QGIS and Ubuntu 'browse' dialogue causing crashing


Below is an image of 'the suspect dialogue' in Ubuntu that when you encounter it in QGIS you are most definitely going to crash the application.

You find this particular dialogue - which doesn't appear with every menu - when you use: - polygon centroids - raster extraction / projection - create new shapefile (from desktop when you browse to location of new file)



ubuntu 12.04 qgis 1.8



Answer



The solution for me was to remove the qt-at-spi package. It can be removed via the Software Centre (search for qt-at-spi, and click the 'Remove' button), or using the following command from the terminal:


sudo apt-get remove qt-at-spi
