Bug ID: 458188 Summary: Failure to launch while using VPN Product: krita Version: 5.1.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: minor Priority: NOR Component: General Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: iz...@outlook.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 151509 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=151509&action=edit Debug log - VPN was disabled at entry 50, wherein it proceeds normally SUMMARY Using Krita 5.1, the software will fail to get past the very first initialization stop on the launcher for Resources if the user is on a VPN. This may be a specific Private Internet Access issue, or it may be a broader issue where Krita fails to start if the DNS resolution is nonstandard. Either way, it's a bug which prevents the software from starting entirely with a Failed to read DNSConfig error produced until the VPN is disabled. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run a VPN which modifies DNS settings (PIA used) OBSERVED RESULT Krita's launcher will get perpetually stuck on the first initialization with debugging reporting Failed to read DnsConfig EXPECTED RESULT Presumably on failing to gain network access after a few retries, the program should abort trying and boot normally. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PIA as tested uses 'WireGuard' VPN. This may be the culprit as an edge case, or it may be a wider issue with abnormal VPN/DNS configurations. As such I've listed it as 'minor'. It's easily resolvable by an end user by split tunnelling however it's a very strange issue which requires some effort to discover by the end user. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
