Segmentation fault running Picard

It looks like this is a pretty old thread, but your issue may have something to do with recent updates that landed in GNOME, which were released to Ubuntu about a week ago. More information on that can be seen here:

Ubuntu 23.04 Drag'n Drop not allowed

It used to work with no problems, suddenly when trying to drag’n drop items it shows a “Not Allowed” sign. I can do right click and load selected files, it works on file browser pane but moving songs from one track to another with drag’n drop not working and can’t find another way to do it Here is the debug log: D: 14:49:59,062 /usr/lib/picard/picard/tagger.__init__:245: Starting Picard from '/usr/lib/picard/picard/tagger.py' D: 14:49:59,062 /usr/lib/picard/picard/tagger.__init__:246: Platfor…

With regard to the error message, your system is nudging you to investigate a windowing system issue between the newer Wayland, vs. legacy X11. Have you tried running Picard over either protocol?

e.g., from the command line:

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb, followed by picard
—or—
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland followed by picard?

If so, were there any error messages, or did the application load successfully between the two systems?

So what is this Qplayer anyway? Is it like a player for local files or something similar to the last.fm radio?

QMediaPlayer is the Qt class that allows the player at the bottom of Picard. This lets you preview tracks that are loaded into Picard.
