I would like to thank again Josh for the wonderfull job on GRC:
I am now using it regularly for my classroom demonstrations on
analog/digital communications.
I have noticed (it has been more than 6 months since the last time I
used it) that 0.69 version crashes a lot with my fedora 7 (64 bit).
In fact, 8 out of 10 times that I stop a running graph (usually with 4-5
graphical sinks running) either by closing the graph window or by
pressing the “stop” button on the graphical editor of GRC, it closes the
entire GRC editor…
Can someone confirm this behavior?
Thanks
Achilleas
PS: I have to add one more item on my wish list for 0.70 
In the “open file” and “save file” dialog boxes, make “open” and “save”
the default action when pressing “enter”, so you wont have to press the
button with the mouse…
Frank B. used GRC for our SDR class design lab. It was a success.
I cannot comment on the crash.

G’day,
I can confirm your observation. This is exactly my experience here too.
I’m
running NetBSD-i386-current 4.99.42.

The error seems to come from gtk.main and not from the GRC source
itself. Perhaps this is the result of a race condition (in grc) between
the the main thread and the thread waiting on the flow graph to finish.
->By clicking the kill button, the waiting thread finishes by calling
the very same method that handles the “kill button” press. Perhaps in
all the ruckus, some gtk functions get called by 2 threads at once, and
eventually gtk gets upset and dies/crashes…
I committed a fix for this in the GRC trunk. Can somebody with this
issue try out the trunk fix and let me know?

I’ve seen this exact same behavior for some time. I’m currently
running the latest GnuRadio release and GRC 0.69 on Mac OSX 10.4.11

G’day,
Still crashes here with the following error messages:
No module named serial in RS232 Source! -> continuing…
No module named serial in RS232 Sink! -> continuing…
Removing empty category “Custom”…
Verbose:
Traceback (most recent call last):

The program ‘Editor.py’ received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was ‘BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length
erro’.
(Details: serial 10975 error_code 16 request_code 151 minor_code 23)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)
