I wanted to attach the generated "codeblocks.xml", but this system doesn't seem to allow it. (Or I am too blind to see the button.)

After a couple of starts, project/workspace loading and closing, Codeblocks starts normally again.

So the Warnings mentioned above do not seem to be related to the crash I experienced, because those remain if started with -d and -v option.

How did you compile C::B ?

I see the ICCP-messages only with C::B compiled with wx2.9+, and only if I start it from inside C::B

I am useing wxGTK-2.8.12.1 on gtk+-2.24.22.

The ICCP message eventually went away. Current version is SVN 9549 and the crash is now perfectly reproducable. Use Desktop-Icon: Crash. Start from console: No problem.

When I route the output to log files, the last lines of the log when crashing are:

========

CppCheck plugin activated

ClassBrowser::UpdateClassBrowserView(): No active project available.

Initializing plugins...

KeyBinder failed UpdateById on[921][_Copy]

KeyBinder failed UpdateById on[923][_Paste]

ClassBrowser::OnThreadEvent(): Class browser updated.

While the lines around that when I start C::B from a console are:

========

KeyBinder failed UpdateById on[922][Cu_t]

KeyBinder failed UpdateById on[921][_Copy]

KeyBinder failed UpdateById on[923][_Paste]

ClassBrowser::OnThreadEvent(): Class browser updated.

So the last line in the log from the crashed instance is actually the last line possible before interactivity starts.

I do not know whether this helps, but I am using KDE-4.11.5 at the moment on a Gentoo linux 64bit system with kernel 3.12.7.

The desktop icon starter does not do anything funny but calling the codeblocks executable with enabled launch feedback. No dbus registration or any other options.

I *think* I have solved it. The permissions on the desktop file were 744 (-rwxr--r--) with the group set to my private group. After I changed it to 755 (-rwxr-xr-x) the start via desktop icon no longer produced a crash. Tested about a dozen times.

So while this is more a topic for an FAQ, the question remains why C::B crashes if the group (or other) permission(s) of a desktop file starter haven't have the executable bit set. I have other desktop files with the executable bit set only for the user, and none of them has a problem.

The Problem is still there in my C::B 13.12 (stable version).

Every time I start codeblocks, it show me a "Debug report" dialog box (A debug report has been generated in the directory /tmp/codeblocks_dbgrpt-blabla).

I tried download C::B 13.12 from official site (instead of apt-get from wheezy-backport), and also tried download the sorce of C::B 13.12 then compile it myself, delete ~/.codeblocks, and reinstall, the problem is still there.

But if I start the codeblocks in terminal with -d option, everything seems OK.

Interestingly, if now close codeblocks, start again with command "codeblocks", with some probability, the program may work again, the last message is

I'm using Debian 7. One more interesting thing is that C::B can run without problem in my another computer which is also running Debian7....
