Scidb / Bugs / #147 Styles - ticking color or coordinates gives error

r1239

I'm not able to select theme anymore. Every other restart theme selection is not active in the menu, every other restart it gives an error. I did not reinstall yet.

Many of your problems are local Tcl/Tk problems, I have the impression that you have an unsound Tcl/Tk installation. Please open the dialog in "Main Menu->About Scidb...", choose tab "System", and copy the content to this report.

I tried to reinstall everything, but r1248 didn't compile. Forgot to check "system" before.

I ran tests after installing Tcl/Tk as usally. Tcl didn't give errors, but Tk gave a couple as always. I wonder if it is due to mismatch with compiz window manager?

I have reinstalled everything from scratch a few times because of errors that appear after scidb freezes/crashes. I don't know if they are related. There have been sed errors with etc/default/keyboardXXXXXX file when logging out, sometimes keyboard is not setup correctly after these in boot. These problems disappear after discarding the knoppix overlay file and starting afresh.

I don't have other programs freezing/crashing than scidb.

From the tk documentation I got the impression that tk test errors are expected, probably not serious.

No, the test suite shouldn't give errors. Can you attach a log file of your test.

I don't have other programs freezing/crashing than scidb.

Probably because of the Tk library. This library is very powerful, but infortunately not very popular, so it is a bit more sensitive than other toolkits, because not as well tested with different systems than other ones.

I cannot reproduce your problem. Please do the following before starting the application:

cd ~ rm -rf .scidb-beta

Instead of reinstalling normally starting the application with "scidb-beta --first-time" is also resetting to primary state.

r 1282

I still get errors when starting with scidb-beta --first-time or removing .scidb-beta. Some new ones, too. I have a quite old laptop, too slow for many brands of linux, but knoppix is fine in general. Is it possible it's not up to demands of Tcl/Tk in performance? I have noticed computer display freeze for too long periods - window opening or closing may take many many seconds. Highlighting a file and trying to delete it asks a confirmatory question, but for a different file name. Can this be caused by installment of Tcl/Tk? Does installing Tcl/tk add running processes to the system when scidb is not in use?

In Tcl Wikipedia it is said: "Safe-Tcl is a subset of Tcl that has restricted features so that Tcl scripts cannot harm their hosting machine or application."

If wonder if there is anyone else who wants to use scidb on an old laptop? If not, I should probably quit this testing.

I can select themes, boards, and sets without any errors, only ticking on "colors" produces the errors. I can select there square patterns and they seem to work, but clearing them again with the eraser produces the errors.

I think that the performance problems are related to the general problems with Tcl/Tk under Knoppix, or you are working with a VM, VM's are slowing down the system enormously. I don't think that your older hardware is the problem, I'm working with a Laptop from year 2010. Is it possible for you to use an alternative distribution, ArchLinux for instance, or is it required to use a Live-distro? For any reason Knoppix has severe compatibility problems with Tk library, I don't have an explanation for this, but I have the impression that Knoppix has only a restricted support of graphical features. One example: I can see from your log that Knoppix does not seem to support freetype2 (TrueType font rendering).

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I don't use VMs now. I can try another Linux, thanks for the advice.

Maybe it is not useful anymore to report the error messages I get, but I noticed that when I have unsaved games I get a different error message (when selecting board options /select them)

If there are no unsaved games, but a game history listing (twice the same error message):

unknown option "-state"
    while executing
"$w.__hist__ $command {*}$args"
    (procedure "::game::history::WidgetProc" line 29)
    invoked from within
"::game::history::WidgetProc .application.nb.board.top.right.pgn.top.main.hist $command {*}$args"
    (procedure ".application.nb.board.top.right.pgn.top.main.hist" line 1)
    invoked from within
"$w cget -state"

If unsaved games exist (twice the same message):

    while executing
"extendColorName $colors(user,coordinates)"
    (procedure "makeBasicFrame" line 77)

Maybe this is unrelated:

board options - theme
tick colors
change background and border to wood patterns
hover mouse on buttons

tooltip shows for border "Solid Color: #999999 (Gray 60)
even though border is wood01.jpg
