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 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.

Thanks, they are excellent pics!

@trixie

Great article, would be awesome with some pics of the card installed... If you can steel yourself to open the csse again.

@broadblues

Thanks,that's perfect!

And now its back to not working...

...huh???

Sorry, ignore this, it just started working... ???

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:



And to disable it:



Thanks for any assistance.

Thanks for the new articles, enjoyed the Sam v A1222 head-to-head. I'm unlikely to get either one, but still an interesting comparison - personally, I would go for the Sam.

@smarkusg

Agree, really impressive. I had glanced at your efforts from time to time with interest and even tried qemu myself, but alas found it incomprehensible.

Congratulations and hopefully you'll help grow the community!

D'oh, thanks Thomas.

Hi everyone,

A quick question that has got me stumped - can 'status' only be run from a shell? I am trying to use it in an arexx script to determine if a process is running or not.

So, from a shell:

creates a file in ram with a list of running processes.

But the following arexx script does nothing:



Not even an empty file.

@TiredOfLife

I had a similar issue, I had started but not completed an order with a different email address. Oliver had to delete my old order so I could complete a new one.

Hopefully he sees this soon and fixes it for you.

I was excited to give WormHole a go, but alas it doesn't work for me.

When I start it on my X5000, it just blinks between red and yellow. On my Windows 10 machine, it shows green.

Edit:

Ah, the issue was my firewall on Win 10. Switching it off allowed my X5000 to connect. Now I need to figure out how to configure firewall to allow WormHole.

I've been railing against this stupid bug for years. The Enhancer Time Prefs is just broken.

You could try ffmpeg rather than mplayer.

I remember when I had an Android phone, heic was the default codec for my wife's iPhone, and I couldn't read any of the pictures she sent me. There wasn't even a heic codec for Android. In thd end I changed the default on her phone to jpeg.

I have been trying to buy Nova ridge, but the Web store is broken and I just get server error 500. Have tried contacting customer service to no avail.
