Segmentation fault

Well, I tried in /home/user/Documents/wdisplay and in /home/user/wdisplay with no result

Someone said to me that Linux was less problematic than Windows… just to configure or doing anything I have to google the problem because there’s often a problem … #-o

Bad Luck

Thanks anyway

what I can do is add some debug code to try and narrow down where the problem is

question
how much memory on the linux pc?

8 GB RAM

Ok. Ask me for whatever you need

you could try this version as a test
http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/weatherdisplaytest.tar.gz
extract to where you have WD installed already

Copy & Paste the file in WD folder. Same result but it stops loading when Loading energy is in the startup progress bar.

Is it made a log in any place ?

ok, so that means the actual error is occuring on the final running and the loading of the last module was a red herring

question:
where you are running the program from?
i am thinking it might be some permissions problem

I think so but… I’ve installed folder in /home/wdisplay (proprietary as root), /home/user/Documents/wdisplay (as user) and in /home/user/wdisplay (as root). Permissions are set to 755. Same result in those three locations.

Location /home/jmviper/wdisplay (root proprietary, 755 permissions)

WD linux will try to create a folder and create the ini settings files in
/[home]/Documents/wdisplay/

No way… I tried in /home/Documents/wdisplay, /home/user/Documents/wdisplay… I have Debian OS in Spanish so folder Documents is Documentos but with no result.

If you want to have a look I can give you my IP and do a port forwarding to port 22 for you to login by ssh to the system. Debian is with xfce so you can easily get in with Bitvise for example

thanks anyway

I suggest you try Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. That is working fine for me with the 9th February build and WD runs happily with the default Unity desktop.

I also have a VNC server installed which uses the XFCE desktop. WD crashes if I try to change any settings under XFCE, but Brian has written a WD Client which allows remote viewing of the main screen using XFCE.

No way... I tried in /home/Documents/wdisplay,
I did mean for you to run it from there you can install and run it from any where but that is where WD tries to save its data and settings files what shows in the file location.txt

That’s the clue… it contains /root/Documents/wdisplay/ and I’ve changed that path but when WD starts it changed to the default path again so I’ve created /root/Documents/wdisplay directory and it worked

Thanks for the help and I hope this will help another newbie in Linux like me :wink:

Thank you for your suggestion but it was sounding strange to me that WD was not working neither latest Ubuntu 17.10 nor Debian 9 Stretch. Finally it was a location issue with ini files.

Greetings from Spain

Hi
I had the same problem but found that if you just double clicked the ‘weatherdisplay’ icon it starts OK.
I had it running an old ws2307 that only gave me indoor and outdoor temps and humidity.
hope this helps

Hi
BTW I am running Debian 9 at the moment and have just loaded WH1080 on it and is OK …looks like it wont run as root, a good idea?

as long as the /home/Documents/wdisplay/
folder and the settings files have the right privaledges it should be OK

just checked and it seems OK

That’s what I found out today …

Mint19.1 seems to have a problem with symlinks … I had to restart rigel last night only to find out after work today that Weatherdisplay wasn’t working anymore, because the symlink to Dokumente/wdisplay was gone.
