?

    Cannot access FreeBSD forums from FreeBSD :))

    I think I do. And I'm pretty sure time on the desktop clock is correct. Consider that I have no problems whatsover in connecting to any other site. I don't see what SSL magic could be in the TCP layer.

    Cannot access FreeBSD forums from FreeBSD :))

    As you can see from the trace the other side doesn't want to TCP handshake with me. It ACK's my SYN and then RSTs. So when I put that URL in the browser I immediately get connection error, just as that netcat session dies immediately. P.S. the entire freebsd.org infrastructure works, ports...

    Cannot access FreeBSD forums from FreeBSD :))

    I think this happened when I updated packages a month ago and they weren't touched for a few months. On 13. Well I don't know what to say. forums.freebsd.org does not work under FreeBSD but it does under Windows on same machine. In both cases, networking is trivial, DHCP only no firewalls, no...

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    I remember where I was with who I was when I read those news, I was in my company and discussing it with colleagues. I remember details of the projects I did 15 years ago. "Refusing to provide links", so you did a search, came with nothing, and I failed to deliver? Where I refused exactly? I...

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    Exactly where did you pick up that I vaguely remember? I don't remember anything vaguely regarding computers. "Actually wasn't Italy the one to overrule Microsoft's forcing of the OEMs to have Windows installations on all laptops? They (MS) were claiming hardware is useless without OS therefore...

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    Well if I made a claim FreeBSD supports something would you require me to automatically point you to the git commit? We're not discussing anything important, we're on a side topic. It is something I remember. Do you trust your memory? Did you ever post something out of your past experience...

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    Piracy depends on where you are. The high GDP countries don't have much piracy.

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    astyle good thing to have in head is that MS is a monopolist in several spaces (OS, office suite, formerly browser too) and has had rules and regulations applied to it that wouldn't affect others in a normal market position. Which is OK. Crivens on the other side OEMs did want those profits...

    What do you think about the foundation of a FUG ?

    Are you really asking me for links for some event I've read about 15 years ago? And no, Microsoft claimed what they claimed so they could punish OEMs that don't charge for a mandatory windows installation on the laptop, but put FreeDOS on it and let the user install what they want. If you buy...

    Scan codes for keys

    I think you can do that in few lines of ncurses/C, and it'll be system-portable. initscr(); noecho(); cbreak(); timeout(10); int ch; while(1) { ch = getch(); if(ch != ERR) { printf("Key : "%s\n", keyname(ch)); refresh(); } } From head, didn't try. If you put this in a C file...
