OM 7.3 freezing on ubuntu 22.04

Hello Karim,

As an experiment, I wanted to see if the issue affected OM 6.2, since I could reproduce it on both OM 7.3 and OM#, I did get a little further on OM 6.2, but it did eventually crash as well in exactly the same fashion. I seem to the issue most frequently when connecting boxes or adding new boxes. OM 6.2 mentioned a crash log, so I had a look, and it does seem to be some sort of GTK thing. I can atttach the log if you think it would be useful.

As a further experiment, I tried disabling the Nvidia graphics and running on the native Intel graphics. OM became unresponsive and crashed almost immediately. So I suspect that might not be the problem after all.

Could this possibly be relevant?

Apologies for making so many posts. I am eager to get this working and would like to help!

Dear Matyas, please do attach the log file this will be most useful

Dear Matyas,

No apologies needed :slight_smile: It might be the case but this doesnā€™t explain why i can run it on my ubuntu VM. Very strange.
Will investigate.

Thanx a lot for reporting.
Hope weā€™ll nail this bugā€¦

Hello,
Apologies for taking some time to reply. I wanted to spend my small amounts of free time these last few weeks making music, rather than hunting bugs, so Iā€™d been mostly working with OM on my old Mac!
In any case, I am attaching the crash log from my latest OM session on Linux. Note that this is OM 6.2, because Iā€™d been trying different versions, and that happened to be what Iā€™d been running at the time, but the behavior on OM 7.3 was identical.
Another interesting point: I did a massive system update, with a new kernel and various other system components, and OM seemed to be much more stable. In fact, I almost thought the problem was solved until it finally did crash after about an hour.
I am going to install the new 7.4 version and test. I will be sure to share my findings.

Hi,

I understand, no problem.
Indeed the log file concerns only the 6.20 version.
Can you tell me when did this crash happened? Sometimes a crash can happen due to some dynamic libraries.

Hello Karim,
Thank you so much for your continues attention to this issue. I do not currently have any additional libraries installed. When OM 6.2 crashed yesterday, I was in the process of adding an extra inlet to an OMIF box (for an ā€œelseā€ clause). Iā€™ve noticed that crashes do tend to happen when something is going on with the gui - adding a box, adding an inlet, setting up am OMLOOP, etc.
I did upgrade to OM 7.4 yesterday. It seems to be more stable than previous versions, but I did have one crash yesterday. I will obviously need to test further.
Thanks again!

No problem matyas,

I am concerned by this issue. I want to nail it if ican.
It seems as you say a gui issue, mostly an ā€œadding itemā€ and i suspect it is related to box+font issues.

I tried to simulate this effort on my ubuntu VM but it looks working, So very mysterious.
I promise i will keep digging!

Sorry for this
Best
K
