I ended up just running "fc-cache" in a shell (without the --force --verbose args) and now AmiCynix comes up OK, apparently.

Sylpheed doesn't know my ISP preferences. I wonder where they are supposed to be?

making AmiCynix work on SAM460

Posted on: 2011/4/18 2:54 #164

I copied my AmiCygnix directory from my AmigaOne to SAM460ex.

I wasn't surprised to find that it wouldn't just work as is, but is there any way to tweak it so it will?

Or do I have to reinstall it in a clean directory? (I did copy over

amicygnix-base.lha 81465640 ----rw-d 19-Dec-09 15:05:00
amicygnix-tools.lha 50458750 ----rw-d 19-Dec-09 16:59:51

in case I need them.)

I'm hoping I won't have to reinstall and reconfigure everything.

I'm not sure what you mean, either, but my HP Color Laser Jet 2605dn does a great job.

Perhaps the important thing is that it is a PostScript printer.

I'm very confused. Are you extracting the archive to RAM: and then running Install and pointing it to the directory you extracted? If so, please don't do that - point it directly to where you want it on your HD, or at the very least to a newly-created directory in RAM:.

I don't think that was what I was doing. I wish I had made a log file of that one because it at least was working and I was starting to use it sometimes instead of OWB (I did have an occasional problem with SSL certificates).

Today I installed three more times, once each as Expert, Novice, and Intermediate. Novice to see if I had answered the question about whether to install a larger libxml2.so over a smaller one with a new date stamp correctly when I played Expert. I didn't get a clear answer, and the Novice Install put NetSurf in a really strange place (my YAM drawer!).

None of the three new installs work.

If this isn't what you are doing, can you please ask Installer to create a log file and post it or email it to me?

I'll e-mail all three of today's log files.

I decided to simply delete everything and reinstall. Not straightforward for me. I had the archive in my NetSurf drawer and chose to unarch there. It said it wouldn't make a new drawer, but after a failure (something about something already being there) I checked and there was a NetSurf/NetSurf/.

Started over, moving the archive to RAM: where I unarchived it and ran Install. In the installation process I was asked whether to add it to launch-handler, suggesting "no" if it had been done before. I looked at launch-handler, and couldn't find any indication of what might be there, so guessed that I had probably answered "yes" the first time I installed NetSurf, and went "no."

Given the chance, I chose to install the Cairo version.

Later I was told that install had failed to copy libz.so.1.2.5 but it would be updated the next time I booted or something.

After deleting the old NetSurf, I copied RAM:NetSurf and RAM:NetSurf.info to that location.

About this time something crashed the machine and I had to use the reset button.

I clicked the NetSurf icon and a window opened, containing Install, NetSurf.guide, netsurf.readme, and Rexx. "Show all files" got me a lot more, including screwdriver icons labelled "ftr," "NetSurf-Cairo," and "NetSurf." C:list reports

I clicked the NetSurf screwdriver, then Execute, and determined that my initial problem--not getting jpegs properly loaded, was solved. Clicking "fitr" and "Execute" just gets me
"fitr (c) 2009 Chris Young
http://www.unsatisfactorysoftware.co.uk/fitr." I'm not sure what that's for.

Clicking the NetSurf-Cairo screwdriver, representing my install choice, and Execute gets me the "Failed to load shared object libz.so" sequence that bothered me before and "NetSurf-Cairo: file is not executable." OK, I guess, as long as the "NetSurf" screwdriver works.

I was a bit surprised to find NetSurf/SObjs. Sys:SObjs contains the same files--do I need both?

There's a problem with the link creation in the install script, which can mess up libz.so. You shouldn't need to copy anything back, just delete libz.so (and .1 etc - leaving only libz.so.1.2.5), then run:
makelink sobjs:libz.so libz.so.1.2.5 soft
makelink sobjs:libz.so.1 libz.so.1.2.5 soft
makelink sobjs:libz.so.1.2 libz.so.1.2.5 soft

What I get for those is essentially the same.

7.OS41:> makelink sobjs:libz.so libz.so.1.2.5 soft
MAKELINK: too many levels

Quote:

Use readelf (from the SDK) or listdyndep (available from OS4Depot) on NetSurf and libmng.so.1.

Since I had readelf lying around anyway, I tried it with each of the options. None gave anything like what you say below. I thought I would read the manual, but gave up. Surely there must be a way to view the manual without all the format coding? (So many things I don't know and probably won't have time to learn in my last 12 +/-12 years.)

I'll go after listdyndep later, but if I can't do the makelinks, there is probably no rush.

I just noticed something I hadn't seen before. There is a NetSurf drawer (from October 24) in Sys:SObjs/, containing another SObjs/ with only (a second) libjpeg.so.8 in it. Surely something (trivially) wrong here?

NetSurf should give you a list like this (wow, what a lot of dependencies!)

All I can suggest is,
* Make sure NetSurf really is v2.6 (Project=>About)
* Manually copy libjpeg.so.8 from the NetSurf archive into SObjs: replacing whatever is there
* Make sure there is no libjpeg.so.8 in NetSurf's own drawer

I must be doing something terribly stupid.

I did check Project => About before reporting the problem.

Instead of copying as you suggest, I went back to the archive and dearchived only libjpeg.so.8 into SObjs. Shouldn't that be the same?

