WDL dies unexpectedly...

…for no “apparent” reason.

Long time WDW user, just switching over to the Darkside.

Suse 9.1 personal, P4-2.4, 1G ram.

As stated, the software will just stop and disappear. Sometimes it will run for several hours, sometimes just minutes.
I can restart it and the program logs show no errors.
I have tried this on all the major, free distros and they all behave the same.
Running on another desktop seems to make it stay up longer.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

After how many hours closes WD? Shows the Terminal any errors?

Sometimes 3-4 hours and other times just a few minutes.
I don’t run it in a terminal…?

hi
are you using the aprs?
that causes problems, which i am working on
also, try the latest linux verision too

yes, if you run
[code:1]./GoWeather.sh[/code:1]
from the terminal, many times displays if an errors occur

Thanks folks.

Turned off: “Produce APRS output file”
Enabled: Run in terminal.

The program closed and seems to close more often after an upload of images.
This error was in the terminal: Exception EInOutError in module WeatherD at 0839E400.
I/O error 103.

check the permissions on all the files in the wd folder, that they are not protected/etc

OK folks, Part Deux as they say.
In the last 2 weeks I have installed 2 other OS. Suse 9.1 PRO and Mandrake 10.1 Community (current)

WDL still crashing soon after generating the web images and uploading them.
New Errors:
[color=Red]./GoWeather.sh: line 20:

the odd thing is I used to get those errors before, but stopped getting them for the past few versions. Maybe it is connected to what images are being made… what images are you producing?

what is eveb odder is that there are no gif images in use directlry in the linux version
what i would say is its a reference to a gif image you have downloaded (or set to download), from the windows version…///
(i.e hence the name satelliteimage.gif)
check all the http , etc download settings (including #2 setups) and remove all those settings in reference to gif images (gif is not supported in WD for linux)

i don’t think so, because I have recieved that before, and even in the windows version I have never set it to download anything by that name, or anything for that matter

:roll: OK, I sit here

i do remember some issues with regards to satelliteimage.gif in the windows version, but i fixed that along time ago
maybe it survived to the linux version

great you have found the problem, re the aprs
i have worked and looked at the aprs…

At least the reason for it not working, that you didn’t have the computer on

I’ve had the same problem with wdisplay for Linux. Never have configured satellitepicture.gif. Is there a place in the Linux settings that defaults to this filename in a configuration setting?

hi
its possible i might have set a http component to have that as a default file
i will check
nope, thats not it…
and doing a search all for .gif does not bring it up
which version of the wd linux are using?

Brian,

I’m running a fresh copy of version 5.2 using Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3.0.

Thank you,

Mike

5.4 (zip) has more improvements and fixes
try that

I’ll give it a shot. Thank you…

Mike
