Per maintainer, Arch Linux does not support Oracle JDK, so there's nothing to fix. Definitely not from Zeal side.

I'll just keep this ticket open for a bit for people's awareness.

Same problem here, when I tried to open 'Docker' docset, Zeal crashed.

BTW, another app golendict in my computer encountered a very similar problem.

*** Error in `goldendict': free(): invalid pointer: 0x00007.... ***
[1]    16... abort (core dumped)

My OS: archlinux

gcc 7.2.0
glibc 2.26-5
qt5-base 5.9.2-1
qt5-webengine 5.9.2-1
qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha2-5

It seems that these problems are related to some libraries of the system? I'm not an expert, just some thoughts here.

SyrakuShaikh on 21 Oct 2017

What do you mean by "open a docset"? Clicking on it in the tree on the left? Could be a Qt WebKit bug, but I don't see it in your stack trace...

trollixx on 21 Oct 2017

Yeah, I mean clicking on the docset in the tree on the left.
It could be a Qt bug. I'll try some downgrades of these qt5 packages for tests.

SyrakuShaikh on 21 Oct 2017

I downgrade:

qt5-webkit (5.212.0alpha2-5 -> 5.9.0-1)
qt5-imageformats (5.9.2-1 -> 5.9.0-1)
qt5-x11extras (5.9.2-1 -> 5.9.0-1)
qt5-webengine 5.9.2-1 -> 5.9.0-2

and recompile aur/zeal-git.

Docker docset turns to be normal; julia, pandas, matplotlib still crash.

SyrakuShaikh on 22 Oct 2017

Further tests show that just downgrading one package

qt5-webkit (5.212.0alpha2-5 => 5.8.0-3)

can fix this problem. Zeal works great now.

SyrakuShaikh on 22 Oct 2017

the same problem with me, and i'm using archlinux, so I cannot downgrade my system

jinlong-hao on 27 Oct 2017

@eppdev Maybe you need a package downgrade in AUR. After installing it, you can downgrade qt5-webkit to fix this problem.

SyrakuShaikh on 27 Oct 2017

Appears to be specific to Arch Linux. Most likely linking issues in qt5-webkit. #807 also has a very strange stack trace.

@Barthalion could you take a look?

trollixx on 27 Oct 2017

@SyrakuShaikh, @trollixx : I downgrade qt5-webkit to 5.8.0, and the problem is solved! thx a lot.

jinlong-hao on 28 Oct 2017

I just tested a new version of qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha2-6, Zeal crashed. So, for now, need to stay with the 5.8.0 version.

SyrakuShaikh on 28 Oct 2017

Same here. Archlinux as well. 5.9.0 doesn't work, and downgrading to qt5-webkit-5.8.0-3 can solve the problem.

ppwwyyxx on 30 Oct 2017

I'm using qt5-webkit-5.9.0-1 on Manjaro and it works.

ivoshm on 30 Oct 2017

Sorry folks, I'm traveling till the next week. @antonio-rojas, can you look at it?

@ivoshm: Only by sheer luck, as in 80% Manjaro is Arch - x weeks.

barthalion on 30 Oct 2017

This is caused by (Oracle) Java 9 when QtWebKit tries to load its plugin (no idea how or why). See https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=231222 for more info. Note that Arch doesn't support Oracle Java, only OpenJDK.

antonio-rojas on 30 Oct 2017

@annulen any idea why would Qt WebKit try to load some Java library? Sounds like a regression in 5.212 since reverting solves the problem. Or could be also something Arch specific.

trollixx on 30 Oct 2017

Does this JVM installation provide NPAPI plugin?

It can be that both QtWebKit versions load that file but only in 5.212 it leads to crash.

It would be interesting to see output of gdb command info sharedlibrary after crash

annulen on 30 Oct 2017

@Barthalion No,no ... I downgraded - on Manjaro is crashing 5.212.0alpha2-6 now. But downgrade to 5.9.0 was enough.

@annulen You right - it's Oracle Java 9 ... look at last lines of included "sharedlib" trace in qt5web-crash.txt.

After uninstalling Oracle JDK 9 problem disappeared, after reinstalling is back.

ivoshm on 31 Oct 2017

Future investigation: AUR version of JDK 9 installs in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins link to libnpjp2-jdk9.so. If you remove it (who needs Java in browser this days) - zeal works.

ivoshm on 31 Oct 2017

👍2

It seems you have 2 Java plugins loaded at the same time:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-jdk/jre/lib/amd64/libnpjp2.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-jdk/lib/libnpjp2.so

This may be a source of trouble

annulen on 31 Oct 2017

@annulen No, it's directly Oracle JDK9 ... I try uninstall another JDKs on my machine and problem stays.

ivoshm on 31 Oct 2017

That's the problem between the latest qt5-webkit and oracle jdk9, I have openjdk8、openjdk9 and oracle jdk9, and the problem is solved when I uninstall oracle jdk9

jinlong-hao on 2 Nov 2017

I tried qt5-webkit 5.212.0alpha2-7， the problem still exists.

jinlong-hao on 6 Nov 2017

@eppdev I replaced Oracle JDK with Open JDK and then update qt5-webkit to the latest, the problem is fixed. Maybe you could have a try.

SyrakuShaikh on 6 Nov 2017

Replacing Oracle JDK fixed the problem on my Arch.

Shihira on 6 Dec 2017

Removing Oracle jdk solved the issue. 👍

TheWeirdDev on 14 Dec 2017

👍2

still need to remove oracle jdk with qt5-webkit-5.212.0alpha2-11

jinlong-hao on 20 Dec 2017

Still there is a issue.
Not fixed
Maintainer of QT-Webkit or JDK or Zeal should attention please
If not going to be fixed, port it to GTK is better and more elegant than QT.

ghost on 21 Dec 2017

Per maintainer, Arch Linux does not support Oracle JDK, so there's nothing to fix. Definitely not from Zeal side.

I'm seeing this with OpenJDK10 as well
