Programming / Re: An XWorkplace CPU Temperature Widget for AMD CPUs
« Last post by Lars on March 30, 2025, 01:14:01 pm »
Bad news: I found the document for Family 15h AMD CPUs and not for Family 19h as I claimed (and I updated the test proggie accordingly).

According to what I found on the internet, the document for Family 19h (Zen Architecture, including Ryzen CPUs) is under NDA (thank you AMD). Therefore, I can only hope that it works as it did for Family 15h but I am not optimistic. They seem to change the mechanism to read CPU temperature pretty often.

I think all of this is a hopeless case. Doug, if your system properly supports reading the temperature via ACPI, then this is certainly the best way to go. Does the conventional CPU Temperature widget of the monitor widget classes work for you ? That is based on ACPI. I yes, an AMD CPU specific widget is completely unnecessary for you.

Hi Lars

Any chance of a standalone/non-widget version in the future?

Pete

Yes, sure. I just thought that everybody would be keen on an XCenter widget ...

Hi Doug,

I just realized that for Family 19h AMD CPUs (that is: Ryzen), need to access different registers than on my Family 10h AMD CPU.
Try the attached.

Web applications / Re: OS2World URL Redirect
« Last post by Martin Iturbide on March 29, 2025, 09:50:36 pm »
Hello Tom
Hello

Neil, today I talked to the webmaster and we have redirected the URLs.
Now if someones goes os2world.com  or www.os2world.com should get to the same site.

Can the same be done with EDM/2? I.e. edm2.com redirecting to www.edm2.com .

I will forward this request to Adrian (Netlabs). I don't have control over that server.

Also, just to let everybody know that I updated the EDM/2 wiki to the latest MediaWiki version in a local VM machine, and the updated database and files are now in the hands of Adrian. I hope he can get some time to put the EDM/2 files back in the server and connect the wiki to his LDAP.

Regards

Lars,

there is no log file for xwplug.log - in c:\var\log\xwplug.log
or in e:\var\log\

my unixroot is set to e:

I am running a Ryzen 5 5600x

I should add that cputemp runs with the following output:

AMD CPU: Family:0x19, Model:0x01, Local APIC:0x01
MMIO Configuration Base Address:0x00000000F0000000
Temperature core 0 (0x00000000):0.00 °C

So maybe the widget wouldn't show the temperature, based on the above output, even it it was installed in xCenter

Helvetica, Courier and Times New Roman were used here, except for Fixed: Courier I changed the other fonts to Bitstream Charter and now
Dooble seems to work fine, at least with os2world.com.

memory issues:
as I understand, libc uses shared memory.
there were attempts to make it use HighMem.
There were discussions, there were announcements.
there were attempts to patch exe files to use HighMem.

But current situation: you can start Firefox and OpenOffice only 1 time.
if you load this heavy apps then memory is occupied and you should reboot system to use firefox again.
Java VM (I don't remember, does it depend on libc), is consuming low memory too.

Question: what is the current state of libc ? it was modified?

P.S. It's not a claim. I make  technical request.

Programming / Re: [Classic REXX] Network Map

Great update of the script Remy!  8)

It now tell me that the vacuum cleaner has gone offline for the night, but it managed to pull out the cable of the laptop today and ensured it went offline as well.

I comment the 2 initial SET line into de macaddr.cmd and use those from config.sys
uncomment bof lines if you would like set these two vars without config.sys update
e.g.  remove /* and */ of both lines and set value to 1 or 0
/* 'SET WOL=1' */   
/* 'SET NET=1' */

Just type
SET WOL=1
SET NET=1
on the command line before you run the script and those will be added to each object it create, thus not require any of them in config.sys

or create a program object "Refresh" pointing to the script, without any parameter, but with
WOL=1
NET=1
in the Environment tab (See each created network object for examples).


How about merging/reuse code for the various calls that resemble each other, and control them with parameters?
Perhaps explore the use of parsing templates:
PARSE VALUE ... WITH pre (fixed_variable1) mid (fixed_variable2) post

The idea was initially to build a network map of the devices found on the home LAN with info about them.
What uses can we explore here?
Shares would be one thing, but ... are there something else that one want and can be created?!

Interesting project and seems to be enough like it is.
I found a good use :D
I have an audio streamer connected but not using it for a long time, it is no more usable through my control TAB and had to reboot the streamer
Now, I saw its status change and just refreshing it make the streamer wakeup...
