Nitrokey App crashes on hovering over "configure" in KDE global menu

Lillian-Violet commented 5 years ago

The app and nitrokey are working fine aside from the issue mentioned in the title; when I go to the global menu and hover over configure, the entire program crashes. This only happens when I enable the use of a global menu in KDE, it doesn't when it's disabled, so it seems to be a problem with handling that.

Application version: nitrokey-app 1.4-1
Operating system: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.61.0 Qt Version: 5.13.0 Kernel Version: 4.19.69-1-lts OS Type: 64-bit
Device model and firmware version: Librem Key/nitrokey pro default firmware version (can't check which)
Connected USB port type: 1.1/2.0/3.0 tried
Issue occurrency: Always

Expected behaviour

The configure menu shows the three options available for my nitrokey; OTP and password safe, change User pin, and change Admin pin

Current behaviour

A crash as soon as the configure item is hovered over and KDE global menu is activated.

Steps for reproduction

add a global menu widget to any bar in KDE
start nitrokey app
unlock the nitrokey after plugging it in
open the "Menu" option in global menu when nitrokey app is selected
hover over "Configure"

Preconditions

Global menu is active in KDE (widget added to a bar)

Hi! Sorry for the delay. You seem to have latest libraries, so it should work from this side. Looking at log my guess is, that frequent menu update we do on the start up (the password listing in the menu) could be too fast for the global menu. I can try to decrease the update frequency and check that.

Perhaps it would be a good workaround for the time being to use a Flatpak/AppImage/Snap, which might not integrate as good with the WM.

I can reproduce this problem on both Alpine Linux and Gentoo Linux. I just started using the NitroKey but so far this application seems really unstable because of this. Is there any other info you need?

@PureTryOut @GLaDTheresCake I have not tackled the topic yet. Perhaps it could be worked around with using AppImage / Flatpak, where the libraries are provided with the binary.

I do not have schedule for working on it unfortunately. I hope this would be during the next month. Until this would be fixed, and if the workaround would not fix it, I can recommend a CLI UI - the nitrocli project.
