hi all,
I have sometimes a bug when i lauch my PowerMac G5 (2.7Ghz).
MorphOS boot and before i see Amlbient, i have a window that appears "Log Server"
In this window i show that :
Name : Public Screen Manager"
Category : unknown exception
User :nobody

when i click on this : i see "68k Exception in Task 0x200c3fc8 "Public Screen Manager"

Stacktrace 68k : nothing...
Stacktrace PPC and registers :

http://www.warmup-asso.fr/test/2.jpg


I cant save log..... the disks arent available.

My configuration :
PowerMac G5 DP 2.7Ghz with 4 Gb RAM
ATI 9800 PRO 256 Mo (R350)
Monitor : LED 23" DVI 1920*1080

This bub onlyu appears from time to time, after some reboot it works, i see Ambient.

If you have an idea ? thanks

Does the CPU/GPU have sufficient cooling?
Does the problem persist when booting from CD?
Did you try turning Enhanced Display or Screenbar modules off?

Do you have yWeather.sbar installed?
It may crash the PSM, if the network needs more time to come up or there are problems to open/load the sbar for the first time.
Its (probably) because of a bug in ECX's library generation code (which I already fixed!).
I can send you a test version if you want.

@koszer
- yes, when MOS start normaly, it's working very well
- i check that with new install
- same, i test

@igracki
- yes ihave yWeather.... i disabled it and tell you the result

thanks

I have a similar 'Public Screen Manager' exception when my MacMini starts up, and I too have yWeather installed/running from startup as a screenbar module, so is this likely to be an issue until v3.10 is released?

It does not exhibit this same (PSM) exception every time my system boots, but I get it about 20% of the time when booting, and usually the next time it reboots this issue doesn't appear..

I've sometime the same (or similar) "Public Screen Manager" - problem on all MACs (PB, G5, Mini), but it always works after a second reboot. This occures since MOS3.9 and rarely also with naked MOS3.9 installation.........
EFIKA with MOS3.9 (till yet) and PegasosII (MOS3.8) are not influenced....

I have disabled YWeather and indeed this does not bug anymore.
I keep testing.

I am reassured, I am not the only one to have this worry.

PS: google translate... grrrrr

Hi, I just uploaded v1.18 of yWeather.sbar with the fixed library generation code.
Please, could you test this version and report if it fixes the boot problem?

so... that fix my boot problem, thanks you !
I reboot many many time and it's OKKKK for me

Interessting....I have never installed yWeather.sbar........

I've swapped over to v1.18, and I'll comment here if there are any issues in the future with yWeather v1.18, but so far it's running smoooothly, and thanks for hopefully fixing this issue so quickly.

Hello igracki.

This last week I had a little problem with yweather. During some days, I didn't have internet connection and when MorphOS booted, Ambient was kinda blocked: couldn't open any volumes, inserted usb disk didn't show nor dock icons worked.

Short story is that if yweather.sbar is used when connected to wifi but with no internet access, it blocks Ambient. But if router is off or no pcmcia wifi card when booting, then yweather fails but doesn't block Ambient, which I think should be the same in the first case.

I know is not a normal situation but thought it might be better to report.
