Segmentation fault when runnig vaporGUI
Hello, I have a problem concerning starting the vaporGUI on my Linux device. Normally, I can start it without problems but one time I got a Segmentation fault and until now I could not run it again. Here is the output of the gdb: #0 0x000000000060bae6 in VAPoR::UserPreferences::elementEndHandler(VAPoR::ExpatParseMgr*, int, std::string&) () No symbol table info available. #1 0x00007ffff699d48f in VAPoR::ExpatParseMgr::_endElementHandler(char const*) () from /user/VAPOR//vapor-2.5.0.RC0/lib/libvdf.so.2.5.0 No symbol table info available. #2 0x00000034b8c0a836 in ??

It looks like you crashed on startup, reading your user preferences.  Would you please send us your user preferences file?  It's name is ".vapor_prefs" and it is probably in your home directory.  Send it to vapor@ucar.edu.

Thanks,

Alan

Incidentally, you should be able to get vapor 2.5.0 running again if you delete that preferences file before launching vaporgui.

Hi all, I got the same error but I don't know how to find the ".vapor_prefs" file. Could you please help me with this. Thanks, Ali

I've got a user seeing something similar. Running an iMac, and operating under XQuartz, he sourced the setup file OK, but then running vaporgui resulted in the following: libGL error: No matching fbConfigs or visuals found libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast [xcb] Unknown sequence number while processing queue [xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called [xcb] Aborting, sorry about that. vaporgui: xcb_io.c:259: poll_for_event: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_threads_sequence_lost' failed.
