For me, the crash (assuming it's the exact same one) happens when I have my laptop (Dell Latitude D620) in a port replicator, booted with an external monitor on the port replicator and also with the lid open.

Running gnome- display-properties will crash. If I run xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1280x800, the built-in display comes up (with the semi-expected panel sizing problems), and running 'gnome-display-properties' will work properly. -- gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in _start() https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259169 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
