Qiqqa crashing all the time under Parallels #355

aterhorst · 2021-09-02T23:23:09Z

I have been successively using Qiqqa under Parallels for several years. Lately, it has been crashing a lot. To the point, it is barely usable. I am sure my set-up is part of the problem. However, if someone can look at the logs and tell me why things are crashing, I may be able to adjust Parallels.

The log files can be located here: https://cloudstor.aarnet.edu.au/plus/f/5809992369

aarnet keeps giving me the 'New User?' page. Please advise.

From that page:

New User?
If you're a new user, you can login by selecting your institution from the list below and your account will automatically created once you have logged in using your insitution's credentials.

😉 I'm not in any institution. Or insitution (the typo is copy-pasted from the aarnet site).

Will be able to have another go on wednesday. (RL takes over the next 2 days, sorry)

Got the logs (thanks!) and had a look.

Ugh. I've seen that 'Insufficient memory' error several times before and did not find a decent answer or hint what could be wrong. (There is plenty memory available at the time of the error report: memory usage is reported as part of every log line in the Qiqqa log, which makes this a real weird bother.)

Not an answer yet, but today, there's some progress at least: found a pointer by Microsoft which discusses this thing...

First off, the relevant snippet from the log (plus the tail end: Qiqqa shutting down immediately):

InsufficientMemory searches will get you nowhere (unless your google/duck/bing-foo is much stronger than mine).

What did pop up something potentially useful is an unaldulterated search for the error report site (which is deep in the core of WPF 😱 ):

WPF App crashes due to COMException (UCEERR_RENDERTHREADFAILURE) from System.Windows.Media.Composition.DUCE.Channel.SyncFlush dotnet/wpf#3100 (WPF App crashes due to COMException (UCEERR_RENDERTHREADFAILURE) from System.Windows.Media.Composition.DUCE.Channel.SyncFlush)

(the important bit today is at dotnet/wpf#3100 (comment))

which leads us to this Microsoft page:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/dotnet/framework/wpf-render-thread-failures (WPF render thread failures, November 2020)

where the "Insufficient Memory" error is listed as one of many at the given crash site in this section of that page: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/dotnet/framework/wpf-render-thread-failures#failures-in-syncflush-waitfornextmessage-synchronizechannel-and-notifypartitioniszombie

What to do about it?

😓 while this issue is pending you might want to take a look at the generic list to try (item 1) here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/dotnet/framework/wpf-render-thread-failures#general-recommendations

Thanks for the detailed response. Much appreciated! I will have a look at that Microsoft detail.

In Parallels, I set display options to legacy systems. All good, now.
