NetSurf 3.4 released!

[chris]

The last operation listed in the shell is:
"(3.503184)  frontends/amiga/gui.c:5354   ami_gui_splash_open:  Attempting to open splash window"
Then the system freezes.

Do you see the splash window?

If not:
Are you running at least AmigaOS 3.5?
Do you have a PNG DataType installed and active?
Do you have any weird 3rd party patches or replacement components?
How much RAM do you have free when you start NetSurf?

If you do see the splash, then I'd have expected a little bit more output.

[Dandy]

Do you see the splash window?

If with "splash screen" you mean the window saying "Initialising NetSurf - OS4 version"
then yes.

If not:
Are you running at least AmigaOS 3.5?

Although "yes" above: I`m running OS 3,9 with BBs I & II/WarpOS 16.1.

Do you have a PNG DataType installed and active?

Yes.

Do you have any weird 3rd party patches or replacement components?

Nothing of this kind in the Statup-sequence.
But I have things like "NetClockCron" in WBStartup.

How much RAM do you have free when you start NetSurf?

Currently I have 1.876.672 Bytes CHIP and 79.745.448 Bytes FAST available (IBrowse and YAM running).

If you do see the splash, then I'd have expected a little bit more output.

As I already pointed out, there are a lot of text lines rushing through the shell window. I just wrote down the content of the last line on a sheet of paper to be able to post it here after the reboot.

[Dandy]

Any ideas, anyone?

[Dandy]

...
Is it just Netsurf -V >DH1:netsurf_log.txt ?? or do I remember wrong?
...

This way just an empty file "netsurf_log.txt" is generated in statram SD0:
(solved the statram issue meanwhile)

[chris]

As I already pointed out, there are a lot of text lines rushing through the shell window. I just wrote down the content of the last line on a sheet of paper to be able to post it here after the reboot.

That line is in the function here:
http://git.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/tree/frontends/amiga/gui.c#n5551

What you can do is add some more LOG() lines in that function, and in the function I've linked to to try and determine where it is crashing.

The next line in the log should be "User:" on line 5599.  ami_gui_commandline might output something too (line 5593)

Including ami_gui_splash_open(), that only leaves four function calls where it can be crashing, and none of them do anything exciting.  If you're getting the "initialising" and version number text on the splash screen, then that can pretty much be eliminated as well.


edit sorry, I thought I was talking to DNADL!

Any ideas, anyone?

I think that you should reinstall Boing Bags 1 & 2. You should propably skip romupdates of BB2.

There is issues with you OS install wich should solved before.

You don't have loadmodule command in you startup-sequence?

[Dandy]

I`ll try that.

There is issues with you OS install wich should solved before.

 
What issues could that be?
I`ve had no problems with my System since 15 years or so...
(Last time startup-sequence was edited was in Aug 2005...)

You don't have loadmodule command in you startup-sequence?

As far as I can see the only "loadmodule"-entry in my startup-sequence is by Poseidon for early USB  mouse and keyboard support:

I You should propably skip romupdates of BB2.
...

What does that do with my system?

I backupped an old startup-sequence from OS 3.9-BB1, which included this line:
"SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET"

But I seem to remember that it caused an issue with the UW-SCSI on my CSPPC, which I use exclusively...

[Dandy]

On the HD, the directory for SnoopDOS logs is also empty after reboot - so no SnoopDOS log.

Finally I managed to get a SnoopDos logfile:

It means it has crashed at the same point the NetSurf log was pointing to.

Does the text "Initialising" (at the top) and the version number (in the box, bottom-right) appear on the splash screen?

[Dandy]

It means it has crashed at the same point the NetSurf log was pointing to.

Do you mean the last of the lines scrolling fast through the shell?

Does the text "Initialising" (at the top) and the version number (in the box, bottom-right) appear on the splash screen?

The text "Initializing..." appears at the top, but the field for the version number (bottom-right) remains empty.

EDIT:
The "I" at the beginning of "Initializing..." looks abit strange, as it isn`t fully visible.

[utri007]

Might be obvious / stubid question, but did you run fixfonts with installer?

[Dandy]

Not sure if I understand what you mean...

[utri007]

Netsurf installer asks "do you want to run fixfonts"

[Dandy]

Netsurf installer asks "do you want to run fixfonts"

Ah - O.K.
Luckily I choose the option "Logfile = yes" when I installed Netsurf.
A quick look at this logfile revealed:

">...Installer will run FixFonts after NetSurf is installed.  Unless you have
>a *very* good reason you should not skip this step.
Yes-/No-question: Result was "Run FixFonts"...."

So yes, I ran fixfonts.

See my reply in posting #85. Does that help?
Do you have an idea what could be going wrong?
Please advise!
