today i received 4.0.7 via Updater, but only Eeschema works. If i start Pcbnew or Footprint editor, KiCad crashes.
I completly purged KiCad and reinstalled it. Still same behaviour
The console outputs this:
The program ‘kicad’ received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was ‘BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)’.
(Details: serial 7646 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Might be related to this bug mentioned on the mailing list. (This is the reason the 4.0.7 release has been moved one week back. I don’t know why ubuntu pushed it early again.) https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg30126.html
If you think the list of segfaults listed in the mail by wayne does not list all problems then it might be a good idea to open a bug over at the bugtracker. Maybe also look if there is already a similar bug reported.
