Segmentation fault in Ubuntu x64 Setup 5.3.1

[WaeCo]

Hello,

first of all I am not sure if this is a bug or a configuration porblem that is why I posted it here first.

I tried to install precompiled Qt Libararies from the website.
After I click on Next, it craches with Segmentation fault.

My machine is a virtual headless server with
2 GB Ram
Single Core CPU
Ubuntu x64 14.04.1 LTS
Xvfb Display

I also tried to use pre build package from apt
but from this installation I could not start qtcreator.
When I build from Source, qtcreator is able to start but craches when I try to open a project.
Interesting is that my project compiles and runs without any problems.

I have read many discussions but did not find a solution.
It has probably something to do with memory allocation.

I was not able to debug qtcreator because gdb threw segmentation fualt, too.
Here is a gdb trace of the setup:

why does it try to allocate 2GB memory ?

I hope you can help me or at least provide a workaround for qtcreator.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I'd recommend asking this on the Qt-creator mailing list. You'll find there Qt Creator's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.
