Events / Re: Warpstock 2025 USA - The end of my journey with ArcaOS
« on: November 11, 2025, 10:12:03 pm »
I looked into doing just that. At least with my phone, a 2022 Moto Edge, the share network presents itself as a wireless dongle. Forget the ID but it was barely supported in Linux and unsupported in the BSD's. I was hoping it would present as an Ethernet dongle. Perhaps other phone models do, with a supported ID.
The problem with WiFi adapters is the radio, namely turning it on and off. Also need a software stack to handle authorization etc. Unluckily there is no standard when it comes to the radio's so every WiFi adapter needs its own code for enabling the radio.
As for Arca Noae, I'd guess they just don't have the resources to do this stuff. I can't imagine that they're getting rich doing this. After overhead, paying IBM their share and such, there likely isn't that much profit in a license sale and it's hard to imagine that they're selling that many licenses.
Plus we're getting left behind in this 64bit universe. I personally think it is pretty amazing how far AOS has come.

I just installed ArcaNoae USBCOM comm driver
plugged-in my HTC phone using usb cable and set HTC phone to enable modem mode. Start AOS.
Under AOS, I do not find how to configure my modem but under USBRES, the HTC modem if found and seen as Desire HD (modem mode)

I think it should be able to make it work...

During boot, I have the driver loaded with inqueue and outqueue set to 32k
After boot, I see following under hadware manager:

Then, how to go forward ?

About traveling with a laptop and wireless, an other nice feature would be to be able to share the smartphone 4G/4G+/5G data connection using an usb cable between the laptop and the smartphone (enable share network)  ::)

Hello Pete

PMView is the default application to open PNG files. But I don't think that should affect to see the thumbnail on the desktop.
Is there any other setting that can produce this ?

Regards

I you open them into pmview and just do save on each, you'll see icon...

Hello JTA.

This is the Mission Statement of Warpstock.

Quote
Warpstock Corporation is an organization of volunteers dedicated to promoting education, information, and social opportunities to those persons interested in computer operating systems and related software through the production of at least an annual technology conference.

JTA, What are your ideas?

1) Having a "Paid Virtual Presence Attendee" is a good idea, but we require the software, machine and labor to make it work.
Even if we can work out something with open source software, I still require the labor of someone operating the virtual conference to give turns to the people to speak from "remote" to the "local" event.

But I think it is good idea and maybe something can be work out, like some live and shorter meetings, outside the main Warpstock event, to try to learn and understand how to set up and manage that kind of thing.

Communication / Re: Zoc and Transfers
« on: September 09, 2025, 11:52:58 am »
Trying to use Zoc with AOS 5.1

Everytime I try to transfer a file, Zoc just closes.

I've tried with two different types of USB > RS232 cables.

I tested Send and Receive by typing on the keyboard.

What other terminal program should I try?

Which zoc version do you use ?

Hi andy, interesting !
Of course, I only use python 2
python2.7 seems to be seens having 7 as extension instead of exe  (using python2.7.exe as it should)...
(I've added more association in the past and may be this is the raison I missed this problem) 
I'm going to update my code to use python2.7.exe instead of simplified python2.7
Thanks having seens this.

After getting this error, check your temp path, you should find the downloaded zip file and you can manually issue
python2.7.exe avxcath.py 0 AVxCAT_updt.zip      (avxcath.py is located under avxcat path, created at first avxcat using python run)
and check with the md5 from into     
https://remydodin.levillage.org/doc/realisations/updates/avxcat21.updt

(or use md5.exe)

Carrefully:
As alternate option, try renaming python2.7.exe to python.exe (after saving original python.exe) under \usr\bin
And restore as it was after update

Updt (corrections done):
AVxCAT v2.2.2.0 FP4 (included prereqs.exe 1.1beta) online

Updt: If you already have AVxCAT 2.2.2.0 FP4 with prereqs beta 1.1, you can download again avxcat 2.2.2.0 FP4  (with prereqs beta 1.2) using following command
Code: [Select]
curl --max-time 600  -z 12-Aug-2025 https://remydodin.levillage.org/doc/realisations/downloads/AVXCAT_Y25R2M2.zip --output "C:\var\temp\AVxCAT_updt.zip
note: change C:\var\temp to your destination path.

Hi David,

Thanks for you helpful comments.
AVxCAT V2.2.2.0 FP2 update if planned to be installed over AVxCAT V2.2.0.0 FP2 WPI
AVxCAT V2.1.1.2 get upate not enabled to get V2.2.2.0 FP2 (I'm going to enable update to V2.2.0.0 wpi)   

AVxCAT base WPI package includes some missing dlls you are looking for.

Priority is yellow because no more a requirement if under AOS and the color is a warning not red.
When priority.exe is missing I use default available codding

If you have installed dlls from under AVXCAT v2.2.0.0 WPI (you should have rxtnsion...) and you may missing some other elements, pdf due V2.2.0.0. is a main update.
Of course, you can run V2.2.0.0. FP2 WPI over current installation and then replace AVxCAT and Prereqs  from those into AVxCAT v2.2.2.0 FP2 (that's all) to get latest update. 


About incorrect path under AVxCAT, this is because the paths already set are saved into the ini file.
To check if all is found, you can rename the avxcat.ini file and start AVxCAT (a message will tell you to do setting), go into parameters and check found paths (it should be ok). To use your initial setting, copy back your original avxcat.ini file.

