[SOLVED] digikam 6.4.0 crashing after upgrade

Hi Archers,

After updated to new digikam yesterday (version 6.4.0) it is crashing for me,  with the following assertion

digikam: MagickCore/exception.c:1118: ThrowMagickExceptionList: Assertion `exception->signature == MagickCoreSignature' failed.

$ digikam --version

Attribute Qt::AA_ShareOpenGLContexts must be set before QCoreApplication is created.
digikam.widgets: Use installed icons
digikam 6.4.0

Last few lines of the log before the crash:

digikam.general: Generic plugin named "SmugMug" registered to Digikam::LightTableWindow(0x55d1138796c0)

Re: [SOLVED] digikam 6.4.0 crashing after upgrade

Hey there,

Any ideas how to fix/debug this ?

As a quick fix you can just install the version that worked.

Otherwise, for those kind of situation, it's a good idea to go have a look on digikam's bugtracker, maybe it's already a known issue.
(note that they also have a support mailing list)

If it's not, you can then report it, by adding as much information as possible. In your case you have logs with a coredump, the ability to get a backtrace, which can be quite helpful for debugging the issue ( see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … _core_dump ).

Have a good day!

Carefully explaining your problem is half the solution.

Re: [SOLVED] digikam 6.4.0 crashing after upgrade

Please post the entire output and use [ code ][ /code ] tags without the spaces to do so. Digikam works fine here, this assertion is in libmagick and not digikam per se. Do you have any non standard digikam plugins? Can you try a fresh digikam configuration?

Hi,

I am also affected by this error.

Here is a  complete gdb trace with backtrace after the error occurred (Sorry for using pastebin but the [ code ] ... [ /code ] tags don't work, maybe the code is too long):

Re: [SOLVED] digikam 6.4.0 crashing after upgrade

Yes, but unfortunately this version has memory leak bug. But it's for next thread.
So, make sure it doesn't use memory after closing (i.e. in Plasma just run systemmonitor or just press ctrl+esc, and when you see digikam - kill that process).
