Many std::bad alloc errors recently

[cscs]

@soundofthunder

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -S ffmpeg ffmpeg4.4

It’s sometimes a good idea to do that when uou update, aswell:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack && sudo pacman -Syu

Just update while installing the packages …

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu ffmpeg ffmpeg4.4

That too, depending on his intention.

Weirdly it seems that saving works the first time, but the second time it crashes.
Also for skanlite^^

Hmm, reinstalling ffmpeg with

sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syu ffmpeg ffmpeg4.4

didn’t change anything
Any other suggestions?

Hooray!

Seems to have been a qt5 related issue.
Deleting ~/.config/QtProject.conf fixed it

You mean that you didn’t try that five months ago?
