It seemed to install ok. But, executing it the way the Desktop/moneydance.desktop shows it to be run: $ /bin/sh "/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance" [kcrash] TDECrash: Application 'output.logl-gtk-tqt-application' crashing... $
The crash seems to be in a TDE module. Right?
Maybe, maybe not. Sometimes TDE "catches" the crash even though it's not responsible for it.
To verify, try running MoneyDance under gdb. If it crashes again, execute the 'bt' command and post the output here.
Tim,
Thak you for the prompt reply! I know _nothing_ about running `gdb`. (In fact, it took a little effort to discover its "quit" command -- versus "exit".) Below are my failed efforts at attempting to run moneydance under gdb:
$ gdb Moneydance GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1 ... "/usr/local/bin/Moneydance": not in executable format: File format not recognized (gdb) quit $ file /usr/local/bin/Moneydance /usr/local/bin/Moneydance: symbolic link to `/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance' $ gdb /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1 ... "/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance": not in executable format: File format not recognized (gdb) quit $ file /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance: POSIX shell script, ASCII text executable, with very long lines $
So, then, not knowing anything about `gdb`, I tried the following
(the way moneydance.desktop executes it (/bin/sh >> dash)):
$ gdb /bin/sh "/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance" GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1 ... Reading symbols from /bin/sh...(no debugging symbols found)...done. "/opt/Moneydance/Moneydance" is not a core dump: File format not recognized (gdb) quit $
And,
$ gdb "/bin/sh /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance" GNU gdb (Ubuntu 7.7.1-0ubuntu5~14.04.2) 7.7.1 ... /bin/sh /opt/Moneydance/Moneydance: No such file or directory. (gdb) quit $
Awaiting guidance from The More Knowledgeable.
Thanks, Jonesy
