CodeLite crashes on opening, just installed today

[mlangan]

I just installed CodeLite and upon opening it I immediatley get a message "codelite crashed: you may attach to it using gdb or let it crash silently.. Attach debugger?"
upon selecting Yes it opens up a terminal window with the following information

Please let me know if I can include more information on this bug. I'm somewhat of a n00b with ubuntu and programming, but excited to learn more, thanks!

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

I'm affected for this problem but i'm run it in open suse 13.1

[IVAN MASIP PULIDO (masip-mail)]

if you try open the software in root session, you will not have this problem. Looks like a problem in the user session

Just delete the folder %APPDATA%\codelite and codelite works very fine

this is the complete solution -> https://github.com/eranif/codelite/issues/442

It's works for you then close this issue please

Hi,

IVAN, I'm not convinced you're having the same problem as mlangan here. The version of codelite in openSUSE is much more recent (5.2) than the version in ubuntu (2.8) and the github bug you posted doesn't actually affect version 2.8

mlangan, I'm assuming you're using codelite 2.8.0.4537~dfsg-4 and running trusty on i386 (tell me if I'm wrong).
I've uploaded a PPA of codelite 6.0.1 here:
   https://launchpad.net/~jcowgill/+archive/codelite
This is the next version of codelite which should be uploaded to ubuntu soon. Could you install that version of codelite and see if you still have the issue?

If you still have the issue, can you generate a backtrace as described here:
   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace#Generation
and attach it to this bug report.

James

Closing because I haven't received a reply, I can't reproduce it, and the bug doesn't contain enough information to narrow it down. If you can still reproduce this with the version in vivid (6.1.1), reply to this bug or open another one.
