Segmentation fault after upgrading from ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04

Software
1

Good morning,

after upgrading from ubuntu 14.04 to ubuntu 16.04, I am not been able to run kicad anymore :frowning:
When I start kicad from command line I gain a “Segmentation Fault” error.

So, I tried to uninstall kicad, wxwidgets, I remove and reinserted the repository, reinstalled but no way, It does
not work.

I installed from:
add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-4

I tried to solve the segmentation fault by inspecting the core file. Seems to be a problem in wxThings, as reported below:
Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Works without issues, checkout whether the URL is correct which has extra ubuntu at the end compared to what you have typed

Are you on 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu? I have noticed that there have been problems with 32 bit (i386) building in the PPAs

Hi, this is what I did:

- uninstalled kicad
- removed repository
- update
- added new repository
- update
- install kicad

and I always get segmentation fault :(

Reading symbols from kicad...(no debugging symbols found)...done.

I did try with kicad from official ubuntu repository, and I always get
segmentation fault.
I don’t know what to do.

Hello, segfault problem persists :frowning:

Could the problem be the fact I have gcc5.4.0 installed, instead of gcc4.x.x???

But you aren’t compiling KiCad yourself are you?
You haven’t said if you have 32 bit or 64 bit Ubuntu

This looks more like a wx clash
My PC has both wx 2.8.12.1 and 3.0.2.0

It is a 64 bit edition.
I am using apt-get install …

I always install synaptic package manager and add the PPA like this
