I was not able to find bug #1631434.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you get the issue every time you try to start it? What video card/driver do you use? You should be able to access the other bug now

[Stuardo -StR- Rodríguez (stuardo)]

Hmm. I'm no longer able to replicate the problem

[Andrew Moreland (derander)]

I have this issue on Ubuntu 17.10, same exact segfault message. Happens every time I try to execute the program. Using an nvidia 1050 ti with the 387.12 NVIDIA binary drivers selected from "Additional Drivers" under "software and updates".

[Andrew Moreland (derander)]

If it is relevant, I am using an AMD ryzen processor.

[Had (hadriman)]

I got this bug running a live CD after I switched the video drivers from nouveau to nVidia's proprietary driver

[Stuardo -StR- Rodríguez (stuardo)]

I think this is fixed, I can't replicate it anymore.

[Paul Williams (paul1764)]

I agree, I can't replicate it either

This bug affects me when using the gnome shell on Xenial
