Hi Pete, as far as I know, no sound in DOS now a days, hasn't been since basically ISA days.
Does DosBox give you any other sound driver choices? If so, try them.
At least sound is now working for you, shame only on USB2, which is getting rare in computers. I know I only have USB3 on this box.
You could consider opening an issue with Arca Noae, sounds like their USB sound could be updated and who knows, perhaps USB3 could be fixed.

Adrian has fixed netlabs-release problems and seems to work fine here. Louis has gone back to simply mirroring netlabs-release.

Is that the latest official additions? If so sounds like an issue should be raised

It's a known issue with all versions of Qtwebengine.

Thanks again.  Your thought of using a ram disk won't work because my computer is on 24/7/360, it gets shut down twice a year to allow for dust removal and physical checking.

Having a small cache on the ram disk shouldn't hurt, or if really worried just reduce the cache to zero

I have my cache on the ram disk. For Firefox, you have to set up things in about:config.
Interesting entries include,
browser.cache.disk.capacity, you can shrink the cache here,
browser.cache.disk.parent_directory, point to somewhere you don't mind filling up, ram disk, etc.
browser.cache.disk.filesystem_reported, I seem to have set this previously.

Search for cache for other preferences while wondering why this stuff is no longer in the options.

Looks like you will have to write an OS/2 get_avail_mem_size.

May it possible to get a webengine build with -no-webengine-jumbo-build ?
Jumbo seems no more been supported by google if found information are good ones
(Due I see a lot of jumbo ref into the trp)

Looking, if I understand correctly, jumbo-build is simply concatenating source files together before compiling them. Not using it would more then double build time, probably use less memory during compile but more during linking. It's linking where we have to be careful not to need more then 3.5GB's of ram to link.
The only benefit to users would be slightly more readable trp files, source file names instead of jumbo names.
Mozilla has a similar thing, unified builds, 4-8 source files concatenated together, sped up compiling and especially linking. Harder to read trp files.
It also seems that the QT Webengine did not remove the option in the interests of faster builds. Google itself has a pretty powerful build farm and is trying to introduce other build speedups.

Hi Martin. The Otter browser is definitely alpha quality at best, then our Qt port is also needing work. So crashes are expected and it sounds like even on supported platforms Otter is not the most stable.
I wouldn't bother uploading these trp reports, especially when there are no debug packages installed. I have lots generated here and don't have much skills at fixing them.

Is there ad blocking for Otter? I wonder if ads are killing it...
Regards,

Lower right corner beside the download icon is an arrow pointing down, click it and there's active profiles. Mouse over and a menu comes up. Enable content Blocking and pick your filters.
Or better, under Tools, there's content blocking where you can set up your filters, how often they download and such. Also can import.
I haven't used them much so not sure if they work. I tried importing a dictionary and that seemed to fail.

Here's the contents of the icons directory plus an attempt at converting the Win icon to an OS/2 icon. Doesn't seem to display here.

Do we even need ACPIDAEMON running in a virtual machine? Seems redundant...

Regards,

Probably not, perhaps better to edit acpid.cfg and change this part to disable the power manager,

Code: [Select]

;############## Power Manager Settings ###################################
[PowerMan]

; Enable: 1=enabled, 0=disabled, default=1
Enable = 1

Untested.

Hi David, interesting it runs fine for you. Seems to be a timing issue for starting up. I have seen the socket messages but not always. I also see messages about Unimplemented code and just now Pixmap being null,

Code: [Select]

Unimplemented code.
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap

Grepping for Unimplemented in Otters source came up blank so perhaps originating in the webengine.

I should mention that running without acpidaemon doing power management is highly not recommended by David A. This computer's CPU was idling with 64C temperature and the danger is overheating the CPU.
I ended up changing \mptn\etc\acpid.cfg to PreferredMode=Power which on this box also allows Otter to run. It seems that using Power should not help as most computers don't support it and the daemon will fall back to None.
Note that the daemon has to be restarted to pick up changes to the PreferredMode, so rather kill it and run it detached again or reboot.
