I updated my computer yesterday & it broke lyx with the same SIGSEGV. However this relates to lyx 1.5.4 (/usr/local/bin/lyx) that I have compiled myself. Lyx 1.5.3 from ubuntu (/usr/bin/lyx) did not have this bug on my machine. So far so good: one might argue that I should have recompiled lyx for the interfaces to match after the update.
Yet, getting rid of ~/.config/Trolltech.conf solved the problem! Please try by yourself : $ mv ~/.config/Trolltech.conf ~/.config/Trolltech.conf.bak and please report if it solves the problem. This might mean this bug is related to bug #197950 -- the symptoms are different but the workaround is the same. I add qt4 to the list, since it seems to be related to qt4. (before you ask, yes, yesterday's update got qt4.4 on my computer) -- lyx 1.5.3.1 crashes as soon as it starts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228067 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
