    Hi.
    I am trying to install CONTROL onto my Mac computers. neither my iMac nor my MacBook can actually open the program once installed. Is there a known problem with iOS?

    Cheers

    Graham

    Hi. Running Monterey on both iMac and MacBook. fully updated. The screen shot is as far as I get - just the heading on the top line saying that I am in the program....which I ain't. 58B34EF4-8A93-4FC3-A7CA-C18041640A85.jpeg

    OK thanks, we will investigate and keep an eye out for other reports. In between then and now quite a bit changed, OpenBuilds-CONTROL/CHANGELOG.txt at master · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL - so might be hard to pinpoint. If you have one more moment, can you see if 1.0.348/49 thereabouts works for you - just before the Node18 upgrades - lets just see if its something recent or further back

    Good day, I seem to be having the same issue. I can confirm that version .348 works fine but .351 does not. I'm on MAC OS Big Sur 11.7.4 on a MacBook Pro

    First I had not used my machine in a log time due to medical issues and when I turned it on for the first time openbuilds control could no longer detect the CNC on the serial port. So I connected to the serial port using a terminal program and no problem. I tried everything and nothing could get it to connect. Openbuilds also did not auto update to the latest version when I checked the website so I manually upgraded to the latest version: 1.0.352. Now it doesn't launch the icon that allows me to open the gui! sigh, so I got fed up and did a complete reinstall of Ubuntu and openbuilds. I even moved my CNC to a different USB port. Same problem. It does not launch the little icon that allows me to open the gui. I can check the processes running and openbuilds is definitely running. I don't know what to try next. Other than load an earlier version? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Possibly related to Cannot load in CONTROL in IOS
    You can try an older version.

    But if you have a moment, run CONTROL from a terminal so we can see what the logs say - if there's any errors. Saves some time not having to spin up an Ubuntu VM to test

    Same as Manfredo. .348 works fine, .349 can't be found, and .350 doesn't load. I am just happy that it wasn't just me

    If you could have a go at running CONTROL from Terminal, so we can see if there are any errors thrown it could help :)

    Thank you, yes, that does help us find where to start looking, and always nice when you start digging in to have a couple customer logs to compare to make sure you can replicate the exact issue.

    Great, no worries. Please report back if anything else is needed and will try to get that for you. Thanks for all your support! if anyone else wants to try it, these are the steps to run the app in terminal


    • Locate the application in Finder.
    • Right-click the application and select "Show Package Contents."
    • Locate the executable file. Typically, this is in Contents → MacOS, and has the same name as the application.
    • Drag that file onto your blank Terminal command line. Hit Enter to launch that program.
    • Leave your Terminal window open while you use the application. Quit the application to return to regular Terminal operations.

    This is somewhat out of my field, but running it with Manfredo's instructions, I got this result for 1.0.354.

    Yes, as mentioned in the tread linked in the earlier reply - we are looking into it.
    Not something directly under our control - something about latest versions of electron/electron-builder not handling depencies inside the asar package correctly

    Hi all, just curious if there was anything new on this? No worries if there isn’t, just eagerly waiting for multi-pass on the surfacing wizard :)

    Not yet. Issue isn't our part of the code (which is usually a quick fix as its under our control), but seems to be a bug in Electron-builder (tool we make use of to build CONTROL as a cross-platform application)
    Github issue ASAR doesn't contain Serialport's dependency modules on Linux/Mac (works fine on Windows) · Issue #7451 · electron-userland/electron-builder and several commits worth of testing ways around it (Commits · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL - commits with the word Test in it - at this point in time almost all relate to this issue)

    Sadly when dealing with issues with upstream dependencies it takes a while to convince the developers there is a problem, then to disect exactly where the problem is - to get them to fix it.

    You could try virtualbox+WindowsVM for now, or CONTROL v1.0.348 (not ideal I know, but Electron-builder 24 fixed the Windows compile issue we had (larger proportion of user base), but broke Linux/Mac - rock and a hard place :) )

    This thread really needs this link...
    v1.0.348

    Releases · OpenBuilds/OpenBuilds-CONTROL

    NOTE: the web client will not allow using this version.
    Eventually, I realized you can save the gcode to a file and load it through the old client.
    I hope that's helpful to someone.

    Good to have it here too, but we did update software.openbuilds.com to show 1.0.348 on the Mac and Linux tabs.

    Sure we could modify CAM to do the same

    As for saving vs transferring, read the text on the window - it does advise you to use the Save button :) and adds a second nice big green save button for you right there.

    Great news you all, root cause of the bug has (finally!) been found, and main bug fixed! To accomodate the fix we have to apply and test a couple changes to other sections of the codebase, but good chance that V1.0.359 will be available later today or tomorrow - and brings back support for Linux and MacOS !

    Hey Peter - Trying to get .360 to run on debian 11 bullseye. The ui wont open. What can I do to debug this? I'm not a linux user but saw a report on FB group that .360 wasnt working so I thought I'd test it out.
