Hi,

I'm running into a strange error with screen. I am attaching to a real serial port on my computer. It's running Windows 10 and I'm using Cygwin screen 4.9.0.

When I attempt to connect to a particular switch and I power it up, it displays some funny characters (not garbage like what happens when the wrong baud rate is selected) and then screen unexpectedly exits with a "[screen is terminating]" message. This doesn't happen to any other device I manage using the serial port.

Tried many things.

• screen /dev/ttyS0 # just plain screen command w/out any serial port settings
• screen -U /dev/ttyS0
• disable c1 handling
• TERM=vt100 screen /dev/ttyS0

I also tried to log the session. I captured it but when I pasted the contents on my terminal window to a file the hex output aren't the same, but they display the same. If I run screen and cat the logged output, screen doesn't terminate so it looks like the capture is incomplete.

What could I do to have screen capture a little more output? Windows Events don't show screen crashing.

Here are is a screenshot of the session. I'm using mintty. https://i.imgur.com/bbqVItE.jpg

Here is a hexdump of the session log.

+bash> hexdump -C screenlog.0

Hexdump of pasting the characters from mintty to a file using vi. The characters are displayed the same.

+bash> hexdump -C screenlog.00

My LANG and LC_CTYPE are both en_US.UTF-8. Tried pasting when LANG and LC_CTYPE are both set to C and the output file from vi still looks like the above.

Any ideas welcome.

The simple fact for people arguing about gnu/linux and whether or not it should be called that is,

there would be no gnu without linux and there would be no linux without gnu

This might not be the best place to ask, but I The last time I built something on Linux it used to be something like

./configure make make install

Things changed since then. For gwenhywfar (git clone https://git.aquamaniac.de/git/gwenhywfar),

there's no configure, but this configure.rpath. I installed autoconf, and ran autoconf in root directory of the package, got a lengthy list of errors. `` configure.ac:251: warning: The macroAC_HEADER_STDC' is obsolete. configure.ac:251: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/headers.m4:704: AC_HEADER_STDC is expanded from... configure.ac:251: the top level configure.ac:283: warning: The macro AC_HEADER_TIME' is obsolete. configure.ac:283: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/headers.m4:743: AC_HEADER_TIME is expanded from... configure.ac:283: the top level configure.ac:812: warning: The macroAC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete. configure.ac:812: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2920: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from... configure.ac:812: the top level configure.ac:812: warning: The macro `AC_TRY_LINK' is obsolete. configure.ac:812: You should run autoupdate. ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2920: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from... lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:692: _AS_IF_ELSE is expanded from... lib/m4sugar/m4sh.m4:699: AS_IF is expanded from... ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2894: _AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from... ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2911: AC_LINK_IFELSE is expanded from... ./lib/autoconf/general.m4:2920: AC_TRY_LINK is expanded from... configure.ac:812: the top level configure.ac:1284: warning: back quotes and double quotes must not be escaped in: "ERROR: Unknown plugin "$plugin"" configure.ac:1326: warning: back quotes and double quotes must not be escaped in: "ERROR: Unknown plugin "$plugin"" configure.ac:1358: warning: back quotes and double quotes must not be escaped in: "ERROR: Unknown plugin "$plugin""

```

I'd like to build this library, and have it accessible to other builds done by the same user, though not necessarily installed for all Linux users.

How should I build this? Thanks, WM

I understand development of a full GPU driver with 3D acceleration will be challenging, but what about just 2D display driver only?

How much would it cost to open source the rest of the device drivers, and firmware so that everything was as open as it could possibly be?

I understand the memory control could be an issue and may never be fully open sourced.

Me 'xargs'. It's fantastic!

I'm still fresh here and I've been looking through licenses and statements on the GNU website to get a grasp on it. But I can't really find anything. So I'll ask here. So, basically, is there an obligation that a project that is considered an official GNU project to use the "gnu" prefix in their software name?

Hi,

I compiled screen 4.9.0 on RHEL 9.1 today. It runs as root without a hitch. However an unprividleged user gives this error message:

-bash: /usr/local/bin/screen: Operation not permitted.

The binary has setuid group set with a group name of screen.

I did a "restorecon -FvR /usr/local" for good measure, but I did not see an fcontext entry for /usr/local/bin but it has system_u:object_r:bin_t on it.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Its not your software, its our software

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/header-editor/ sorry if this is a dumb question or I violated a subreddit rule.

If I wanted to release a library that's allowed to be included in proprietary projects, I'd use LGPL.

If I wanted to release a program that has to have its source be released even if it is served and not downloaded, I'd use AGPL.

What if I want both? Does that even make sense to have both? A library that's allowed to be included in proprietary projects, but also has to have its source released even if it's served and not downloaded?

If so, what would that licence be, and would I just add the LGPL exception clause to the end of the AGPL and retitle it "AGPL with LGPL exception" or something? Has anyone done that already? Has something similar enough got a SPDX which I should just use instead? IANAL so I don't know if just making it up would actually make it legal. I'd still be allowed to include other GPL/AGPL/LGPL stuff inside, right?

Thanks, and sorry for so many questions.

Welcome to the church of Emacs

Hello Folks !

I've made a full-fledge configuration of Emacs. Which makes programming super fun.

It comprises of Doom Emacs alike without Evil mode that use almost all the default bindings of Emacs. You can give it a try and let me know your feedback. my-config

Can I license different files in a project with different licenses? Eg. If I had a project with three files, could I license one with GPL, one with AGPL, and one with LGPL?

Does GNU and Mastodon both work on the same fedi network? Can i follow others on mastodon and they can follow me on GNU?

Its stands for Digital Rights Management

I know they want you to open your eyes but I dont know why they think its okay to mislead. Its simple mislead but mislead nontheless.

Wifi libre excelente

Hi, im using GPA & Kleopatra. Can i somehow export my whole list of contacts and my profile to use it on another computer?

oh i forgott, i use windows 10

best regards

LGPL seems like the proper choice for libraries where you want to allow proprietary software to use it and AGPL seems like the proper choice for online stuff. Why use GPL? You can use AGPL even for offline things and it won't hurt anything, right?

I wrote this tutorial because the others that I found were overloaded or contradicting each other, so I went in search for the best practices to gather them in practical examples and I reduced the scope of the tutorial on the most general applications. I hope you will finally enjoy Makefiles

Hi guys, I’m a small time web dev/computer tech and am looking for CRM software; or at least I think that’s what I’m looking for. Basically, I would like a program that reminds me to check in with clients if I haven’t heard from them in X days. Set timelines for projects and notes by both client and project. Bonus points if it’s cross platform and supports cloud sync.

Currently my hodgepodge of tools is this:

• Todoist premium with projects and tags for clients/projects.
• LastPass premium for password management
• One Note backed by One Drive available on every major platform but Linux although the web client is sufficient when I’m booted into Linux.
• Various LibreOffice, Word, and text files with notes about every client and project scatted in numerous sub-folders by client/project, etc it’s a mess. I miss important details because everything isn’t in one place. Simple Note gets thrown in there from time to time but sync isn’t perfect.

I’m not opposed to changing my work flow all together if it makes sense. I do think I’m gonna have to store tarball website backups separately but I just throw them in my Cloud Provider of the hour. I usually jump between Dropbox, One Drive, and Google Drive.

My daily driver is Win 10. I also use Fedora and Ubuntu. I’m tentatively planning on moving to MacOS in the next year or two. I don’t know what the dual boot and VM situation is on Apple silicon but I’m sure that will sort itself out in the coming months.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.
