  • Mystic 1.12a43 pause on connect

    From Digital Avatar@46:1/145 to All on Sat Sep 21 19:58:36 2019
    So I've noticed an obnoxious bug with Mystic 1.12a43 on RPi ... on connecting there's roughly a 4 second delay before preuser.ans is triggered. I'm
    wondering if this is a regression of a similar bug that appeared in the 1.10 series that involved some cockup with ANSI autodetection? I set Ask Emulation to force ANSI on the idea that was the case but it had no effect. Any ideas?

    That doesn't sound like any issue I had on mine when I was running it on a
    Pi. Sure, it was a tad slower than on a VM or other more powerful systems,
    but yeah, never saw that on mine. Might be the model you're using? Or maybe something with the hardware?

    It's a brand new RPi4.

    Oof, I don't know then. Is it just the initial screen, but everything else
    runs fine?

    Yes. As soon as I connect to the server it pauses for like 4 seconds, and thereafter everything is fine. I tried fiddling with the settings for Code
    Page and Terminal Emulation auto-detect but I got nowhere.

    When you connect, does it show the Mystic version immediately, or does that take four seconds to show as well? I figure if that shows immediately and
    then first ansi shows four seconds later, then it's a Mystic thing. If it's
    the former, then it might just be something with the OS performing a connection.

    No, when I connect the Mystic version string doesn't print until ~4 seconds after connect. Likewise, the entry in MIS's message log signaling a
    connection doesn't appear until that time. I used linux's telnet client to verify this wasn't a Syncterm thing. When I connect with the telnet command
    my connection is established immediately, but MIS doesn't log it, nor do I
    get any text, until after 4 seconds... so it's pretty clearly a Mystic thing.

    Sounds like it. I honestly don't know what the issue would be. Have you tried another BBS package to see if it's specifically Mystic?

    No, but i suppose i can try throwing synchronet on there this weekend and
    start debugging this issue.

    Yeah, that'd be something I'd try just to help narrow down what might be the issue. If the same thing happens it might just be something with the
    hardware, or OS.
