Problem loading phraymd

[Keith Tilley]

I've suddenly developed a problem where phraymd won't load. When I
launch it the window appears briefly and then disappears. I've tried
re-installing and even deleting all the collections and thumbnails but
that didn't help. Opening it from the terminal gives this readout:

Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like a missing environment variable to me. Have you tried to
export HOME=/home/yourusername ?

hmm...

should probably be

i.e. no dollar sign

I'm not sure that is what is causing the segfault, however. In the past, I have seen some segfaults when trying to save edited images as a result of a (still unfixed) threading issue.

Are you using phraymd from source or the ppa package? I can update easily the sources, but it may take a little bit longer to update the ppa.

cheers,
Damien

PS: I haven't had any time to work on phraymd lately. Since returning from Australia I've bought a house and got a promotion at work. Hopefully things will settle down a bit in December and I'll have some time to play with phraymd again.

Unfortunately I'm using the ppa package.

I've checked that HOME is listed in the environment variables.

Hello Damien,

I've solved my problem. I deleted the whole of the 'phraymd' folder in
'./local/share/' and then I was able to start phraymd up.

I had already deleted all the collections, so the only files left in
the folder before I deleted it were 'map-places' and 'tag-layout'. I
hadn't used geo-tagging, but I did have a look at the feature so maybe
I did something which caused the problem.

Thanks,
Keith

[Damien Moore]

Keith: Glad you found a solution. If this happens again try renaming the folder instead of deleting. Then try copying some files back in to see which ones create the problem.

cheers,
Damien

Good idea, I'll do that. Thanks Damien.
