Boostnote: [Ubuntu Linux] Boostnote segfaults when closed

[lakshayg]

System: Ubuntu 16.04

Boostnote stops responding when the close button is clicked.

It seems to be an error from electron. I'm currently inspecting.

[Rokt33r]

Do you still have this problem?
I couldn't find any problem of this...More information is needed to deal with this problem.

If you do, please reopen this issue and please give me more information related this problem.

Like processes list, which can be printed by ps -e|grep boost

[lakshayg]

Yes, the problem is still the same. Here is the screenshot

Let me know if you need any information. I am unable to reopen this issue.

[Rokt33r]

Sorry, I didn't noticed only I can reopen.

Anyway, here comes more questions.

1. Is the app still working after error occurs?
2. Could you tell me your desktop environment version?

[lakshayg]

1. No the app seems to freeze for a while and then exits when it is closed. When restarted, it seems to work fine till I click on the close button again.
2. I am using unity 7 on Ubuntu 16.04

I'll install Ubuntu on this weekend to deal with this problem. Hang on a little more. 😢

I fixed this problem on ubuntu. If this error pop again after updating v0.6.3, comment here. Then, I'll re-open this issue.

Anyway, v0.6.3 will be published Today. FIY, check #72.

v0.6.3 segfaults on closing. The problem is not yet solved.

[Rokt33r]

@lakshayg Thank you for reporting. I'll check it again.

[Rokt33r]

It seems to be due to the version of Electron. After I updated to v1.2.8, the error won't occur anymore.(Currently Boostnote using v1.1.3)
But, we have to keep watching. I'll inform you when I updating.

[Rokt33r]

@lakshayg v0.6.4 released. I confirmed it works well on Ubuntu now!

[lakshayg]

I have updated to v0.6.4 and it still has the same problem. Gives a segfault when closed.

[Rokt33r]

Hmm... It's too hard to deal with it... Okay, I'll check it again.

@Rokt33r I was constantly experiencing the same issue with Boostnote ~0.5. Since upgrading to 0.6.4 it has only happened once.

Linux #####-###### 3.19.0-66-generic #74~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 19 19:56:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I think intercepting close event of Main window causes this problem. I'll fix it the next update(v0.6.7 or v0.7.0).

[Rokt33r]

I confirmed it has been fixed. Please check v0.6.7. If it still doesn't work, comment here.

[lakshayg]

It works .. Finally!
