It turns out qgis was removed from Ubuntu 12.04 shortly before it was released. (Presumably due to this and other problems, see bug 935395 for details.) It was then re-added in Ubuntu 12.10 where it seems to run fine without any crashes. I therefore believe this can be closed since the package was removed from 12.04 making it impossible to trigger the issue there and it is working fine in newer releases.
If anyone want qgis in previous versions of Ubuntu, it might be possible to get it in via a backport. See instructions for "Requesting a Backport" at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports#Requesting_a_Backport for details. ** Changed in: qgis (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/941421 Title: qgis.bin crashed with SIGSEGV in initgui() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qgis/+bug/941421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
