Uecide loading problem
eporocrail:
Hi Matt
Uecide hangs again during start-up on Linux Mint.
As you asked me the previous time I now do have the error message from the terminal window:
ellard@funbox:~/Software/uecide-0.11.5$ ./uecide
I hope this will help you solving the issue.
matt:
Close. But I have changed the error reporting slightly (made it better).
You now need to run UECIDE with --exceptions to get the needed error messages. You can also add --log=uecide.txt to put it all in a file that you can attach here.

Here is the message containing much more info
matt:
Ok. At a guess I would say that you have "open last sketch" turned on in preferences and the "last sketch" is corrupt in some way.
Find your preferences.txt file (in ~/Library/uecide maybe?) and look for the line editor.save.loadlast=true and change it from true to false. That should enable it to load.
I have seen (and cured) a similar problem where I loaded a file . (when in the folder of a sketch) and it broke giving the same error. It's something I have cured in the development branch, but that branch isn't usable yet.

I tried to find a file "preferences.txt". Two popped up but not from UECIDE.
The situation is as follows:
I removed UECIDE 10.6 with the software manager. I downloaded 11.05 as tar. Installed it. When I Run UECIDE via the terminal I get the error messages.
P.S. the .deb version can not be downloaded (404)
matt:
Sorry, I'm getting confused with my OSes. I thought you were OS X. You're Linux.
~/.uecide/preferences.txt
matt:
Alternatively you can try:
ellard@funbox:~/Software/uecide-0.11.5$ ./uecide --set=editor.save.loadlast=false
That should have the same effect.
eporocrail:
The last one did the trick
Thanks.
matt:
Brilliant. Most things can be cured with command line options now. The hard part is knowing what the problem is.
