Hey guys, I'm a long time user of Spyder on Windows but am working some with Linux now.

When I change the working directory to path that comes from mounted media (such as my windows partition)

/media/LinuxUsername/OS/Users/WindowsUsername/blah

I get a hard crash in spyderlib (the version from apt-get, I guess I should try the development clone). When I start back up it opens up my previously loaded files and then I can change to the directory without issue. I didn't file an issue because I thought possibly it could be my unfamiliarity with Ubuntu and I was doing something wrong. Any ideas on this?

Hi Matt,

Do you have the Project Explorer open when doing the dir switch? We found some time ago that spyder is crashing when it's active.

Cheers,

Carlos

No, I have never really used the Project Explorer. That view is closed/widget off

Hhmm, if it's not that hard for you, please try to follow our guide to give us an stacktrace with which we can see what's exactly happening to you:

I think it must have something to do with the Unity desktop because it only occurs after a restart (Ubuntu 12.10). I will work on the stacktrace, probably Wednesday morning.

Thanks,

Any idea how this works with apport? Apport seems to be robbing my core files on 12.10. Possibly there is an easy way to get the stacktrace from Apport. If not, I'll figure something out eventually.

Ok, just fyi in order to get a core dump in 12.10 you have to reroute your core file arround apport in the /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern file.
