Internet / Re: Browser or website problem?
« on: June 16, 2020, 03:28:17 pm »
I'm noticing some improvement in the GCC 9.2 build of Firefox included with ArcaOS 5.0.5. Have these builds been posted somewhere, or are they exclusive to Arca Noae?

137
I have successful installations from DVD, USB stick and from the hard drive.

My test systems are here. Other Arca Noae testers have other systems.

Some pages have not been updated yet, and still talk about 5.0.4, but all system have been tested with the GA or with one of the last betas.

ArcaOS 5.0.5 is included with your valid ArcaOS Support & Maintenance subscription at no additional charge. To download your fresh ISO, simply visit your Arca Noae customer portal page, select the Orders & Subscriptions link on the navigation panel to the left, then click on the order for your ArcaOS license. Once there, click the download link to request a fresh ISO, and wait for your notification email.

If your ArcaOS Support & Maintenance subscription has already expired, and you missed your window of opportunity to renew at regular rates, you may still renew at less than the cost of a new ArcaOS license.

Arca Noae sells only digital versions of ArcaOS. If you want a DVD or USB stick version, you can make your own. Instructions are provided with ArcaOS.

If you would rather buy the DVD or USB stick, Blonde Guy has plenty of them on hand. See the following link to shop for ArcaOS on DVD or USB stick. International shipping is now available.

Setup & Installation / Re: ArcaOS - in place upgrade - version 5.0.4
« on: June 03, 2020, 11:01:03 pm »
I think it's smarter to have programs and operating system on one drive. Since settings are going to be scattered around between os, programs and data, you really don't get any benefit from separating programs and os. It's worth taking some trouble to separate data from programs/os.

Part of the problem is that there is no firm line between programs and operating system. On other operating systems, it makes perfect sense to separate programs and operating system. Which is \usr? Is it operating system or is it programs?

is %home% data or operating system?

I have tested update in a few systems, and I'm pretty happy with the result.

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad T540p with two bootable ArcaOS volumes. One has USB 11.17, and runs websee UVCView.exe perfectly. The second has USB 12.05 and  UVCView terminates with an error: [0000FF14] Obtain thread error!

Hi Neil,

PMMail is running here, built on GCC 9.2.

Do you need any (additional?) testers?

I've got 4 email accounts defined in PMMail currently, thousands of email messages...happy to put it through it's paces.

Thanks!

Testers are on the PMMail users mailing list, and have access to PMMail Mantis for bug reporting. See the PMMail website for details. This thread shows we are having some issues registering new users.

New testers are welcome.

Neil

That seems to be the trick. I installed under ArcaOS Beta. You probably can see what happened. ArcaOS beta has unreleased software in it. So I went to a ArcaOS 5.0.4 GA installation and gcc and gcc++ install. But when I go to run, gcc fails because it can't spawn as.

Quote
g++.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'as': spawnvp: No such file or directory

I tried installing binutils, and that seemed to make it happy.

Maybe this should be it's own thread, but I have hit a snag building PMMail. If I attempt to install gcc from netlabs-rel, it fails because there is a dependency error. The libraries in netlabs-rel that support gcc don't match the gcc in netlabs-rel.

Hardware / Re: List of OS/2 Tested/Reported Motherboards
« on: May 14, 2020, 03:28:55 pm »
I'd be curious to see in the hardware listings an entry to say "This is available to buy new." vs. "This is of historical interest."

Once a xHCI driver is available, I'd think a few new motherboards would be available.

Programming / Re: Git : SVN plugin

I am using the free version of SmartSVN 7.07 to maintain the source code for PMMail. I also use Visual SlickEdit as my coding editor.

I don't remember what version of SVN the VOICE server is running.

It turns out to be a prerequisites problem after all. the missing libraries were ft2lib and expat.

Thanks everyone!

Applications / OpenOffice 4.1.7 gives error on startup
« on: May 04, 2020, 04:07:20 am »
With WarpIN now working, I've got OpenOffice installed. Yum has installed all prerequisites. Yet, I'm seeing the attached error message.

The DLL mentioned, G:\OpenOffice417\program\deploy.dll exists on disk, 576k, date 1/27/20.

Hardware / Re: USBDRV ?
« on: April 30, 2020, 03:41:13 pm »
USB audio and WebCam work with Lars drivers and Arca Noae drivers 11.17. Arca Noae drivers 12.x do not yet have support for the USB functions required for audio or webcam.

USB audio works very well. If you are a long-time user, you may have to recall what good support looks like.

The correct answer appears to be the ACPI one. Re-installing WarpIN makes no difference. With ACPIDAEMON.EXE terminated, WarpIN opens it's database normally.
