Setup & Installation / Re: ArcaOS 5.1

Looks that way. Try again?

That did it... I figured out what happened.  When that update installs in modifies config.sys however after I did the restore on this machine I restored my saved config.sys which did not include the change.

Duh!

That would be produced by the FAT32 IFS and shouldn't happen on an install, and perhaps you should open an issue as it is likely a problem at Arca Noae.
Once the install is finished, try upgrading the FAT32 driver, first with the one on the ISO to see if the error is repeated.
I think there is a newer one available at your subscription page, I have

Check the bldlevel of yours before updating

I did the update from downloads page which is what started the error, It looks like the cachef32 driver didn’t update along with it ?

Greetings,

I am almost there with my setup.. I have noticed this error on boot, it doesnt stop the boot and everything appears normal just wondering what it is and if I should fix it?

F320101: ERROR: F32 VERSION (5.0.5.R234) DIFFERS FROM CACHEF32 VERSION (5.0.4.R2... I didnt get the rest of it but you get the gist.

Hi,

I just got 5.1 installed on my laptop and install and everything went fine.  While trying to update from the command line or APM I get a lot of python dependency problems?  Is this normal?  I have not seen this happen of previous versions.

Greetings,

I have used arcamapper to connect to my NAS no issues there.  How can I share say a tmp dir on the arca box to say windows 11 so I can just drop stuff in there...

greetings,

Has anyone done the upgrade option for the install to 5.1?  I did a fresh install went perfectly however I would like to upgrade the machine that I use Arca on, and hoping not to have to redo the whole drive?

Ok,

So I finally got 5.1 installed on the NUC5 (intel) and its pretty solid.  I had tried 5.07 on this machine and had all those dos window problems that we have all experienced.  This is a fresh install of 5.1 and so far everything is working that I have tested.  I have not been able to update yet I get some errors there but will keep working at it.. IF you want to know my specific HW setup let me know how to print that out for you...

Regards

Oddly I have had ARCA run on this machine in the past, so bios is correct.. Different HD I have been using gparted I think I may use windows partition manager to set up the drive and see if that helps it at all...

Setup & Installation / jfs error?
« on: August 14, 2023, 03:51:07 pm »
Hi All,

I am trying to a new install in order to test more on some software.  I could not get arca to see the msata in the NUC so I bought a new 64gb msata and it identified it on the install process right away.  It all appeared normal and after phaze 1 and the reboot where you are meant to select boot from HD I get the error message in this picture.

any thoughts on how this happens, what I can do to repair?  Also what do I have to do to a new or used HD to get it to show up in the installer?  I knew what to do once but have forgotten.  I could boot gparted and setup before running arcaos installer...

Hi,

I am working with a software author to get his BBS software working with arca, currently we are having trouble getting arca to look data files specifically the user database for the BBS.. Here are some questions he asked me but I thought I could get some better answers here...

I was able to get a machine to work, reinstalled sio and vmode, everything works except for reading the user file.  I deleted the files, then recreated my user account.  No issues, can re-login but cannot read the files.  Cannot edit the user.  Is there some strange thing or parameter to run?

How true of a DOS system is it?  Is there another option?

Any thoughts?

Go to Appearance-->Scheme Palette in System Setup and choose your theme and drag'n'drop it, Alt will make it system wide.
You might find a background in \os2\bitmap

Thank you Ill have a look... I have to redo everything as the 5.0.8 "update" wiped out my drive and I have to start over....
