DT 5.5.0-338, self compiled, Ubuntu 24.04.4. gcc 13.3.0
I always do a clean build (I delete everything before building and installing).
When trying to use color picker module in area mode, DT crashes. I tried to find a pattern, not possible, so this issue is sporadic, but it happens.
This must be new, I didn’t see it in 5.4. or 5.4.1.
Any ideas, how could I narrow this down? I saved the last log with the crash, if that could help.
Why you dont share the log?
As you seem to have several issues with that same build, it might be an idea to delete your full source install (git checkout?) and re-download it, including all submodules. That could at least ensure your copy of the code is clean and consistent.
If you work with the master branch, there’s always a possibility you hit a version with a (transient) bug: see the descriptions in the README.md file.(*)
(*: The risk of such issues is reason enough for me to stay away from the master branch)
I tried this, I still see the issues.
@g-man the log file, generated with darktable -d all -d verbose:
log.zip (8.2 MB)
Yes, I’m aware of this. I just want to try the new commits and report any error I find. This way I can learn more about DT and contribute to the community, as much as I can. This is desired, isn’t it?
So, staying away from master branch is not for me. 
Oof, 8.2 MB zipped → 165 MB unzipped… And it doesn’t look like that run finished in a crash?
That’s all I have left from that session, from DT start till crash. How to log more about the crash?
It doesnt look like dt crashed at all. It looks like it was closed correctly.
You are using -d all -d verbose, can your terminal handle all of that data/memory? Why are you using these flags?
Also, you have multiple threads showing issues with your system and it get confusing to read thru all of them. I recommend you keep things all in one thread.
In one of the threads I see that you are building Release. I recommend you use RelWithDebInfo. This way we might have some extra information.
After a RelwithDebInfo, try to only edit one image using the color picker area mode until it crashes. Try to use -d common -d pipe.
Ok, I’ll try RelWithDebInfo, thanks. 
I opened more threads, because, at the first sight, these issues are not related …
I redirect output to a file. Geez, I forgot to redirect also stderr…
