Re: Issues Running MTS on SDL Hercules (Hyperion) 4.x - Summary of Trials

You’re not going to believe this (or maybe some will).

?

I’m used to trying long shots to get things to work, and I came up with an idea and said “… nah – that can’t be it”.

?

So, I’m using Vista TN3270 and my 3270 terminal software.? I was wondering if that was causing the issue somehow.

?

So, I got a different program.

?

I started Hercule 4.7 on my Ubuntu AWS instance and connected with the new software and … the system starts just fine and runs.

?

So, somehow, the Vista 3270 software -> Hercules 4.x? -> MTS is a bad combination.

?

Bizarre.

?

What TN3270 software do you all use? The one that I have that works is Mocha TN3270, but it has hideos fonts.

Subject: Issues Running MTS on SDL Hercules (Hyperion) 4.x - Summary of Trials

?

Thought I would migrate this discussion over to the MTS list as the Hercules list is too general.

?

So, I have had no luck running the standard d6.0A MTS distribution under any type of VM.

?

It does work fine on all of these machines/VMs using Hercules 3.06 and 3.13

?

All of my SDL Hercules builds were built with the “hercules-helper” scripts which builds the current devel branch (currently 4.7).

?

Systems I have tried:

?

Ubuntu 22.04 on AWS

NetBSD 9.3 running on an Antsle VM Box.

CentOS 7 running on an Antsle VM Box.

?

I haven’t had time yet to haul out one of my old rack servers to install NetBSD or Ubuntu on bare hardware, but may try that soon.

?

I’m going to get the lbltp program now and capture the super dump. If anyone knows how I can look at this or if someone wants to see it, let me know.

?

I don’t mind digging into this, being a programmer of? 40 years, but not sure which thread to start pulling on.? If anyone has an idea of what might cause this to fail in virtual environments, let me know.? I will follow any clues.

?

Thanks
