Closing Gns3... crashes and asks to be forced quit. about gns3-gui

[cristian-ciobanu]

I'm also experiencing this issue but if i start first gns3server from the console and after that I start the client it work fine.
When I close the gns3 gui it exits normally no need to forcefully terminate the application
Using same distro Arch 64-bit.

@cioby23 yeah I tried that and it didn't work.

It seems to go un-responsive after I close the splash screen (GNS3 News ) from start up.

All the icons in the GUI don't popout except the X for closing.

I click the X and the Gui Crashes asking to force quit.

I pip3 uninstalled the 1.0a2.dev1 version and re-installed the 1.0 ER client and server... and it still does not work.

EDIT:- i cleared the processes with Htop and now the GUI popout started working.

But when i close the GUI the server backend doesn't gracefully shutdown still...

TL;DR... Closing the GUI and the gns3-server is not gracefully closing...

Is there a log file for the gns3-server i can investigate to give some move feedback?

[cristian-ciobanu]

Tested now and it closes normally if start first gns3server and then the client.
You could start the gns3sever with debugging log level
gns3server --logging=debug
It should give mode detailed output

@cioby23 Thanks!

That works but the process for gns3server doesnt stop when the GUI is closed off.

I did the --logging=debug

and got this..

^C[W 140407 16:04:14 base:110] Module dynamips got signal 2, exiting...
[W 140407 16:04:14 base:110] Module iou got signal 2, exiting...
[W 140407 16:04:14 server:151] Server got signal 2, exiting...
^C

So gns3server is still hanging on the exit command and you have to do crtl+c twice to end the process.

i waited 5 mins before doing Crtl+c agian.

I'm fine with this for now but I'm sure when a ordinary user runs the Gui and it starts the Server as a background service they would like the server component to shut down as well gracefully.

[cristian-ciobanu]

Yes I know this part with pressing Ctrl +C twice to close gns3server happens to me also. gns3server is a different process from the gns3-gui so closing gns3-gui does not shutdown server also.
Maybe this will be fixed in the next releases.

This bug is the bug which I encounter after trying to change the path of the gns3server.

[cristian-ciobanu]

After updating GNS3 to the latest code (this commit GNS3/gns3-server@28ca123) I have tested and now closing gns3 gui also shuts down the server normally. No need to press Ctrl + C anymore
This issue can be closed.

Hey it works now.
