Mostafa Najafi (najafiyazdi-m) is right. If medit is ran with sudo, it doesn't crash. I like medit so much that I arranged a temporary solution for myself.
- I have installed Main Menu with : sudo apt-get install alacarte - Then I opened Main Menu, navigated to Accessories, then "medit" menu item. Clicked Properties. - In the "Command" field, I found the text "medit %F" (without quotes). I have added sudo before it, making it: sudo medit %F - Clicked OK and quit Main Menu. Now medit doesn't crash when I open it from dash. After opening it from dash I have right-clicked on the launcher icon of medit and clicked Lock to Launcher. Now the launcher shortcut works ok. (I haven't used Software center to install medit, so I had to manually add the icon to Launcher. You may not need to do this.) This solution also works when you open a file with nautilus right click menu. Cool! This is not a permanent solution, I know. But it lets you use medit until the bug is resolved. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1241750 Title: Often crashing after upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/medit/+bug/1241750/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
