ANKI quit unexpectedly on Monterey 12.6.1, from Add/Browse screens

Anki Desktop
1

Dear users (hopefully more tech-saavy :wink: )

I have only installed ANKI about two weeks ago - I´m on Macbook, OS Monterey, version 12.6.1, chip Apple M1 (I installed the Silicon version of ANKI).

For the first two days ANKI worked fine, and then - all of a sudden - it started crashing after I leave the Add or Browse screens. I open ANKI, then I choose the deck, then I use Add/Browse, and when I click the red mark to close it - the whole app closes/quits and I immediately get the “Reopen/Ignore/Send to Apple” screen. There is no specific error message, but there are logs from the “Send to Apple” (I saved them and will try to add them to this thread).

I have performed the following action (following (When problem occurs page):

  • I searched the forum but only found a few threads with suggestions that I personally did not identify as solutions for my issues (but, I have no idea about crashing on Mac…) :frowning:
  • I closed the app naturally a few times (I opened ANKI, synchronized, and closed - a few times).
  • I restarted my laptop.
  • I opened ANKI without any add-ons (I have AwesomeTTT, Relplay button and Big Colorful Buttons installed, nothing else).
  • I checked the database, performed with no issues.
  • I reinstalled ANKI for the Intel processor.
  • I reinstalled ANKI for the last stable version (when it started crashing after a few openes during the dane, I went back to the latest Silicon version).
  • I updated my system to the latest Monterey updates.
  • I didn’t do anhything for video codecs becuase there was no link to Macbook (I’m not very computer-savvy).

However, after a few uses (even within one day), the app goes back to crashing every time I exit Add/Browse screens, sometimes randomly as well… I’m at the end of my wits :frowning:

Can anyone help please? And if you can, please be detailes, as you’re speaking to a 5yo child so I can understand :wink:

Thank you!!

There is a limit on characters, so the forum won’t accept the log information - is there a way I can attach a Notepad file, maybe? Or is there a specific part of the log I could provide?

Please include the first ~100 lines of the logs here. What language are you typing in to your cards?

Hi! I’m using Polish, Swedish and Spanish. I thought maybe the AwesomeTTS is messing the file with sounds, but when I used ANKI without add-ons (with shift), it kept quitting anyway :slight_smile:

Here is the crash report, if it’s not enough I have the rest :wink:

The error message does look like the issue could be related to text input. If you experiment a bit, do the crashes seem connected to one of those languages - eg if you only input Polish and Spanish for example, do they go away? It looks like a bug in the toolkit Anki’s built on unfortunately.

6

Hi! Please give me a little while to test it, I didn’t pay any attention to this. For some reason, I thought turning the add-ons means it’s not connected to languages - but now that you mentioned it, they seem to be two different things… I will play around today and tomorrow and I will report later!

7

Update after a few days of putting various languages into a testing deck, using sounds and all the weird letters :slight_smile: Well… So far so good! Like, literally, just the fact that you took an interest scared the error, I guess! I swear to god, I did all the things before, and it was crashing, and now it behaves well!

I’m testing every day, adding random languages and letters and I’ll let you know immediately when things crash :slight_smile: Thank you!

8

Hopefully it stays that way! :crossed_fingers:

9

So far so good, and I’ve been using different card types, switching between online and app, and using mobile! So yay! Let’s keep our fingers crossed for infinite days, haha! Thanks!

P.S. I think it was one of those cases when it doesn’t work for you, and then It comes over and bam! it works! So maybe it was enough that you @dae ! So thanks!

10

Dear @dae , it just now started happening again. I have no idea if this is related: I switched between Polish and Spanish on one card (I did this multiple times before as well), and it crashed. Immediately after I received a request to update AwesomeTTS. I did, re-opened ANKI a few times (every time now when I’m in Add/Browse and leave the screen the app quits. I also open ANKI and did nothing, rebuild the database, and closed without entering Add/Browse screen. And then I opened ANKI with shift, so no add-ons, and the same thing was happening.

This is the beginning of the crash log:

Any ideas? Now it crashes every time after I’m done with Add-Browser )it doesn´t crash after adding cards, just after the final exit from the window it also doesn´t crash when I´m entering other features (Study session or Stats, for example).

11

If it’s happening after restarting Anki, that seems to imply something about your computer’s state - maybe a reboot will make it go away for a while? If so, this could be a macOS bug.

12

Hmm, considering no other software is doing this, and you yourself pointed towards a text input window in ANKI, the “macOS bug” sounds uncertain… Now I’m back to the error behavior :frowning:

13

Did you try rebooting to see if it made any difference?

14

Always :slight_smile: Currently the state of things is that it works for a day or two, and then starts crashing again, so I have to delete it and install again, and then it works for a while and then crashes. It’s not the worst solution (my files stay in, even after it crashed using Add, the card I added is actually added), but of course a little bothersome :slight_smile:

15

That’s surprising - I would not expect removing/reinstalling the app to make a difference. Is it possible there’s another explanation, such as a certain amount of time elapsing or some other action you’re taking?

In any case, I’m afraid this is probably not something we can easily address - it’s likely either a bug in the toolkit Anki is built on, or in macOS that the toolkit is somehow managing to trigger. The fact that it comes and goes could mean that the issue is sensitive to the state of the machine, such as what happens to be in memory at the time.

Some things you could try:

  • the latest beta version, which uses an updated toolkit: Anki 2.1.55 Beta 3+
  • the slower Intel version of Anki, either Qt5 or Qt6
16

Yes, I’m already playing with different installation packages. I think I accepted this fate, at least until I can find a replacement. Sadly, because I love what you’ve done, this is not a very efficient way of using ANKI. Maybe next version will help :slight_smile:
