Re: Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10

Hello Len,

Thank you for responding to my question.

I hope I am a little better than an average computer user, but I have a
very long way to go before qualifying to be a geek. Could you explain
what it means to have an open socket in the program?

I am a mere teacher, and my program is a simple app to keep students
record according to their class. All data is saved locally inside data
stacks. There is no network connection or connection to external
database. Before quitting, all open stacks are closed.

My program works (i.e. quits cleanly) on other computers running Xubuntu
9.10, Mac OS X or Windows. The anomaly occurs only on my laptop running
Xubuntu 9.10. I would think that my coding in Revolution must be ok, but
something is not right on my laptop, on which my app fails to quit
cleanly. However, oddly, on the same laptop, another app I made quits
cleanly.

Can you suggest what I should change on my laptop?

Rev standalone app stays in memory on my Xubuntu 9.10

[hmspotato]

Hello,

I have a standalone application made by Revolution 4.0. It works fine in
most cases, but it fails to quit cleanly on my laptop running Xubuntu
9.10. When I try it on another computer also running Xubuntu 9.10, it
runs and quits fine, but on my laptop it stays open as a process taking
up a chunk of memory. To make it worse, every instance of app launch
remains in the memory as an independent process. Right-clicking on the
process in System Monitor and choosing 'Open Files' displays the following:
FD  Type Object
0   file /dev/null
1   file /home/megumi/.xsession-errors
2   file /home/megumi/.xsession-errors
3   local socket
4   local socket
5   pipe
6   pipe


This question is probably more about Xubuntu than about Revolution, but
it does relate to using Revolution. I am particularly puzzled, because
another standalone app (also made by Revolution) runs and quits fine on
the same laptop. I hope someone here will be able to help me, as I do
not know what to do.

I originally posted this at  with a sample stack, but the thread came to
what seems like a dead-end. The last post on the thread suggested that I
should subscribe to this list and ask for help from Linux experts on the list.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.
