[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.18 on Suse Leap 15.2 crashes on opening older project files and on opening geotiff files

[Ko van Huissteden]

Hi all,


I moved my QGIS data a new computer and installed a new version of QGIS 
3.18.

However 3.18 crashes when:

- I try to open my old .qgs project files (previous version 2.18)

- I try to open a geotiff file

Since I cannot open the older project files, I tried to create a new 
project and add layer by layer. Opening shape files works, but the 
raster images (geotiff) cause a crash.

I am quite desperate. I carefully checked the old qgs files with a text 
editor, cannot see anything wrong.

The system is Open Suse Linux Leap 15.2.

Is there a way to import / convert from qgs to the new qgz format? 
Anyone knows the cause of these crashes or a way to circumvent this kind 
of deadlock?
