• Iris glitch

    From Chris Newman@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 26 22:45:49 2023
    Hi,

    Has anyone had experience of this behaviour?

    I have Iris 1.027 (02-Apr-2023).

    FAST Pi Compute Module 4 RISC OS 5.29

    Quite often, if I quit Iris it stiff the machine. Doesn't happen every
    time. This has started fairly recently but I can't see what has induced
    this behaviour

    On occasions, while it's on the iconbar and I'm doing something I get an endless hour glass. Alt/Break gives me a message about closing WebKit
    Network process. If I OK that, the machine stiffs so maybe it's that part
    of the gubbins which is problematical.

    Reporter gives lots of messages re WebKit.

    Thank you for pointing at a new version!

    I only discovered it by accident. Wondering whether the problem was a
    corrupted Iris, I went to fetch a clean copy and found the update. I
    don't remember it being advertised anywhere.

    I'd been using IrisRAM and wondered if that was the problem but I've
    stopped using that and the glitch persists. This FAST is so swift I don't really need the RAM disc now.

    Quite often, if I quit Iris it stiff the machine. Doesn't happen
    every time. This has started fairly recently but I can't see what has induced this behaviour

    Until now I used Iris 1.025 (and previous versions), but I don't recall
    any machine stiffing when quitting Iris. I'll let you know if 1.027
    appears to have changed something in this respect.

    I did notice however a lot of reports when I had !Report running coincidently. Perhaps not the same reports, but it certainly isn't
    something that is exclusive for the latest version.

    When I shut down, I'm trialing one by one closing things on the iconbar
    before shutting Iris to see if anything is conflicting. Bit of a long
    job. I recently set !Transient to trap all deletes so that is my next
    suspect to eliminate.

    Very, very rare now I have any lockups 1.027 is the most stable version I
    have used.

    First question: Do you have Alignment Exceptions On or Off. Iris works
    best with them off. If 'on' some odd things can happen and they do warn of
    this in the text files with Iris.

    This could also be an interaction with the Compute Module 4, I doubt Iris
    has been tested with that in the hardware mix.

    Have you tried a fresh install of Iris?

    If you can list a repeatable instance of the issue, i.e what other
    software was running, website visited where you had the issue, etc..

    Then best to report it to RISCOSBits in case its the Compute Module cauing
    the issue and then maybe to RISCOS Developments.

    Not much of a help, sorry.

    Off.

    It was OK for a while with this new computer, then it went pear shaped.

    Have you tried a fresh install of Iris?

    Yes. See my post replying to Paul.

    See same post.

    I'll do that when I've eliminated as far as possible anything I might be doing wrong.

    It's a bit hard to get messags to the Iris developers it seems.
