Attempting to use version 1.2.2 or 1.3.4-Edge (gSender_1.2.2_amd64.deb or gSender-Edge-1.3.4-EDGE-x86_64.AppImage) on either Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye) or Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and all seems fine until I attempt to open a SECOND GCODE file. At that time, a dialog box pops up near the top of the screen that says “gSender Edge “” is ready” and then all input is disabled in the App. I can quit gSender and restart, but that isn’t very useful.
Version 1.1.7 works fine, but I’d rather take advantage of newer features. These newer 1.2.2 or 1.3.4 versions work fine on my Mac, but I’d rather use my shop Linux computer.
Not sure what I might be doing wrong. Happy to provide any additional info!
One other data point to add is that if I use Remote Mode, where the file access is on the (now local) machine (Macintosh, in my case) this problem does not occur. It must have something to do with file access on the Linux host – almost as if permissions were different on the 2nd file open, or something similar.
Thanks. I can confirm I still see the same behavior in 1.4.7. I’d guess it has something to do with file permissions or file access, as if I run in remote mode, where the file access is local to the REMOTE machine, it works fine. diagnostics_6-18-2024_11-13-25.pdf (31.7 KB)
Update: When loading a second file in gsender it appears to lock up. Actually it is waiting for a file to be loaded but there is no file dialog box to load it. If you make the main screen smaller you will find the dialog box behind it. Load a file and everything works fine. No need to restart and rehome. Why the file dialog box only appears on screen for first load I do not know. Also file dialog box does not save location. Hope this helps.
I was just reading last night about someone’s frustrations with Linux on the desktop, and this was one of their comments (not in reference to gSender). I was thinking – "I wonder if that could be my issue, since I was running gSender full screen. Now, based on your note, I tested it, and you are correct! That’s what I get for running my life on a laptop with small screens. Probably a much simpler fix for Sienci to force that file dialog to open as a front-most window.
