Segmentation Fault at the Terminal after the Application has been closed

[Shashank Mudlapur]

I am trying to run xpad in my terminal with Ubuntu 14.04 installed on my system.
When I run the following command

shashank@shashank:~$ xpad

The xpad dialog box opens up.After I close the dialogue box, this shows up on the terminal :

[1]+ Segmentation Fault (Core Dumped)

But if I use the following command

shashank@shashank:~$ xpad&

The xpad dialog box opens up.After I close the dialogue box the following statements start appearing on the terminal in an infinite loop.

(xpad:21381): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_destroy: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
(xpad:21381): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

In some older versions Xpad had this problem.

What version are you using?
If you are not using the latest version, would you mind to give that one a try?

[Shashank Mudlapur (shashankmudlapur)]

The version is 4.2-0ubuntu1.I believe it is the latest version

[Arthur Borsboom (arthurborsboom)]

You are using the last version in the ubuntu repositories. A long standing issue, since I have a hard time getting the known Linux distributions to use the latest version of Xpad. The latest version is v4.5

If you can, download, compile and install the latest version of Xpad, which you can find below.
Please let me know, if this solves your issue.

If you cannot you have to wait until a package maintainer of Ubuntu takes the effort to put the latest version in the Ubuntu repository. Maybe you can file a bug report in Ubuntu stating that the repository is not using the last version?

Hi Shashank,

Did the latest version of Xpad solve your issue?

[Arthur Borsboom (arthurborsboom)]

I believe this issue has been fixed in newer versions of Xpad.
Therefore closing the bug report.

I am in Ubuntu 16.04. I have this issue, too. I can't open Xpad application now (click Xpad icon). But the unity7.log increase crazy.

Which version of Xpad is being used?
