new version of WD linux , similar to WD Mac version

you need to start the listening of the broadway as sudo as well (i,e every command)

Running Broadway and weather display with sudo gives me the same result as my previous post. I get a small display in the browser and after a few seconds get an access violation.

but did you start the broadway listen as sudo as well

That is correct. See screen shots.

I will re test here…with the latest version… it did work for me…ps, what weather station type?

have tested here,latest version, and it works


My station type is Arduino. What version of Ubuntu are you using? I

I am using Unbuntu 16.04
and I am using FireFox browser, which is built in, from the task bar up the side

I set the station type to Stationless, tried it with firefox and still not working. If we are indeed running the same versions of the software involved, and it appears we are, the only other variable would be hardware so this may be a video driver issue - but that wouldnt explain why other apps work like the gtk3-demo. It appears you may be running a virtual instance of Ubuntu? Maybe that has some influence on this. Im gonna give up for now. Maybe I’ll try virtualizing it in the next few weeks.

yes, I am running linux in a virtual box on windows
but not sure why that should matter
it might instead of something to do with the GTK version installed?

We have the same version based on your last screen shot.

one thing, are you using the latest WD linux version?
try updating that

Updated to the latest version. Still not working. However the error message is different now. i was getting an Access Violation before, now i get a ‘Segmentation fault (core dumped)’.

those are similar errors (memory error)
you could try as a test:
back up then delete the WD settings files (when WD is not running)
i.e WDISPLAY.INI and wdisplayftp.ini
from
/Documents/wdisplay/

so that WD starts up with no settings

No change.


I do not see those errors
i wonder if its associated with screen resolution maybe?
since it references gdk width?

I’ve just got WD for Linux running this morning on a brand new Intel NUC with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. So far I haven’t connected it to my Davis because that is reporting weather data to my Windows PC. At this stage I want to be sure that WD for Linux is going to work to some degree before committing to it, and then hopefully get the Broadway remote access working (more on that in my next post).

WD seems to be running OK so far as I can tell at this early stage, but when exiting, I see this error message every time:

grant@INTEL-NUC7i3BNH:~/wdisplay$ sudo ./weatherdisplay
3.0 Mesa 17.0.7
Exception EAccessViolation in module weatherdisplay at 0000000000B249FE.
Access violation at address 0000000000B249FE, accessing address 0000000000000018.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This would seem to be a serious problem, so I’d like to know what to do about it before proceeding further.

you mean exit via save and exit?
are you running it as sudo? (needs to be so that it can save to the ini files)

I am getting very similar error messages to Brian, except I don’t have a ‘Segmentation Fault’ at the end. Complete error message window attached.

Also, when invoking the first Broadway command, I see the following:

grant@INTEL-NUC7i3BNH:~/wdisplay$ sudo GDK_BACKEND=broadway
usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -V
usage: sudo -v [-AknS] [-g group] [-h host] [-p prompt] [-u user]

prompt] [-u user] [VAR=value] [-i|-s] []
usage: sudo -e [-AknS] [-r role] [-t type] [-C num] [-g group] [-h host] [-p
prompt] [-u user] file …

It looks to me as though the command wasn’t executed, however the next command works OK:

rant@INTEL-NUC7i3BNH:~/wdisplay$ sudo broadwayd :5
[sudo] password for grant:
Listening on /home/grant/.cache/broadway6.socket

Needless to say, attempting to open a browser window at [b]http://127.0.0.1:8085/[/b] (on my Windows PC) doesn’t work.
Is that what I am supposed to do when attempting to view WD for Linux from a different device on my LAN?

It would be great to get this working. Thanks Brian for any help you can offer.
