OpenBCI_GUI 🚀 - RuntimeException (Waited 5000ms for... processing.opengl.PSurfaceJOGL)

What hardware specs are you running on? This could narrow down whether it's a performance issue or something else. Does it freeze on a grey screen?

daniellasry on 22 Aug 2019

I'm running on an Intel i7-8700K @3.7GHz with 64GB of ram and a GeForce 2080Ti (with up-to-date drivers). Plenty of HDD space (more than a TB) It freezes on a blank (white) window.

I also just double checked that the Electron Hub app is the suggested version (2.0.9) for this version of the GUI.

One bit in the readme that makes me wonder is the line that says "OpenGL acceleration is required". From what I can tell the NVidia driver I have supports OpenGL 4.6 but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean I have acceleration enabled. Google is failing to give me a straight answer in terms of how I can figure out that info - is there some easy way I can check this?

Not sure if it's worth mentioning that the standalone application runs okay, with occasional freezing issues when the connection with the Cyton is interrupted.

Thanks for the help!

Yeah if you have a 2080ti with nvidia drivers, you have acceleration enabled, no question about it. Even if you had no dedicated GPU the integrated graphics on the intel processor would give you GL acceleration.

Definitely good to know that the standalone app works. So there's something about running from processing...

Are you running the latest version of processing available (3.5.3)? I've had issues with older versions.

Could you paste the rest of the console log leading up to the text you pasted above? I want to see if there are any other failures that might be delaying startup.

daniellasry on 24 Aug 2019

Okay glad to know it's probably not a problem with OpenGL then.

I am running from Processing version 3.5.3. Here is the rest of the console log:

One other thing I just thought to mention is that, per the note in the tutorial, I had removed the jna package files from the Processing libraries folder since I was having a duplicate conflict.

OpenBCI_GUI::Setup: Setup is complete!

This last valid log message appears at the very end of this threaded process:

    // Bug #426: If setup takes too long, JOGL will time out waiting for the GUI to draw something.
    // moving the setup to a separate thread solves this. We just have to make sure not to
    // start drawing until delayed setup is done.
    thread("delayedSetup");

@BeeCoughs

I am starting to use Visual Studio Code to edit the GUI for all platforms, it's definitely more pleasant than Processing IDE and Atom.

Other than that, I use AMD graphics on my Windows/Ubuntu machine. I have seen this error before, but not recently. I see that you did reference #426 already!

retiutut on 27 Aug 2019

@BeeCoughs Unfortunately I can't clearly tell what's causing the freeze. Usually this happens when the setup() function takes too long, and the GUI doesn't draw anything.

I don't know why setup() is taking too long when you run from processing.

As richard mentioned, the Processing IDE isn't a fantastic experience. I like to use VSCode, and I wrote a setup guide here: https://github.com/OpenBCI/OpenBCI_GUI/wiki/Developer-Setup

And who knows, maybe your problem will fix itself switching to VSCode?

daniellasry on 28 Aug 2019

Okay, thanks for taking the time to check out the problem. I guess moving onto running the GUI from VSCode is the next step. I appreciate the help and will give an update here whether or not things run when I get a chance to test it out.

BeeCoughs on 28 Aug 2019

If you're in there modifying the code, you could pepper some print statements in the setup() function and figure out which part of setup is taking too long.

daniellasry on 29 Aug 2019

Still having the same issue in VSCode unfortunately. I'm a little confused as to where exactly it's slowing down. The only part there's any appreciable time between lines printed to console is after "OpenBCI_GUI::Setup: Setup is complete!" and before the error.

I put print statements throughout the setup (and delayed_setup) functions and they seem to all run, but one I put right at the top of the draw function does not. I also put one in the top of the udpReceiveHandler function that does not get printed, though I can't tell if that would be expected or not.

The console printout is exactly the same other than some of the numbers in the error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Waited 5000ms for: <15aa3a48, 1b6dc68d>[count 3, qsz 1, owner <main-FPSAWTAnimator#00-Timer0>] - <main-FPSAWTAnimator#00-Timer0-FPSAWTAnimator#00-Timer1>
        at processing.opengl.PSurfaceJOGL$2.run(PSurfaceJOGL.java:410)
        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

I think I've thrown all I can at this. Thanks for taking the time to help regardless.

I'm having the same issue as BeeCoughs, here are my specs:

Operating System and Version
Ubuntu 18.04.3

GUI Version
OpenBCI GUI 4.1.6
Running app via Processing IDE v 3.5.3

Type of OpenBCI Board
Cyton + Daisy

Are you using a WiFi Shield?
Yes

The RuntimeException is consistently thrown after GUI launch, selecting the cyton -> wifishield -> (setting parameters to UDP, 16 channels) -> pressing "Start Session".

Any ideas?

I found the function that is causing the initiation of the 5000ms timer by adding in 6 second delays throughout the suspect method: SoftwareSettings.load():

    loadApplyWidgetDropdownText();

            switch (frameRateCounter) {
        case 0:

            frameRate(24); //refresh rate ... this will slow automatically, if your processor can't handle the specified rate

Removing all but delay 3.5 crashes at the same spot. The loadApplyTimeSeriesSettings(); call is quite time consuming and causes the crash right near the completion of writing the channel updates (as seen in my previous post).

