We need complete gdb backtrace with debugging symbols enabled[1] in transmission itself, and all of it's reverse dependencies. [1] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
Created attachment 305251 [details] backtrace is this what you're looking for ?
Looking better but still need to increase verbosity. Throwing some ideas, USE="debug" for dev-libs/glib http://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.30/glib-running.html http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/EnvironmentVariables export TR_DEBUG_FD=2 export G_DEBUG=fatal_warnings gdb transmission run thread all apply bt And those ?? usually indicate you've missed one or two dependencies of transmission and they are missing the debugging symbols.
Be sure to compile dev-libs/glib and gnome-base/gvfs as instructed by the gentoo backtrace guide. Without stripping and with debugging symbols, as in FEATURES="nostrip" and CFLAGS="-ggdb".

Without stripping and with debugging symbols, as in > FEATURES="nostrip" and CFLAGS="-ggdb". And of course same for transmission itself. Same for CXXFLAGS and -ggdb since transmission has C++ pieces.
OK, reopen with more verbose backtrace showing the line numbers of the crash. Thank you
Created attachment 305571 [details] backtrace alright, I did all that. This is what I got so far...
#3 0x0000000000433c9e in gtr_torrent_options_dialog_new (parent=0x810df0, core=0x74a820, ctor=0xa40100) at open-dialog.c:284 if( tr_ctorGetDownloadDir( ctor, TR_FORCE, &str ) ) g_assert_not_reached( ); hmm, it's crashing while trying to determine download directory(?) does transmission also crash for a new user? or alternatively can you try removing ~/.config/transmission and ~/.cache/transmission out of the way? make sure to check also directory permissions inside your homedir, like for Downloads/ so that they are not owned by root and not writable by user same for /tmp which should be 1777
(In reply to comment #8) > hmm, it's crashing while trying to determine download directory(?) Actually it crashes when I add links, it adds the torrent file successfully then when you start it crashes, if it works when you start it and you try to edit the settings it crashes. > does transmission also crash for a new user? > or alternatively can you try removing ~/.config/transmission and > ~/.cache/transmission out of the way? > make sure to check also directory permissions inside your homedir, like for > Downloads/ so that they are not owned by root and not writable by user > same for /tmp which should be 1777 tried all this and it still crashed. I forgot to mention that transmission-qt works perfectly with no problems at all...
Reported this to: http://trac.transmissionbt.com Ticket number: #5959 It's waiting for moderation.
Maybe it's this? https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4573
(In reply to comment #11) > Maybe it's this? https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/4573 Looks like it. http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-p2p/transmission/files/transmission-2.50-segfault.patch?rev=1.1&content-type=text/plain http://sources.gentoo.org/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/net-p2p/transmission/ChangeLog?r1=1.186&r2=1.187
I retested the =net-p2p/transmission-2.50-r2 and it works great.
