I wish we had something similar to sndfile-info but for video, like a port of ffprobe.

This looks like a really good solution, although I can't figure out how to use puticon()

ChatGPT suggests this should work (I don't know Python):
# Test
import icon
diskobj = icon.DiskObject("ram:au.log")
diskobj.tooltypes = ["BUFFER=128", "VERBOSE=YES"]
icon.PutIcon("ram:au.log")


But I just get an error "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PutIcon'"

**Edit.

Nevermind,I got this to work:

# Test
import icon
diskobj = icon.DiskObject("ram:au.log")
diskobj.tooltypes = ["BUFFER=128", "VERBOSE=YES"]
diskobj.PutIcon("ram:au.log")

Writing Tool Types in Arexx
Posted on: 2025/7/21 23:18    #24

Hi all,

This page:
https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_ ... Parsing#Tool_Type_Parsing

Gives a good example of reading tool types in Arexx, does anyone know of a method to write them? I tried to write my own but have only managed to succeed in corrupting the info file.

I'm aware thers is a library rexxtricks that provides this function, but wherever possible I 'm hoping to avoid external libraries.

Thanks!

Re: ADH0 in any drive

@SteffJay

When you say "install anything" do you when you run the Installer, or try to copy something to the hard drive?

If its the former, it could be Installer or one of its dependents is looking for ADH0. There's also, I believe, different Installers, between Hyperion and AEON and possibly other third party replacements

Run Snoopdos and look to see what's trying to access ADH0.

Do you recall ever having a volume with that name?

There are strange things going on when i boot from HDD. The mouse sticks to the top left hand side and i cannot move the mouse anywhere except up or down but it takes the Workbench screen with it.
See Dropbox link -> https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nd5y3ml ... abumpwq54&st=y81h4rvy&dl=

I get this from time to time as well, but a reboot solves it.

Hmm, 2 things I would check :

Make sure uboot is configured to boot from the device it's loading the configuration from
Make sure the USB has SFS added to the kick layout.

Check Devs/Drivers to make sure you have the correct driver installed.

The driver for the onboard ethernet port is called p50x0_eth.device. It is not installed with the OS but from Enhancer (it wasn't ready in time for release so AEON released it with Enhancer, which all X5000 owners should get free).

The driver for the card will depend upon which chipset it uses. Do you know which it is?

I have a small point of criticism and that is that AmiUpdate asks me to perform a warm start after the installation/update. On systems with RX graphics cards this is no longer possible and you should perhaps make the warm start a cold start or add both and the user can then make the right choice for himself.



You read my mind!

Thanks, I will look at replacing the thermal pad. I see they come in different sizes, any idea what size I need? Or any size and cut to fit?

TJ, highly recommend the X5000 cpu temp docky skynet linked.

5020. I've had it since 2017.

I live in the Southern Hemisphere, its winter right now, although my office is reasonably pleasant temperature, but certainly nowhere near 31! Probably not quite 20.

Yeah, 76 does sound high. Maybe because of your high room temperature? Do you know which fan you have? I have the Gelid Silence that most of the X5000s from Amigakit shipped with.

I was work on a project on Friday, not run anything too demanding, when suddenly I noticed a CPU temperature alert. CPU was running 98 degrees!

I powered off and let it cool for a while, then unplugged everything and powered it up lying on its side with the case open to check the CPU fan. It seemed fine.

Plugged everything back in and switched on again. Uboot came up, but OS wouldn't boot. The splash screen sloooowly faded up and then froze.

Left it to cool even longer, then tried again. This time it booted, although again there was the very slow fade up on the splash screen. CPU temperature slowly rose to 58 degrees. I did a backup and powered off.

According to the CPU temp docky, CPU fan speed is 30%. Is there any way to increase this?

I think it's more likely to be the line starting RexxMast, which is the "daemon" making ARexx available to the system.


I did consider that, but one would hope that the out-of-the-box OS would be able to handle that scenario more gracefully than bring boot to a grinding halt.

@Swisso

SysMon is listing the libraries that have been loaded into memory and are in use, rexxsyslib.library being Arexx, which is still 68k. I would guess that you are running an Arexx script at boot-up, either in startup-sequence or WBStartup. That would explain why moving it out causes a boot failure; whatever it is can't run arexx and is hanging the boot process.

Ghosting a Reaction String Gadget
Posted on: 2025/5/8 3:43    #40
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk
Hi all,

I am using Arexx and broadblues's Proaction to create an application with a Reaction interface.

I have noticed that if I want to ghost a string gadget by setting the GA_Disabled tag, then the gadget doesn't instantly ghost out - it only becomes ghosted when the user clicks on the field.

Similarly, if GA_Disabled is set to 0 to enable the string gadget, then the gadget remains in the ghosted state until the user clicks on it.

Other gadgets, e.g., Integer, ghost instantly, although check boxes don't change appearance at all but become unresponsive.

I have tried Rethink the GUI, that didn't help. Is there a specific procecure for disabling string gadgets?

Here's my code to create the string gadget:

'ADDGADGET GUIID ' GuiKey ' GADGETCLASS "string.gadget" TAGSTRING "STRINGA_TextVal,Enter Text,STRINGA_Justification,GACT_STRINGLEFT,GA_HintInfo,Enter required text,CHECKBOX_TextPlace,PLACETEXT_LEFT,GA_Disabled,0,TAG_DONE"'
    TextStrField = RESULT
    'NEWIMAGE GUIID ' GuiKey ' IMAGECLASS "label.image" NODISPOSE TAGSTRING "LABEL_Text,Enter required text:,TAG_DONE"'
    IMGID = RESULT
    'SETATTRS GUIID ' GuiKey ' OBJECTID ' TextEntry' TAGSTRING "LAYOUT_ModifyChild,' || DefaultTextGroup || ',CHILD_Label,' || IMGID || ',TAG_DONE"'


And to disable it:

'SETATTRS GUIID ' || GuiKey || ' OBJECTID '|| TextStrField ||' TAGSTRING "GA_Disabled,0,TAG_DONE"'


Thanks for any assistance.
