Database: I just love HeidiSQL to edit my remote tables, https://www.heidisql.com/

Ooooh - yesss!

+1 from me.

I used Toad (for Oracle) as my daily tool for decades at work and enjoyed using the free Toad for MySQL when I retired, to maintain a database on my Linux server remotely from my Windows machine for the time that was possible.

Now it's a MariaDB, and how great would it be to be able to maintain it from AmigaOS

And the key to understanding this is: Don't see the character "." as a decimal point, but instead as an arbitrary delimiter used in version.revision strings. Pronounce them as e.g. "version dot revision".

(BTW, in some places, like Denmark, the decimal delimiter is a comma, not a full stop.)

@turbo41

I am also very pleased to have Ignition available on OS4. Whenever I need a spreadsheet, it's the one I use.

But I must admit, I very rarely need a spreadsheet these days. My wife is the calculating one here, and she uses Windoze (did try to convince her, but no such luck).

So that is why I haven't given lots of feedback in later years.

And like others said, it's working so well, so there's not much to report back to you.

could you please MP to me and explain how to do that? I've downloaded the updated certificate now?

Others might find this explanation useful as well, so why not do it here?

It's quite simple: The file cacert.pem which you have downloaded from curl.se should just be renamed to curl-ca-bundle.crt and copied into the same directory where Odyssey is installed.

And yes, it works fine with Odyssey as well, just as long as it's renamed.

- also, with this one assign you can't run "java" bin from anywhere, you need to run it like "java:java -version", because pure "java" will not find it, as JAVA: assing isnt' added as system one.

isn't that just a matter of running it once with the path, and then it will be in APPDIR:, which by default is in the system path?

Re: scout: new os4 version

@jabirulo

Heh - I didn't have any identify.library installed at all

.

Now I installed it, and yes, that fixes the issue.

Still, strange that - without the library - it still showed the name correctly at first, but not after returning from the Functions window and clicking on the next line.

Nice work - good to see old Scout again

.

I found a little thing in the Libraries window.

Example for reproducing:

1. Open Libraries window.
2. Click on the first line in the library list.
3. Click on the Functions button.
4. Click Exit.
5. Click on the next line in the list.
6. Now it doesn't show the name of the library, but "*** ldFunction() NOT IMPLEMENTED ***".

It's not just the first line, any line and its following one will do.

So the command for Mirror should be like this?

Mirror FROM System: TO SysBack: ALL UPDATE VERBOSE

Without having tested this exact line - yes, it looks right to me.

The VERBOSE switch is of course a matter of taste, I normally use QUIET.

And the UPDATE switch is of course not necessary to create the initial copy, where the destination is empty.

Thanks for the tip. One problem I see with Mirror is that it replaces the Kicklayout file with the one in DH0 and deletes the BootDevice file in DH1.

I'll add a reminder for that in my "cheat sheet" for creating/updating my Emergency Boot Partition.

True, these are (practically) unavoidable as far as I can see, good idea to keep a list of things to do after cloning.

Quote:

I see some things in Env-Archive also use DHO, but I suppose those are harmless, right?

Not necessarily, that depends on what they are. But e.g. your prefs files are also stored in ENVARC: (in the Sys subdir), and we already dealt with them (or some of them) above.

In general, if you have anything in ENVARC: containing the device name or volume name of your first boot partition, I'd change them to SYS: - that makes it unnecessary to include them on your cheat list.

It is not recommended to install the entire ES2 package after updating to UP3. It will overwrite important system files in the “other” versions.

If you ask me, it is not recommended to install the entire ES package at all. I'd always only install the bits you really need/want. For me, that's normally just the RadeonHD/RX stuff (depending on the card I have in that machine) plus MultiViewer/MultiEdit and a few other utilities which I have tested and find useful and well-behaved. Certainly not any commands or preferences, as they overwrite the system versions with less well-tested versions which have in several cases been found to make trouble.

Unfortunately, to achieve this, you have to un-check, one by one, a lot of checkboxes in the installer, so only the section(s)/bit(s) you want are checked. It would have been easier if there were a function to "deselect all" in the installer, but unfortunately not.

