@TSK

There's some thread that duscusses possible sullutions...

I'd like to know if there is a proper way to install a new font to the system.

Manually I should do the followings:
- Start TypeManager select the source and system fonts drawers then install the font
- To be shown properly I have to modify hinter attribute to no hinter in TypeManager

Could it be done by a script somehow?
That would be nasty if I have to explain these steps to the user during install.

AFAIK TypeManager do not accept commandline parameters and doesn't have an arexx port.

Where are that font attributes are stored?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Aren't there any electric engineers in this community who could try to find a fix to this battery problem ?!?

@Jack

I had the impression that when the OS4 USB stack doesn't
automatically mounts a device by startup you won't be able
to use it (yet).

Using a "mounter" kind of programs afterwards doesn't work
with USB ... or am i completely mistaken here?

@Rigo

Thanks for joining


Lets start with the hardware and system information:

AOneXE 750GX 800MHz (USB & DMA fixed)
1 GB (2x 512 MB) Kingston RAM
Sapphire Radeon 9800 SE
Sigmatel AC97 (re-fitted on-board)

Startup-Sequence:

Nothing fancy except i use "SetPatch ADDCHIPRAM=2 QUIET"

User Startup:

I have SDK installed and let Allkeys run from here
plus the bunch of assigns and path addings

WBStartup:

AISS
AmiDock (Push4Dock)
ASyncWB
ContextMenus
CPUTemp.Docky
DefIcons
DNetC
LimpidClock
Mixer
OS4Reboot
RAWBInfo
ScreenBlankerEngine (Black Screen by default)

Misc:

Aqua theme installed

@spotUP + Raziel

As much information as possible would be really helpfull here, as I am unable to reproduce the problem here

AmigaAmp used sndfile.library (m68k) to access aiff files, dunno how much overhead is there (mayne not at all when all io is ppc native), but I prefer the bultin analog playback of the CDDA. Why not use it. Setup freedb/cddb with playcd and viola!)

Edit: and analog playback is less noisy than extaction the sdda via software...

Point taken. Will check the previous one and see if it's ok and then if problem reoccurs, I'll short the contacts in the holder.

Meanwhile new battery seems to do the job.

@Jack

Yes, ineffective it might be but OS4 hardware does not
support digital input if I recall. So the sound quality may
suffer. CD input is only analog on A1 hardware.

There does exist a digital input but it doesn't work or
isn't supported if I recall my conversations with DaveAE
correctly. On ?A1-C anyway. Sound cards may be different.

IMO to read it digitally and send it out digitally is
the best way of preserving the audio quality.
Btw I don't think streaming CDDA audio (1411Kbit/s) is
that demanding on the system.

Does OS4 even have any drivers for hardware that supports
hardware RAID?
What about the SCSI or IDE/SATA drivers?

@ssolie

How do you know?

Proove it!

@LiveForIt
DoIO() works just fine.

@Jack

Thanks, Jack. That worked for AmigaAMP; unfortunately although the files now show up in Amplifier also they don't load if I double-click on them. Oh well...

@Raziel

i have probs with amiupdate screwing up the palette too.
edit: i use the default theme.

Hi @Jack

Any ideas?

Well, I'm backup and running! Before I put in the new battery, I depolarized the battery contacts in the holder; remove battery and jumper '+' to '-' contact posts. Why? I once had no system clock at all and fiddled around to get it work. I think there's a ballast capacitor in the circuit that loses it's sense of "-" and "+" orientation to the battery.
No BS; really!

@thread

If i may i take the opportunity to ask you users of AmiUpdate
a favour - could you try the following:

Use a custom theme (i for one use Aqua by ToAks)

1. Open up AmiUpdate thru icon (double-click) or Docky
2. Close AmiUpdate (completely shut it down)
3. Open any other program (Reaction or MUI doesn't matter)
and close them again
Do this a couple ot times...and see if your color 0 has been
changed. (You can alos open Palette prefs, but for me nothing
changes if i do so, only with opening another program first)

This behaviour is a nuisance (and the reason why i don't use
AmiUpdate at the moment) and happens to me every time i
open and close it.

Mostly it messes up AWeb, so if you have a chance to install
it, do so and test, it messes up the complete background
color of AWeb, but also YAM (MUI) is affected and every
other program

Simon is aware of that but wasn't able to track down the
problem yet (as hes using a plain OS4 install - no custom
themes - and me not being able to give enough feedback)

If you come across the same bahaviour, please note it and
help me out here

Thanks

Hi @ikir

I think AmiUpdate should be part of OS4 installation,

Yes! I've been offline for a couple months for system repairs and word "update" is running around like wildman in my head- ugh. I'd be curious to know AmiUpdate would handle a situation like mine. I'm not sure of the range of files it handles.

@TMTisFree

Thanks! I've made a special report to AV over here:

http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... =20&viewmode=flat&order=0

I've been busy now catching up the last two months!

@Valiant

same stuff happened here until I openet config, system tab and changed the pattern to :

#?.(mp3|mp2|aiff|wav)|Track#?

(it looks ghosted but it editable once you click on it, restart of the program is needed afair)

Jack

Edit:
BTW: very ineffective way to play CDDA (imho), it reads all the data instead of using internal playback of the device...

@Swoop

Of course not. When files and dirs are moving, there are not moving physically on the disk, as it takes about 2 seconds to move an entire install. back to its dir. and again about 2 seconds to move the install you want to SYS:.
Then you reboot.

So 4 seconds to change the system + a reboot, I don't think that is difficult or long to do.

Edit: double post

Bye,
