Your Chimera crash is almost certainly caused by a graphics driver bug. Unfortunately these are very common. Chimera 1.9 uses modern OpenGL 3d graphics while Chimera 1.6 used an older version of OpenGL. You’ll need to install a newer graphics driver to fix this crashing issue. You can use Chimera menu entry Help / Report a Bug… which will tell us your current graphics driver version and we may be able to advise on a driver that will work.

Dear all, I installed the latest stable Chimera 1.9 on a 64bit ubuntu precise 12.04 and I noticed that every time I try to use the side-view applet, in the viewing control, Chimera just crash. Other function seems to work just fine. I should add that on the same machine the Chimera 1.6 does not crash. Can anyone share a similar experience in Linux? chimera Segmentation fault (core dumped)
Any hint what may be the problem?
