Segmentation fault in QT apps

How can I debug with gdb or something?
I tried "gdb qt6ct" but I think that it does not have debug symbols.
Is there some app with the symbols?

Nheko, strawberry etc. do not start because of "Segmentation fault".
I do not know what's the problem.

ARMtix is built w/o debug symbols. Could you try to rebuild locally? If it works then, i'll rebuild it

I built qt6ct-git and "Segmentation fault" again.
I also rebuilt another qt app and same problem.

Stating the obvious QT is complex and it's probable that the segfault is coming is coming from another part of QT not the actual programs you are starting seeing as it's happening with multiple QT programs.

Starting the programs with strace might shed some light ?
If it does you could try building the package that contains the problem component locally and installing the 'debug' version of its package.
Then, making sure that core dumps are enabled, you can use gdb to backtrace the coredump.

Now I was able to download the symbols.
Code: [Select]
gdb qt6ct
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/qt6ct

Thread 1 "qt6ct" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000fffff6675e18 in ?? ()

Is that enough?

Other app that had debug in binary:
Code: [Select]

Well both examples appear to show the segfault coming from /usr/lib/libQt6Core.so.6 , part of qt6-base.

If it's not a red herring you could try building qt6-base locally see if that helps?
If not try with different Flags in makepkg.conf. As in less optimization.
Search for "arm Segmentation fault libQt6Core" and similar.

I use kde on an ARMv7 chromebook. For a while now konsole segfaults not long after being opened. I've never been able to fix it  :'(

Does build qt6-base take a lot?

Problem is that all qt apps do not start cause of seg fault, quite annoying.

That all depends on the device you are building it on and how ?
From memory only, I seem to remember it being a fairly big build but not as bad as some of the other QT components eg webengine

On my chromebook I use Distcc Cross-Compiling which makes a big difference but again depends on the power of the client machine(s)
If you try Distcc I suggest the pre-built crosstool-ng toolchains. Building my own toolchain failed for me, but that's probably down to me only.

If you have powerful x86_64 machine, you could also try to build using qemu+chroot (i didn't succeed at that but someone on the forum did recently) or inside virtual machine

qemu+chroot? Not sure how that works.

I tried to make a VM but I could not boot.

I use just use a chroot to cross compile but my desktop is really not powerful.
But the aarch64 device is a PinePhone (very slow).

Error when building qt6-base from chroot:

I just built a qt5 app natively to test and:
Code: [Select]
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (5.15.13) with this library (5.15.14)
How so?

There was a problem at ARMtix build system last month that led to some qt5 packages being incorrectly built. Could you check which qt5 package is broken for you?

The app that I built is auralquiz from the AUR.
Same error from extra/qstardict.

Not sure what apps from ARMtix repo use qt5.

The error you sent means that some qt5 dependency of that package is built against the wrong qt5-base version. Could you check which one can it be?

I listed files owned by each installed qt5 package and tried to run the ones from /usr/bin. If it fails with such error - it requires rebuild
