Unforutnately that trace does not give us anything useful to work with. All symbols are missing. If you can manually install them that would help, otherwise I'm sure we'll fix this via another report, sorry. It also opens up and closes in less than a second if "Backend=Vulkan" in `kcmshell6 kcm_qtquicksettings`. I'm pretty sure this is the same bug mentioned in 506740 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506740). Because this one was closed due to lacking debug symbols, I am tracking what happens there. |
Created attachment 182802 [details] Journal/stack trace from hdrcalibrator crash SUMMARY HDR calibration settings crash at startup after upgrading to the official plasma 6.4 release from the beta versions where it had been working. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch "Calibrate HDR Brightness" (right-click on desktop > Display Configuration, or Settings menu > Diisplay & Monitor > Display Configuration followed by clicking on "Calibrate HDR Brightness", or running hdrcalibrator from a command line). OBSERVED RESULT Screen may show briefly before crashing (what I see most often), or it may immediately freeze and require termination. In both cases, the effect is near instantaneous before any changes can be made, such as moving the button on the slider. EXPECTED RESULT The program should launch without crashing or freezing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux Kernels: 6.12, 6.15, and 6.16rc4 verified (LTS, current, and release candidate checked) KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.1 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.15.0 Qt Version: 6.10.0 Mesa version: 25.1.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Running hdrcalibrator from the command line provides the following error: "Job 1, 'hdrcalibrator HDMI-A-1' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)" I saw two other bugs regarding this tool reporting a breeze icon theme dependence, but they seem unrelated. This is a crash rather than the issues with the icon appearing or absence, Just in case, I also tested using breeze and other icon themes, but with no effect on the crash I am seeing. I have also attached the stack trace from the journal when crashing. Please let me know what else I can do to aid in finding the root cause and fixing. Thanks in advance for your help.