There was no libjpeg.so.8 in NetSurf/, but there was a libjpeg.so; I deleted it and clicked the NetSurf icon again, and the complaint was "no libjpeg.so"!

I emptied NetSurf/ leaving only the Resource and ARexx drawers (I should have left NetSurf.info too--I'm back to the screwdriver icon) and from a RAM:-based dearchive, I ran Install, with everything going to NetSurf/. The install ended with;
___________________________________
Install (100% done)
The following shared objects failed to copy. These will be updated on next reboot.
libz.so.1.2.5
-----------------------------------------------------
So I rebooted.

Now I am back to the old "Failed to load shared object libz.so" and "Failed to load shared object libmng.so.1." Previously when I got those messages, I copied said files from an OS4.1 backup. In fact libmng.so.1 is still in SObjs:, but no libz.so, only libz.so.1.1, libz.so.1.2.3, and libz.so.1.2.5. Oh, I did get a message during install that the libmng.so.1 to be copied had a newer date than the one to be replaced. Sounded fine to me, so I said go ahead.

I downloaded and installed 2.6 today, with little trouble (well, it seems I have to keep replacing the same SObjects--libz.so and libmng.so.1--I don't know what keeps happening to them).

But I do have one mysterious and nasty problem--it doesn't show jpegs. Instead, it reports

Wrong JPEG library version: library is 62, caller expects 80

Also, I tried replying to this from NetSurf, but no edit window window came up.

Sure enough, if I do other things for a while first, Sylpheed goes straight through the process of loading new Usenet titles followed without fail by checking my pop3 server.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that in these cases I have always used the internet with YAM or IBrowse or OWB before I try connecting in AmiCygnix?

@cygnusEd

I don't know if this makes any sense, but Sylpheed has connected fine four of the last five times I have launched it, once yesterday and three times today.

What I noticed is that I have had the machine running for some time when Sylpheed worked right. Usually I go directly to AmiCynix and Sylpheed on booting my Amiga, to look at Usenet before I get on to other things. That seems to be when I have trouble.

For the next few days, I will wait perhaps an hour before launching AmiCygnix and Sylpheed and see what happens. I don't see how it could possibly make a difference, but if it does I won't really care how.

I hadn't heard of Claws Mail. Can it be simply installed in AmiCygnix?

My e-mail account is POP3. Port 995.SSL v3.

I need to review some less-than-obvious configuration details in Sylpheed. For one thing, I can't remember what I did that causes it to look up Usenet lists before checking my POP3 mail.

Usually the Usenet list check is successful. Then it tries to connect with POP3; maybe once a month it is successful there too.

This morning it failed to get Usenet or POP3 either one, to start with. I waited while it thought about telling me "[not responding]" and then the usual 60 seconds more when that came up in the title bar. After I clicked OK on the failure alert, I clicked Get All, and it started connecting successfully with Usenet, followed by getting POP3.

Are you able to send and receive e-mails? Normally this delay only happens, when the connection to the e-mail server fails.
Please check your setting of the e-mail account.

I thought my "(By the way, if I click Get after OK'ing the failure alert, my e-mail comes up immediately.)" answered that question in advance. No problem with e-mail once Sylpheed gets tired of "[Not Responding]" and reports a failure to connect with the e-mail server--a long wait--I click Get and get connected instantly.

Actually, I make limited use of Sylpheed for e-mail, using it to read e-mail that has Word doc or Excel attachments for example--things that I can handle in AmiCygnix but not in plain OS4. For me, Sylpheed is primarily a Usenet machine.

Sylpheed time out

Posted on: 2010/8/28 22:23 #176

Just popping in

Almost always when I launch Sylpheed, it fails to automatically connect with my pop3 e-mail server. After a bit over a long, long minute an alert will appear apprising me of that failure. During that minute nothing else can be done.

To make matters a bit worse, Sylpheed often conks out on me, expecially when I am moving the mouse pointer, leaving no mouse or keyboard input. I have to click the A1 tower's reset button. Rebooting is fairly quick, but then I have to relaunch Sylpheed, and there's that one-minute-plus wait again.

I thought I had found a way to fix that. In Sylpheed's Configuration menu there is Common Preferences, leading to Details with an Advanced tab. And that tab has a place to set Socket I/O timeout. Hopefully, I changed that from 60 seconds to 15 seconds and successfully saved the change.

It turns out that Socket I/O is not related to my problem. It still takes over a minute for the application to admit that it failed to make the connection. (By the way, if I click Get after OK'ing the failure alert, my e-mail comes up immediately.)

So I ask, is there any way to shorten that annoying delay?

I've been starting OWB with StartOWB, using the "Use this script if you run OWB on Workbench screen WITHOUT OWBLauncher" option.

Very frequently when I change pages, I get an "IconX" alert, telling me that "font family '<different font name each time>' not found." I can't find any reason that a font family would even be sought after in the StartOWB script or in Clipdown.guide.

Can someone tell me how to cure this?

AmiPDF vs. AmiGS

Posted on: 2010/8/1 2:16 #179

I just spent some time looking at the users' screen shots, from the newest working backwards.

I noticed that everyone seemed to have AmiPDF available on Workbench, but no one had AmiGS.

This interests me because I have noticed that AmiPDF complains a lot about files I want to view, sometimes failing entirely, while AmiGS displays them all, no backtalk. I've been thinking of taking AmiPDF off the Dock so I won't mistakenly launch it.

Others' experiences completely different?
