GO freezing issues

[obw-go]

When out of the blue the Panic button is pushed or the Panic option is choosen from the menu, GO freezes.

When I changed the language to Dutch, quit GO and start GO again and try to change language to English, Go freezes.

Hi @obw-go, could you provide more information?

On which environnement you are (win, linux, Mac), which version of GO you are using.

Thanks

@rousseldenis I get this freezing with the present build I use for my work on the Dutch translations of the nl.po files. Environment: Ubuntu 20.4.6 under VirtualBox under Windows 10 on a 64bits PC. After building and installing the package grandorgue_3.14.3-0_localamd64.deb and running GO this freezing occurs with the two examples given.

Just FYI, for local development there's more or less no point in creating the package and/or installing GO (that's done to facilitate easy distribution). You can equally well just run the compiled binary from the /bin directory and skip all the extra steps.

@larspalo Thx for the hint - this saves me time!

This issue looks like one was fixed with https://github.com/GrandOrgue/grandorgue/commit/faa554bc7202cd323970243fe8f1ee0ea4b05b7a.

@obw-go Could you try to disable sample set caching and to delete the existing cache files. Will GO still hang?

If no then the right way to fix it is to update your source tree with the latest one from github and to rebuild GrandOrgue.

I looked into the bin directory, but did not find a program icon to start GO...:

Ah - I see in the first screencast of GOODF howto start GO in the terminal with ./GOODF..., so it seems that also a file without extension can by started the same way as a .sh file.... works also for GrandOrgue...

I removed the Cache (using the menu-option), and after that went to the Settings menu-option and disabled the option Automatic Cache Management (or something like this - I see the Dutch text now)... After clicking OK the program freezes again.

Do you know which git commando I have to use in order to refresh the source stuff on my local computer?

You have to start GrandOrgue again for using these new settings. Please check that the cache file does not exist. Does GO hang?

git pull

or

git fetch ; git merge origin/master

I first removed the files from the Cache directory by hand before starting GO. In the Cache directory I can see again two files related to the demo organ popping up. When I do the checks (pushing Panic button, change language option in the Settings), the program no longer freezes.... So it seems that the freezing is related to something in the cache file(s)...

[obw-go]

git fetch ; git merge origin/master

After this command I got the screenmessage:

So it seems nothing in the source needed to be refreshed?

Update your GO codebase to peak the fix https://github.com/GrandOrgue/grandorgue/commit/faa554bc7202cd323970243fe8f1ee0ea4b05b7a and rebuild GrandOrgue. Then enable the cache again. Does GO freese?

Update your GO codebase to peak the fix faa554b

Sorry Oleg - this "codebase to peak the fix" is Chinese for me!

[oleg68]

@obw-go what is your current git branch?

git branch

[obw-go]

@oleg68

@obw-go what is your current git branch?

git branch

And installation did take considerable time and space... And still "git branch" not working. So I want to remove again what was installed and takes useless space now... Do you know how I can do that?

Ah, with some googeling I find the command purge that can be used and this seemed to do the job... And it was my own fault: misspelling branche for branch.... pffffft

[obw-go]

@oleg68

what is your current git branch?

• master

[oleg68]

@obw-go Then git pull should help you.

[obw-go]

@oleg68 Thx! This worked - I saw some updating of some files done...

[oleg68]

Does the freesing still occur with the new code and the cache enabled?

[obw-go]

@oleg68

Hi Oleg, Also after git pull and making a new build, having active the next cache settings:

GO freezes again, when I change the Language from Dutch to Default English and click on OK.

[obw-go]

@oleg68 Also after updating my local system with the last Release files, the freezing persists when I change an option in the Settings and click on OK. After that I have to choose for "Force Quit" every time...

[oleg68]

@obw-go Could you post the screenshot of Settings->Audio tab here?

[obw-go]

@oleg68 Hi Oleg,

Here it is:

[oleg68]

@obw-go Does the issue still exist with the last GrandOrgue version?

[obw-go]

@oleg68 Yes - it still happens with the last version as well.

[oleg68]

@obw-go because I cannot reproduce this issue, could you export your u20 virtual machine to an .ova file and put in somewhere (ex. Google Drive)? Don't forget to change your password in the virtual machine before the export.
