[x] I am using Signal-Desktop as provided by the Signal team, not a 3rd-party package.

Bug Description

Since updating to MacOS Sonoma 14.0, Signal will crash. It happens at a time not associated with my using it. After crashing once or twice, it is automatically removed from Applications and I need to reinstall & relink it.

The error is

Render process is gone

Error: Reason: killed, Exit Code: 15
    at App.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]/app/global_errors.js:88:7)
    at App.emit (node:events:525:35)
    at WebContents.<anonymous> (node:electron/js2c/browser_init:2:90123)
    at WebContents.emit (node:events:513:28)

Steps to Reproduce

install signal
link device (this may be optional)
wait appx 30 minutes.

Actual Result:

Abrupt crash

Expected Result:

No crash.

Platform Info

Signal Version:

v6.31.0

Operating System:

MacOS Sonoma v14.0 M1 Max

Linked Device Version:

iOS v6.42.0.18

Link to Debug Log

Unable to locate the debug view as the application is removed immediately after crash.

ooooh, I wonder if the os is removing the application and that's why it crashes?

Sorry about this. Could you try running Signal Beta to see if it works, please? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta

khepin commented 11 months ago

I'm having the same thing, tried the beta version and Signal just crashed again with the same error. Let me know how I can help provide more info.

JodyVanden commented 11 months ago

Yes I am having the same issue. Here are my logs https://debuglogs.org/desktop/6.34.0-beta.2/5a3531c3f0746f1b5bdac1f66a38600708a0d61b3fceb20a9a83f24798786e4e.gz

With the normal version of signal the app is removed from the application folder when the error happens With the beta version the error still remains but the app is not removed (which is already an improvement) more info on this duplicated bug

@JodyVanden next time it crashes - could you submit the crash dump and send it to us? It should ask you to submit it on startup after the crash. Thanks!

khepin commented 11 months ago

I don't get asked to submit a report after restarting the app when a crash has occurred.

JodyVanden commented 11 months ago

hey, @indutny-signal I don't get asked to submit a crash dump report. that's why I submitted all the logs. I will keep an eye for the next crash and can resubmit logs if that is useful?

Synesso commented 11 months ago

Happened again just now. Beta version. App was running for about 30 minutes.

This is the dialog

Restarted and saved logs: https://debuglogs.org/desktop/6.34.0-beta.2/519a3a2f1ac42768dac99ea1ffbca8c66339a77448f23b25531d9d327b04a8f4.gz

Also got a crash, it happened specifically when first trying to connect to Windscribe VPN while no Signal Desktop windows were shown (but it was running), not sure if that's related though.

HenningWaack commented 10 months ago

Happens on my mac, too, and I strongly suspect that it happens whenever I connect or disconnect from a VPN.

scottnonnenberg-signal commented 9 months ago

Yes, it does seem to be related to this: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6496

Different exit code, though!

Synesso commented 9 months ago

I tested again without enabling VPN and it crashed in the same manner. VPN is installed though, just wasn't active.

@Synesso could you try reproducing it with Signal Beta and send us a crash dump, please? Thanks!

Synesso commented 9 months ago

This was beta. Sorry, there is still no crash dump. I suspect, at least in my case, it may be Malwarebytes or something similar nuking the process as a "security" measure.

indutny-signal commented 9 months ago

@Synesso ah, right. This is indeed not related. Absence of crash dump is a sign that the process likely didn't actually crash at all and was killed.

dgobaud commented 8 months ago

just happened to me but on OSX Monterey 12.3 (21E230). no vpn.

first time ever. i had just pasted a message with a link into a chat and it was generating the preview then crashed

ayumi-signal commented 8 months ago

@dgobaud Sorry this is happening for you. I took a look at the logs and can't find anything obviously wrong.

Can you reproduce the crash regularly; and is it possible to try the Beta build so crash dumps would be available for us to look through? https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta

dgobaud commented 8 months ago

Thanks for looking it only happened once so far

This time I was able to get the following error message:

Render process is gone

Error: Reason: killed, Exit Code: 15
    at App.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]/app/global_errors.js:88:7)
    at App.emit (node:events:526:35)

    at WebContents.emit (node:events:526:35)

This is on Signal Beta. Hope this helps.

scottnonnenberg-signal commented 8 months ago

@khepin The exit code is something, but the crash dump (you should see a prompt when you next start up after a crash) is what we really need.

khepin commented 8 months ago

Still not getting those unfortunately

scottnonnenberg-signal commented 8 months ago

@khepin Have you tracked it down to anything you're doing in the app, or is happening on your computer? (like a VPN change or other network change, say)

khepin commented 8 months ago

Nope, I thought it was VPN earlier on, but it's clearly not related.

cmahnke commented 7 months ago

Nope, I thought it was VPN earlier on, but it's clearly not related.

Well, actually for me it is, on the Network Change event (trigged by initiating a VPN Connection), I get:

Error: Reason: crashed, Exit Code: 11

This is on Signal Desktop Version 6.44.0 (1) on Sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)

rjanalik commented 6 months ago

Hello, I am observing pretty much the same problem, but crashing with Exit Code: 10. It crashes every time Cisco Secure Connect connects. The native VPN client was not causing this issue. M2 MacBook Pro, Sonoma 14.2.1
