#202 Core dump on Ubuntu Quantal 64 bit

[Markus Baertschi]

I installed the latest sonic package (deb package) on my Ubuntu 12.10 machine (Quantal) and found that is crashes immediately when you try to open a file. Just clicking File - Open generates a core dump.

Debian package installed:

markus@markus-ThinkPad-W530:~/Downloads$ dpkg -l "sonic*"

Starting sonic-visualizer and clicking on 'File' - 'Open'

I couldn't reproduce this on Xubuntu 12.10. Can you get any sort of stack trace? i.e. run

$ gdb ./sonic-visualiser
(gdb) run
(gdb) thread apply all backtrace
$

I don't think a trace will have much detail in it (the build won't have debug symbols) but it might give some hint.
