YACReader Library crashes

Hello
I try to use YACReader on Xubuntu 16.04 but when I update the library, YACReader crashes.
I try to launch the application from a terminal. At the moment of the crash, an error "segmentation fault" is returned...
What can I do ?
Thanks for the help.

Hello Nicolas and welcome to the forum.

Please provide a little more information. Where is your library located? Local storage or NAS? Xubuntu 32 bit or 64 bit? Are there any informations displayed on the console before the segfault happens?

Properly investigating this bug might need recompiling YACReader with debug information enabled and running it in a debugger. Don't worry, I'll look into making a debug-package and the debugger stuff is easy in the case of segfaults.

Thanks for the answer.
My library is local. My Xubuntu is the Voyager Distribution in 64 bits.

Here is the display of the terminal when I start YACReader Library :

Erreur de segmentation


Thanks again for the help !

I think I have an idea what might be causing this. Please run this command in the console and post the output here:

ls -l /mnt/840da7a6-9178-4a09-b9cc-800eb542b8f6

Here it is :
ls -l /mnt/840da7a6-9178-4a09-b9cc-800eb542b8f6

I changed the name of my Home folder by ££££££££££££...

An idea ?

Yes, actually. Your library is corrupted. Here's the problem:

INFO 2016-12-06T19:56:09.947 Starting to update folder "" in library ( "/mnt/840da7a6-9178-4a09-b9cc-800eb542b8f6/bandes_dessinees" , "/mnt/840da7a6-9178-4a09-b9cc-800eb542b8f6/bandes_dessinees/.yacreaderlibrary" )

See the "" after "folder"? There should be a path to the folder being updated there, or maybe a name, but there isn't. This is what causes the segfault. It might be solvable by deleting and re-creating library. If you want to try this approach please make a backup copy of this file:

This is YACReaderLibrary's settings file which also contains some library data. I might need it for fixing the bug that caused this problem. I don't know yet what caused this situation but my current guess is that you might have some directories with french characters in the name. I will try to trigger this bug on my system on the weekend.

Huge thanks for the help. Here is the file :

I've found the problem !
A corrupted PDF file in the library...
Thanks for the help anyway !

Can you send me that file so I can make sure this can be correctly processed in the future?
