Magik6k 17 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Super nice, but: * Scroll in license in installer is crashing * You should really consider using some package manager like OPPM/MPT for that * I have a strong feeling that this was ported from CC, structure of the files sort of doesn't fit OpenOS, have a look at this http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/linux_file_structure.jpg * With package manager packages wouldn't create mess in root directory * you REALLY, REALLY should use something like /home/[user]/Desktop/SomeApp.app, or at least /root/Desktop/some.app for app launchers, having all things inside the root (/) directory is not nice at all. Other loose suggestion for you is that you could adapt plan9k kernel(pipes package on mpt), to get multitasking and more security due to sandboxing. Learning how to use it may be a bit hard, but if you'd have a go at it you can catch me on IRC. Your entrypoint would be /bin/init.lua and you wouldn't have to modify Full OS to plug your functionality into something above BIOS level More on mpt: http://oc.cil.li/index.php?/topic/92-mpt-minecraft-packaging-toolbeta/ The whole system looks really nice. In case it'd stay on top of OpenOS, it only needs some work here-and-there, like translations of things, small bugfixes, and it would be even worth seeing it on loot disk. And YAY, first(?) proper gui based shell/os in OC world. EliteClubSessions 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jadenPete 0 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Yeah I like this too, but translation of the apps would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
forta86 1 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Please make English support. And if it possible i can make Turkish version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jadenPete 0 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 This is the best oc os i've ever seen, but English support would make it even better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PotatoOMG39 0 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Looks awesome, only needs translation in some areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kodos 3 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This looks great! However, I noticed with English language installed, the Finder app is still in Russian. Probably a couple more that I haven't found too, but I thought I'd post here and let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhagrid77 4 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I would like to say that I have installed like nessesiary, and I still have no GUI, on a totally unrelated topic, can it be installed on a server or is it strictly pcs... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIES 0 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 ...I still have no GUI... You need to enter "OS" in command shell first Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EliteClubSessions 21 Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 Added improved graphic rendering scripts, wallpapers, some new apps, libs, but still need to translate them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piorjade 2 Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I tried to translate it into german, but fucked the script up. I think i translated the wrong values/strings. Mr_Creeper543 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoorDovah 0 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 1. What's a GPU? 2. I have a tier 3 screen, but the "system requirements" thing says I don't. Why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhagrid77 4 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 A GPU is a Graphics Processing Unit, a tier 3 screen doesn't make anything different from a tier 2 screen except resolution. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gollark 1 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 The Terms and Conditions displayed in the installer state that your computer can be remotely locked by the OS developer. This is completely unacceptable for the majority of players. OS owners should not have that level of control over computers running their OS. Not only is it never going to help with anything, but the dev can now hold players' computers to ransom. DarkPikachu 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpmxyz 27 Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 You haven't seen the part about slavery, did you? For me it looks like a parody of real license agreements. PS: Nice UI, but I wished that it was fully translated... I just formatted the disk because I don't understand Russian at all. xD Do you already use a localization library? A well made one should make your live easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A well made one should make your live easier. That's what I thought too XD. If you ever read Window's terms of service and stuff, you see they can access your computer, that's one of the things listed in Windows 10, that's why you can't use pirated software, they are like Norton Anti-virus, deep in your computer, looking at everything with access to everything.

James_Bread 2 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Doesnt work for me. I get a blue screen. "Boot/3_compunt.lua:51: No primary 'slot' avable" How do i fix this. howardivanbaltazar 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baltazarhowardivanb 1 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Sir, my server computer isn't working with your operating system. It gives me bluescreen of errors saying "Unrecoverable Error boot/03_io.lua:6: bad argument #1 (string expected, got nil)" after the reboot option from the installation process finished. This is my spec of my server: Tier 3 Server, Tier 3 CPU, 4 x Tier 3.5 RAM, Tier 3 HDD, Tier 3 Graphics Card, Tier 3 Data Card, Internet Card, Network Card (Wired) and, EEPROM (Lua BIOS). I follow the installation process. I tried to switch into personal computer but same outcome, Removing Data Card, reducing RAM and still same error. The only cause is in the software or operating system lua commands. Hope you read and fix this problem in no time. For now, their is no older versions of this. Please, if you have, send the link on me.. I am a big fan of this Operating System Quote Link to post Share on other sites

baltazarhowardivanb 1 Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 @forta86 Step #1: Install OpenOS within the Hard Disk Drive Step #2: Reboot the installed OS Step #3: type the command (cd ..) without parenthesis. To remove /home, this causes the error (maybe) Step #4: type the pastebin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
