xTIMEcomposer doesn't start in Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit

Post by kris »

It gives the following error, then crashes: GLib-GObject:ERROR:/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.40.0/./gobject/gobject.c:4215:g_weak_ref_set: assertion failed: (weak_locations != NULL)

Reason:

The xTIMEcomposer comes with an embedded web browser (the Developer Column) used to display tools and xSOFTip tutorials/documentation. However, this technology has certain dependencies and as of Ubuntu 14.04 the default version of some of the dependent libraries has introduced incompatibilities. Note: This issue occurs in tools release 13.02 and less. As of the next tools release, this issue should be fixed.

Workaround 1 - Point at the required versions of the libraries:

Create a new directory, download the attached zip file and unzip to this this directory.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<Path to the new directory>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

When starting xTIMEcomposer, the Developer Column will now be successfully displayed.

Workaround 2 - Disable Developer Column

The developer column can be disabled completely by adding the following two lines to the end of the xtimecomposer.exe.ini file:

-Dcom.xmos.cdt.disableMozillaBrowserCreation=true

-Dcom.xmos.cdt.disableDefaultBrowserCreation=true
