Hello,

maybe you have Chrysalis pack installed and you have updated your MorphOS system with MorphOS 3.20.

Seems there are troubles with Chrysalis pack.

MorphOS 3.20 come with new FLAC Reggae classes in MOSSYS:Classes/Multimedia/ and Chrysalis pack had now obsolete FLAC classes Reggae installed in SYS:Classes/Multimedia/

Thanks to delete old FLAC.decoder and FLAC.demuxer in SYS:Classes/Multimedia/

Chrysalis pack is considered as "obsolete" and replaced by Easy2Install.

If you have others troubles with Chrysalis pack and MorphOS 3.20, thanks to post here.

Hello Papiosaur.

Is it possible to download even an old (any) version of Chrysalis pack please ? It is not for installation just education purposes. If I had before the iso inpacked on my Work partition I could see and learn where/how particular items should be placed on my real working system. Unfortunately one day i reinstalled my HDD and lost the pack. Not always everything is so clear for me so it would help a lot. Thanks

i send you the link in PM.

Merci beaucoup Papiosaur

@ Papiosaur - I think, overall, that too much emphasis has been made recently of the incompatibility of the now unavailable Chrysalis Pack that you used to produce on a regular basis.

For me, it was a great way to enhance the somewhat "bland and clinical" appearance of the base version of MorphOS, which I began using (registered) in 2012, and even though there were a few very minor troubles with it, often French language based (tut, tut, et zut alors ), I never had a major outage with it. I liked the additional skins and appearance of the default folders that could be installed that the Chrysalis Pack offered. Frankly it is a pity that some of that content was not embraced by the MorphOS Development Team as an official enhancement pack.

Maybe this could be considered as a useful option in the near future, as installing so many great add-ons would take ages to discover via Easy2Install, as good as that utility is, for a new MorphOS user. So, for me it made it so much easier to enhance my system in one-go with the Chrysalis Pack, that the few minor niggles that it caused were worth it, overall!

However, surely now a base enhancement pack could be assembled from all the great utilities and other programs that are stored on MorphOS Storage - in an agreement with the MOS Dev. Team?

At least the few minor niggles I had with the Chrysalis Pack are not like I am now having with v3.20 - which freezes my A1145 iMac if I run Jukebox (system utility), which is the main fault in the v3.20 release that I have reported back to the MorphOS Development Team (2 of its important members) . . . now that IS a serious failure!

I have since manually "cleaned" my System partition of any possibly troublesome/duplicate files in the main folders, i.e. C, Classes, Data, Devs, L, Libs, Locale, Prefs, S, that could have originated from the Chrysalis Pack. So, I know my system will not be a factor in any failures I have with the system software in most circumstances, but these files were not the cause for the "freeze" with v3.20 - it is v3.20 itself that is to blame and whoever in the MorphOS Development Team that did not do their due diligence in ensuring it all worked harmoniously before it was released.

That said I never had any issue with the files that were believed to have originated from the Chrysalis Pack that I removed. As it seems they never interfered, for me, with the day-to-day running of my MorphOS system, but it is nice to have learned from "geit" what should be where, and what should not, and I feel more settled that my system is not going to be the cause of an issue going forward.

It is just that v3.20 needs fixing for my iMac G5 iSight hardware, and I cannot believe that the MorphOS Development Team let this issue, amongst a few others for my hardware (which I have reported) slip through their usually so careful process of checking a release that was considered ready before they did just that! I can only hope for a quick resolution to this current situation with MorphOS v3.20.

@NewSense: Sorry, there is no future pack, because it's many work and i'm not motivated.

I have realized a tool named Easy2Clean to detect problems on SYS: partition (old Chrysalis pack installed or not)

Don't hesitate to contact me if you want to test it (always beta).

i have detected obsolete files in Chrysalis pack you can delete with it or manually:

SYS:Classes/Gadgets/colorwheel.gadget
SYS:Classes/Gadgets/gradientslider.gadget
SYS:Classes/Multimedia/FLAC.decoder
SYS:Classes/Multimedia/FLAC.demuxer

@ Papiosaur - I already deleted those

SYS:Classes/Gadgets/colorwheel.gadget,
SYS:Classes/Gadgets/gradientslider.gadget

. . . manually, once I checked through the MOSSYS files and found them to be duplicated with later releases in the MOSSYS folder, while I was checking through my system, along with other files.

My suggestion of a Next Generation Chrysalis Pack was just . . . a suggestion, and I of course understand that you are busy enough on your own current projects to maybe take on any more ideas. It doesn't have to be taken up by you, as someone else may decide it is still a good idea and they have time enough to do it justice, make a good job of it.
