In the next two days I will not do much on the PC, so I will probably have little opportunity to answer. So please donāt get it wrong if it takes a little time for me to answer. In any case, thank you in advance for your efforts, tips and help.
I opened on 22.04, current master, and ran with and without opencl. No problems. However, I did get a message about the missing LUT, so in order to get a complete test, the LUT would be required.
One more info: When I had just switched on my computer, I received the message that there was an update. A new Linux kernel has been installed (6.8.0-51-generic)). Of course, I installed the update immediately.
Then I tested again how DT behaves and therefore developed images. I had the impression that DT now runs a little more stable. In any case, it took much longer for DT to crash.
I suspect that the problem is the graphics card driver not being updated. But as already written: I canāt update it at the moment because I canāt/donāt want to take any risks.
@wpferguson asked if you could share the LUT you used in the sample file. Just to be sure that we can run a complete test.
Working with hardware/driver which might have a problem is also risky ā¦
At the very least, you should be very conscientious when creating backups as long as the cause of the crashes has not been identified.
Have you tried to start darktable with empty .config and .cache ? There are repeated reports of crashes caused by damaged darktablerc, data.db, library.db or caches. See darktable user manual - darktable , --configdir, --datadir, --cachedir
Many thanks to everyone for your tips, hints and tests.
I think Iāll bring my Ubuntu to 24.04 from mid-March and then update the graphics card driver.
From what Iāve seen and read so far, it should work after that. Until then, I can still work with function 4.8. Thatās not an issue.
In another forum, it was suggested to me that the combination of the latest version of DT and the Nvidia driver 470 canāt work well and I should definitely update.
This worked for me.
DT crashed at the start.
I renamed the darktable directories in .cache and .config and it worked.
Probably because of the update to version 5.0.0.
