Pronterface crashes when loading Gcode #34

I am running Ubuntu 64-bit, latest commit of pronterface. Python 2.7. It seems that, I can load my first gcode file fine, when I first start the program. Then if I press load file and try to load either another gcode file or the same file, the program either quits immediately or it locks up and I have to force a shut down.

So, every time I want to load a gcode file, I have to restart the application.

Running Ubuntu 64-bit as well and experiencing the same problem. It either crashes and hangs but does it in various locations it seems. Sometimes it will show the first layer of the STL and then freeze, other times it will show nothing and freeze, or it will just completely crash all together. I've been able to get it to move the printer, extrude, and everything else except for printing from a file.

Hmm, some how I accidentally "closed" the issue with my last comment. I deleted it but it still remained "closed" and the only way I see to reopen it is to add a new comment. So I am pasting the one I deleted here:

Interesting, mine behaves the same way, sometimes it shows the first layer, sometimes it just closes. But I can get it to print. I just have to re-open pronterface and load the gcode. Mine seems to crash on a secondary gcode load. Now things have changed a little too, sometimes I can get it to go for several different gcode openings without crashing. And when it does behave itself I get a message in the console about how it writes the last open file in prosolerc successfully. If I DON'T get this message, I know it will probably crash on the next Gcode I open.

I also have issues getting it to recognize my skeinforge folder, which I copy to the pronterface folder. My case is correct. File structure is correct, I have confirmed it with people who have it working. I have looked at the script to make sure it is checking for it in the right place. I have even tried using a .\ and full path in the pronterface.py script. I have also tried using a sym link instead. I have double checked that my permissions are ok. My pronterface folder is located in my home folder, so that shouldn't be a problem anyway. Everytime I try to start skeinforge from pronterface I get the can't find the skeinforge folder.

And I know, one would think I 'Must' have some stupid typo or something wrong. I have shown my directory structure (pastebin an ls of my folder structure) to several people and they say it is right.

No, it stopped doing it after my last upgrade. However, it does basically
the same thing now when connecting to the bot now. I press connect, here the
printer make that quick start noise, and pronterface just closes. I have to
try 3 or 4 times, keeping on reopening pronterface until finally I click and
it stays open while connecting. And then it works with no trouble.
