Crash on opening PDF

[Krzmbrzl]

Im using TexStudio on Manjaro Linux and I am currently experiencing that it will crash on opening some PDFs in the internal viewer.
It will print out

crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
crashed with signal SIGSEGV
Forced kill after recovering failed after: SIGSEGV

in the console and then it's gone.

This behaviour does only occur when using the internal PDF viewer

how is your document compiled ? lualatex ?

[Krzmbrzl]

Yes it's compiled via latexmk with the -pdflatex=lualatex option

[sunderme]

lualatex/texlive2019 has a bug concerning synctex. We have used a newer version of synctex in our newer builds. So build txs from current git state or use build from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:jsundermeyer/texstudio-2.12.8 (beta)

Alright thank you very much for the support!

I am currently building from the current master-branch and I'll report back whether it worked.

As a side-note: The site you provided for downloading the beta doesn't seem to actually contain the respective file... The texstudio-2.12.8.orig.tar.gz does not have a button for downloading it.

EDIT: The build was successful -> We'll see whether the problems is fixed in the next days I think

@sunderme until which version is the bug in synctex? The latest on Texlive is now synctex-45839

If it is possible, can you please upload newer build for MS Windows?

I use texstudio-2.12.7-dev-hg6820-dev-win-portable-qt5.9.1

I have prepared a new package for gentoo. If you can tag a release (2.12.7 for instance) soon, we could ship the latest fixes to our users. I think there has been a lot progress since 2.12.6 (thank you for this at this point) and it is worth to make a bump.
If it is not on schedule soon, we will have to think about a patch release 2.12.6_p2018...

Okay since using the up-to-date-build no further crashes occured.
Considering that it crashed every 2-3 compilations I think it's save to say that the bug is indeed fixed with the new version.
