It’s been sitting here frozen like this for a really long time, hours actually. I’m trying to install Lemmy on my raspberry pi. The terminal hasn’t moved at all in hours, but the mouse will nudge a little after like a minute of lag. Is it frozen in a broken way? Or should I just try and leave it for the night?

    I wish I could. The whole computer is completely frozen! Just the mouse will nudge a little very very slowly. I don’t think I can get another terminal open. And yes it’s very slow hardware. It’s a raspberry pi 3.

      Well, you can either let it ride or quit. Us old guys used to spend 24 hours compiling every few weeks to keep our systems up to date. I’d just be patient and wait.

        I’m thinking that I should probably let it ride. Maybe it’ll work. It’s not like I’ve got better plans for that little computer.

          It’ll work, it’ll just take time.

        I still remember when Debian had the problem that the mips builders couldn’t build packages fast enough to get through the queue before more packages came in, so there was an ever-growing backlog whatever they did. 😃
