Frozen Pilbox
Help! I created a copy of the Hello World example, changed "Hello World" to "Test" everywhere placed in a folder named "test", zipped it, then used Termux to share it with Pilbox. Pilbox now displays as a completely black screen with the logo in the middle, and does nothing. I cleared the cache, force stopped the app, ano rebooted. No change. I have lots of data in another app within Pilbox, so I can't just reinstall. Any suggestions? I can provide further details of other things I had done before, but I don't know whether it would be relevant.

Does it contain just one single file named "App.l"? If so, nothing else in PilBox should be overwritten, and the problem can be only in the first line of that file, because nothing else is read at PilBox startup. Can you post the output of "unzip -l test.zip" and the content of "App.l"? Attaching the whole ZIP to a mail here is probably not a good idea due to spam filtering. The easiest fix is connecting via 'bin/pty' to a REPL and doing "rm -r test/". ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Of course it is : (call "rm" "-r" "test/") Just in case you have not enabled PTY yet: As you cannot use the built-in REPL of PilBox now, you can upload the necessary ".pty" file also via zip. E.g. on Termux: $ cd $ vi .pty $ zip -r x.zip .pty $ termux-share x.zip $ pil21/bin/pty ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe

Re: Frozen Pilbox
Thanks! I'll try that in the morning. A related question: Would it have been ok to just create the test directory (!mkdir test), copy App.l into it, and add PIL-test? I would find that simpler than the zip then share dance. –Shaughan openpgp4fpr:c04203ea8983566aed3848a33e06c22a1841ba3c If I replace all the old parts in my PC with new ones, will it turn into a Greek ship? https://www.reddit.com/r/shittyaskscience/comments/4wni7d/if_i_replace_all_the_old_parts_in_my_pc_with_new/?ref=search_posts …if you're just gonna end up in Arizona, then being dead isn't that much of a downgrade.

I tried, but it > just times out. Then perhaps somehow the file "App.l" in the PilBox home directory (i.e. the PilBox app itself) got overwritten? You could try to restore "App.l", by extracting it from the sources. You probably know, but for the records: $ curl -O https://software-lab.de/PilBox.tgz $ tar xfz PilBox.tgz PilBox/assets/run/App.l $ cd PilBox/assets/run/ $ zip -r a.zip App.l $ termux-share a.zip Let's hope ;) ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
