This bug was fixed upstream in commit [c34acb] "Fix crash in ps/pdf bitmap background import via ghostscript" on March 21, 2015. https://sourceforge.net/p/xournal/code/ci/c34acb584baf71ef00086583b80d32f84e75bde0/
"Load background" for pdf's is a very poorly implemented feature and should be removed soon from xournal or rewritten differently -- all it does is convert the PDF to a medium-resolution PNG image to draw on top of, rather than keep the pdf's contents. So I don't recommend ever using it anyway, at least if you plan on exporting or printing your annotations. Most likely, you'll obtain better results if you only ever use "annotate PDF" in the file menu (or open a PDF, as you call it), and use pdf manipulation tools (e.g. pdfseparate / pdfunite) to make the pdf file you need before opening it in case you want to draw on top of multiple PDFs in a single xournal document. Anyway: the crash problem itself has been fixed for a while. Please ask the Ubuntu maintainer to rebase the package on a more recent git/cvs upstream version, or at least to incorporate the patch to src/xo-file.c (or even simpler, change "rb" to "r" in the popen() call as reported on bug #1275130. That and a tiny bit more is basically what the commit listed above does). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1262925 Title: xournal crash in iofclose.c when loading background.
