Bugs
No support for long keywords
![[New]](../imgs/new.gif)
(14 Sep 2012)
The CXC datamodel has support for long, >8, keywords using a combination of standard DSTYP/DSVAL keywords. These keywords do not show up in the Header Keywords section of the prism gui.
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
OR
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": libcanberra-gtk-module.so:
cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
(15 Dec 2009)
The warning is cosmetic and doesn't impact how prism works.
Workaround:
The gnome session sets GTK_MODULES to load some debugging tools. If the user simply unsets the GTK_MODULES environment variable, then the warning messages will disappear:
unsetenv GTK_MODULES
(prism:2236): Gtk-WARNING **: GModule (/usr/lib64/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libclearlooks.so)
initialization check failed: Gtk+ version too old (micro mismatch)
(01 Feb 2011)
This warning messages may be generated when prism is run during smoke testing or run from the command line. The warnings are harmless, but annoying.
Workaround:
Remove or rename the $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0 and/or $HOME/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 file to eliminate the warnings.
Prism hangs with bad file selection (15 Dec 2009)
Trying to load an incompatible data file in prism causes the GUI to hang, requiring killing prism to exit.
Segmentation fault when trying to launch prism (18 Feb 2010)
The prism GUI will segmentation fault if there are incompatible .fontconfig files cached on the user's system. Try renaming (or removing) the .fontconfig cache:
unix% mv ~/.fontconfig ~/.fontconfig_orig
If this does not fix the prism problem, contact Helpdesk.
Quick histogram does not work as first plot
(15 Dec 2010)
(Mac OS X 32 bit only)
Quick histogram does not work on the 32 bit Mac OS X installation if no previous plot has been added. Use the interactive histogram option to create the first histogram.
