After further analysis, it appears xmir is failing to start, yet pasted is getting started and fails to find the x server and crashes.
An interim solution is to check first if the x server, ie, xmir is running before trying to open the DISPLAY in pasted and if it's not, fail gracefully instead of crashing. The longer term solution is the luancher should check that Xmir starts successfully before moving on and launching pasted and the intended application. ** Also affects: libertine Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libertine/devel Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: libertine/trunk Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libertine/devel Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: libertine/devel Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libertine/devel Assignee: (unassigned) => Christopher Townsend (townsend) ** Changed in: libertine/devel Milestone: None => 1.8 ** Changed in: libertine/trunk Milestone: None => 1.8 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666472 Title: pasted crashed with SIGABRT in qt_message_fatal() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libertine/+bug/1666472/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
