Hardware / Re: Changing video driver on ArcaOS?
« on: September 10, 2020, 10:42:42 am »
Yes, I've missed the eCS wizards, too. It has video, postinstall, mmecs and acpi wizards. The later ArcaOS versions have improved installations, e.g. WarpIN scripts, to make most of them superfluous.

You can update all versions since ArcaOS 5.0 to 5.0.6. The updater is included since 5.0.4.

Upgrading between major version of ArcaOS is planned.

Migrating from eCS or OS/2 W4.x is planned.

See here.

Maybe also interesting: Changelog, ArcaOS, ArcaOS Roadmap

I know that USBD.SYS should (must) be first,
That's also what I remembered. It was below the others and above the newly added X type. After moving USBD.SYS above, I had the same problem with phase 2.

Yes, Lars has fixed his drivers to accept any order.

I believe the installer runs "LVM.EXE /RediscoverPRM" from STARTUP.CMD,
Yes. I've used the program object in the drives folder, but that didn't help either.

add "sleep 2" to the beginning of STARTUP.CMD, then continue to phase 2.
No, that won't help. I had renamed STARTUP.CMD from another partition to avoid automatic execution. In phase 2 the desktop booted and I executed STARTUP.CMD manually, but with the same message.

Now I remember that there was a message that AiRBoot doesn't work anymore and that it needs to be manually reinstalled first. But AiRBoot had worked. At phase 2 it boots to the CSM to let it boot from harddisk, which boots the correct partition. After these tries, AiRBoot still works normally.

Phase 2 uses a slightly modified version of your own CONFIG.SYS, from the hard disk. If
there is something odd in there, it may not work quite right.
Yes, the order of USBD.SYS, as I wrote. It's all very similar to eCS, where I was more involved.

Doug, do you know, if the order of the USB drivers still matters with 12.07? In the config.sys of my new-install try I have:

Code: [Select]
BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBXHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBXHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0

In the config.sys of the update I had (before I moved USBD.SYS above):

Code: [Select]
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBOHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBEHCD.SYS

...

BASEDEV=USBD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBXHCD.SYS
BASEDEV=USBXHCD.SYS

and probably below:

Code: [Select]
BASEDEV=USBHID.SYS
BASEDEV=USBMSD.ADD /REMOVABLES:8 /FLOPPIES:0

Again: Both don't recognize the USB stick in phase 2.

(I guess I have to report it to David. Before that, I have to try if it can be reproduced.)

Sure, but they worked already before the USB 3 drivers.

The internal connections can change, when the X controller is added to the mix. Perhaps that is where the problem lies.

Doug, interesting. It was already added for phase 1 by the CSM and didn't work with the config.sys on the boot drive for phase 2. BTW: I've tried 2 ports before writing. The second try was with a one beneath the PS/2 ports, which is usually connected to USB 2 chips, if any.

With Lars' Hardware Manager and then (gues it was Dmitry's) Hardware Explorer in tree view it shouldn't be a problem to confirm that. I wish I had found a way to make at least the XWP objects visible after the phase 1 of the update. Maybe I should better have used usbtree for that.

Now, apart from setting all the folders to 'as placed' and to 'not maintain sort order' I have to work out how to get back the standard OS/2 sloped icons - with all due respect to whoever designed the flat icons I don't like them, too much like the uninspired win 10 offering, sorry.
Interesting. I feared that. Disabling always sort and changing the icon theme belong to the first things I configure. Unfortunately, there exists no way to get the icon positions back as before, IIRC. Maybe it helps to disable that before opening the first folder with the WPS. Instead of the blue folder icons, I use the standard eCS theme. It works for all, except for the Network folder. I remember that the ITheme format has changed and adapted it, but didn't try more.

That can happen, IF you were using a pre=release version of the USB drivers (where did you get ArcaOS 5.1, it hasn't been released to the testers, yet).
OK, sorry for the confusion. It's 5.0.1 GA. (I had named it here 5.1 many years ago, because it followed 5.0.) I was wrong. I've fixed it in my text above.

But it happened also with a full reinstall. So, the USB drivers in the ISO (12.07) most likely doesn't work here.

USB 2 ports are not always connected to an EHCD controller. They can be connected to an XHCD controller.
Sure, but they worked already before the USB 3 drivers.

If that stick was connected to XHCI (USB 3.x)
Sure, but no, it wasn't. I've used the (black) USB 2 ports. And the XHCI driver was installed, what makes me wonder for an update, because it was communicated otherwise. After that, I tried a new installation on that partition. Same problem: USB stick can't be found in phase 2. Now I really have to burn a DVD.

BTW: That was my first installation from USB. I've already tried it when that feature was new, but copying the .iso file had failed. I was too busy with other stuff to try it again. Additionally, I had hardware problems with an almost new Kingston SSD.

The USB stick creation went without problems and the BIOS can boot from it.

I've tried to update one of my test/service partitions that had ArcaOS 5.0.1 with the USB stick. Phase 1 continued, but after reboot from harddisk for phase 2, it can't find the USB stick anymore. The USB drivers doesn't seem to work. I've tried to load USBD.SYS as first USB entry (it was appended before the new USBHID.SYS), but that didn't help. Even with disabling startup.cmd, the RediscoverRPM object in the drives folder won't add the drive R:

Will try to burn a DVD later.

Edit: Corrected ArcaOS version number.

I just updated and now ANPM is broken.
Scan the log files in %LOGFILES%\* (default is ?:\var\log\*) for entries with the word 'error'.

Internet / Re: socket () fails: Protocol family not supported
« on: August 28, 2020, 11:14:30 pm »
Its not a really big deal- informative but takes a little longer to boot.
No, it takes not longer than without the messages.

According to what you've reported, your system seems to have disk problems. I would try to reproduce that with the same hardware first. Please report only after that.

Multimedia / Re: CD Audio Player
« on: August 27, 2020, 01:04:44 am »
If you like the Chris Wohlgemuth CD player (in place of Classic Player) connect a drive audio cable to analog audio output of your drive IDE or SCSI (SATA drives does not have it anymore) to analog audio input of your motherboard sound interface or similar input of your offboard sound card.
Analog input works, but that results in more hum. As already written, the only CD player that supports digital transfer, is the IBM player.

Sounds interesting. Igor, could you report that to David, either as AN bug report or per PM?

I'm sure, he doesn't read here.
