Description Jan Remes 2022-10-18 14:00:59 UTC
Description of problem:

On my Fedora 36, mattermost-desktop is regularly crashing with the following in journal:
mattermost-desk[38352]: segfault at 164002a32000 ip 00007f29cca33c95 sp 00007ffe25a7c410 error 4 in libappindicator3.so.1.0.0[7f29cca2f000+6000]

According to https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/issues/1235, this issue is tied to libappindiactor upstream bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libappindicator/+bug/1867996. The patches that fix the upstream bug seem not to be applied to Fedora's libappindicator.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libappindicator-12.10.0-32.fc36.x86_64


How reproducible:
Extended usage of Mattermost Dektop (possibly other Electron applications as well) causes the application to crash.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.

Comment 1 Jose Angel Torres 2022-10-30 06:22:59 UTC
This issue has causes Docker Desktop to seg fault in Fedora 37. A work around has been known for quite some time, libappindicator needs to be patched and bumped to v12.10.1. 
Docker Desktop is completely unusable on Fedora.

Regular crashes with Docker Desktop give the following error:
[  439.483568] Docker Desktop[4668]: segfault at 1e2401e56000 ip 00007f7fbbff1c85 sp 00007ffd086cac60 error 4 in libappindicator3.so.1.0.0[7f7fbbfed000+6000]

Comment 2 Timotheus Pokorra 2022-11-07 22:53:01 UTC
It seems that there has not been a v12.10.1 release at https://launchpad.net/libappindicator

At https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libappindicator/12.10.1+20.10.20200706.1-0ubuntu1 there is a link to 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+sourcefiles/libappindicator/12.10.1+20.10.20200706.1-0ubuntu1/libappindicator_12.10.1+20.10.20200706.1.orig.tar.gz

I was able to build use that tarball to build a package for Fedora.
I have built 12.10.1 for rawhide now.

I will also build it for Fedora 37.
