@ntromans

A long time ago you reported three hardware-related bugs:

https://github.co.../issues/23
https://github.co.../issues/24
https://github.co.../issues/21

It seems to me that at least the network-related ones have been fixed in the meantime. Can you comment on whethere I can close these 3 bugs?

With this Nightly build Testing on VMware, if you try to disable “Start networking during system boot” and save, the operating system will crash. With the reference build 20250418-1 + U2, this problem does not exist!

EDIT:

I reinstalled it and now the system lock seems to be gone.

@deadwood - Regarding rounded frames: it's for frames around UI elements, like a Group frame can be rounded.


This new option is found in Zune Prefs. You need to be careful where you use it. For example, if you use rounding in the ‘Sliders (Cursors)’ section, some buttons will disappear on some apps. You can see this on Mplayer, where the volume button will disappear if the Windows Theme has a light colour.

If, on the other hand, the theme colour is dark, the button will be displayed without a border, as shown in the screenshot. In practice, the rounded function does not allow you to add a border to the button, as shown in the comparison screenshot.

@AMIGASYSTEM - ntromans, I tested two native PCs, VMware and QEmu, and did not encounter your problem. It may be your hardware or some corruption global.prefs file. Have you tried replacing global.prefs installed on the hard disk with the one from the ISO or another ISO?


I deleted all of envarc:, copied across the one from the iso and rebooted; then when saving from Waderer prefs I had the copy problem. As mentioned I might go back and investigate further at a later point but for the moment I'm setting up to test the ABI0 emulation.

Cheers,
Nigel.

No VM I'm afraid. If I get some time I'll try some further test runs, but as you mentioned maye it's just something particular to my i5. Anyway, with a clean start everything seems OK now.

Cheers,
Nigel.

1) Installed to hard drive.

2) Didn't actually need to make any changes - just opening an then saving Wanderer prefs caused the problem.

3) Happened between any partitions.

As mentioned, this was just with the prefs as set in the iso; once deleted and started again from scratch everthing seems to be fine.


I can't replicate this issue. What I did:

Took 20251125 NB ISO and 2GB disk image into VBox. Booted default grub option. Went through default instalation process (Proceed (...) -> reboot -> Proceed ( ) -> Install -> Remove cd from driver -> Reboot).

Then I opened Prefs/Wanderer, clicked Save. Then I tried copying Demos drawer from SYS: to RAM: by drag & drop. Copying worked, no freeze.

EDIT: Can you try repeating this freeze in some VM? Maybe it's somehow related to specific hardware.

I tested four machines with the latest build and they all booted. I didn't do much further testing.

A few questions:
1) is it happening from LiveCD or from installation (LiveUSB or disk)
2) what changes are you making in Prefs/Wanderer
3) does the lock up happen when copying to RAM: or to any disk at all

It's almost time to test NVMe; next month I'm getting the computer.

Thanks for testing and no - the only notable change in this build compared to the previous is vmwaresvga.hidd.

I quickly tested the new Build 20251125-014634, and on Qemu I also tried the new “wmwave driver” on AROs One, and it worked perfectly, see screenshot.

I will continue to test this new Build more thoroughly! Are there any other new features to test in this new Build?

Regarding the issue reported by ntromans, I tested Build 20251110-021008 on a native PC both from a Live USB stick and from an installed hard disk. After saving with Wanderer, I found no problems copying files to RAM.

Now I'm going to try the new Build 20251125-014634 on WmWare!

There is a new Nightly build which I would like to ask you to re-test.

https://build.axrt.org/download/builds/AROS-ABIv11/pc-x86_64-20251125-014634.tar.gz

Please read this post https://www.arosworld.org/infusions/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1707#post_9254 before proceeding.

History:
- improvements to vmwaresvga.hidd

Areas to test:
- it should now be possible to use vmware driver with QEMU (via option '-vga vmware'Wink
- wmwave driver on VMWare and VirtualBox should work the same way as in previous build

Just to say Wanderer prefs are still an issue (at least on native) unless Wanderer's global.prefs included in the nightly is deleted. I changed Wanderer prefs without deleting global.prefs and then found the machine locked up when copying an icon e.g. to ram:. Once global.prefs was been deleted there seems to be no ongoing issue with changing Wanderer prefs.

Cheers,
Nigel.

I tried RNOSuite; there's the problem of the text not being aligned on the GUI, but everything else works.

Firstly, many apologies for dropping out from testing over the last few weeks - between home-life and work-life I've been kept very busy.

I've just installed the latest nightly as linked to on page 9 to my i5 laptop. Looks to be working well (posting from it now). One little bump in the road was I tired to copy across the prefeneces I'd set from the previous install but then there was some odd behaviour - the machine froze when trying to drag-and-drop a file in Wanderer and wirelessmanager locked the machine part way through connecting to the wifi. Anyway, with env-archive reset to that in the release these problemas have gone.

I shall continue testing the release and then finally try the emulation layer.

Cheers,
Nigel.
