The attached patch seems to fix the crash in 14.04 LTS on one of my computers where I saw the crash.
In a VM I didn't even have the crash. ** Patch added: "workaround_crash_in_non_gnomeshell.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pitivi/+bug/1307746/+attachment/4226159/+files/workaround_crash_in_non_gnomeshell.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pitivi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1307746 Title: pitivi crashed with SIGSEGV in __GI___pthread_mutex_lock() Status in PiTiVi , Non-linear video editor: Expired Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just upgraded to Kubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) yesterday, and pitivi stopped working.
