In your gdb backtrace, there is no digiKam code. Please try to get a new backtrace more suitable to hack... Gilles Caulier The backtrace is quite reproducible, so I'm not sure how to go about generating anything different. I presume the call to main() at the very last line comes from digikam. Given the relationship of this bug to #314385, perhaps it's best to close this one at least until the prior bug is resolved (since this might just disappear with it). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 314385 *** Fixed with #314385 |
I have a large collection with ~1000 directories. When I start digikam, I usually see an error about opening too many files (I reported this bug already: #314385). To work around that issue, I run ulimit -n 2048 before running digikam. This seems to fix the previous problem, but reveals a different crash with this error message: "*** buffer overflow detected ***: digikam terminated". I will attach a backtrace with more information. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start fresh: empty ~/Pictures, remove .kde/share/config/digikamrc 2. Create ~/Pictures with 1000 subdirs: for i in {1..1000}; do mkdir ~/Pictures/$i; done 3. Run 'ulimit -n 2048' 4. Start digikam Actual Results: Causes crash. If ~/Pictures contains only 100 subdirectories instead of 1000, then there is no crash. gdb session attached.
