New Release pyILPER 1.8.3

[ThomasF]

Hi Joachim!

This looks amazing - I must give it a try!

EDIT:
After a "clean" install on my Ubuntu machine, the application failed (see below).
After some debugging and googling I found a solution to my problem:
Installing Qt5 on Ubuntu needs some OpenGL libraries, so the following update fixed my problem:

Code:

sudo apt-get install mesa-common-dev

Now it seems to work!

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

But, I tried to follow you installation process on a Ubuntu 20.04 machine with Python 3.8 installed.
I followed the Anaconda installation guide without any problems, but the application fails during startup.

The applications main window opens and I get a dialog saying:
"Serial device not configured: Run pyILper configuration"
and a OK-button, but as soon as I press the OK-button, the application crashes and exits:
"Segmentation fault - memory dump created"
so I never get a chance to run the configuration ...

The PIL-Box is there (/dev/ttyUSB0) and I can access it - so apparently no access faults on the port ...

Same behaviour if I clone the git repository and starts with start.py instead.

Any ideas how I could debug or find out what is missing or failing for me? Smells like something outside of your application ...

Cheers,
