Raspberry-Pi B+ problem
I have a problem running NetSurf on a R-Pi B+ It used to work. Then, one day, stopped running. I made no change to the R-Pi at the time. However the B+ appears to be extremely unreliable: Disc error keeps being reported. Usually falsely - but sometimes ther is a corruption, so I thin something may have been corrupted. But what? I have had the SD card replaced, and th eR-Pi itself. I have also almost entirely eliminated the power supply as a problem. When I run Netsurf, it goes into a continuous hour-glassing loop. alt-break stops it. I have Reporter running: this gives me no clues. It reports *Filer_run !Netsurf. Then after the Alt-Break, it lists a whole host of output, stopping at [Appl/0B2039C4] RMEnsure Iconv 0.04 Error 16_10F iconv support requires the Iconv module 0.04 or newer ** WimpError ** from Window Manager Error : 050DEAD0 Message: Press Stop to terminate Unknown. I have replaced Netsurf with a completely new update. No change. I have replaced Iconv and several other modules. No joy! So0 has anyone any idea of what is happening, or what I should do next? It's the Unknown that's looping. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

What about the power supply cable? Have you eliminated that too? Your problems look very much as if they are caused by low power supply voltage. Can you measure what voltage appears within the RPi?

Your problems look very much as if they are caused by low power supply voltage. Can you measure what voltage appears within the RPi? Dave I measured 5.16v, stable, on the expansion pins of the B+. It showed no variation as thePi was used. I also fitted a 3,000µF capacitor actoss these pins. The extra capacitor had no perceptible effect. So it certainly doesn't look like supply problems. Unless the voltage tolerance on the supply is incredibly tight. Netsurf was working for quite some time with no sign of any trouble. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

Can it be assumed that the 'whole host' corresponds to the Netsurf !Run file up to the point where it tries to rmensure Iconv? The unknown may be the !Run obey file itself or Iconv trying to initialise. The implication is that you haven't changed Netsurf or any of its support modules. From the error message you are running a fairly old version. What actual versions are you running? What compatibility mode are you running the Pi in? -- Chris Johnson

Can it be assumed that the 'whole host' corresponds to the Netsurf !Run file up to the point where it tries to rmensure Iconv? Yes, exactly as the !Run file. The unknown may be the !Run obey file itself or Iconv trying to initialise. I thought Iconv might be corrupt, replaced it. No change. The implication is that you haven't changed Netsurf or any of its support modules. a working NetSurf stopped working for no apparent reason. So I tred a completely new one. It now has RunImage dated December 4th - I think that's 2425. From the error message you are running a fairly old version. What actual versions are you running? What compatibility mode are you running the Pi in? I have just tried all 3 modes. It makes no difference. I also tried executing (via a StrongED task window) the !Run file step by step. This gives a Window Manager is currently in use after /NetSurf$Dir.KickNS and after Run NetSurf$Dir.!RunImage %*0 2Wimp$ScrapDir.WWW.NetSurf.Log First is thrown back to the Task Window, second is a Wimp error Box. Netsurf doesn't run, but machine does not freeze. -- Richard Torrens. http://www.Torrens.org.uk for genealogy, natural history, wild food, walks, cats and more!

I find it hard to believe that whatever detects such things would be making spurious reports. -- Jeremy C B Nicoll - my opinions are my own.
