Ubuntu 24.10 - Lazarus 3.0 - Form-Unit issues

Ubuntu 24.10 - Lazarus 3.0 - Form-Unit issues...

I have installed it and it worked fine at the beginning but after a short while it began to fail...

When I add an element to the form, it should normally automatically add it to the unit file, but it stops working after a few elements, and keeps not updating the unit file, and it happens with all element types, when it starts, the element's corresponding unit part fails to be added to the unit file. When it starts, and continues the corresponding element needs to be added manually.

Does anyone else have a similar issue and if so, is there a solution to it?
Maybe it is something for the Lazarus team to fix?!?

I'm looking forward to get some kind of fix or maybe a full solution.

No fixes for Lazarus 3.0 anymore. Lazarus is at version 3.8/4.0RC2. Please try that first.

There is also hardly any use for fixing for something that has an EOL of, what is it.., June 2025 ?

edit: BTW and FWIW I've been able to run Lazarus since at least version 2.2.4 on a Debian based distro. The only thing that truly is able to make Lazarus go haywire is Wayland (and that is due to Wayland not being a finished product. Many Wayland related fixes and workarounds are present in newer versions of Lazarus and in main/trunk). Are you running on a intel/amd based platform or something else perhaps ?

"No fixes for Lazarus 3.0 anymore", I am aware about the new version for Windows, but this is in Linux. The highest version in Ubuntu app Repository, seems to be 3.0.

I have found a solution to the issue though. The solution is to use Dwarf 2 instead of Dwarf 3, that solved my issue.

Thank you for the suggestion though

And in that same way there is a newer Linux version, though not by convenience of your repository. Assuming intel/amd based: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lazarus/files/Lazarus%20Linux%20amd64%20DEB/

BTW: Please don't use your package manager in case you wish to make use of multiple versions or upgrade. Even using FpcUpDeluxe would be a better option.

You mean you the debug format used for Lazarus itself ?

You're welcome, though apparently it wasn't particularly helpful.
