Segmentation Fault (core dumped) - Linux Manjaro

[Ursyne]

Unable to get the editor running due to this error when trying to run ./Inky in the terminal.

I am also getting this error on Arch linux, kernel build x86_64 Linux 5.3.13-arch1-1. When attempting to run Inky with ./Inky I get the rather unhelpful error segmentation fault (core dumped). I am on a recent version of all packages.

The current AUR build of inky is version 0.8.0-2 (2018-08-04), and it also fails with a core dump, but it gives a bit more info:

(inky:143209): Pango-ERROR **: 19:30:50.162: Harfbuzz version too old (1.2.7)
zsh: trace trap (core dumped)  inky

This discussion on the electron repo suggests that Inky may need to be updated to the newest version of electron.

I'm getting the same error on Arch Linux as well. My kernel is x86_64 5.5.2-arch1-1. In my logs I see the following message:

systemd-coredump[5864]: Process 5862 (inky) of user 1000 dumped core.

Stack trace of thread 5862:
#0  0x0000000000dbf060 n/a (Inky + 0xbbf060)

If I clone the repository and run it manually everything works correctly. The problem occurs when I I download the 0.11.0 zip for Linux and run the Inky binary.

I'm having the same problem. This is the backtrace I get (same address as @jbigler):

Same problem here

Replicated on Fedora 31 (Workstation Edition) with kernel 5.6.6-200.fc31.x86_64.

$ ./Inky
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

This happens with both inky-0.11.0 and inky-0.10.0.

Same issue Pop! OS 20.04 LTS x86_64, kernel 5.4.0-7634-generic Inky Version 0.11.0

I also got segfault using ink from the latest release page. Seems like a linking problem since I need to install gconf first before getting the segfault:

$ ./Inky
./Inky: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

$ pamac install gconf
To install (1):
  gconf  3.2.6+11+g07808097-7    community

Total installed size: 6.9 MB
Apply transaction ? [y/N] y
Transaction successfully finished.

$ ./Inky
fish: “./Inky” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I wonder if it works if I build it manually 🤔

[DrSensor]

using the master branch: INSTALL_AND_RUN.command work just fine but got an error when running AppImage produced by BUILD_FOR_LINUX.sh

$ ./ReleaseUpload/Inky.AppImage
/tmp/.mount_Inky.AMAyzn0/AppRun: line 5: /tmp/.mount_Inky.AMAyzn0/opt/inky/Inky: No such file or directory

---

Update

Solved by installing electron-packager globally

$ npm install --global electron-packager
$ sh BUILD_FOR_LINUX.sh
$ ./ReleaseUpload/Inky.AppImage 

I wish the AppImage can be downloaded in the releases tab 😞 (#278)
