[Qgis-user] Crash on startup of QGIS 2.8.6 (nightly build)

[Peter Schürch]

Thanks for your suggestions
Here the results:
--noplugins
-> same behaviour

--configpath C:\temp\qgistest
-> works

Rename/delete .qgis2 in home directory
-> same behaviour

The results kind of confuse me. Why does qgis only start if I give it a completely new path for the settings directory? Should I change settings in the registry?!

Hi,
Or you can use different startup options - see http://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/introduction/getting_started.html#command-line-options
with the
--configpath C:\temp\qgistest
You can temporarily set your .qgis2 directory to some other path without loosing your settings. It also writes the Windows registry settings into a QGIS.ini file.
--noplugins helps to disable all plugins
As others said, in 95% of the cases it is because of a broken plugin or setting.

Dear List
I'm running QGIS 2.8.6 (nightly build) after a complete reinstallation of the OSGEO Suite on Windows 8.
QGIS crashes on startup without any useful error message but writing a *.dmp file.
 
Is there any way of retrieving the reason for the crash from the *.dmp file and eventually finding a solution?
 
Remark: I had the same issue with a QGIS 2.12 installation before and therefore I decided to move back to the long-term version... But without success.
 
Thanks for any useful hints how to get back to a running installation of QGIS.
 
Hi,
first thing to try is to rename .qgis2 directory located in our home folder.
Crashes are often caused by python plugins, by renaming your QGIS settings folder, QGIS with re-create .qgis2 with the default settings and no installed plugins.
