Internet / Re: Dooble releases-Qt6
« on: March 08, 2026, 03:42:24 pm »
Dave,

  OK, there's more to it. I got your latest Dooble and tried it, but no difference with the new sqlite. Works fine with the old one.

  One thing I had forgotten about - I use a separate DOOBLE_HOME directory for the QT6 version of Dooble and set that on the 'Environment' tab of the objects' settings page. If I remove that setting and just let it use the default (which is also used by the QT5 version) then the QT6 version of Dooble works fine with the new sqlite and all settings are used and can be changed. Soon as I try to set the 'DOOBLE_HOME' environment it stops working - even if I use the default of 'DOOBLE_HOME=C:\Home\.dooble'.

 So the problem is the 'DOOBLE_HOME' variable it seems.

Regards,

EDIT: it gets more interesting: On the 'Settings' page of Dooble at the upper left it shows the directory it is using for settings. When using the default (that is: no DOOBLE_HOME specified) it shows 'C:/Home\.dooble'. So I tried setting 'DOOBLE_HOME' to 'C:/Home\.dooble2' using the new sqlite and it worked! So the real problem is the slash after the drive letter...

 The problem is almost certainly in the computer's BIOS. You need to look there for a 'Boot Order' section and make sure it is configured to boot from floppy or DVD or USB or whatever BEFORE the hard drive. It's impossible to tell you exactly where without seeing the BIOS screens themselves. Good luck!

Been successfully using the 2025-11-25 version of Dooble with Paul's latest QT 6.2 since it came out. Today I noticed a new update to sqlite in ANPM on the netlabs-exp server, so naturally I installed it. Now when I start Dooble, it starts as if it is a new install with all settings reset - no saved websites or passwords or dictionary or exclusions or anything. Setting them does not get saved - next time I start everything is blank again. It's as if it is not reading the settings files.

So I have two questions:

1. Anyone else seeing this with the updated sqlite?
2. Is there a way to force a back level of sqlite from the command line? ANPM won't do it because there are 2 packages that rely on each other (sqlite and sqlite-libs) and it gives an error when I try to do one or the other. Deleting sqlite wants to also delete half my system.

Quite a dilemma...

EDIT: The QT5 version of Dooble works fine. This only affects the QT6 version.

EDIT2: 'yum downgrade sqlite sqlite-libs' worked. Now the QT6 version of Dooble works again... whew!

 Here, about an hour ago it timed out. Now it seems fine. Just about every time I try to visit so far this year it seems very slow to respond or times out, then sometime later is OK. I have also seen where the page comes up, but the forum section does not show (it's blank). Very strange behavior.

Martin,

  I can confirm those 2 issues you mention happen here too. Gotta go back to 7.2.4.

Mo,

  The NIC driver needs to be located after certain other drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file, and gives that exact symptom if it is not. Run 'testlog generic' from a command line and in the file created scroll down to the 'Config.sys' section and see if it lists any errors.

Roberto,

  Use ANPM (Arcanoae package manager) to install libvpx from the netlabs repository. There may be other requirements like that too, the error message gives a hint.

Networking / Re: Can not connect to TCP/IP - DHCP Client

Martin,

  Glad you got it working. Normally the first line when you type 'netstat -r' would be 'default   192.168.10.1  0.0.0.0  0  UGP  lan0' which is your default route to your router. That seems to be missing, so you would need to add a default route on the 'Routing' tab of the TCP/IP notebook app. DCHP will get this automatically.

Martin,

  With the USB ethernet attached and driver loaded and IP set to static, open a command prompt and type 'netstat -r'. What do you get?

 Maybe it's not an alpha, 'About PMMail' says:

 3.26.00.2024 (32973)
 Dec 31 2024 20:39:44 +0000 (GMT)
 Session Time: 4.0 seconds

 And it is currently available on Hobbes (uploaded back in July). It works OK here, just get a warning that it is expired and needs a license every once in a while. Thanks for keeping it alive and look forward to any new updates!

 I was watching the presentation at Warpstock Roderick gave when he mentioned the new repo for WPI apps so I immediately added it to ANPM and was able to download and install everything on it - thanks Roderick! (and thanks Martin for showing it). It all works great. I agree with Martin that lswitcher and Dataseeker be included too.

 One thing I'm curious about - there was an alpha PMMail 3.26 version awhile back, but nothing about it since. Will there be any further releases? The alpha does not seem to recognize my license...

Lars,

  I never paid much attention to those 'Win_Res_xx' entries in OS2.ini - but noticed there is no entry for 1920x1080 resolutions. Do you know if this can be manually added? It looks like, besides the display drivers (entries 51 and 52), the entries only determine the font to use. If they can be added, then using the github screen driver, 1920x1080 could be added to explicitly call out that driver (which is what it seems to be good for). Anyone know of a document that describes these settings in OS2.ini?
