The update to etherape-0.9.14 brought the following regressions: - lots of (debug?) output tagged with 'EtherApe-INFO:' - the program cannot be exited cleanly: regardless of using the menu or plain 'kill' it will just hang and ultimately has to be killed using 'kill -9'.
Hi Martin, Thanks for reporting this. I can confirm I was also unable to quit EtherApe 0.9.14 without a forced kill -9. This behaviour no longer exists for me with the latest 0.9.16 which I committed to the ports head branch today, and I will therefore close this bug report. Can you please test the new version, and if you do find it still has this issue for you, please re-open this bug report. Thanks, Ben
Hi Ben, Thank you for the fix, it works. Only the many INFO messages on the console still remain, it would be good to get rid of them as well. -- Martin
Created attachment 191275 [details] Screenshot - Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome with EtherApe 0.9.15 - Console debug info Hi Martin, This console debug info appears to be the default behaviour of EtherApe across various operating systems. Please see the attached screenshot which shows the same behaviour on Ubuntu 17.10. If this screenshot is showing the same debug info you are referring to, then I suggest you file a bug report with the upstream EtherApe project to change this behaviour. The FreeBSD port is just following the default upstream behaviour. If however this screenshot does not show the debug info you are referring to, then please let me know (perhaps attach a screenshot of your own to explain the issue further). Regards, Ben
Hello, Yes it is the same output. I have seen in the sources that it is possible to suppress the most annoying of these messages (about nodes being added or deleted) by invoking the program like this: APE_DEBUG= etherape ... The etherape developers must have changed the default from previous versions where such output did not appear. -- Martin
