mouse in midnight commander (mc); alternate screen
Dear list, I would like to use the mouse in the midnight commander running in xterm in X11. However, mouse does not seem to do anything other than in the xterm terminal itself. I did not find any clue in the man page. I tried running like mc -x mc -g but to no avail. Furthermore, I would also like to use ctrl-o to get to the alternate screen (or subshell). At the moment, ctrl-o hides the panels but does not give the prompt. Can anybody help, please? I run 7.6 GENERIC.MP#338 amd64. Thank you. Ruda
DNS resolution when 1st nameserver does not know
Dear list, my computer is connected to a LAN, from which it obtains its IP and also local-DNS-server IP via DHCP. The latter is then inserted into /etc/resolv.conf by, I believe, resolvd. The computer is furthermore connected via wireguard VPN to another network with its own DNS server, serving the local IPs there. The DNS server in my LAN, of course, does not know the (non-public) IPs in the remote network. However, as it comes 1st in /etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver that comes next (I manually added it to the file) --- and which would know the answer --- is never asked. I can stop resolvd and use the DNS server within the VPN for all the traffic. But I'd still prefer to have most of the work done by the local DNS server, and only if it doesn't know I would ask the server in the VPN. Is there anything simple I can do? Thank you for your comments. Best regards, Ruda
tmux: mouse works in st but not in xterm
Dear list, when I run tmux in xterm, the mouse support does not work. When I run tmux in the st terminal, mouse support is functional (e.g., I can resize the panes). Can somebody perhaps have a clue, what can be going on? On linux, there is no problem in xterm. I also renamed ~/.Xdefaults to get any settings there out of the game, tried to set TERM to the same value as st uses, but all to no avail. I do not know what to try next. Thanks! Ruda PS.: I do have set -g mouse on in ~/.tmux.conf; that's why mouse works in st.

a2ps error; printing utf8 to a postscipt printer
Dear list, after upgrading to OpenBSD 7.4 (as far as I can tell), a2ps program stopped working: ;a2ps /home/ruda/mnt/tarkil/SIMUL/acceptance/accept1detE0.ijs [/home/ruda/mnt/tarkil/SIMUL/acceptance/accept1detE0.ijs (plain): 2 pages on 1 sheet] Usage: a2ps-lpr-wrapper [-d printer] FILE... a2ps: received SIGPIPE It seems to me that a2ps-lpr-wrapper expects a FILE argument, while a2ps (which invokes the wrapper?) does not supply one... Has anybody else had this issue? Thanks for comments. Loosely related: What program do you use to print utf8 encoded text file to a postscipt printer? (Neither a2ps, nor enscript does it. At this moment I either remove any diacritics with 'recode -f utf8..flat ...', or open the file in gedit and print from there. I heard there is 'paps' and 'cedilla' programs, but neither is in ports and I failed to compile the former as cloned from github.) Ruda
pdfsig alternative to check digital signatures in pdf documents
Dear list, on linux there is often a program called 'pdfsig', which can check validity of digital signatures of various parts of a pdf document. What is the alternative on OpenBSD (I thought pdfsig would be a part of poppler-utils, but it is not)? Thank you for any comments. Best regards, Ruda

After upgrading to OpenBSD to 7.3 today, the operation started to work in chrome, so the key seems to be useable for me now. (I only encountered a minor difficulty to actually start chrome. It did not start the first time due to some trap, nor the second time, but then it finally started. This behaviour is daunting, but, in the end, the process succeeded.) I do not know why the use of the key did not work before the upgrade, but anyhow. Regarding the question about the PIN: To the extent I understand the PIN is a requirement by the security level to be used. I use the key to communicate with the state (public administration). There the condition is given that the PIN is to be used. Best regards, Ruda

Dear list, I have a USB hardware security key GoTrust Idem Key and while I can use it on linux in a chromium browser to login to some services -- you have to input a PIN number and then touch the key -- it seems to not work on OpenBSD (neither chrome nor firefox).

some simple way to serve videos?
Hello, until now I have www-served (httpd) my photos using, as it seems to me, a very simple way: into a directory with photos I copied a file called gallery.html taken from https://github.com/gfwilliams/ThinGallery . This created a browsable gallery of photos (using a web browser and over the internet), simple enough for my mom to orient in and use. Is there any similar way so that I could serve also video files? Thanks for any comments / recommendations. (I want something that lives on my machine. I know there are some 'big' frameworks, perhaps MediaGoblin, Serviio; also I could perhaps run a docker with minnich under a virtual machine runing linux. But is there something easy and available on OpenBSD?) Best regards, Ruda

Ok. Thanks. Finally it does work for me, too. What I did not realize (but it makes sense in the backsight), is that I *have to* specify the 'root' part (the /) if I want to list the library paths. I read the usage to say the [root] is optional. [A usage something like lddtree [ [library_path [library_path] ... ]] would make it clear to me from the beginning, although I do not know if people ever write it like that.] Thanks again. Ruda
