Description

I am producing RPM packages for QGIS 2.10.1
During startup, I am getting a segmentation fault.

This is the debug info:
https://dpaste.de/cqcM
and the backtrace:
https://dpaste.de/P3jR

It seems to be related with poppler and gdal pdfdataset, but I am not sure why this PDFDoc::isLinearized(bool) is called during startup.
The crash happens when tips window opens.

QGIS 2.8.x packages are not affected by this issue (we keep separate ltr packages)

Looks like a GDAL problem. Does gdalinfo also fail on the PDFs QGIS is trying to access?

#2 Updated by Angelos Tzotsos over 8 years ago

The problem is that I have no idea what file is being opened/accessed. The crush happens on first QGIS startup.
Is QGIS initiallizing all GDAL drivers on startup?

Try strace. Looks like it initializing the browser - so it might be scanning your home directory, favorites, last used directories...

I could not replicate this issue on another machine.
Thanks for the feedback, I am closing it as invalid.
