AROS ABIv0 20201110 Development

[paolone]

I just downloaded D7 and quickly tested on Icaros virtual machine. I once had ASL requesters crashing while the "Boing GL" demo was running in the background (with native VMware driver set to 1366x768 using screenmode prefs). Except from that, which I couldn't reproduce anymore, I haven't experienced any major issue.


I am only amazed by the advancements of the operating system - which I couldn't appreciate with actual software running along - and thank you so much for your backport hard work.

Built D7 works well, no problems encountered on VMs, and real PCs, other than the predictive reports for "Dell," I am now integrating D7 on AROS One and checking overall compatibility with third-party software., no problems encountered other than the predictive reports for "Dell," I am now integrating D7 on AROS One and checking overall compatibility with third-party software.

Question, is Built D7 also available for AROS 68k?

deadwood, quickly tested D7 integrated into AROS One x86. and it seems to run splendidly, tried running multiple heavy applications without having problems, tests continue ...

Question ? what is the Installer included with the various Builds for, tried several times and it never worked.

On AROS One x86 to install my Applications I use "InstallerLG" which is also compatible with Amiga scripts.

[deadwood]

I was thinking on making InstallerLG part of AROS core. Seems to be used in many case. I know Mazze tried porting it at some point, but then reverted - I don't know why.

We still have 3 years of updated to catch up

Yes, these are ABIv11 builds - they use the latest codebase. If you want to see changes, here is commit log:

I know Mazze tried porting it at some point, but then reverted - I don't know why.

Maybe tried early versions, now it works very well, indispensable for those who create installers for their software.

On AROS One I use it for installing the various types of icons and for any updates.

Thanks for the link

From that link I am constantly updating AROS One 68k, but at the moment I do not consider it ripe for distribution, I will do it when AROS 68k no longer needs OS3 libraries and when it is more compatible with old and new OS3 software.

Multiview v1.8 and the one developed by miker, it works better and can save any images in ILBM.

Tests with D4:

Acer AspireOne:
 - Boots, but there's a delay in seeing the USB stick (the boot media screen appears briefly). This didn't happen in 2016-12-28; but happens with 2017-04-02 and later. I tried two completely different sticks.
 - My previous reported failures on this machine were due to attempts to fall back to booting from incompatible builds on the SSD (as discussed regarding the EeePC 700).

EeePC 700:
 - Still doesn't see the USB stick. A USB mouse plugged in at boot media screen works for moving the pointer around that screen. Replugging the stick at the boot media screen (either directly or through a USB 1.1 hub) doesn't work.
 - "noacpi noioapic" tried.
 - Two stick types tried.

PCI-E nVidia graphics:
 - Native and 3D graphics work fine.

Toshiba NB550D:
 - Boots (VESA, no driver for native graphics).
 - ACPI reboot is broken: Ctrl-Alt-Del clears the screen and hangs; Wanderer's reboot option and shell command "reboot cold" powers off the machine!
 - The following warning appears during boot: "ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Optional FADT field Pm2ControlBlock has zero address or length..."
 - Reboot works properly in 2017-04-02, but I don't know if ACPI or legacy reboot was used at that time. Broken on 2019-04-13. 2018 not tried.

Thanks. I added reports for reboot problem to this bug: https://github.com/deadw00d/AROS/issues/87
