I am having the same problem as above. I used to use xchat under debian, but switched to ubuntu with my new PC a few months ago. I've not been able to use it to connect to the freenode #ubuntu channel since.
I run xchat-gnome from the command line, and it starts up ok, connects to freenode, sends my nick password / etc. Then I get the channel selection window, if I type in the channel name (ubuntu) and click join channel, both the main windows and the join channel window die, and I get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xchat-gnome (xchat-gnome:25886): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) as the output in the terminal. I have attached the file from /var/crash as well It would be helpful to be able to use irc.... I'll try and use some other irc clients...
