Crash of the desktop client (current and prior version)

Mutual Help
1

The desktop client crashes immediately after start.

I seams only happens if there is a internet connection.

After a short test it seams not to crash if I disconnect the wifi connection.

I have to investigate a bit more before I create a github issue.

Is there a way to create a log file for the Windows- and the Linux client?

You can start the deltachat executable from the comand line with --debug --log-debug --log-to-console to get more information. Also the logfile will contain more information with those arguments.

--log-debug - set the loglevel to debug
--log-to-console - log to the console window that started it.

Also most of the time you see stacktrace on a rust panic when simply starting in a comand line window (otherwise you wouldn’t see it because the output is displayed nowhere)

Thank you.
I will check it out this weekend.

Hello,

I have installed deltachat on my windows 10 and it was working smoothly with my email account. But I got a problem while scrolling up the chat, what I have seen is that the chat is repeating itself while scrolling up and I can see one message multiple time and see those messages on different other chats well.
It’s annoying but restarting the app helps me to fix the issue.

Thanks,
Danish
