No no, that can't be a filesystem error. Those error messages are generated before any filesystem is mounted. Those are hardware detection errors. Actually, it sort of looks like a problem was generated during mouse detection. There is a known bug wherein moving the mouse during PS/2 mouse detection...

Well alright then :P Here's the new release candidate: http://visopsys.org/files/visopsys/visopsys-2011-02-11-iso.zip It has changes to the IDE drive detection code, which should fix the problem seen in VirtualBox. It works in VmWare also, and a couple of real systems I've tested, but it would be he...

That's right, yes, I think the top-level USB layer should be implementation-agnostic enough, meaning you can add other host controller types. In the current version, there's even a kernelUsbOhciDriver.c file that detects them, etc. So, implementing it would mean taking that file and expanding it by ...

Cheers for the info! I think I've fixed the IDE problem, so it works in VmWare and VirtualBox, but I have to test on a few systems to make sure it doesn't break them. Turns out I was previously booting VirtualBox from a floppy disk image, and didn't notice that it wasn't detecting the IDE disks :doh:

Don't have time to type it up right this minute, but I can do later. Have a look at the messages files stuff in Linux (.po and .pot files). All the strings get extracted into a text file, and you just add the translations. Then the locale variables can be set to tell the application which language f...

Is this using VirtualBox?

It was working for me the other day, but when I tried it this morning I think I'm seeing the same problem..

Argh.

Hey everyone, At long last, I have a release candidate for Visopsys 0.7. I'm planning to release it in the next couple of days, but if you guys could try it out, and let me know about any problems you find, that would me much appreciated. Here's a link to the ISO download: http://visopsys.org/files/...

Absolutely, cut and paste is something that's needed. Obviously it would need a generic 'object' framework so that different kinds of things could be used with it (e.g. text, images, dragging and dropping icons, etc). I don't think it will be in 0.7 final though :lol: I'm just trying to nail down on...

Hi lukves, I haven't tried to do anything like that, yet, but you're right that the animation of a pointer wouldn't be too difficult from the point of view of the OS. However, it looks like the ANI/RIFF file formats would take a bit of getting used to; the RIFF file format specification looks (at fi...
