How to enter into GUI mode

Submitted by redany on Thu, 04/28/2005 - 13:03.

Hi Ewout,
I was running jnode in Qemu, after I selected the 'JNode GUI' mode and system initialized normally but finally inactive(deadlock).
I've tried to run with the burnt bootable cd, but fast 'Really Panic' in any feasible modes
I have run successfully in Qemu as 'default' and 'all'(but not GUI) modes.

NVidia RIVA TNT2 Pro/Integrated RAMDAC/32M has problem in the supped devices? or
other hints.

appreciate you helps.

Gui

Submitted by admin on Thu, 04/28/2005 - 16:37.

Hi,

The GUI is (unfortunately) still in an experimental stage. What I can advise you is to start the default or all configuration and then start the gui using the "startawt" command.

I think Qemu emulates a graphics card that we do not (yet) support. So it is best to run it on real hardware.

"Real panic: int_die_halt!" occured when I booted it from CDROM in any feasible mode.

I just made a JNode GUI all plugins without MP, could you try it out? It helps under VMware, so maybe you might have luck with it.

Hi hagar,
It would be luck if it can play with the normal hardware, because I am not with the VMware now.
But I'm not so luck as you known I didn't even run the default mode on my computer.

I'll get a try if I can.

thanks

Hi

Use the No MP configurations or setup your MP version to 1.1 (in your BIOS).

MP detection bug fixed in CVS HEAD

Submitted by admin on Sat, 04/30/2005 - 08:25.

This bug is fixed in the CVS HEAD branch. The fix will be part of release 0.2.1.

unlucky

Submitted by redany on Fri, 04/29/2005 - 07:18.

Of my mainboard GA-8IDX(Intel 845 AGPset), the Award BIOS setting doen't supply the setting item -MPS Version Control For OS for me. Although this item surely is listed on 'Advanced BIOS Features' setting option in the manual(which I've just retrieved from my dusty box).
It seems that the Gigabyte has removed this setting item from the standard Award BIOS setup.
Stay tune and waiting for the fixed for MP 1.4 detecting, or
there is still other hints.

thanks

Use without MP configuration

Use a configuration labeled "without MP"

Lucky!

Submitted by redany on Fri, 04/29/2005 - 08:01.

It's my careless in the catching on the term 'default', now I've tell.

I must to say I'm very enjoy it, so fast! [15703ms on my computer]
Only one red line listed in startup:
DeviceListener (in manager) took 193ms in device started: org.jnode.net.ipv4.config.impl.NetDeviceMonitor

and some red line flashed out when Halted it.
How to scroll up or dump it too see what is the error?

Lucky from now, jnode!

thanks all.

Use to SHIFT+PageUp and SHIFT+PageDown to scroll in the console, and ALT-F7 to access debug console. Keep in mind that these consoles are memory-limited and can't retain all boot messages.

Hi galatnm,
I means to see the failure information when I halt it, when done, the SHIFT+PageUp and SHIFT+PageDown function of the shell is exit too.
Maybe the dump mechanism can meet it.

thanks
