I had the same problem with large files; that's because kernel.shmmax seems too small by default (256M).
Try adding the following to /etc/sysctl.conf and run 'sysctl -p' or reboot: [...] kernel.shmmax=536870912 [...] This will double the value to 512M. It fixed my problems. Try other values if this didn't work in your case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241752 Title: Crash when opening image files larger than 5M (>5M) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/1241752/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
