 Went back to 4.19.4 because WINBINDD wouldn't start with 4.19.5 (but you said it was because of attempts to fix the RPC issue), but smbd did run and work at least...

 I wonder why... were there a lot of changes from 4.19.4?

 Figured out the problem with unzipping a previous install over a VirtualBox install - the file 'C:\OS2\svgadata.pmi' must be deleted after unzipping. It is apparently used by Panorama and messes up VirtualBox if it is present. The VirtualBox additions install does not delete it. Now I can run a full screen OS/2 session in VirtualBox at native resolution.

Hi Martin,

  I did follow that procedure after the initial install and it worked. After unzipping my previous ArcaOS install, it did not. I'm pretty sure there is a file or setting in a file that got overwritten by the unzip. Just have to figure out what it is. I'll probably install another ArcaOS virtual machine and start studying the difference between the fresh install and my unzipped previous one.

 Got the absolute latest pci-ids file  and re-ran testlog - attached. Still some unknown devices though. Also noticed testlog complains about hyperthreading, but it is turned off in BIOS - strange..

Regards,

PS - almost forgot - sound works, but the NIC is not recognized (a Realtek 2.5GB). I installed an Intel 1GB PCIe NIC just for this situation.

 Interesting this came up - I just got a new Gigabyte B760M DS3H MoBo to use with an i5-12600K processor. to replace my old B365M w/i3-8100 system. Was going to dual boot Windows 11 and ArcaOS 5.1 and was able to install everything and it 'works', but ArcaOS only sees 860MB of memory even though 16GB is installed. No amount of BIOS tweaking would change that, so I decided to do what I hoped would never have to be done, and that is install VirtualBox in Windows and run ArcaOS from there.

 Installed ArcaOS 5.1 in VirtualBox and got it working. Normally, I would then zip up my previous install from the old computer, and unzip over the new install on the new computer, boot it, and change whatever drivers needed changing (usually just the NIC). This also 'worked' except I now only have one choice of screen resolution, and that is 640x480x16, even though the original install had more. Tried re-installing the VirtualBox additions from the ArcaOS iso, but no help. Also tried running the ArcaOS install again, but no change.

 I am assuming some file was changed needed for VirtualBox when I unzipped my previous install over the new VirtualBox install - anyone know what file that might be? Or how to get back the screen resolutions installed originally?

Regards,

EDIT: added testlog  booted to new hardware.

 Dave,

 Yep - putting en_US.bdic in the root of the %UNIXROOT% drive solves the error. Thanks for the tip...

Andy,

  At one point Paul changed the names of DLL's to avoid duplicates, so any version of Dooble for QT6  before that won't work now. Try Dave's new one (above) - it seems to work well.

 Thanks Dave! Working good here, also with new block list. One thing I notice with this one I didn't see before: at 'Settings'->'Web'-> 'Spell Checkers' there is a warning: 'en_US.bdic cannot be accessed!'. That file is available in the 'qtwebengine_dictionaries' directory and it worked with the 12/25/2023 version. Does it need to be updated or something?

Paul,

 I've tried all of the files in the \examples folders, here is what I found:

 In the \dbus, \multimedia, and \multimediawidgets folders nothing works. Stuff in the \multimedia folders says this platform is not supported. Stuff in the \dbus folders says to start the dbus. I have dbus installed, but don't know what to do to actually start it - any hints?

 \designer\worldclockbuilder doesn't work - gives an error.

 \help\contextsensitivehelp - works, but blank and SQL error in console

 \quick - all work, but any with sub-folders need the 'shared' folder moved into the same folder as the executable. Then the 'qmldir' file there needs the 'optional plugin xxx' line added with the name of the DLL there. Once that is done they all work, but some (mostly in \particles, \scenegraph, and \shapes directories) have display elements missing and console shows libpng warnings. Does QT6 use the system libpng?

 \widgets\desktop - system tray doesn't work and can't take a screen shot.

 One thing I noticed in the '\QML\QT5Compat\GraphicalEffects' folder - the qmldir file does not have an 'optional plugins xxx' line with the dll name. That dll name is also the same as the one in the 'private' subfolder, where the qmldir file there also has no 'optional plugins xxx' line. I added them and renamed the dll in the 'private' directory. Haven't come accross any other DLL name conflicts yet.

 Another small issue - some examples that work give a POPUPLOG on exit. Mostly in the \Charts\QMLCharts directory but a few others too. They all look very similar - I'll upload the POPUPLOG.

 That's it - as far as I can tell everything else works. This is the best QT6 version yet - much better than the last one! Thanks again! Can't wait for a new webengine...

Regards,

Hi Paul,

  It HAS been awhile... hope all is well! I am running your last QT6 version of Dooble (could you build the latest?) with this new build of QT6.2 and it seems to work as well as the last. Looking forward to the webengine part too. I'll test the examples in the next couple of days... thanks!

Lars,

 Tried these files, but ClassiCube still crashes when I try to open a file dialog in it. I can confirm that the exception list does not work with these - even with classicube-dev.exe in the exception list it crashes. I tried with both the 2017 and 2024 versions of all eCoSoft run time files.

 The fact an exception list was added kinda implies this problem was known, but not fixed for some reason. Maybe you could contact the author to find out why?

Lars,

 I do have FOC set to scan only local drives. Tried backlevelling the 3 eCoSoft runtimes to the 2017 versions - rebooted - but no change. Classicube still crashes when a file dialog appears, but if I add it to the FOC exception list, it works. Maybe the newer PMEX.DLL is at fault? It does have a build level string:

Lars,

 On ArcaOS, 'Computer'-> 'System Setup' -> 'Workplace Shell' -> FOC tab to setup FOC. Page 2 has the exception list. Don't remember if eCS has that or not...
