LinuxQuestions.org - acidrip crashing in ubuntu feisty

Hi there,

I'm having a problem with acidrip in ubuntu feisty. I installed it through synaptic a few days ago, and was using it fine to rip from DVD to AVI, until yesterday when I added some other things through synaptic and now acidrip crashes on opening. I have mplayer/mencoder, libdvdread3 etc installed, and i can still watch DVD's through mplayer and VLC without problem.

Now, acidrip starts up fine, but when i click on 'load' [DVD], the program crashes (just disappears from the screen). I'm not sure what is causing this. When I load acidrip through command line, it loads as usual and crashes at the same point (clicking on 'load'), and i get this message at the command line:

Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Sans Not-Rotated 0' at /usr/bin/acidrip line 60.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I have no idea what this means, but I thought i'd check out the file /usr/bin/acidrip that it is referring to. This is what the file contains...

exit 0;

__END__

Line 60 is the one near the end that says "main Gtk2;".

Anyone have any ideas? I would love to get acidrip working again as I found it quite fast and simple to use.

Cheers
