For danis506, simply copy the DaniS506.ADD file to \os2\boot and change config.sys to rem out the IBM1S506.ADD and add the daniS506.ADD like
Code: [Select]
REM BASEDEV=IBM1S506.ADD
basedev=daniS506.ADD
Perhaps look at your AOS config.sys for any extra parameters for daniS505.add. They generally aren't needed but sometimes are.
I think you can copy the printer software over and it will work depending on whether it was expected to be installed. Look at config.sys for any entries related to the printer software. Others know the printing subsystem better then I do.

Have you a business case for using OS/2? You might want to upgrade to AOS, an OEM version of OS/2. https://www.arcanoae.com where you will get support as well as the latest drivers etc.

I really don't think the Available virtual memory is accurate as it seems to bounce all over the place. Here with Dooble and SM running, I get close to the same value as Neil.
Code: [Select]
Total physical memory:     16,270 MB
Accessible to system:       3,502 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:   12,768 MB

Resident memory:              180 MB
Available virtual memory:   1,443 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         306 MB
  Private high memory:      1,956 MB
  Shared low memory:          220 MB
  Shared high memory:          99 MB

I would suggest having a much larger starting value for the swap file to avoid the overhead of growing it, perhaps 1.5 GB and also keep an eye on it. Back in the day I had a system with 1.5GB's of ram, linking xul.dll needed VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=3072 or wlink would run out of memory. I had to be careful not to overflow the swap file as the system would die with a swap file full error once the swap file grew to about 2GB. It was on JFS but I assume internally OS/2 uses signed 32 bit variables. I'm sure back in the early 90's it was never expected to use so much memory and/or swap.

It's interesting. Here, before loading Dooble-Qt6,
Code: [Select]
Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         306 MB
  Private high memory:      2,128 MB
  Shared low memory:          223 MB
  Shared high memory:         343 MB
After loading it, nothing displayed except about:blank
Code: [Select]
Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         306 MB
  Private high memory:      1,956 MB
  Shared low memory:          220 MB
  Shared high memory:          99 MB

SeaMonkey is using most of my 3.5GB of visible ram and virtualaddresslimit is set to 2944. 3072 causes the system to get unstable.

The latest W4 kernel is, https://www.os2site.com/sw/upgrades/kernel/w420050811.zip which may well have the updated os2ldr.
There's also uni and smp kernels in the same directory.
I'm not sure how booting works on the convenience packs as I never installed them so someone else has to chime in.
If it basically uses the floppy images, the latest floppy images are linked here, http://web.archive.org/web/20060926010038/http://www.warpupdates.mynetcologne.de/english/inst_diskettes.html
Note that IBM has moved the ftp stuff to HTTPS, might be easiest to google the file names

Thanks Dave. I don't know why but it is had been hard to all the stuff for me lately.

I'm getting this error. I guess it is because Qt 6.8.1 does not has webengine, right?

Do you I have to go back to a lower version of Qt6 with webengine?

Regards

It looks like it. I also have lost track of Qt6 versions. Dooble's About reports I'm using Qt6 6.2.12 which is what I linked it to. Not sure what the newest version that would work.

It's easier to change the files on a floppy then an ISO.

Looks like Paul used his latest GCC to build qtgui so you need gcc1.dll from that. Attached.

Yes, getting access to the HPFS OS/2 volume is a problem. If you know Linux at all, a live Debian based Linux should allow mounting the HPFS volume read and write and could copy the files there. Only have to replace the files. Otherwise you need a way to boot OS/2, a newer live CD, floppies or such. Today ArcaOS allows booting off a USB stick or DVD to a maintenance desktop but ArcaOS costs money. Not sure if a convenience pack CD (Warp 4.52) would work, there are ISO's easily available.
Looking at your first posts trp screen, you have an ancient kernel too which may never work on a C2D processor and if working may be unstable so you will have to apply fixpaks if you get the system booting.
Can you boot from floppy?

Things seem to have been installed, but the persistent rpmdb error is worrysome. Is this normal/expected?
Cheers

Yes, the persistent rpmd error is expected and seems to be normal and harmless. Good it worked for you.

Hi Shadow, welcome to the forum.
You could try going into the BIOS, the integrated peripherals page and make sure your drive is enabled and test different settings of the On Chip Sata Mode.
Otherwise, we need to know more about your setup, namely what type of drives you have installed and how.
There's also a newer dani driver, hard to install without booting though, http://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/os2/system/drivers/storage/Danis506_1-8-15.zip

Hi Chris, IIRC cube is used to update config.sys.
How did you bootstrap? The recommended way now is to use ANPM. You might have to start over by moving \usr \var and \etc out of the way and running ANPM.
Unless you have a CPU that doesn't support SSE2, you should also use pentium4 as i686 is depreciated.

Games / Re: Please test - OpenTTD v12.1

I'm trying to run OpenTTD (the SDL v1.2 version can still be downloaded) but here it just ... finish without anything apparent on screen almost right away. No errors seen and nothing else that tell me what's going on.

I've placed the three .tar files in a sub folder \baseset relative to openttd.exe

Did you check console output?
Code: [Select]
openttd.exe 2>&1 | tee openttd.log
