OK, great - we finally have a stack trace (i.e. shotwell.gdb), which lets us see what's going on. This now looks like a duplicate of bug 675068, which occurred in Shotwell 0.7 whenever the Shotwell library contained files remotely accessed via ssh. That bug was fixed in Shotwell 0.8. So:
1. Are some of your library files on a network drive? 2. Whether they are or not, can you try upgrading to Shotwell 0.8 to see if the problem goes away? You can install Shotwell 0.8 from the Yorba PPA following the instructions on the Yorba web site at http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#binaries . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/711294 Title: Shotwell crashes a second after launch -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
