segmentation fault crash

• Mar 23, 2016 - 04:37

I'm running 2.02 f51dc11 on a Dell XPS 13 running Ubuntu 14.04 and I get near random, but constant crashes. Sometimes right on startup, sometimes after a few minutes of work. There does not seem to be a discernible pattern. This renders Musescore useless. I've also tried installing the nightly, but I get the same result. I know that some have had success preventing the start up crash by disabling the start center, I have done that but still encounter problems. When I run from the terminal this is what it shows:

greg@hummingbird:~$ mscore
initScoreFonts 0x31dec00
init Help from:
cannot setup data for help engine: Cannot open collection file: /usr/share/mscore-2.0/manual/doc_en.qhc
tick2measure 0 (max -1) not found
undoInsertTime 480 at 61440, spanners 0
expand voice: found Rest 6/8
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
greg@hummingbird:~$ mscore
initScoreFonts 0x3637730
init Help from:
cannot setup data for help engine: Cannot open collection file: /usr/share/mscore-2.0/manual/doc_en.qhc

addClone Rest at 1920 1/2
expand voice: found Rest 1/2
reinstate at 2400, 480
addClone Rest at 2400 1/4
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any help would be appreciated. I only have Ubuntu on my machine and would really like to be able to write out exercises for my students.

Thanks,
Greg

Any and every score causes a crash. It doesn't matter whether I open MScore and start a new score, or I open a previously saved score, I still get the crash. The score that I was working on for the crash I copied the terminal log for was a new score, I just changed to 6/8, added one note, and then crash.

Thanks,
Greg

Jojo - Thank you for the help. I just tried factory reset but I get the same crash.

greg@hummingbird:~$ mscore -F
