Refreshed ABIv0 AROS

[deadwood]

I always though that was the same. I did not know AROS supports a shut down key combo, but you are right.
On my DELL laptop I use CTRL+LWIN+MENU key
 
Anyway, warm-reset is not working with 2017 build on my DELL laptop, but works with 2016 build.

What if you use VESA for video and don't start network?

I tried this:

VESA or Native mode does not change anything regarding shut down, cold reboot.
Starting network during system boot does.
What happen is if Network is started the computer shut down with the key combo CTRL+A+A or in my case CTRL+Win+Menu.
If Network is not started the same key combo will do a cold reboot

Very wired?

I downloaded some big files from AROS archives and the OS froze after awhile, had to reboot and try to download again. It happened 2 times. Now I'm downloading 1 game at the time, Atheros wi-fi. Maybe it is some kind of disconnect, connect problem with wi-fi that freeze the OS?
I remember from a few years I had the same problem. I just wanted to mention it.

Thanks - if you have wired networking can you try if you get the freezes there as well?

NIC for wired connection is not supoorted by AROS on my DELL.
I could maybe try this with my ACER aspire one. I will try to find the netbook

I tried your Linux hosted build. Have not found any problems yet

The problem I had with MPlayer is gone. It is working now

Hi,

I added link to Contrib archive build to first post as well as extended changelog information with changes happening in Contrib.

[deadwood]

While integrating AROS system files I noticed two differences:


- tool "delete" and its icon in system/wanderer/tools are not present
- smartcan is not present in wbstartup

Hi Paolo,

SmartTrash is part of Contrib archive now. Delete tool has not been used since 2011 (Wanderer has "delete" built in) and is removed now.

I know of two bugs present in all AROS distributions available to me:

1. Described here.
You cannot install the iff/ilbm backdrop file on your desktop.
I have attached a pattern.zip file to reproduce the bug.

2. Multiple copy
When you copy two or more directories from one source to one destination.
You expect two directories with their contents to be copied, but this is not the case.
I'm not ready to describe the playback algorithm now, but there are big problems with the logic of copying files and directories.

[deadwood]

Thanks for the report.

I've just spent several hours testing the #3 image and haven't found any regressions so far:

Booting from CD and SSD OK
VESA and Native (GeForce ~6xxx) OK
USB fat32 read + write OK
SMB (RTL8169) read OK file browsing OK but large file write NG (status window freezes - same problem on reference)
HD Audio test sound OK

Power Off = freeze, Restart Computer = OK, Restart AROS = Freeze (same as reference)

The only issue I get on the test installation but not on the reference is errors when attempting to save network prefs "Please insert volume 'SYS' / 'T' in any drive". This didn't occur the first few times.

Thanks for testing and reporting back!
