Re: STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback

The multi keystroke problem is definitely due to Raspi OS 64. It is only with the GUI desktop, not the command line terminal.

Standard Raspi OS does not have the problem. In addition, 64 bit Ubuntu Mate does not have the problem.

Thank you,

Re: Updated 64-bit Gentoo Image for RPi3 Released (now also for RPi3B+ and RPi4B)

Editing the config.txt did the trick. I had to edit the file from an auxilliary drive on the RPi. Win 10 would not let me open the file system. Ubuntu installed and ran fine. It still doesn't care for my monitor. No settings were available to make it as clear as RPi OS. It was worth a try. I just pr...

Re: Price and size of a Raspberry Pi 3 or 4

I remember taking a C/Unix course at a university in 1990. The lab "computer" was a Sequent with a 4 CPUs. All access was through 4 connected terminals. 386 laptops were a big deal then. I had a new Zeos 386 with a monochrome display. I ordered a Unix clone called Coherent from Mark Williams Co. for...

Re: STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback

Problem with multiple keystrokes in GUI Desktop. This problem may have happened during an update within the last week. While using the GUI Desktop, I have begun having a multiple keystroke problem. Initially, I thought it may be my senior citizen hands, though I am not having the same problem with m...

After reading this thread and another from the General Discussion that it is linked to, I tried the new 64 bit version on my RPi 4 - 4 Gb. When I try to boot, my older HP display does not display correctly. The is a shape across the middle that is roughly a wedge that is shifted. It is as if it is r...

Re: How necessary is extra cooling for the RPi4 now?

I am an RPi original adopter. I had the first RPi in the first PiBow case (the one with the hearts etched on the top.) As performance density increases in an electronic device, cooling becomes an issue. The RPi 4 have reached that level. As with all of my Pis, my 4B - 4 Gb is in a PiBow case. It is ...

Re: STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback

Zilf - Interactive Fiction update.

I was unable to get Zilf 0.9 to work on this new version of RPi 64 bit OS.

In addition, I was also unable to use Zilf 0.8 with "mono" as worked with earlier version of RasPi
(In previously appeared to work but the compiled files did not parse correctly.)

Re: STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback

Thank you for the input regarding zilf.

I did add the lib but that led to other issues. 64 Zilf binaries are available for x86 linux, Windows and OS X. For some reason only the 32 bit version is available for arm linux. I will try to contact the developer.

Thank you again,

Re: STICKY: Raspberry Pi OS (64 bit) beta test version feedback

I have run into a small issue with one of my specialty IF development apps. It is Zilf 0.9. It runs as expected on standard Raspbian OS but not on the 64 beta. Zilf complains that the libstdc++.so.6 is not available. libstdc++.so IS available. I wonder if I made a link to that library if it would wo...

I use a niche software system called Inform 6 and its set of libraries to develop parser based interactive fiction. Inform 6 published an important update within the last two weeks.

I recently installed RPiOS (64 bit) on an RPi 4 with 4 Gb. The system was upgraded via apt on July 31, 2020. I am using the install to transition to and learn Arm64 Assembly using the textbook by Stephen Smith. I have installed vim and emacs. I generally use the terminal mode but shift to the GUI de...
