Do you have any Python plugins in ~/.kicad_plugins or other plugin paths? pcbnew started crashing on me with Ubuntu 18.04 and now 18.10 when I install any plugins, works again after removing them. I've attached a gdb dump. I wonder if this is the same bug? Looking at this backtrace it seems like it might be something related to the status bar creation. I'm going to try building Kicad from latest source to see if I can figure out anything more.