@emeck

When creating the copy from your newly installed Update 3 partition to the Emergency backup, I'd recommend using the new Mirror command from Update 3 instead of a simple Copy. It will among other niceties preserve the links correctly, for instance in your SObjs dir.

Another thing you might want to check is whether you have any explicit references to your first partition (volume name or device name) in any saved prefs (e.g. WBPattern used to have this problem) or in your AmiUpdate prefs setup or places like WBStartup or AmiDock. You probably want those to refer to SYS: instead, so they correctly point to your new partition when you have booted that, and vice versa.

There may be other similar cases I forgot to mention, but you get the idea, I hope.

BTW, Mirror can also be useful if you have installed new stuff on your SYS:, tested and made sure you can still boot, and you then want your emergency copy freshened to have the same updates.

Niels

@NBache

Where do you type these lines?

Quote:
SPEED=set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=1800; set pmu -astate=a4
SPEED2=set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=2000; set pmu -astate=a4
STARTUP=SPEED2; menu

I don't. These lines are the listing of the already set env variables (listed with "printenv" in the CFE command line).

To set them, you must use e.g.:

setenv -p SPEED 'set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=1800; set pmu -astate=a4'

and similar for the other two. (The "-p" means save the variable permanently, if you omit the "-p", you will just set the variable temporarily, e.g. if you want to test it, then it reverts to the previously saved value when you restart.)

BTW, I use a Radeon HD card, so I can do everyting locally in the CFE prompt and don't need to go via the serial link.

Re: x1000 onboard network opensource driver in progress: new version

Posted on: 4/11 15:05 #16

Just can't stay away

@kas1e

Just wanted to report that I have nothing to report

I've been using your new pa6t_eth on my X1000 24/7 since I installed it, I believe on the 27th of March. I did reboot a few times during that period, but for other reasons, I have seen no problems that looked like they were caused by the Ethernet driver. Right now my uptime is 1 day and almost 17 hours.

I've been browsing, downloading all sizes of files, uploading stuff to my LAN drive and web server and in short done all my normal activities.

So good job, one more limitation blown away from the X1000.

Best regards,

Niels

I tried to set speed1 like you, extra1, extra2, extra3 with the three patches than I set STARTUP=extra1 ; extra2 ; extra3 ; speed1 ; menu
but in this way something very strange happen, only the first one and the menu are executed
so to have at least the sata, speed and menu executed i had to set STARTUP with explicit commands.

Did you enter the setenv command with the whole value string enclosed in quotes? Otherwise I'd imagine it would stop when it reached the first semicolon.

Hmm, but if you say that the menu command was also executed, maybe I'm guessing wrong.

I'm not using the other patches myself (yet), just the speed "hack".

@kas1e (and @all)

In other words there maybe worth to patch to have 5 and 6 be 1900 and 2000 or something, just to avoid typing it all manually, but for while being it all can be added right in STARTUP, like:

set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=2000; set pmu -astate=a4; menu

Just wanted to share what I did to be able to use this and still be able to switch back to 1800 MHz easily (sometimes when testing I want to make sure some result is the same under both frequencies).

I set up the SPEED variable like above, except with 1800 as speed and then a second one I call SPEED2 with the 2000 like above. Then I can just change the STARTUP var to refer either to SPEED or to SPEED2, which is much shorter to type in at the CFE prompt.

Like so:


SPEED=set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=1800; set pmu -astate=a4

SPEED2=set pmu -astate=a0; set astate 4 -speed=2000; set pmu -astate=a4

STARTUP=SPEED2; menu

BTW, the names of the CFE vars seem to be case-sensitive, so if you define the variable as speed, you might have both a speed and a SPEED var. If necessary, remove one of them with e.g. "unsetvar speed".

Niels

Re: Videovortex

Posted on: 3/23 22:40 #20

Just can't stay away

@Gregor

You could probably just run ffmpeg once from that path, or even just do a "version VideoVortex/Data/FFmpeg/Generic/ffmeg". Once the executable is referenced like that, the system creates the APPDIR: entry.

I guess that is what TearsOfMe will do from the next installer version.

(Note: I don't have the VideoVortex program installed myself, I'm only guessing based on the above facts and my knowledge of AmigaOS.)

Best regards,

Niels
