Events / Re: ArcaOS 5.1.1 is out.
« on: February 17, 2025, 10:26:56 pm »
 Thanks Dave - I got a new ISO and this one installed fine and shows it is 5.1.1 in my VirtualBox. Now to install on some real hardware...

Events / ArcaOS 5.1.1 is out.
« on: February 17, 2025, 02:15:17 am »
 Has English, German, Spanish and Russian versions. Installed my English update in less than 5 minutes, but install.flg says it was updated to 'ArcaOS 5.1.0 en', so I wonder if there is no difference with version 5.1.0 in the English version (the ISO says 5.1.1).

 Be interesting to hear how other language users get on with their installation...

Applications / Re: WPS-Wizard Installation Fails in ArcaOS
« on: February 15, 2025, 02:36:00 am »
Hi Martin,

  Can't help you get it installed, but can confirm the same issue here when trying to install it on AOS 5.1. Also tried the last official release (6.0) and it too has the same problem here. I always liked WPS Wizard - a shame it no longer can be installed...

Multimedia / Re: uniaud.dll test

 A quick test with VLC playing some MP3 files using the Uniaud audio interface and it seems to work well. Thanks! I'll keep this installed and let you know if any problems appear...

Hi David,

 I am running ArcaOS in a VirtualBox 7.1.6 VM on Win 11 and I notice a few differences in our settings. I set 'Enable Hardware Clock in UTC Time' ON, 'Enable PAE/NX' ON, and 'Enable Nested VT-X/AMD-V' ON. Also, my Paravirtualization Interface is set to 'Default'.

 No idea if these will make any difference, but you could try them. Being a Mac host might change the requirements, I'm not familiar with Macs...

Regards,

Hi Jan-Erik,

  I have an earlier version that I built a fairly large family tree database with, and that database seems to work fine with your build. Only did some light testing for now, but will let you  know if I run across any problems... thanks!

 Thanks Martin, I just found it myself... Qucs appears to be a front end for various simulators, including ngspice, so it only needs to be a CLI (command line) version which it appears it is. I'll give it a try...

@Paul - thanks for the new (final?) build of Scribus 1.7.0. It works well, only issue seen I already mentioned about the double slash on the plugin names and errors about that in the console.

@Tellie - thanks for the 6.8 LibreCAD and Qucs. LibreCAD seems to work OK, but there is an exceptq crash if you choose 'Options'->'Current Document Options' then hit 'OK'. Qucs looks great - I do some circuit designing (for amps and microphones) so it would be quite handy! Do you know if there is an OS/2 version of 'ngspice' or any of the other simulators used?

Regards,

Thanks again Paul. Don't see much difference with this latest QT6.8.1 - still many qml and quick examples don't work and still see sys2070 errors, although slightly different like this:

 but less than before. Some apps like Tea and LibreCAD and Focuswriter still will not run, but Scribus and NotePadNext and Media-Downloader do run...

Thanks Paul!

  I am running Dooble with the updated QtWebengine and so far I don't see any negative effects - still too soon to say whether it helps at all, but in 30 min. I haven't seen the dreaded stuck 100% CPU, so maybe this helps that problem, we'll see. Can't download the updated QT file - gives a 'not found' message...

Paul,

  Been running Dooble with this QT6Core.dll and Unix timer, but don't see any change good or bad. No change in any examples I've tried either...

 Did a quick test, but unfortunately doesn't seem to be any better than the last one - same apps still don't start and qml examples don't all work - but they seem to fail a little differently. I am getting a lot of entries in POPUPLOG I didn't get before like:

 Hey Paul,

  There's enough snow here for a billion Christmas cards..

 Glad to be able to do something useful to help get QT 6 the best it can be.

 One thing about qmlplugn.dll: In QT 6.2, it exists in the \qml\QtQml directory, in QT 6.6, it exists in the directory \qml\QtQml\Base but in 6.8 it is called out (but doesn't exist) in directory \qml\QML. Something strange going on about what directory it should live in.

 Version 6.6 has a 'qmlmeta.dll in \qml\QtQml, but neither 6.2 nor 6.8 have that file. Version 6.8 has a 'qml.dll' in\qml\QtQml but neither 6.2 nor 6.6 have that file...

Regards,
