error in subframe selector

[GregW]

Not reinstall but install a new core. I was running I can't remember right now but there was a newer version just a week or two old that fixed it for me......so far

[llpastro]

Yes I am already running the newest version.

Hi Larry,

This is really strange. We are receiving reports of just the opposite: SubframeSelector does no longer crash on launch, and the graphs work well on all platforms, including Windows.

Please do the following:

- Open the Process Explorer window. If necessary, extend the right panel where documentation is usually shown.

- Enter the following in the browser's URL line: chrome://gpu

- Press Enter. A complete state report will be generated for the integrated Chromium component..

- Click the Copy Report to Clipboard button. Paste the resulting text to a new post here.

Let's see if this helps us understand what's happening on your machine.

Update:  I opened SubframeSelector from the list of processes and now it works.  I had put it in favorites and that one did not work.  Go figure.  Anyway, for now at least, it seems to be working ok.  I removed it from favorites and re added it again - now no problems.

Larry

[Juan Conejero]

Glad to know it's working!

Whenever I first launch the SubframeSelector process on my Mac, I get an error “Unknown Exception”. If I launch the process again, I get no error, but I can’t get any graph either. The graph panel is empty.

I am running PixInsight Core 01.08.06.1457 Ripley (x64). I am attaching a screenshot of the exception, and one of the empty graph panel.

Here is the output from chrome://gpu/

[Juan Conejero]

The problem here is the Intel graphics driver, which is the only one available on your Mac. The driver is probably buggy but unfortunately is not being detected and blacklisted by the Chromium browser component. Also unfortunately, Apple won't update this driver because your MBP has been discontinued.

This is the first time I see one of these problems on macOS. For now, the only solution is running PixInsight from the command line. Open the Terminal application and enter the following command:

/Applications/PixInsight/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsight --opengl=software&

This will disable the use of hardware acceleration. Let me know if it works this way.

[tmccollum1]

I am having the same problem on a W10 machine.
It worked once after the upgrade, I uninstalled and reinstalled but same issue.

Thanks,
Tim McCollum

Hi Tim,

Command Line   "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --no-startup-window /prefetch:5 --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

The report you have posted has been generated from the Chrome web browser, not from PixInsight. You have to generate it from the documentation browser in the Process Explorer window.

Anyway, these problems cannot be reproduced on any platform under normal working conditions, so the issue is machine-specific. If SFS does not work for you on Windows then the problem is your graphics driver. Either update it to its latest version, if possible, or run the PixInsight core application with the --opengl=raster command-line option. It should work this way.

[fmeschia]

The problem here is the Intel graphics driver, which is the only one available on your Mac. The driver is probably buggy but unfortunately is not being detected and blacklisted by the Chromium browser component. Also unfortunately, Apple won't update this driver because your MBP has been discontinued.

This is the first time I see one of these problems on macOS. For now, the only solution is running PixInsight from the command line. Open the Terminal application and enter the following command:

/Applications/PixInsight/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsight --opengl=software&

This will disable the use of hardware acceleration. Let me know if it works this way.

Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the problem persists even by launching PI in this way.
What I find puzzling is that, if I understand correctly, the problem is related to the chart component, but isn’t that the same component used for the charts in PCC? I don’t have any problem with those...
Francesco

Still not working after driver updtes.

Thanks,
Tim

The problem here is the Intel graphics driver, which is the only one available on your Mac. The driver is probably buggy but unfortunately is not being detected and blacklisted by the Chromium browser component. Also unfortunately, Apple won't update this driver because your MBP has been discontinued.

This is the first time I see one of these problems on macOS. For now, the only solution is running PixInsight from the command line. Open the Terminal application and enter the following command:

/Applications/PixInsight/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsight --opengl=software&

This will disable the use of hardware acceleration. Let me know if it works this way.

Thank you very much! Unfortunately, the problem persists even by launching PI in this way.
What I find puzzling is that, if I understand correctly, the problem is related to the chart component, but isn’t that the same component used for the charts in PCC? I don’t have any problem with those...

I updated to the latest version of the SubframeSelector process today, but unfortunately the error is still there.
Not sure if it’s related, but when I launch PI from the command line, the following message is printed in the Terminal window when I invoke the SubframeSelector process:

Code: [Select]

$ /Applications/PixInsight/PixInsight.app/Contents/MacOS/PixInsight

PixInsight Core 01.08.06.1457 Ripley (x64)
Copyright (c) 2003-2019 Pleiades Astrophoto

js: Uncaught ReferenceError: getApprovalIndex is not defined



[fmeschia]

Some additional oddity: if I invoke the SubframeSelection process just at the program start, before the splash screen has faded out, I reliably don’t get any error in the UI, I see the graph panel, and i don’t see the "js: Uncaught ReferenceError: getApprovalIndex is not defined” message in the standard output.

[fmeschia]

And it gets even weirder: if I launch the SubframeSelector process by double-clicking on its icon in Process Explorer, it always works correctly: no errors, and the graphs are always present. 100% of the time.

[Juan Conejero]

js: Uncaught ReferenceError: getApprovalIndex is not defined

Bug confirmed, and fixed. This happened when the mouse cursor was over the SFS graphs when the tool was first launched, or when a new graph was being loaded. The bug was present on all platforms.

I'll release an update that fixes this bug tomorrow. Thank you for detecting it, and sorry for the inconvenience.
