• Jun 24, 2016 - 11:23

Hello,

With Xubuntu 14.04 LTS and Musescore 2.0.3 (in PPA : http://ppa.launchpad.net/mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable/ubuntu)

At terminal :
musescore
initScoreFonts 0xb498648
QDir::mkpath: Empty or null file name
QDir::mkpath: Empty or null file name
QDir::mkpath: Empty or null file name
QDir::mkpath: Empty or null file name
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

Thank you for your help.

Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

That's actually a segmentation fault. I don't want to interfere with troubleshooting, but that sounds suspiciously like the AppImage, which does that unless it's run with root privilege (under sudo).

Well, it doens't for everyone - I have no problems running the AppImage without sudo. I think it's only some rare some special case scenarios that require root privileges. But indeed, if you are seeing a crash, it's worth trying.

I don't know how common it is, but I'm 2 for 2 on Ubuntu 14.04 computers, one other guy has reported it, and now shoogle has confirmed it. Shoogle said he didn't see it before because he was running as root. I don't know what's causing this guy's PPA crash, but the symptom is the same as for the AppImage. That's all I'm saying.

Cause of the first problem :
Removing the 2 files ("session" and "plugin") in directory /home/userid/.local/share/data/MuseScore/MuseScore2/ : MuseScore start correctly.

But, an other problem :
when quit MuseScore : *** Error in `musescore': corrupted double-linked list: 0x0ae88438 ***
Abandon (core dumped)

nb : MuseScore version 2.0.3, package .deb in ppa:mscore-ubuntu/mscore-stable, Xubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, kernel 3.13.0.88

MuseScore sometimes gives an error when I quit it too. It's not ideal, but it's not really a problem since you only see the error when running from Terminal.

Several cases of crashes with "Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)" without apparent reason and files .mscz created with 2.0.2 playback stopping before the end, in the moment I prefer to return to 2.0.2 (if I can find!).

a German user seems to have a similar problem, see https://musescore.org/de/node/116611

As @jdt37b said, the solution for anyone having this problem is to delete MuseScore's preference files. Specifically, you need to delete the files "session" and "plugin" in ~/.local/share/data/MuseScore/MuseScore2/

You can do it like this:

cd ~/.local/share/data/MuseScore/MuseScore2/
rm session
rm plugin

Alternatively, you could just run MuseScore with the -F option (factory reset) which will delete all of the preference files:

mscore -F

As usual, be aware that deleting preference files will result in loss of saved settings and custom pallets, etc, but you will not lose any scores.

I tried the solution
{syntaxhighlighter SPEC}
mscore -F
{/syntaxhighlighter} and still received the same error.
Running Arch Linux here with:

{syntaxhighlighter SPEC}
[imskeptical@arch-laptop MuseScore2]$ pacman -Q musescore
musescore 2.0.3-2
{/syntaxhighlighter}

{syntaxhighlighter SPEC}
*** Error in `mscore': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00000000020049f0 ***
{/syntaxhighlighter}

EDIT: I just replied to the wrong spot of the thread. -.-

Upgrading Ubuntu 14.04 LTS to 16.04 LTS 32bit version will delete MuseScore 2.0.2.

From the official repositories, version 2.0.3 MuseScore is proposed. This version does not start from the Unity launcher. On the command line, the program starts but ends with a "segmentation fault". All options (-F, -R, -s, -m), or deleting configuration files do not solve the problem.
These remarks are identical to the version "AppImage".
Sometimes the program starts but crashes after a few commands.

Sorry for my english, i'm french, it's "Google translation"

i'm in the same situation anybody know the solution?
here the message
"initScoreFonts 0xb41df48

have you tried shoogle's suggestion above ?

After running mscore -F, the next time you run MuseScore should open with a blank score. Open the music saved in previous versions, and before continue Save As the new version overwriting the old version. Once you start working with the new version scores, the problem should be fixed. At least that what worked for me.

Hi guys,

Same thing here. 2.0.3 crashes at start up. It's my first install, done just after I upgraded my system to ubuntu 14.04.

I tried the suggestions here above (musescore -F and deleting the config files) but that didn't solve the problem. When launched from terminal with -F I get it working for a few seconds then it crashes. The program won't launch from Unity at all (crashes directly).

There seem to be quite a few people with the core dump problem, both here and in the issue reporting area (https://musescore.org/en/project/issues/musescore)

From what I see there are some similarities between them. Upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 seem to be one of them. I am not into troubleshooting but what struck me in this thread is the locale settings of the different users. All the segmentation fault messages are in languages other than English:
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)
Errore di segmentazione (core dump creato)
Erreur de segmentation (core dumped)

Maybe just a coincidence but it is pretty unusual imho.

MuseScore 2.0.3 is available as portable AppImage https://musescore.org/en/download Please try this version.

For the version in the ubuntu repo, please report the crash to the Ubuntu people https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mscore Apparently, they are not aware of it.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Unfortunately, running the AppImage leads to the same "Segmentation fault (core dump)" message.

Also tried with the -i and -F arguments, same behaviour.

Can you try other command line options like -s (disables sound) and -w (disables the web view)? These would eliminate some of the more common system dependencies from the equation. You can also try -d to get some debug output that might be helpful.

still a crash with -s and -w arguments

here is the output with -d

Hi,

Personally i think it's a problem of QT.

In a terminal, i start MuseScore with the '-d' option and sometimes, it run well. Often it crashes during playing or another operation and i can see the message in the terminal : "b6636000-b664b000 rw-p 027dd000 08:01 3146937 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libQt5WebKit.so.5.5.1Abandon (core dumped)"

Maybe that is another approach for this problem.
