VITIS HLS GUI often crashes with NICE DCV

Hi Young,

Is there a 'solution' folder created by vitis_hls? One way to check if it's an issue with the GUI is to run vitis_hls in command line mode.
The folder might have a script.tcl file and running it successfully on the command line might show an issue with either the tool or the Gnome GUI.

To run manually:

vitis_hls -f script.tcl

Another thing to check: does /var/log/messages show any errors worth looking at on the OS side that could cause such a crash?
Let me know if this doesn't help.

Thanks so much for looking into the problem.
Launching from the command line is working fine - it appears to be a GUI problem.

Here is /var/log/messages. Should I adjust the resolution of DCV before launching Vitis HLS?

Hi Young,

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the Gnome terminal server or if it is an actual issue related to the Xilinx tool.
I can suggest trying a different desktop manager with a different terminal emulator.

sudo yum --enablerepo=epel -y groups install "MATE Desktop"
sudo bash -c 'echo PREFERRED=/usr/bin/mate-session > /etc/sysconfig/desktop'
echo "/usr/bin/mate-session" > ~/.Xclients && chmod +x ~/.Xclients
#Reboot after this step
sudo systemctl start dcvserver
sudo dcv create-session --name my-session --user centos --owner centos my-session

You should be able to use the mate terminal after this and try it out.
Let me know if that also causes this issue.
