Description

New released QGIS 2.6.0 crashed/close unexpectedly after some actions like save the project or change from Layers to Browser toolbar tabs but not always.

When it crash saving a project it removes old file and create and empty one (0 Kbs)!!

Here the messages I get when I launch QGIS from CLI and crash (simply changing from Layers to Browser toolbar tabs):

user@computer ~ $ qgis
Warning: loading of qgis translation failed [/usr/share/qgis/i18n//qgis_en_US]
Warning: loading of qt translation failed [/usr/share/qt4/translations/qt_en_US]

QGIS died on signal 11Could not attach to process.  If your uid matches the uid of the target

I'm trying to produce a proper backtrace file, meanwhile any help is welcome.

Apparently no problems at home with Ubuntu LTS 12.04 (Linux kernel 3.13.0-39) and same QGIS version (2.6.0)

different plugins installed?

please try remove/disable all the 3rd party plugins, restart qgis and try see if the crash happens again.

#6 Updated by Giovanni Manghi about 10 years ago

FYI in case of #11537 it seems that the cause was really a 3rd party plugin, please try disable/remove yours and see if still crashes.

#11537 was closed as the probable cause was a faulty 3rd party plugin, please diable/remove them, restart qgis and give it a try again. Thanks!

Yes, It must be any plugin I installed.
I'm running "qgis --noplugins" and it seems it works fine for the moment.
I'll check one by one 3rd party plug ins to find what is crashing QGIS and I'll report it.
Cheers

NOOO! It crashed again! even with plug-ins disabled... and I lose the project!! When saved it it closed and remove file info (0 bytes!! again).

I paste here again the console message:

it is just random or it can be linked to a specific operation/data?

Here you have backtrace messages running "qgis" (with plug-ins):

Something should change in my system and I do not have any crashes at all since yesterday. May be it's something related with the last update of the system or because I started to make new projects (not reopened some were done with the older version of QGIS)... NO IDEA. I hope all is solve :-/
Thanks to all for the help and the support.

#15 Updated by Miguel Sevilla-Callejo almost 10 years ago

  • Assignee set to Giovanni Manghi
  • Target version changed from Version 2.6 to Version 2.8

Yes, it must be something with the transition from old version projects (2.4.0) to the new one (2.6.0).
Do I open and other issue saying this?
Sometimes when I open an 2.4 project with 2.6 version and try to change and save QGIS crash.

My QGIS is not starting anymore with this same error, either with or without plugins disabled. It crashes immediately at startup, before the main window shows.
