FSUIPC 6.1.6 LINDA crashing during boot

[Stefan01]

FSUIPC 6.1.6 LINDA 3.2.6 .1111 P3D 5.2.22.27615

Hello,

I have installed FSUIPC 6.1.6.
When I start P3D I hear twice an beep that is audible when an error occurs.
Linda seems to start briefly then crashes and is not loaded after P3D is fully loaded.
When I start Linda again manually it seems to run.
Attached is a logfile.

I am now back to FSUIPC 6.1.5 and LINDA is running normally again.
I am not sure if I am in the right place in the FSUIPC forum or if the message would be better placed in the LINDA forum.
best regards
Stefan

Then you probably need Linda support, but a full log file would help.
I can't think of any changes from 6.1.5 to 6.1.6 that would affect Linda, but maybe @Scotfleiger could check.

I am sorry that the log was not complete.  I installed v6.1.6 again and started P3D.
After a short time, the sound indicating an error is heard twice. P3D starts completely.As far as I could observe LINDA also starts and the functions of the MCP are available, but the LINDA GUI that is usually visible when LINDA starts is not visible and cannot be called or displayed.
I hope you can see the reason in the log.
With V 6.1.5 the LINDA GUI is displayed with the start of LINDA and is then also available during the whole session.
I hope the log is now ok and you can see where the problem is.
Thanks a lot

Log looks ok to me, but I don't know much about LINDA- you need LINDA support.

Roger,thanks

Hi John

I have been investigating @Stefan01 query. The problem appears to be linked to the fsuipc6.ini [Programs] block and FSUIPC6 v6.1.6. Previously, with FSUIPC6 v6.0.8 the first line below would start LINDA.EXE (full .ini attached):

[Programs]
RunIf1=CLOSE,C:\Users\andre\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\linda.exe
RunIf2=CLOSE,C:\Program Files (x86)\HiFi\AS_P3Dv4\AS_P3Dv4.exe

In v6.1.6 this will run the second line (Active Sky) but not the first to start LINDA. I note there is a bug fix covering this area in the release notes. Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, that is very strange - I will take a look and get back to you.

Could you show me the FSUIPC6.log file please - it should show an error if unable to start a program. 
The previous log file posted showed LINDA being started via ipcReady.lua, and not via an exe from the [Programs] section:

Could you also maybe try with FSUIPC (and the linda.exe) installed outside of the Documents (add-ons) folder. This should really only be used for the add-on.xml.
I have seen various strange issues when FSUIPC is installed under Documents.

[Stefan01]

I uninstalled FSUIPC 6.1.5, then copied the FSUIPC6 folder to C: and installed FSUIPC6.1.6.
Unfortunately nothing has changed. LINDA starts, but the GUI is not visible and cannot be displayed. It seems that in this case the location of the installation has no effect on the issue.
Thank you for taking care of the issue.

That is strange. I have seen a similar issue with VoiceAttack, but only when trying to start using a shortcut not the exe itself.
Is LINDA now started through an exe, rather than via a lua script?

Guess I'm going to have to download and install...

I will look into this tomottow/next week.

Sorry, I made a mistake after copying the FSUIPC6 folders I did not change the line
[Programs]
RunIf1=CLOSE,C:\Users\Stefan Love\Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\FSUIPC6\LINDA.exe

to
[Programs]
RunIf1=CLOSE,C:\FSUIPC6\LINDA.exe

After I made this change LINDA starts correctly under 6.1.6.

Thanks again for the help

Ah, good! So it looks like it was an issue due to permissions on the Documents folder.

Thanks for reporting back.
