Hello,

And sorry to come so late.
There has already been a discussion about such an error involving gdg 
(gnu debug).

IIRC, such error is related to some corrupted config or db file.
Might be worth restoring the files at the time you updated to 4.4 and 
see what happens...


Rgrds,

J.-Luc

Re: Fwd: [darktable-user] darktable suddenly refuses to launch on Manjaro

2023-08-27 Thread David Vincent-Jones
After some considerable level of frustration I backed-up the .config 
folder and then totally removed dt from my system. I then reinstalled 
from scratch but reused just a couple of the old config files before 
totally rebuilding the library.


In the process I lost a couple of small convenience settings but the 
frustration is gone as everything is now in tip-top shape.

Which is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Great, as dt is working with the default config, I assume that with your system
is everything fine. You could double-check and enable OpenCL with the
default config and see if dt still works.

If you dn't have some external control panels (I think these are interfaced
over MIDI), I would neither mind at the moment about the libportmidi,
nor the fontconfig error.


No, I don't think I have a backup of my original config.

Darktabe usually writes periodic snapshots of the config/library itself.
So I would now try to:

1) First, make a backup of the current config directory.
2) Copy the default darktablerc into your config:
 $ cp ~/.config/darktable/test/darktablerc  ~/.config/darktable/
3) Roll back the library.db and data.db from darktable's own snapshots,
 from most recent to oldest, e.g.
 $ cd ~/.config/darktable
 $ cp data.db-snp-20230716172500 data.db
 $ cp library.db-snp-20230716172500 library.db

Check inbetween if dt is starting up.

Cumbersome task, but if you don't want to start again from a default
configuration, that's my best guess...

Regards,
Manuel.




When I launched it from the command line, although it launched, the
command
line gave me this:

   ~  darktable --configdir ~/.config/darktable/test

 1 ✘
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/fonts.conf", line 29: not well-formed
(invalid token)
Fontconfig error: Cannot load config file from /etc/fonts/fonts.conf
 1.3400 [lib_load_module] failed to open `midi': libportmidi.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not sure if anyone understands what all that means, and if that might be
the cause of the issue?

Is that just a "plain" run of darktable, which gave the gbd error?

You should be able to just start darktable from a terminal emulator like 
"Konsole" by typing "darktable" at the prompt. And there's no reason gbd 
should be called in that case.

Also, is it possible you had done a system update without immediately 
rebooting the system, and in that case, did darktable stop working after a 
reboot (or restart, logout/login cycle)? Programs don't just stop working on a 
system where nothing changed...
