Labelimg: Segmentation fault (core dumped) - Ubuntu 16.04

[VanitarNordic]

Hi,

I can not run the executable file because of this error:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Interesting. I only tried it on ubutnu14.04. Are you running it on a 32-bit and 64-bit CPU?

[VanitarNordic]

64bit- Ubuntu 16.04. I run the software from the python code and it worked flawlessly but the executable no.

@VanitarNordic ,
Are you running on i386 or amd64?

[VanitarNordic]

x64 intel processor

Same problem here.

But I have to point I've had issues running the make all. Output was :

*** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.

[VanitarNordic]

@arnaudmiribel

Make sure the path is correct when you run make all

[arnaudmiribel]

I do a cd in the labelImg main directory though..

[VanitarNordic]

Where is your make file? you should do in that path where related files exist

[arnaudmiribel]

Oh well I thought I could only use binaries but seems like by themselves it doesn't work.
I instead cloned the repo and was able to make of course. Now it works. Thanks for your help.

try sudo ./labelImg

@hejiangda your comment solved it for me.

I'm also running Ubuntu 16.04 inside a vm. Not sure how my cpu translates within the vm, but my system is an i7-6700HQ.

Hi,

I have the same problem. Initially I thought it is some problem related to JDK on ubuntu 16 system as Matlab software keep giving me an error of graphics issue. I am trying to process some images using GAMMA software in terminal and it gives me this segmentation problem. I am a beginner. I'd really appreciate if some can provide any assistance. Thank u

This fixed it for me
(python 3.5.3, virtualenv, Debian 4.9.110, pip3, lxml, pyqt5)

Was trying to load labelImg within a virtualenv 'venv'. Got the segfault.

I opened an interactive python3 terminal and ran:

from PyQt5 import QtCore
Segmentation fault.

I opened a new terminal with "sudo python3" and repeated the command. This time it worked properly.

So I created a brand new virtualenv:

virtualenv venv2 --system-site-packages

I did another git clone && re-ran the installation instructions for Python 3 + Qt5. This time I did not get the segmentation fault and labelImg loaded properly.

In my case it seems like the segmentation fault is the result of a permissions problem when trying to import subpackages from PyQt5. That being said, 'venv2' referenced the same global packages (pyqt5 is a global package) as 'venv'. Perhaps there were conflicting packages in 'venv'.
