Re: How does AmiUpdate work internally?
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


If the script for auto-installing is correctly written and makes use of the proper way to update *all* files on the file system (do not remember the name of the dedicated shell command atm) then you should be able to browse all your installs in the rollback utility and find the one that updated both libs, rollback this one and AmiUpdate will offer you the ability to download again the package.

As Joerg said libc.a should not be in the same update as newlib because they are targeted to different audiences: users VS developers. There is different situations where mixing won't work, you named one, but what about when I install the update as a simple user (so no SDK installed, hence no place to install the libc.a) but later on I learn how to code and install the SDK?
I advise making two updates one for newlib and one for libc.a the second requiring a given version of newlib (can be described in AmiUpdate database)
BTW AmiUpdate also checks using filesystem dates as a last resort.

@elfpipe

Don't know if this may make any difference but maybe your Kickstart/ram-handler.kmod may not have the 'read' attributes set?
Another idea: may it be possible that you have several kickstart and you somehow messed up with them? Ending up with mixing incompatible versions? On this last one please add asked by Colin provide version numbers of the listed kmod.

Sadly smartctrl doesn't seem to communicate with my p5020sata.device. :(


I did port updated smartmontools but it cannot work with internal sata from X5000 and A1222 because it was decided to abstract them using vsata.device in an incompatible way. I seem to remember some information may be retrieved using a custom tool but I cannot remember it's name right now and am going to leave for work,maybe something like idetool or something like that.

Hi Kas1e,

I don't think that this is possible right now. And I don't think that Filer instances knows the order they were started.

Hi Kas1e,

I'm afraid that there is currently no possibility to select source/destination state of a lister via tooltip or command line argument.
I guess you are trying to mimic a Dopus 4 style filemanager with a dual lister setup.
IMHO this would be very restrictive compared to the current ability to have multiple listers where anyone can be the destination of all the others at anytime.

Re: Ftp server on OS4.1

As LiveForIt told nothing you can do unless you are a programmer and have access to the source code. I just want to correct what he told about the function goal: this is not a function to look for a string inside another string but a function to find the first file or directory matching a given name pattern see https://wiki.amigaos.net/amiga/autodocs/dos.doc.txt.

Otherwise there are other ftp servers for AmigaOS 4 still supported for example a-ftp-server or ftpd (by others and me) which are free or ZitaFTPserver (by Hans) which is commercial, see available options on os4depot.net http://www.os4depot.net/index.php?fun ... se&cat=network/server/ftp

Re: ExecSG memory allocation question.
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


I probably miss something but for what reason would you want to FreeMem() memory allocated with AllocVec()?
Internally AllocMem() probably defaults to AllocVec() but it may also perform different things prior this.
So my advise would be always match allocation methods with appropriate freeing one, and you would always be on the safe side.

@SinanSam460

We had a nice private party with Huno two weeks ago and he was working on this code. What I can say is that he worked hard during the three days to polish rendering and all was done natively on his X5000 he was not cross compiling at all... this may be relevant to your problem I don't know??

Re: Why call to or any "empty" functions can cause different results of the code in which you insert it?
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


@kas1e

To me your problem is stack related: the code is trashing the stack somewhere and depending on the dependency to the stack of the functions you are calling then it may or may not crash. On the other end as soon as you are calling printf then you are realigning it and everything got back on track.
The worst is that printf itself is often the culprit of such stack trashing: for example you are passing too much or too few parameters compared to the format string or you are passing wrong type (eg. a 64 bit parameter while only consuming 32 bits).

Edit: fix typo in seconds white of my answer

Re: new video: Horror from the past : "big" games of amiga on amigaos4

@kas1e

Thank you I had difficulties with the installers (I have the first CD batch with read errors, which for some reason was not apparent on my 1200 PPC back in time but seems to be really a showstopper now under AmigaOS 4...). Then I managed to completely mess my system with rtgmaster and all. I thought PPC version will be easier to run but now I have a grimreaper which only bring me a black screen if ignored.
I will try the 68k version again, not sure if I installed both 1.2 patches. I will check, thank you.

Ps: I think the 32bit screen problem is exactly the same problem you mention for the PPC version: it could not find the correct screen resolution.

Speaking about Nightlong lately rediscovered my classic game CDs (trying to install your Foundation Gold patch) and I decided to try to install it on my X1000 but to date I failed to have it running. I think I remember there was a problem when the wb was on a 32-bit screen, so you think this is something you could try to patch?

PS: BTW your Foundation patch works good. Though, I would have enlarged the prefs window a little bit more as some buttons are still on the edge (at least on my system which has the default theme, so probably a slightly larger window title than yours)

First thank you for taking the time to sort all these things on this website and keep it online and safe.

Now using latest Chrome on my smartphone, the side bars (both left and right) seem to much wide compared to the main part. If you cannot reproduce I can send you a screenshot.
I tried in the default mobile view and after checking the "computer version" checkbox.

@LiveForIt

I am an X1000 beta-tester since the very beginning and I must say that I do not know why you are saying that kickstart is not loaded from SYS:Kickstart. I have more than 10 boot able partitions (ranging from the first contact edition to 4.1 final update 2) and I can assure you that each of them loads kickstart from their respective SYS:

(ps: as a beta-tester I do not have that BDH0 partition you are speaking about)

In first I thought like you that Sinisrus was looking for an USB hardware Device, but in fact he's looking for an AmigaOS software device to drive an USB scanner. There used to be for example iousbscanner.device but this does not seem to work with AmigaOS 4 usb stack.
