Hello Garuda forum friends,
I use plexamp as my desktop music player, and have been using it on Garuda for about a year, originally installed via
paru plexamp-appimage
Additional information that i am not sure is relevant: plexamp knows it’s a version behind (4.12 on AUR vs 4.13 from the official site) and the app tries to update itself with a new appimage when it closes, which isn’t allowed. I don’t think this is important, because whatever error causes plexamp to erroneously shutdown surely isn’t related to it trying (and expectedly failing) to get a new version post-shutdown – but you will see lines in the journalctl showing how it tries to update.
Starting today, Plexamp’s been crashing on me without warning a few minutes after I launch it.
journalctl says all this about it:

From the journalctl excerpt above, the line that stands out to my untrained eyes is
terminated abnormally with signal 11/SEGV
I found the following web pages describing Signal 11 -
https://www.liquidweb.com/blog/signal11/
I am not really sure how to proceed with troubleshooting… could it really be a hardware issue with my RAM? Plexamp is the only thing I’ve seen crash, and only today. Maybe some library issue? I’m not sure what I am guessing at.
The other line from journalctl above that has me curious is about the gpu crash?
Nov 03 14:11:24 veltas-prime env[19426]: [19426:1103/141124.115120:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(993)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_c>
Nov 03 14:11:24 veltas-prime env[19426]: Error: GPU process (undefined) crashed (139)
I’m not sure if that is indicating some additional or root problem with the GPU or if this is just a natural subsequent outcome of the preceding plexamp crash…
Exit Code 139 Explained: Common Causes and How to Fix It this page seems to suggest that the 139 exit code on the GPU process happens because of the earlier segmentation fault, so I guess the gpu crash is not a problem, plexamp crashing is the root cause and this is a side effect?
What do you all think?
As is tradition, I include my inxi output as well:
