I have installed chimera (chimera-alpha-linux_x86_64.bin) on my
Ubuntu laptop. <br>
The session crashes with segmentation fault without apparent
reasons (30% memory usage; 0% swap) and even when doing
nothing ... <br>
How can I debug this situation ?<br>

Usually odd crashes are caused by a faulty graphics driver. So if
you have an AMD/ATI or NVIDIA graphics card, you should install the
proprietary drivers, they are more robust than the open-source ones
and faster too. If you have Intel graphics, then you might be out
of luck depending on which model you have, but in general, you want
the newest version of the driver you can get which means the more
recent desktop Linux you can get -- the Intel driver is under very
active development right now.<br>
<br>
If you use chimera's Help / Report a Bug dialog to report this as a
bug, that will tell me about the hardware in your system and which
version of Ubuntu you have and then I'll be able to help you better.<br>
