I believe that this bug occurs when the setting "image-gallery- resizable" is "true". There is no visible setting for this in the gui, but it can be set via gsettings and causes the same error message above:
me@mypc:~$ gsettings set org.gnome.eog.ui "image-gallery-resizable" true me@mypc:~$ eog (eog:16324): GRIP-CRITICAL **: register_internal: assertion `GRIP_IS_GESTURE_MANAGER (manager)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) This problem is still present in Ubuntu 12.04. It was not present in the previous LTS release, so it manifests itself when an upgrade occurs (but perhaps only for a small set of users who have fiddled with this setting.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eog in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/872022 Title: eog crash GRIP-CRITICAL Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: whenever I try to start eog it opens a window for as long as a blink of an eye and crashes immediately with this error message: ---------------------- ceylon@ceylon-desktop:~$ eog (eog:29621): GRIP-CRITICAL **: register_internal: assertion `GRIP_IS_GESTURE_MANAGER (manager)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) ceylon@ceylon-desktop:~$ ---------------------- only the count of GRIP-CRITICAL lines variate.
