General Discussion / Re: Re: Do we still need a 64-bit version of OS/2? And a possible roadmap provided ...

Hi andrew

I found this little trick to help with boot timing problems in the past:-

Open Editor (e.exe) and Save As [BootDrive]H:\OS2\BOOT\ALTF2ON.$$$- Yes, an empty "dummy" file.

This reports every driver that it has loaded during boot which seems to help with timing issues. Also useful if boot gets stuck at some point as you can see how far booting got before failing.

Hi Remy

Just retried https://earthquakes.volcanodiscovery.com/ and it loaded, see attached image - no high cpu use, just a few minor peaks on loading.

Playing around with various links at the top of page causes dooble to close though.

Hi Remi

I just tried https://earthquakes.volcanodiscovery.com/ with latest qt6 and dooble. The result was that the page loaded enough to display then dooble closed with no log. Definitely a problem there as I tried that url 2 more times with the same result.

Hi Dave

The suggestion of using the files in @unixroot\usr\share\myspell would not work here due to a lack of @unixroot\usr\share\myspell so I pointed set QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH= to the existing qt5 files which seemed to work.

Have now installed your dictionary package within the qt6 directory tree and reset QTWEBENGINE_DICTIONARIES_PATH= to point to those files.


Thanks

Hi All

Having visited  https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble/tree/master/Dictionaries  I have no idea on how to get these dictionaries.

Are they different to the Dooble_QT5 versions?

Hi Martin

Based on my recent expoerience of getting dooble_QT6 working you could add Heimdal to the list of needed packages - contains the needed GSSAPI.DLL

You could also clarify that the  yum install libvpx  is a different package to libvpx - https://smedley.id.au/tmp/libvpx-1.13.0-os2-20230303.zip  and that both packages are required.

Hi All

Could not download this file with Seamonkey or Dooble.

I experimented a little and found I could download the file with both browsers as long as I changed the url to
   https://rpm.netlabs.org/test/qw.7z

Applications / Re: Unzip Version 6.0 hangs when booting to a commandline

« on: August 02, 2024, 01:16:43 pm »

Hi Lars

I was just pointing out that klibcfg.ini is not involved.

I also tried when booted to the command line: unzip hangs, Ctrl-C kills it.
I would guess some required DLL files are not found when booted to command line.

Hi Lars

I do not have an %ETC%\klibcfg.ini file but unzip works when booted to the Desktop so I doubt klibcfg.ini is involved in any way.

Hi Dave

Here Seamonkey does display the rest of the page as far as I can tell.

It seems youtube will not let Seamonkey play the vids simply because Seamonkey is not on the "supported" browser list as clicking on the "Learn more" link accompanying the "Your browser can't play this video" takes me to https://www.youtube.com/supported_browsers. Funnily that page tells me

"Your browser is up to date

You can use YouTube's latest features!"


Obviously something wrong with youtube coding....

I set NoScript to allow all on that page, reloaded page but no change.


I'll give ClipCrab a try, Thanks for the pointer Rene.

Pete
