[Crash] Segmentation fault

**malmeida** · December 19th, 2009, 02:24 PM

I'm on Linux (Ubuntu Karmic) and I decided to test Boxee beta.

I deleted the .boxee directory. However, after adding a local files folder I suffer from random Segmentation fault crashes. The stdout doesn't give any error message - I tested running boxee from the shell, looking at the info in the stdout and then play around in Boxee.

I attach the logfile.

Ubuntu, as any major Linux distribution, works fine. Boxee beta doesn't seem to be working well, though.

Any helpful information is appreciated.

I was getting a crash as well when I first installed the Beta. I had the Alpha running great on this box with Jaunty. When I got my Beta invite I upgraded to Karmic then installed the Beta and it would crash everytime I would login. I did a fresh install of Xubuntu and then installed the Beta and now it works fine.

It's probably not at all convenient for everybody, but it was easy enough for me considering Boxee is the only thing I use this box for and it seems to have fixed whatever was causing the crashing.
