Avalanche

Is version 0.22 (28 Dec 2009) the latest version of Avalanche in existence? It gives a lot of zero pain here on a Titanium, and also sometimes exits with data aborts.

My copy is version 0.22 (28 Dec 2009) and it gives me no trouble on Ras Pi 5.24

Are you able to type text into a window on the remote machine? Any attempt here to eg reply to an email results in a data abort as soon as the first character is typed.

I am viewing an ARMX6 from a Titanium.

Edit: I should add it is Avalanche that dies – the remote machine is fine.

Yes. This post was done using Netsurf on the remote machine. (Remote is also a Pi 5.24)

All of my wired network is stable (RISC OS, Linux and Windows Computers all connected only via local cables and switches).

But I do have some trouble with just one particular Pi RDPclient connection to XP over Devolo Home Plugs. (EDIT: Even then, if dont’t type it doesn’t crash)

Can you be sure that your problems are not network related?

Not sure.

Here, Avalanche never really worked. I tried it with XP, 7, 10, Linux computers and Pi 1, 2, 3, Beagleboard, Pandaboard, etc. With almost always the same defaults. Sometimes it crashes after one minute, sometimes after one hour, but it crashes.

Sometimes because of connection issues, sometimes because of the server going too fast, sometimes because of the client being too slow, sometimes because of the server software, etc. If the processing speed between client and server is big, it tends to crash sooner. One packet lost and it crashes too.

It would be great to have a new build with VFP included and some bugs removed.
But I prefer to bet on Evince. I hope it will be available soon.

Hope too to have new builds of Cino and Geminus for ARMbook :)

Further to my previous posts on this top, I had an idea.

I regularly use RDPclient on a 5.24 Raspberry Pi other than the one I am typing on now and I have no problems with it. Whereas this one gave me trouble with frequent crashes when typing into RDPclient. (like I am doing now)

So why not swap the keyboards! Could it be that simple?

So far, no problems. (I have not tried the other Pi with the suspect keyboard yet, but this keyboard seems to to be good on here. and !avalanche works as well)

If anything changes, I will post again.

The answer appears to yes. The offending ‘genius’ keyboard has now been consigned to the recycling bin.

And all of the RDPclient problems have gone away
