Re: [wsjt-devel] wsjt-x Program hung and not responding
The issue is not that the program threw an error code. Of course it should throw an error. The issue is that it didn't exit cleanly and was hung and unresponsive on the computer at least 15 minutes later when I used force quit to blow it away. 73 Bill AE6JV On 5/3/21 at 6:45 AM, n2...@windstream.net (James Shaver (N2ADV)) wrote: To put Gary’s response another way: Imagine you’re taking to someone standing on front of you and, mid-conversation, the person to whom you’re speaking suddenly disappears without a trace.

[wsjt-devel] wsjt-x Program hung and not responding
wsjt-x hung -- not responding I had been operating FT8 on 15M and 40M. I powered down my K3 (upgraded with the internal sound card) and got the "Rig Control Error" message. I think I clicked "Cancel", closed the lid on my MacBook Pro and took the computer back to my apartment. When I got there, wsjt-x was still running but not responding. I used "Force quit" to blow it away and saved the crash report from the Apple crash reporter. wsjt-x 2.3.1 MacOS 10.14.6 Since the crash report is huge (27500+ lines) I won't send it to the list unless someone says I should. :-) 73 Bill AE6JV --- Bill Frantz| When all else fails: | Periwinkle (408)348-7900 | Voice and CW. | 150 Rivermead Rd #235 www.pwpconsult.com | | Peterborough, NH 03458 ___ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
