Amibench crash

[DavidT]

Some weeks ago i tried to install MUI.  This crashed my Amibench.
The option : restore to inbuilt defaults is not working.
As soon i press for example: Restore SystemV46 partition: it reboots directly.

So i’m not able to use Amibench for some weeks now.
I thought it was time to ask for help how to get this going.

below an youtube video what is happening https://youtu.be/_Ie3qmzKWwQ

Hi

Have you installed today’s update 46.1.825 ?

This has the option of restoring just the AmiBench drive

[DavidT]

i have installed the update.

i selected all the options below after the update.
That does not change anything for me.

Is it somewhere else located?

Why select everything, when you were only having an issue with Amibench. Selecting all will overwrite everything, including GS software.

[DavidT]

I want to start from scratch. So thought i select everything.
Probably i don't understand it correctly how it works.
For me selected all does not change anything visible to the eye.

If there is an option to start amibench from scratch that would be nice. Till now i did not find this option.

Please update to the latest update 46.1.827 in the normal way (be aware it will pause on the black screen and then do reboot due to some system maintenance in this update)

827 fixes a bug that I found as I was about to explain the below.
 then:

Either:

1. Got to the Back and Restore Section:

Choose  Restore Systemv46 Partition in the Restore To Inbuilt Defaults section.

Click on the blue "Restore To Inbuilt Defaults" button that then enables.

From the choices you are then offered choose "Replace"

Once this has completed, goto the AmiSphere panel and choose the Advance Update button

Here just choose system.lhapps

and then Install selected archives.

You should be good to go with a reset latest AmiBench with YAM et al

2: If The Restore part above didn't offer to reinstall SystemV46.tar you may have a early image without archives, in this case.

From the Main A600GS Gui start DOpus4

In DOpus4 enter LIBS: on one of the directory panels

Select LIBS:MUI drawer and then press DELETE.

Then goto the AmiSphere panel and choose the Advance Update button

Here just choose system.lhapps

and then Install selected archives.

You should be good to go with a reset latest AmiBench with YAM et al

[DavidT]

Thank you so very much for this.
Option 1 helped to get my Amibench back!

You really made my day!
Cheers!

Only minor thing now that Yam is gone.

[broadblues]

Did you do this bit ?

Once this has completed, goto the AmiSphere panel and choose the Advance Update button

Here just choose system.lhapps

and then Install selected archives.

You should be good to go with a reset latest AmiBench with YAM et al

That should have updated the reverted AmiBench to the latest release version.

Also check that YAM is still in Programs:Network

[DavidT]

Yes I did this.

When i’m at home i will try again

[DavidT]

tried, but does not show up.

In programs -> network I saw the Yam folder.
Tried to open it, and got attached error.

[broadblues]

TheBar should have been installed with the update, not sure why reinstalling system.lhapps is not doing that. Will need to double chack on my public image to see if i get same as you.

In the mean time a new update will be coming out soon, that should resolve this. PLease don't install the latest mui version it's not 100% compatible with Zune

[DavidT]

Not sure it this is helping.

I just noticed that the Yam app is on the main menu. 
When trying to open get an AROS screen. Cd: object not found.

[broadblues]

I've just spent a while debugging this and finally got to the bottom of it.

Although the main archive is being downloaded and unpacked the installation script inside it does  check against a checksum, to avoid unpacking any sub archives that haven't changed, this speeds up unpacking of  some of the more complex installs considerable but trips things up in this case when *want* resinstall archives that haven't been updated.

Now I worked it out I'll have it fixed for the next update.

[broadblues]

PS It worked when I tested the process I described as started on fresh install and had never updated, so no checksum was stored to trip things up.

[DavidT]

After the update Yam is there. I even configured it, so im able to send and receive mails!
Amifox is now working as it should. No error's anymore about datatype.
For me the basic things work nowcan send and receive email. Can browse the web. Create documents. 
Now the fun begins.  As you see need to get use to amifox and typing.
I would happily pay for an other webbrowser

Thanks much for the update.
