Segmentation fault when opening

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago • 7 comments

I just installed TheShell on my computer and it crashes after logging in. I have it running alongside Cinnamon. It comes up with a segmentation fault error. I'm unable to start the setup process.

Computer: Dell Inspiron 5570 Operating system: Linux Mint 19.1

Is there a "View Debugging Information" in the bottom right corner of the crash screen? Can you please send me the contents of that output if it's available.

How did you install theShell?

I installed the stable build of theShell using the Ubuntu 18.04 instructions you have listed on your website. This is the best picture I can get of the debugging information:

Low quality phone image

I couldn't get a screenshot or paste this anywhere, so this is the best I could get.

Can you tell me what version of Qt is installed on the system? Looks like some Qt plugins provided by the repository aren't being loaded correctly.

I have qt version 5.9.5.

Sorry about the delay

That's interesting, maybe I need to do a rebuild on my end. Do you know how to attach a debugger like gdb and get a backtrace that way?

I just realised this was due to missing dependencies, installed the following an dit starts now: contemporary-widgets-gtk contemporary-widgets contemporary-icon contemporary-cursors Looks like the PKGFILE needs updating
