Web applications / Re: QT5 simplebrowser

« on: February 21, 2021, 07:01:17 pm »

OK, found. But now EVNT217 is missing and *EVNT* is not found in YUM and Package Manager.

A batch file with necessary YUM commands to instal Simplebrowser would be useful.

The readme.txt states whats needed:

....
3. In ANPM choose the menu option
   Manage -> Yum Tools -> Quick Install
In the input field enter the text: QT5
and let ANPM install all the QT 5 packages that are listed.

4. From ANPM again choose the "Quick Install" menu option.
In the input field enter the text: ffmpeg-libs
and let ANPM install all the DLLs that are listed.

5. Repeat the above steps with:
   libevent
   minizip
   libxlst
   libkai

* 6. It is recommended that you now reboot your system! *

....

its also recommended to use this command to launch the browser:

sh run.sh

If i use simplebrowser.exe instead it starts but traps when trying to open a url

If I'm not mistaken, there's also a commonly used config.sys entry that's helped for others, I can't exactly remember what it is however.

Some Config.sys tips&tricks can be found in Gregg Youngs 2018 Warpstock presentation: http://www.warpstock.org/filemgmt/visit.php?lid=289

Hi,

i am using a Model 20DL. Stylus and Finger work perfect for me (Thanks Wim & Sigurd). I did not test the camera. 

I am using AN USB 12.04.

Code: [Select]

REM [################
REM [USB section
REM [################
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBPRT.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBMOUSE.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBKBD.SYS
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBRESMG.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0
BASEDEV=USBCDROM.ADD /CDS:1
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:06CB:764A:0005 /N:$FINGER$ /S /V
DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:056A:00EC:0135 /N:$STYLUS$ /S /V

I had to adjust the parameters and used https://ecsoft2.org/usb-resource-manager-device-monitor to get the info (in USB 12.03 there was an issue with usbresmsg. This was fixed in 12.04)

The os2site.com is live. Ian send me a hard disc from Australia and OS/2 VOICE now hosts a copy of the website.
Ian and I are working out the details so he can update th website from Australia. So from that perspective things should be somewhat back to normal.

Roderick

I cannot access the site. Looks like the URL (os2site.com) still points to an australian server. Is ist hosted as a subdomain of os2voice.org or do you have the IP? 

thanks

Hi Andi,

i recently had an issue where the AHCI controller was not properly supported and HDD was not recognized. Changing controller mode in BIOS from "AHCI" to "Compatible" solved this.

Pulled out an older laptop that has AVX to check the OS/4 kernel, the FFSandyBridge, and the AVX libs on it and no FF traps.  The AVX libs are working great.

Hello David,

Are you using the AN Acpi or the OS2Apic shipped with the OS4 Kernel?

Thanks
