[SOLVED]some GTK applications not working

opjpoi · 2025-07-29 20:06:48

After recently updating via pacman, some programs stopped working without much explanation.

Here are some outputs:

Nautilus:

** Message: 16:48:19.211: Connecting to org.freedesktop.Tracker3.Miner.Files
nautilus-application-Message: 16:48:19.212: Failed to initialize display server connection: Unsupported or missing session type 'tty'
Job 1, 'nautilus' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Thunar:

Job 1, 'thunar' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I tried some other apps and some of them worked fine, like pavucontrol, or gnome-calculator, but some other stuff, like firefox "save to" menu, is also broken (it crashes firefox)
Im used to solve pacman conflicts, but this time im truly stuck at this and don't know how to solve it.

If relevant:
OS: Arch Linux x86_64
WM: bspwm (X11)
Theme: Adwaita-dark [GTK3]
Icons: Adwaita [GTK3]
Font: Adwaita Mono Regular (10pt) [GTK2/3]

type 'sudo pacman -Qq | grep gtkmm gtk3' and paste the output.

It would just be

pacman -Qs 'gtk3|gtkmm'

which then would also not kill the version.

gimp crashes out of pango, though - do you also have backtraces of the other crashes?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump

Also check your pacman log (/var/log/pacman.log) for what was "recently" updated.
And certainly just try a different default font (eg. dejavu)

Can't believe that the problem was just the font.
I tried downgrading the pango package and it all worked.
Thanks for the suggestion.

There isn't a whole lot of complaints about "pango update made my stuff crash" so that seems some local problem you might want to investigate?
You cannot just pin the pang version indefinitely.

Yes, i agree that its really weird, everything works fine with 1.56.3 but doesn't work at all with 1.56.4.
To be honest I don't even know where to start to investigate this.

Test and eliminate variables.

fc-match sans
fc-list | head
FC_DEBUG=4 pango-view --font="sans" -t "SNAFU" | grep family:
FC_DEBUG=4 pango-view --font="DejaVu" -t "SNAFU" | grep family: # ie.…
FC_DEBUG=4 pango-view --font="Source Sans Pro" -t "SNAFU" | grep family: # … pick other fonts than adwaita

Does any of the pango-view calls crash (but not others)?

Might just be the TE, though.

Let's see whether there's maybe some dated AUR package in the way…
