Description

This is a persistent issue on Ubuntu identified while using the QuickMapServices (QMS) add-on. QGIS crashes with a segfault upon mouseover on the QMS menu. Crash dumps indicate an issue with pointing to libjpeg/jdapimin. NextGIS folks (developers of QMS plugin) have indicated this is an issue with QGIS and not related to the plugin itself. See related bug report:
https://github.com/nextgis/quickmapservices/issues/51

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Enable additional service providers in QMS settings
  2. Navigate to Web -> QuickMapServices

What happens:
QGIS crashes immediately

What should happen:
QMS menu should open

Which packages did you install?

Given that this

a) only surfaces with a plugin and
b) only affects one system

makes it very unlikely that this report in here will help to fix the problem (sorry).

Better figure out with the developers of the plugin.

Why the "c++ plugin" category?

#3 Updated by Spencer Gardner about 7 years ago

The problem appears to be related to the QMS plugin so I'm assuming it has something to do with the plugin framework. I had assumed it was a C++ plugin, but now that I look at the source it is actually a Python plugin. Sorry for the mixup.

A backtrace (bt in gdb) might be helpful - you were almost there in the nextgis ticket...

#6 Updated by Spencer Gardner about 7 years ago

I'm having some trouble with gdb. Now when I replicate the crash in gdb everything freezes. Not sure if it's a kernel panic or what might be going on. Or perhaps it's just stuck because the crash dump is large? I'm not too handy with gdb. Perhaps I can get around the issue by generating a core dump and then analyzing, but I'm not even sure how to do that. Any advice is appreciated.

OK. I'm still getting weird kernel panic when using qgis with gdb directly, but I was able to produce a core dump thanks to your link and then run it through gdb. I've attached the results of the backtrace. I hope this helps.

I'm on the same platform and platform version. No issues at all with QGIS 2.18.7.

Please try again, not before having first disabled/removed all other 3rd party plugins or even better by wiping .qgis2.

#10 Updated by Spencer Gardner almost 7 years ago

Just tried with a fresh .qgis2 and still crashes. Did you test after adding the additional WMS providers via
Web -> QuickMapServices -> Settings -> More Services -> Get contributed pack

Everything works fine for me until I enable the additional providers.

yes I tried, on 3 different platforms, including Ubuntu 16.04. It all points to a local issue.

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Description updated (diff)

Cannot be replicated also by many others on may different platforms and qgis versions. All points to a local issue... if anyway you find a clear way to replicate on any system please reopen.
