Virtualization / Re: Win-OS/2 - Open vbesvga.drv video driver
« on: June 22, 2025, 12:05:14 am »
Hi Roderick,

  Would you have any insight into why this driver doesn't work with EFI? I would report to the developer, but don't want to just say 'It doesn't work'...

Regards,

 Thanks Martin. I don't get a hang, it just doesn't even seem to do anything.

 One thing I noticed I hadn't before - there are new WinOS2 settings for VEFI. Looks like they are probably mostly DOS oriented, but not clear...

 I just installed these drivers on a bare metal EFI system and they don't seem to work (session doesn't start). Anyone else gotten them to work on EFI?

Roderick,

  I mention the 'Above 4GB...' setting because it is something David A. of Arca Noae directed me to change when I had trouble with my new motherboard (B760 chipset, 12th gen i5 CPU) a couple months ago. No idea if it will help Neil directly, but is something to check.

Neil,

  I have never seen a mem /v result where the available high process memory is HIGHER than the available virtual memory. Like Steven says, that seems not right. Do you have all settings in your BIOS that reference 'Above 4GB...' turned off?

Also - what motherboard are you using? A testlog file might also be helpful...

Regards,

Neil,

 Something else must be going on - I am typing this in Dooble on a system that only has 800MB available, using VIRTUALADDRESSLIMIT=2048 and a 2GB swap file. Here's my mem/v while browsing:

[C:\]mem /v

Total physical memory:     32,560 MB
Accessible to system:         824 MB
Additional (PAE) memory:   31,736 MB

Resident memory:              131 MB
Available virtual memory:   2,063 MB

Available process memory:
  Private low memory:         324 MB
  Private high memory:      1,036 MB
  Shared low memory:          238 MB
  Shared high memory:          20 MB

Regards,

 I was never able to get the 6.2.6 webengine working with QT 6.8. QT 6.6 was the most recent one it worked on. Probably best to just stick to 6.2 for now...

Setup & Installation / Re: Cannot update python
« on: May 29, 2025, 12:14:15 pm »
Lars,

  It could be that python3-dateutil needs to be updated for python 3.13 (I don't have that installed). You could try uninstalling it then try updating python again, but if it works you probably won't be able to re-install python3-dateutil. I don't know of a way to force it. You should report this at 'https://github.com/bitwiseworks/rpm-issues/issues' and maybe Sylvan can update that one too.

 One thing I just noticed: on my 2560x1080 monitor the mouse pointer will not go all the way to the right side of the screen - it stops about 150 pixels from the edge. So any maximized window I have to move it to the left to get to the min/max arrows. Anyone else seeing this? I made a comment on the OS/2 thread at the developer's github site...

Hey Martin!

  Wow! It really works! I tried it with my new 2560x1080 monitor in full screen WinOS2 on VirtualBox (which showed the jumpy mouse and can't get to bottom problem) and everything is normal! This thing needs to become part of ArcaOS I think...

Martin,

  That error is about OpenSSL, not Python. Best to raise a ticket like the message says.

 Try now... Sylvan updated everything that needed it for Python 3.13 and so should work now. At least it did for me.

Hey Dave,

  I don't see what you show - when I open Dooble for QT6 and view the release notes, then close all I get is 2 identical lines:

[179:1:0513/195224.972000:ERROR:system_network_context_manager.cpp(299)] Cannot use V8 Proxy resolver in single process mode.
[179:1:0513/195224.979000:ERROR:system_network_context_manager.cpp(299)] Cannot use V8 Proxy resolver in single process mode.

and that's it...

Programming / Re: Request: Compile "Tower Topper" (aka Nebulus)
« on: May 14, 2025, 01:45:47 am »
 Thanks Dave and Martin for doing this... I really like Tower Toppler and it works well. Only issue I've seen is a trap on quitting (SIGSEGV), but doesn't affect the game.
