Start up with no project loaded

Click the globe to choose a CRS and it crashes

I'm on Debian 10 too, but cannot reproduce this. Tried all kind of configurations.

@patrick do you have a corrupted config maybe?
Do you start up with a certain project (See Options/General/Project files), or the Welcome Page
Maybe it is a plugin (Lat Lon Tools?) playing up?
If you cleanup/rename all your stuff (.config/QGIS .qgis2 .local/config/QGIS), still crashing?
If you start qgis with:
qgis --profiles-path /tmp/foo
Still crashing?

I can crash a brand new Debian 9.1 VM that has only just had Qgis installed for the very first time and has never opened any projects at all.

Here is a VM that replicates the behaviour

https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=kZAfT57Z0doVKojjEQ4dvJQfYAmsOQpolq4k

Some particular local considerations that may apply

• NZ locale
• XFCE desktop environment
• web filtering in effect as this is an educational institution that I work out of.

I just had a similar thing happen on Linux Mint 18.1 Serena (4.4.0-101-generic) QGIS code revision 19b062c. I went to change the project projection and QGIS crashed.

On one of my Xubuntu VMs I think it just freezes trying to display the dialog instead of crashing.

Yes I would say very much the same issue there.

Patrick, a fix was committed to master yesterday which hopefully has dealt with this crash. Can you confirm the crash you suffered from his gone? Thanks.

The latest version available on Buster is 6508543, does that version include the fix? as it still crashes.

Doesn't sem to crash on the original VM
On the Buster system I have it doesn't crash, but doesn't seem to be able to display the current CRS of a 2.18 project file.
