Confirming here that this bug is still present as of today. Curiously, logging in as a different user on the same system makes it possible to start eog. Unfortunately, that isnt quite an acceptable workaround.
Running eog under strace gives the following output: ... fstat(20, {st_mode=0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 fcntl(20, F_GETFL) = 0x2 (flags O_RDWR) write(2, "\n(eog:11840): GRIP-CRITICAL **: "..., 104 (eog:11840): GRIP-CRITICAL **: register_internal: assertion `GRIP_IS_GESTURE_MANAGER (manager)' failed ) = 104 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ ( I can attach the full trace if desired) It seems that some races were fixed in this release related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libgrip/+bug/827958 But it seems that those fixes werent quite enough. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872022 Title: eog crash GRIP-CRITICAL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/872022/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
