Keepassxc not launching. Bus error (core dumped)

RaspberryRealm · 29 June 2022 12:17

keepassxc doesn’t work and sends the error Bus error (core dumped)
MultiMC and Persepolis send the same error.
NOTE: keepasxc-cli works.

Everything was working when I was running an unsupported kernel linux513
This happened after updating my system using yay -Syu. And then updating the kernel to linux515.

I thought the problem was with the kernel so I tried using linux510 and linux513 but I got the same error.

My inxi output:

So what can I do to get apps to work again?
I don’t think the problem was with the kernel version.
Did it happen because I updated using yay?
Also what does the error mean and how can I prevent it?

Maybe reinstall. Just checked; my keepassxc 2.7.1.1 (official repos) works fine on upgraded system running 5.15 LTS.

RaspberryRealm · 29 June 2022 12:50

I tried sudo pacman -S keepassxc Got the same error
I tried sudo pacman -R keepassxc then I installed it again.
Still the same error.

Hi @RaspberryRealm,

I use it with kernels 5.4, 5.10, 5.15 and 5.19, and it works flawlessly. I suspect something else.

If you’ve got the database separate, which I recommend, try removing the configuration and then configuring it from scratch.

mv -v ~/.config/keepassxc ~/.config/keepassxc.bak

Note: this will backup any and all files in the config directory, you can remove the backup if all works afterwards.

Just to be thorough, reinstall it again:

pamac reinstall keepassxc --overwrite='*'

This will reinstall it using pamac and overwrite any conflicts.

If all goes well, and works afterward, you can remove the backup created earlier:

rm -fr ~/.config/keepassxc.bak

Hope this helps!

winnie · 29 June 2022 14:27

Just to play it safe, use mv instead of rm to troubleshoot this.

mv -v ~/.config/keepassxc ~/.config/keepassxc.bak

I’m getting PTSD from users on this forum (and elsewhere) who permanently deleted their data without any recent backups.

Mirdarthos · 29 June 2022 14:38

Good point. I’ll adjust my instructions from now. Thanks!

6x12 · 29 June 2022 15:03

There are posts online about keepassxc crashing at start, seems to be related to qt libraries updates. Some people were able to fix it by:
sudo ldconfig
which updates the links/cache which the dynamic loader uses.

I just have run this myself (and it seems to speed up keepassxc loading) but please do your own research about that command.

RaspberryRealm · 29 June 2022 15:47

I’m afraid that I’m still getting the same error.
Also keepasxc-cli works fine.

RaspberryRealm · 29 June 2022 15:55

I learned this the hard way with my .bashrc file…

RaspberryRealm · 3 July 2022 14:53

pamac reinstall qt5
pamac reinstall qt6
then reboot
And It works like a charm!
Also pamac is pretty nice thanks Mirdarthos.
