QtCreator has segmentation fault on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit
-
I have a laptop with dual boot (Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 64 bit). In 14.04 I have no problems, but in 12.04 (kernel 3.8.0-44-generic) I installed qtcreator from the standard repository but it does not start. It quits with a segmentation fault.
The first lines from the backtrace output of gdb is:Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Hi,
Can you run ldd on your Qt Creator executable ?

Hi, thanks for your interest. I found the problem. My computer had a dual boot (Ubuntu 12 and 14) with a shared /home folder. It seems that on Ubuntu 12 I did not have read/write permission on the hidden folder .config/Nokia and it caused the segfault. I discovered the problem running qtcreator with sudo.
