OS/2, eCS & ArcaOS - Technical > Setup & Installation
ArcaOS 5.0.6 released
ivan:
OK, I got round the USBUHCI.SYS hang problem by telling the setup page just to install the XHCD driver and plugging the keyboard and trackball into the USB 3 sockets.
Now, apart from setting all the folders to 'as placed' and to 'not maintain sort order' I have to work out how to get back the standard OS/2 sloped icons - with all due respect to whoever designed the flat icons I don't like them, too much like the uninspired win 10 offering, sorry.

Interesting. I feared that. Disabling always sort and changing the icon theme belong to the first things I configure. Unfortunately, there exists no way to get the icon positions back as before, IIRC. Maybe it helps to disable that before opening the first folder with the WPS. Instead of the blue folder icons, I use the standard eCS theme. It works for all, except for the Network folder. I remember that the ITheme format has changed and adapted it, but didn't try more.

When starting, ANPM prompts for my AN repository subscription IDs and PWs, and then throws a Python Error "The Python interpreter terminated with error code 123. I also tried to rebuild the RPM database and received the popup error VX-REXX "DosConnectNPipe".

This issue was due to the installation process adding the following to my config.sys:
SET COMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /K C:\OS2\NUMON.EXE
This was derived from my existing entry:
SET OS2_SHELL=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE /K C:\OS2\NUMON.EXE
Changing to the following resolved my error:
SET COMSPEC=C:\OS2\CMD.EXE

The internal connections can change, when the X controller is added to the mix. Perhaps that is where the problem lies.

This also points to a problem with the internal routing. Report the problem.

What is NUMON.EXE? There is no such thing in ArcaOS. Report the problem, but they can't support everything that a user adds to the mix. Was that line in your original CONFIG.SYS? Very few lines actually get changed, if the install completed successfully.

This was in my config.sys when I upgraded from 5.0.4 to 5.0.5, but it only became an issue upgrading from 5.0.5 to 5.0.6. Numlock2 is licensed by Mensys and is not distributed by Arca Noae; it turns on numlock.
