The problem is easily solved by uninstalling the package overlay- scrollbars. It does not seem to handle the case well in which there is very little room for a scrollbar or something like that. Running wireshark from the console yields messages like:

The stack depth was at least 1200 in my case, after which I stopped looking. As stated, removing overlay-scrollbars solved the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1302143 Title: wireshark crashed with SIGSEGV in malloc_printerr() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireshark/+bug/1302143/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
