@Phantom

I am using Yahoo and I have not this problem.
I suggest you to reinstall yam in a new fresh directory.
As some people will tell you, you will use yam debug and write a post in the yam site.
My second suggestion is to use snoopdos to see if the error does not come from a mui library. (Have you all the last mui libraries?).

Hope you'll find a solution.

@DrZarkov

I don't understand german either.
Try to verify the address of the port and the number of the port used.
For yahoo.fr, it is 995 for example.
After, choose the security connection, here is ssl and the password is not crypted.
When I configured all this a few years ago, I should do some changes on my yahoo account to autorize the connection.

I hope that will help you a little.

@HammerD
The device random: is not created by odyssey but by the system.
You must use the random dosdriver.
I think it is located on sys:storage/dosdrivers. Move it to sys:devs/dosdrivers and launch it.
After that, with each reboot, it will be launched automatically.

I am using fastfix2

Since yesterday, I have an error using Odyssey. This error arises regularly but I can ignore and go on.
I can't tell you how to reproduce the error, so I hope with the crashlog you will guess the origin of the error.

@sundown

I confirm what Slayer wrote.
Sometimes, the torrent file is compressed. Use unarc to decompact and use the bin file.
However, I haven't found this kind of torrent file for ages.

@eliyahu

Could you be more specific about torrents didn't work ?
when you launch ctorrent (or the guictorrent) do you have an error at startup ?
A message like ""error, initial meta info failed." appears for some torrents and not for others ?
If that occurs, it is normal, this is a known bug and it was corrected in an old patch.

@xeno74

Thanks. I will test it.

@xeno74

I have a partition left of 500 G.
I would like test linux on my sam440.
Would you tell me which link I should use for download ?
And which Linux is better ? Debian or Ubuntu ?

My interest about Linux is to use a more modern browser.

Thanks

@trixie

Your article is very interesting.
I hope you will write again about gui.

Thanks

@Joeled
Well, A few months ago, I tried to install Baldur'sgate too.
I never succeded. I don't know if it is an problem of game installation, configuration of the init file of gemrb or both.
So if you would want to pm me or put here the solution, I would be happy.
Thanks
YesCop

AmiDark,
I agree with Kas1e. Use compositing as Thellier told you already, no ?

I tested Cairo. You can make some cools effects easily but for me the cairo methods are not finished. If I remember well, I had problems when combing differents screens, only composing mode worked, or when I used the svg, pdf format as output.

Because of the reason detailed by ssolie, I never close a frozen window and sometimes don't play with grimreaper as that can be the way to freeze not only one program but all the system.
I prefer waiting and soft reset.
Ssolie, is it planned that the OS4 system supports a way to freeze or kill a task ?

Hi,

for me on sam 440, TW doesn't crash anymore at startup. I tried four times. But I have always this problem. Sometimes, when I want to access to some pages, TW is in a loop state. It tries to connect but the image connection (rolling circle) stays grey and not green.
When this arrives, I know I must quit TW and relaunch it because no more connection are made.
it is a pity. Even it is slower than MuiOwb, I like to use TW.

ncafferkey,

I think too, it is not a memory related problem.

I would like the author of roadshow to explain this error and may be we will find the cause.

Raziel,
Yes you could be right but I made this test.

I launched four ctorrents application and use muiOWB in 100% cpu condition.
I used the same ctorrent and create an another 100% cpu conditions.
I used ffmpeg to convert some videos or I copied big files or I just listed a big directory.
In these conditions, I never obtained an internet drop.

It is for me an internet connection problem but I am right with you.
I can't be sure that ctorrent is not the culprit.

Here are my conclusions.
I launched several ctorrents in shells without any problem.
There were not any other program using internet.
When I launch MuiOwb and the cpu is at 100% (heavy pages for example), the pourcentage of internet drop is very high.

I can't test with timberwolf as it is too slow on SAM 440.

Sorry, I wasn'tso precise.
when I wrote I used DHCP, I wanted to say that the router uses DHCP to any material connected and now configure my amiga ip to 0.20.

In internet prefs, I don't use DHCP and use ip fixed for my amiga.
I did that to configure the ports associated to my amiga, essentially ports around 2700 for my torrent connections.

Broadblues,

Raziel, i give you my interface configuration:
device=ppc440ep_eth.device
hardwaretype=Ethernet
address=192.168.0.20
netmask=255.255.255.0

As you see, I change the amiga address to 0.20 (before set to 0.2).
Moreover, as you wrote to me, I set in the router the ip of my amiga.
I can tell why I change my ip to 0.20. When I tried to configure in the router the previous amiga ip, I had an ip error (0.2 not valid). Nevertheless, the router accepted this ip (strange).
I used the DHCP from 0.5 to 0.240 more or less.

Now I will test again and hope that no error will occur.
