Its hard to say anything except that the problem occurs inside the X11 library called from GDK called from GTK during the initialisation of the displays called from Geany at line |

Thank you. I have decided to take an easy way out and do fresh install. All works now. Cheers. |
|
didn't you have a fresh install before already? Not sure, but maybe your hardware (hard drive maybe) is faulty? |
Running on fresh install of ubuntu/mate 22.04. Crash is consistent, any time I try to select some text using either keyboard or mouse
