[SOLVED] Can't start Xournal++ - crashes immediately

Hi,

I was trying to install Xournal++ and it crashes immediately.

It seems to be related to audio. I wonder if it's because I'm using Pipewire as a Pulseaudio drop-in replacement ?

Here's the console output:

** Message: 18:30:33.202: TEXTDOMAINDIR = (null), Platform-specific locale dir = /usr/share/xournalpp/../locale, chosen directory = /usr/share/xournalpp/../locale

Does anyone have a hint what might be wrong ?

Can you post that crash log from /home/nik/.cache/xournalpp/errorlogs/errorlog.20220115-183033.log ?

Aborts on the seertion

xournalpp: src/hostapi/alsa/pa_linux_alsa.c:900: GropeDevice: Assertion `maxChans <= INT_MAX' failed.

https://github.com/xournalpp/xournalpp/issues/1484 but that's old and you're not landing in pcm_usb_stream what makes

I wonder if it's because I'm using Pipewire as a Pulseaudio drop-in replacement

likely and I'd try whether it also happens w/ pulseaudio.

I haven't tried pulseaudio so far but I'm really happy with pipewire so I wouldn't really want to re-model my system configuration ...

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start Xournal++ - crashes immediately

I can confirm, I also switched to Pipewire recently and currently cannot run Xournal++ as ordinary user, using "sudo xournalpp" works, though. When I'm start JACK I get a different error, boiling down to

Cannot lock down 107341340 byte memory area (Cannot allocate memory)

.

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start Xournal++ - crashes immediately

There's no way to force a certain audio backend in xournalpp, is there ?

Re: [SOLVED] Can't start Xournal++ - crashes immediately

Seems like this resolved itself with more recent versions, works pretty well now !
