MuseScore 2.0.3 app image crashes on Ubuntu 14.04
Hi all,
MuseScore is indeed awesome. I composed my first music in it in minutes.
Could play it, and even change colours of the noteheads. Then I closed the program normally. But, alas, when I want to start it again, MuseScore crashes. Sometimes
before I can do anything, sometimes after I have done some editing.
I really hope that MuseScore has been stunned by my shatterring masterpiece.
But a gnawing doubt persists: Could it be a bug?
Hence this email.
Here are some relevant info:
- I have read the "Known incompatibilities" section of the handbook. As I can occasionally run MuseScore perfectly, they do not seem to apply.
- I am running Ubuntu 14.04 (gnome) on a HP netbook (Intel atom processor).
- MuseScore 2.0.3 (app image downloaded within last week).
- I run the program from commanline. Every time the program crashes it greets me with a message like this:
$ ./MuseScore-2.0.3-i686.AppImage initScoreFonts 0xa1fc240 /tmp/.mount_nGlA84/AppRun: line 18: 13516 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "${APPDIR}/bin/mscore-portable" "$@"
- Following suggestions given for a similar bug report for an earlier version of MuseScore, I disabled the Start Center
from Preferences (during one of the few sessions that would allow me to get that far). - I tried to run MuseScore through gdb. As I step through it I get plenty of error messages like:
Single stepping until exit from function main, which has no line number information. __GI_getenv (name=0x804d82c "XDG_CACHE_HOME") at getenv.c:35 35 getenv.c: No such file or directory.
and
__x86.get_pc_thunk.bx () at ../sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/strcat.S:55 55 ../sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/strcat.S: No such file or directory.
and
__strlen_ia32 () at ../sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/../../i586/strlen.S:43 43 ../sysdeps/i386/i686/multiarch/../../i586/strlen.S: No such file or directory.
Indeed, I get one such message for every step. I wonder how can MuseScore occasionally run successfully at all if so many things could not be found! Anyway finally I get to the crash:
(gdb) continue Continuing. process 13534 is executing new program: /bin/bash initScoreFonts 0x98eb840 remove keysig c at tick 0 /tmp/.mount_Rd0IWw/AppRun: line 18: 13567 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "${APPDIR}/bin/mscore-portable" "$@" [Inferior 1 (process 13534) exited with code 0213]
Can anybody please help me to convince myself that it is not a bug...just an devastating effect of my first composition.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Arnab.

As suggested for a similar problem, I ran the command
./MuseScore-2.0.3-i686.AppImage check-depends > dep.txt
The resulting dep.txt is attached.

Perhaps you might want to post that first composition - see if it crashes other's computers.
