[BUG] QOwnNotes 24.4.0 has immediate segfault on FreeBSD 13.2

[chriswells0]

Expected behaviour

QOwnNotes launches to the main window.

Actual behaviour

App prints the following messages, and no window is shown:

Warning: QMetaMethod::invoke: Unable to handle unregistered datatype 'LogWidget::LogType' ((null):0, (null))
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The first line above prints 991 times.

Steps to reproduce

Simply run QOwnNotes from a terminal.

Note that QOwnNotes --session test successfully opens the welcome dialog (I didn't go further). Maybe it's a setting?

Output from the debug section in the settings dialog

Settings dump: dump-settings.txt

Relevant log output in the Log panel

N/A?

Additional Info

This issue didn't happen on 23.12.4, but it did happen on 24.3.5. I also updated hundreds of other packages at the same time (first quarter upgrades). If it would help to know the before and after versions for any dependencies, I can provide that.

Note that QOwnNotes --session test successfully opens the welcome dialog (I didn't go further). Maybe it's a setting?

Then it's a setting for sure, because that's all that argument is doing, providing a way to have a different/fresh set of settings without the need of removing the current settings.

[pbek]

Of course a setting shouldn't crash the app, but you can try to use another session to walk your way up again until you can reproduce what actually was causing it...

[chriswells0]

Is it "safe" to use the same notes directories with different sessions? I was afraid to move forward because I didn't know if it would overwrite the sqlite DB or anything.

[pbek]

No, that's safe. Only things relevant for those notes are stored there. Sync clients may also write in the same directory...

[chriswells0]

The problem starts when I add a script. I tried each of the 3 that I use, and they all caused it:

• Insert text button
• List maker
• a custom script

Both of the ones from the script repository did warn that I'm on an unsupported platform, but I believe (could be wrong) that's always been the case.

[pbek]

So scripts in general... 🤔
I think you really would need to build qownotes yourself in debug mode and run a debugger to see what's causing it, I'm too inexperienced with FreeBSD...

[chriswells0]

Is there a way to disable the scripts for my regular session without access to the GUI?

[pbek]

You can only either change it in the script table in the application database or use a different session of QOwnNotes without the scripts.
