Hey all,

I did a fresh install of Linux Mint 21.3 this morning, making a dual boot Windows 10 / Linux system. I followed the wiki instructions here:



to compile and install flrig-2.0.05.45 and fldigi-4.2.05.20. Everything seemed to go fine, with one small hiccup in the wiki instructions:

$ sudo aptitude build-dep fldigi

did not work, even though aptitude is installed. So I tried this:

$ sudo apt build-dep fldigi

and that seemed to work fine. No warnings or errors where given when running configure and make. Fldigi seems to be functioning just fine.

But, when I close fldigi, it is giving me a "Aborting fldigi due to a fatal error" message and a stack trace in the shell (see the attached file for the full message). This only seems to happen after I have transmitted with fldigi, and then close it. If I open fldigi and then immediately close it without transmitting anything, I do not get the "Aborting" message. I guessing that maybe libstdc++.so.6 and/or libfltk.so.1.3 are the likely culprits?

So next I uninstalled fldigi 4.2.05.20, and then compiled and installed fldigi 4.2.05. I do not get the "Aborting" message when closing fldigi any longer.

I guessing maybe there is a dependency with 4.2.05.20 that I am missing? I'm not sure what to check. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve K4RVA


PS. I have used Linux Mint, and other flavors of Linux, on this hardware in the past but I do not recall this happening before. Here are the likely relevant bits:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4790 CPU @ 3.60GHz
16GiB
GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Audio Device (a Sabrent USB sound card)
Prolific Technology, Inc. PL2303 Serial Port / Mobile Action MA-8910P (USB-to-serial interface)

Look like your sound card ID name (or the code that processes it) is the issue, return a bad string which libstdc++ choked on.

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.

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

line 1647, was "export, "cabrillo",

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

recompile and test

That works for me, Dave. Thanks.

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.
