Waveforms not running on a Raspberry Pi 4

[AaronD]

I downloaded and installed the Adept Runtime, and then the Waveforms software itself:

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/digilent.adept.runtime_2.27.9-armhf.deb
sudo apt install ~/Downloads/digilent.waveforms_3.20.1_armhf.deb

That seemed to go smoothly.

Then I plugged in my Analog Discovery 2 and launched Waveforms.  It found the hardware, then closed on its own.  So I tried it on the command line to see if it would print a useful error message:

aaron@Aaron-PiTab:~ $ /usr/bin/waveforms
Bus error
aaron@Aaron-PiTab:~ $ 

Running it with the USB unplugged, gets as far as to choose what to emulate, but as soon as I close that window, the whole thing closes too:

aaron@Aaron-PiTab:~ $ /usr/bin/waveforms

I have another Pi 4 that I installed a few months ago, and it works perfectly.  What's different now?

Edit: Rebooting doesn't help.

Hi @AaronD

You could try to update the system:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt fix-broken install

You can also try a newer WF version, currently the latest build for arm is 3.20.24:

I had just updated earlier that day, but I tried again anyway.  Nothing to update.

--fix-broken didn't find anything broken either.

But the digilent.waveforms_beta_3.20.24_armhf.deb worked.  sudo apt installed it, shutdown, waited a couple seconds, started back up, and it's happy!

Thank you!
