Continuous coredumps from appimagelauncherd

Hi,

I’m continually getting coredumps in my syslog from appimagelauncher. The coredumps occur every minute and I’m not sure what I need to do to resolve. Can anyone give some tips?

    Process 775137 (appimagelaunche) of user 1000 dumped core.

I saw the same. Not sure what’s causing it, I’ll look into it when I have the chance.

I think I found the issue. Updated packages pushed to all branches.

4

Wow! That was quick. I presume the updated packages are not generally available yet as I have updated my system today but still getting the same error.

I dug a bit deeper into this.

From what I see, the core dumps are being generated by the pcloud appimage. The coredumps are being generated every 40 seconds. I stopped the pcloud application and checked to see that there were no pcloud processes running using “ps -ef”. Strangely, core dumps are still being generated by pcloud - hours after I stopped the application!

I had a look at the core dump files using the great information from arch-wiki-coredumps. From what I can see, a SIG 11(Segmentation Fault) is being generated for these coredumps.

What’s the output of:

systemctl --user status appimagelauncherd.service
7

Output of “systemctl --user status appimagelauncherd.service”:

Failed to connect to bus: No such file or directory

Output of “systemctl status appimagelauncherd.service”:

Unit appimagelauncherd.service could not be found

8

That’s odd. How about:

systemctl --user --failed

Normally AppImageLauncher enables the service automatically on first run. Try enabling it and check the status again:

systemctl --user enable --now appimagelauncherd.service
systemctl --user status appimagelauncherd.service

Don’t use sudo with systemctl --user.

13

Ok, but I get the same result whether I use sudo or not.

Don’t use a root prompt, either.
