Hi All,

Anyone else running W32/A40 (see tearline) and getting multiple (several an hour) crashes with error 216?

After crashing, it restarts fine but crashes again not long after :(

I can retrograde if another A40 is not forthcoming in the next few days or so (?)

Haven't seen that yet. I'm running the Linux 64bit version here.

I did have an issue where Mystic wouldn't let me log into the system. I had
to go into the user editor and reset my password, then it worked fine...

Yes, well sort of, I am running v1.12 A40 under Win 7 Pro 32-bit in an Oracle VBox which runs under Win 7 Pro 64-bit {chuckle}. FYI, I need the 32-bit environment for my development work. I re-ran my Mystic site update and it found 2 new files: v1.10 A40 dated Dec 9th 2018 early Am, and v1.12 from Dec 7th late Pm (19:31:30). I re-installed v1.12 A40 and the crashes have slowed to

once or twice every 3-4 hours, or, whatever is causing the crash changed frequency itself.

Either way, if g00r00 wants more info, I remain available and will refrain from

retrograding until tomorrow Am :)

And yes, the above mentioned v1.10 (NOT v1.12) is from Dec 9th 2018 in the Am ... strange though :)

I came home to one 216 crash (the first one since updating) and have
since updated to Mystic BBS v1.12 A40 compiled 2018/12/10 00:12:47 for win32

I have changed compiler versions and there seem to be some quirks that were
not showing in the previous version.

If you have the latest 12/10 version from I think 7am or so, it should create .mem files if you have a 216 crash (mystic.mem and mis.mem) and you can send those to me so I can address the problem. Or post it here whatever works.

Not yet, my Pi is still in a box somewhere. The real A40 will have a Pi version... these are just versions intended to test the new password stuff
that people found and started downloading - not the full A40 release.

I will try to set my Pi up and hopefully OSX too within the next week.

Usually, g00r00 will only compile the pre-releases for Windows and Linux. I guess to compile for RPi takes way too long...

I installed the 2018/12/10 version of 1.12 A40 early this morning and have not had a single crash since then (about 12 hours) which is great! {chuckle}

Usually, g00r00 will only compile the pre-releases for Windows and
Linux. I guess to compile for RPi takes way too long...

I have a donated Pi3 now which makes it much better, but I am still having to crawl under a desk to plug in a mouse and keyboard and monitor, and then copy everything over via USB drive before I can even work on it.

Its just a big process and I need to refine it. I am going to try to see if
I can get my Linux dev machines to compile for the Pi. Its not impossible
but seems like a pain in the ass. If I can do that, then every prealpha will have a Pi version.

Hi,

One way I've been successful with compiling stuff for the Pi is running Raspbian in QEMU. You then have the power and I/O of your server and the arm architecture to build the Pi packages. I found that to be a real good dev scenario as well as it's all enclosed and easy to snapshot, backup, etc.

Cheers!

Thank you for this. I had not through about trying an ARM emulator.

Are their Raspbian images that I can download for QEMU already or would I
need to build this on my own? I suppose I can just Google a bit and see what
I can find.

That will still possibly bring up the issue of getting the files from the Pi
to my main development system, but worst case scenario I'll just set it up to FTP the files directly to mysticbbs.com.

Here is a quick guide I found, I did something similar in the past but apparently never documented it myself.

the Pi to my main development system, but worst case scenario I'll just set it up to FTP the files directly to mysticbbs.com.

You can install cifs-utils and mount a Windows drive directly from Raspbian if your dev system is Windows. Otherwise sshfs can be another good option if
your dev system is Linux. FTP would be my last resort but would work too, it's just less "transparent". The good news, there is multiple options.

Cheers!
