KiCad 3D render coredumps after latest Manjaro/Arch updates - libEGL_mesa is suspect

Since this week’s Manjaro updates 3D render in KiCad’s pcb editor fails with core dumps. Never did this before latest updates. Version info is:

I looked at the coredump and the bt top shows a SEGFAULT from /usr/lib/libEGL_mesa.so.0

Any help would be appreciated. Top of bt below:

I have the same issue with Arch Linux. Both version 6.0.10 and the latest git version (r5dce8323e8). I opened a bug report. But it could be an OS specific issue.

What happens if you go to an older version of mesa?

The issue occurs with mesa-22.3+. With mesa-22.2.4 it seems to be OK.

OK, I would recommend reporting it to mesa then, it’s unlikely to be a KiCad bug.

I made a report

mesa_glthread=false seems to address it.

Thank you. I’ll be able totest in Manjaro tomorrow night.

Out of my league. I’ll need to wait for brighter minds.

firewalker: since the Manjaro mesa update seems like it will be longer than I can wait, a couple of weeks ago I have put your suggested “mesa_glthread=false” into /etc/environment and now I can 3D render while waiting for the mesa update. Thanks for posting it.
