Strange screen resolution and crash on macOS Big Sur #3

Closed oryxcam closed 1 year ago

oryxcam commented 3 years ago

Installed, and re-installed radioconda via command line using https://glare.now.sh/ryanvolz/radioconda/radioconda-.*-MacOSX-x86_64.sh. GnuRadio opens but in a very small scale (1/4 of screen) and then crashes as soon as I try to access the gnuradio menu.

Prompt when starting gnuradio is:

(gnuradio-companion:8991): Gtk-WARNING **: 00:15:35.492: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. No such schema ?org.gnome.desktop.interface?

Thank you

Daniel

I think I've heard of this being a problem for GNU Radio itself (not just radioconda) with retina displays on macOS (hence the 1/4 screen, it doesn't get scaled properly for the high resolution). Searching the GNU Radio github though, I don't see it as an existing issue, so I probably just heard it through the grapevine. I'm going to suggest posting this issue over there to spur upstream to try to fix it.

I am also seeing this using radioconda. Homebrew doesn't have this issue.

That's a useful data point, thanks! Homebrew doesn't appear to have any extra patches for GNU Radio, so I'm wondering what the difference is. Probably something lower in the gtk3 graphics stack. I'll do some more digging.

@warnes Can you tell me what version of pygobject and gobject-introspection the working Homebrew build uses?

I forgot to mention: I'm seeing the resolution issue, not the segfault.

@warnes Check out my proposed fix in https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/pull/4814#issuecomment-925190019.

ryanvolz commented 3 years ago

I have patched packages ready to go here and here. If I can get confirmation that the change in https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/pull/4814#issuecomment-925190019 works, then I'll merge those PRs and make a new radioconda release to fix this.

https://github.com/conda-forge/gnuradio-feedstock/pull/85/files worked as a fix for me in conda. I just had to reinstall gnuradio 3.8 using conda. Thanks for the fix, @ryanvolz!

fah commented 2 years ago

@ryanvolz I manually applied your patch to a pure brew installation of gnuradio 3.9.3.0 , which originally caused the resolution problem. Now it works perfectly. Many thanks!

ryanvolz commented 2 years ago

Crash possibly fixed by this update to cairo?

ryanvolz commented 1 year ago

Any chance https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/pull/6352 fixes this? That's a python-only fix, so you can manually edit the appropriate installed python files to test it.

ryanvolz commented 1 year ago

Closing until I hear that this is still an issue.
