CubeMX hangs on ''Clock Configuration'' tab hanging the whole system

Hi! I'm using Linux x86_64 with OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.71-b15, mixed mode). The versions affected: 4.19.0, 4.18.0

When I start STM32CubeMX and create a project, everything is fine. But if I click the 'Clock Configuration' tab, the whole X11 session freezes.

Please drop me any idea how to get more info: traces, debug, anything?

Hi,

Can you please share the .ioc file and the STM32CubeMX.log file you find under your user directory in the .stm32cubemx folder.

Thanks

Imen

No input ioc: New Project. Then choose any MCU. Then click the 'Clock Configuration' tab

Also (as I got developers' attention): in Linux CubeMX creates excessive folders: $HOME/.stm32cubeMX AND $HOME/.stm32cubemx .

And if we could avoid $HOME/STM32Cube in $HOME that'd be very good (XDG says it should be in

$XDG_DATA_HOME

, which is e.g.

$HOME

/.local/share)

Hello Ildar,

The log file link is somehow not accessible.

Could you upload it in your post ?

Kind regards

The log file is perfectly available. But per your request I repost the log:

I don't see how I can upload the log in this forum, sorry.

Hello Ildar,

Thanks for the log.

They looks correct.

I did the experiment by installing Ubuntu16.04 64b distribution.

I have installed openjdk-8-jdk (which seems to be the same version as yours).

    'java -version' returns

     openjdk version '1.8.0_121'     OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_121-8u121-b13-0ubuntu1.16.04.2-b13)     OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.121-b13, mixed mode)

Then I have installed CubeMX 4.19.

When I open a new project, and goes under the clock config tab, it does not hang my system.

Are you working on an Ubuntu ?

If not, could you indicate on which distribution you are working ?

Have you tried to use VisualVM to spy java virtual machine activities ?

When your system hang, are you stll able to access another system console ?

Kind regards

Sirma

Dear Sirma,

It's a pity you couldn't reproduce the issue. I indeed use another Linux distro, called ALTLinux with OpenJDK build 1.8.0_71-b15.

I can understand if you cannot test it.

As for the VisualVM, I don't think it can help, as the whole UI with X.org just hangs. I still can access text consoles, but not the GUI.

Thanks and regards, Ildar

Hello Ildar,

If you can open a new console, can you check, by top os ps, the processes status ?

Just to be sure none is in ghost, or any other dummy state.

Kind regards

Sirma
