Same here (20.04). Could run it once (1.0.6) but after a while was gone. Issue persists after dpkg purge and new install.

/usr/local/nhos-flash-tool QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' corrupted size vs. prev_size Aborted

Update: It seems to be related with the usb stick, when unplugged I can launch the tool but it crashes as soon as I plug it back: ~$ sudo /usr/local/nhos-flash-tool QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' QObject::connect: No such signal image_retriever::image_downloaded() --USB stick plugged-- corrupted size vs. prev_size Aborted

Same on Kubuntu 20.04 on two very different machines. I tried with three different Flash drives and the crash only happens once a flash drive is inserted. The exact message seems to vary, but these are the three messages I've gotten just before Aborted

corrupted size vs. prev_size

nhos-flash-tool: malloc.c:2379: sysmalloc: Assertion(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.`

malloc(): mismatching next->prev_size (unsorted)

Any update how to solve this? I'm having the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04. The USB flash app opens, but then closes after I insert the USB Flash disk.

[alesaudate]

Same here

[grantschneider]

hi, any update here?

[isnuryusuf]

Any update?

[rabinnh]

Fully up to date Ubuntu 20.04

xxxx@rxxxxx:~$ /usr/local/nhos-flash-tool QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root' corrupted size vs. prev_size Aborted sh -c "pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY sudo '/usr/local/nhos-flash-tool' '/home/xxxxx/.local/share/NHOS Flash Tool'"

Same problem @ Ubuntu 20.04 after NHOS update to latest version:

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
nhos-flash-tool: malloc.c:2379: sysmalloc: Assertion `(old_top == initial_top (av) && old_size == 0) || ((unsigned long) (old_size) >= MINSIZE && prev_inuse (old_top) && ((unsigned long) old_end & (pagesize - 1)) == 0)' failed.

Doing a sketchy way to get this running on Arch, also has this problem.

[CyKrome]

Same here. I tried with many different usb sticks also tried formatting each one of the but no good : (

[VGerris]

same here, completely broken. happens on USB plugin.

QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-root'
QObject::connect: No such signal image_retriever::image_downloaded()
Unknown property font-stretch
Unknown property font-stretch
corrupted size vs. prev_size
Aborted

as root, otherwise as the above, workaround is to flash the image: https://github.com/nicehash/NHOS/blob/master/nhos_create_flash_drive.md

But then all settings need to be manually changed. this sucks. Please fix this @Nicehash

Not launching on ubuntu 18.04 either.

[MrJimmyPenguin]

This is still an issue with ubuntu distros based on 20.04, including popos.
