@danwood

It all comes back to the original instruction: Start with a CLEAN installation of Update2 and install Update 3 over that.

We guarantee that THAT will work.

I can't see any reason why the system would default to looking in Libs/. Perhaps you also have an old User-startup that tells it to look in Libs/MUI/ ? The current User-startup says:

if exists "Sys:MUI"
assign MUI: "Sys:MUI"
if exists MUI:Libs
assign add LIBS: MUI:Libs
endif
if exists MUI:Locale
assign add LOCALE: MUI:Locale
endif
C:version >nil: exec.library 39
if not warn
if exists MUI:Docs
if exists HELP:dummy ; do not remove
endif ; this entry!
assign add HELP: MUI:Docs
endif
endif
endif

... which doesn't mention Libs/MUI at all.

i see you conviniently ignored the fact all MUI issues are to do with an incomplete/incorrect install of MUI, as stated on this very thread, just to suit your own interpretation.

these are issues that previous (obviously not very dependable) subversion of the os had dealed with somehow, so do you call it an improvement, when something even stops to work?

None of my USB sticks show an icon on the Workbench screen.

I get the requester but no icon.

My rear USB ports are disabled from before the upgrade and I use the front USB ports on my case.

I'll check to see if my front USB ports have been disabled by the install.

Hmm, is it me, or is the gfx signal of a MicroA1 much more crisp since update 3? I noticed a few minutes before, that Im able to read even very small fonts (OWB showing amigaworld.net site for example) now... very strange, but nice :) I noticed signal issues before, the signal was slightly off VESA standard signal range and gave a slightly smeared display. This was due to a pixel clock calculation problem, it was off about 50 Hz all the time. This was most worse on a TFT (quite wavy picture), but my 22" CRT wasnt able to make a sharp view from the signal, too. Is this glitch fixed by the update?

There is still a slight ghost artefact visible, but I think this is due to not-so-high-quality components used for the onboard Radeon.

I must admit, my system is much more stable now, Im writing this using OWB (which is running quite fine now, no lags on closing it for example, and besides this, its faster with several tabs open, showing quite huge sites etc.) while SimpleMail, DVPlayerSE and even IBrowse are running. Uptime around 3 hours now, full load

Very good for a rather flaky 800MHz machine!

@redfox:

In the beginning, I had a problem with USB, too. I got this strange "xxCI Problem" error, but only once. I stressed my machine with OWB, opening several tabs showing huge sites (hence using all the physical memory) and this error happened. BUT for now, it never happened again. Seems that there was something messing with memory, maybe the USB stack, but maybe some other software. I will test some USB2.0 card next days, maybe this error occurs again, and then in a reproducable way.

I suppose a clean install is the safest way, but it's also bloody annoying having to start over every time there's an update, and for one of this size (a few megabytes and just a few files replaced), a lha archive and not an ISO, I really didn't think a fresh install was a requirement. Imagine if you had to reinstall Windows every time you installed Windows updates.

According to a few guys on #Amigaworld IRC channel, AmigaOS will check Libs: before MUI: by default as it's higher in assigns list, that's what prompted us to look there.

Installed update3 for now on my peg2: just unpack, run install script, waiting while all copies, press finish, soft reboot, and all works. That include all mui apps as well of course.

Through, as far as i can see, soft-booting of OS itself start to be a bit longer on few seconds (but maybe its just me). Didnt test USB2.0 speeds (will compare it with morphos later), but found as positive note that in PFTP mouse-wheel start to works now on my ps2 mouse (before are not).

Also tested few opengl APPs, they works, but no radical changes like better speed or kind (but that is expected of course).

So, for now:

- positive:

1. update easy and fast, all works as i expect in that terms on my peg2

2. mouse-wheel in pftp works now

3. updated mui (so mui-owb soon, and mui-mplayer soon or later)

- negative:

1. no new-shell. its make me madness and drive into crazyness, because it was developer for last 5 years for now i think. So, pretty logical to think, that if it all take so long, how much need to wait for having something else ? 10 years ?

2. a bit longer soft-boot.

