Re: [phenixbb] phenix GUI freezing during refinement and file naming issues
Dear all. When the GUI freezes on me its a complete freeze with no pop up dialog boxes. This means the job history is not recorded and no results are recorded in the GUI. I'm not sure if this is screensaver or desktop switching related - it only seems to happen randomly - mostly when running long jobs where nothing much happens on the screen, in my experience. I'm also using an nVidia card and an upto date version of the X-server (on my ubuntu 9.10 box). I agree this is a minor issue compared to having a great program which works well. But it does mean that if its easier to use a command line all your hard work with the GUI (and its enhancements) will go to waste...

The only other thing I can think of is to add "--debug" to the command line when you start the GUI. This isn't really intended as a general-purpose user aid (it's mainly for my use), but it's possible that the last few lines may provide some clue into what's breaking. I will see if I can add some better logging features in the future. ------------------- Nathaniel Echols Lawrence Berkeley Lab 510-486-5136 [email protected]
