Patch from Rassian Ubuntu forum.
Check in Ubuntu 9.04.

I'm not able to reproduce this crash with the latest version of skencil. Can you please try to reproduce it with version 0.6.17-17? Thanks.

OS: Kubuntu Jaunty 9.04 with KDE 4.3 from PPA

Linux axe 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 19:25:34 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Where can I get 0.6.17-17 deb for Jaunty?

You can try https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skencil/0.6.17-17/+build/1135758/+files/skencil_0.6.17-17_i386.deb

I have the AMD64 system, I need another deb. I have found it nearly this link, but all of them is for Karmic, I can't install it on Jaunty:
$ sudo dpkg -i ./skencil_0.6.17-17_amd64.deb

Is a workaround patch and does not solve the problem with the menu
patch offers Sciko is working.

Hi All,
I just had a chance to test. I couldn't find skencil.0.6.17-17 in Jaunty repository either so I downloaded the package from the link Nick provided:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skencil/0.6.17-17/+build/1135758/+files/skencil_0.6.17-17_i386.deb
It is dependent on python-support>0.90. I couldn't find anything above 0.87 in Jaunty(main,proposed) so I downloaded the latest version for Karmic from:
http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-support/python-support_1.0.3ubuntu1_all.deb
After installing with dpkg I got 1 error message:
~/Desktop$ sudo dpkg -i python-support_1.0.3ubuntu1_all.deb skencil_0.6.17-17_i386.deb
...
Setting up python-support (1.0.3ubuntu1) ...

  assert(version_id_col_object is not None, "version_id_col (%s) does not exist." % version_id_col)
Processing triggers for man-db ...
...
Now I can run skencil. GUI comes up. As max wrote there must be a bug with the menu bar. When I run skencil from the terminal I still get the following error messages but it does not crash.

I can confirm that this also happens on Karmic as batu says. The program doesn't crash, but it does print the following messages:

Can reproduce in Maverick Alpha One. Attaching the output I get when running Skencil 0.6.17-17 (Maverick) as it's too long to post all of it in a comment.

Setting as confirmed as per comment #14
