Solved why Timberwolf won't launch, DSI error.

Hi people,

I had to reinstall AmigaOS after hard drive errors.

I have always had a working version of Timberwolf on my Pegasos 2 and tonight when I reinstalled my machine and Timberwolf from a fresh install it would dsi error at the splash screen.

After much searching for answers I found a thread that gave me the answer however very cryptic, so I thought I would clarify for everyone.

With the latest install file of Timberwolf, it seems to assume you have an existing copy of a previous release candidate, so when you install it you don't get certain directories and files needed for successful launch. So I found on Aminet the original release candidate and copied the needed files to my directory and it now launches.... HOORAY!

The directories missing and there included files are as follows.

searchplugins
plugins
modules
res
dictionaries
extensions
defaults
chrome
components

The link to the release candidate 1 is as follows

http://aminet.net/package/comm/www/timberwolf

Simply download and unpack, then copy the missing directories and there files to the Timberwolf directory and all should work.

Hope this helps a few people struggling as I did to get it to work.

That fixed my Timberwolf woes too on an X1000, thanks!

@Fairdinkem

Start working to me too finally THANKS!

Your welcome glad I could help.

@Fairdinkem

!!! Thansk !!! Works. :) Thanks again.

I had always DSI (Data Storage Interrupt): Crash occured in module libxul.so at address 0x7E4C79F4

does anyone know where to get Timberwolf RC2 please?
RC1 is on Aminet
RC3 is on OS4Depot

edit.
Cancel this, I finally got TW rc3 up and running. 30mins so far and no issues at all.

@Fairdinkem

Wow incredible. I'll have to try this probably why I cant get it to work. I'll report back. Why in the world would they do this? The latest archive should be able to be install able stand alone

@magnetic

Yeah I have no idea why they didn't make it a stand alone installer?

Not intentionally, these must have been overlooked during packaging. Which is... weird. I'll have a look as soon as I find the time, and make a new archive.

Thanks a lot of the the info, very helpful!

Your welcome Rogue, I love Timberwolf I can't wait for the new released updated version you and Ssolie are working on.

The only problem I got with the latest TW is when I quit it, which gives me a DSI error after a while.

@Rogue

Hi. Is there going to be a new .lha released of latest Timberwolf?

@magnetic

I don't think Rogue is the one working on it right now. (latest rumour says that timberwolf drove him mad)

I think it is Steven Solie now (poor fellow)

@edit

Didn't see Rogue posted in this thread

Hi all,

I just changed ISP from Sky to BT and had to re do my AmigaOS network connections (gateway, primary, secondary dns and static IP) I do not know what I did differently, but the startup to first page of all my amiga web browsers is now near instant. Netsurf now flies, Odyssey is at least 50% faster and the big bonus is, so far I have been unable to crash TW. In fact TW used to crash as startup, which I now suspect is because my old network was breaking it.

I wish I knew exactly what I have changed to fix the problems but I don't. All I can say is check your network settings!

Is anyone going to fix the latest Timberwolf archive so new users can just download latest version and it works OOTB instead of having to hack it?

@magnetic

That would be nice to see.
Rogue committed to do it when he found the time. I guess he is too busy right now.

A bigger update of TW from ssolie would be more useful than a repackaging of TW.

@ddni

Sad to say but it looks a dead project currently, latest version was released in September 2012, since then the only news we got (after 12 months) is that the project was taked by Ssolie (his idea was to make a little team to restart the project) but again since then another 3 or 4 months passed and again we didn't have any other news, neither a single words in forums ..

All that story It's not serious if you ask me, expecially considering all support and feedback they got by bug report and donations ..

@ddni

We would all like to see an update of TW. For the moment, however, the latest archive needs to be fixed for noobs when they dl it from the interwebz so it works out of the box, not more frustration and work arounds.

That is a load of B.S. I was working on Timberwolf before Christmas and have been distracted since. Simple as that.
