OpenCPN Version 5.7.1 Beta Test #4

LoL...
"I do hope KDE/Plasma will be supported"
The management of Top-Level-Windows is done automatically by wxWidgets, interacting with the system DisplayManager (in your case Plasma). There is very little that can be done at app-level (i.e. OCPN source code) to change this. So I would not expect much change in this behavior on O58 release.
Aside: I run an older version of KDE and Plasma daily, without problems. Just sayin...

Sorry

I just compiled tag 5.6.2 on the same system, and at first I thought it doesn't not show the issue with the MUI button bar, but eventually it did.

Since bookworm is soon the next Debian stable, I would like to help get that right...

Are you able to build from source for linux?
I would like to test a patch on your config.
Thanks

I used to. I will check my build env.

Go ahead.

Just built O from git master.
It seems to have no problem. At least with anchor alarm.
Not enough traffic now to test ais.

Testing continues...

The persistent AIS information is fixed. Thank you.

This may be insignificant, but I noticed that when I was replaying candump log files can0 to vcan0, if I went into settings and hit Apply the data stream would stop after a few seconds. The fix would be to deselect vcan0, reselect vcan0 and then OK. I have not seen this on a regular can0 feed, only with the playback.

More to come from me. There is definitely some file leakage in the sound handlers.


Also, I found it only happens when CMake finds and uses the public library "libsndfile.so". For a local build, this will only be found if you have installed package "libsndfile1-dev". Otherwise, OCPN uses an embedded sound file loader of reduced capabilities, which does not leak file handles.



Check your CMake output on a fresh build, looking for something like:
message(STATUS "ENABLE_LIBSNDFILE is set but I cannot find libsndfile")


or, simply:
$ ldd opencpn
and see if "libsndfile.so" is loading.
If it is not, than you will probably find no leakage problem. If it is, expect leakage.



Please let me know what you find.

I do not have libsndfile1.dev
Waiting for more.

Without libsndfile, then all should be fine. No file leakage.
Do you find that is the case?

You may install libsndfile by:

$sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev

Then rebuild OCPN, and see if file leakage returns.

Without libsndfile it seemed ok
I recompiled using libsndfile1-dev
It also seems ok

I don't have an extra machine to test 5.7.1 on. Can someone confirm the following bug is fixed?

not here! I compile with libsndfile1-dev and after a few minutes having an anchor alarm going off I can see the amount of open files increasing, by ~ one per second. Dave, If you want to send me your patch, happy to test!

I just pushed a significant change to sound file management.
Please pull master now, and rebuild with libsndfile-dev enabled.
Thanks
