Description

Is there an existing issue for this?
  • I checked and did not find my issue in the already reported ones
Describe the bug

Crash on startup. Did not recur when I started darktable again. The crash was the third or fourth time I started darktable today. None of the other starts had any issues. dt is just a script that only runs darktable "$@" and does nothing else.

$sleep 2; dt ./
     0.0001 [dt starting]
 darktable ./

Research direction

Start by running the reported dt ./ command on Debian unstable with the listed darktable and GTK package versions. No project file or test is named, and the crash is not reproducible; progress would require a reproducible failure or diagnostic evidence that identifies whether darktable or the GTK stack is responsible.
