Description Rodd Clarkson 2015-09-12 08:05:51 UTC
Description of problem:

I've installed mscore using the following command:

sudo dnf install mscore.

The installation worked fine with all dependancies installed, however mscore fails to start.

Launching from the icon seems to do nothing.

Running it from the command line has a similar result and ps ax shows no process running.

You can run mscore --help which shows the help including information about the program, so something seems to work.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mscore-2.0.1-2.fc23.x86_64



How reproducible:

So far very.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install mscore
2.  run mscore from the command line



Actual results:

Nothing happens



Expected results:

MuseScore (mscore) should start.



Additional info:

running mscore --help shows the following:

$ mscore --help

Comment 1 Rodd Clarkson 2015-09-12 08:06:50 UTC
I've tried moving .config/MuseScore in case this might have been conflicting as it was for an older version but there's no improvement.

Comment 2 Rodd Clarkson 2015-10-18 00:10:37 UTC
mscore is now reporting a segfault when you try to start it, but it's still not working.

Comment 3 Audrey Yeena Toskin 2015-11-06 02:09:18 UTC
I'm getting a segfault error on my system too (mscore 2.0.1 on Fedora 23).

Trying to run MuseScore in debug mode returns the following message.

> fish: “mscore -d” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Comment 5 Andreu Botella 2015-11-12 21:39:16 UTC
I also get this error (mscore 2.0.1 on Fedora 23 as well). But when I start it, some of the time it raises a SELinux alert. Though I've got SELinux on permissive mode, so this can't be the only reason for this problem.

The source process: abrt-hook-ccpp
Attempted this access: getattr
On this file: file

ABRT is the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool, and gets triggered when programs crash. Your exact SELinux message matches this existing bug report -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1274963

...but I dunno, "On this file: file" is incredibly vague. It could be related to a bug which more broadly affects SELinux and ABRT -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276931

That's my best guess. SELinux has its own bug(s), and in this case, the SELinux Troubleshooter is only coming up because it's reacting inappropriately to MuseScore crashing.

Brendan Jones, what do you think? I'm trying to teach myself about Fedora packaging, and I'd also like to see MuseScore working again. If I could help with testing or something, let me know.

Comment 7 Christoph Karl 2015-11-14 07:11:25 UTC
For me also:
>mscore 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[and nothing more]

>mscore --help

seems to works

Comment 8 Christoph Karl 2015-11-14 07:16:13 UTC
Got the error on two machines:
(both Fedora 23 with all current patches)
4.2.5-300.fc23.x86_64
and
4.2.5-300.fc23.i686+PAE

Comment 9 Brendan Jones 2015-11-14 12:45:55 UTC
I believe this is a bug due to font locations, will try and get a build out this weekend

Comment 10 h.siemoneit 2015-11-15 20:03:50 UTC
strace shows the missing directory /usr/share/mscore/fonts. A workaround is:
mkdir /usr/share/mscore/ ; ln -s /usr/share/fonts/mscore/ /usr/share/mscore/fonts

Comment 11 Herald van der Breggen 2015-11-16 16:21:44 UTC
Yes, this workaround helps. Thanks!
