Strange Issue with Pi

Every other reboot, when I open any application they all open as folders instead of the application. If I reboot, the problem goes away until the next reboot. Is this a known issue or a problem with my RiscOS install?

Might be related to the sticky keys thing and possibly poor power supply. I’ve seen similar on mine, if you press and release [SHIFT] does it behave itself for a bit?

My current keyboard always seems to get setup with the numlock turned on, which – being a compact keyboard makes for s60e 6dd th5ngs 4nt53 5 n6t5ce and c6rrect 5t.

I’ve also seen the shift-key-down problem, but not so much recently.

And if you try somthing like this?

Well really. You can’t come and solve problems just by pointing to a system tool that we ought to know about. No fair!

:-)

Sorry. I not wanted to annoyed anyone. Sometimes the easy things are forgotten. I use three different compact keyboards and have this problems no longer with these settings. But I never use this tool ;-) …
I use *co. nonum and *co. nocaps in a taskwindow. Not sure if you should save your cmos or create a obey with the commands and place it in predesk.
Sorry again.

I’m sure no one was annoyed. The answers to many problems are simple and clear to those who know!
I’ve more than once had a problem and googled for an answer, only to find a clever chap called Chris Evans posted the answer a few years ago:-/

Tims comment: It’s a little joking technique known as irony with a small dash of hyperbole.

Oh, absolutely no need to be sorry Raik!

Humour is hard to pull off in type; it works tolerably well on this forum because so many people are either Brits or so used to Brits that it doesn’t matter.

Then of course there is the trouble Brit humour got me into in California…..

A friend¹ working on a project finished the project a week before the target date.
The team were taken to a fancy restaurant and treated to a very expensive meal.
Replete, Julian sat back and said “I could murder a fag”²
Silence fell, rippling out from their table.

“It’s OK, he’s British and it means cigarette in their slang” said the host.

Conversation restarted.

¹ Regular smoker
² Obviously Julian didn’t know the American use (or may have been trying it on)

Unfortunately two tenets of British humour are sarcasm and self-deprecation, look at Monty Python, Basil Fawlty, Mr Bean…

I am becoming increasingly convinced that many French people do not understand sarcasm. It isn’t a language issue as even after I’ve explained it, they’re like “huh? and?”, totally missing the point. But the slapstick gags (like a facepalm) do get a few giggles, sometimes, if they understand the purpose. Otherwise I actually get asked “are you feeling okay? is something wrong?” but not in a sarcastic way, in a dead serious way.
<sigh>

International humour is difficult.

They probably think irony is removing creases from clothes :)

Even with the use of own language humour can be a problem. And here speaking / writing all another language than I am.
