Description kdebugs22.t.loodc 2022-11-06 15:04:51 UTC
Hi Carl & contributors,
thanks for making Tokodon!

When I click on the Toot button at the top right of the window, the program crashes every time.
After such a crash, the program crashes at its start already, unless I delete the config file with the access token or start it with `LANG=en_US.utf-8 LC_ALL=C bin/tokodon` (I don't know which of the two variables does it).

I am however able to make replies, so it's not the posting form in itself but only that button that causes the crash.

I must admit this is kind of a whacky setup. Slackware has KWindowSystem (and rest of frameworks) at 5.90. When I tried compiling Tokodon I found I need >=5.91 because of KWindowSystem::updateStartupId, so I built KWindowSystem and extra-cmake-modules as a dependency both to 5.91. I didn't experience any instability with the mix of 5.90+5.91 KDE/Plasma parts. But feel free to ignore this if you think that's the cause. I'm currently on a throttled internet connection of 8 KiB/s, so not inclined to rebuild all of KDE/Plasma.

If you'd rather have me report via invent.kde.org I can do that.

Have a nice day :)
Jay

Hi,

to investigate crashes we need a backtrace. Please see https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports for how to get one and paste it here

(In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #1)
As I wrote, I'm on Slackware, which means I'd have to compile to get these. I don't think I'll do that, it doesn't seem worth the effort considering several other crash reports of this software are still open since months ago despite oh so useful backtraces being provided by the reporters.

There's nothing we can do for you then
