[SOLVED] EasyEffects segmentation fault (core dump) during start up #1462
Comments

I have just discovered, thanks to the posts of Issue #1408, that it works when I login to my gnome session via Wayland. |
Maybe the package in the repository has to be recompiled. I am also on Arch Linux and using GNOME + Wayland. But besides the fact I haven't been doing tests on Xorg I use the development version so I can test it. Considering that we interact with gtk and not with xorg or wayland directly my guess is that the update changed something on gtk or the drivers and the package needs to be recompiled. Something you may try is installing the aur package to see what happens. |

Same issue. Arch + i3. I tried your suggestion, uninstalled EE and installed the ee-git aur package. After restart, exact same crash. I have been able to run EE from the terminal with --gapplication-service, but after a few days, that became unstable from starting and stopping EE, something I've noticed in the past. DEBUG |
I still can't reproduce the crash. Even after trying Try to install the packages The source of this issue seems to be in one of the system libraries we have to use. The changes done to EasyEffects in the last releases are not the ones causing it. |

Something that may help is following the steps given at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Debugging/Getting_traces to install debug symbols for the repository package. With these symbols the output of |

I think I had the same issue, at least the "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" was the same using EE 6.2.4 on Arch Linux with Xorg and Gnome-Shell. Downgrading EE to 6.1.5-2 resolves the issue for me and EE starts without problems again. Maybe you want to try that, @ChrisSassy? I tried all other 6.2.x releases, but only got the segmentation fault using them. Downgrading EE to 6.1.5-2 also downgrades following packages: In the next days I can provide additional information. |

We have a winner! Same termination signal I was getting.
In line with @theraser, I downgraded EE to 6.1.5-2. Nothing else worked in 6.2.x. 6.1.5-2 works as well as it did before. Thanks everyone (at least for now I have an EQ again!)! |

Y'all are awesome!
So one or the other way, the issue is solved for me. Thanks again everyone for the suggestions. 👍 |
|
Update: After a reboot, the issue is back. So either a downgrade of EasyEffects, or using Wayland works. |
The reason is that
If the demo also crashes it is definitely not an EasyEffects issue and should be reported to the gtk's developers. What is weir d is that I have the same version on my computer... |
That is weird. The libadwaita demo also uses gtk4. Maybe a specific gtk4 widget has to be used to cause the crash. |
|
I've restarted twice, logged in and out, a tried clicking every setting in easyeffects. Version 6.1.5-2 is working. I'm going to checkout gtk4, see what issues are showing up, and submit report. I think I will also have a look at switching to Sway and Wayland from i3. Thanks! |

I was in the process of collecting all debug information for opening a bug report at gtk/mesa, but updated my Arch system yesterday. And guess what: gtk4-demo and easyeffects 6.2.4 are now running without problems, even after rebooting the machine! Here is what happend (wayland is installed, but I'm using Xorg at the moment): I removed some updates from the list and updated easyeffects afterwards, but this seem so resolve this issue here. Thanks for your help! |
Sometimes it is hard to understand how system updates can behave so differently from one machine to another. Maybe the fact I update everyday is what avoided the issue on my side. |
