[Qgis-user] Georeferencing Crash

[Steve Katzberg]

All,

Thank you for replying.  The problem appears related to the starting of an 
X-window or whatever is the equivalent in Ubuntu with Qgis.  Once Qgis went 
unstable the first time, I could "kill 'pid' " to stop it but upon restart 
of Qgis, all that appears is a highly unstable bit of graphics rapidly 
jumping around and not accessible in any way via mouse-click.  I have purged 
Qgis, reinstalled Qgis, started it from the luncher and from the command 
line, with and without plug-ins.  Always the same problem.  On reinstall, 
the Qgis graphic comes up fine, says it is starting and then the Hints 
graphic comes up and immediately behind the correct grapics, the rapid lines 
with no correct rendering of anything.  I think the original instability has 
somehow damaged the Ubuntu and I don't know how to fix it.

By the way, the Qgis icon on the start menu rapidly pulsates.

That might be it, but there good be other possibilities.
Which version did you install and from which repository?
Which transformation did you pick?

Have you run qgis from command line to see if it dumps and error message
when the crash happens.

Thanks,
Alex
