which program are you trying to run?

[trikrasne (trikrasne)]

it doesn't happen when i try to open some program. mostly it happens when i already have firefox opened and i browse the internet but (i think) it also happens if the ff is closed and other programs are running.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

This runs "python unityquantal.py", but this isn't anything which we ship in Ubuntu. It seems you run some third-party PPAs or otherwise? Do you know what unityquantal.py is, and how you got it? Without this we cannot debug this crash.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Also, this looks like an assertion failure, not a crash. Please try to run "python unityquantal.py" from the appropriate directory and copy&paste the output here.

[trikrasne (trikrasne)]

i don't have any idea how and where did i get it.

i'm sorry but i can not run what you've suggested because i reinstalled my ubuntu from zero just before your message. i intend to install most of the apps and repos that i had before, so if it'd happen again i'll let you know.

Thanks. I'm closing this for the time being, but will reopen if/once you have more info.
