rssowlnix started crashing after 19.6.22

[neiaberau]

rssowlnix started crashing since 20.6 when I click on one of the entries to be displayed, on 19.6 and before it still worked. might this be related to the removal of IE by Microsoft?

there are no errors in the log file, as far as I can see, from .log:

I can still find the iexplore executable, while it complains it will be replaced it is still there, so it seems it must be something else, is there a setting I can apply get more debug output?

what windows are you using? 10? 11?

try giving it more memory? in RSSOwlnix.ini edit the line starting with -Xmx to something higher like -Xmx1024m

does it still crash with fresh database? rename the folder org.rssowl.core so it creates a new database: %userprofile%\.rssowlnix-beta\.metadata\.plugins\org.rssowl.core

[neiaberau]

I thought that was in the log, but now I see it only says win ...

• it is windows 10
• I already used -Xmx1024m, so I tried it with -Xmx2048m, this did not help

with an empty database, I selected use recomende feeds, now it does not crash but complains An error has occurred. See error log for more details. org.eclipse.ui.internal.ErrorEditorPart cannot be cast to org.rssowl.ui.internal.editors.feed.FeedView

however, after stop and restart, it no longer complains, and seems to work

so now I am confused, so it must be my database

anyway, this was from the log from the first start, which did no longer occur after a restart !ENTRY org.rssowl.ui 4 2 2022-06-27 08:09:51.074 !MESSAGE Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.rssowl.ui". !STACK 0 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.ui.internal.ErrorEditorPart cannot be cast to org.rssowl.ui.internal.editors.feed.FeedView at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.getFirstActiveFeedView(OwlUI.java:1510) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.internalOpenInFeedView(OwlUI.java:1805) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.openInFeedView(OwlUI.java:1740) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.openInFeedView(OwlUI.java:1726) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.openInFeedView(OwlUI.java:1714) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.OwlUI.openInFeedView(OwlUI.java:1703) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkExplorer$2.open(BookMarkExplorer.java:353) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkViewer$3.run(BookMarkViewer.java:224) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:45) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.JFaceUtil.lambda$0(JFaceUtil.java:47) at org.eclipse.jface.util.SafeRunnable.run(SafeRunnable.java:176) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkViewer.internalFireOpen(BookMarkViewer.java:221) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkViewer.internalHandleOpen(BookMarkViewer.java:213) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkViewer.access$1(BookMarkViewer.java:209) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.views.explorer.BookMarkViewer$2.handleOpen(BookMarkViewer.java:194) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.util.ViewerOpenStrategy.fireOpenEvent(ViewerOpenStrategy.java:147) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.util.ViewerOpenStrategy.mouseSelectItem(ViewerOpenStrategy.java:288) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.util.ViewerOpenStrategy.handleEvent(ViewerOpenStrategy.java:240) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:89) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.sendEvent(Display.java:4145) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1055) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:3958) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:3561) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine$5.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1173) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:339) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.swt.PartRenderingEngine.run(PartRenderingEngine.java:1062) at org.eclipse.e4.ui.internal.workbench.E4Workbench.createAndRunUI(E4Workbench.java:156) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.lambda$3(Workbench.java:628) at org.eclipse.core.databinding.observable.Realm.runWithDefault(Realm.java:339) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:563) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:151) at org.rssowl.ui.internal.Application.start(Application.java:122) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.app.EclipseAppHandle.run(EclipseAppHandle.java:199) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.runApplication(EclipseAppLauncher.java:137) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.internal.adaptor.EclipseAppLauncher.start(EclipseAppLauncher.java:107) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:391) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:246) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:498) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:659) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:595) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1501)

copy your C:\Users\mux\.rssowlnix-beta\*.opml files before they get overwritten.

there are backups of the database you can try. rename the core folder back then switch the current rssowl.db file with rssowl.db.onlinebak or one of the others (look at change date which ones are newer)

if all backups are corrupt you can still at least get your feed tree from the backup at C:\Users\mux\.rssowlnix-beta\*.opml. File - Import... - Import Feeds from a file - choose an opml (you can also import feeds from backup if some are missing in older backups.)

this worked, thanks
