Context

Few months ago (I don't remember a specific cause), the gitk UI starts showing a strange behavior. 80% of the time, when I start the app in a repository it will display a broken interface. And if I restart gitk few times, the wayland session will crash (Actually I'm not sure about that, I am still logged in). Besides, everything works fine with the desktop environment.

Flow

  1. Login-in plasma wayland, no error to this point, every app is looking god, no crashes.
  2. Opening gitk/git-gui in a repository folder (Any one).
  3. Usually, it doesn't crash the first time, it only shows a broken interface (See picture).
  4. Closing and restarting the app in the same folder.
  5. Gitk does not start, the screen become black for 1sec, and the wayland session is restarted.
  6. All previously opened apps are closed but we are still logged-in, a Akonadi server crash notification appears.

Trials and failures

  • Currently I have gitk-2.41.0-1.fc37.noarch installed, but I also tried with gitk-2.37.3-1.fc37.noarch (+ all related git packages).
  • I tried to unset all gui.geometry values in config.
  • I installed unifont (don't remember if it was already here).
  • Of courses it crashes in every repository, with any history.
  • I changed the fonts used be gitk, same behavior.

Logs and config

Pastebin to sudo journalctl -rxp 3 --since {crash}

  • If I understood correctly, StackOverflow is for asking programming questions. This question should be in a KDE dedicated forum. Not sure if there is one on stackexchange, but superuser would fit better. Or even the kde subreddit. – Qsiris Jul 06 '23 at 05:39
  • I have the exactly same problem, also on KDE 5.27 on Wayland. Could you open an issue on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues and on https://bugs.kde.org/ too? You've gathered a lot of debug information, it's a complete bug report. – CodeSandwich Jul 12 '23 at 18:50
