Assertion error; Hugin 2014.0.0 on Lubuntu 14.04

[paul womack]

I just updated my PPA per

http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu#Shortcut

and updated Hugin.

And I'm now getting an assertion error when running Hugin. I don't know what
my previous (non-assertion-throwing) Hugin version was.

Any help (including going back a version or two) gratefully accepted.

I've attached the detailed dumps and versions at the end of this email.

This is fixed in repository some time ago. The cause is mainly the switch from wxWidgets 2.8 to 3.0, where the handling of the assert messages changed.

Any help (including going back a version or two) gratefully accepted.

So your alternatives can be
* go back to older version
* go forward and compile default branch
* recompile 2014.0 with wxWidgets 2.8

Summary; ppa:hugin/next works, ppa:hugin/hugin-builds throws the assertion.

Well, this is odd.
I have another laptop runing Ubuntu 14.04, and it was working
OK.

Some detailed comparison led to a cure, but it's a little strange.

Following THIS page:

https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/next
(and its linked friend: https://launchpad.net/~hugin/+archive/ubuntu/hugin-builds)

I added:
ppa:hugin/next

and
ppa:hugin/hugin-builds
(the lattter is also the PPA indicated by http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu#Shortcut)

To my failing laptop. Much updating later, Hugin still threw the Assertion
error.

Checking the PPA list on the working laptop, I found that it ONLY
had

ppa:hugin/next

So I change the failing laptop to that, did a load of remove/update/install stuff,
and - bingo - it worked.

So - am I now on some bizarre side branch?

Can you give some more information regarding what assertions are thrown
and in what circumstances? I know that there is a problem with using the
about dialog in the version from the hugin-builds version:

/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/object.h(160): assert "wxDynamicCast(ptr, T)"
failed in wxCheckCast(): wxStaticCast() used incorrectly

but I'm not aware of any other problem in the 2014.0.0 version from
hugin-builds. And I use it myself under 14.04.2 LTS

With kind regards

Stefan Peter

Hi BugBear

I have updated the hugin and enblend/enfuse packages in ppa:hugin/next
to the versions used in debian jessie. This should cure quite some
problems with failing asserts. Please have a look, if these versions fix
your problems I will move them over to ppa:hugin/latest

Hmm, I use Debian Sid & get the assertion error from certain dialog boxes w/ the Audacity audio editor. IIRC, the bug report about that says Debian compiled some library w/ debug enabled.

I don't get the assertion error in Hugin, I just sometimes get nothing in the panosphere area except part of whatever is lying behind it on the screen. Sometimes it shows the panosphere, which is odd because I have it set to not show the panosphere.

Debian Sid, 64bit, using XFCE & the Light Display Manager, on 3 different PCs, 2 with Intel hardware, 1 with AMD.

But (see my previous post) my current "working" scenario
was already to have

ppa:hugin/next

but NOT
ppa:hugin/hugin-builds

What PPA's should I have set up for your test?

BugBear

[bugbear]

Just tried it with and without "hugin-builds"

With:
2014.0.0.5da69bc383dd

Without:
2014.0.0.5da69bc383dd

Both work (no errors in About dialog or when viewing control points).

This had
hugin-2014.0.0+dfsg-3ubuntu1

and was updated to

hugin-2014.0.0+dfsg-5ubuntu1

>

This has
hugin-2014.0.0+dfsg-1ubuntu1

and will be updated to

hugin-2014.0.0+dfsg-5ubuntu1

after you have tested it.


All these versions are based upon the same hugin-2014.0.0 release source
code. They differ in the amount of additional patches (originating from
the debian developers).

ppa:hugin/next

I will update ppa:hugin/hugin-builds after I got your feedback.


Thank you for your support.

Actually the patches fixing the assertion originate from the hugin
developers, we have only cherrypicked them. Credit where credit is
due. ;-)

But _you_ picked them. And i just pulled from your repo. So it is your
responsibility ;)

I really appreciate your lead in these issues.

Hi,

I got the very same assertion failure. Backtrace is

ASSERT INFO:

/usr/include/wx-3.0/wx/object.h(160): assert "wxDynamicCast(ptr, T)" failed
in wxCheckCast(): wxStaticCast() used incorrectly

That started when i upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 and continues in
ubuntu 15.04.

After the message if i continue the program dies.

Synaptics shows hugin version 2014.0+dfsg-Subuntu1-utopic version for hugin,
hugin-data and hugin-tools and 4.1.3+dsg-2ubuntu1-utopic for enblend and enfuse.

Synaptics also finds libwxbase2.8-0 version 2.8.12.1+dfsg2-2ubuntu1 and also
libbase3.0-0 version 3.0.2-1 installed.

Python-wxgtk3.0 version 3.01.1+dfsg-2 and python-wxversion 3.0.1.1+dsg-2
are installed.
