I dont see much I can do about either crash. If you wish to run calibre on the Mint 15 Vm, edit gui.json in the calibre config directory to disable the splash screen.
It looks like the startup crash is related to the virtualbox video driver, as well. Updating virtualbox and the Guest Additions (including the video driver) didn't fix the issue, but it DID give me a few more debug options (LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose), which gave the following when launching calibre:
Code:
libGL error: core dri or dri2 extension not found
libGL error: failed to load driver: vboxvideo
I agree there's not much sense in pursuing splash-screen issues with a virtual video driver--especially when disabling the splash-screen is easy enough to do. And works! Both the closing and the opening segfaults go away. I should have noticed that the splash screen was the difference between setup and regular launch. Easiest solution is to remember to disable the splash-screen in the gui preferences before closing after that initial setup.

Thanks for the help!
