Description Gerrit Holl 2014-06-08 02:36:04 UTC
When I start digikam, I briefly get the splash screen, until "Initializing main view".  Then it crashes.  The output is as follows:

$ digikam --version
Qt: 4.8.4
KDE Development Platform: 4.11.5
digiKam: 3.4.0
$ digikam

I tried to reboot, I tried to clear the configuration files and/or the database, but nothing changed the situation.  The output varies a little bit from time to time, such as the number of times "QThread::start: Thread creation error: Resource temporarily unavailable" is printed.  Sometimes it also shows "Unable to start Dr. Konqi".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start digikam
2. Crash
3.
Actual Results:  
It crashes with signal 255.

Expected Results:  
Start digikam.

Comment 1 Gerrit Holl 2014-06-08 03:40:56 UTC
I upgraded to 3.5.0.  The crash persists and is reproducable, but the error messages are not always the same:

Created attachment 87066 [details]
output of 'strace -o -ff' in a tar.gz (22 strace files)

output of 'strace -o -ff digikam' in a tar.gz (22 strace files).

This is a fully clean install (removed apps/digikam and config/digikamrc, as well as thumbs.db and digikam4.db).
Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2014-06-08 08:10:18 UTC
Strace is not informative about the problem. Please run digiKam in GDB as explained here and give us a suitable backtrace to hack...

Comment 4 Gerrit Holl 2014-06-16 01:20:48 UTC
Oops, I didn't notice the gdb comment until now.  However, I have discovered a very valuable piece of additional information.

The crash happens if I set a too low ulimit.

With ulimit -v 1500000, it crashes.
With ulimit -v 4000000, it does not crash.

Please let me know if you are able to reproduce the bug with this information.

Will I need to compile digikam from source for gdb to provide useful information?
Comment 5 caulier.gilles 2014-08-21 21:49:01 UTC
Didi you try to get a suitable backtrace with GDB, installing digiKam debug package ?

Comment 6 caulier.gilles 2015-06-25 13:10:53 UTC
New digiKam 4.11.0 is available with official PKG installer for OSX.

https://www.digikam.org/node/740

Can you reproduce the problem with this release ?
Comment 7 caulier.gilles 2015-08-20 06:50:23 UTC
digiKam 4.12.0 is out :

Ok, I will have a look later.

Gerrit.
Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2016-07-09 14:17:41 UTC
This problem is not reproducible with last 5.0.0.
I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open it if necessary.
