Updater not working

Can anyone tell me why the "Updater" is not working? When i run it, it just hangs. 😡

@SteffJay

Using latest v.258 AmiUpdate?

or tthe thread here;: https://www.amigans.net/modules/newbb/ ... id=155621#forumpost155621

@SteffJay

Updater(A-Eon) or AmiUpdate(AmigaOS)?

@jabirulo
Many thanks 😊

@khayoz
A-Eon

Good to see you got it working again!

Sorry... I get some cognitive dissonance here... lets make this factual...

AmiUpdate = AmigaOS (Right click in AmigaOS, Top left menu, Update Software)
Updater = A-EON (includes Enhancer software updates etc). Updater is on v53.73.

Since @jabirulo linked to AmiUpdate v2.58 and not Updater and that also seemed to help the OP, I feel the need to write this so that we are not confusing things.

:)

@Cageman

Yep, now I'm confused too if SteffJay is talking about AmigaOS update tool or AEON update one ¿:-/

If it's about AEON, he should install AEON classes too to make it work.

This is the Updater i am referring to ->

My best guess is that you did not install some needed components for (aeon)updater.

It's good that you were carefull when installing the enhancer software as some of it should never be installed but you we're too restricted when doing so and missed some needed compoent.

There is some thread here where safe components is listed but you could also try to install this https://wiki.amiga.org/index.php/Enhancer_Software_Core

iirc it's safe components and will get updater running.

I agree with smf. You may be missing something required by AEON's Updater software. All the required software is included in the Enhancer Software Core distribution.

You require Updater, AmiSphereServer, as well as a login ID and password that should work for both.

Updater also requires some gadgets found in the classes/gadgets drawer. These gadgets are required for the Updater GUI.

Also check Prefs/WBStartup to see what shows up there.

If RinghioServer is shown in the Startup modules list,
remove the checkmark and delete RinghioServer from the list.

RinghioServer is an old server that was included on the AmigaOS 4.1 FE CD.

Updater is only partially compatible with RinghioServer and will lockup while waiting for some response that RinghioServer cannot give.

If you have NotificationServer, that should be ok, because it is the Enhancer Software replacement for RinghioServer.

NotificationServer is not included in the Enhancer Core Software bundle, but is not actually required for Updater to work. It just provides some status messages.
