Sorry I apparently never got back to you! (I honestly thought I did reply) I was extremely busy and I couldn't allocate time to any personal projects.

That being said, I did encounter problems when I tried the latest Ubuntu 25 which failed to decrypt application configurations. Your logs abruptly end when decryption starts, so I suspect it may be related.

I made some adjustments which may actually resolve your problem.

You can pull the latest changes, rebuild and try it again.

Let me know how that goes!

Thank you @Quedale for getting back with me. I know you're busy! This time I couldn't build it:

berrones avatar May 26 '25 17:05 berrones

Apparently cmake dropped support for any configurations targeting lower than 3.5.

I had to make a small update to the CMakeLists.txt file for two subprojects (CUtils and OnvifSoapLib). It should be fixed now. Thanks for this feedback! I was still using 3.31.

You can pull the latest changes and give it another shot. Given the nature of the failure, I recommend you delete CUtils from the subproject to perform a fresh run with a clear cmake cache.

Looking forward to hear back.

Well, at least there was some success!

Could you run it with valgrind to extract some additional details?

You will need to run the following to enable debugging:

autogen.sh --enable-debug
make clean
make -j$(nproc)
valgrind ./onvifmgr

This should extract additional information to what I assume is a segmentation fault.

Okay, I see! It doesnt actually crash, it just hangs?

If that's so, I may have to insert additional log out put. I'll make some changes later to help determine where it fails.

Thank you for you time helping diagnose this issue.

Quedale avatar May 28 '25 19:05 Quedale

Correct, it just hangs. Take your time! I really appreciate the dedicated help!

berrones avatar May 28 '25 19:05 berrones

I just added some extra logging and the ability to change the default loglevel. I actually have an idea where it might occur, but I wouldn't be able to explain why it behaves differently for you.

You can go ahead a pull the latest changes, rebuild and launch it using this parameter:

./onvifmgr --loglevel=8

The new trail logs should give me some additional insight.

Quedale avatar May 29 '25 01:05 Quedale

Any ideas?

Unfortunately, my suspicions were wrong. I did take a shot in the dark by making sure the EventQueue threads are started before any event is dispatched.

Just in case that does solve it, I did add more logs to help narrow it down further.

Would you mind giving it another shot?

Thanks again!

We're getting closer. There isn't much left to go through. So far narrowed down to the function show_loading from omgr_app_dialog.c since it never reached the end.

I'm starting to fear it may be a GTK bug and not necessarily related to my code since I'm mostly just initializing GTK widgets in that section. I'm not giving up tho. I really want to find the faulty line.

I added more trail logging, but this time on GtkDottedSlider, which is a custom animation widget I created to display loadings. (Which is getting initialized in the hanging function)

If you hang on a little longer, we should be able to get to the bottom of this. Can you run it once more?

I'll keep trying as long as you've got the patience to continue. I'm very impressed with your work and thankful.

Okay that's really odd!

For some reason, the animation loop starts before invoking the gtk_main loop function. This really sounds like a GTK bug or a behavior breaking change.

What seems to happen is that the slider animation relies on GtkTickCallback and the callback loop starts immediately, while it should be waiting for the gtkmainloop. Even the documentation indicate that it "Queues an animation", implying that a separate loop needs to run.

The result is that the animation loop start immediately after the first "dot" is added. The loop creates a lock-up and the GUI never finish the window initialization.

The normal behavior (what happens on all my systems) is that the "dots" are all added and the tick callbacks are only invoked after gtk_main is called.

My current educated guess is that your version of GTK has a bug.

I do have a simple resolution in mind. Simply idle dispatch gtk_dotted_slider_refresh_items instead of invoking it directly. I should have a fix available later.

Meanwhile, what version of GTK are you currently using? I would like to reproduce this behavior and drill-down GTK source to understand the root cause. You can find that out using the follow command:

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0

Thanks again for this valuable input!

Quedale avatar May 30 '25 20:05 Quedale

Thanks so much @Quedale!

pkg-config --modversion gtk+-3.0 3.24.33

berrones avatar May 30 '25 20:05 berrones

Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the problem on a vanilla Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS. I use the same version of GTK and do not experience this issue. I wasn't able to find why your system would start the animation immediately since we should be using the same codebase. That being said, GTK has dependencies (like glib) that could also be at fault.

I did make another change so that animation dots are only mapped after the gtkmainloop has started. If that doesn't solve it, I added even more trail output for debugging.

Good luck!
