OBS Studio Crash Log URL
No response
Expected Behavior
Settings menu opens
Current Behavior
Computer freezes and will not respond even if waiting for many minutes
Steps to Reproduce
flatpak run com.obsproject.Studio- Click settings
- Crash occurs ...
Anything else we should know?
I'm not skilled at debugging crashes like these that require hard resets so please tell me step-by-step what to do to get you the right information. Thanks!
For using gdb in the Flatpak (src):
$ flatpak install org.freedesktop.Sdk.Debug com.obsproject.Studio.Debug # Optional: Install OBS Studio debug symbols
$ flatpak run --command=sh --devel com.obsproject.Studio
$ gdb /app/bin/obs
Once gdb ready, run by entering the command r and reproduce the crash.
Once done, you should be able to enter the command bt. Message the output of this command.
You can quit by entering the command q.
After waiting about 5 minutes the settings dialogue did eventually open, which means this is not a crash, but a temporary freeze issue.
I ran the gdb /app/bin/obs command and the file uploaded below is what I got, which I have copied from the terminal rather than piped to file. bt only gave one line of output but maybe I was using the command incorrectly.
Similar issue, mine crashes when pressing setting on Arch using the git version of obs.

Glad to know it's not just me
The nvidia open source driver Wayland on Ubuntu 22 also crashes when recording
similar to an issue i'm having, but it only does it when trying to select a window to share
at least in my case, the system can be recovered if OBS is killed from another TTY, and it seems to log no error
