RE: CCS/CCSTUDIO: "Failed to create the part's controls" in CCS 10.0 and Ubuntu 18.04.4

Stephen, you issue looks similar. Did you check your dependencies and also clear out the two jxbrowser folders in the CCS installation and in your workspace?

I ran the dependancy check and found that none were needed.

I see these jxbrowser files:

./ccs1000/ccs/eclipse/configuration/.jxbrowser-chromium-lib:
./ccs1000/ccs/eclipse/configuration/.jxbrowser-chromium-lib/locales:
./ccs1000/ccs/eclipse/configuration/.jxbrowser-chromium-lib/swiftshader:

Do I need to clear everything in the locales and swiftshader?

./ccs1000/ccs/eclipse/configuration/.jxbrowser-chromium-lib

try deleting the entire folder

Deleted opened ccs same messages.

This is interesting,  I installed CCS10 on a 'linux mint' system with no problems.

did you clear the jxbrowser cache in your workspace folder also? 

And also try the GTK3 workaround:

Just wanted to confirm that you ran the dependecy check on ALL the libraries in that folder

deleted .jsbrowser-data

deleted .jxbrowser-chromium-lib

export SWT_GTK3=0

./ccstudio

----------------------------

Same messages, no change.

Thanks for trying. You've tried all the key things I can think of. I'll need to escalate to the engineering team for further analysis. I'll pass on any updates as I get them

Thanks

ki

Thanks

FYI - I split off your discussion to a new thread since the root cause appears unrelated to the original post.

I installed a fresh new ubuntu 18.04.4 vm. After installation, the only update I ran was to install the required CCS dependencies. I then installed CCSv10.0. It installed fine. When I ran CCS, Resource Explorer / Getting Started / App Center views all worked as expected.

Did you install all the dependencies mentioned in the below link?

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/ccsv10_linux_host_support.html#ubuntu-18-04-3-lts

I looked at the reply from TI (6 pages) and verified all libraries up to date and installed.  (Unchanged since last week).

I took my version10 workspace off of my Linux Mint system (which worked with only libc6-i386 and the driver install script) and copied it to this Ubuntu system.  I opened the workspace that I copied and things seem to work fine.  If I go back and open the one that was created with the original install it still fails.

Regards

Thanks Stephen. I believe we have all the information we need. I will let you know if the engineering team request more, or if they have an update regarding a workaround/solution.

Well I thought the problem was fixed, but it is back.  I went to use Git to put the project in version control and got the following again:

In addition it also wiped out all of my symbolic links to the driver library

are you using some Eclipse plugin for git?

Yes Git plugin.

I am sure I don't understand all that is going on here, but I found it odd that the (or similar) message returned after trying to use Git.  Plus, the elimination of my symbolic links (wonder if that is a side effect of Git, only wanted to put my code into the repo).  I am going to try Git on my Linux-mint system (Ubuntu based) and see what happens later today.

Thanks, keep me posted on what you find.

ki

So, on the Linux Mint system Git works as expected.  So, there is obviously a problem with the system that I need to use for development.  I went back (briefly) and looked over thngs and it seems like everything is as suggested.  I will take a deep dive when I get a break from work (thiis is my development machine and the only one with adequate resources).  I am certain that I have missed some detail along the way.  However, the only thing I had to do on the Mint system was to install the 32-bit library that was marked as missing in the initail install (also done here) as best I recall.

Steve

Could you try uninstalling your existing CCS and the reinstall it again? Make sure the location you install to is empty. Then try using it with a new workspace folder and see if you still have the same issue.

Sure, but a couple of quick questions:

• Run an uninstaller (there seems to be a couple to choose from)? OR
• Delete the ccs folder? OR
• Delete the ti folder?

Also noticed that the CCS troubleshooting link is a dead end (meant to mention last week).

Regards,

Steve

You can delete the entire install folder (the folder you selected when running the install wizard).

Is the link broken?

This is the message I get:

This resource does not exist. Check your URL or select another resource to view.

Is it some wiki link?

The troubleshooting like should be:

https://software-dl.ti.com/ccs/esd/documents/users_guide/ccs_troubleshooting.html#resource-explorer

I used the:

CCS Troubleshooting Guide

link that is in every message.

Reinstalled CCS 10, same result... "Failed to create the part's controls"

Maybe we need to go over this from the top, surely I missed some detail!

Regards,

Steve

Ok let's generate some more logs.

Add the below line to the ccstudio.ini file inside <CCS INSTALL DIR>/ccs/eclipse

Hopefully something simple... that a rookie could do.jxbrowser-.zip

Thanks. 

What desktop are you running on Ubuntu?

gnome

I see the below in your log:

SEVERE: There are next missing dependencies:
browsercore64 => libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0
libbrowsercore64.so => libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0, libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0

Looks like there is a missing dependency
