But there are no files in the end, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?

Thanks for this screenshot.

From console log in original post line 1:

sudo ./OpenBCI_GUI

This appears to happen even when running as admin.

I just re-tested on my Linux machine and I was unable to replicate this issue. Marking as "Rare".

Up to 4.1.2 inclusively it works, from 4.1.3 on not anymore. I suspect it has to do with creating the files locally in the same folder vs creating them in /Documents.
Will resort to 4.1.2 for now. Thank you for your patience @retiutut ^^

Could this be caused by directory permissions of some kind? I think the file channel gets opened directly to the Documents/directory in 4.1.6.

This is indicated in the line

OpenBCI_GUI: openNewLogFile: opened ODF output file: /root/Documents/OpenBCI_GUI/Recordings/OpenBCISession_2019-11-08_20-36-05/OpenBCI-RAW-2019-11-08_20-36-20.txt

Maybe for linux only we could write the file temporarily to the data directory and then copy it to Documents/Recordings/OpenBCI_SessionXXX/when the data stream closes.

I just managed to make it work by running it without sudo. The output folder changed to the correct one, /home/<user>/Documents instead of /root/Documents.

I remember having tried this before but then I wasn't able to actually start streaming unless I ran it with sudo.

Hi ,

I have the following issue. Could anyone help me out ? I also cannot connect. All ports seem to be busy.
Don't know what the issue is.
I tried to run openBCI in another PC with the latest openBCI GUI, it works but not in my new PCs.

Thanks
