Pychess freezes on Ubuntu with Unity #822

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi!

First: I love pychess because I like the design and the playful but functional 
style. But I encounter some problems since update to Beta.
Pychess freezes and crasdhes regularly on various occasions,since I upgraded 
from the stable version to the Pychess 0.12beta4-1. I use it on Ubuntu 13.10.

 Playing ffline and playing online on FICS freezes Pychess, if:
'Giving up' freezes pychess.
'Saving' freezes pychess.
'Enable undo'freezes pychess.
'Offer Remis' freezes Pychess
'Break' freezes Pychess
Pychess crashes frequently after starting FICS; many times in between a game or 
while doing a move.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. 'enable undo'
2. 'give up'
3. 'Save' or 'save to file'
4. Opponent 'Give up'
5. Crash unpredictable.
6. Ask for a 'Break'
7. Offer 'Remis' (Literally all functions of the actions segment)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I would expect that pychess is doing what it is told instead of a freeze. I 
have to force quit and close instead.

Does it happen every time?

Freeze yes. Crash frequently.

What version of the product are you using?

Pychess 0.12beta4-1

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?

I used the recent deb and updated the archive as described in another post to 
make sure I got all the bugfixes.

Please provide any additional information below.

Please attach the latest pychess logfile. It's in a hidden folder, under
your homedirectory, named ".local/share/pychess/"

Just to test PyChess no need to install the latest Gnome3 from any ppa. Use the 
official Ubuntu repo and install what it offers. I really don't want to mess up 
your setup with any third party packages.

Hi gbtami,

you did not mess up anything, I did :-) I thought that is the safer way 
after googeling a bit...

But the good point is, after installing 13.10 from scratch besides the 
existing one with obviously a gnome desktop, it works like a charm just 
as the standard Pychess from repository - and I learned something about 
messing and will clean up my system with the New Year.

Have a great New Year!

Hi Mattgatto and Gbtami, this is my final report on this. I reinstalled my 
system Ubuntu 13.10 from scratch and deleted the old ones. It's as shipped with 
Unity desktop.
Now as well pychess from Ubuntu repository as well as the latest source of 
Pychess create no crashes so far, all commands, chat and so on work fine.
I won't test with Gnome and Xfce again as they obviously have no love affair 
with Unity ;-)
But maybe you'd need some translation work done to German? Let me know.

Besides that: thank you for creating such a lovely chess program for Linux, 
it's a pleasure using it, and thanks for all the suport around with the 
pre-compiled engines and so on. I will use Scid as well now, as I am getting 
more professional ;-) and it offers more in detail functions for analyzing 
games and so on.
But for playing on FICS and against engines it is not my choice at all, too 
comnplicated and too slow in picking games for example, and I like the easy use 
and the design of Pychess much better. 
What I miss is the possibilty to put a certain position of a game on the board 
for training purposes - for instance just the 22nd move of the game Kasparov 
versus Doodlihoo and to use the engine to study possible best moves just from 
there. It would be great to have this implemented. 
So thanks again for your support and happy new year!
Peer

Unfortunately we have no "setup board" menu implemented yet. But if you have a 
.pgn file containing the game, you can load it from any starting position using 
Open Game dialog using its move control buttons next to the table and setting 
both players as Human. Then with hint/spy engine analyzers you can analyze the 
played position, and can do any moves _not_ played too.
