Re: [ros-dev] [QubesOS] Debug first boot

by Victor Perevertkin

Hi Frédéric, Debug logs are being written to a serial port if you select the "ReactOS (Debug)" option in the bootloader. It will help to understand what's going on in the OS. My guess that's some race condition while enumerating devices. As far as I can see, Xen shares some code with QEMU for device emulation in HVM mode. Thus this wiki page (https://reactos.org/wiki/QEMU) may help to tune some settings, because ReactOS doesn't work with all kinds of modes QEMU offers (namely, q35 chipset doesn't work, https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-13346) Checking latest development build may also help, but we haven't made much changes to that part of OS recently. If you will manage to run ReactOS inside Xen, maybe it's worth creating a dedicated wiki page for that along with other virtualization software. Anyway, thanks for your interest in our project :) Victor

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [reactos] 02/02: [NTOS:MM] Get rid of unnecessary MmZeroingPageThreadActive.

by Alex Ionescu

I know I probably don't have much weight anymore but, I re-iterate that one of the goals of the project should be to make things as similar as possible for debugging/troubleshooting and learning as Server 2003... which does have this variable. I don't think it's the end of the world to keep it around. Stuff like this also tends to break kdexts.dll.

Status Meeting (March 2020)

by Colin Finck

Hi all! Let me invite you to the bi-monthly status meeting, taking place *TODAY*, 19:00 UTC, in the Mattermost private channel "Meeting". I know that this announcement comes way too late, but hope that people can manage to join, even if it's just to get some distraction from all the bad news these days. The agenda currently looks as follows, with the main speakers in parentheses: * Achievements and Future Outlook (everyone) What have you been working on and what are your plans? This is also the right time to talk about ReactOS 0.4.13 and RosBE 2.2 again. * GSoC 2020 Status (org admins and mentors) Just a short update on the timeline, promising projects and candidates * Drop one theme from "default" package (Victor) Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in many aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu), Victor's suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes be installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that? And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :) * Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our infrastructure (Victor) Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in the end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount of work done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is still far from being usable) Victor thinks it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for maybe a month or something. Looking forward to see all of you this evening! Colin

Topics for next Meeting

by Victor Perevertkin

Hi all! I would like to propose some topic to discuss on the next meeting (will it be on March, 26?) * Drop one theme from "default" package. Last release we added two new themes, but they both look unfinished in many aspects. As we have an active maintainer for one of them (Mizu), my suggestion is to either drop the Lunar, or "merge" it with Lautus (I find them quite similar - correct me if I'm wrong) I think it's worth asking cernodile and foxlet about their thoughts. I have a strong opinion that 4 themes is too much for "default" package By the way, we have many times discussed an option to make custom themes be installed from Rapps. What do we need to do for that? And finally, it would be nice to write down some formal criteria for accepting themes. It will make PR reviewers' life easier :) * Hire a developer for dev-web interface and/or a devops for our infrastructure. Making that a GSoC project required too much effort for a mentor; so in the end the project was not too efficient in terms of time spent/amount of work done ratio (as a GSoC project it is great, but the interface is still far from being usable) I think it is reasonable to hire some experienced developer for maybe a month or something (is we have enough funds, ofc). That will probably require a more detailed task from us. Suggestions are welcome here :) We don't have to wait for a meeting, may start discussing that here :) Cheers, Victor

32-bit hosts virtualbox EOL

by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo

"Please also use version 5.2 if you still need support for 32-bit hosts, as this has been discontinued in 6.0. Version 5.2 will remain supported until July 2020." FYI That means, ROS will still be usable as guest, but not as host

Reinstating the ReactOS Meetings

by Colin Finck

Hi all! We had our annual General Assembly of ReactOS Deutschland e.V. today. Many things were discussed which are better discussed with the entire ReactOS Team, which is why all of us agreed on reinstating the recurring ReactOS Meetings we had until February 2019. Let's try out a bi-monthly schedule, with the first meeting happening on Thursday, January 30, 2020 19:00 UTC Mattermost private channel "Meeting" If you're currently not part of this channel, but think you should be, please contact me. I'm already announcing this, so we can collect topics for the meeting. Current points on the agenda: * Compiling an up-to-date list of tasks to work on, for newcomers, GSoC candidates, and developers to hire. Can already be started now by taking https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019_Ideas, copying it to "Google Summer of Code 2020", cleaning it up and adding new stuff. Maybe we also need to manage that with JIRA in the future. * RosBE 2.2, and what's blocking it, if it hasn't happened by then * ReactOS 0.4.13, and what's blocking it, if it hasn't happened by then Just reply if you have anything to add. Cheers, Colin

wined3d, Mesa for Windows

by Javier Agustìn Fernàndez Arroyo

Hello guys, Please have a look at this website! https://fdossena.com/?p=articles.php?s=1 Maybe ReactOS can use any of these pieces of FOSS what do you think?
