Hello Conrad

If you can share the pictures of your boxes it will be great. Those editions I don't have it on the wiki, so they are welcome.
Please, if you can list the items on each box with the part numbers, or have it clearly on the picture it will be great too.

Regards

Hello

EDM/2 is still down, but I noticed that now it is blank instead of showing the database error.

I hope Adrian (netlabs) gets this soon.

Hello Nathan

Welcome back.

I'm also sorry, I currently give access to the forum manually after checking for suspicious spam accounts. I got behind this last week.

Thanks to all for the support. Let's have a great Warpstock this weekend.

Richard, I will be taking to the board about the ideas for future Warpstocks. Thanks.

Virtualization / Re: VirtualBox: Can't copy files to a shared folder under ArcaOS guest

« on: September 22, 2024, 06:13:41 pm »

- I think USB drivers used to work, but I have to check it out again.

I just Set my USB Mic and USB printer to the VM and it shows in ArcaOS lsusb

[C:\]lsusb
Bus 000 Device 001: ID 046d:0ab7 Logitech, Inc.
Bus 000 Device 002: ID 04b8:1135 Seiko Epson Corp.

I guess it is passing by.

Hello

Are you able to use multiple CPU's? with the 5.0.x additions? How about USB devices?

- I don't use Multiple CPUs with VirtualBox, just one. In the past it was unstable for me, but I haven't tried it lately.
- I think USB drivers used to work, but I have to check it out again. I have an USB mic that I used on the VM, but I don't remember if it is recognized as USB or SoundBlaster input in ArcaOS. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhqUc0VLqok)

I use all the 5.0.x Addons package, if I mix them I get problems with the VBoxService.exe executable. And also Valerius says on the instructions to put "RUN=c:\os2additions\VBoxService.exe" on the config.sys.

I hope that Valerius can try to update his Addons with the latest VirtualBox code someday.

Regards

Virtualization / Re: VirtualBox: Can't copy files to a shared folder under ArcaOS guest

Hello

Here it is working, host Win 10, guest ArcaOS 5.1. Virtualbox 7.1.0 (Recently installed)

But I'm using Valery's Guest Addons 5.0.x, since they provide me WPS support for shared folders with the guest. Is this integration already available on the official addons? I haven't checked those in a while.

Sorry, no Linux experience here.

t could perhaps be a way for Warpstock to bring in the remote folks (and get them up to parity with being there?), and a way for others and I to officially support the Warpstock conferences, if we can't actually get there in person in a given year ...

Thanks a good suggestion. We already talked about on the Warpstock board in the past but I will insist on this idea on the next meeting.

Regards

Hi JTA

IRC ... seems to require "yet another logon account and login process".

IRC on Libera chat does not requiere any login and password.

Try https://web.libera.chat/#Warpstock by yourself, you only put your nickname and that's all.
You can later use the chatbot if you want to reserve your nickname with a password, but that is completely optional.

Hello JTA

If there is an speaker that would like to make remote session, we usually do it with Skype. Is you interest to give a presentation remotely? Please contact Neil to set you a time slot.

From the side of the viewer, I usually take question from the IRC channel on Libera chat. https://web.libera.chat/#Warpstock or point your IRC client to irc://irc.libera.chat/#Warpstock.

Thanks for the reply Dave.
I celebrate the effort of porting it, even if it is not as good as we all want, we need to start with something

Hello

I'm running Otter on a ArcaOS 5.1 VM guest. I haven't touched anything related to ACPI.

Testing it a little bit further, I got a problem with github repos, like: https://github.com/OS2World/UTIL-ARCHIVER-QuickWPI
It is like it does not stop loading, the bottom bar remains in 100% but does not goes away like it uses to when it finish loading a page.

On the console I get:

Code: [Select]

Unimplemented code.
qt.qpa.mime: isDelayed true
qt.qpa.mime: convert to format f63d "text/unicode" flags 400 data 0 isDelayed tr
ue ok true
qt.qpa.mime: convert to format 1 "#1" flags 400 data 0 isDelayed true ok true
qt.qpa.mime: convert to format 1 "#1" flags 400 data 10ed0000 isDelayed false ok
 true
Later it crashes with the log I'm attaching.

Hi

It sounds like you'll very likely have them all though since mine will all be either English (UK) or English (US) versions.

What it will be helpful, if you have  it in your collection and can easily identified which version are English (UK) or English (US), please double check if the I had mark them correctly on the Wiki.
