Hello, I use Xboard 4.9.1 on the following machine:
Computer Processor Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU T3200 @ 2.00GHz Memory 2897MB (751MB used) Machine Type Notebook (Toshiba) Operating System Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS User Name viktor (Viktor) Date/Time Št 7. máj 2020, 18:15:50 CEST I encountered an error and experienced hard time to solve it because, I think, Xboard did not report an error in the beginning when it first encountered a problem. Here is the description: I wanted to start Xboard with Crafty engine so I used the command line *xboard -fcp Crafty*. After Xboard started it displayed the message: "*Starting chess program*" for 11 seconds and nothing more. Then after my first move it displayed *Fatal Error "Error writing to first chess program: Broken pipe"*. After clicking *Ok* Xboard closed. Problem was in the command line, crafty had to be written with small "c", not capital like above. After changing the command line, the message: "*Starting chess program*" appeared for less than a second and everything was OK. So I think that Xboard should display an error message after not being able to load the chess engine. Thank you! I like Xboard very much and used it also on Windows many years before. Viktor
