Can't reproduce - can you post more details?

#5 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 6 years ago

I'm on Debian 10 too, but cannot reproduce this. Tried all kind of configurations.

@patrick do you have a corrupted config maybe?
Do you start up with a certain project (See Options/General/Project files), or the Welcome Page
Maybe it is a plugin (Lat Lon Tools?) playing up?
If you cleanup/rename all your stuff (.config/QGIS .qgis2 .local/config/QGIS), still crashing?
If you start qgis with:
qgis --profiles-path /tmp/foo
Still crashing?

#6 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

I can crash a brand new Debian 9.1 VM that has only just had Qgis installed for the very first time and has never opened any projects at all.

See attached

#8 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

Here is a VM that replicates the behaviour

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=kZAfT57Z0doVKojjEQ4dvJQfYAmsOQpolq4k

Some particular local considerations that may apply
- NZ locale
- XFCE desktop environment
- web filtering in effect as this is an educational institution that I work out of.

I just had a similar thing happen on Linux Mint 18.1 Serena (4.4.0-101-generic) QGIS code revision 19b062c. I went to change the project projection and QGIS crashed.

Also seen on Ubuntu (ubuntugis-nightly).

#12 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

On one of my Xubuntu VMs I think it just freezes trying to display the dialog instead of crashing.

#13 Updated by Richard Duivenvoorde over 6 years ago

related #17610 ?

#14 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

Yes I would say very much the same issue there.

Patrick, a fix was committed to master yesterday which hopefully has dealt with this crash. Can you confirm the crash you suffered from his gone? Thanks.

#16 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

The latest version available on Buster is 6508543, does that version include the fix? as it still crashes.

#17 Updated by Patrick Dunford over 6 years ago

Doesn't sem to crash on the original VM
On the Buster system I have it doesn't crash, but doesn't seem to be able to display the current CRS of a 2.18 project file.

#18 Updated by Nyall Dawson over 6 years ago

  • Status changed from Feedback to Closed
  • Resolution set to fixed/implemented

Sounds like the original issue is fixed.
