Re: [MiNT] freemint 1.16.0b stability
Hello!
i wanted to wait some while after the official release, if someone will
report some problems and since nobody does, here are some of my experiences:
Btw. would be nice if you use the bugtracker.
- i'm quite frustrated of the very low stability of whole system. the main
reason why i begin to use mint was the stability against magic. and now...
is mint even more unstable! for example... i can't code without mp3s:) so i
use aniplayer all the day and night.. and now... after 20-30 mins, aniplayer
crashes.. without any exception message, memory violation etc...
What do you mean with 'crash' if there is no exception message? If it
terminate abnormally you'll see an exception message (beside you set
DEBUG_LEVEL to 0).
- i've got a LOT of memory violation messages. ok, you can say, that's your
fault man, but when i see memory violation by programs like shutdown by
draco, here isn't something right:)
Do you run it on a ct60? On ct60 memory protection is disabled by default
and you can't get memory violations. Or what system do you have?
- keys in mint: yes, that's great, ctrl+alt+del works like warm start,
but... it seems all the key inputs are blocked or what... i can't break
fsck, i can't use interact programs during boot(for example: error occured,
press any key - NO WAY)...
I'll investigate this.
- again that EDITOBJC.SLB... it seems there's a serious problem with ext2
To say it again, EDITOBJC.SLB is a MagiC specific slb. You can't use it
under FreeMiNT (or you do it on your own risk but don't complain about
it).
And ext2 work casesensitive. So if an application loookup 'EDITOBJC.SLB'
it must be in upper case on ext2 (together with the complete path). It's
not possible to work around this as this is an explicit feature of ext2
(you can for example have several different files with names EDITOBJC.SLB,
editobjc.slb, EditObjc.slb, EditObjc.SLB and so on; all this in one
directory on ext2).
- when i switch to "xaaes client" (sorry i forgot the right name), menubar
is dead... i can't see "About" and all the others(envs, system log) during the
time jinnee is active
- in my democoding i use simple alert for showing the average framerate...
bang, undex xaaes i see illegal instruction..
Please, can you make a small example and put into the bugtracker? This
would be very helpful.
and of course, none of these problems appeared on 1.15.12 kernel...
That's why 1.15.12 is a 'stable' release and 1.16.0 is a 'beta'
release :-)
Regards,
Frank
