MEGAsync QT segmentation fault

Support AUR
1

Hello,
I’m continuing this thread on the old forum here.
I’m still unable to run megasync. I’ve got the libraw problem that many had and could pass it with that command line:

$ megasync 
megasync: error while loading shared libraries: libraw.so.19: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/libraw.so.20 /usr/lib/libraw.so.19

As a side note, I found that command and it gave me this result:

$ find /usr -name "libraw.*" 2> /dev/null
/usr/include/libraw/libraw.h
/usr/lib/libraw.so
/usr/lib/libraw.so.20.0.0
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libraw.pc
/usr/lib/libraw.so.20
/usr/lib/libraw.so.19

Now I’m again stuck with this error:

$ megasync 
Setting QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS= "eDP-1=1"
Error unsetting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME vble
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

And my etc/env is like that:

$ cat /etc/environment 
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME="qt5ct"
EDITOR=/usr/bin/nano

Using QT5 software leads no problem for me, for example KeePassXC.
Thanks!

I had same problem – rebulding megasync solved it :slight_smile:

I’m glad it worked for you but I’ve got very strange result.

After rebuilding megasync this came again:

$ megasync 
Setting QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS= "eDP-1=1"
Error unsetting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME vble
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Then I removed the packages and built megasync-nopdfium. Launching it gave again the same error:

$ megasync 
Setting QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS= "eDP-1=1"
Error unsetting QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME vble
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

BUT THEN I don’t know how the icon appeared in the status bar and it started to synchronize. I was able the status window. Then I clicked on the MEGA icon in my dock and nothing happened. I went back to the status window and asked to see the transfers window and the app disappeared from the status bar. It crashed… Which makes me believe there must be a way to start the app…

I’m facing the same issue. Conky and MEGASync refuse to work for whatever reason. If you find the solution please update here.

Hi guys,
I haven’t read the original, but since I had the same problem I thought I’d add my experience.

I had megasync-git installed, and got the lib error after the update. Tried to reinstall, but I got a build error.

Then I removed megasync-git and installed megasync using yay.
Then megasync started with no problem.

This is what yay reports right now

I’ve had this problem for a while and figured an update would fix it eventually and it never did. The mentioned fixes above didn’t work.
Today, I replaced it with the -bin version via pamac

removed megasync (4.2.5-3)
removed dolphin-megasync-git (v4.2.4.0.1.g8ac56071-1)
installed megasync-bin (4.3.8-1)
installed dolphin-megasync-bin (3.6.6-2)

So far, it’s all working. Hopefully, it is persistent.
