Interface disappears


Hi,

I just installed the project (0.8.12) but whenever I open the UI, it just disappears right away. Is there any known reason for this or am I the only one that has reported this so far?

Thanks

You are the first. This happens at Windows Vista SP2?

Could you copy-paste the log of the interface here? It's in C:/Users/username/.deimos-ui

Have you tried restarting the interface?

I had restarted the UI multiple times on Vista Business 32bit SP2. Good news, however. After putting my computer to sleep for the night, it seems to be working fine. Perhaps I had just needed to restart or something. The log has nothing remarkable.

I will update if I have any more problems! Cool project!

I will look out for more of these issues.

For the record, did the interface-application itself disappear (crash) or only the dashboard-window?

Just got back from work and it appears the problem is back. The whole interface dies, not just the window. If I don't open up the window it will stay in the system tray and I can right click and commit my data fine.

This is all my logs say.

Wrong logfile :) Could you post the one of C:/Users/username/.deimos-ui (not deimos-desktop-helper)

But it indicates a crash when the entire interface disappears. Does it only happen when opening the dashboard-window or also when simply left alone running?

My first results indicate no problem at Vista SP1. I'll try installing SP2. The application has been tested quite extensive in Windows XP and Windows 7 so this seems a Vista problem.

Only seems to happen when opening the dashboard.

The second part of that log is the one from C:Usersusername.deimos-ui which now says the same, but different timestamp:

[24-07-2009 17:18:00] Connecting with host localhost:39690...
[24-07-2009 17:18:01] Got connection with service!

It only logs something whenever I restart the UI, not when it crashes. :p

I have noticed the ui disappearing one time or another... I don't even open the ui, I just pass the mouse over the system icon and it disappears, as if it was already closed but windows didn't clear it yet.

In my user folder I found the ".deimos-ui" folder with a couple of log files and found this:

[28-07-2009 20:11:41] Connecting with host localhost:39690...
[28-07-2009 20:11:41] Got connection with service!
[29-07-2009 06:06:09] Received unknown network-command 26625 from service

Very odd. It seems like a Windows Vista only crash. I am looking into this

I've spotted something similar. On 0.8.13 if you right click on the taskbar icon then the dashboard, commit and go to Website options aren't visible. In fact the box just doesn't open up properly. I've seen this on a couple of machines. If you close down the icon then restart Deimos then it works O.K again.
