AROS One x86 Work In Progress

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Nice. I'd like to see how the installer works.

Normally as Installers happen on OS3, I create the script on OS3 with "InstallerGen" and then the Script will be run on Aros with "InstallerLG".

InstallerLG is compatible with Amiga Installer scripts, once I create a prototype script, with an Editor I add the target folders in the AROS One paths, easier to do than to explain

Only problem that might happen is some system icon in use or protected from deletion, we will see !

I picked up the whole GS850 directory from Icaos sys:system.

Besides copying "GS850", did you also do the necessary Assignments in the User-startup or in the Env-Archive\SYS\Packages ?

The link of your PDF document to parse was not working, can you attach a link that works?

[AMIGASYSTEM]

For those who don't like icons on Wanderer, installed on AROS One uCommander, simple and functional program to run applications with one click.

To fit it better I had to cover the header of the program because the font was higher than the bar, an update from Serk would be appreciated, maybe in addition to fixing the title bar he would also add the ability to be able to add a background maybe transparent.

I also set the absolute path to the editor (AddNewMenu) in way that it can work even if the "uCommander" folder is moved to another location.

Yes, it needs gs850: assigned to the gs850 directory.

As mentioned, unfortunately I cannot post the link to the formula sheet as the site software rejects it. However, it's not just this PDF - I'm getting issues with other PDFs. Please see the latest error below. This is after setting the stack to 40960000 and processing the file through pdftopd and Ghostscript! To get this PDF Google 'next k9-85 mcw -surveillance-video' and it should be the first link. I'm back at work tomorrow after the summer break, so I'll soon be seeing if this is a more widespread issue with PDFs.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Edit: Just tried one of the Physics exam papers - same problem ArosPDF crashes part way through. I could view it after processing through pdftops and Ghostscript, though. Neverthless, there's clearly some serious issues with the system relating to PDFs which were not present back in the 2016 build.

It is very strange that you can't post the link, you could try a link shortener like tinyurl or use an "Imperlink" like I did for tinyurl.

Possibly you can also take a photograph of the link and post a screenshot.

I tuoi file PDF mi servono per fare i confronti e cercare di capire se esiste un rimedio, visto che nel 2016 funzionavano, inoltre serve per eventuale segnalazione a deadwood.

Note that I haven't read the whole discussion, but the error you are pasting indicates that AROS detected stack override.

Do you launch ArosPDF and then open a pdf file OR do you double-click on a pdf file and open via deficon association?

With the PDFs processed through pdftops & Ghostscript, opening from the ArosPDF appication worked  So I presume the stack setting is being picked up from the def_ icon rather than the application icon? Very useful to know, thank you!

Unfortunately it still does not help with viewing the orginal PDF; please see below the error log from the exam paper I mentioned above, which was definitely viewable with the 2016 system.

Nigel.

Screen shot, great idea! Please see below for the 'next k9-85 mcw -surveillance-video' link.

It is not strange it is the stupid imunify front-end software at the hosting side.

We have used a URL shortener two times now.

Possibly you can also take a photograph of the link and post a screenshot.

Or imunify can go take a dump somewhere else....

I have got something better then stupid photographs and shorteners.

The result in the result text-box should display the url that can not directly be pasted into a message here on this board.

I use a browser plugin for en/de-coding base64 but it can be done as described as well.

@magorium
Thank you for the valuable information, yes the photo is not optimal, there are unclear fonts, the best solution would have been a copy-paste to a text file and then attach the text file here


@ntromans
If the PDF document is what you see in the screenshot I have found the culprit that creates the Guru, if this is not the document, try replacing the "freetype2.library" library from AROS One (updated) with the one attached here, the stack set for defaul from the def_ icons 400.000

Yes, that's hte one. I'll try replacing the freetype2 library and see how I get on.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Edit: That was a ice bit of detective work, with that version of freetype2.library PDFs are working perfectly! Thank you 

P.S. One small observation today, possibly (or not) of interest to the developers: on my Samsung n130 (IntelGMA graphics) with an external monitor attached you have to boot with acpi enabled; if you try to boot with noacpi (as I had set witht the 2016 install to help with powering down quickly using the Samsung's awkward power button) it hangs part way through initialising the system (i.e. before Wanderer is launched). If I get a couple of minutes tomorrow I'll make a note of exactly where it stalls.

Ok for now we use this version until deadwood releases the fixed version.

This problem if not dependent on "AROS One" you need to report it to deadwood, if you can do some testing with deadwood's Reference Distros.

Converted to the new White Icons format also folders related to music file types, conversion of folders of other file types will follow.

[AMIGASYSTEM]

Finished the Office section icons as well, even though some people may not like me or ignore the great work, we proceed without pause to finish the "White" Icons package as soon as possible

Another interesting Application installed on AROS One x86, it is BeeBase V1.0 Multiplatform and Multilanguage for m68k-AmigaOS; PPC-AmigaOs; PPC-MorphOS; i386-AROS; AROS x86_64-v11, the program works very well on AROS One x86, also created DualPNG icons in the style of AROS One,  (i have yet to test it on AROS One 68k).
