System.InsufficientExecutionStackException when opening UI

[rna0]

I am using postmarketOS (linux alpine) on an arm64 device.
Upon opening the UI I get the ERROR 500 on the ui:

in the terminal i get the following error re-printed every 2 seconds:

I do not use any third party plugin and all asf functionality is working from command line.

the basic log I get everytime I open ASF:

This issue is most likely related with OS limits or resources, I don't see anything to fix or improve in ASF code regarding that.

Log in as the target user you run ASF as (not root), then show output of ulimit -a.

Hello, thanks for the fast response.
this is the result of running the command: ulimit -a

Max locked memory looks pretty low, it's 1004072 on my Debian system running also on arm64.

Try to raise the maximum limit using command below, then run ASF, see if it helps.

ulimit -l 1004072

If that doesn't help, see if you can reproduce when running ASF as root.

[rna0]

• I was unable to get the ulimit -l 1004072 command to work; perhaps it's because I am connecting via SSH.
• I also attempted to run ASF as root but encountered the same issue. It appears that granting root access does not alter the maximum locked memory limit.
• My lack of knowledge might be the issue, but I tried modifying /etc/security/limits.conf by adding:

  * soft memlock 1004072
  * hard memlock 1004072
  

  However, it didn't make any difference.

[JustArchi]

Sadly memlock might not be an issue to begin with, it was just a wild guess of mine based on comparing mine with yours.

The only remaining idea I have is that you can download arm64 build of dotnet then attempt to run generic version of ASF. Perhaps musl that your OS uses has some different functionality and there is some incompatibility between one and another.

You can use https://gist.github.com/JustArchi/b5ec81de41a32fc77df8816716691918 for obtaining dotnet on arm64.

I uninstalled my previous .NET installation and replaced it with the one from the script as recommended. Unfortunately, it didn’t resolve the error. I ultimately decided to switch to an x64 Debian-based server, and ASF worked flawlessly there. Thanks for all your assistance and the back-and-forth discussion!
