OSX Client hang

Soulseek General Discussion

I'm finding that the OSX Soulseek client is hanging repeatably (spinning beachball of death). I upgraded to the latest build however it is still hanging. Usually happens after I leave the client running overnight. I'n the morning I will find Slsk hung along with OSX Finder. Force quitting Slsk does not work. Neither does resetting the finder by command line.

Is there anyway I can generate a useful report for debugging purposes?

Running latest SoulseekQt-2014-12-19 on OSX 10.7.5

There is actually a way. In a terminal, cd to the folder containing SoulseekQt.app and start the client in a debugger: lldb SoulseekQt.app, then run. When the client hangs, use ctrl+c in a terminal to interrupt it and type bt to get a stack track. Copy paste that here and I'll take a look at it.

Thanks, Nir

I upgraded to OSX Yosemite and it seems stable, no more hanging.

That's interesting information, thanks for letting me know.

Cheers, Nir
