LabVIEW 6.1 Running on Linux Kernel 2.6 Hangs on Launch Screen Primary Software: LabVIEW Development Systems>>Full Development SystemPrimary Software Version: 6.1 Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A Secondary Software: N/A
Problem: After I install LabVIEW 6.1 on a distribution of Linux using kernel 2.6, LabVIEW crashes or hangs on the launch screen. Solution: The problem is that kernel 2.6 turns on a filesystem optimization by default, which causes the current and parent directory entries (. and ..) to no longer appear first in the output of the system call that reads directory contents (readir()). This change causes LabVIEW to crash or hang on launch. To turn off the feature in the filesystem and restore the ability to run LabVIEW, log in as root user and enter the following: # tune2fs -O "^dir_index" /dev/hda1 where /dev/hda1 is the directory where LabVIEW is installed. Do this for every local filesystem you might access while in LabVIEW. Use " df -l" to list these filesystems.
