@mihael Wow, that's quite a listing. I wrote a quick script to pull all of these from the store and install them, however I have quickly found that a lot of these are no longer available in the store.

Do you have a lot of apps installed and left over from the 15.04 days?

[dobey]

@mihael OK. I've downloaded and installed all the ones which still are installable from open store, and while it does make loading the Storage page quite slow, there is no crash for me in settings.

@mihael
I edited your post.
To add a code text, you can click on the icon </>

Or you can use pastebin and post the link...

[mihael]

@dobey Thanks for looking into this... I appreciate it very much. Yes I have a lot of old apps that I maybe never use...

[mihael]

@applee Thank you very much!

[dobey]

@mihael OK. Can you do sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_1612crash and see if this resolves the crash for you?

Thanks.

@dobey Wow! This fixed system settings! Now it opens the app and it can go in the About menu. Thank you very much! It updated libsystemsettings1 and ubuntu-system-settings.

Would you have a symilar fix for Open Store?

[marlboro50]

@dobey
I ran the code "sudo ubports-qa install xenial_-_1612crash" as you suggested to @mihael and it worked for me, at least until the next channel change or upgrade.
Thank you! Good job.

[dobey]

@mihael said in System Settings does not start anymore on rc channel:

Would you have a symilar fix for Open Store?

I don't know what is happening there, but it seems like it is not crashing. Anyway, let's not misdirect this thread for that.

[mihael]

@dobey One more thing: what was the problem and how did you fix it? Thanks again!

[dobey]

@mihael It was some poor memory handling in the code, which was exposed by some changes that were merged recently. So I fixed the code.

[mihael]

@dobey Wow! Great. How come this memory problem didn't affect everybody?

[dobey]

@mihael It only happens when a certain types of click is installed, so only people who might have certain old clicks will hit the issue.

[marlboro50]

@dobey
I have reinstalled the OS on devel. No sign of problems in neither "system settings" nor the "about" sub menu. I'd say the bug is fixed. Once again, thanks for the great effort.
