OpenCPN 5.6.0: Dashboard Plugin crashes OpenCPN

On a Raspberry Pi 4B (2GB RAM) I had irregular stops of OpenCPN. It occurred that the program got irresponsive and the CPU consumption got stuck around 25%. It doesn't help to wait - I tried that for hours, but OpenCPN won't come back.
Over severall days de- and re-activating plugins I figured out now that the Dashboard Plugin is causing this. OpenCPN has been running flawlessly for several days. Half an hour ago I activated the Dashbaord plugin, and after a couple of minutes OpenCPN stoppped working again (irresponsive), with CPU consumption at 25%.
Attached the log file (as .doc to circumvent the 1,000 bytes limitation for txt files). Any suggestion would be helpful.

I am not familiar with RPI, but I notice you tried to run Dashboard and Dashboard-Tactics. Do not try to run them at the same time! Dashboard-Tactics provides many of the same instruments. Also close one and the then try opening the other, they must be run exclusively.

Actuall I didn't run DashboardTactics. This plugin is not even installed. I see the log entries "MESSAGE PluginHandler.cpp:159 Plugin: setting up, name: DashboardTactics" in the log file, but I didn't use this plugin.

Not talking about that enormous logfile which OpenCPN produces here without any reason but it is seen also by a blind person that DashboardTactics was not loaded:
Quote:
10:19:10.291 MESSAGE PluginHandler.cpp:159 Plugin: setting up, name: DashboardTactics

10:19:10.291 MESSAGE PluginHandler.cpp:160 Plugin: init: abi: darwin-wx315, abi_version: 11.4, major ver: 11

10:19:10.292 MESSAGE PluginHandler.cpp:318 Returning fail for ubuntu-gtk3-armhf
Don't know why people gave such false hints as above was done.

It is known that rpi is very sensitive to power and voltage variation. Your power converter must be very robust, also voltage drops due to low batts, ap, etc.

You must have tried dash-t or the message would not be there. Not a problem.
