Userland services
by art yerkes 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

What are our current options for creating userland services in reactos? We don't seem to have an svchost, so should I make my service a standalone exe for now? Is anybody working on service support? -- Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions.

Sorry to be nudging about this but: Will the newly ported wrc.exe & widl.exe be a part of the binutils (Binary & Source) packages available on SourceForge.net ReactOS project? Free Life Boaz

Assertion in /objects/dc.c
by dolphin_＠gmx.net 08 Mar '05

08 Mar '05

Hello! I have just updates to the latest SVN version and now I have the problem, that I cannot install ReactOS anymore. At the first reboot after installation, I get the following Assertion (cut from debug output): (devinst.c:1008:SetupDiInstallClassW) Assertion 'NewDC->DMW.dmBitsPerPel == BitsPerFormat(SurfObj->iBitmapFormat)' fai led at objects/dc.c line 808 Entered debugger on embedded INT3 at 0x0008:0x80006243. When I ignore this Assertion (by continuing), I can do so serveral times, after that my PC reboots. The error occurs on both QEMU and real HW. I guess this error has something to do with the latest changes. Perhaps someone can verify/fix this (GvG ?). I discoverd one or two other problems too (that have nothing to do with the latest SVN build), but I have to recheck them to ensure they still exist. This is what I've done: I have clicked wildly with the right mouse button on the Desktop background to open the context menu and randomly used the context menu of the Explorer to move the Explorer windows arround in between. When I do this for a couple of seconds, ReactOS crashes. (I posted a BSOD yesterday in IRC, but I guess nobody noticed it, here is the link: http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/kxur3L28.html As I said, I will recheck this in the evening today. Perhaps someone else will have a look on this too. Best regards, Dolphin

new build system: informal performance test
by Royce Mitchell III 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

each test was run from a "mingw32-make clean" or "make clean" tree with KDBG=0 DBG=0 old build system build command: mingw32-make mingw32-make bootcd 21 minutes new build system: make bootcd 11 minutes new build system: make -j 5 bootcd 13 minutes I built the old build system with two separate commands because last time I tried, you could do a "mingw32-make bootcd" from a clean tree. So, besides the other benefits outlined when we started this project, the new build system is cutting build time in half. Now to just fix the remaining bug(s) ;)

Proposed change to usermode exception reporting
by art yerkes 07 Mar '05

07 Mar '05

I want to change the usermode exception reporter to make stack traces in this form: (KERNEL32:except/except.c:184) 6dc00000+cb991 C:\dl\libgtk-0.dll rather than this from: (KERNEL32:except/except.c:184) 6dccb991 C:\dl\libgtk-0.dll My form is less compact but gives more information (namely, the offset in the target module). It's a simple change but I wanted to see if anyone objected strongly. -- Here's a simple experiment.

0.2.6 branch
by Steven Edwards 06 Mar '05

06 Mar '05

Hi, Robert if you are out there I think we want to try to branch for 0.2.6 sometime in the middle of the coming week. Alex is going to merge his changes in to the trunk and then we should be mostly ready. If Robert is not free and no one else wants to do it then I will plan on branching on Wednesday. I expect we can let the 0.2.6 branch run for about a week so lets plan on shipping 0.2.6-final on 2005/03/16. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!

Are there any plans for apache + svn?
by Waldo Alvarez Cañizares 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Hi guys: I was reading about subversion an in fact installed one svn server because I think that I could benefict from using a versioning system even doing non collaborative programming. Now the part that is related with ReactOS is that svn can be used locally, lite svnserve and (apache + svn modules) concurrently. I beleive you are using only or mostly: svn://svn.reactos.com/ Are there any chances for us the firewalled to get an apache 2.x listening on port 80? I know you are using apache 1.3.x in www.reactos.com but the configuration should be very similar. I never mentioned anything like this when CVS because it was probably too wuch work for those administrating CVS but hey SVN is modern so it comes ready for it with little effort. So it won´t affect those using the subversion protocol directly. I always had intention to collaborate but never got the chance. I could never do proper checkouts from CVS using tunnels but this way will be direct so probably this could be my chance to get in and maybe get write acces after learning more about svn using it locally on my machine. Thanks in advance Regards Waldo Alvarez

RE: [ros-svn] [mf] 13830: add ibrowser to XML build
by Casper Hornstrup 05 Mar '05

There is no need to update this branch since I'll merge changes from trunk once in a while. Also, always be sure to use svn merge to merge changes from trunk to the branches so subversion knows where the changes comes from. If done, then we are less likely to get conflicts in a future merge.

ACPI loading when ACPI=0
by Jason Filby 05 Mar '05

05 Mar '05

Hi all I have a situation, under QEMU, when ACPI loading when ACPI=0 is specified in the config file. The problem is that the acpi.sys driver is crashing. When booting from the boot CD everything works properly (not sure if acpi.sys is loaded) and ReactOS installs. But booting from that installation sees the failed acpi.sys. Is there something about our installation process that ignores ACPI=0 in the config file? Thanks Jason

What you suggest here actually works (I've just tested it). However, what it does is it makes Ctrl to behave the way CapsLock should behave and turns CapsLock into AltGr (strange...). That's not how my keyboard acts on other OS'. I really think there should be a way to differentiate between CapsLock and Shift. I'm sure that there will also be other keyboards that need that in the future. thanks!
