Atari file system support for Linux ?

[frank71]

Now the (K)Ubuntu deb-package. After installing with

Code: Select all

#>sudo apt install drimg.deb

you may read the manual page.

Code: Select all

#>man drimg

Hi wongck,
this one?

libgcc_s_dw2-1.zip

[edit]
I checked with another Windows machine just copying dlls, unfortunately it seems to be not that easy. I will try to find the root cause tomorrow.
[/edit]

I guess it is the correct DLL as the error dialog box is no longer appearing.

And you are also correct... it not as easy as copying DLL. My guess is you need to make an installer for it.

Application installation are so easy on the Atari.... just love it.
We were just talking about it on another thread.

[ThorstenOtto]

And you are also correct... it not as easy as copying DLL.

Usually it is, only problem sometimes is to find out which DLLs an executable needs. Different compilers for MinGW use different names, depending on the threading model and exception handling used. For that reason i once wrote a ldd tool that should do the job, even when run in Wow64 environments. You find it in the tools directory of the Aranym sources.

[frank71]

Usually it is, only problem sometimes is to find out which DLLs an executable needs.

Hi Torsten, in this case of different DLLs for different compilers and different code versions we have the terrible situation, that we have a bundle of equally named DLLs with differnt function names and different behavior inside. I've checked the posted DLLs with drimg on 2 different WIN7 installations. On one it's working, on the other it won't. I used the dependency walker to check the exact DLLs which will be loaded - all non-system DLL are the same, but the behavior is still different.
I think I will try som combination on some systems and let you know the result.

Qt has a deployment tool for windows in its installation directory. And then of course you must bundle it with correct (read: for given VC++ version) VC++ redistributable package. That usually solves all problems.

[frank71]

Okay, finally I managed to compile drimg statically for Windows - what a nerve-wracking thing , because you need to recompile QT libraries, and it's not quiet easy to find a working configuration - unfortunately you will notice the fault after hours of compiling. (Even with a minimalistic configuration) - cleaning the source takes hours too (under Windows)... No matter, it's done now.
The binaries are too big, to post them here, so I've uploaded them to github:
https://github.com/frankheisig71/drimg/ ... ter/Binary
You may checkout and test them now. Read the READ.ME!

It ran but not detecting my usb adapter with Atari drive.
It does not detect any drive.
I already have C,D,E,F on Windoze... does that matter?

[frank71]

Usually the tool checks drives up to Z. What is shown on Windows when you plug on your drive adapter - is it recognized as mass storage? Did you uncheck "don't show devices > 4GB" and click again "Show devices"? Try a simple USB pen drive - it should be shown at least. (Refreshing the drives list is not triggered automatically, you need click "Show devices" each time something changed.

[wongck]

Did you uncheck "don't show devices > 4GB" and click again "Show devices"?

My bad.. I unchecked "don't show devices > 4GB" but did not click again "Show devices".
Yes, it is showing all the drives except C: now.

[frank71]

Okay, fine now you can click on the HD drive, click "file transfer", select a partition and browse through the directories. Would be great, if you can do some testings.

[wongck]

Yes, I would like to image my Falcon HDD to be used by Aranym.
Once I find my IDE-USB adapter....

[frank71]

I thought you had already tested the USB drive adapter with DrImg - still not detected? DrImg denies to open C: - but this should not be the problem.
Btw. for just imaging a HDD there are lots of free tools...

[wongck]

I used Ppera Drimg with USB adapter years ago, but not on your new version.

Something screwy happened to my computer. I cannot see any inserted USB storage on my Windoze.
But I can see it in Aranym... there was something I did to make Aranym able to see my USB storage.
However, there is also no way of accessing it from Mint/TOS in Aranym.

I need to undo whatever sh*t happened with libusbit did to my Windoze.

[wongck]

So removing that libusbit stuff was simple.

Even when I am running as admin, it say it needs root to access the device.

[frank71]

Hmm, that happens if the tool is not able to get write access to the drive. I've added lots of error messages, but there are still some unspecific messages left. Is there a number in brackets at the end of the message? This would be the Windows error code you may google for. If not I need to build a version with more precise messages...

[wongck]

There's no number on the error dialog window.
It looks like this:

BTW, my D & E drives are 2 TB each, so that amount it is showing is wrong. F is my 256 SSD swap.

[frank71]

Hi wongck, it seems, Windows makes a difference between SD-cards (where you can gain exclusive write access) and removable (and static) drives (were yon cannot gain exclusive write access) - I've changed this to shared read and write access.

[wongck]

Hi Frank71,
No, the same error comes even with my thumb drive or with my SD card reader.

[frank71]

Okay, but now there should be a error codes displayed - otherwise it's not the last release... (there is a new release on Github)

[wongck]

right, will dl it when i am back from work. Ta.

[leech]

Sounds like Wongck should switch to Linux

So I imaged my drive into hdf, hatari says "Can not use the hard disk file falcon.hdf since it's size is not a multiple of 512." Was going to attempt to fix the byteswap on the drive so I could read it normally under Linux, at least I think that's what's preventing me from just reading it, or at least that the partitions are there.

By the way, for cleaning up maybe some of the Qt stuff.

Not only Wongck should switch to Linux.
Joking aside, handling logical and physical drives under Windows is quiet terrible. I spent 2 weeks with this stuff, but I'm afraid the current implementation still isn't optimal. (testing needed )

By the way, for cleaning up maybe some of the Qt stuff.

Yes, i can see that too, but to be honest, I have no idea how to avoid that, because the slots mentioned as "No such slot" in fact are there and used.

I want something different at home, so I use Atari & Windows.
Had enough of Unix at work... we even have couple of Solaris let alone Linux.
Had enough of Unix derivative on my phone, my AP, my TV.... So technically I _am_ also using Linux at home. Just some exotic flavours.

back to topic, I still can't find my IDE-SATA adapter for my Falcon HDD

[frank71]

I want something different at home, so I use Atari & Windows.

Sure - in my case it's the opposite case (exept oft the Atari)

back to topic, I still can't find my IDE-SATA adapter for my Falcon HDD

Hmmm, I checked serveral Adapters - but of cours not with a Atari HD inside, because I have no... But maybe I can test it by transferring a SD Image to a HD. I will try as soon I got som time left for it

I do use something different home. I use Debian on my desktop/laptop, Fedora on my tablet, and occasionally boot into Windows 10. At work we use CentOS and Ubuntu for the most part. But there is definitely a far cry from 'I use *nix at work for servers' and 'I use it as a Desktop OS at home'.

Are you using a SATA drive in the Falcon, or are you talking about needing a device that is USB -> 44pin IDE? I had one of mine die recently... so I bought a new one that I'm not sure I like, but it seemed to work for imaging the drive. I should test that out in Windows.
