"Insert new disk" on A600GS wont mount ISOs

[broadblues]

This should be working, I just tried some tests and it seems not to be any more. could be a regression with the latest amiberry merge, debug out put shows the correct DBUS commands have been sent to add the ISO, but it doesn't add, nor will it add from the GUI. Am a away for a short while so  will look into this next week.

I received my A600GS yesterday. Trying to install OS3.2 and the mounted ISO does not show up even if CD ROM Drive is ticked.

AmiBerry sprouted a new option so that mapping CD drives was off bydefault, so this will hopefully be fixed in next update

When I continue and install via adf swapping the F12 menu freezes when I mount random .adf after it progressed above 50% and the setup can't continue. I reproduced the bug successfuly 5+ times

Wouldn't mind some more feedback on this aspect, how many ADF changes did you make before it locked up for you? It has been working for me, but I haven't insytalled a whole OS from ADFs.

Note you can have 4 ADF based drives so should be able to insert 4 floppies at a time, to reduce changes, though ofcourse it shouldn't lock up anyway.

Thanks for the detailed follow up.

One test you could do for me if you have time is to open the Insert disk window, and cancel instead of choosing the new disk, does it eventually lock up then too?

I can't reproduce the behaviour here at the moment, but we did have  bug like this along while back related to a leak of CMA memory. The code related to that was fixed so it's odd the issue should suddenly reoccur. Or it could be similar symptoms for a different reason.....

PS the ISO mounting issue will be fixed in the next update. AmiBerry sprouted a new automout CDFS option while I was looking the other way :-) Before hand this effectively defaulted to on, now needs enabling explictly.  Without it the OS has to do it via a bootstrap floppy or similar.

For this test on this thread is fine.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the feedback, I'll do more tests based on that on my production image.

One other test if you have the time is to see if toggling the F12 requester by itself can reproduce the issue? Might take longer.

The original issue was with PAUSE UNPAUSE repeatedly in which case F12 would cause it too, but take longer, there is an extra UNPAUSE PAUSE step between the F12 window and the insert disk window opening to allow the amiberry screen to refresh.

I will of course be trying that too....

Can you confirm which version of AmiBerry you have installed at present?

The information should be displayed in the System tab.

Thanks again for the feedback.

What image version does your machine report? (Bottom left of of screen). I can't share you my image as it is the master dev image with all the src code on it :-) Though I also could not  reproduce this on my A1200NG image. (version V14)  I wrote a looping script to change floppies every10s and got no lockups after 150 or more loops. This script interacts directly with amiberry so doesn't actually open the pause window, but I don't think that should affect it as I also toggled that a goof few times as well.

This one is a bit of a mystery at present. 

Ironically found an unrelated bug whilst testing this, (closing the choosedisk window via the joypad start button would it to crash next you opened from the pause menu) so that be fixed in next update. This was not this bug though as that caused segfault in the A600GS main menu not amiberry, which happily keeps running by itself in that case.

Amiberry-Lite 5.8.7 / PatchLevel 65 (2025-04-17)

I was using a slghty older version and newer rebuild  that src base, but even after forcing that exact version I get no issue, weird

Don´t think it´s hardware related, I can reproduce it on my A600GS

Which aspect the can't mount ISO or the amiberry freeze after repeated pauses/ insert disk requesters?

@E5150 I've sent you an email with some test tools attached.
