Linux Mint works on one user account but crashes on another on Linux Mint 22.1
|
I have an Asus I5 laptop that I? set a second account up on to use Fldigi and WFVIEW together.? ?
?
I have created the profile twice.?
?
The first profile has Fldigi on it as well as WFVIEW.? I was setting them up to use with another radio.? The first one works fine.?
?
WFVIEW works fine on the second account as do other programs that are installed.?
?
If i start Fldigi from the desktop, the menu, or in the terminal ot crashes with a segment fault. This happens with or without WFVIEW running as I? am doing a virtual audio cable between the two.?
?
?
?
Any suggestions?

One suggestion to troubleshoot this crash would be to use the 'strace' command on fldigi. This will help pinpoint where the failure is occurring. If you're launching fldigi from the terminal, you could use a command like this: ``` strace -ff -tt -o strace fldigi 1>stdout 2>stderr ``` It's best to run this in a fresh directory, as it will create a 'strace.<pid>' file for each process forked by fldigi. It will also collect the stdout and stderr output from fldigi. If you could share the generated strace files, they might provide clues about the cause of the issue. 73, Neil N1HAN On Wed, Feb 12, 2025 at 5:38?PM John Kosobucki, N0QJA via <kosobucki.john=[email protected]> wrote:

开云体育Hi John Just some thinking out loud. I can't speak for wfview. My first thought was that if the .fldigi profile/directory was simply copied, then there are some hard references in the config files that will point to the other user's structure. eg fldigi.prefs has a reference to the macro file and fldigi_def.xml has various file locations that may need editing. If copied as root the r/w permissions also may need to be updated. You did however say "created the profile twice", (which profile?) so are there any group memberships setup for the first account that are not in the 2nd? The one that comes to mind is the dialout group, but depending on your environment may also include "audio". I am assuming that you are not running the user programs
concurrently, nor have any user specific program or library
installs. Cheers Bob VK2YQA On 13/2/25 09:38, John Kosobucki, N0QJA

By profile,? I? mean the 2nd user account.? Nothing was copied between accounts. I did get audio eventually after a reboot and the original problem disappeared.. Now I am left with a motorboating sound in the received audio.? I am not listening to the audio from WFVIEW as it is being passed to Fldigi. In the Configuration under sound card,? I have auto set for a baud rate and 10,1 and 11,1 for the port audio. I am trying to listen to audio via Fldigi so I have the box checked and default in it. On the View tab in the main window, RX audio is checked. There's audio with a motorboating sound in it. Maybe I have to install it for each account? Haven't tried that. Maybe? Pipewire is doing something.? As far as Pipewire goes, Fldigi shows up as an Alsa device when I? look at applications in Sound.? Might be a feedback loop or I miss applied something. When? I? set up the second Fldigi and WFVIEW,? both of the configurations started from scratch.? There was no carryover from the first user account.

Fixed it!? When I setup WFVIEW,? it specified using QT audio (default) and the default settings in their manual . Sine Fldigi does Port Audio, I set WFVIEW to Pot Audio and played with the settings until I heard good audio in the monitor on Fldigi.?? Since I have? a USB headset, I set it to be the monitor? and all is good ? On Fldigi my settings are: Port Audio WFVIEW settings: Sample rate: 16000 Just another Linux oddity .....
