Bug: Application crash at startup [not relevant]
After 1.0.3.8 I have got problems with starting up applications when phone's up-time is a day or more. When this happens, app shows loading cover for a while and then simply closes without any trace. Already open/running apps seem to work fine, only starting of new apps is having problems. Only rebooting the phone helps and after reboot everything works OK again, at least for a while. Last time this happened phone had been up and running around 1 day.
Above has happened with e-mail and settings apps, though I would guess that also other apps would have been affected. I didn't check them specifically, just rebooted the phone after the problem came up.
UPDATE:
journalctl log added: http://pastebin.com/MFEjxsmw (Removed entries related to one call)
Both email and jolla-settings become unresponsive for a while. Problems might be related to network connection problems with WLAN & 3G and I could not enable either via settings. Thus also email sync failed and whole app got stuck for a while. I didn't notice to try whether these apps would have crashed at start up, but behavior was otherwise similar.
I had this also... But I can't reproduce it.

JiiHoo ( 2014-02-25 15:48:44 +0200 )editThe (most likely) root cause of this is that the launcher detects that another instance of the application is already running, and so it doesn't allow a "second" instance to run. Eg, if you are seeing this problem with the settings application, then (if you have developer mode installed) ssh into the device, do
ps axu | grep jolla-settings
and you will probably see an existing settings application instance.killall jolla-settings
should then allow you to open the settings application as per normal.More worrying is why this bug occurs (ie, the application is getting caught in a deadlock / hang when it is being closed). Are you able to provide any logs (
journalctl -ba
) of what happened when the abnormal behaviour is seen?Cheers, Chris.
chris.adams ( 2014-02-27 05:53:06 +0200 )editSounds a likely reason for this. I didn't notice to check from terminal whether there where any stuck processes.
journalctl didn't show anything useful (no old enough logs available), but I have to check it when this happens again.
JiiHoo ( 2014-02-27 10:58:27 +0200 )editOk, I hit to same problem again. This time email got stuck first and I could not open it even though it was already running (got timeout message). Also settings didn't open first but while I was digging with console, settings suddenly popped open (took about 30-60 seconds). However, settings is not working well, selecting any of the options simply causes it stuck again.
journalctl shows plenty of messages for both email and jolla-settings. I have to check them when I get home and put them available somewhere.
