Applications / Re: Thunderbird - SM email makes system trap in Warp 4.52 but ok in Arcaos5

Mauro, what color depth is your system using? Try changing it. Eg if using 16 million colours, chamge to 64K or the opposite.
It's really weird that both SM and TB are crashing the kernel at the same point. Are they both i686 builds? If not you should try the i686 builds.

Hi Roderick, I've been marking the Mozilla DLL's to load high for years, didn't have problems on freshly booted systems, after a few days things would go south.

Here are the Sysbench Results.

Warp 3, Red Spine, no Fixpac, "as is"
Emulated PC: AMD DX4 120 MHz, 32 MB RAM, S3Trio Grafic

I have not looked into transferring Data between Emulation/Host, so only Screenshots so far.

Should even though give a picture of it.

made all what suggested, no improve.
Seamonkey.exe opens the browser, if start composing a new message (FILE menu) it let me do it, but goes in system trap as I try to open the Mail & Newsgroup window (WINDOWS menu) see message in the attached picture.
Repeat, it has worked OK since time ago, unfortunately I ignore after which software/installation has stopped to work properly.
I feel something related to QT5 stuff introduced for Dooble installation, but however made same on ArcaOS and no issue there
Thank you

If ANY DLL is marked to load high. ONLY do this on ArcaOS installaitons with recent kernels.
If a program exists when loaded high (by exiting or crashing) the change it high it will take your MCP 4.52 system down.

Another fix in the ArcaOS kernel is that when DLL are loaded high the memory is actually released.

Note to run any QT 5 or QT 6 based browser (dooble). You NEED to load the webskit DLL in high memory. Otherwhise the lower shared kernel memory is exhausted to quickly.

Hello mauro,

...Just to point, I have installed Thunderbird 45.8 pentium4 to see what happens, it behaves exactly the same: it let mi begin to configure a profile plus the account, then at the moment to display the folders pane, the system goes away (trap).
Also in Seamonkey browser, it perfectly works till the request to go in the email folders pane.
No problem, I will survive without.

Can you provide a step-by-step instructions to replicate this?

Here is why I ask:

1) FF & TB installs here: they coexist very peacefully, and normally after a good 5 days of runtime I usually hard-kill FF because it grows to over 1G RAM consumption...re-starts brings it back and no issues

2) This last post of yours seems to indicate this issue can be replicated in my configuration as well (FF & TB), so I'd like to try this but w/o making any assumptions, thus the ask for 'step-by-step' instructions

I do have a 4.52 SMP install here, so the UNI vs SMP thing is certainly going to introduce a variable.

For what it's worth, here are the releases I'm running:

1) FF - 45.9.0

Thanks Paul, this QT 6.2.11 is working with Dooble as well as 6.2.10 now. Scribus is much better too - only thing I see is on the File->Preferences->Plugins page all the plugins are listed like: 'C:/Programs/Scribus6.8/plugins//barecodeg.dll' - there is a double '//' at the end of the path, and 'How to Run' is blank and 'Type' is 'unknown'. Maybe just cosmetic.

Regards,

Info: Since adding qt webengine parameter  " --disable-highres-timer" into my starting process, I could remove my priority setting and have a working dooble with QT6.2.10  (faster youtube start and more stable during video change)
Current parameter I'm using:
"--disable-gpu --ignore-certificate-errors --ignore-ssl-errors --log-level=1 --disable-highres-timer"
And into config.sys
set NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1

Do you have (into config.sys) ?
SET NSPR_OS2_NO_HIRES_TIMER=1

now tried this as well, no change.
Just to point, I have installed Thunderbird 45.8 pentium4 to see what happens, it behaves exactly the same: it let mi begin to configure a profile plus the account, then at the moment to display the folders pane, the system goes away (trap).
Also in Seamonkey browser, it perfectly works till the request to go in the email folders pane.

Yep... move unicodenameslist.txt from \scribus\share\scribus\unicodenameslist.txt to \scribus\share

OK found the scribus bug causing this.... I guess maybe win32 doesn't use cmake install for packaging....

https://smedley.id.au/tmp/scribus-1.7.0svn-os2-qt6-6.8.x-20250119.zip fixes some packaging issues....

ok https://smedley.id.au/tmp/qt6-6.2.11-qtwebengine-6.2.6-os2-20250119.zip is refreshed with a qt6weben.dll that doesn't depend on system icu....
