   Steps to reproduce

   I copy past the command of the shortcut env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/bitcoin-core_bitcoin-qt.desktop /snap/bin/bitcoin-core.qt %u in a terminal

   The terminal output of the command line Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object weight does not accept value [0 205) [1] 824648 segmentation fault (core dumped) env /snap/bin/bitcoin-core.qt %u

   I installed Bitcoin Core with Snap this summer. Then, I upgraded the system from Ubuntu 23.04 to 23.10 I have not open Bitcoin Core since the upgrade

   Also I follow this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#dependency-build-instructions And install every dependency I see in this page

   Also I follow this https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md#dependency-build-instructions

   There is no need to install dependencies for already packaged Bitcoin Core, since it has the dependencies bundled.

   This issue tracker does not provide fontconfig support, but you can try a search engine of your choice to track down the issue and solutions. It may be related to the fontconfig cache.

   Hello Thank you this command line works https://github.com/keshavbhatt/olivia/issues/95#issuecomment-774747492

   But my wallet is empty?

   May I find it somewhere else? Are there logs?

   If a backup exists, you can restore it from there.

   Are there logs?

   There is a debug.log in the datadir (generally .bitcoin) which shows when Bitcoin Core was started, and possibly wallet logs.

   On Ubuntu 23.10, I’ve installed the Bitcoin Core 26.0 from the “latest/stable” Snap channel.

   The terminal output of the command line Fontconfig warning: FcPattern object weight does not accept value [0 205) [1] 824648 segmentation fault (core dumped) env /snap/bin/bitcoin-core.qt %u

   Cannot reproduce it.

   Hello Thank you this command line works keshavbhatt/olivia#95 (comment)

   Indeed.

   Close or move to GUI repo?

   It does not look like a GUI issue now.

    I think we can close this out for now as it appears to have been a fontconfig issue which is now resolved.
