Bug 32466

Created attachment 14119 [details]
CLI output when starting synfigstudio in cauldron

In cauldron, with the same synfigstudio version & release as in Mga9, the program crashes, too. See attachment.

The last two lines before being notified of the segfault are:

(synfigstudio:139001): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 21:40:26.116: g_object_get_qdata: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(synfigstudio:139001): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 21:40:26.116: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed


I suppose it can run without plugins? There are also these lines:
mlt_repository_init: no plugins found in "/usr/lib64/mlt-7"
synfig(139079) [21:41:37] warning: Can't read plugin directory: Error opening directory “/home/marja/.config/synfig/plugins”: No such file or directory

Hi,
Is there any news about this issue?
Despite keeping my system updated, I am still unable to use synfigstudio on my system.

For information, the error related to the pluugins directory can probably be solved by simply creating it outsied the program.

Furtermore, I discovered that if I use a full new installation of Mageia (instead of an upgrade or from using the live distribution) then synfigstudio seems to work properly .

As far as my system is concerned installing from scratch Mageia 9 would involved a lot of work due to the configuration I am using.

If I remember well, I think I installed Mageia  from the live distribution and simply updated the system each time it was necessary.

Could thee be a difference beteeen the full installation version and the live version regarding possible libraries?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pascal.

PS: Being still in January, I wish all the people from Mageia teams a very healthy and happy new year.

Thanks Pascal, best wishes from us to you, too.

Hi,
Trying to understand a bit further this issue, I found 2 interesting points. Her they are with the hope it can help you...

1- Running synfigstudio in GDB, I get the following information
.
.
.
synfig(269850) [19:08:38] info: Loading Settings...
[New Thread 0x7fffb7fff6c0 (LWP 269885)]

0x00007ffff7fbd99e in idle_cb () from /usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so
(gdb) 


2- If I remember correctly, I installed Mageia 9 from scratch on a dual-boot laptop (the other OS is Kubuntu). I installed and then checked synfigstudio and it worked well. I continued to install various software mainly dealing with photo and video processing. I fixed some issues like for instance the laptop not being able to wake up from hibernate. Once I thought my laptop was more or less functional, I checked by curiosity synfigstudio. Unfortunately it does not work anymore.

The crash occurs in libcanberra. The fix for libcanberra is this:

https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/libcanberra/-/raw/debian/latest/debian/patches/gtk-module-Handle-display-closing-gracefully.patch?ref_type=heads

applying this patch to current libcanberra would make synfigstudio not crashing anymore. Feel free to open a new bug for libcanberra and apply this patch.

So ok let's try the fix done for both mga9 and Cauldron! Thanks Giuseppe :)
