Jim Reisert AD1C, <jjreisert at alum.mit.edu>,

Built and working on LMDE 5 64 bit with a real TS-870s as the target.

Seems OK, but there is (like 2.0.05.05) a momentary assertion of the DTR line as the serial port is opened.
(I may have omitted to report that, but 2.0.05.05 has been working OK for me for some time now.)

I have protection against that (using the radio's TX-Disable feature) but it could key an unprotected radio momentarily if a simple hardware PTT is used, driven from DTR.? (RTS is needed for flow control, and the hardware PTT is "Needed" so the rig will accept TX Audio from the rear accessory port.)

However, it crashes and deadlocks the UI when using the companion "Extra Buttons" dialogue, needing a "Kill" from Htop to end.
The buttons stay "stuck in" and the entire Flrig UI is frozen.? No excess CPU usage that I can see in that state.

The .05 alpha was not a problem.


The same happens with the FT736r, also needing Htop to Kill it.


Testing .48 alpha with the PCR1000, and all seems well.? Not got an antenna on it at present, but all the controls seem to work, making changes to the background noise as expected.

I do not (yet) have any of the extra buttons configured with that RX, so nothing happens when they are pressed.? They also do NOT cause the UI deadlock, so maybe some clash of threads with the other rigs with the serial I/O routines?


If you require any specific testing, just give me chapter and verse instructions, and I'll do the tests for you.


73, and thanks for your time and effort etc.

Dave G0WBX.

I tried the new test release flrig-2.0.05.48.

It still works like my previous post. I guess it is still like the last patches you sent.
I know you have been busy with fldigi lately.

Perfect. Thanks Dave!

Are you a member of the winfldigi? Going to move it there as they allow message posting to a single person.

Robert:

Cray, not hardly ?. Too much power consumption, just simple Celeron N5105’s for radio work on Linux Mint boxes. The Windows box (not connected to a radio) is an 11th generation i7, pretty mainstream.?

My friend who tested the Alpha versions is also running a vanilla N5105 on Windows.?

I will certainly try the code for either yours or the “flamp-test” when available (provided I can remember how to compile it ?).?

de KI4DKS (Tom)

I beginning to think your are running a vic-20 or Cray computer. I'll push the code to SF and provide the git path (command) to download it. Both versions operate correctly on my machine, but not yours (windows) I wondering if we have a race condition. Need to run a few more tests. Note: the Test version runs correctly on MacOSX also.

Thank your for the report Dave.

David, W1HKJ

FYI:

Same initial "problem" seen here on LMDE 5 when shutting down Fidigi that was previously invoked from a command line.? (The Fatal Error message) using either "File | Exit", or the UI window top right "x" button.

Likewise, I'd seen it in a previous version, but ignored it as the program was exiting anyway.

The change to line 1647 in fl_digi.cxx has fixed the issue.

Thanks.

Dave G0WBX.

The version I downloaded (either from W1HKJ or Source Forge) is showing a compile date of:

With a Hash of:

Robert:

My normal OS is Linux Mint.
Hash confirms for both files above.

I updated my Win11 machine to fldigi v4.2.05 per your instructions above.

Your version of flamp appears to function correctly with partial relay.
The flamp-test executable runs, but is aborting any partial relay.

Do you happen to have Linux source for your version, so I can test on my radio computers?

de KI4DKS (Tom)

That works for me, Dave. Thanks.

Just downloaded FLAMP from Source Forge, Issue present.

go figure.

Turns out the HASH values for my copy of FLAMP 2.2.12 differs from Source Forges version 2.2.12. Something fishy is going on.
Please standby while I'll investigate further.

Robert

Better yet perform a binary compare with my copy to yours, that way you don't have to execute it.

Please modify this file: src/dialogs/fl_digi.cxx

line 1647, was "export, "cabrillo",

change to: "export", "cabrillo", "UDP fields",

recompile and test

To clarify, is this issue on Linux and Windows?

If the plot gets any thicker I'm not going to be able to swim in it.

Can you right click on flamp.exe file and from this context menu select CRC SHA -> SHA-256 see if you get the same hash value. You might need to use another option for the SHA-256 hash calculation as this context menu might be from the 7zip install on my machine. I done recall if this is the case.

If you compiled your own version the above would likely fail, recompile with optimization turned off and see if the issue persist.

We can perform one more option, going to modify the program to output a bunch of data along the function path see what shows up. I'll post here once I hear back from you.

Robert

My experience running fldigi version 4.2.05.20 on Linux Mint 21.3 (and the terminal error spew) is very similar to yours.

I didn't realize that fldigi was crashing out instead of closing gracefully until I ran it from the command line. After clicking the Close (X) button, it takes 3 seconds for the window to disappear, but that's also true of version 4.2.05, which exits normally. The crash is odd because the program functions as it should as far as I can tell. On exit there should be nothing for the program to do but end its processes and release the resources it was using.
