Same problem for me. I just upgraded to Heron, and I've noticed that Xterm sometimes works and sometimes does not. For example, I just tried all the xterm commands which tadowguy filled in in the first post, and they sometimes worked, and sometimes did not. (yes, I re-ran them a couple times).
Right now I've discovered that "xterm +sb" worked four times in a row. It seems to work every time. $ xterm -sb Segmentation fault $ echo $? 139 package name: $ dpkg -S $(which xterm) xterm: /usr/bin/xterm my version of Xterm: $ xterm -version XTerm(229) I cant find a core dump (I've set 'ulimit -c 1024') in pwd nor in /var/crash. -- xterm segfaults randomly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/219294 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
