Running two instances of Cumulus

Post by laulau »

I usually run two instance of Cumulus: the last stable version and the current beta version. But B962 will not open untill i stop the first instance. :o
It works with previous (B957) beta version (with occasionaly crashes).
B962 runs fine alone. Obviously two instances are allowed in Cumulus setup.
Did someone have the same problems ?

I haven't knowingly done any changes between builds 957 and 962 which would stop two instances running. I'll try it myself when I get chance.

I've just tried this and it works OK for me (one driving a FO station and the other a WMR928). I don't have any way of driving the same station as you do. The diags file from the second instance may have clues.

Here are the diags files from this morning.
I hope there is an explanation.

The Windows kernel is giving "System Error. Code: 87. Paramètre incorrect.". Googling for this is inconclusive; lots of hits but no real explanations that I can understand.

You could perhaps try rebooting Windows and then trying again to see if the same error occurs. And if you still get an error, try changing the station type in the beta version to Fine Offset (edit cumulus.ini and set Type=5), just to see if it manages to show the main window.

I've restarted the computer and the second instance is working now.
I hope it will last. ;)
If you look at the diags files b957 has run untill 0:20.(time of the crash) After that this morning i install b962 with the problem mentioned in the first post.
For now I'll wait and see :lol:

This night at 4:22 Cumulus 191 b962 died.
Cumulus 190 b958 was still alive but showing a bugreport.
The beta version crashes a second time after i try to restart it.
I've to reboot the computer to run them again normally.
This happens twice in 10 days!
I attached the C190 bugreport and the C191 elf file.

These all look like "out of resource" errors. I've run the leak checker and it hasn't found anything significant.
