Any of the vncservers in Debian can work without a display and can do what you want ... if that is any help. Can a VNC client start in Oberon / Aos? Aos.Call AosVNC.Open ip:p ~ gives frozen pointer.

In trying to use OHCI, I've found that my naive attempt to compile doesn't work. Can Aos modules be compiled from within ETH Oberon / Aos 08.06.05? Thanks, ... Peter E. Desktops.OpenDoc http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/

Multiple VNC clients connecting to Bluebottle?

I don't have the hardware around to try it, but does anyone know if you can have multiple simultaneous VNC users connecting to a single Bluebottle workstation, or do you run into window focus and cursor control issues? -Jack

Hi Bob & Christian, sounds really interesting, thanks for the link to the dissertation. Is it included/planned for inclusion in BlueBottle?

Odeon

Hello, I am searching for the sourcecode or any further information on the Odeon database project. <http://www.cs.inf.ethz.ch/group/wirth/projects/odeon/> I read Jacques Supcik's thesis and it appears very interesting. About two years ago there was a short discussion on this list about databases and Odeon but as far as I know nothing turned up. I tried to contact Jacques at his address at supcik.net which looked promising but did not get an answer (yet). Any hints on Odeon or similar Oberon style databases would be appreciated. Greetings, Christian

Re (2): [Oberon] network connection in Aos

Thomas, > The Oberon application runs as a command that only terminates when > Oberon is terminated. Thanks. Will think about what Aos is doing. > Try renumbering the Boot commands so as to run all Aos commands before > Oberon. E.g. renumber Boot9 to Boot8 and Boot2 to Boot9. That works. AutoStart appears non-essential for the Oberon interface; I commented it out and started the Oberon with Boot9. Evolution of Aos.Par in future releases will be interesting. > Alternatively you can also start the network setup in the Oberon.Text. Last choice.

network connection in Aos
by shark＠gulfnet.sd64.bc.ca 01 Jul '05

Now the only obstacle for Aos here is the network connection. Native Oberon works fine; no doubt that the hardware is OK. The Aos.Par is visible with Desktops.OpenDoc http://carnot.pathology.ubc.ca/Aos.Par . The Kernel.Log is appended. In startup, the last action in Aos.Par which appears is Boot2="AosOberonInput;System.Init" . The Oberon interface works. The loopback device is not installed and nothing after that in Aos.Par has effect. Did anyone find such a problem? Any suggestions?
