Thanks. We'll need to get a debug version of Tilda.

Can you follow the instructions listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash?action=show&redirect=DebuggingProgramCrashes

I can confirm this happening not only for amd64, but for an i386 also.

another confirmation on an intel box. First reboot after running a dist-upgrade, which has not completed successfully.

Seems to be a configuration file error. Please delete (backup first, if needed) the ~/.tilda directory and try to run tilda again.

Changed in tilda:
assignee: nobody → asisak
status: Unconfirmed → Needs Info

Yes, the problem is that Tilda changed the config file format. The new config files are very different from the old ones. The upgrade should provide some automatic configuration file converter.
