reactos-general Mailing List for ReactOS

Hi, staff of ReactOS.
I am Daniel Bruno, an user of ReactOS.
I used ReactOS v66665 and found the following issues with it:
1- Software (Oracle) jre7u76 (win-x86) installs in it, but when I execute a jar file, it tells:Error: opening registry key 'Software\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment'Error: could not find java.dllError: Could not find Java SE Runtime Environment.
2- Software 'Dev-Cpp 5.8.3 TDM-GCC 4.8.1 Setup.exe' doesn't install, because it tries to unpack but a ReactOS System Error occurs and a blue screen appears...

The links for the softwares of these issues are:Java SE Runtime Environment 7 - Downloads | Oracle Technology Network | Oracle

I want to use FreeLoader on my machine. I have 2 disks. On first disk
i have dos partition on which i have installed FreeLoader. On same
disk in this or another partition i want to setup reactos. On the
second disk i have 2 partitions: WinXP NTFS boot partition and OpenBSD
boot partition. One way to go is to boot from first disk (freeldr) and
then switch to OpenBSD, WinXP or ReactOS. I don't know why, but OpenBSD
runs ok, but WinXP doesn't want to boot. I get empty black screen and
computer doesn't respond. This is with:

BootType=Partition
BootDrive=0x81
BootPartition=2

The other way i've tried is to boot from WinXP and using its boot menu
to boot FreeLoader, but it looks that bootsector code cannot find
freeldr.sys

Help please, Nedko

# Xnest :1 -query 10.0.0.2

works beautifully. Thanks for your help Robert.

Great. I got Xnest installed, but still same problem:
# Xnest -query 10.0.0.2

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0

You need to tell xnest what display number it will have. IIRC it's
-screen 1 that you need.

Sure it is. Make sure you have xdm or gdm running on the server, then
Fire up a Xnest session with -query. Voila, one server in a window.

Moving to reactos-general...

Yes, that is certainly faster. I think Windows XP's Remote Desktop
feature was designed for tech support. Users can request technical
support from their system administrator. Normally the administrator
would then trow everything in his hands away and run down to the user to
offer his assistance ;-) With remote Remote Desktop the administrator
can connect to the user's machine remotely and guide the user through
whatever the user was trying to do (and have the user look at what the
administrator is doing).

I have a 400MHz server running Linux Mandrake 8.1 and my 700MHz laptop
has the same OS. I don't use Remote X to administer the server because
it is too difficult. I would like to see the server desktop on my laptop
in a window, but this is not possible with X or with Windows XP's Remote
Desktop. That way I can just minimize the window when I need access to
my laptop. If I want to see the server desktop on my laptop, I need to
logout and restart X to connect to the server. This is a pain in the ass
to do so I don't do this. If I start a single graphical application
remotely on the server it takes too long to come up on the screen of my
laptop (ssh2/100Mbit Ethernet). kwrite (a simple text editor) takes
about 11 seconds. I'm too impatient for this so I usually use vim
instead.

It might have seemed to some of you that I stopped my work.
That's right. But it was only for ca 2 weeks of vacation that I was on.

There's a lot to read now...and I have still a pending discussion about
file system structure. Right Hyper ?

I have been asked how to run ReactOS on VmWare. Anyone here has tried? If 
someone can give me detailed instructions I can try to update the tutorials too

Just a note to let everyone know that some of the
common folk do understand the crap that Microsoft does
and they want to help us. 

One of the guys I do contract work for (Larry Robinson
owner of Star Textiles in Greenville SC) donated a
SONY DTS-9000 12/24 Gig DAT drive to reactos.org
today. 

The box that will be reactos.org is up at
http://reactos.dhs.org and is still needing work.
Jason will be setting up the rosprog code soon and I
will be doing some of the admin work. My time is short
due to my work on the wine port and other projects so
if someone else that is a long time supporter of
ReactOS with good linux admin skill wants to help,
please let us know.

Thanks for everything guys
Steven

Can you give us an anticipation of rosproj?
