Events / Re: ArcaOS 5.0.8 is out!
« on: June 26, 2023, 04:45:45 pm »
The only thing I have noticed so far is that my icon theme reset back to ArcaOS icons. I had to reset them to the Warp 4 set.

Curious on how to set system to warp 4 icon set that would be cool.  Also do you know where there are any warp 4 wallpapers for that vintage look?

In order to upgrade is a reinstall necessary? Or is there an upgrade path for arca?

Thank You

Greetings,

As this would solve a lot of problems I am having recreating the 90's os/2 setup I had, I am sure that I cannot get docker to run on Arcaos?  It was fun thinking I could anyhow.

Setup & Installation / Trap on boot
« on: February 04, 2023, 02:53:01 pm »
Greetings,

I was messing around with my install and now traps when booting, anyhow I know why it traps and can fix it, I just forget the key sequence to get to the config.sys.. I know its when the little os2 box pops up, is it f1? to get to command line?

Thank you

Rick

I can tell you proxmox will not install arca as VM, however you can install warp which is weird...

Great!  With the viop-1.0.wpi was there something to add to autoexec.bat as well?  I thought I remember something along those lines but could be wrong..

I have some notes here on the Wiki. But in my case was just installing  viop-1.0.wpi and rebooting. For me that solved my problems without any other changes, but I know that on different hardware are different solutions.

Arca Noae as also some DOS-Win16 comments on their web FAQ.

If you can't make DOS Sessions work, I think your worst case scenario may be that you have to wait for ArcaOS 5.1 and enable UEFI BIOS with CSM.

Regards

Something happened, while messing around with it.  I got kernel panic could not get passed it.  Having to do reinstall.  I wont change anything while working to fix the dos problem.  I was doing too many other things at same time I believe.  Ill keep you posted on results.

Rick

UPDATE...

Machine is back up.  Still no usable DOS sessions even with all the suggested fixes implemented.  When is 5.1 expected?

Hello,

I tried the file, and from memory I added this to autoexec.bat "SET mode co80,100" did not fix the dos window session, full screen dos takes a whole minute to load, by monitor goes into sleep mode. Upon exiting dos it hangs the computer at the desktop with a ribbon colored border around the screen with no keyboard or mouse control, was forced to do hard reboot.  I am using mini display-port connection to monitor?

Thanks Rick. I had updated the wiki.

Does everything works fine Audio, Network, All USB ports?

FYI: I guess you already known, but I got good results with " viop-1.0.wpi" for the DOS sessions.
Regards

Great!  With the viop-1.0.wpi was there something to add to autoexec.bat as well?  I thought I remember something along those lines but could be wrong..  Everything as far as I can tell is working just fine.. Ive tested all the ports, and I can produce audio.

Hi Rick

That's good.

Please post back if everything works and your PCI report (I have some instructions here).

I had created a wiki page for it here: "Intel NUC Kit D54250WYKH".

Reading the specs the only strange thing it has is the "Consumer Infrared Rx Sensor", but the rest seems that it should not give you problems, please report back.

Its installed, infact I am writing this on that machine.  The reboot though went weird, when I selected boot from hard disk in would go into a loop and complain about boot disk being a floppy?  So I took usb out and it booted from hard drive I quickly reinserted the usb drive tho so it could keep installing after the reboot.. All in all went fine.  I am having that dos prompt problem where it wont work if you open a dos window, I may try the documented fixes and see if I have any luck.

Here is the file you requested.

I have two partitions "cleared" via gparted ie not formatted.. Arca still does not see them, the only thing that pops up in disk manager is a 16mb fat16 device not sure what that is, but its been there each time.  Of course the usb device is there as well.  Were you saying there is a way to boot to disk manager on the arca install usb?


**UPDATE**

I got it to work, I had one option left to try, so I booted back to gparted created msdos partition table, left drive unpartitioned and unformatted, arca is now installing as we speak...

Maybe not a trick per say, but how should you setup a hard drive for arca so that it sees it? Should it be a formatted partition in order for it to show up?  I can boot to gparted to set it up.

Its a nuc5 d54250wykh

Setup & Installation / New install - Intel NUC5
« on: December 28, 2022, 08:17:03 pm »
Greetings,

I recently upgraded one my mini pcs so I thought I would install arca on the old one.  Its a INTEL NUC5, with a 256gb msata drive.  When I get to the harddrive part of the setup it doesnt see the drive at all.  I remember this happening before on a different install I just do not recall the fix.  I have booted with gparted and wiped all partitions, I have tried MBR and GPT without creating partition, boot arca still no drive showing.  I tried again with gparted created a unformatted partition still no luck.  Anyone have an idea how to set the drive up so that arca installer will see it?  Will it see all 256gb or do I need to partition it smaller, formatted ?
