For those (like me) that after the upgrade and reboot, the mouse cursor disappear...(mouse was working but not visible) you have to take back the i8042.hidd driver from 2.5 and overwrite it.

I used the VM of 2.5 to be able to manage files inside the USB key of 2.6.

Thank you Farox, as mentioned on another forum I had put the old version of the driver "i8042.hidd" on AROS One because some users had pointed out to me that it was more compatible, now I restore the new version which is included in the new deadwood core.

Hi,

Just updated to v2.6, all working great, on a EeePC 1000H. I just had to setup the WIFI and Samba connections.

This response being typed in with OWB.

One minor point, how do I get taskbar to remain visible and nothing able to go under or over it?

Derek which taskbar are you referring to ? if you are referring to Amistart you can only hide it or make it appear !

Regarding Samba if you are referring to editing via Network Prefs, it shouldn't work, if you do let me know.

However I recommend you try SMB2 which works very well!

Sorry, I was not using the correct terminology.

I meant Amistart Taskbar and SMB2, I however sorted the problem, all works fine.

Yes deadwood there are other programmes with the same problem, they are those programmes that load a file from any path, I list a few that I remember:

ArosPDF
ZuneHexEditor
ZuneView

With ZuneView strange fonts appear if you return from Iconify, it doesn't always do this!

Following up on question from Templario:

Are there more programs then ArosPDF which have their window title "damaged"?

Hello Nigel.

I have not tried altering the UEFI options simply because I do not know what to alter that would be relevant. What settings did you change? Even if it doesn't work I can maybe still use it as a starting point.

Thanks,

Hi Kantraa,
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The settings which seem to make a difference are:

Boot mode - UEFI Hybrid (with CSM)
CD-Rom boot active (I installed from the live DVD)
USB kegacy support not enabled
SATA devive mode AHCI

Hope this is of some help,
Nigel.

@kantraa - Hi Amigasystem,

Thanks for replying. Unfortunately I can't try your solution as I can't even get to GRUB. The second I select the option to boot from the install medium in the boot menu I get to by pressing F12 after I turn on my laptop I get kicked straight back to my host OS.

Thanks,
kantraa

Hi Kantraa,
Not getting to grub is not an issue with AROS - no element of AROS will have started before the grub command line is executed. I had a similar problem with a HP Elitebook, and it took a lot of experimenting with BIOS options until I persuaded it to boot. Have ou tried altering the bios options?

Cheers,
Nigel.

Out of curiosity, can you please try Rufus version 3.20 to burn the VHD image? It's Windows only and you can find the downloads here

Hello.
I have tried this.
Same issue.

Thanks,

Hello Nigel.

Sorry for the very late response - I completely forgot about this thread.

None of these are in my UEFI.

Hi Kantra,
BIOS options vary so much between machines... What options do you have? Also, does the machine have an internal optical drive and if so have you tried booting from a live CD ot DVD? I've had machines which refuse to boot from a USB pendrive image but would respond to an optical disc.

Cheers,
Nigel.

Hello Nigel.
I do not have an internal optical drive but I have an external one and I have burned the ISO to a DVD and tried booting AROS from that but it did not work.

Hey man, i think AROS One is really neat and I would like to use it but no matter what I do neither the live USB or DVD boots on my system (Lenovo Yoga 330-11IGM). So far I have tried:

- Flashing the VHD on my SanDisk Cruzer Blade using DD
- Flashing the VHD on my SanDisk Cruzer Blade using Balena Etcher
- Flashing the VHD on a random unbranded USB I have using DD
- Flashing the VHD on a random unbranded USB I have using DD
- Flashing the ISO on my SanDisk Cruzer Blade using DD
- Burning the ISO on a DVD-RW using CDBurnerXP on Windows

and all of them resulted in failure, kicking me straight back to the bootloader of the OS I have currently installed (openSUSE.) I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Does AROS not support UEFI or something? Thanks!

I also have a seventh-generation laptop and it doesn't boot AROS, maybe it doesn't support UEFI

Hi Kantraa and welcome to the forum, your Lenovo Yoga 330-11IGM is probably not supported, HERE you can see the supported computers.

Please try adding 'noacpi' and/or 'noioapic' switches to grub command line to see if that makes a difference.

Example: Multiboot /Arch/pc/bootstrap.gz ATA=32bit noacpi

Have you already tried AROS One on a virtual machine such as WMware, VirualBox or QEmu?
