Thank you Chris.
After moving away from Wayland all seems to be rock stable now.
Appreciate your advice and guidance.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for updating the package.
I am still having the same issue with 2018.11 with a segfault.

The AppImage runs but is unstable and crashes when I change things.
At this time I have done the usual things:
ensure everything is up to date
reboot machine
make a new user and environment only for xLights
uninstall and reinstall the package.

I am arranging another machine for a clean install of Ubuntu, but I don't really want to reload my laptop.

This is the only application that is  failing, but I am the only one that seems to have the issue, which means I must have an issue with my install.  I have no idea how to go about working out what dependency is failing.

Can anyone with deeper skills point me in the right direction please..

TIA

Paul Budden

Chris Debenham has not yet released 2018.11 for Ubuntu yet.
I will see if I can upgrade manually

Thanks

Hi, I just went to launch xLights and get the splash screen then nothing on screen apart from an error report from Ubuntu after a few mins.
it is reporting a SIGSEGV in XQueryExtension()

I don't see any logs created from xLights

Did the usual stuff. make sure all is updated and reboot for clean machine and the same.

Is this known and being looked at?

TIA

Thank you for the update Gilrock.  I scanned for my configuration in the forums but didn't see any direct matches.
I'll wait for 2018.3 and work in windoze in the mean time.

Do You Need Help? Post it here / xLights 2018.2 and Ubuntu 17.10 not running

« on: January 16, 2018, 03:30:15 PM »

Hi,

I have been running xLights for a little while now.
Since I am running Ubuntu, I installed with a PPA from Chris Debenham.

The has done some updates with no issues, usually a day after it is released on here.
Most recently. with 2018.2, I have not been able to launch xLights.
I didn't run 2018.1 so I don't know if that has an issue.

I am getting a segfault when run:
Jan 16 22:21:51 pb-Studio-XPS-1640 kernel: [110662.940432] xLights[29685]: segfault at 0 ip 0000562ed8fad55e sp 00007fff11fe8ce0 error 4 in xLights[562ed7e2f000+2055000]
Jan 16 22:21:51 pb-Studio-XPS-1640 kernel: [110663.257678] xLights[29689]: segfault at 0 ip 000055b71580455e sp 00007ffc852ddbd0 error 4 in xLights[55b714686000+2055000]

I have attempted various user things including restarting my machine and launching as root from the command line, no change.

Can anyone suggest if the issue is something local or something in the code?

Thanks

Paul.
