[Bug 918919] Re: gedit crashes with SIGSEV when opening a file

 

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or
challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these
instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can
be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Title:
  gedit crashes with SIGSEV when opening a file

Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  gedit dies if i try to open the attached file, there is no difference between opening via drag&drop, commandline or the open dialogue. No idea if the apport-generated stuff helps ...
  By the way, gedit also dies if it should overwrite a file which has been modified by another program.

  Enabled plugins: file manager bar, insert date/time, terminal, smart
  spaces, show spaces, multi-edit, modelines, code-comment, spell
  checker, session saver, sorting, synctex, join/split lines and
  statistics.
