Zotero 7 crashes when using PDF viewer on Fedora 41

racket · 2024-11-16T01:02:10+00:00

I installed the Zotero 7 tarball to ~./local/bin and ran the command zotero.

When scrolling through a large PDF, the program would crash. I received the following error output from the terminal.

```./zotero: line 20: 25002 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$CALLDIR/zotero-bin" -app "$CALLDIR/app/application.ini" "$@"```

Is there any solution for this issue?

Update: Saw a similar issue from four years ago [here](https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/76963/zotero-5-0-66-segmentation-fault-on-startup) so tried ran ```GDK_BACKEND=x11 ./zotero```. Initially appeared better, but crashed with same error.

Attempts to adjust settings also cause Zotero to crash.

Problem still persists. I have attempted to use the flatpak, but crash still occurs. Are there any troubleshooting steps I should take. This greatly interferes with my workflow.

How much memory Zotero uses before the crash?
