[SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

I've done a fresh installation, Arch + Plasma. Sigil starts but crashes when you try to use it. I have another Arch installation in the same PC (Gnome Desktop) and this doesn't happen.

Sorry but no more information. I tried

gdb sigil

but I get this message:

"/usr/bin/sigil": not in executable format: File format not recognized

Qt 5.5.1 solved this issue

To run sigil in gdb:

gdb /usr/share/sigil/sigil-real

I am investigating the problem.
Both sigil and sigil-git crash in Plasma. Under Lxqt all is fine!
If I cannot find the problem I will send a bug report.

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

The bug has already been closed.

It seems that the variables QT_PLUGIN_PATH and possibly QML2_IMPORT_PATH must be unset
Reference
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-46714

Some other could test this?

I have tried

export  QT_PLUGIN_PATH=; sigil

and

unset QT_PLUGIN_PATH; sigil

but I have always a segmentation fault

Same here. Segmentation fault persists.

Thanks for your interest, hifi25nl.

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

Plasma 5 does not set that path anymore since 5.4.0, see the commit:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=plasma-work … 9d469c2fc1

Sigil (same for sigil-git) does run when compiled with clang on plasma 5 with Qt.5.5, but it is rather useless, segfaults on almost any action.

Just been searching around on this issue and found that running sudo sigil works (not a great solution I know)

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

This is crashing on the kde integration plugin, as a workaround unset XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

No way, it always crash...

[piero@archlinux ~]$ env | grep XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION
[piero@archlinux ~]$ unset XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION; sigil
Errore di segmentazione (core dump creato)
[piero@archlinux ~]$

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

Sorry, that should be XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, not XDG_DESKTOP_SESSION

Still crashes:

[yorick@Arch-Plasma ~]$ unset XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP; sigil

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

Any news?

Unset XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP doesn't work; but while

sudo sigil

works,

sudo -E sigil

doesn't... so it must be an enviroment variable.

EDIT: I've found a solution

unset KDE_FULL_SESSION; sigil

It works, but no Plasma/QT5 theme nor Plasma font settings.

Re: [SOLVED] Sigil segfaults (only) in Plasma 5

Qt 5.5.1 update solved this issue. Can you confirm it?