Related to USB2.0, i do not know for now (as i not test it), but, as far as i read on exec.pl and ppa.pl, ppls have problems with it on peg2, and everything still slow for them, but, as i can read on the support forum, looks like there can be some problems with cross-dos itself, anyway, before saying anything i will test it normally, because as we all know, most of amiga users cant test normally anything :)

Sadly that i cant found any "change_log" of os components, just usual user-related list of changes. I mostly (and not only i) in interest about every change. Just like "impoved mui: check change_log in mui driver", "improved warp3d: chheck warp3d_update3.txt for more details" and so on. I.e. to give more information for potential users and developers.

For example:

Quote:

Updated PATA and SATA drivers;


What exactly updated ?

Quote:

Fixed Amiga shared object issues;


What issues exactly ?

Quote:

Updated Intuition and GUI components;


Which components exactly ?

Quote:

Faster 2D graphics support;


For what machines ? I know DMA enabled was only for sam460, not for example peg2 or a1, right ? I.e. need more details about that string.

Quote:

Various kernel fixes for increased stability;


Where can i found what exactly was fixed (and so, i will know which issues which i report was fixed, which is not, and what i need to test to be sure that it fixed or not).

Quote:

Improved notifications support.


How ? Small bug-fixes or something more interesting ?

In other words, change-log are very small and very user-newbe-related. Need something for developers and not-newbe users as well. I.e. one change-log as it now (just for brief) and one heavy changle-log. Even maybe just some bugzilla parts converted to readable format .. dunno, but just something more detailed are need it for sure.

For example i see there is new version of notepad, more, multiview. What new with them ?

USB-Copytest in comparisation:

File: KNOPPIX_V6.7.iso 731MB
USB-Stick: Kingston Data-Traveller 4GB

PC: Intel Core2Duo E4500 @2,2Ghz
Trasfer from USB-Stick -> HDD (NTFS) 1:15 Min (9,76 MB/sec)

Amiga: AMC PPC440ep @667Mhz
Transfer from USB-Stick -> HDD (JXFS) 1:49 Min (6,7 MB/sec)
Before Update3: More than 15 Minutes!!

Thats a very good result if you face the big performance difference between these machines!

But i´m wondering that such a brand USB-Stick isn´t faster at least on the PC (shouldn´t 40MB/sec netto be possible)=?

I´m very happy to choose the right OS

@fingus

Your usb stick formatted as fat (so working over cross-dos) or formatted as sfs/jxfs ?

It was formatted with WindowsXP and yes it is FAT32.

The important step was to set the screen to 800 x 600. This allowed Workbench to fully boot. I then saved the mixer prefs to generate a compatible prefs file and put the screen back to its normal resolution.

Well, it was fine yesterday, but today it stops at an empty AmigaDOS screen with some words about it being OS4.1 Update 3 from Hyperion. No fiddling with the resolution helps, after all.

However, an 'execute startup-sequence' gets things going. Something is stopping that script from executing at startup.

I am toying with a fresh install, but I don't like the idea of putting all those third party libraries, scripts and keys back in place. I, particularly, don't want to spoil the MUI improvements with old stuff.

I will let you know if I get any further. It is not a disaster. I am posting this with UD3.

To maintain a clean install and make updates safe I decided on this solution:

- Create SYS:CustomSys/
- In my CustomSys/ I have Libs/, Devs/, C/, Classes/.
- Now, all 3rd-party libs, commands, drivers and datatypes I put in CustomSys instead of directly on SYS:.
- Now in user-startup (or startup-sequence, can't remember) I do:
assign LIBS: SYS:CustomSys/Libs ADD
assign DEVS: SYS:CustomSys/Devs ADD
assign C: SYS:CustomSys/C ADD
assign Classes: SYS:CustomSys/Classes ADD

and now I can let the OS installers do what they want and I don't have to pollute SYS: itself with 3rd-party stuff which makes it a whole lot easier to find "the bad guys" and to do a "clean" update (just put away CustomSys and update, then put it back again).

Amen!
One more reason to keep your SYS: religiously clear of ANY third parties enhencement!

Although I had Update 2 installed right after its release, updating it with #3 was a breeze and a joy to perfom. No problems encountered (yet).

Congratulations! You invented the MorphOS way of keeping your system clean. Guess why any MorphOS update works smoothly and usually free of such glitches described in this thread...

I have the same feeling here! Much more stable, except OWB (3.31) randomly locks up every now and then. I found that, when having followed links which do not open in a separate window, repeatedly clicking the most left hand arrow button in a rapid fashion in order to return to where I started from, the system MAY freeze. More often then not, btw.
