Kubuntu install unable to access config files

Open lipe123 opened this issue 1 month ago • 13 comments

Hey All, First I apologize that this will be an incomplete report, I set up remote access and the pc went to sleep just before I got home... I will fill in the blanks soon!

I installed Quelea using the built in snap installer thing on kubuntu, everything works kinda but it keeps freezing up completely and I have to terminate it.

When I looked at /var/log/syslog there were loads of IO errors around a user.preferences (I think since I don't have it infront of me) and various other errors about the java process being unable to get a file lock.

From what I searched there should typically be a ~/.java folder where these preferences are stored in the users folder like /home//.java the same with the /.quelea/ folder that should have all the config data like the preferences settings, images, themes etc.

However on this install all the /.quelea/ stuff was in /snap/something/something

So of course there is a permission issue where the logged in user doesn't have access to something but I don't know what the folder is that its trying to access to grant the extra permissions. I also don't know if there is a better way to install quelea so it just stores everything directly in /home//.quelea and /.java/

Any suggestions on what I can change or where to look? Or of a better way to install it other than the snap package manager thing?

The snap locations are expected if installing via the snap - but it shouldn't freeze! It might be worth trying to install teh cross-platform version and see if that's any better, if you want to try to use that to debug? (You'll need to install a version of Java with JavaFX first though.)

Just to add what I'm seeing in syslog: 2025-11-12T11:55:19.312365-07:00 Soundbooth quelea[65423]: Nov 12, 2025 11:55:19 AM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences checkLockFile0ErrorCode 2025-11-12T11:55:19.312623-07:00 Soundbooth quelea[65423]: WARNING: Could not lock User prefs.

The directory that has all the config seems to be in: /home/church/snap/quelea/common/.quelea/

I can create files and folders in that subdir with no issue, so is there some kinda issue with the mapping in snap that doesnt map to that directory?

I was really hoping to keep it simple and just use snap cause I'm very much a linux noob still.

edit the quelea debug log shows no issues at all, for example when removing a song it shows: Nov 12, 2025 12:03:22 PM org.quelea.data.db.SongManager removeSongs INFO: Removing songs [18] Nov 12, 2025 12:03:23 PM org.quelea.data.db.SongManager removeSongs INFO: Removed song [18]

But the little progressbar popup does not appear and the application just freezes completely until i terminate and open it again. The song will be deleted and everything worked but it froze up completely.

Just to double check, are you using the latest/stable channel or the edge channel? Stable should definitely work, but it's worth giving edge a try if it doesn't, in case something has been fixed there.

Ok Sorry I'm figuring out this slowly, the issue might also be Apparmor. This was my clue in syslog: kernel: audit: type=1400 audit(1762974868.644:344): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" class="file" profile="snap.quelea.quelea" name="/lib64/" pid=143601 comm=4A6176614658204170706C69636174 requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=0

If i disable it as a test using sudo systemctl stop apparmor
I can delete a song from the DB with the popup progressbar and it doesnt freeze, BUT when I try to delete a second one no popup and everything freezes up again.

I tried to edit the apparmor profile file with the help of AI but it still does the same thing. The first song i delete works and then when i try and remove another one everything freezes up.

Stable yes 2024.0

I switched it to edge 2024.1 And low and behold no issues deleting two songs in a row!!!

Looks like that might be the fix for now, hopefully someone doesn't push a broken thing into edge or is it still tested pretty well before new additions?

lipe123 avatar Nov 12 '25 19:11 lipe123

Awesome - unfortunately edge isn't particularly well tested before release I'm afraid so while we do try to avoid issues, I can't make any guarantees. We are working towards another stable release however in the new year.

Thanks,

Michael

This was a known issue in some earlier edge releases - but it should now be fixed. Would you be able to update to the latest edge release and try again?

Thanks,

Michael

Ooh okay, I did try to check for updates and there was no updated listed in the package manager, I guess I'd have to uninstall and re-install to get the current one?

lipe123 avatar Dec 01 '25 15:12 lipe123

sudo snap refresh quelea --channel=edge

...should ensure that it's on the latest release.

Can you send over your database_new folder (in .quelea) to see if I can recreate this end?

And still doing the same thing, anytime I try and edit or add a song to the DB it shows "updating database..." but it does not add anything to the DB and any updates to existing items cause them to disappear.

I exported the DB as a songpack. Then renamed database_new to database_broken. Ran quelea, new blank db, imported song pack and at the moment its working.

I attached the db folder that was causing the issue. Thanks for all the support sofar!

database_broken.zip
