Remi,

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Yes to (1) and (2)

I think, Rein (PA0R) did much more expert investigation on the issue. But of course I will help, if I can.

Thank you
Klaus

Hallo Klaus,

Understood about the impossiblity to isolate Fldigi from PSKMail server in this context.

Windows or Linux please ?

If Linux, do you please have the possibilities:
(1) To type a couple of Shell commands
(2) To compile your own Fldigi version ?

Thanks and cheers

    Hello Remi,

    I'm running a PSKMail server and also experience fldigi freezes.
    It is random, sometimes runnung 48 hours or more, sometimes only 2
    hours or so after a restart.

    (1) the PSKMail server is running 24/7, so fldiigi alone makes no
    sense. But I can give it a try if you want
    (2) ok, please sequence of commands
    (3) Fldigi is always NOT minmized
    (4) nothing of any significance
    (5) NO
    (6) no
    (7) this way: fldigi --debug-level X (which value for X)?

    Greetings

           I have been trying to find an energy efficient way of running a
           server so I have been working on virtual machines and
        standalone
           computers for a while.

           I first tried to install it on Ubuntu 10 on a VM Server I
        gave up
           when I could not get the Signalink USB to transfer any
           information. Same situation using VirtualBox.

           So now I am trying a Laptop running Ubunto 10.04 fldigi 3.21.40
           from source and using fltk 1.3.

           So to test it I am using jPSKMAIL 1.5.7

           I am running fldigi minimized but that does not seem to be the
           problem.

           This works for 2 or 3 hours and fldigi freezes.

           Nothing in the Logs anywhere it just stops.


        (1) Do you have the same problem with fldigi alone and nothing
        else significant on your computer ?

        (2) Are you able to run the debugger "gdb" and see where
        fldigi is hanging ? (If necessary I will give the exact
        sequence of commands)

        (3) Same problem when fldigi is not minimized ?

        (4) Can you see the logged information (And send them)? This
        might tell what fldigi is doing when it hangs.

        (5) Is the problem entirely predictible ? (Always happen in
        exactly the same circumstances ).

        (6) Can you see what were the interaction between pskmail and
        fldigi when it happened (There might be a race condition in
        the xml-rpc server, this is whay it does not happen with
        fldigi alone).

        (7) Can you run fldigi in debug mode and try to reproduce the
        problem (And see the logging information) ?

        Thanks

           Maybe this is related to running jPSKMAIL and would not happen
           with the server.

           When I ran server some years ago I do not recall any
        problems and
           it ran on a much slower machine at the time for weeks on end.

           I have seen references by Rein and others to freezing and
        wonder
           if their is something I need to change that I do not remember.

           Maybe I should just get the server up and running and see
        if that
           freezes.

           Any suggestions are appreciated.
