loaded fresh install of Kubuntu 16.10 on HP Pavilion dv6000 Notebook Discover crashes every time with a segmentation fault. Sorry, but the "file report" window says debug info is useless. KDE Plasma: 5.7.5 KDE Frameworks: 5.26.0 Qt Version: 5.6.1 Kernel: 4.8.0-27-generic OS Type: 64-bit AMD processor with 2.8 GiB RAM Graphics Card: NVIDIA C67 (GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M) Display Driver: nouveau -- resolution 1280x800 Notes: -- using the nvidia driver causes blank screen at boot (presumably at the login screen) -- if booting with 'nomodeset', graphics is default vga, and discover does not crash -- previous version Kubuntu 15.10 worked ok (wish I still had the iso so I could reinstall that) -- tried reinstalling 16.10, no difference Matt
Doesn't it happen with any other application? We need more information than that...
well... plasma crashes once in a while too (same thing with the debug report, says it's useless for you). Otherwise, so far other apps seem to work ok, though I haven't used the system that heavily after reloading kubuntu... and I've managed to install updates & other apps ok. Sorry about lack of info... but if you guide me through what I can do to get more specifics, I'll be happy to work at it.
Can you check if the kirigamigallery application also crashes?
(In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #3) > Can you check if the kirigamigallery application also crashes? cannot find kirigamigallery (or kirigami) app to download/install... ?
As I use this setup (fresh install of Kubuntu 16.10), plasma keeps crashing every so often (in addition to above reported unusable Discover).
a little more info (in addition to above)... a fresh install - nothing added - compositor turned off with 'nomodeset' xrand shows vga display at 1024x768 -- discover works fine without nomodeset xrand shows LVDS1 at 1280x800 -- discover will not run HTH
@ Matt Z. You could add this ppa to get newest Nvidia graphis-driver: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa Beforehand it might be interesting what you have installed: dpkg-query -l *nvidia*
Seems like it's a problem with the graphics driver, not much we can do here.
