Topic: starting FSB error

As a linux user (ubuntu) i use virtualbox to run FSB.
Installation is ok, but when i click on fsb icon, the program start and a popup warn about "Root element missing"

Dont know what it could be, no other comment or log to help, and the interface continue to load and seem to run smootly. How to investigate this error ?

Re: starting FSB error

Are you sure that you tried to run FSB under Virtualbox not Wine ?

If you are using virtualbox then you are running FSB under windows wirtual machine.

FSB/FST doesn't run under Wine. http://www.winehq.org but probably run under Virtualbox http://www.virtualbox.org

Yes i'm sure sad

- i first try with wine (1.3.8) but .net does not install well ( neither dotnet20 nor dotnet35 with winetricks even with latest from trunk), so no way at the moment (removed everything related to FSB).

- second try: installed virtualbox (from Oracle) + xpsp3 + .NET4
this seem to work smoothly, except this strange popup error, and a complaint about JIT with lot of dll errors as a result.

- third try: i've installed most of the Mono packages with ubuntu natty:
a) using a clean new .wine:
- get the same error about JIT while installing
- FSB start, generator work, but the interface is half empty (missing graphic parts)
b) so i need to glance at logs deeper and maybe install more Mono files, or remove all the Mono tweaks and install dotnet from winetricks or directly from MS.

Will report later if i find a good config.

Re: starting FSB error

Last try: wine 1.3.9 +dotnet30 (winezeug/trunk/r1995)

Still get "handle exception"

details joined.

Re: starting FSB error

Hello Spy'n'Trade,
if you still can't run FSB under VirtualBox, maybe I could help you...I am running VirtualBox for two years now. For me FSB is working fine (except some problems with importing tickdata or if I give FSB a lot of data to calculate I get sometimes an "out of memory" error).

Debian unstable
Kernel: 2.6.22-2-amd64

VirtualBox 3.1.8 r61349
I have not used the deb package of VirtualBox, simply go the hard way and try compiling with "make", install VirtualBox tools and adjust the settings for RAM and VGA. Try also in fullscreen and window mode.

Tell if you could solve the problem
Best wishes
Kostja

EDIT:
on VirtualBox I am running WinXP Pro gaming edition SP2 (I have experienced some problems with SP3)

Re: starting FSB error

I sucssesfully compiled FSB with Mono Develop 2.4 uder Win 7 64. After small fixes it compiled with no erros or warnings. I tryed to run it uder Ubuntu but some dependences were not satiafied - Windows.Forms not found.

Wow, I didn't know this app, thanks for the info.
Could you upload the compiled file(s) or should we wait until FSB goes opensource?

It would be great, if we could run it native on a unix box!

Re: starting FSB error

I'm using my Amazon Kindle to read the forum now (I'm temporary stuck in a windy place in western Russia without net). Once I have internet I'll publish FSB project which is now Mono compatible.
