Pdfchain doesn't start. When trying to start from terminal I get:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Any suggestions?

  • Still getting the `Segmantation fault` message with 17.10, installed either from pdfchain-team ppa, or from Software channel. :( Worked so well in 16.04 LTS. Fortunately, `pdftk` works [from command line](https://askubuntu.com/a/282455/38585). – Dɑvïd Sep 01 '17 at 13:34

    And it is a confirmed bug [reported on Launchpad](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pdfchain/+bug/1685778). Hopefully this means there will be a fix soonish. – Dɑvïd Sep 06 '17 at 07:48

I will first try purge pdfchain: 

sudo apt-get purge pdfchain

And check. If this doesnt work try to reinstall it with and purge config too:

sudo apt-get remove pdfchain
sudo apt-get purge pdfchain

Then install it :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pdfchain-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pdfchain

Tell me if it works. If not you may try to debug the pdgchain with gdb for example.

    You don't need to remove and purge. Just purge will remove the software and delete the configuration files. – user68186 Oct 29 '16 at 18:11
  • I would leave the ppa repository out. `pdfchain` is in Ubuntu 16.04, and likely to be more stable than a release from PPA. – zwets Oct 29 '16 at 20:57
  • It didn't work.. Must be some hidden options I can't delete when unisntalling. – garriguer Dec 04 '16 at 12:51

    Me neither on Ubuntu 16.10 with PDF Chain 0.4.4. Using `ppa:pdfchain-team/ppa` did not change the result. – nekketsuuu Apr 06 '17 at 01:32
