Updating Squeak 5.2 to trunk on Raspbian Buster fails on an upgraded Pi 3

Hi all,

today I downloaded a 5.2 changed some preferences and then updated to trunk.
This worked without a glitch on Windows 10 and Linux Mint but crashed Squeak on my
Raspi3B wich I upgraded from Stretch to Buster some time ago (against the advice).

Since then I have some glitches with loosing the network but this was not the case
here (as far as I could see). I tried two times, both failed.

Cheers,

Herbert

OK,
firstly, as you mentioned, moving from Stretch to Buster via updating was very much not recommended; which is very irritating when it means you have to work out what the hell you have added/changed so you can replicate it. Surely there must be some way of finding that stuff out and auto-generating some kind of script?

Secondly, the crash dump shows you are running a late 2018 vm so I strongly recommend updating that. I faintly recall having a fatal crash during update last summer(ish) but I changed the vm and haven't seen anything since.

Ahh Ok,

I had assumed the download brings everything (Windozer :-)) Will check
and report, if it still crashes. And yes to what you say about the
Raspbian upgrade but I obviously didn't change too much so it worked for me.

Thanks,

Herbert

Hi Tim,

downloading the latest production vm squeak.cog.spur_linux32ARMv6_201912311458 made
the updates work. Now I'm curious if it will speed up my Raspi1 A+ running 24/7 since
mid 2015 at 60% CPU. I think it runs 4.4 atm.

Thanks,

Herbert

Good; always nice to find out that a bug got squashed.

Let us know; I don't think anything serious by way of performance got worked on, at least not by comparison to the interp->cog changeover.
