I actually managed to get it working by calling: gksudo gedit
After that, I can't reproduce the bug anymore. Calling gedit (without gksudo and through any launcher or in terminal) works perfectly now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637002 Title: gedit crashes with segmentation fault at launch Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 16.10, with gedit 3.22.0 on it. Whenever I try to have gedit running, I obtain the following output: Violación de segmento (`core' generado) Which is spanish for "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" I guess. dmesg returns: [ 1596.185619] gedit[11005]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f227efa5f80 sp 00007ffce4a78bc8 error 4 in libgio-2.0.so.0.5000.0[7f227eefe000+18d000] So I reinstalled libgio-2.0-0 (2.50.0-1), without results.
