f-spot full crash upon startup

[schollsky]

Hi all,

please help me with the following f-spot bug:

On startup (menu or terminal) f-spot crashes with the following exit code:

$ f-spot

Apport does not come up automatically, I manually started it. F-spot used to work fine with version 12.10.
Any ideas please?

Kind regards,

Stefan

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

It doesn't happen every time for me, although when it doesn't, f-spot won't work properly and will crash eventually.

It worked fine for me on 13.04 but after I imported two photos from a folder it crashed after I closed the import roll window. A couple of times it worked OK when starting with debug but now when restarting it it seems to crash every time. When starting with debug I get above backtrace.

I believe I have this fixed upstream, but there are some side effects from it that I'm trying to fix.

[Holger Mauermann (mauermann)]

Had the same issue after upgrading to saucy. I uninstalled colord and f-spot works now.

[Jasper van der Neut - Stulen (neutstulen)]

F-spot works after unstalling colord as suggested by Holger

See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=903022 which looks to be the same bug.

Salient points are that it's fixed upstream, and there's a patch there for f-spot which disables the loading of cms profiles, intended as an interim measure till Stephen Shaw works out a release for the fix.

Disabling color management in f-spot seems preferable to disabling it system wide as suggested here by Jasper van der Neut

[mc0e (xgcsufw02)]

uninstalling colord as in #6 doesn't seem to work for me. I'm not entirely clear whether this is a new bug though.

I renamed .config/f-spot, and then ran f-spot and got the following. f-spot is able to get as far as putting the error in a dialog this time, though the text below is from the console.

Stephen, can we have an update on this? It seems to me that if we don't have a fix, then we should roll back to a working version if that's possible? Or is this about interaction with other components which have changed?
