Is there program to make uboot settings in SAM as in A1 ?

If it needs uboot varible to set up usb kbd, is it possible to reprogram with terminal and nullmodem cable ?

Not very sophisticated :)

@Mlehto

Any AmigaDos script experts around ?

@kas1e

About download-window broblem.

It was so, that when I had really alot of downloads in finished part, everything flooded out of download-window.

@ScottCabit

Amiupdate is very nice :) All system updates and registered apps.

@Rigo

Made today clean install.

After launch Amiupdate try to update itself, but fails because of update.librarary.

Allso codeset.library and libsdl failed.

I made them by hand, so no problem.

It was actually same with my A1G3-SE.

@RIBDEVIL

Ok.

How much you use it ?

I just replaced power supply. Old was altis, new is 400w Nexus. I checked, that nexus minimum power requirement is low and output quality is more or less clean. New weights over twice as old...

New graphics card and new compatible memory module. New fresh install and newly downloaded updates and software.

I feel, that in my peg processor card have to be relativelly straight. I planned to make little stand for it.

Intresting to see, what happens.

Old OS setup vas years old. Actually many missing parts I just copied from old system.


@kas1e

My setups are usually very little tweaked. In MUI side I just made it remember window size on exit permanently. Anf adjusted fonts bigger. I start to be old and dont see little texts any more...

Of course loads of additional software.

Peg2 G4 1 GHz, Radeon 9250/ 128bit 256mb and 1 gig mem. Old 2b3 Peg2 mobo cant handle two sticks.

@RIBDEVIL

Never ever crashed ?

@kas1e

I will make fresh install soon to my peg2.

I run it with ssd and dont trust it too much.

I have bunch of crashlogs but better get fresh start.

@Rigo

Thanks for clarification.

Yep, I reversed my variablecopies after test :)

@nbache


Backup logs are allways with same name, so they are overwritten every bakup.


I try to make script, wich rename old logs with date, but it seems to impossible to find instructions or scripting examples

Im tried numerous different ways, no luck.

Does anyone have any ideas ?

@ilbarbax

Try to clear download history. With long download history I got some problems.


@kas1e

Every now and then when I download, it push wb-screen frontmost and nothing else happens.

@broadblues

Ok, got it :)

I removed some FUD from my posts.

@broadblues

Ok, so apppath is obsolete.

And compatible applications are maybe relic.

Anyway when I copied appdir to apppath, tunenet plugin update materialised to updates and installed. It was from 7.2.2010 so there is something in supported applications anyway.

I try to get this clear to myself. It is nice and beautifull idea, that updates just happen unexpectedly but Im better safe than sorry.

@broadblues

Tested it more.

I deleted Sketchblock from appdir and appath.

When I run Sketchblock, it materialised back to appdir but not apppath.

@broadblues

Launch amiupdate.

RMB and from menu click update and pick compatible applications.

There opens list of them.

For test I copied everything (related) from appdir to apppath and suddenly I have over 700 amiupdate supported application...

It is easy to get all apps to automated update in amigaland :)

So, amiupdate scans supported applications from apppath. Not appdir

@broadblues

Ok, it wasnt amiupdate problem then :)

Actually Im installed it allready. I just dont understand why it wasnt in amiupdate supported list.

Actually, I copied Sketchblock from appdir to apppaths by hand, and now it materialised to list.

So, question remains,where on heck they have to be or is there some bugging somewhere ?-)

Have to check...

How it actually determines, which programs are installed?

AppDir: or AppPaths: or both.

Amiupdate website says, that Sketchblock is compatible. When I open AmiUpdate menu, Updates -> compatible applications. List is quite short.

At least Sketchblock is not there.

Sketchblock writes to Appdir but not to AppPaths.

I copied Sketchblock file from Appdir to AppPaths and no difference.

So, how AmiUpdate determines location on compatible apps ?

Sorry about typos, I really need to get new kbd...

@nbache

Thanks :)

Actually I still managed to make typo to my single script with four lines. Amazing...

Now it works fine. Real fine, it is fast and I get logs and everything.

I try to make automated backup to my Amiga, using Backup and Docket from os4depot.

Both programs are marvelous. Backup is ultra-fast and Docket is easy to use and simple.

I managed to make script for Backup, Workbench, Work and data.

And managed to launch script timed from Docket.


So far fine.


Goal is actually make it so, that start 1st backup, 2nd when 1st finished, 3rd when 2nd finished and run pegoff when 3rd is finished.

I didnt made success to make this with amigados scripting. At least directly there is no easy way to make it. When I start script, it actually
start backupping all three volumes and shut down. Not surprised though.

I try to use google, but didnt find anything usable what I understand.

It is possible launch them separatelly from docket and give enought time to end backups and then run Amiga off.

Is is just muh more elegant to make it in one script ... :)

Can anyone help me?


/edited typos and stupid copypasting...

@Chris

Ok :)
