I googled this and found for instance https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=538432 Have a look at at reply 27 - what do you have in "vm.mmap_min_addr" ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

thank you v.m.
i have read reply 27 : [snip] - as root , have run :
sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0\n
Better without '\n': sysctl -w vm.mmap_min_addr=0 Sorry, that reply #27 needs a bit more interpretation, mea culpa. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I don't think the problem is in dosemu - it's fairly mature software, I wouldn't expect much development to be happening. If you can, maybe go back to the previous kernel you were running? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm, I'm running out of things to suggest. It's probably worth a bug report. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (3.9°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

My gut says it's some silly setting that has changed, somewhere. dosemu in TW is _very_ mature. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.9°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Sorry for post private i somtimes hit the wrong button.... Only another suggestion, have you tried dosemu with a new user? (if there would be some conf files soemwhere at user, they would not be overwritten if you uninstall and install again) and/or check if there are some conf files in etc or somewhere else. check in yast the filelist of dosbox for locations where it could be (man could help also) i have only installed dosbox here, an it is running at tumbleweed 20191011 simoN -- www.becherer.de -- www.becherer.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
