YAm 2.8 beta, build from 20.12.12 on AROS. Open window problem.

To investigate the problem it would be helpful if you could run some tests with the debug version of YAM 2.8-dev. Please download it at the same position like the normal nightly builds. In addition, please start yam from the command-line and use the following command before starting yam:

setenv yamdebug stdout gui

then catch the debug output when trying to open the config window and upload it here for investigation.

Added debug. Hope it helps.

Thanks. However, the debug info doesn't contain all the info we need for identifying the problem. Can you please elaborate at which point you tried to open the config window? In addition please try to recreate the log with the following setenv call before starting yam:

setenv yamdebug stdout all @all

This will generate a huge debug log so be prepared that YAM will get quite slow. Please outline at which point you tried to open the config window and where the error window was presented to you.

BTW: please also create yourself an account here on the webpage so that we don't have to moderate each post and you get directly notified of changes of the tickets.

Hi.

The last debug you got from me I got using sashimi.

Using the command " setenv yamdebug stdout all @all " works and I got a lot of debug output from shell, but it is not saved to anywhere ?

Well, if you use "stdout" in the setenv call it will be put on the command-line. If you omit it it will be sent to the serial line, thus you can catch it via sashimi. However, you can also add "file:ram:debug.txt" and it will save the debug output to "ram:debug.txt". See http://yam.ch/wiki/FAQ/Debugging for more information on how to create proper debug output using the "yamdebug" environment variable.

For some strange reason debug.txt is created but file size is 0k so nothing is saved to it.

This is my command line before running YAM.debug

setenv yamdebug stdout all @all file:ram:debug.txt

Well, you have to remove "stdout" from the command-line if you want to save to a file. Then it should work.

Hope this one can help you detecting the problem.

Thanks for the log file. However, it is hard to identify the problem from that file. Can you please tell me at which line you tried to open the config window? All I can see is that you seem to have tried to open a write window and that failed also. However, no definite error message is written. Can you please also state which AROS version you are running?

I'm using latest AROS night build. I also the autour of AspireOS distribution. As said with YAM 2.7 I have no problem at all. The problem with 2.8 is that even if the program is running and seams normal, nothing happen if I try to write mail pushing the new button and if I try to push the config. button AROS freeze. It is little difficult to debug pressing config button since AROS freeze. I could always save the debug to sys: but don't know if it will catch the error ?

Hmm. unfortunatley I don't have a working AROS installation myself. Is there still a VirtualBox version of Icaros or something like that? That would allow me to debug things on my own. Apart from that we really rely on you supplying enough information to debug why YAM 2.8 doesn't seem to work with the latest versions of AROS.

I have little experience with virtualbox, but know that many run Icaros desktop with it.
If you have a Linux installation running it is quite easy to run AROS hosted.

Here is a direct link to the AROS, Linux hosted version

I am on OSX here, so I would prefer to have an OSX hosted version somehow (e.g. using virtualbox)

adding Matthias Rustler to this ticket as he is partly our AROS maintainer and has already done quite some changes. Matthias, can you please elaborate if YAM 2.8+ really doesn't work on AROS anymore?

Matthias? Are you listening?
