I thought they were going to release it first and then solicit bug reports?

@Hans

Its kinda tempting, but as I've just burned through $2.5k in a single week, I'll pass. I played around with the Amiga Auckland SAM a few years back, and it was a fun if limiting machine compared to the X5000. Interesting to see how they sell, I think Classic hardware gets snapped up pretty quick.

@walkero

I did have a PCIe network card in my X5000 that worked, although it behaved very strangely and eventually stopped working altogether.

@joerg

Apologies joerg, I will replace with the OS4 Depot version.

Yes, I had seen your message, that was my clue that USB might be the problem. But I don't think I saw a resolution? Was it removing Candi? I don't use it.

But what's really unusual is that this didn't happen right after I installed update 3. It happened weeks later.

I'll give it a try.

I installed Update 3 on my X5000 about 2 weeks ago. I didn't have alot of time to rigorously test it, but it seem fine.

Yesterday morning I booted as normal, did some work, and powered down. I powered back up in the afternoon and it would not boot, getting stuck on the splash screen.

I would have this problem from time to time and would just do a reboot and it would normally be fine, but that didn't work and it would consistently lock on the splash screen with the drive access light lit.

I was able to boot into my backup partition which is still on Update 1.

This morning I had the same problem. On a hunch I tried disconnecting my USB devices on boot,and eventually found that it didn't like my WASD keyboard. If its unplugged at boot, Update 3 boots fine.

It's very strange that it just started yesterday, and on every boot. I haven't changed or installed anything since yesterday, although I think yesterday was the first day since I installed Update 3 that I plugged a USB HDD (SFS formatted) into my X5000.

My suspicion is that the new USB driver isn't quite bullet-proof, although why it would suddenly become problematic is strange.

Hmm, maybe a little. I seem to recall I was previously getting around 40-50 MB/s, now fast.com reports 80 MB/s. Still a fraction of what a PC on my network can achieve. It's a pity I don't run Linux anymore, I can't do a like-for-like comparison on the same hardware.

@walkero

Thanks, very helpful.

@walkero

Thanks for the update George. Is it possible to set the keybindings for copy, cut and paste to use the Amiga keys? I tried pressing RAmiga C and the keybind just comes ups as C.

Kevin, my first exposure to ffmpeg was through ffmpeg-GUI. Later I learned to use the command options, and now I use it every day for my job (sadly not on an Amiga). Thanks to you and Mick for introducing me to an invaluable piece of software.

With regards to your missing USB, check UBoot prefs -> Hardware tab. The motherboard USB ports can be deactivated there. (I bought my A1XE second hand, and the previous owner had, for some reason, disabled the rear ports).

The motherboard USB is only 1.1 (I think,might even be 1.0), so I do recommend getting a PCI USB card. They could possibly be tricky to find these days.

I always had issues with USB file trasnfer until I replaced the motherboard fan.

The latest versions of UBoot is 1.1.4. I got it from someone, can't recall who. Maybe Steve Solie? It adds booting from SATA, which is a godsend these days, and the only "bug" that I know of is a graphical glitch (the text is a little too big for the menus).

@trixie

I wish we had something similar to sndfile-info but for video, like a port of ffprobe.

@PetrolQuote:

This looks like a really good solution, although I can't figure out how to use puticon()

ChatGPT suggests this should work (I don't know Python):


But I just get an error "AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PutIcon'"

**Edit.

Nevermind,I got this to work:

@Valiant

Wow, and today is my 52nd birthday! Didn't know we had the same star sign.

Hi all,

This page:
https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaOS_ ... Parsing#Tool_Type_Parsing

Gives a good example of reading tool types in Arexx, does anyone know of a method to write them? I tried to write my own but have only managed to succeed in corrupting the info file.

I'm aware thers is a library rexxtricks that provides this function, but wherever possible I 'm hoping to avoid external libraries.

Thanks!

@SteffJay

When you say "install anything" do you when you run the Installer, or try to copy something to the hard drive?

If its the former, it could be Installer or one of its dependents is looking for ADH0. There's also, I believe, different Installers, between Hyperion and AEON and possibly other third party replacements

Run Snoopdos and look to see what's trying to access ADH0.

Do you recall ever having a volume with that name?

@SteffJayQuote:

I get this from time to time as well, but a reboot solves it.

Hmm, 2 things I would check :

Make sure uboot is configured to boot from the device it's loading the configuration from
Make sure the USB has SFS added to the kick layout.
