Utilities / Re: DUMPFS setup

 OK, thanks Dave and Lars... I was afraid it might be the NVMe drive. If ArcaOS 5.1 is ever actually released I was planning on running exclusively on NVMe, so guess I should try to set up with a RAM drive.

  Do either of you know if this is something that could be added to the NVMe driver, or is it a kernel limitation? I could raise an issue at the Arca bug tracker...

Regards,

 Hi Paul,

  Yes, that is what I have been doing up to now,and it works, but would like to get DUMPFS working (if I can).

Utilities / DUMPFS setup
« on: March 04, 2023, 05:33:56 pm »
 Hi All,

 I'm trying to setup  DUMPFS to use a 4GB partition to dump the system to. Used DUMPFS32_61.wpi to install, and created a 4095MB partition called SADUMP on a 512GB drive per the instructions (see attached DFSEE window). Formatted first as JFS (to force type 07), then formatted with dumpfs, again per the instructions. Used Y: as the drive letter. Set TRAPDUMP=R0,Y: in CONFIG.SYS.

 Rebooted, and hit <ctrl><alt><num-lock><num-lock> and I get a message that says the dump partition does not exist. Any idea what I might have done wrong?

 The instructions don't say so, but I wonder if the dump partition must be on the same disk as the boot partition? In this case it is not. I have an X: drive (2GB) on the boot disk that works as a dump partition only if I use 'memlimit' to limit memory to less than 2GB, but I want to get away from that if possible so I can capture unexpected traps when they happen.

Regards,

EDIT: Forgot to mention - the disk the Y: partition is on is an NVMe drive. Could that be the problem?

Hey Paul!
OK I made two changes, both related to AVX support in libyuv:
1) rebuilt libvpx with AVX disabled in libyuv - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/libvpx-1.13.0-os2-20230303.zip
2) rebuilt qt6webee.dll with AVX disabled in libyuv - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/qt6webee-20230303.zip

My subjective assessment is these don't change much. Next step will be to add -mnoavx to the os2 cflags and see if that changes anything..
These builds definitely help here - I am able to go to www.youtube.com and it doesn't hang within 15 seconds! In fact it hasn't hung yet on the main page and I can play some videos no problem, but others will hang eventually. It seems VP9 videos work fine, but AV1 videos are glitchy and hang eventually. Still, it's progress!

Regards,

Paul,


Thanks for testing! The Qml/Quick examples fail with the workerscript error? Re: dooble fork and issues - the default for forks is to not allow issues to be raised.  I would suggest most issues with Dooble/2 would be best raised in the Qt6-webengine-os2 repository.

 Yes, it's the workerscript error with the QML/Quick examples....

Regards,

Hey Paul,

  The 6.3.2 version seems to work with Dooble about as well as the 6.2 version as far as I can tell - no better, no worse. Maybe it takes longer for YouTube to hang, but it still hangs (I was able to play a video once for about 5 seconds before hanging). Other apps tried (qBittorent, QtTube, Scribus) all have the same issues with both versions, but nothing new. The examples also seem the same - anything with 'QML' or 'Quick' in the name and some with 'SQL' don't work, but everything else I tried so far does... thanks!

  EDIT: BTW - your Dooble github site does not have a facility for lodging issues, is that intentional?

Regards,

 Hey Dave,

  I did download your QT5 version again and now everything works fine. I am able to use 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/' with an alias 'wiki:' to search with no problem - not clear why you can't. I am also testing using VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2560, but have also tried 3072 and it doesn't really seem to matter...

Regards,

It almost works here with my most recent Qt5 version, setting up a wiki: search pointing at wikipedia.en.org and typing in wiki: OS/2 in the address bar gives an URL of http://http//wikipedia.en.org OS/2. Paul's Qt6 build is the same. I'd assume it is a Qt issue
Edit: Attach screen capture

 Hey Dave,

  Got it to work in the QT6 version... with Wikipedia I used syntax 'wiki:' and 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/', and Google I used syntax 'goog:' with 'https://www.google.com/search?q='. I am not able to add the top list of available search engines by clicking 'add checked' though (that works in the QT5 version).

Regards,

EDIT: turns out the QT5 version was not properly updated to the newest - that seems to work fine now.

 Hey Paul,

  Yes, I have the blocklist installed, and an anti-ad HOSTS file as well. I can provide a dump if you like.... where to send?

  I wouldn't be surprised if YouTube has a different main page depending on where the requester is located, so possibly different Javascript depending on where the request comes from.

Regards,

EDIT: I have a dump ready to go if you want it...

 Hey Dave,

  The latest version of Dooble adds a 3rd column to the search engines page at the bottom: 'Syntax' where you can define a prefix to a search to specify the engine to use. I notice it does not exist in your QT5 version, but it does exist (but doesn't work - can't add engines) in Paul's QT6 version. Maybe I need to try new profiles...

Regards,

EDIT: New profiles don't help...

 Works as good as the last one here... YouTube still doesn't work though...

 I did check the videos on https://tools.woolyss.com/html5-audio-video-tester/ and everything that should work does work (no H.263, H.265 or MPEG-4) except the 'Chimera-AV1...' mp4 video with no sound - it starts, but then hangs, but the browser and system are still responsive. My gut feeling is that YouTube hangs the system because of Javascript problems, not video.

  And just BTW... in the QT5 version of Dooble YouTube works just fine...

 Hey Paul,

  Don't really see much change with the 20230222 version of QT6Webee - wwwYouTube.com locks up the system after rendering the page, and googling a YouTube video, then trying to play starts playing, then quickly locks the system. So no silent exit at least...

Hi Bernhard,

  I have the same problem... cannot access Windows 11 servers anymore. About a week ago there was a Windows update, after which I could not connect with the OS/2 version of FreeRDP. Seems Windows clients work though. Might have to play around with settings...

 Hey Paul,

Yeah, I'm using qt6-6.2.4-os2-20230214.zip with qt6webee-20230216.zip. I got your special libcn0.dll and put it in C:\usr\local\lib, rebooted, then started the QT6 Dooble, did a google search on 'Plimsouls Million Miles Away', double clicked on the YouTube video offered, Dooble disappeared and a triple beep was heard.
A trap file was created in C:\qt6\bin (where QT6 and Dooble resides) - attached.

Regards,

BTW - plays fine in QT5 Dooble...
