[SOLVED]Logon hangs before presenting logon screen. #50

Closed larson9999 closed 1 year ago

larson9999 commented 1 year ago

I've installed MVS/CE by untarring the 202 tarball and running the start script. When I attach the 3270 emulator it hangs when I press enter before it presents me with the logon prompt. The working cursor spins forever.

I don't know what information I should provide but here are some things.

  1. OS:ubuntu 22.04
  2. Hercules: built with the latest hercules-helper script.

Running the script should have created the file hercules.log could you please attach that to the issue?

hercules.log

hercules.log

That log file was created using the first installation I tried. When I try to run it now there is no log file created.

I wonder if I'm missing a step. I've tried this again on a new machine and get similar results. Here's what I'm doing.

  1. Download and untar the tarball .
  2. Install hercules via the hercules-helper script. 3.cd to the MVSCE directory.
  3. run start_mvs.sh from the MVSCE tarball.
  4. Connect x3270 to the running mvs.
  5. Hit enter. This is where it hangs and doesn't let me log in.

hercules.log was not created.

finally got this working by installing another version of hercules via hercules-helper

~/hercules-helper/hercules-buildall.sh --auto --flavor=aethra

Random comment here... You may not be aware, the 'develop' branch of SDL-Hercules is not guaranteed to be in working condition at any random point in time. As development proceeds, sometimes there are new or old bugs introduced temporarily. It may not even build correctly on all platforms.

This was solved for me by installing the Jay Mosley version via Hercules Helper.
