I installed version 0.9.2 on two machines using the Ubuntu repositories. When I attempt to type in more than about 15 to 25 characters, the program hangs and I cannot type further. In fact at that point, Basic256 freezes and the only thing I can do is a forced kill.<br> <br> Both machines are running version 10.04. One is the server install with Ubuntu LXDE (Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) as a graphical user interface. The other machine is running Kubuntu 10.04. One is a 64 bit machine, the other is a 32 bit machine. Both are English language machines. I have been successful typing in a short command <b><tt>print "it"</tt></b> which produces the results I expect.<br> <br> I have downloaded the basic256_0.9.6.48.tgz but I don't know how to install from that.<br> <br> Any suggestions that you can make would be greatly appreciated.<br> <br> Ray<br> <div class="moz-signature">-- <br> <h4>Ray Fried</h4> <br> Web: <a href="http://www.frieds.org/">Ray & Twyla's web page</a> <br> <br> <i>"My doctors told me this morning my blood pressure is down <br> so low that I can start reading the newspaper again." <br> </i> <b>- Ronald Reagan, 1987</b> </div> </body> </html> |
