Description of problem: Pidgin causes access violation and won't start Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pidgin-2.14.1-4.mga8 How reproducible: Start pidgin from terminal, error message (in german): WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, testing use only. Pidgin 2.14.1 hat einen Speicherzugriffsfehler festgestellt und versucht, eine Core-Datei zu schreiben. Dies ist ein Fehler im Programm und kein Fehler von Ihnen. Wenn Sie den Absturz reproduzieren können, informieren Sie bitte die Entwickler mit einem Fehlerbericht auf: http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/ Bitte geben Sie unbedingt an, was Sie getan haben als der Fehler aufgetreten ist, und posten Sie den Backtrace aus der Core-Datei.

Thank you for reporting this, and sorry for the angst. [To get English console messages, one can do] $ LANG=C <command> I have just installed pidgin-2.14.1-4.mga8 to try. From the menu - nothing. From a terminal, as reported above: $ pidgin Couldn't create plugins dir WARNING: lavapipe is not a conformant vulkan implementation, testing use only. Pidgin 2.14.1 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file. This is a bug in the software and has happened through no fault of your own. If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the developers by reporting a bug at: http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/ Please make sure to specify what you were doing at the time and post the backtrace from the core file. If you do not know how to get the backtrace, please read the instructions at http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/GetABacktrace Aborted (core dumped) --------------------- This is clear enough: "This is a bug in the software ... If you can reproduce the crash, please notify the developers by reporting a bug at: http://developer.pidgin.im/simpleticket/" So can you please do that? And then put the URL of the Pidgin bug in the URL field at the top of this bug. I would not get bogged down in the backtrace unless they press you. Leaving this with Bugsquad for the moment; CC'ing Shlomi for the SRPM, for info.

Problem is with vulkan. In pidgin is not implemented. After I uninstalled lib64gstvulkan1.0_0-1.18.2-1.mga8.tainted.x86_64 pidgin is working.

Well, thank you Dusan for that information. I tried uninstalling 'lib64gstvulkan1.0_0', but it wanted to take too many things with it (so I did not): cheese-3.38.0-1.mga8.x86_64 gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-1.18.2-1.mga8.tainted.x86_64 parole-1.0.5-2.mga8.x86_64 sound-juicer-3.38.0-1.mga8.x86_64 xplayer-2.2.9-1.mga8.x86_64 I cannot find any connection between lib64gstvulkan1.0_0 & pidgin: $ urpmq --requires-recursive pidgin | grep vulkan lib64mesavulkan-drivers lib64vulkan-loader1 $ urpmq --whatrequires-recursive lib64gstvulkan1.0_0 | grep pidgin $ --- @Christian : can you please try comment 2 recommendation, and report back?

That works for me, too. - gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-1.18.2-1.mga8.tainted.x86_64 - lib64gstvulkan1.0_0-1.18.2-1.mga8.tainted.x86_64 - rygel-0.40.0-1.mga8.x86_64 had to be uninstalled.
Thank you both for this strange remedy & its confirmation. 'lib64gstvulkan1.0_0' is in 'gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad', no consistent maintainer. Assigning the bug to Shlomi for Pidgin. Pass it on if you prefer.

According to comment in Fedora bugzilla the problem is coming from mesa 20.3.x. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1911130#c1 I'll disable vulkan support in gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad for now.

Please test after gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-1.18.2-2.mga8 hits the mirrors. It's built without vulkan support and obsoletes old gstvulkan pkgs.

With "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad-1.18.2-2.mga8" pidgin starts and runs normal.
Closing as FIXED. Feel free to reopen if needed.
