On 28 Mar 2022 as I do recall,
Post by Chris HughesPost by Harriet BazleyI'm afraid I've never done an OS update (ROM re-flash?) in my life and
wouldn't know where to start....
Its not a ROM re-flash. R-Comp provide a simple upgarde program that does
all the work for you and also gives you the option to roll back to the
previous version if you wish.
You download the update from the secure download site they provided the
details in the booklet that came with your computer.
OK, I downloaded and ran what appeared to be the relevant version
(IMX6_OSupg20). I also spent forever downloading the 'Stuff Pack 12',
but on reading the innards of that it doesn't appear to have been
updated since Spring 2018, well before my computer was sent out - doing
the version check on ChangeFSI as suggested reports that I already have
the latest copy. So I haven't attempted to use that, especially since
my preferred hard disc layout is different to that of the default
supplied version (I'm *still* moving things to more logical positions
where I can find them, even after two years on the new OS!)
But I ran the OS upgrade program, and after rebooting it now reports
RISC OS 5.29 (01 Feb 22) and Window Manager 5.84 (29 Dec 2021). It
hasn't cured the original redraw problem in Powerbase, though. :-(
An interesting further observation (re Powerbase) is that if I create a
report and then jump to a specific record by double-clicking on the
report window, then the field I double-clicked on *does* get updated
correctly, in addition to the main index field (which is the only one
updated when you use Go To Next/Previous Record). But none of the
other fields in the record are redrawn.
