Why I am getting a segmentation fault opening Guitar Pro?

Question

I am having this hard time with Guitar Pro on Ubuntu 11.04.

I am getting a segmentation fault error from the application, but it used to work before on Ubuntu 10.10, suddenly it stopped working.

This is the code from terminal:

Segmentation fault 

Any ideas? I am not very Ubuntu savvy on this type of things.

I am using Ubuntu 64 bit

Solution 1

I had this problem myself. Running Guitar Pro with root privileges and then updating the software to the latest version with the update manager fixes this. You should be able to run it normally afterwards without issue, as this was a glitch with guitar pro and 11.04.

Use this command to run Guitar Pro with root privileges:

gksudo /opt/GuitarPro6/gp-launcher.sh

Solution 2

Try running

unset UBUNTU_MENUPROXY
unset GTK_IM_MODULE
unset QT_IM_MODULE

in the terminal before launching your program, but make sure you run the program in the same terminal session. If you open a new tab, for example, you'll have run those commands again.

Actually there's a bug on ia32-libs package: getsatisfaction.guitar-pro.com/arobas_music/topics/… The workaround is on the website, the Guitar Pro developers are working in order to get this fixed. –
