[SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

After certain upgrade all electron apps sefault with this error in dmesg:

 atom[19093]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f0667bf6841 sp 00007ffca11999d0 error 4 in ld-2.32.so[7f0667beb000+21000] 

I am not quite sure which upgrade caused it because i havent used any electron app in about week sad.
From googling it seem to be linked with glibc, so i tried downgrading glibc (and lib32-glibc) to multiple previous versions 2.32.1 - 2.32.4. Sadly nothing worked. Since it crashes for atom usin electron 6 and also VS code usong electron 9 I doubt it is caused by electron.

This is as far as I was able to get. Can anyone please help?

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

Smells like a corrupt binary

pacman -Qkk atom

and check your pacman log of errors.

Also there's probably context in the journal (coredumps), post those as well.

There are no changed files in atom or any other app using electron.

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

The actual coredumps would be more helpful than the entries…

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

The electron6 binary segfaults on dlopening something.

pacman -Qkk electron6
pacman -Qkk

In doubt "strace -f atom" so you can maybe see which library is opened before it crashes.

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

I checked and electron6 has no changed files.
After running "pacman -Qkk" I didn't notice any changed files which could cause the problems (some /etc files, libvirt)

Even though I was searching strace for SIGSEV and found some I was not able to determien where the problem could be
Here is pastebin of it https://pastebin.com/CPM1d6gB

Would you be so kind and look at it?

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

You copy-pasted that from the terminal, right?

strace -f atom > /tmp/atom.strace 2>&1
[pid  2941] --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x8} ---
[pid  2941] --- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=0x8} ---

There seems to be an overflow in /usr/lib/atom/atom

What does the strace for vscode look like?

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

Same pattern, mapping error after reading (and closing) libgomp
I suspect they might have been compiled against gcc-libs 10.2.0-4 in the "staging" repo.

Does downgrading atom and vscode to the previous versions "help"?

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

No downgrading atom didnt help (cant do it for vscode since I downloaded it after atom stopped working).

But I have managed to find a solution. atom-bin from AUR is working without a problem.
Now I am not sure If I should report it somewhere or we can close this

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

I tried multiple versions of code electron9 and gcc-libs. But no combination of few weeks old packages worked

Let's see whether LD tells us what it's doing:

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

I was not able to paste whole thing on pastebin since whole file is 190M. So here are last 5000 lines https://pastebin.com/cDyPhE0W

if necessary I can upload the whole thing on google drive.

Simply stops processing libre2, https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/re2/

pacman -Qkk re2

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

Did you install 1:20201001-1 out of the cache or re-fetch it from a mirror?
There must have been some problem w/ the file on disk, I'd run a https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SMART test (and check critical values as the re-allocated sectors) to be sure it's not the disk.

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Electron apps Segfault

I installed it from cache. I will check my disks but it seems that problem was somewhere there and not with the packages themself.
I can do rest of the work by myself. Thank you for help and have a nice weekend.
