Dear all,
Recently I have switched to UBUNTU 20.04 LTS. After installation of the most recent version of FLAIR, whenever I click on the geometry tab, I get segmentation fault. I have used the 20.04 debian version of FLAIR for installation. Rest of the tabs seems to be running, as I could run the file, post process it and even plot the results. I have removed and reinstalled the same. But the problem remains.
Thanks for your kind help in this regard.
Hi @sujoy
does it create a core file?
If yes open the core with the debugger and like
$ gdb /usr/bin/python3 core
and issue the command
bt
to see where it fails.
If you don’t have a coredump maybe you can try the command
ulimit -c unlimited
before launching flair to generate it
Dear Vasilis,
Thank you for the reply. No core dump file was generated. But I could locate a python crash report. As the file is huge, I am sending you first few lines towards the beginning and end of the file.

Unfortunately I cannot understand from this file the cause.
You could try the following
- start flair
- find the process number (PID) with the command
ps ax | grep flair.py - run the debugger with that process
gdb /usr/bin/python PID - enter c in the debugger to continue running
- click on the geometry editor tab in flair, and when it crashes the debugger should show the problematic line
- You can issue a command bt in the debugger to show the backtrace (stack of calls)
Dear Vasilis,
The following I get on the prompt after issuing the commands which you have sent.

Thanks @sujoy
also that didn’t provide much information.
I would suggest if you could download the .tgz packages of both flair and geoviewer and make a local installation, compiling yourself the geoviewer code with DEBUG information enabled so maybe we can get something more.
The instructions are written on the download page of flair on how to compile manually.
Thanks Vasilis,
I did the same. I have downloaded the .tgz file. Installation was smooth. But while running, I am getting the same error. Should I do the compilation again of flair-geoviewer with DEBUG information enabled. How do I do it ?
I have put make** and ** make install command for compiling the flair-geoviewer.
To enable debug information for geoviewer do the following
make -B -j 8 DEBUG=yes
followed by
make install
Dear Vailis,
Today I have again tried the deb version. I could get the most recent trace back of the fault.

Pl let me know if it helps. If not, I will again try the .tgz installation with the commands given by you.
With regards,
Sujoy Chatterjee
Hi Sujoy,
this traceback is something different from the coredump you have. Please try with my instructions
Dear @vasilis
I have done the compilation with your instructions. The installation was smooth, although the problem persists. Pl let me know which file is required and its location for debugging purpose.
With Regards,
Sujoy Chatterjee
Did it generate any file named core?
If yes then you can open it with the gdb as I mentioned before
gdb /usr/bin/python core
and give the command bt
to show the location of the problem
Dear @vasilis,
This time also, no core file was generated, although flair stopped with Segmentation fault (core dumped). I have followed all the commands you have written earlier while compiling. I do not know how to proceed further.
With regards,
Sujoy Chatterjee
Dear Vasilis and Sujoy,
I could reproduce the problem (on the RP cluster). I only appears if a 3D panel is open on the screen.
Attached you find the text file with the gbd output. No core dump file in the given directory (somewhere else?) is produced although the program quits with
[froeschl@pcscrpd3 SHiP_mu] /cluster/temp/Software/FLAIR/default_cluster_flair/flair: line 14: 7782 Segmentation fault (core dumped) {PYTHON} -O -W ignore {DIR}/flair.py "@"
Cheers,
Robert
geoviewer_debug.txt (32.5 KB)
@froeschl the problem you have is with the implementation of std::async functionality, I believe linked with the g++ version.
You can try to disable it by compiling with the option SLOWAA=yes as
make clean; make SLOWAA=yes
I don’t know if it is related with the problem of @sujoy
Dear @vasilis
I changed my OS to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Unfortunately I am getting same error with geoviewer tab. With debugger , I recently got the following lines. I do not know, whether they are pointing towards the problem or not.

Hi,
does this happen with a specific geometry or with all input files, including the example ones?
The back trace shows that the ray tracer has a problem localizing a position in the geometry. To ensure that this could not be due to a tricky error in the your geometry definition it would be good to know if this is a specific or a general issue.
In addition some other infos would be of interest:
- Do you run Ubuntu in a virtual machine or is it a native installation?
- Which version of g++ do you use?
I would also suggest rebuild your geoeditor with the following command
make SLOWAA=yes
and check if the issue persists. It might be that there is an issue in the multithreading implementation of your compiler that could cause this crash.
Cheers
Chris
Dear Chris
The problem is happening with all input file, even with the sample input file. I am using native Ubuntu installation. I have tried with command SLOWAA=yes, but the problem persists. What I have found is that my PC being old one is having Core2 duo processor and the “geoviewer” crashes with any version of linux. I have tried with fedora32, ubuntu 18.04 and Ubuntu 20.04. In new machines starting from i3 processors, the problem goes away. This is my personal view, may be I am wrong.
With regards,
Sujoy Chatterjee
Hi Sujoy,
I think I have identified the issue which is bound to show up only with certain CPUs under specific circumstances as well as some types of virtual machines.
Could you please try to replace the file d3layer.cc in the sub-directory “viewer” of geoviewer with the following version and recompile it.
In my test setup this resolved the issue but I cannot guarantee because it was very tricky to reproduce the issue you were encountering. Therefore, it would be great if you could try the patch.
@fferrull could you please try as well? In your environment the patch is already installed. So you would just need to start flair and try the 3D view.
Cheers
Chris
