mhh, I don't use i386 based hardware normaly, on amd64 KiCad is working well so far. O.k., this is an upstream issue and need to be addressed there. Can you please make a GDB log of a segfault? You need to install kicad-dbgsym for this. https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace Once we have a GDB log we can open a issue within the upstream bug tracker. Regards Carsten
