Description Christian Stadelmann 2016-11-07 21:33:15 UTC
Description of problem:
It seems like most Qt5 applications crash whenever they should display a file chooser in a GNOME wayland session.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gtk3-3.22.2-1.fc25.x86_64
glib2-2.50.1-1.fc25.x86_64
libwayland-client-1.12.0-1.fc25.x86_64
qt5-qtbase-5.7.0-3.fc25.x86_64

How reproducible:
always under a GNOME wayland session

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Qt5 application
2. open any file dialog
3. watch what happens

Actual results:
Application crashes right after logging this warning message:

Gdk-WARNING **: gdkwindow-x11.c:5554 drawable is not a native X11 window

Expected results:
No crash.

Additional info:
This bug affects:
TeXstudio (see bug #1392597)
KWrite (see bug #1392601)
Ark (see bug #1392604)
Konversation
Marble
KAlgebra

This bug does not affect:
Okular (Qt4)
VLC (Qt5)

Workaround:
Start all affected applications with GDK_BACKEND=x11 environment variable.

Comment 1 Christian Stadelmann 2016-11-07 21:55:43 UTC
Also affects:
Dolphin (in application chooser dialog for opening files with)
Calibre (see bug #1387928 and upstream https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-55583 )

I'm not closing these bugs as duplicates because the stacktraces differ slightly.

Nominating as Blocker because this bug affects quite many applications and is quite serious.

If you don't think this is a blocker, please consider adding a freeze exception.

This issue not only happens on Fedora, but also on other distros:

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2016-11-07 22:50:54 UTC
Do we have any affected apps in a default Workstation install?

Anyone close to a fix for it?

I don't think so. Removing qt5-qtbase doesn't remove anything important and nothing I've seen in Workstation composes.

Comment 4 Kamil Páral 2016-11-08 12:13:36 UTC
I can reproduce the crash with kwrite, as long as I don't have qgnomeplatform installed. If I have it installed, it seems to work OK. Christian, can you confirm?

Comment 5 Kamil Páral 2016-11-08 12:17:02 UTC
qgnomeplatform seems to be a part of a default Workstation installation.

I can confirm that. Since qgnomeplatform is in Fedora Workstation, I'm removing the blocker proposal for this bug. Sorry for the noise. I don't know why this package is not installed on my machine, but after installing qgnomeplatform, the issue is gone for me.

Anyway, Qt5 or Gtk3 (whoever is to blame) should bail out more gracefully instead of running into a SIGSEGV.

Comment 7 Kamil Páral 2016-11-08 13:37:25 UTC
It is possible that qgnomeplatform is not installed on system upgrades.

Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2016-11-08 15:14:43 UTC
If qt applications crash, why is this bug filed against gtk3 ?

Comment 9 Adam Williamson 2016-11-08 17:05:02 UTC
At a quick glance, it seems like qgnomeplatform has only been in comps since f24. If you installed before f24 and upgraded, and nothing you have installed has an explicit qgnomeplatform dep, and you didn't do a 'dnf groupinstall workstation-product' or similar after upgrading, that could explain it not being present. Perhaps we should document that. I don't know if dnf-system-upgrade or the Software graphical upgrade 'refresh' group packages on upgrade or not.

Because it only happens with the Gtk3 filechooser and can be worked around by using GDK_BACKEND=x11. And from the backtrace it also looks more like Gtk/GLib than Qt. You probably know better so feel free to reassign.

That's the case for me. Installed with F23, then upgraded F23→F24 and F24→F25 with dnf system-upgrade.
How about adding a section to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs ?
How about adding a weak ("Recommends:") dependency to adwaita-qt5 or some similiar package as a workaround?

"How about adding a section to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F25_bugs ?"

That's why we set the CommonBugs keyword. :)

Comment 13 John Freed 2016-11-27 18:37:22 UTC
Comment #7 and Comment #9 are correct. Suggest you include qgnomeplatform in the default upgrade. I can confirm that this solved the problem:

sudo dnf install qgnomeplatform

Also noticed that when I do:

dnf group list

"Fedora Workstation" is listed in the "Available environment groups" and not "Installed groups". Solved that with:
sudo dnf group install "Fedora Workstation" --best --allowerasing

Again, should this not be included by default on a Fedora Workstation upgrade?

Sounds like qgnomeplatform should be a dependency of gnome-session-wayland-session until that bug is resolved.

I didn't have qgnomeplatform installed either and suffered from that bug until I found this report.

Comment 16 Rex Dieter 2017-01-08 21:40:51 UTC
Is this still reproducible with
qt5-qtbase-5.7.1-10.fc25
from
https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-e2f57cb7cd
?

Comment 17 Christian Stadelmann 2017-01-08 23:19:40 UTC
After uninstalling qgnomeplatform and upgrading to qt5-qtbase-5.7.1-10.fc25, this issue is gone.

Comment 18 Rex Dieter 2017-01-08 23:42:21 UTC
and qt5-qtbase-5.7.1-10.fc25 *with* qgnomeplatform?  (still crashes?)

> and qt5-qtbase-5.7.1-10.fc25 *with* qgnomeplatform?  (still crashes?)

No, with qgnomeplatform it did not crash. Installing qgnomeplatform was the workaround described in comment #4comment #7.

Comment 20 Rex Dieter 2017-01-09 15:23:53 UTC
OK, so issue is resolved?

Comment 21 Christian Stadelmann 2017-01-09 16:09:26 UTC

As far as I can tell, yes.
