Cairo Dock keeps crashing since recent update. [SOLVED]

Storm · 2017-05-12 19:13:15

After updating recently, cairo-dock just keeps crashing. It crashes about 5 seconds after starting, then it restarts it self, and this repeats endlessly until I kill the process.

Before I would report this to cairo-dock - especially since the arch package is out of date since January - I would like to ask if anyone else has this issue and if there may be a known fix?

Console output:

warning :  (/build/cairo-dock/src/cairo-dock-core-3.4.1/src/implementations/cairo-dock-egl.c:gldi_register_egl_backend:232)  
  Cairo-Dock was not built with EGL support

  Cairo-Dock has crashed (sig 11).
It will be restarted now.
Feel free to report this bug on glx-dock.org to help improving the dock!

Couldn't guess if it was an applet's fault or not. It may have crashed inside the core or inside a thread
restarting with 'cairo-dock -Ao -w 2 -q 1'...

The warnings mostly say that you miss optional deps for some cairo-dock-plugins and then the dock segfaults.
Run cairp-dock in gdb to obtain a backtrace or check the journal on whether it's kind enough to also dump the core in addition to just restarting.

Thanks for your comment!

OK this is weird... even though I did not upgrade any packages since, after being broken for days, now I start it to see if it throws anything in the Journal, and it doesn't crash now. I still get the same warnings up until the point my crash used to happen, but it runs from that on. I tried killing and restarting it several times, and no crash.

I mark this as solved for now, but since it just magically started working without me doing anything I'll keep my eye on it and if it starts crashing again I will check journal and get around running it in gdb.