Solution: move the frameRate switch statement below the call to loadApplyTimeSeriesSettings(); like so:

```
//Apply Time Series Settings Last!!!
loadApplyTimeSeriesSettings();

    switch (frameRateCounter) {
        case 0:
            topNav.fpsButton.setString("24 fps");
            frameRate(24); //refresh rate ... this will slow automatically, if your processor can't handle the specified rate
            break;
        case 1:
            topNav.fpsButton.setString("30 fps");
            frameRate(30); //refresh rate ... this will slow automatically, if your processor can't handle the specified rate
            break;
        case 2:
            topNav.fpsButton.setString("45 fps");
            frameRate(45); //refresh rate ... this will slow automatically, if your processor can't handle the specified rate
            break;
        case 3:
            topNav.fpsButton.setString("60 fps");
            frameRate(60); //refresh rate ... this will slow automatically, if your processor can't handle the specified rate
            break;
    }

```
Hopefully this helps someone else!

@BeeCoughs Can you try @Joe-Westra's Solution or do you need a standalone GUI to test?

retiutut on 13 Nov 2019

Unfortunately this doesn't help since my exception is thrown even before the "INITIALIZING SYSTEM" message. I tried moving the switch statement regardless, in case there was something I was overlooking, as well as adding a few of the print statements, but I am still not getting past "Setup is complete!" being printed to console.

retiutut on 13 Nov 2019

I changed the isVerbose boolean to true, but it doesn't seem the console output is any longer. Is there supposed to be a log file generated somewhere that I'm not seeing?

I also wasn't able to try and connect my board since the GUI window is frozen completely blank.

Instantiating hub object...

This is what is supposed to appear after "Setup is complete". Make sure you have the Hub in the /data/ directory. Might be getting caught up because of of sudo/no sudo?

retiutut on 14 Nov 2019

Unfortunately it's still happening with the 4.1.7-beta.2 release.
The Hub is in the data directory and is version 2.1.0. It launches when I run the code and it shows up in the tray.
Not sure how to check if it's a sudo/no sudo issue.

Another thing to try would be using a different drawing library to render the GUI. We use P2D, or Processing 2D.

You can launch the GUI from Processing or VSCode and change the size(win_x, win_y, P2D); case below to JAVA2D or P3D.

void settings() {
    // If 1366x768, set GUI to 976x549 to fix #378 regarding some laptop resolutions
    // Later changed to 976x742 so users can access full control panel
    if (displayWidth == 1366 && displayHeight == 768) {
        size(976, 742, P2D);
    } else {
        //default 1024x768 resolution with 2D graphics
        size(win_x, win_y, P2D);
    }
}

I'm not saying the GUI will work entirely when you change this, but maybe it will shed light on the issue.

Hey, sorry that it's been a while since I had a chance to address this further.

Now running from VSCode with GUI version 4.1.7, Processing version 3.5.4, and changed the drawing library to P3D and it was the same story, however, when I switch to JAVA2D it didn't immediately crash after setup. However, as soon as I mouse over the GUI window (tested this a few times) I do get a new error:

I also tried with the new alpha release of ver 5.0.0 and got the same error.

I did notice that the line from the console verifying the version/latest version is absent, but not sure if that means anything. Either way, hopefully that does shed some light on the issue! Thanks for keeping this open despite my slow correspondence here.

I'm reverting the version back to 4.2.0 and I might release using Processing 4: https://github.com/processing/processing4/releases/tag/processing-1270-4.0a1.

I've also changed the code so that a GUI version will always print. I'm aware that changing the drawing mode doesn't help. It shouldn't be hard to try Processing 4 from that release page.

However, I don't think they have moved away from JOGL yet.

@BeeCoughs Have you tried on other computers? It's rare for this to occur during GUI app startup.

@Joe-Westra When GUI v5 is released, it's possible we will not try to apply board settings while starting a session. This seems to slow down the Session Initialization anyways.

@BeeCoughs situation is more concerning, because the app is unable to startup properly.

Same problem with Processing v4.0a1 though the exception in the console output was a little more detailed:

It also highlights line 1451 in the OpenBCI_GUI code, which I find strange, because the renderer is set as JAVA2D and that line is in an if statement conditional on the renderer being set as P2D or P3D (unless draw library != renderer in which case ignore this).

I have not tried on any other computers but should be able to either this weekend or early next week and get back to you.

Just wanted to follow up: had a chance to try this on a Dell desktop today and it works fine. Wish I knew why my main machine has trouble, but at least I feel a little less crazy knowing that I was doing things correctly!

That's good to hear! Just to recap:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Waited 5000ms for: <55bf7001, 5b7884c6>[count 3, qsz 1, owner ] -
at processing.opengl.PSurfaceJOGL$2.run(PSurfaceJOGL.java:410)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

I'm running on an Intel i7-8700K @3.7GHz with 64GB of ram and a GeForce 2080Ti (with up-to-date drivers). Plenty of HDD space (more than a TB) It freezes on a blank (white) window.

One bit in the readme that makes me wonder is the line that says "OpenGL acceleration is required". From what I can tell the NVidia driver I have supports OpenGL 4.6 but I suppose that doesn't necessarily mean I have acceleration enabled. Google is failing to give me a straight answer in terms of how I can figure out that info - is there some easy way I can check this?

To hopefully fix this, we have moved to Processing 4. I believe the devs are aware of JOGL issues and there is a doc stating it should be replaced.

It appears that some machine's graphics cards may not support OpenGL graphics in a functional way. Closing this issue for now, as it seems tied to certain PC hardware configurations.
