ArcaOS 5.1.2 First Impressions !!
« on: March 09, 2026, 07:04:06 pm »
Hello

Today ArcaOS 5.1.2 was released. I just wanted to know your first impressions if you want to share it.

I will be installing it on VirtualBox first and later on real hardware.

Hello

I did a clean install, my first issue is with ANPM, "Update all".
It gives me an RPM error (Attached). This is not Arca Noae side, it is the Netlabs-rel.

I will report it to https://github.com/bitwiseworks/rpm-issues/issues (If it was not reported already)

The rest seems fine, but I keep testing it.

Hello

For the next release of ArcaOS I want to recommend to adding the /Q switch on the config.sys of these ones
 DEVICE=C:\OS2Additions\VBoxGuest.sys /Q
 IFS=C:\OS2Additions\VBoxSF.ifs /Q
 IFS=C:\Programs\NDFS\NDFS32.IFS /Q
 CALL=C:\sys\apps\ifx\ifx.exe /Q

Please let me know if you think something horrible will happen to do that.

I think I found my issue. The RPM got installed as i686, I don't know what I did wrong on the install procedure. I will need to check on that again.
