On kubuntu precise, raring, saucy, trusty 64 bit, it is impossible to use scilab 5.5.0 (downloaded from the scilab site) if the appearance of gtk2 apps is set to oxygen-gtk. In this cases, scilab immediately crashes. Using others gtk engines, scilab 5.5.0 starts fine. The bug happens with all the oxygen-gtk2 versions used from ubuntu precise to trusty (1.4.5). There is a bug open in ubuntu at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1309132 Ubuntu's developer (Harald Sitter) recommended reporting upstream, to the attention of Hugo. There is also a bug open at scilab http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13330. If needed I can attach the crash log, but probably the best is to setup scilab from www.scilab.org to see what happens, since the bug is 100% reproducible and evident not just in ubuntu, but also in other distros including suse. Reproducible: Always
Please do attach a crash report Will have a look at it before installing anything on my machine, sorry.
changed to gtk3 engine, as reported by Ruslan in upstream bug, it seems
So ... can't reproduce here. See: http://wstaw.org/m/2014/04/28/plasma-desktopSF1843.png though it seems the application is usign gtk2, not gtk3 here. I'll need versions of - oxygen-gtk2 - scylab (here is 5.5.0-0.beta1) - gtk - glib and a crash report, please. (no offense meant, but I'm getting tired of (k)ubuntu crash reports that I cannot reproduce)
(ps: I am using 64 bit linux versions are: oxygen-gtk: v1.4.5 gtk: 2.24.22 glib: 2.38.2
Sorry for the lack of the crash report, it is just that I am not on the right laptop to produce it now. I'll provide the crash report as soon as I am on the right machine (in a few hours, hopefully). In the meantime, I confirm that bug is with oxygen-gtk2, not oxygen-gtk3.
Created attachment 86317 [details] Crash log Indeed, it uses GTK2. I must have confused it with another app I tested. Here's the log printed at the moment of crash. @Hugo if you need some more info, please ask. I can't find much time to do actual debugging these days.
In fact, although the bug reproduces in current version, this crash log was generated with oxygen-gtk2 1.4.3-xxx (current version gives the same output).
ok. Crash seems to occur in our Qt configuration reading ... pretty low level. Why would it crash for this application only and not all. I'll investigate in more details as soon as I'm on the right machine.
Created attachment 86318 [details] Backtrace from gdb Here's somewhat more verbose backtrace, taken from gdb.
Created attachment 86337 [details] Output of scilab crashing Here is the output of scilab crashing. I guess I am late and others have submitted much more useful logs by now, though.