By default, AVxCAT doesn't use icon view, I suggest you to give a try which simplifies usage (for some specific or customised conversion settings, go back to normal view).

Starting from a fresh installation before any AVxCAT setting, all additional tools path should be found and juts 'save parameters' after verification, I'll suggest to set cdda2wav, web and tracks naming convention + set to use priority with suggested parameters which will be helpful for some king of conversion. 
About priority, prereqs.exe should find it if missing (but you can ignore it under AOS if you prefer and AVxCAT will use other priority codding) 

With the latest prereqs.exe 1.0 beta (only starting from this one), all install steps are done by prereqs.exe if you choice install instead of download only. The packages are identical and what prereqs does during the install:
- it goes through each downloaded packages
  - If zip -> it checks archived first level name and if @unixroot found (which means you already set an @unixroot under config.sys found during pre-scan by prereqs) symlink is used and @unixroot replaced with the found @unixroot drive letter. If local if found under @unixroot and/or user set, packages will have local as destination (if local is not part of paths and libpaths under the config.sys, it should be added manually yet)

    To use simlink for manually install packages: create a simlink (ln.exe), unzip package, remove (rm) the created simlink   

  - If zip but a wpi is included (e.g. timidity); prereqs unzip the archive and run the warpin
  - If the package is an exe file (supposed warpin executable). It is run
  - If the package is a wpi then warpin is run
  - For missing rpm packages available through yum (AOS), yum install can be run for all missing packages or it can be run later, the command line is been saved into the yum log file (or prereqs yum log entry)

Regards

Next upgrade is expected to update config.sys if 'local' doesn't exist and is user set under prereqs and I'm looking (may be later...) to make prereqs usable for other programs needing many additional tools (using external customized file to identify packages and links)


After run AVxCAT V2.2.2.0 FP2, you'll find a created avxcath.py (a basic python2 script usable to check hash code of files) used to check MD5 when downloading future updates though AVxCAT.
e.g. python if base python under AOS or python2.7 avxcath.py 0 file2test   (0 = MD5, 1 = SHA1, 2 = SHA256, 3 = SHA384, 4 = SHA512)

Hi Remy,

I don't know if this intentional or not but on your system "WPPngCache" class is not registered.
But it is easy enough to register via XWP by specifying "WPPngCache" as the class name and "C:\SYS\DLL\PNGDESK.DLL" as the SOM DLL containing the class.

Or had you backlevelled to 2.5.2.2 while you where dumping the class list ?

Yes, I took the class list dump after having backleveled to 2.5.2.2

13
Could os2 ini file size have an impact ?
Mine is very big and it can't be reduced a lot having it reduced several times.
Any debug or log file available during the install time ?
or could a build without "WPPngCache class" be provided to check if this could be the culprit ?

I display png icons for the elements placed on the desktop and ico into folders.
The ugly is that it always show png for icons under properties despite I set it to ico and would like use ico only when seen under folders

Hello Remy

I can not reproduce your problem. I remember that long, long time ago sometime that problem shows in ArcaOS 5.0, but I no longer experienced that problem.

Do you have some other WPS Enhancer like eSchemes or Imagination? Anything else ?

Maybe you can run "ClassLst > remyClass.txt and compare it with mine (Attached) to see any rare registered class.

Regards

Do you have some other WPS Enhancer like eSchemes or Imagination? Anything else ?
Nothing added.

My desktop is as it was provide by AOS, just organised it in an other way and some added programs
There are some differences and a few more entries into mine but I don't know what it will do.
Here it is:

I just uninstalled dynamic ico 2.5.6 and trashcan works again !
Could it be possible something into it doesn't work as supposed?

Given that no one else has reported this problem, nor your original problems with D.I. 2.56, nor other WPS issues we've worked on in the past, I have to assume there is something seriously non-standard about your system that is causing these issues.

It could be alternate versions of PMWP, PMMERGE, the various SOM dlls (possibly from installing VACPP), or some add-on you've been using for years. It's up to you to determine what _you_ did to _your_ system to trigger (not "cause") this bug. Without that info, there's almost nothing I can do to fix it because neither I nor seemingly anyone else can duplicate it.

What is the purpose of WPPngCache class which doesn't exist under 2.5.2.2 ?

WPPngCache is the first new SOM/WPS code in at least 10 years that actually _does_ something beside put pages in a notebook.

The first time any class or object is asked to display its unique icon, it creates a cache object to manufacture and cache multiple sizes of its icon. Some of these cache objects are private to the object that created them (e.g. PM exe's) while others are shared among all objects that use the same icon (e.g. VIO exe's). The result is a 90+% reduction in memory usage over v2.52 (plus the ability to use different sized icons in Icon and Tree views).

Hi,

I do not use alternate version except PMMERGE used from OS4 bujt knowing it, I did test using the AOS original PMMERGE but the problem always occurs and eco runtimes. AOS xcenter seems  seems involved due desktop icons having ramdomly issue have a widget into AOS xcenter lite. Other objects have no issue except the trashcan for which the full icon doesn't appear for the desktop icon only

Could cpu T° monitoring have an impact on D.I ?
Whe will  2.5.2.2 perfectly work without any issue and the latest build not ? logic will suppose it is into the changed or added code   

May it possible WPPngCache is cahing wrong icons ?
I only see this option which is new and could create problems
