Bug#1050462: gtg: crashes on startup often
Hi Antonio, > We probably want to fix the code to *not* segfault when the workaround > is not in place. Agreed! > I'm not sure whether this is a bug in gtg itself, or > in pango. The issue is likely in the g_object_get_property or in pango_font_description_to_string, or in the code calling both methods in GTG/gtk/general_preferences.py For now, I've followed the upstream advice to revert the behavior to get a default font when font_name is not available, hence by-passing the two problematic methods. I've just committed the patch [1], and I'll likely upload a new package shortly to prevent package removal. Let me know if this sounds acceptable to you.

We probably want to fix the code to *not* segfault when the workaround is not in place. I'm not sure whether this is a bug in gtg itself, or in pango. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Dear Antonio, thanks for the crash report! I can reproduce it easily with unstable distribution and the call stack points to pango_font_description_to_string method. The issues seems to have been already reported upstream [1] and the suggested worj around is to add "font_name = Sans 11" in the [browser] section of the ~/.config/gtg/gtg.conf config file. I've checked the fix and no more crash occurs, so it could be integrated as a quilt patch for the Debian package.

I can reproduce this issue:
- on both arm64 and amd64 systems, running testing;
- with or without wiping out ~/.local/share/gtg/ before each attempt at
starting it.
