Greetings all; As you know, I do a lot of gcode writing on my machines that occasionally needs to restart linuxcnc, but if I've left it running from its own console, and I'm here in the house in the middle of the night, and I want to see what my cde looks like in the backplot, that means LCNC has to send itself a killall. That usually works but because it doesn't wait long enough, the restart fails, so you have to up=arrow and run it again to actually start the new session. Thats expected.
But for the last day, the window here, or there, has been stuck in a loop reporting an invalid status buffer at about 100 lines a second. I can kill that login and start a new one, looking it over with htop without noting anything out of place, but the machine isn't responding quite as snappy as before unless I reboot it. And I just updated linuxcnc from master after this reboot, the version it was running was maybe 1.5 days old. With two logins, I'm going to repeat this "start a new session of linuxcnc and see if it repeats this strange behaviour, and hopfully capture the error message. Started it from one ssh login, then went to the other and started another session. Fails of course. Repeat from 2nd login and this time it worked w/o flooding the first login with the error message about an invalid status buffer. But now, with the newer linuxcnc I just updated to, no error is logged to the screen being shut down, AND the restart on the alternate login is successful w/o the 2nd start needing to be issued. And I have bounced back and forth 4 times now, successfully each time. Is there that big a difference between its own konsole and an ssh -Y login? Or has this loooonnnnggstanding bug (what, 10 years now?,) actually been fixed? New version is LINUXCNC - 2.8.0-pre1-4575-g59380be In which case a hearty thank you is now sent! Here I was going to submit a bug report, but now I can't, thank you very much guy's. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
