Package: xastir Version: 2.0.8-2+b2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I made a very strange observation. I have an old serial TNC2400 which I would like to use with xastir. So to test the whole I usualy connected to the TNC with minicom to put it in KISS mode. I use a PL2303 USB to serial converter. Did try two different manufacturers! After that I fire up xastir and start the KISS interface connected to that serial port. => xastir hangs. strace shows that hanging occurs during the open call to the port. Like the port was locked by some other application. But lslocks does not show any locks. Also opening the port again with minicom, even while xastir is running, works without problem. Unplugging and re-plugging the USB port does not solve the problem, unless the device is in use and re-plugging it creates a new device node. xastir can access that new serial USB device, until I access it with minicom, then the same problem also occurs on that new USB device. I'm not sure if xastir or minicom are to blame. Any idea of what could confuse xastir to make it unable to open a serial port previously accessed by minicom? -Benoit / HB9EUE- -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages xastir depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.59 ii libax25 0.0.12-rc4-1 ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-8 ii libc6 2.24-7 ii libcurl3-gnutls 7.50.1-1 ii libdb5.3 5.3.28-12 ii libfreetype6 2.6.3-3+b1 ii libgdal20 2.1.2+dfsg-2 ii libgeotiff2 1.4.2-2+b1 ii libgomp1 6.2.1-5 ii libgraphicsmagick-q16-3 1.3.25-5 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-1+b1 ii libjbig0 2.1-3.1 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.1-2 ii liblcms2-2 2.7-1 ii liblzma5 5.2.2-1.2 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-2 ii libpng16-16 1.6.26-2 ii libproj12 4.9.3-1 ii libshp2 1.3.0-8+b1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b1 ii libtiff5 4.0.7-1 ii libwebp6 0.5.1-2 ii libwmf0.2-7 0.2.8.4-10.6 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.3-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.3-1 ii libxm4 2.3.4-11 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-2.1 ii libxt6 1:1.1.5-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2+b3 Versions of packages xastir recommends: ii festival 1:2.4~release-3 ii python 2.7.11-2 Versions of packages xastir suggests: pn direwolf | soundmodem <none> -- debconf information: * xastir/install-setuid: true
