Hyperion Entertainment Message Boards

@kas1e
Thank you very much for your advice. I was able to connect to the server as you indicated. The update went well. I have now version 53.11 of timersync.library.

I was hoping that with this update I could fix my issue, but it doesn't. Indeed, each time I return from my Linux environment (Fienix) to the Amiga environment, the time goes back two hours . When I start on the Amiga environment, the corrected time is saved.

Yes I've had that issue in the past, though only by 1 hour and only in the summer , it's caused by loonix and amigaos interpreting the hardware clock differently. Loonix treats it as UTC and applies TimeZone offset) and AmigaOS as the local time. I did once find a way arround that on the linux side but I don't use linux on any of my AmigaOS hardware anymore so unfortunatly have forgotten!

Ah you could try:

# timedatectl set-local-rtc 1

on the linux side

your distro may vary

user/pass which you had for Hyperion's site on the web.

Thanks for that reminder. I checked and I am able to get in to the various Hyperion sites with mine. But even when using these parameters with update.amigaos.net, Amiupdate does not show timesync.library.

When I try to get the version of my existing timesync.library, the version string is not accesible either by shell command or workbench. Using the mouse to get "information" shows that the file was last changed on June 28, 2017.

What am I doing wrong?

Checking the obvious here...is your copy of os4 registered at hyperion?
Iirc it checks that first before providing any updates, i might be wrong though

I just went in and looked, and --yes-- , my OS4.1 for X5000 is registered. Thanks for responding.

@Paul

If you are using AEON's version command 54.8 there is bug in it.
Fix soon to be released.

OK, that's it. I'll wait then.

The Original Hyperion Version command is usually backed up and can be used still .


SYS:Storage/Enhancer_Software_v2.0_Backup/C/Version SYS:Libs/timesync.library

timesync.library 53.11

I would suggest not using anything of AEons that overwrites system components. This fascination they have with "reinventing the wheel" is causing nothing but problems for users (and developers alike). The side effect is that those dealing with the bugs in AmigaOS are inundated with reports that are actually nothing to do with the OS, but instead this "virus" coming from AEon and it's "superior" software.

If any of you have problems, my suggestion would be to remove this contamination by the so called "enhancer" and go back to a stock install before giving innocent developers the runaround chasing bugs in something out of their control.

Applications are one thing, but anyone writing software which blatantly overwrites OS files is something which deserves the firing squad. It's a complete clusterfuck, and confuses the users to death, let alone unsuspecting developers chasing bugs.

So, at the very least, lets quote some version numbers in bug reports, and providing that AEon are not cloning version numbers, it might be possible to weed out this contamination sooner rather than spending countless hours tracking ghost bugs in someone else's crap code....

Just a thought....
