Originally created by @rooiratel on GitHub (Sep 4, 2018).

qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent version: 4.1.2
OS : Arch Linux (all packages up to date)

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

libtorrent-rasterbar version : 1.1.9
Qt version: 5.11.1

What is the problem

program starts up then it crashes after about 1 second

What is the expected behaviour

Don't crash on startup after power failure.

Steps to reproduce

I was downloading about 5 torrents. I had about 20 paused torrents, and dozens of completed (non-seeding) torrents. The power went out while I was away, and after rebooting my PC, qBittorrent keeps crashing on startup.

Extra info(if any)

When running strace on qbittorrent I saw this:

Thanks for the stacktrace! The crashing package is librsvg. Likely due to a problem when parsing a SVG icon (downloaded from a tracker). Check your filesystems (dmesg for errors and /proc/mounts for readonly mount points when it has to be writable).

Try to disable tracker favicons (close qBt, open ~/.config/qBittorrent/qBittorrent.conf and change Notifications\DownloadTrackerFavicon parameter to 'false')

BTW, @sledgehammer999: in fd5d1583 you moved the settings into Notifications group.

Hi Sorry, I forgot to update. After updating librsvg a few days later to a newer version, the crashes went away.

Ok, so the problem was unrelated to qBIttorrent after all.
