Unable to start pcsx2 on Ubuntu 15.10: Segfault (version from package repository)

[blha303]

Hi, I got a segfault when trying to start pcsx2. Output:

$ pcsx2
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "overlay-scrollbar"
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I couldn't find where ubuntu stores core dumps, but I got the debug symbols and tried it again.

$ gdb pcsx2
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/games/pcsx2

I'm going to try building the version from this git repo installing pcsx2-unstable, see if that works. I know nothing about C++, so I don't know what that error means :)

Confirmed working in pcsx2-unstable:i386 (3:1.3.1~git20151022.123400-3), guess this issue isn't relevant to this repo and I should post it to launchpad?

I don't have upload rights in Ubuntu and I reported the issue more than a month ago. Feel free to bump the bug report.

The one from xenial should work.
