Re: [Xastir] Xastir going down at night
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Interestingly enough when I upgraded to version 1.9.1 the problem went away. I seem to remember a similar problem when I installed Xastir on my Windoze box back in November. Not sure what the differences are between the two versions (except for 1.9.1 is developmental and the other is "stable"). 73s, Eric W4OTN Gerry Creager wrote: > cvs update (or is it svn now?) and then a make clean, configure, make, > make install.

cvs update (or is it svn now?) and then a make clean, configure, make, make install. Pretty easy. My thought of a memory or controller issue is a device failure.

Eric, If I start dipping into swap I tend to get more RAM. You're already well outfitted with 4GB physical memory. You'd said that you're running the firenet scripts and Xastir. That shouldn't be an exhaustive load. However, if you dip into swap, you're memory-bound, almost certainly.

But I knew that more information would be required. I recently have encountered some problems with a lockup. I have confirmed that it happens 100% of the time with my serial interface enabled and 0% of the time with it disabled. It has been suggested that my problem is the adapter I use to go from serial to USB. Obviously that isn't your problem, but I thought I'd ask. I think I've also heard some reports of problems caused by problem packets. You could try leaving your system on again and see if it happens again or if it was completely random and non-repeatable. Also, are other programs running which might be conflicting? You might also turn on logging to see if you can capture anything which might be a hint. But beware, logging can sometimes create very large files if left alone for a long time. 73, --de Chip (N1MIE) FN41bn ___ Xastir mailing list Xastir@xastir.org http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir

Re: [Xastir] Xastir going down at night
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Chip, My setup is as follows: Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz HHD: 500GB RAM: 4GB Motherboard: ASUS M2N32-SLI I'm running Fedora 7 with the 2.6.22.1-27.fc7 kernel. I'm currently not connected to a TNC (gotta get a longer serial cable) so all my data is coming off the IS. I'm setup to have 8GB of swap and I've only gotten that far when running John the Ripper. Otherwise I've never seen utilization over 2.5GB. Per Curt's request I will check for mem spillage as that could be a problem. 73s, Eric W4OTN Chip G. wrote: > Yes.

Curt,
I'll give it a shot but I doubt it is a memory-hardware issue. Please
see my response to Chip's e-mail.
I will keep a check using "top" and see what is going on.
73s,
Eric W4OTN

Re: [Xastir] Xastir going down at night
Yes. Can you tell us more about your setup? What OS are you using (and version)? What version of Xastir are you using? What interfaces do you have configured? Are you using a serial (TNC) connection? If so, how is the TNC connected to the computer?

Perhaps a flaky memory stick or you're running out of memory and
getting into swap?
You might try running "top" sorted by memory usage ("M") and check
it in the morning to see how much swap you're using, how much free
memory you have, and how much memory Xastir is using.
Xastir is checked periodically for memory leaks. It definitely
grows a bit over time but I've had it running for 100's of days with
no issues other than that slow growth.
