Ticket #425 (WorksForMe)Tue May 31 22:25:13 UTC 2016

Changing theme options in RiscOS 5 softload breaks Boot from cold

Reported by: Christopher Collins (2981) Severity: Minor
Part: RISC OS: Boot sequence Release:
Milestone: Status WorksForMe

Details by Christopher Collins (2981):

On a SA RiscPC using the Softload 5.12 from a 4.02 ROM and the HardDisk4 boot sequence, if you boot into RiscOS 5.12 and change theme settings, the resulting ThemeSetup file contains arguments that the ROS4 ROMs do not support, resulting in an Invalid Argument error (and early abort) during boot from cold as ThemeSetup is processed before the softload can occur.

Normal function is restored by removing the ThemeSetup file.

Changelog:

Sorry, that should be 5.22 instead of 5.12.

If you’re using the ROOL universal boot sequence, it should softload the WindowManager (because of the RMEnsure WindowManager 5.15 in your PreDesktop obey file) which does accept the switches to WimpVisualFlags.

After booting into 4.02, what WindowManager is running?
