Pe does not launch

[Kev]

This worked OK on hrev46992, but on hrev47020, launching Pe from the Deskbar menu or from Terminal does not work (nothing appears to happen.) In Terminal it says:

~> /boot/system/apps/Pe/Pe ~>

This was similar to behaviour I was having opening a file with StyledEdit, but this is just trying to open Pe without a file.

Attached is a debug report when I killed the team, which was not using any CPU. A subsequent launch attempt worked fine.

Also, apologies if this is a duplicate, but Trac will not let me search for 'Pe' as a term.

I have seen this a few times. A reboot clears the problem.

[Kev]

Thanks, that might provide a clue. Hopefully that's not the last word, though--I've had it happening more frequently lately, and "the Windows solution" leaves a bit of a bad taste (despite Haiku's fast rebooting time) ;-)

[michel]

Of course. Just affirming that it's not just you.

[Kev]

Ah, many thanks, michel. :)

The debug report unfortunately doesn't show anything useful. In such a case, you might need to enter KDL in order to get a backtrace for the currently executing Pe thread. I can't reproduce the same thing here, and I couldn't see anything in that revision range that would be remotely related to this issue.

I tested it in hrev48136 (x86_gcc2) and Pe works OK (both from Terminal, or from Deskbar menu). Maybe can be closed?

Remove milestone for tickets with status = closed and resolution != fixed
