flatpak app crashes with Nvidia driver, works with Mesa driver

You can install the app Kdenlive (https://kdenlive.org) from flathub (https://flathub.org). When starting the app while using Nvidia’s official driver, the app crashes with the following backtrace:

This does not happen, when using the Mesa driver (nouveau or other).

I’m not sure, but guess it’s a bug in Kdenlive, so I have informed the maintainer about it, but he doesn’t know how to fix it. I’m posting this here in the hope that maybe someone from Nvidia or another knowledgeable developer has some idea.

I haven’t tried editing anything, but using NVIDIA’s 384.111 driver on Fedora 27 with kdenlive-17.12.1-1.fc27.x86_64 it seems to work for me. My guess is that it is actually a bug in the Qt use of OpenGL if it changes depending on OpenGL vendor. Whether or not there is anything NVIDIA could do to work around the Qt crash I don’t know. If you can update Qt (assuming there is an update…I don’t know), perhaps this would change things. FYI, my Qt5 is version 5.9.4-1.fc27.

Please read again, I’m talking about running FLATPAK-based Kdenlive, not the rpm version you are running!

I realize that…but your stack frame shows the failure is in Qt, not kdenlive. My kdenlive is a different version, and probably links to a different Qt. It just seems like the issue is in Qt interacting with the driver, and not with the application. You might want to mention which driver version you use, and which qt5-qtbase version you have.

Maybe if you post line 152 in file /run/build/kdenlive/src/monitor/glwidget.cpp, someone can tell what call is causing the crash.

Then QOffscreenSurface Class | Qt GUI 5.10 ?
