Am running Slack64-current with AlienBob's latest KDE-5 build. Saw there was a new Filezilla version so built and installed the dependencies and built Filezilla using the SBo script. Built fine and I installed it. When I try to run it it segfaults -

tom@missi:~$ filezilla
Reading locale option from /home/tom/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml
Segmentation fault

Here's the output I get from gdb -

tom@missi:~/test$ gdb ./filezilla

Clearly something it doesn't like with the wxWidgets from new wxGTK3. Can someone familiar with things GTK shed some light on the problem please?? Thanks in advance.

Edit: Forgot to say that the previous Filezilla version (the one just before 3.24.0) was running fine.

Found solution on another site. Just remove .config/filezilla directory and alles ist paletti.

I wouldn't mark this as solved, I am having the same issue and deleting the .config/filezilla directory is a temporary fix at best. You also only need to delete the ~/.config/filezilla/filezilla.xml file for the program to start again, and that way you don't lose your saved profiles within filezilla.

That said, I believe this is a bug within wxWidgets that is conflicting with something in my setup, probably my nvidia drivers. Here is my stacktrace from the segfault:

Segfault orginiates at /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0 which is a binary of wxWidgets, unfortunatley I've found threads dealing with this issue from as far back as last April, so it seems to have been around for a while.

Details on my system:
EVGA Nvidia GTX 980
Arch Linux /w kernel 4.9.8-1
nvidia drivers 378.13-1
wxgtk 3.0.2-6
