[Qgis-user] QGIS Crash on Opening Project

[Alex Mandel]

I've have heard recently of projects crashing on failure to find some 
layers. Can you open the qgs project file (It's a text file) and verify 
that the paths it's trying to search work. I can see if samba/windows 
shares are involved that your ubuntu system might not be resolving them 
correctly. So you might want to verify that you can file browse to the 
data locations 1st.

Thanks,
Alex
