assertion failed

[Michael Havens]

I keep getting an error and then a crash when i begin hugin. The error is:

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

I've repeated this numerous times and it keeps doing it.

Hello Michael,

Are you still using the hugin version you reported recently, as below?

If not, which hugin version, and have you recently updated your linux
system ?
Which linux, and version?

Always provide the hugin version and system details when you report issues
like this.

Cheers,

Yes I am.

 recently updated your linux

The system is updated almost daily. I am running Mint 17.3 . I update the system just a moment ago.... same deal.

(I didn't ignore your post, I just didn't get it emailed to me.)

Hello Michael,

I think you should file a bug report, that can be done here
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/hugin>
Provide details of what steps you go through with hugin that brings about
the failure, and if possible a copy of what hugin reports from help >
system, and the attach the bug report.

[David W. Jones]

I don't know about that particular bug, but IIRC, wasn't there a time
when that kind of error message appeared on Debian-based systems because
Debian had compiled the wx3 widgets lib with debugging turned on?

I still get those kind of "assertion failed" messages sometimes using
current Hugin on Debian Testing. Hugin doesn't crash, I just click to
ignore the message and continue.

no matter what I click, whether it be 'stop', 'continue', or I just close the error window, everything dies.

The funny thing about this is that I had just successfully completed a panorama and I was just beginning another when it started dying.

Yeah that happened to me once where I just clicked continue and all was fine. But that happened months ago!

I haven't heard that Debian quit compiling that lib with debugging
enabled. Have they?

With Hugin closed, you might try renaming your .hugin config file, then
starting Hugin again. Just in case the Hugin crash messed up the config
file.

No, the issues causing the messages have been fixed in hugin in the
meantime.

So my recommendation is to use hugin 2016.2-rc1 or the current trunk.
Most probably, these are the only versions that will be fixed if the
problem still exists in these versions.

With kind regards

So what is the ppa for the release candidate? 

[Michael Havens]

After a little googling it appears there is no ppa for it. So before I install it do I need to do anything with the existing ppa?

[Michael Havens]

I then realized there is NO ppa.

Where does that come from? Care to share the output of
printenv
from your system?

Please install CMake >= 3.1.0 as requested by the message above.

Sorry, I have now idea how package management under Mint works. And I'm

If you do an installation from source, I'd highly recommend that.

But in any case, you will have to go through your preferences
(File->Preferences) and use the "Load defaults" button on every tab. Or
issue 'rm -f ${HOME}/.hugin" in order to get rid of the old defaults.

Sorry for the hassle, now I got it:

Most probably a copy and paste issue.

Sorry for the noise.

what is the difference between the RC and trunk?

Sorry.

RC -> Release candidate. This will be the next stable version, but it is
not released yet. This version should work just fine, all the problems
found up to date should be fixed an the translations should be up to
date. If you find a problem with this version, please let us know so we
can fix it prior to releasing it as the next stable version to the public.

Trunk -> This is the current development version. It can break any time
but may include the latest and greatest features Hugin will provide in
the stable version somewhen in the future. Read this as "living on the
edge of technology" and don't be surprised if it bites you. However,
we'd really appreciate any feedback on this version, too. Someday, it
will be the next beta version which will become a release candidate and
then the stable release. Of course, we want your feedback regarding any
issues encountered using the trunk, too.

[Michael Havens]

after looking into it it appears as if   it is as i thought but my question is how can an RC1 have a trunk?

[Michael Havens]

it looks as if my understanding of it was backwards. Thank you so much for your wise advice! Let's do the RC and see what happens!

[Michael Havens]

didn't do anything. I still crash on start. Let's see what happens when I start it from a terminal:

I think that is the wrong command:

$ which hugin

/usr/bin/hugin

 

I tried 'hugin -v' but that just opened the program (which then crashed after I clicked stop or continue.... I figured out that the bug report window does not open when I click stop or close the error window). I believe it is the most recent though. These  are the installed ppas:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugin/hugin-builds

I was looking at the output and I think (in my untrained view) it is trying to open an image or something but because there is no image it crashes:

[Stefan Peter]

Dear Michael Havens

This is not related to your error messages you reported earlier. It is a
problem with the python helper scripts that nobody was able to fix yet.
These "fails @api-max" messages are harmless and are encountered by
anybody using 2016.2.

[Michael Havens]

Perhaps this has something to do with it..... There is a window open, that I was unable to close before it started crashing upon opening the program. It is labeled "Overview". I do not remember if this was opened immediately before it started to open and then crash but I do know it was really close to that time. I remember trying to close it and being unable to.

it seems to be wanting to open a bunch of photos even though I am stating a new instance of hugin.
