A600GS software issues after updating to v46.2.1578

[elias137]

Hello everyone!

I’ve been having problems updating my A600GS firmware from version 46.2.1422 to 46.2.1578. The update starts normally and fetches "system.lhapps", but it eventually fails with the following error:
"error fetching file programs.lhapps Expected 80698363 bytes got 36 bytes". I tried restarting the update process a few times, but it failed every time.

However, I was finally able to update my A600GS to the latest firmware by using a VPN connection. It seems the issue was that it couldn't download the updates due to network connection blocks. Maybe not.

Unfortunately, after the update, most of the programs in Amibench (v46.1) inside
Work:Software/ fail to start. For example:

Running AmigaAMP returns the error: "Can't open asyncio.library"

AiWeb fails with the error: "Can't open gadgets/button.gadget"

Opening PPaint gives a blank window titled "System Request" with just an "OK" button.

Could someone please help me resolve this? Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with this system.

Thank you!

This can sometimes happen due to an error in the cached data associated with the curl session accessing the server. I've yet to track down exactly what goes awry as the code seems perfectly valid! The solution is to restart the main menu, that resets everything and the correct file downloads then occur. That may be what happened with your VPN rather than the VPN itself solving anything.

Unfortunately, after the update, most of the programs in Amibench (v46.1) inside
Work:Software/ fail to start. For example:

Running AmigaAMP returns the error: "Can't open asyncio.library"

I assume that software in work:software is stuff you have installed yourself, as we don't provide that directory.
asyncio.library is not provided as it's proprietary so you must have added that your self? Did you create an assign in user startup? The update shouldn't normally ovewrite that but that would be where I would check first.

AiWeb fails with the error: "Can't open gadgets/button.gadget"

Is that a typo for AWeb or another browser variant? Eiter way gadgest/button.gadget is third party (part of reaction / class act) so again I would chack for anny assigns that you created when installing.

Opening PPaint gives a blank window titled "System Request" with just an "OK" button.

Assuming this is the version we provide I would try reinstalling programs.lhapps via the main A600GS menu advance update button.
