Cannot open V.0.9 on Fedora 38, getting std::bad_alloc error when running from terminal
Cannot open V.0.9 on Fedora 38, getting std::bad_alloc error when running from terminal
Release 0.9 does not want to open, even after a complete reinstall. If I launch it from the Terminal I get the following error:

I have already posted an issue on GitLab just before this post, maybe someone here knows the answer then I can close the issue.
First, your plugins are incompatible (if you're using version 0.8 plugins and 0.9 OpenRGB, you will need to get 0.9 plugins which haven't gone up on the website yet but are on the plugin GitLab pages). As for the other error, try removing the plugins and see if that fixes it, but otherwise I'm thinking it's a Fedora-specific issue and I have zero familiarity with Fedora or rpm packaging. Would need to ask whoever packaged it for Fedora. If you're using the OpenRGB website rpms I don't remember exactly who made the builder for those.
Hey thanks, I did exactly that (removing all plugins) and it works now. I forgot to comment here, but I already closed the issue on the GitLab Repo. Thanks for creating OpenRGB btw, I don't think I would still be on Linux without it!
Did you open a bug report on the Fedora side?
Nope, I opened an issue on the OpenRGB GitLab page. Since previous versions of OpenRGB didn't have this issue I'm guessing that it's not a Fedora issue, but I could be wrong of course!
It could be a dependency issue, and even if OpenRGB is truly at fault here, the patch would be backported way earlier if the maintainer know about the problem.
As a general rule, always open a ticket on the maintainer side first, then open it on the upstream side if the maintainer tell you to do so. It helps rule out many problems upstream cannot easily test before asking them to sink time into the problem.
