Hi All, Recently I've been using a little python program called Timeline on my Ubuntu 15.04 system. Today, however, it stopped working and now gives me the following error when I try to launch if from the command line. (timeline.py:10359): Gdk-CRITICAL **: _gdk_pixmap_new: assertion '(width != 0) && (height != 0)' failed (timeline.py:10359): Gdk-CRITICAL **: IA__gdk_cairo_create: assertion 'GDK_IS_DRAWABLE (drawable)' failed Segmentation fault (core dumped) As Timeline relies on wx widgets (python-wxgtk2.8 on Ubuntu) and associated libraries to run I thought there might be a problem with the package though a purge and reinstall of these has not fixed the issue. I redownloaded the source in case something in the local install had changed, still no joy. A look through other recent updates show no other obvious candidates that could have caused the breakage. I've also spun up a lubuntu 15.04 live session where Timeline ran without issue. Any idea where to look next? Tim Ps As Sourceforge is (partly) down, so is the Timeline mailing list and homepage. Timeline can downloaded via wget from http://sourceforge.net/projects/thetimelineproj/files/thetimelineproj/1.6.0/...

Looks like it's getting bad data from somewhere and trying to create a 0x0 pixel image. Could your data have become corrupted somehow? Hope that helps, Andrew
Thank you Andrew, that's exactly it. Looks like Timeline tries to load the last used file on start, though I can't find any config files to purge to tell it not to. I would have though running another version of the program would bypass this issue. Thanks again. On Tue, Jul 21, 2015 at 9:25 PM, Andrew Pam <andrew@sericyb.com.au> wrote:
