like to learn where can I find its latest version, better if in rpm.

Dave Yeo uploads his buidls to the ftp server of os2voice:

ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/dooble-2024.01.25.zip for a zipfile, and
ftp://dry@ftp.os2voice.org/rpm/dooble-2024.01.25-1.oc00.pentium4.rpm for a rpm-version

You will be asked for a password when using the above - just fill in a/your own email address.

He bought ArcaOS so that he could test it for himself, but after a lot of effort couldn't figure out what was happening, and he is at a loss of what to do without documentation. Is there any documentation for LVM?

Although he doesn't strictly need LVM - he only needs to get as far as the partition being accepted by ArcaOS so that LVM info can be added.

LVM documentation can be found at Alex Taylor's website: https://altsan.org/os2/toolkits/lvm/index.html

I can not run it, since it says it requires "WPPERSDB".

wppersdb.dll seems to be part of "Personal Card Manager" on ecomstation.ru: https://en.ecomstation.ru/projects/wpperson/?action=history
(back in 2013)

Not that I understand much of your conversation, but I tried the executable on my ArcaOS 5.1.0 VM.
I have this message when I try to run it (Full screen and Windowed version).
Quote
[C:\HOME\MARTIN\Downloads\TEMP]pdptest
SYS0193: C:\HOME\MARTIN\DOWNLOADS\TEMP\PDPTEST.EXE cannot be run in a OS/2
session.

It looks to me that is not a OS/2 binary and it does not hang my system. 

That plus the MZ at the start of the header suggests that maybe pdptest.exe is a DOS program. What happens when you run it in a DOS window?

Thanks Dave.  Why is everything so much more complicated with Arca, ,are they trying to kill off OS/2?

Blame IBM - they introduced LVM in Warp 4 (around Fixpak 13 or so), and hence the same "complication" exists in eCS and AOS.

I can no longer get newly bought USB flash drives to work under ArcaOS 5.1.  In the past, I used the reformat.exe tool from the Essentials Package.  Its license expired.  I have tried formatting with ArcaOS and DFSee to no avail. I always get unknown drive after formatting in Windows or DFSee.  I have to admit I am guessing when using DFSee to format the drives.   What I find strange is both Windows and DFSee recognize it as a fat32 drive, but ArcaOS does not.

My question is what are the proper steps to get properly formatted FAT32 working drives under ArcaOS?

In DFSee: menu Scripts --> Make FAT32 Data (USB) disk
That also adds LVM information, that is needed to be usable under AOS. Just reformatting doesn't add LVM informastion.

Tom thank yo for providing this for testing. I have found that Dobble runs multimedia much better in Windows than Otter or Falcon. Although Windows 11 security balks at the exe. AAnd it runs better than Dobble QT5 in Arca OS.

I didn't build this - this build comes from the creator of Dooble (textbrowser). I only passed along the link where it could be found.

That it runs better than the OS/2 port is not surprising: the OS/2 port of Qt is far from complete, and that is the basis for the OS/2 port of Dooble.

I want to get the latest Windows version of Dooble, but I can not find it on the git. (I already asked the author about that)

Latest version of Dooble for Windows: https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble/releases/download/2023.11.30/Dooble-2023.11.30_Windows.zip

(releasing binaries happens about twice per year, the rest of the releases is source-only)

ic. my version is 0.1.9.1 i686, update to pentium4 was not possible with YUM/ANPM. Maybe need to install the package manually..

In ANPM, use the menu YUM --> Platform to add pentium4 (if it is not already listed). After that, move the line pentium4 to the top (using the buttons on the right side of the window). And restart ANPM (maybe not needed, but it won't hurt).

After that, you should be able to update a package from i686 to pentium4.

in popuplog.os2 I find:
SYS2070 PID 00cc TID 0001 Slot 00c3
C:\Programs\APACHEOFFICE.4\PROGRAM\SOFFICE.BIN
XML22->LIBCN0.2026
182

That suggests that your installed version of libc is not new enough. Which version do you have installed?
The most recent version is libc-0.1.12-1.oc00.pentium4.rpm

"Carlton" ?? From "The fresh prince of Bel-Air"?
More likely named after sir Thomas Hobbes. Perhaps David Rocks, the founder of Hobbes at NMSU, can answer that.

(...) That may be down to the use of CHECKINI.  (Talking of which, has Henk also been kind enough to update his other Regularly Useful util, CLEANINI?)

checkini is from Henk Kelder, but cleanini is from Carsten Arnold.

Setup & Installation / Re: Broken AOS-5.1 Trash Can

The system should be doing automatic archives of the desktop, config.sys etc. Boot and when the white blob appears at the beginning of the boot, press F1, gotta be quick. You will get a menu including a list of archives you can restore. Usually 3 plus the original install one.

You mean Alt + F1 ?
