[Solved] Problems with ReAction on AmigaOS 3.2
« on: August 19, 2021, 11:59:11 AM »
Hello.

I just recently installed AmigaOS 3.2 on a A2000. It had previously AmigaOS 3.1.4 and that was downgraded (or upgraded?) from 3.9.
As far as I can tell all the ReAction stuff doesn't work anymore.
The most prominently I got aware of it when AmiDock didn't load anymore from WBStartup.
Running SnoopDos shows that when double clicking AmiDock all seems to end at loading 'window.class'. Nothing else is being logged. But AmiDock doesn't show.
Similarly, no other ReAction/ClassAct window is showing.

Are there any known issues with this?


Cheers,
Manfred

Thanks.
I'll checkout your video.

The class 'window.class' loads OK according to SnoopDos.
I've copied the 'Classes' disk again over the installation. So from what I can see it look all good.
So this is really weird.

Version 47.

I have the exact same problem now on a second system, an A1200.
WBStartup hangs on 'AsyncWB' and no ReAction apps actually work.

Both systems have Vampire cards. But I don't think this has anything to do with it.
Though on a third system (FS-UAE) the upgrade did work OK. This was also the same upgrade path: 3.9 -> 3.1.4 -> 3.2.

...
hmm that's actually a very important piece of information you left out on your first post and interested to hear from other Vampire owners on this issue as I know a few that have had 'issues' with AmigaOS in general and have reverted to the ApolloOS which is shipped with the Vampire

Well, I'm running 3.1.4 on Vampires just fine. No problems. So that didn't (or doesn't) seem to be the issue for me.

But I will give it a try to remove the Vampire board, or put in an ACA.

OK, I think I found the problem.

It seems that Executive somehow causes the trouble.
All is working OK when the Executive server is not started in my user-startup.

Still weird though. Maybe there is a workaround.

I am pretty sure the installation guide for 3.2 recommended the removal of all hacks ("patches") prior install.
That's a wise thing.
Now you just have to know that Executive is a hack.
