Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): drakconf-12.60-1.mga5.src.rpm Linux spike 4.1.15-server-2.mga5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 20 17:37:41 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: 100% - mcc will not open when invoked from gui icon, command line mcc or /usr/bin/drakconf or /usr/sbin/drakconf Steps to Reproduce: 1.double click mcc icon or type "mcc" at a command line, in a konsole window, etc. 2.in a konsole window, watch mcc splash screen appear, threads and code run in konsole window, splash screen disappears and mcc fails. 3."reset" console window to regain control of cli and try to figure out WTH happened Troubleshooting started at the mageia forum: https://forums.mageia.org/en/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10999 Here is the output generated when I attempt to open the control center: http://pastebin.com/22V9Qfby
Running a server kernel because I seem to get better memory management with it. I have not tested it under other kernels, but logically, it should not make a difference. As near as I can tell, I can run the tools under the control center (drak*) just fine. Drakconf is the only thing that is known to fail.
Normal output when running in a terminal, as posted in forums: #14 0x00007f37b41e97c8 in webkit_web_view_init(_WebKitWebView*) () at /lib/../lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 #15 0x00007f37be8b8569 in g_type_create_instance () at /lib/../lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #16 0x00007f37be89c347 in g_object_new_internal () at /lib/../lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #17 0x00007f37be89dc9d in g_object_newv () at /lib/../lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #18 0x00007f37be89e41c in g_object_new () at /lib/../lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 #19 0x00007f37b41e5302 in webkit_web_view_new () at /lib/../lib64/libwebkitgtk-1.0.so.0 #20 0x00007f37b5e9f9fa in () at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/auto/Gtk2/WebKit/WebKit.so #21 0x00007f37c25e48cb in Perl_pp_entersub () at /usr/lib/perl5/5.20.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so #22 0x00007f37c25dd296 in Perl_runops_standard () at /usr/lib/perl5/5.20.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so #23 0x00007f37c256f19e in perl_run () at /usr/lib/perl5/5.20.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so #24 0x0000000000400ea9 in main () Detaching from program: /usr/bin/perl5.20.1, process 1424 From the gdb backtrace in comment 1 it seems to be freshplayerplugin that crashes. Thierry, any idea how to prevent that crash or the impact for drakconf, or how to fix ?

Damn WebKit :-( For the record, for incoming mga6, mcc has been ported to WebKit2 and WK2 has already been explicitly told to disable plugins just in case: http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/control-center/tree/control-center#n685 We may end in backporting mga6's mcc to mga5...

Source RPM: drakconf-12.60-1.mga5.src.rpm => drakconf-12.60-1.mga5.src.rpm, webkit
Mga5 is no more supported. Mga6's mcc uses WK2
