@orgin
Thanks for adding the Classifieds area!
I was looking at how to get the area to show up on my home page, but then I never found that control (using IB) and realized most of the time I'm not logged in anyway.
;)
But I wonder, why not have classifieds on the homepage?
Thanks again!

Re: the best way to remote use of real os4 machine ?

@Chris
Barrier?
The question is: How hard would it be to port AND who wants to do it? Is it even open source? (/me knows nothing about it) Is it peer to peer or do we need a client & server?
;D
Thanks,

I emailed broadblues' color improved AmiVNC to you. If anyone else wants to give it a spin, let me know here.
Thanks,

FYI, AmiVNC is open source.
I've been using AmiVNC for years... Yes, it's slow and highly dependent on net bandwidth and the efficiency of the VNC client.
It used to work flawlessly with the RealVNC client until RealVNC "improved" their client. The ChickenOfTheVNC client on the PPC Mac still works great with AmiVNC (if slower).
There's a slightly updated version of AmiVNC where the color issue was improved by Broadblues (Thanks!). I'd need to check with him to spread it around.
FWIW, there's also another (new, from scratch) VNC server in works that I'd expect will break the surface soon. So far it's faster than AmiNVC.
Stay tuned.
Thanks,

I don't know why you'd post remarks about a MattyOS bug on the comments section of the YT.rexx.
Either uninstall MattyOS and run AmigaOS *OR* get Matty to fix his hack job.
Good luck,

That's a fantastic script!
@Maijestro
Great video!
I wanted to pass along one little hack I had already put in my start_player script that lets me run streams in a single ongoing player (instead of starting a new one each time you click "PLAY"):
Where it used to just call AmigaAmp like this:
--- Run <>NIL: APPDIR:AmigaAmp3 "{url}" ---
I replaced it with a test of whether AA had an ARexx port open and send it an ARexx message to load the new stream instead, like this:
--- WaitForPort "AMIGAAMP" 0 IF WARN Run <>NIL: APPDIR:AmigaAmp3 "{url}" ELSE rx 'ADDRESS AmigaAmp "OPEN {url}"' ENDIF ---
Fodder for an update if you'd like to include it in your script.
Thanks guys!

ahh, yes, same here!
If I click on "Popular" or "Trending" then I get the requester:
----------- There was an error with the returned data. Please try again or check your network. -----------
If I search for the name of a station that I know was present, it no longer finds it.
Probably some server "improvement" somewhere....
Thanks,

Na Zdravi!
Welcome to our little corner of the net! I hope you really enjoy your experience with the new SAM460.
Yes, AmigaOS is quite different from other OS's, but it's also very straightforward. A file is a file; a program; a program; and you can actually understand all the pieces of the OS.
Being a small corner of the computing world with no big corporate parents, we also have to do so many things ourselves. Our own apps, tools and methods. That can be frustrating, especially if someone comes from a spoonfed world.
But most have us appreciate, enjoy (are addicted to) the feel and pleasure of using the Amiga. I hope you find it too.
Let us know what questions you've got and where us users can help.
Enjoy!

Re: What is the current situation with printing in OS4 on real hardware?
|

Not too shy to talk

Hey guys,
FWIW, we had an HP LaserJet 4 -- a tank -- that worked great (*) with the Amiga LPR driver for decades.
(*) = don't print too many pages at once. No bufferring in the LPR driver.
When it eventually died, I found that several HP printers would still print from the Amiga if I just changed the HP LJ4 output to the new printer's IP address.
Granted it also seems that HP - while they claim to support Postscript, LIES - if you send a straight postscipt file in color or other than "letter" size (8x11), it ignores all that.
But at least it gives you basic printing most of the time.
Yes, we need at least some part of CUPS..... Hopefully without Weasel Oil on it (that just gums up printers and kills Amigas).
Thanks & Good luck,
PJS

@davec555
The thread is coming up with good suggestions...
Any chance bad weather mighta zapped something? It could be your gfx card, for example. It happened to my XE.
Once you've confirmed the motherboard is getting power to it (LEDs as mentioned), then I'd suggest pulling all the cards and seeing if it makes any more booting motions.
If so, plug in one card at a time (start with the gfx card) and see how things change.
Obviously, changing the PSU is an option.
Please let us know how things go.
GOOD LUCK!

Bummer!
Have you tried replacing the battery too? It seems like most all of the NG systems are sensitive to the battery being up to snuff.
Otherwise, I'd suggest hooking up a serial cable and watching the output if you can. If you're lucky, that will tell you where it might be failing.
Let us know what you find!
Thanks,

@elfpipe
You're having problems with your Amiga drives?
It seems like viruses on the Amiga, let alone OS4, are an unlikely rarity these days (Thankfully).
But maybe you have a drive going bad?
If you're on one of the NG machines with a complete IDE/SATA driver, you could run smartctl on your drives to see what it tells you about its health:
smartctl -A [device]:[unit #]
example:
smartctl -A sii3114ide.device:0
Good luck & make a lot of backups! ;D

Congratualtions!!
I can just guess at how steep a mountain it is you're climbing. Thank you very much for your efforts.
It's like you're making it look easy!
