I wanted to report a really annoying problem for mac users. I’m running Athena on my laptop, on OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) with macports. I had to install also quartzX11 to be able to plot data (without it, it couldn’t find the DISPLAY value), but otherwise evrything went smoothly for a few days.

Then the first bug occured. I wasn’t able anymore to select any point on the plotting area to do normalization, I had to set the value in the boxes instead. It was annoying, but I could manage that. But now I have a much more disturbing issue.

Athena once crashed, (in the terminal, it was sait « Terminated 15 »), and every time I tried to launch it again, the same thing happens :

1) athena launch, a little bit longer than usual

2) a box appear to give me choice to recover data by importing it from autosave or not

3) I can’t select anaything and the rainbow wheel of death appears.

After a few hours, nothing changes… and I have to terminate the programm manually.

So I do some search on the internet and found thoses topics on the mailing list, and I tried thoses solutions :

I tried to find the autosave file : nothing

I tried to uninstall and reinstall macports : nothing

I tried to uninstall macports and install the demeter-devel : nothing

In demeter-devel, i tried to modify the athena.demeter_config file, by changing the autosave prompt box value from true to false, and despite being admin on ma mac, I’m not able to change antything in the file. So nothing works at this moment.

I will try again other solutions, but I will gladly accept any kind of help to solve my issues.

Thank you
