Owl process fail to open
Saturday, February 10, 2024 5:50 AM
Problem(s) Encountered:
When I used owl,there were several errors.
INFO - Checking DS9 version ... done
ERROR - Driver PCI Device 0 failed to open
ERROR - ( CArcPCI::Open() ): Failed to open device ( /dev/astropci0 ) : ( errno: 16 ) - Device or resource busy
ERROR - Not connected to any controller!
Solution:
There were multiple instance of Owl running. The hint is the line about “device or resource busy”. I went in and killed all Owl processes. I also closed a bunch of excess terminals and web browsers to reduce memory usage. I restarted Owl and verified connectivity and functionality. All is well.
