[KPhotoAlbum] kphotoalbum crashes at start

[Johannes Zarl-Zierl]

Hi Rupert,

I'm forwarding this to the regular list in case somebody else uses the same
ppa...

Johannes

It is the Version from the Repository: ppa:dominik-stadler/dsta-xenial-ppa

When starting from commandline (also with kphotoalbum --demo) the
program
crashes immediately.
OS: Linux Kubuntu xenial
Kphotoalbum Vers. 4.7.2
Any idea?

Do you use a packaged version of KPA, or did you compile it from source?
If you don't use the distro package, the most common reason for crash on
startup is a change in libraries (normally because of a system update). In
that case, simply rebuilding and reinstalling KPhotoAlbum will eliminate
the crash.
Cheers,
Johannes

I just tested the same PPA on my xenial box and everything works with
the demo database (this box does not yet have my photos copied over).
Can you run "ldd /usr/bin/kphotoalbum" and make sure every library is
found? In other words; following command should print nothing:

ldd /usr/bin/kphotoalbum | grep "not found"

If every library is found, then we could take a look at your
kphotoalbumrc that is a configuration file for KPA
~/.kde/share/config/kphotoalbumrc

Those are the two things that come to mind that might cause the problem.

Well, I don't think the kphotoalbumrc is the culprit here. Works fine
with that for me. Might be related to operating system language as
well.

Maybe you could try to get a core file and send that for analysis. Run
the following commands on a terminal:

ulimit -c unlimited
kphotoalbum -demo

On my system this will produce a file called "core" to the current
directory, however, it could end up elsewhere as well depending on the
system configuration. If you can locate the core file and send it
over, then we should have something to work with...

miika

Good morning.

ldd /usr/bin/kphotoalbum | grep "not found" -->> no output
~/.kde/share/config/kphotoalbumrc -->> attached

Yesterday I re-installed the program after completely removing.
Hope you find a problem in the RC-file.

Well, at least it looks like my system is using Qt4 and the crash log
is talking about Qt5. (I am running Xubuntu, so this system might be
quite different from yours)

Anyway, looks like you are running out of memory (if I read the crash
log correctly). Does anyone else have any idea, what is going on?

It seems like the dynamic linker somehow decided to link against Qt5.
kphotoalbum 4.7 obviously won't work with Qt5.

Rupert: did your package manager give any warning when you installed
kphotoalbum?

What does the output of "apt-cache depends kphotoalbum" say? What does "ldd
`which kphotoalbum` |grep Qt" say?

Johannes

[Johannes Zarl-Zierl]

Hi,

kphotoalbum

[...]

The package dependencies look fine to me.
[...]

libQtXml.so.4 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQtXml.so.4

[...]

libQt5Xml.so.5 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libQt5Xml.so.5

[...]

This is definitely the problem. A package cannot link to both Qt4 and Qt5.
KPhotoAlbum 4.x must only link to Qt4.

Most probably a dependency of kphotoalbum updated to Qt5 without properly
changing the soname, thus allowing kphotoalbum to be linked against the wrong
version.

You should be able to find the problematic package by looking at the output of
"ldd --verbose `which kphotoalbum`"

HTH,
Johannes

Hi Dominik,

I'm taking you in to this thread because I think there might be a packaging
bug.

Short(ish) summary of the situation:

Rupert Mohr uses the kphotoalbum 4.7.2 from your xenial ppa.
On his system, kphotoalbum crashes at startup.
Looking at the output of ldd, his kphotoalbum binary links to both Qt4 and Qt5
libraries.

The Qt5 libraries seems to be transitively linked via either of these:
libkipi.so.11
libkface.so.3
libkgeomap.so.2

Looking at the build log[1], there is indeed a kf5 package (libkf5kipi-data)
mentioned.

Is it possible, that this is the cause for the linker problem?

Cheers,
Johannes

All,


Maybe this is of interest.

I have a working Kphotoalbum 4.7.2 using Dominiks ppa on Linux Mint 18, Cinnamon.

I remember that when I first installed it I also had the crash on startup problem. I subsequently uninstalled it and re-installed 4.7 from the regular Mint repository. Some days ago I tried the ppa again and this time it worked.

If I can help with any other information let me know.
