ubuntu-ca Digest, Vol 51, Issue 20

[Ralph Pichie]

You can get more descriptive info on why a program crashes by running it
from the command line.  So from your desktop environment, launch a
terminal (gnome-terminal is in Applications -> Accessories ->
Terminal).  From there type the name of the application you want to
launch, for example "mplayer".

The GUI should appear for mplayer, simply reproduce the crash and see
what happens on the command line.

Send the info along to see if anyone on the list can help.
