One day running old 4.3 skype in openSUSE Tumbleweed accidentally got error:

Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf",

Segmentation fault (core dumped)


Previously all worked just fine. Probably some OS update or whatever.

    if I disable Skype's AppArmor rules (and risk letting this monster roam free), it works again without the segfault. journalctl --follow clearly shows app armor rejecting read opens to /usr/share/fonts-config/font.avail/ (where symlinks from /etc/fonts/conf.d/ point to) the exact moment when skype crashes.

  • @DrYak, strange it worked for me before with same apparmour. Yes, You are right works now with default skype profile from /usr/share/apparmor/extra-profiles/ which is even less rigorous than I had. And need to patch skype like I mentioned above.

    if I disable Skype's AppArmor rules (and risk letting this monster roam free), it works again without the segfault. journalctl --follow clearly shows app armor rejecting read opens to /usr/share/fonts-config/font.avail/ (where symlinks from /etc/fonts/conf.d/ point to) the exact moment when skype crashes.

  • @DrYak, strange it worked for me before with same apparmour. Yes, You are right works now with default skype profile from /usr/share/apparmor/extra-profiles/ which is even less rigorous than I had. And need to patch skype like I mentioned above.
