It seems like that to me, any Qt application (excluding KDE ones, since they use a different file dialog) that uses the Qt's built-in file dialog will always crash when a file is selected, and if one is run from a terminal, they will always finish with:
Interface is not valid ASSERT failure in : "Got an update for an invalid inteface. Investigate this.", file atspiadaptor.cpp, line 899 Aborted (core dumped) Besides removing the package 'at-at-spi', setting the Qt theme to GTK+ (using qtconfig) will allow the user to workaround this problem in most situations by having a Qt-only program use GTK+ 2's file dialog, which should work fine with at-spi2. However, if anytime Qt's built-in file dialog is shown, and that a file has been selected, that program will still crash. ** Attachment added: "One situation in which there is a potential for a program to crash on file select if qt-at-spi is installed (VLC's open file dialog, with the 'Embed the file browser in open dialog' setting turned on)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt-at-spi/+bug/946956/+attachment/3698131/+files/vlc-embedded-file-dialog.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946956 Title: lyx crashes in open/save file dialog To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lyx/+bug/946956/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
