Re: Raspberry-Pi B+ problem
Hi Richard, Not sure if the below will help but you could give them a try, even if to eliminate from your enquiries. (1) On my R-Pi sometimes Netsurf gets stuck in a loop of redirecting itself to its home page. Quitting Netsurf and deleting the folder: SDFS::16GbPi.$.!Boot.Resources.!Scrap.ScrapDirs.ScrapDir.WWW (or wherever the WWW folder resides in your !Boot folder) then restarting Netsurf cures it. (2) I had to reinstall the boot sequence once to fix a Netsurf problem though this may have been on a Beagleboard, and as you've replaced the SD card I guess by defintion you've already reinstalled !Boot. Chris.

Excellent! Thanks. I renamed SDFS::RISCOSpi.$.!Boot.Choices.WWW.NetSurf to .NetSurfX NetSurf then started fine then I quit Netsurf and started moving the old files back. The problem was a corrupted Hotlist in there. It was 7M and most of that was junk looking very much like a memory dump. The section immediately after the hotlist was a load of lines such as (27736.96) render/html_object.c html_object_free_objects 651: object 0x67ea3858 which is clearly dumped from Netsurf. Deleting all the junk after the final /ul of the hotlist proper, nothing has been lost. -- 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
