Description

Recently installed Williams latest QGIS build along with his latest frameworks.

Running a Mac 10.10.3

QGIS 2.8.2 hard crashes quite often and randomly whenever creating or editing a feature.

Sometimes a drop down sheet will very briefly appear with " Indexing data... " just before the crash, although often QGIS simply flashes out of existence.

Trying to work out the specific conditions.

History

#1 Updated by Mars Sjoden over 9 years ago

After a few more hours using QGIS it appears that once I save my QGIS project the crashing ensues.

Been working for a couple hours digitizing polygon boundaries over an OpenLayers Google and Bing sat imagery and no crashing as long as I do not save the project.qgs.

As soon as I save to a project.qgs, at some point poof bye bye QGIS and work.

  • Status changed from Open to Feedback
  • Operating System set to OsX

Did it happened in previous qgis releases?

please try also disabling/removing all 4rd party plugins, a few ones are known to cause problems. The easiest way is to backup/delete .qgis2 and restart qgis. Thanks.

#5 Updated by Mars Sjoden over 9 years ago

I forgot to note that I am only running the Vanilla System from Williams packages.

The first time around I deleted QGIS 2.8.2 and reinstalled.

Have not updated plugins also as per Williams warning.

I can do another fresh install, but I am currently digitizing, (fingers crossed, not saving project)

#6 Updated by Mars Sjoden over 9 years ago

I have tried using QGIS 2.8.2 for the past 7 days or more. I have tried not saving the project file or loading a qgs project file and while this does seem to stabilize the app for a longer time, eventially QGIS simple hard crashes.

Is there a way to find or use a stable version of QGIS for OS X? I would like to use QGIS but continuous random crashes are very discouraging for getting work done.

Thank you.

have you tested deleting .qgis2?

#8 Updated by Mars Sjoden over 9 years ago

Yes, I have deleted the hidden .qgis2 directory a couple times.

I am using Larry Shaffer's Latest Nightly Build (Dakota Cartography) for the last hour+ and seems to be working fine so far (fingers crossed)
