[Bug]: Segmentation Fault Caused by InitSystemTray (Linux)

[Raeitus]

What happened?

Had to install libayatana-appindicator for it to launch first per instructions or it wouldn't launch.

After that, when I try to launch the bin file, it pops up the blank GUI then closes itself.

have you tried this package? https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/libappindicator-gtk3/

[Raeitus]

I actually already had libappindicator-gtk3 installed for other programs, but it didn't work. I would get the error:

./chaldea: error while loading shared libraries: libayatana-appindicator3.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libayatana-appindicator is what provides usr/lib/libayatana-appindicator3.so.1, which fixes the above library error.

[narumi147]

tbh I have no idea since it's plugin issue and no detail stacktrace given by plugin. I will remove InitSystemTray at startup unless user turn on the setting. Just a temp solution to skip it.

Sorry to ping you @Hoithmach , what's your system distribution exactly? got confused last time. Is the latest version of this app still working on your machine? Thanks.

[Raeitus]

I'll test the new version once you release it to see if it is actually being caused by the system tray and will let you know if that fixes the issue.

I was surprised that it didn't really provide much info to debug the issue in the terminal. Just Segmentation fault doesn't really explain much :/

[narumi147]

Have a try on beta version. https://github.com/chaldea-center/chaldea/releases/tag/beta

[Raeitus]

The beta version works without any issues besides:

If I go in and toggle the system tray, the program crashes:

method call InitSystemTray
[1]    23712 segmentation fault (core dumped)  ./chaldea

When I go back into the program, it remains untoggled. So this must be a bug with the system tray. Well, at least I can use this for now!

[narumi147]

yeah, it will remember toggle state, so if you crashed, the next startup will also crash. Since app cannot know it was crashed, you have to delete/turn off the option in settings.json -> showSystemTray to reset.

[narumi147]

Do you have Ubuntu to test it? (v2.3.6) I wonder shall I disable it for all Linux or just non-Ubuntu.

[Raeitus]

Tested v2.3.6

Ubuntu Worked out of the box.

Zorin OS (Ubuntu-based) Had to install libayatana-appindicator3, libayatana-ido3, and then needed a newer glibc version (?) which I couldn't figure out on Zorin.

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Had to install libayatana-appindicator3, which automatically installed the other dependencies such as libayatana-ido3. Worked.

Fedora Have to install libayatana-appindicator3, but I was unable to find the package. I don't know my way around Fedora.

[narumi147]

Thanks for testing!

Can you update the OS version + glibc version too, for further investigation.

glibc is also a problem on Ubuntu 18 which stop me testing it on my end. I don't know how to correctly upgrade glibc either. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Very late to respond, sorry. I don't think GitHub notified me at all.

In case you're still looking for an answer: I am also running Arch Linux on my main machine although I have access to several others, sorry to confuse you. I did experience a similar situation as described in this bug report with a previous version of Chaldea, however upgrading to the latest 2.4.4 release just now and installing libayatana-appindicator (on Arch Linux) appears to have resolved the issue.

I tested Ubuntu too - Works as expected after installing libayatana-appindicator3-dev. The only question I have is does it make sense to exchange the instructions for libayatana-appindicator3-dev (151MB of libraries) for libayatana-appindicator3-1 (~400KB)? Both appear to work fine, but perhaps there is a reason I'm unaware of that the former is needed?

I'm happy to try look into the glibc problem as well, if you think it's still relevant?

[narumi147]

The previous package is dead for long time, moved to a new tray package. please have a try of beta release on each Linux to test the system tray.

[narumi147]

If there is any issue on Linux system tray or window close, open a new issue instead.
