Whoa, a Linux question? Excellent. Looks the HarfBuzz shared libraries got updated (probably along with your window manager of choice) and the kx3util needs to be rebuilt (relinked? Not certain of the proper dev-speak here) to reference the newer libraries. (Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir.)
See if you can get the core file to drop (you may need to do a "ulimit -c unlimited" to ensure you get one) and analyze it with gdb for more information. I wonder if you can do a workaround and keep the libharfbuzz library files that kx3util is looking for installed (maybe in /usr/local or somewhere else handy?) I'd test this myself, but I confess I gave up tilting at the windmills years ago and use Win 10 for ham radio applications. I do keep my Linux boxes around for network and vulnerability management. Right tool for the job, and all that. --- Chuck Milam, N9KY [email protected] On Wed, Mar 7, 2018 at 7:06 AM, Robert Felmey <[email protected]> wrote: > Looking in dmesg, I found this: > > [ 3817.471455] traps: kx3util[7873] general protection ip:f6771298 > sp:ffb24f08 error:0 in libharfbuzz.so.0.10705.0[f6742000+ae000] > > On Tue, Mar 6, 2018 at 7:42 PM, Robert Felmey <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > Seems like there is a problem with the KX3 Utility running with the newer > > linux kernels...
