GUI appear very briefly then shutdown after ( possibly ) changing the baud rate in the GUI

[serpico]

I might have change the baudrate on the GUI at one point and now when I launch by typing

scantool

I get

Shutting down Allegro due to signal #6

I can see the GUI window appear for an instant then disappear, so I can't reverse the setting.

I tried to look for a config file were the values for baud rate and COM port would be written/stored, to no avail

I'd appreciate if you could point towards something.

Xubuntu 21.04
scantool installed from distro repo

The options are stored in $HOME/.scantoolrc. Maybe removing that file will clear the crash?

I suspect this is the same problem is fixed here:
#8

I've applied this patch now and hopefully the distro can update the package soon.
