[SOLVED] pyqt5 applications crash with GLib-CRITICAL and seg fault

catastropeia · 2020-01-12 13:52:46

Since yesterday any pyqt5 application on my machine crashes with GLib-CRITICAL and segmentation fault.

I can reproduce this by running these three lines in a python console:

import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)

The output is

(process:1947): GLib-CRITICAL **: 14:38:34.850: g_hash_table_contains: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
(process:1947): GLib-CRITICAL **: 14:38:34.850: g_hash_table_insert_internal: assertion 'hash_table != NULL' failed
[1]    1947 segmentation fault (core dumped)  python

My arch install is up to date and freshly rebooted. Since the last time it worked (maybe 3 days ago), I can't remember doing anything to my system besides updating regularly. Currently I don't even know how to find out whether this is a bug in glib, pyqt5 or if something's wrong with my system.

glib errors in combination with qt can only really happen with some GTK qt5 theme, what are you using here? And if this is from the AUR make sure you rebuild your qt theme. Also look/post the contents of that dump: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … _core_dump

Do normal Qt5 applications work?

Thank you for your help. Qt5 applications (e.g. Qt Creator) do work. I do not use any custom theme. From the ones listed at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … plications, I have only Adwaita installed, so I guess this is the one. I just tried reinstalling it and rebooting, but that didn't help. Here is the core dump:

Reinstalling pyqt5 solved the problem:

sudo pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall pyqt5

You shouldn't really be installing with `sudo pip` and instead should be using pacman to install any required packages that are required system wide. You can use pip to install for specific users/environments if you want as that will bypass any future issues with pacman updates. Your solution will invariably cause issues for you later down the line and is most likely the cause for your original issue to begin with.
