Public bug reported:
When starting the lilypond music editor "Frescobaldi 2.05" in Ubuntu
12.10, the program loads to the point (I think) of loading the pdf
prieview, then the display system seemingly crashes, and I am brought
back to the lightDM login screen. I am running xubuntu on a very old
computer: a Pavilion a230n. I have an nvidia 6200 video card with the
latest proprietary driver (something I need to be able to run certain
other programs). Previously, before updating from Xubuntu 12.04,
Frescobaldi seemed very stable.
Under advice from people in the questions section, I tried removing the
nvidia drivers and installing Nouveau. I opened Frescobaldi and got the
same crash that I had been experiencing. I then removed Nouveau, and
installed the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-304.64 driver that I had downloaded from
the nvidia site. I restarted everything, and started up Frescobaldi.
Same crash.
I then created a new user called "testing." I restarted my computer
(after its last crash, just to be sure), and then tried running the
installed version (v.2.05). It crashed immediately, exactly the same as
in my own account.
On a hunch, I went to the Frescobaldi editor's website, and downloaded
both v.2.08, and v.1.20 (which I know used to be stable on this
computer). I then changed to each of their folders, and ran each program
locally (./). Both of them caused exactly the same crash.
In terms of reproducing the problem, I only know what it is that I do.
I simply go to Applications => Multimedia => Frescobaldi. The splash
screen displays, then the editor screen comes up. When it is fully
loaded, the screen goes black, and after a moment the login screen
loads.
Now, I notice that this same crash occurs at random intervals while the
screensaver is running after locking down my screen. I will come back
to the screen, but instead of logging into the xscreensaver
authentication box, I find that I am in the lightDM login screen. Since
I am not around when this happens, I have to assume that I am getting
the same kind of crash at random intervals when the screensaver is
running. After logging into the desktop, there is always an apport(sp?)
crash report which I send in.
I have also installed the gnome desktop, and I get the same crash when
starting Frescobaldi in gnome.
