Hello Everyone:
I just upgraded to Mageia 6 and found that running texstudio causes an immediate crash with the message
Segmentation fault (core dumped). This is from the installed package texstudio-2.12.4-1mga6.x86_64.
Running strace gives a long stream of messages that don't seem suspicious to me, ending with

brk(0x30c9000) = 0x30c9000
brk(0x30ea000) = 0x30ea000
brk(0x310b000) = 0x310b000
brk(0x312c000) = 0x312c000
brk(0x314d000) = 0x314d000
brk(0x316e000) = 0x316e000
--- SIGSEGV {si_signo=SIGSEGV, si_code=SEGV_MAPERR, si_addr=NULL} ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV (core dumped) +++

Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know what to do?

Does that also happen under a freshly created user account?

In case it does, you would need to install the relevant -debuginfo packages and submit a bugreport with a full backtrace. See https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Debugging_software_crashes
and https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_report_a_bug_properly
For completeness's sake and also to allow others to follow up on that bug report, please also post the link to it here in the thread, thanks.

The problem seems to be the configuration file ./config/texstudio/texstudio.ini left over from Mageia 5. After renaming this file, TeXStudio started successfully and recreated the file. I tried this because I found reports of segfaults that were eliminated by editing texstudio.ini, although my file did not have the lines that caused the previous crashes.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
