[Solved] Crashes in the file browser mode

foto · January 5, 2025, 9:04pm

The ART version is irrelevant. It crashed on startup every second day or every third day. It happened with 1.23, 1.24.1, 1.24.4 and now with 1.24.5.

To get around it:

delete the .cache/ART
delete the .cache/Thumbnails
delete the .cache/mesa_shader_cache

Then I have a few sessions without problem until… Often it involves filtering with colours and I forget to disable it when I exit.

I’m convinced that it’s somehow related to me:

How can I track what’s causing the crashes? a command line option? a log? a debug?

Thanks

How ART is installed on your system?

If it was me I’d build a debug version from sources and analyze the core file in gdb after a crash.

darix · January 5, 2025, 9:19pm

there is an ART-debuginfo/ART-debugsource package.

apostel338 · January 5, 2025, 9:19pm

Will monitor this thread. Also get crashes since 2 or 3 versions that are easy to reproduce for me.

I’m not familiar with compiling and debug stuff. If anyone is willing to provide a debug build, I’m willing to try getting more information.

tankist02 · January 6, 2025, 12:05am

Could not reproduce your crash while switching between different places. Though I might have a different setup:

Fedora 41
ART built from latest sources
I use default English language

I downloaded ART from: https://github.com/artpixls/ART/releases

and copied to /opt/

Did the same with starting from the command line as in the video and for it immediately crashed with:

 $ /opt/art-1.24.5/ART

Summary        : Backend library for libproxy, handles plugin loading
Description    : 
    libproxy is a library that provides automatic proxy configuration
    management.

    Proxy autoconfiguration (PAC) requires JavaScript (which most
    applications do not have), and determing the PAC script location
    requires a WPAD protocol implementation, which complicates proxy
    support. libproxy exists to abstract this issue and provides
    an answer how to reach a certain network resource.

Yes, that’s what I’m saying.

Most likely either some wrong/missing path, wrong/missing environmental variable or a different version of some library.

For me, this started with 1.23. Until then ART was rock solid. All the crashes happen in the file browser.

darix · January 6, 2025, 12:56am

Just curious … you know that we have ART in the OBS, which is actively maintained as you can see here

foto · January 6, 2025, 1:12am

No! I didn’t know
Just installed after the crash that I just described WITHOUT deleting the cache and so far it’s working

Marked as solved and thanks

CTL support for leap is on its way

And is now accepted.

agriggio · January 6, 2025, 6:59am

Hi, can you try this and see if it is any better?
https://github.com/artpixls/ART/releases/download/nightly/ART-8f87b7f-linux64.tar.xz

Thanks!

Nope, I get the same undefined symbol and failure to load:

/opt/art-1.24.5a/ART
Gtk-Message: 06:35:57.119: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
/usr/lib64/libproxy/libpxbackend-1.0.so: undefined symbol: g_strv_builder_unref

/opt/art-1.24.5a/ART: line 22:  7557 Segmentation fault      (core dumped) "$d/ART.bin" "$@"

The one from darix works without the CTL support. I can live without the CTL for the next couple of month.

Thanks

agriggio · January 6, 2025, 2:59pm

Thanks, but I was actually asking @apostel338

apostel338 · January 6, 2025, 3:39pm

Thanks for the test-build. Getting the same crash as fast as in the regular release, just without the “pixman” error messages in the terminal. (Pretty much same output like Syv)

agriggio · January 6, 2025, 3:52pm

Good, as that’s what the change was supposed to address. As for the other output, I suspect the binary build is not as self-contained as I thought. What linux distribution and version are you running?

apostel338 · January 6, 2025, 4:09pm

Tumbleweed.

agriggio · January 6, 2025, 6:14pm

Thanks. Did you try the OBS pacakge then? Do you get the same crash?
