[solved] Linux: Crash when trying to open the system's file explorer

cichli · August 28, 2019, 2:14pm

Description:

Renoise crashes (coredump) when trying to open the file explorer on Linux (saving a new song, loading a sample, etc). I’m using the I3 window manager, which I’m sure has something to do with it. I’ll try with other window managers when I get off work. The distro is Arch Linux.

This doesn’t happen when using Renoise 3.1.1.

When it crashes, there are no entries on the Renoise logs, but I have some information on the machine logs.

Steps to reproduce

Open Renoise on Linux
Try to save the new file or load a sample/instrument via the sample editor

Doesn’t crash for me with KDE so could well be i3 related.

kytdkut · August 28, 2019, 3:04pm

No crash on bspwm (arch) either

Edit: welcome to the forum

taktik · August 28, 2019, 6:25pm

Thanks for the detailed infos.

Also can’t replicate this here. But the crash looks like stack overflow caused by a recursive function call.
The disk browser by default shows the content of your home dir. Can you think of something in you home dir that could possibly cause this - like a self referencing directory or some other weird symlink setups?

cichli · August 29, 2019, 9:47am

I just tried with a new user (clean home directory) and it works perfectly, so you’re right, something in my home directory is causing the problem.

At first sight, I don’t see which file or directory might be causing the problem, but my home directory is a mess, so I’ll take advantage of this to do some cleaning.

Thanks for the help!

taktik · August 29, 2019, 10:36am

Actualy that wasn’t meant as a workaround, but a way for us to find out what’s causing this, so we can fix that

Would be great if you could try to narrow down the error a bit. I’ll else try to replicate this here somehow by starting to mess around with symlinks…

cichli · August 29, 2019, 11:46am

I found it. It was a symbolic link referencing itself. The symlink was created 4 years ago and I think I never used it, so I never realised it was wrong.

taktik · August 29, 2019, 12:39pm

Thanks. This still should be handled properly by Renoise then. Will fix this for the next update.
