MC on Arch Linux crash on startup [Solved]
« on: December 24, 2024, 11:43:56 pm »

OS: Arch Linux
Package from AUR
Version of MC: 33.0.49
Windowing system: Wayland

I cannot start the mediacenter, it crashes right on start with a segfault. Running under gdb does not give any useful information, unfortunately:

Code: [Select]

Any suggestion how to proceed? Thanks

You might try on Debian and see if it happens there too, since Debian is the only Linux distro JRiver officially supports.

Thanks for the suggestion, but my guess it is with Wayland and XWayland.
On my desktop system, which also runs Arch but with X11/Xorg, it works without any problem.
Unfortunately, due to the stripped debugging symbols, there is not really a hint what needs to be changed.

After a cleaning of the whole ~/.jriver directory and reentering my license number, now mediacenter spits out a few error messages:

Does that ring a bell with someone?

Media Center only supports X11 and doesn't support Wayland, so you'd need XWayland if using it there, though that may not make the segfault go away (there may be other factors). I can say however that MC33 works fine in both my GNOME and KDE Plasma Arch Linux VMs that uses X11.

Yup, so it seems. XWayland seems to work with most apps, but not with MC. With X11 all is working fine.

MC33 does work fine for me with XWayland in Ubuntu 24.10, so I guess the mileage may vary.
